    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    It was the same update. There were 3. 2 silly small ones and a cumulative update. I'd been ignoring it for a while but that's it just been forced on me. Update finished the small ones first then moved onto the cumulative update. Both pics were taken during downloading the same cumulative update...

    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    I've no other issues in my system. I just had to run sfc /scannow and update my graphics drivers to fix the issue i had. It was mainly caused by a known bad nvidia driver that hammered the boot drive during gameplay logging thousands of false errors per second. It's all fixed and the drive is...

    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    And that's what the last guy said. OK. Fair enough. Guess I'm installing cyberpunk again and I'll show you the difference. Check back in the early hours or the morning and I'll show you what I mean and again, I challenge you to offer an alternative logical explanation for it. Again the only...

    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    I take it you don't pay attention to what your os is doing with your drive? Loads of constant tiny little writes happening all the time. Then there's all the downloads, documents folders, windows updates, apps and their updates, the page file, the hybernation file etc. I could go on forever...

    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    It depends on how often you uninstall/install games and how long you plan to keep them for. Most games nowadays are 100 gb + and if you're constantly swapping games out... can you see my point? Also an nvme used as a boot drive gets hammered by windows as well, not just games. And then there's...

    Which 4TB NVME Gen 4 for gaming

    If you can tolerate 2gb I'd highly advise the wd black sn750. Why? Because not only are they very reliable and fast but they have insane endurance. They have twice the endurance of a Samsung drive. The sn750 has a tbw rating of 2400 tb. In other words its good for 2400 terabytes of writes. The...

    Problem with my nvme and other things

    Tried to edit this in but it won't let me. Got it fixed. It was a combination of os file corruption and a dodgy nvidia driver. I ran sfc /scannow and it repaired files. Also a new nvidia driver is out. I updated from driver 545.84 to driver 545.92. That fully fixed it. The scannow partialy...

    Pc Posts but wont pass Windows loading screen

    Out of curiosity, what version of windows are you running? Can you install a spare drive and do a test install of windows on it? Also have you tried using recovery to get into command prompt then running sfc /scannow and chkdsk? That's where i would start. Your windows install seems to be...

    Just trying to figure out something about this rtx 4070 i have

    This is what gpu-z shows with my card... keep reading... And this is what cpu-z shows me... You can see the difference in the report about the nm process or "technology" used. My card shows only gpu-zz as 5nm but everything else shows it as 4nm as i have shown. However my brothers asus...

    Trying to figure out if this is going to work or not

    Where is said it was 220 watt tdp is based on reviews. If you go onto the arctic website for the cooler, it doesn't show tdp. So i had to read loads of reviews for it to get an answer. Most rank it as 210/220 tdp. Gamers nexus rank the esports duo as 56c above ambiant. Also gamers nexus and the...

    About overclocking

    Thanks for the tip. Did just that. To undervolt it, i dropped the core down to -300. Then i went into the voltage curve and pulled the 950mv up to 2000mhz. So now my gpu runs at a constant 2000mhz under load. It's stable. I tested it using cyberpunk and timespy. Drove around night city in...
