Unfortunately I didn't bother to check if my motherboard sockets would accommodate such a new arrival, and apparently the answer is, no they don't.


What board do you have, and how many other drives? My board supports four m.2's IIRC, but several of them are hidden away.

m.2 to PCI-E, Sata or even USB (3.0 / 3.1 / type C are very fast - actually faster than SATA at times) seems to be a thing - but i have no experience with them.

Cheers for getting back. I currently have one drive installed, the NVME drive that came with the system and genuinely coincidentally the exact same drive spec I just bought. I had pondered in bringing over my old drives, but my old boot SSD is pretty damn small and my old HDD well, I love the fact my current system makes no noise whatsoever.

I haven't bothered to add all components but this should be visible, I haven't added everything to that build list bar the more pertinent stuff.

It's a prebuilt and a rather neat one at that, very clean and tidy but it's a little tucked away with everything kind of hiding in nooks and crannies. As opposed to my previous home-built rig. Much less pretty inside but I could take off the side panel and inspect all the ports etc on the MOBO very easily

As far as I can tell I done goofed and don't have the ports, but perhaps I'm wrong. Worst case via adaptor isn't hitting NVME speeds but the worst bottleneck is still pretty fucking fast, be it via PCI-E or USB-C especially for a terrabyte drive I got for essentially 40 quid.

I'd probably like to upgrade the MOBO anyway, at some future juncture so to keep things in a sub-optimal sense for a while and make proper use later.

Indeed only one port on there. The chipset that you're on doesn't have as much I/O as x570, but boards still often have a second slot which shares lanes with pci-e or sata. Unfortunately since it's *also* an matx board it doesn't have that.

Hi guys, got a pretty simple question around my mind lately.

I've got a Samsung 850 EVO 250Go on my computer. It's 6 yo now, still working nicely but I find 250Go to be a little low storage room for today's games.
I do plan on buying a new 870 EVO 1To to solve this problem.

I mostly play online games, multiplayer or not, some of them requiring good comp speed to have optimal fun : SC:R, SC2, CS GO, PoE.

I'm using Win7 Pro, that I dont really plan on upgrading because i much rather prefer 7 over 10. I got the licence through an offer that you've got when you're a student in France, you get 2 (5? can't remember, been too long) Win licence for free. I've used my last to get 7 Pro on this SSD and since I really enjoy 7 better than 10, i'd really like to keep this one, though I can't remember (nor find) if my licence is OEM bound or not.

Now, to my questions :
1. If I clone my disk from 250Go SSD to 1To SSD, do I risk to lose the use of my OS ?
2. Would it make a difference (like noticeable one considering the games I play) if I just were to let my OS on the 250Go SSD and just install my games on the 1To one ?

Thanks for the answers you guys can provide

Option 2 is going to be simpler, without giving up any noticable performance. The 870 is a little faster, which is good in the case of gaming: you'll spend more time waiting on games to load than on the OS. Steam and Battle.net both have options to change the default install directory, so moving your game installs is comically simple.

Option 1 would probably take a specialized partition-copying tool, and I can't say I'm 100% certain that the license would stay. Better to take the simpler and safer solution here.

So, apparently my main Monitor just died.

It turns off immediately. If i unplug the power, it turns on, shows the screen image for one flash, and then powers down completely. (If there is a simple fix for this, i would also be happy about an idea. It is not related to my PC, which works with the same setup on another monitor.) With a different Monitor PSU, it just flickers hardcore.

However, i am also considering buying a new Monitor, but i have no clue what is important nowadays.

My system is currently not top of the line (i7-2600K, R9 390, 16Gb Ram), but i am considering updating this in the next year or so to something more current.

I am (or was ) currently running a 1920:1080 60 HzSamsung 27 inch Syncmaster P2770). I am considering getting something slightly bigger, and i definitively want an upgrade both in resolution and refresh rate.

What is stuff i might want to look for? Resolution, Size, Refresh rate and Reaction time are things which i am aware of.

Also, any good recommendations would be very welcome.

Rtings and hwunboxed have a shortlist of good gaming monitors in various price brackets. I would recommend a 2560x1440 144-175hz monitor as an upgrade. 4k is still a ways away from being generally good all-purpose in my opinion.

Anything is going to be a gigantic upgrade over what you had.

Sounds sorta like a bad capacitor. If you don't mind taking apart the monitor, have a soldering iron and can get capacitors easily it'll cost you about $1 and an hour (tops) of your time.

Hm, i will take a look at that. I have ordered a new Monitor now (Odyssey G7) for a massive upgrade, which was about time.

But that means i can try fixing the old one without any risk, because at worst the thing is already broken. So i will definitively do that.

Hm, capacitors don't look broken, but i guess i might as well exchange them now that i opened the monitor up. Now i got to figure out where i can get some.

In case someone is interested:

After paying 0.32€ and travelling for an hour, I replaced the capacitors, but that did not solve the problem. The situation is exactly the same as before.

I still think it was a worthwile experience, i feel as if i understand more now. I am pretty confident that i can replace capacitors in a monitor, even if that wasn't the problem with that one.

Bummer about it not being a fix but glad it was still worthwhile.

Yeah, sadly i don't know enough to be able to determine anything that could potentially be the case, and the internet also only tells me "capacitor".

My left and right CTRL key are physically OK, giving signal on keyboard tests but not working properly on CTRL + other keys functions, what could be causing this?

I’ve an old desktop I’m rather fond of, currently rather unloved

I’d like to dick around with networking a bit and have more idea what I’m doing in general, I’d quite like to repurpose it as a dedicated NAS device

Is this particularly complicated to do, and what resources, or pathways would you recommend?

I’ve done some cursory googling but there’s a ton of differing suggestions there, and I trust what you folks tend to recommend.

Alternatively, if you had an alternative suggestions on what to do with a perfectly serviceable, but 10 year old rig I’d be interested to hear that too

Your best option is probably to use an OS designed to function as a NAS. I personally use FreeNAS, which is based off of FreeBSD, which is a UNIX-like OS. It's designed to work headless and it hosts a website that can handle doing all of the setup and config (though initially you'll need to use the machine directly). There are also some other popular that are similar.

The main caveat with a setup like this is that your need for RAM scales with the amount of storage space. As I recall it's about 1 GB RAM per 1 TB usable space, but things vary on your actual use-case. If you're just storing data on it to access elsewhere it won't use as much as something crunching for deduplication. You can also host software on the NAS like Plex which will eat up some amount of CPU and RAM.

I wouldn't say it's particularly complex to set it up for basic use since the installer handles that part pretty well, but it gets very dense once you start trying to learn how to do more things (e.g. use jails).

I reformatted an old computer. After reinstalling Windows, the computer won't recognize my mice. I tried a wired USB mouse and a wireless USB mouse and neither work. I also tried them in all the different USB ports. I would try a PS2 mouse but I do not have any handy. I also tried some Google suggestions about enabling and disabling the USB ports but nothing has worked thus far. Any suggestions?

Certain motherboards and versions of windows just don't work like this unless you modify the windows install package to include a USB driver or somehow install one afterwards. E.g. 8'th gen+ Intel motherboards don't have a driver compatible with Windows 7.
