Pull a current windows 10 usb down, and use that, might be a driver issue not seeing the chipset or something perhaps, but if you can boot recovery, diskpart 100% will work, has too its running from the USB not any of the internal drives. If you get it sorted, try bootrec /FixMbr bootrec...

That's what I assumed, thanks for clarifying, didn't want to put words in your mouth 😁

With a little luck 😊😁, had a mare this evening, raid server dropped a drive, no problem usually, have spare, wondered why the hot spare hadn't started rebuilding... Turns out the brand new (well been in the chassis completely unused for 18months) hot spare failed as well, luckily segate are...

Fingers crossed for ya 👍

😊👍

You could probably get away with 750w but the guys probably showed the 1000w for a reason like its only a few Bob more for the extra headroom. Your cpu and gpu would use 470w on their own at peak with nothing else for example. Gpu 250w and cpu 220w (well 216 spec wise technically but) then you...

I'll be honest I slipstream what I know the machines need, be a use I kick it off and walk away do something else, come back when windows and all the apps are installed, got gig at home, but it's still a whole lot quicker if pulling from the net is reduced to minimum, but not many people rebuild...

Post the build here, sure @SpyderTracks or @Scott might have some ideas if you post requirement/budget/use and what you been looking at.

Yeah looked at that one too forntravel, but already had Tb16 kicking around, and didn't need dual external monitor on the road, hence went with the (much) cheaper route of usb-c, plus on the road I don't have as much parafinailia plugged into it so don't necessarily need the higher throughput...

If its just failing on dual channel that would/could be a motherboard issue (if you say the cpu is bolted down right) or and XTU issue on the ram, tried forcing the motherboard to run it at stick, non XTU speeds? Seemif they both fail then, if they don't perhaps they aren't matched as well as...

Was trying to stick to stuff people could click through, not many know there way around the cmdline nowadays, however I do use ffmpeg to convert my x264 to x265 (hevc) on a scheduled job as it moves it to Google drive.

Change boot order in bios and should be able to boot from the other disk..... However I doubt it as I bet the MBR was on the Ssd so even though Windows is technically installed on the other drive, the system doesn't know how to speak to it. You say no commands worked from cmd prompt? Can't see...

I'm too blind nowadays to use 15.6 lol, but yeah feel for you. Post the spec you're looking at perhaps some of the guys can help you eek out what you need. Also is you wanna save a few bob, buy the windows license elsewhere and take it off your build, usually pick it up sub £50 and save...

Intel is generally used for 'pro gamers' as they do have the edge at 1% and 0.1% lows, however, if you are not a full-on competitive gamer earning you money from playing, I'd save the pennies and get the AMD, after all the next-gen consoles are using the same underlying tech as the Ryzen 3000...

Oh sorry, will explain, thermal paste changes viscosity at temp, so as it warm might be getting somewhere it shouldn't, hence why it's registering and then failing.

If it's also faulty might need to reseat the CPU, if the CPU is slightly miss-seated can cause memory channel errors., Just thought I'd mention it, happens regularly if somehow thermal paste gets trapped on the socket.

Yeah Handbrake (free) + AMD = quality, but if you want even more performance use Adobe Media Encoder (paid for), now uses NVenc along with the CPU, so motors through it!

Lots of benchmarks around (have a look at LTT / Gamers Nexus on YT) but the downlo is that IF liquid cooling does save you the temperature, it's not a lot as a rule, and it's rather done nowadays for the look. The take away they both had was water can cool better, but for their day to day...

2070S is just fine for VR, depending on the VR kit you use obviously. But never had issues with anything on a standard 2070, on either my Occy Rift or my Vive pro. I know neither are the latest all singing all-dancing, but never had issues.

I use a similar technique for my server machine, so tyhe hypervisor has dedicated cores, and some tasks are locked away from some threads, as you can see top process only allowed on all cores of the second procesor, the services underneath allowed everything but HyperThreading and last one...
