Well, if anyone is still following this, or also has an older model Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, I finally got the answer from Cooler Master Europe, after never hearing anything back in over a ...

Thank you for the confirmation. In that case, I'll revert to my original reason for ordering the extra SSD, which was to replace the 10,000 rpm spinner HD that I use for photo editing. In addition ...

Thank you for that reply.   Here's my situation: I already use an SSD for my C drive:  (It's a 1TB Samsung EVO 970 Plus) I was thinking about adding a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro  PCIe 4.0 NVMe m.2 SSD in ...

Does it make sense to add an SSD to the M.2 slot to enhance functionality of the graphics card, as a possible alternative to upgrading a graphics card itself ? Someone suggested to me that this is ...

I am also preparing to upgrade to i7-12700K from i7-6700K.  Thanks to input from contributors here, I have gotten some helpful advice and some questions answered to get me going in the right ...

Good question.  I think it's enough because the max CFM rating is the same for both coolers.   It's no problem if I need a stronger cooler, but if what I have is sufficient, I'd prefer to make use ...

Information is not very forthcoming on the CoolerMaster website. They have 4 different kits available but I can't positively determine which one works for the older version Hyper 212 EVO. I do not ...

Thank you for that.  This is one reason I was looking at brand new releases in motherboards, but with enough reviews to give me some confidence that I was not choosing a lemon. The motherboard I'm ...

Yes, that is the exact RAM that I have. I figured it would likely not be listed on the QVL because it's so old. Thanks, I appreciate your help. Hopefully I can migrate the memory that I already ...

I mentioned it above in an earlier post: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144486?Item=N82E16813144486&RandomID=881617310413715020211204192229 My RAM was purchased in 2016 so it's dated, and I'm ...

The motherboard spec also says: Supports DDR4 Memory, up to 5200+(OC) MHz The motherboard in question is a new release, only available since November 4 of this year, compatible with LGA 1700 ...

The specs of the new motherboard I am considering say the following: Memory Standard: DDR4 1R 3200 / 2933 / 2666 / 2133 (by JEDEC & POR)* The  memory I currently have is: DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Will ...

The memory I'm currently using is G Skill Trident Z (2 X 16GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) CAS Latency 15 ... (whatever all of that that means)   Hopefully it is fast enough for a newer generation build. ...

Thank you, Robert... My current video card is EVGA Geforce GTX970. Perhaps I can just re-use it for now, until better options are available. I think it only has 4 GB memory. I'm assuming it would ...

Thanks for clarifying that.  I was not sure if they were interchangeable or not and I had not looked into that issue yet. Good to know.  This really confirms my suspicion that it would be best to ...

Thanks for your input.  Those are the motherboards I've been looking at... Thanks for the tip on the cooler and mounting kit. Probably true on the i5 and i7, but since I do not upgrade very often ...

Thanks, I'll check it out... I'm finding that out.... I'm currently using CF express memory cards (!DX Mk3), and I use a Dekin Devices card reader that plugs into USB C jack on my present ...

I'm contemplating upgrading my current PC from an old i7-6700K to one of the latest generation processors. But I'm technologically uninformed when it comes to what hardware is the best for a new ...
