Good evening all. I've a x570 AUS Tuf motherboard and currently rocking 16GB 3600mhz RAM made up of x2 8GB sticks. - I have bought some more, another x2 8GB, and so far I've been unable to get a stable PC. I.e it often BSOD. Any tips I can try?

Turned out. Super easy! Downloaded some free Clone software 1. Put the new NVMe in the spare slot on the motherboard 2. Used the clone software to ‘clone the data /boot drive from the existing 3.0 NVMe to to new 4.0 NVMe 3. Swapped them around so the new ‘faster’ NVMe is next to the CPU 4...

All on the same SSD at the moment

The drive arrived today - It can set in the wrapper until I have half a day spare I think…. I was thinking as suggested. Back up - Can’t think I have too much, as most photos and the like are on OneDrive. Take out the Samsung Install the WD 850x Install windows on the 850x Put the Samsung...

Started with a 3600x CPU, 3070 and NZXT 511 case Now on a 5600x, 3080 and Corsair 4000d case https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/75957878? https://www.3dmark.com/spy/28563777

Hey :-) So, I've a X570 motherboard with x1 PCIe 3.0 1tb SSD installed (Samsung) Having recently bought Red Dead 2 with it's huge install size, it's encouraged me to get another NVMe drive.... Knowing the X57 motherboard will support x2 PCIe 4.0 SSD's - I bought a 1tb WD Black SN850 with...

I keep getting this message when I boot up I suppose the question is - Where do I find the bitlocker key??

ok - try again - Updated original message :-)

I will check - I suspect I haven’t - I’ll screen shot what appears on the screen Agreed - I have been super vague in fairness

Hi So, I've changed my CPU (3600x to 5600x) There is a new Win11 update that has appeared in my settings. I've downloaded the update, gone to install However, the I can't install as I do not have TPM enabled - I assume it reverted back when I swapped the CPU? So, into the BIOS I go. Turn TPM...

So. Took your advice Upgraded from a 3600x to a 5600x Didn’t make much difference as it turned out So. Bought a 3080 ;-) Ray Tracing - bells and whistles - 1440p - Winner :-)

Changed the 3600x to a 5600x And...from a TimeSpy perspective at least. Not much change https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/75670992 More of a change on FireStrike http://www.3dmark.com/fs/27803801

Dell 1440p 144hz - I’ll dig out the model name

Begs the 64 thousand dollar question Would I gain more from upgrading from a 3600x to a 5600x and keeping the 3070 Or. Upgrading from a 3070 to a 3080 and keeping the 3600x

Just started again today! Playing without RT and it 'more or less sticks to 60fps' I assumed a mighty 3080 upgrade from the 3070 would liberate some RT goodness at a steady 60fps with quality dlss. I'm surprised that the 3600x CPU is holding me back. Be cheaper to upgrade to the 5600x mind!
