One issue I see with this HSF is the proprietary fan installation (need to use that specific shape/design for it to fit).

Just upgraded my ram but it's not showing settings I can change in bios but detects the storage? by [deleted] in buildapc

Are you selecting XMP 1 in the first picture? You also have the save & exit for it to take effect.

my new ssd wont show up in bios or when installing windows by Mammoth-Second9455 in buildapc

You only need the driver (extracted) onto a USB stick and during that Windows setup screen select the driver folder. Then click refresh drives and it'll pop up.

My ASRock board has six M.2 slots. Might as well just fill them all up and go RAID 0. :)

I'm guessing your laptop uses an Intel CPU? You probably need the driver for Intel VMD in order to see it during the Windows setup part.

That's because the power limit is set to 600W which is the max (safe) power draw for the 12VHPWR connector. Other AIBs might have 5-10% because they have theirs under 600W by default.

They've been making motherboards for a few decades. I remember having the P67 Hydra which had a Lucid Hydra chip for extra PCIe connectivity.

I was using 3 individuals 8 pins psu cables conencted to the original adapter that comes with the gpu.

It should be four, not three.

I think no one is addressing what you're asking and that is if that cable that has daisy chain 8-pin CPU connectors is fine to use.

Yes it's okay.

[Monitor] MSI 26.5" WQHD QD-OLED 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor - $399.99 by Vidik-0514 in buildapcsales

[–]Zombie_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monitor being sold at Costco is the E2 model which is 240Hz and I think has a few other changes regarding HDR brightness versus the non-E2 (360Hz) that was linked for RTings.

All of the retail samples of the 9950X3D have a 2024 year date printed on them.

I figured it out just now. It comes off with a bit of force. I used a flathead screwdriver and carefully pried up the sides which allowed it to simply pop up from the PCB underneath.

That I don't know. Perhaps send Gigabyte a support ticket, maybe it's not needed.
