    Twin AIO Stealth Build

    Had my latest PC up and running for about a month now without issue, so thought I'd post it up. This is the first one I've built completely myself, as my previous PCs were laptops and a pre built. Had a lot of advice on here over the past few months with fixing issues on my previous desktop, so...

    thrustmaster ferrari 458 italia

    Hi, I'm not an official advisor here but I have something to try - Make sure the wheel is connected directly to a motherboard USB slot in the back of the PC, and not a case USB. Then go into 'Device manager' and make sure its enabled. For some strange reason, my old PC used to disable my...

    Excellent, I'm all set to update. I used the creation tool as per the link you gave me and made a bootable USB for clean installs on a new PC.

    Solved Upgrading from Windows 10 properly

    I missed the edit window, apologies for a double post. I forgot to ask, can i load up all the MSI drivers onto the same USB at once? or do i do them separately? I have a separate USB stick for the Windows 11 boot drive, and one for BIOS updates.

    Solved Choosing A Motherboard Advice Needed

    Apologies for that, I'm absolutely terrible at converting brain to text clearly, I don't know why it's so different than brain to speech for me, wasting your time was not the intention! I'm happy with the build now and massively appreciate the pointers and info given. I have saved some...

    Solved Choosing A Motherboard Advice Needed

    Ok so in regards to not using EXPO, this was because i know that the original ram i selected was over the CPU max recommended, so i planned to just set it to 5600 for compatibility. It was the only way i could seem to configure a lower CAS at that speed, as no native 5600 kits are lower than 40...

    Solved Choosing A Motherboard Advice Needed

    Thanks for that link to the RAM, I was purely looking at compatibility from the Motherboard list, I thought it would be more accurate than the individual RAM vendor, but I'm no expert and it shows. Isnt a CAS of 46 quite poor though? Again, this may show my lack of knowledge but the majority of...
