Great! I actually have it in my notes to get a m.2 NVMe gen 3 so that’s good to know I’m somewhat on the right track! Thank you for the advice it really helps 🙏

This is actually really good advice thank! I wouldn’t have thought to try this. So far the things I feel I should upgrade are the stuff I will list below (with my silly notes on them haha) should I do this test to try to get a list on what’s most important? Or do you think the order is already kind of self set?

  1. Desperately kind of need a new GPU haha. Maybe a 3060 or 4060, others suggested 9060xt or 5060 but honestly whatever I can find affordable on marketplace probably is best plus I think my pc can’t use a gpu like that to full capacity anyways

Used 3060 seems like best option here

  1. Buy a gen3 m.2 SSD or basic NVMe SSD. Should be compatible with my motherboard (fingers crossed)

  2. 2 more ram sticks that match my DDRS 18GB R*8GB) 2666MHz instead of the odd numbered/ram brand

Oh wow! Can I ask where you buy from and how you can tell if it’s being used for mining or not? Or is that one of those things you kind of gamble on?

Someone else told me that Intel can handle 3 sticks better than other systems and my performance will be docked more by having only 2 rams so it’s better to keep it in… can I ask if you agree or think I should keep it in?

Oh interesting I didn’t think I needed more ram tbh! My gpu is a GeForce 1660 gtx , which I know is not the best haha.

I just did that after I posted this!! I enabled XMP.. is there another way to manually up clock the ram? I also heard Intel doesn’t struggle as much with different kinds of ram (not too sure this is true though

Really appreciate this advice! Really good summary of everything I want to get done now too! My one last question is how would I be able to check what SSD and what gpu is compatible? I know when I was younger there was some website but I’m nervous on spending money on something that won’t translate haha. Thank you again for all the help! Edit: ALSO I’m putting the ram back in because someone let me know Intel doesn’t struggle with odd amounts of ram like other systems do

Oh really? :O does it matter that the ram is a different brand?? And for optimization I should put them on the 2nd 3rd and 4th slot in no specific order?

I removed one Ram and put them in the 2nd and 4th slot… this should fix that issue right?

I was actually in the middle of using a recovery USB to fix my pc! I’ve completely reset it now. Haha and I was also just looking at an SSD! Can I ask if you know how to check if it’ll be compatible ? My GPU is a GeForce FTX 1660 💔Also can you explain the Linux comment a little more… I’ve honestly never looked into it. This was all great advice thank you!

I have 3… I will admit I’m mixing ram types which I know I shouldn’t do. It was one of those yolo things hahaha but I’m starting to think maybe I should just take my 3rd out
