    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...

    Solved Choosing A Motherboard Advice Needed

    Thanks for the reply, the chosen CPU is definitely the one I will be using. In regards to the RAM, I had no intention of using EXPO or XMP which Is why I thought the selected kit would be ok. There are no 64GB 5600MT/s kits at all on the QVL list for this Motherboard. I looked at other...

    Solved Games Minimizing to Desktop or Crashing

    Hmm, that is odd. Maybe this is an error on my part, I grabbed the figure from task manager just after booting up the PC. Either way, final update time. I upped the voltage as you suggested to 1.35v and had no issues on benchmarks or gaming at 3000, same again at 3200MHz. All stable, no issues...

    Solved Games Minimizing to Desktop or Crashing

    Excellent that's good news, also i did game twice recently. 1. On the morning that I tested the 2 sticks, i played for around 30 mins with no issues, however that's not long enough to provoke a crash usually, i can confirm though that the game didn't minimise at 7.29 am as it used to. 2. I...
