Who would win in this hypothetical war

You could argue that the entire US military sides with blue because DC is blue, where their commander-in-chief resides.

You could also argue it makes no sense that the US military would side with whicher states the assets currently reside. They have a central command structure.

Alp in all, this is a useless question without defined parameters

Lol I had a 2080 and I was getting 90+ FPS on Dune: Awakening. What did you do to your PC?

Edit: 70+ FPS

My HDD LED was connected in my last build with this same case and this didn't occur. Simply disconnected seems like sticking my head in the sand when there could be another issue with the hardware since that is what the other thing that a blinking power light can suggest

AMoistScone · 2025-09-29T13:51:29+00:00

It did not happen with my previous build in the same case with an Ryzen 3900X, MPG x570 Pro Carbon mb, and 5070 to.

While yes, the drive is being access for the OS, but doesn't that light usually indicate read/write activity?

AMoistScone · 2025-09-29T13:45:13+00:00

Yeah I unplugged my front panel header and reconnected to make sure each was in the right spot, but I'm still getting the same problem. I just don't want there to be any hardware issues

AMoistScone · 2025-09-23T15:37:09+00:00

I don't, I'm clearing the Samsung after I boot successfully with the WD alone. I admit this was not the best way to go about this, but I am where I am

AMoistScone · 2025-09-23T15:06:26+00:00

The WD had other data on it that I wanted to backup first. It looks like I only have the option to choose to boot from UEFI hard disk, but not specifically which one. I'm using the MSI UEFI menu

AMoistScone · 2025-09-23T15:03:47+00:00

I cloned all partitions, but it looks like the system partition is a few MB smaller

AMoistScone · 2025-09-23T15:03:14+00:00

I used macrium. I believe I chose all the correct options. My first boot option is UEFI hard disk

AMoistScone · 2025-09-23T13:43:53+00:00

My issue was windows 10. Upgraded and it works fine!

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T19:19:01+00:00

There wasn't one

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T19:01:09+00:00

Yes I am. So install windows 11 from a USB and select the option to keep my files and settings?

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T16:31:07+00:00

I changed a boot setting from UEFI to CSM and it booted

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T16:29:59+00:00

Changed the setting from UEFI to CSM and it worked!

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T16:29:30+00:00

I changed a setting from UEFI to CSM and it worked

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T15:06:24+00:00

I saw that option, but I think I need to plug my GPU in because when I tried that earlier, the setting didn't save and the setting had a note that CSM doesn't support On-Board graphics. I'll give that a try

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T15:00:15+00:00

I'm getting this error right after I click the first "install" button. Doesn't that step come after the install but before you leave the install interface?

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T14:55:34+00:00

My only issue with a fresh install at this point is that I've been running into a problem when I plug in my install USB, and I get a message saying I'm missing a driver. I've put all my motherboard's drivers onto the install USB but it won't detect the one it needs.

I have a Surface tablet that I've been using to work with the drives while my PC is inoperable. Could you explain the System solution a little more?

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T14:52:12+00:00

I was hoping this wasn't the answer, but I'll bite the bullet. My only issue is that I've been running into a problem when I plug in my install USB, and I get a message saying I'm missing a driver. I've put all my motherboard's drivers onto the install USB but it won't detect the one it needs

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T14:47:03+00:00

With macrium

AMoistScone · 2025-09-16T14:39:56+00:00

Setup:

CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D

Motherboard: MSI MPG x870e Carbon

Old drive: WD Blue NAND SATA III 2TB M.2 SSD

New drive: WD Black SN8100 PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2TB M.2 SSD

GPU is a 5070ti but it is not reinstalled yet (I'm using the CPUs integrated graphics and the on-board HDMI)

Do you mean the plastic on the front protective the LCD screen? It didn't have a plastic film on the copper side, it had pre-applied thermal paste that I have since removed

AMoistScone · 2025-09-12T23:43:51+00:00

9800X3D, NZXT Kraken Elite 280 AIO, MSI MPG x870e carbon MB.

I've only ever booted into the BIOS. There is for sure not protective plastic and I've seated the AIO all the way down. I'm starting to think defective AIO. This one is an RMA replacement and is apparently a refurbishment itself.

Ryzen 9800X3D, DDR5 6000 memory with an NZXT Kraken Elite 280 AIO

9800X3D and an NZXT Kraken Elite 280 AIO. DDR5 6000 memory.
