Hyper 212 is fine but go with Noctua/Arctic if you are overclocking to 5 Ghz. Both Noctua and Arctic aren't available in offline shops. Way too expensive online. Noctua would have been my first choice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR10 37 Report post Posted October 18, 2020 So I will be getting the 2070S in a couple of days and I will be upgrading my current setup(can be found in signature) to a 1440p build. So I will have to be upgrading the cpu+mobo+ram+psu+1440p monitor. As I won't be getting all of those in one stretch, how much of a bottleneck will my existing setup cause with the 2070S if I continue to game at 1080p for a while before I move on with the above purchases.

ZooZoo 508 Report post Posted October 22, 2020 Just dealing with something annoying on my PC. The windows explorer takes good 3-4 seconds to load whenever i press Window+E. Doesn't matter if its after a cold boot or when PC have been running for hours. My PC is no way a slouch, OS is installed on a NVME SSD and the specs are decent (Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM 3600MHZ, 2080 Ti). Any idea what might be causing it. Its not a big issue but annoying to see the delay. Even when it loads, the outer frame of the windows explorer loads and then after a second the drives show up inside.

Pagefile size and settings. do check that and right settings for ssd. see if your ssd / hdd health using crystal disk or similar software your antivirus / malware software can cause a delay. try turning it off and see if it delays do a full malware and virus scan. update your windows and any other drivers for your hardware.

Bird Bird Bird 1535 Report post Posted October 27, 2020 So this is the slot on my laptop - Acer Aspire 15 - 591G The attached SSD is M.2 SATA. I want to upgrade - how can I find out if this port supports NVMe ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Cool 6376 Report post Posted October 27, 2020 It depends on your motherboard. Almost all new ones support both SATA and PCIe but best you look up your board. Crucial official site has sort of system checkup and advisor tool to see what your board is/supports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crucial official site has sort of system checkup and advisor tool to see what your board is/supports. Tried it. It's not reading the M2 port, only the SATA port. The advisor tool does not contain the laptop model. The Acer community says it is compatible, but no idea if the India SKU is the same as US SKU.

Ram Dante 109 Report post Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I am in the process of building a PC. I wanted to get the Zen 3 (5500/5600), but looking at the processor prices in India, I'm pretty sure its going launch at a high price. Hence decided to get a B550 motherboard (for future upgrade to zen3 or 4) + a vfm Zen 2 for now. Can you please give me some recommendations on the processor, motherboard and Ram? I will be using my AMD RX560 GPU for now, and upgrade to a GTX 3060 or equivalent in a few months.

Plus, with 550M, you can upgrade to 56xx later when available at decent price. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
