It does make more sense its a cpu issue rather than memory. Problem is Asus's CS in my country is horrible, and i dont want to wait so long for a simple thing.. I went through the box and board itself and didnt find the bios version, but maybe i just missed it... Yes its tuf plus...

I thought about that but the qleds on the motherboard showed a dram issue, not a cpu issue. Thats why I figured the bios was ok with the cpu. And in this case as well - if i dont have a second am4 supported cpu to boot the machine - how could i check/upgrade the bios? (Note: couldn't find a...

Hi Recently bought a new Desktop PC. It's a new AMD Ryzen 5900X on an Asus Tuf Gaming X590-Plus. I've bought a single HyperX hx432c16fb3/32 - a 32GB Stick with the intention of upgrading to 64GB when I can get some more $$. After installing the Memory Stick, Screen is blank and the...

Whoops , Sorry - He offered me a new QVO, same Model (860 1TB) . He reached somehow the conclusion that specific disk was defective...

Update: In the end, the reseller decided that the disk was defective and offered a new Samsung EVO. He wasn't aware about the TurboWrite/Qlc issues even though I tried to explain him I declined his offer and got a refund :) Hope more people were aware of this and decline to purchase.. Maybe it...

It looks like RTX 3970 would be quite a catch. I live in Israel and We don't get the Founders edition here. From the known manufacturers we have MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA, PNY and Zotac. I know it might be hard to answer now because it's not released, but is one of them considered more reliable...

Hi, It's the end of the year and I decided to treat myself with a new workstation :) I think I'm pretty set on my specs (besides the Gpu) but I'd like advice from pros since I'm by no means a professional and would probably miss a thing or two. I mostly use the station for dev/programming/IT...

TW = Samsung's TurboWrite lol, It on the resellers lab right now. My guess is that he didn't know about this thing because he said that this degraded performances after 12GB is bad and he's going to check the disk for a while... I've had the drive for bout a month and a half now - Best case...

Maybe I was misunderstood - Before buying I always do a certain research - usually on sites like UserBench and reading a couple of reviews, as was done for this SSD. This entails the 10-30 minutes research you're referring.. But in this particular case you wouldn't encounter this issue unless...

For gaming needs yes, for developers no. I don't know what's the ratio between work related use of SSDs to gaming but in my soho I stop/resume 8GB VMs as a standard use. This document by Samsung states that evicting up the TW cache on 1TB model takes 55s on idle time, but it does not describe...

I wish I would have found this article before I bought my 860 QVO. I've spent 4 days investigating my SATA controllers , SATA cables, Mobo, drivers etc, failing to realize Samsung would put out such a horrible performance disk on the market. After some research, I found out that indeed such a...
