I'm not sure how much faster it is since I haven't benchmarked anything but I know when I tried EXPO 1, it blue screened. This thing is very finicky hence I can't do much tweaking to the DDR settings to get the boot times down. EXPO 2 does seem stable though.
Finished my build with a new Seasonic X-850. I'm really disappointed at how slow this thing takes to boot into Windows 11 and to wake up from sleep. My old i7 6700K on a Gen 3 NVME SSD was much faster. I would estimate 3x faster. And to wake up from sleep and into Windows was like 3 seconds...
That's the other side too. It's not that I'm broke (I could use the savings though), it's that it seems like a waste to throw it out. I could keep PSU in the PC and just have the PC as a backup which I did for my 2600K but I ended up throwing the whole unit away after a few years since no one...
Thanks guys. I'll take your advice and reuse it. It's just for personal use so nothing mission critical. Looking at the prices of Seasonic PSUs now, they are quite expensive but worth it.
I decided to build a new PC after seeing the AMD 7950x3D price come down last night to $550. I'm running a i7 6700K from 8 years ago and am thinking of reusing the PSU from it. It's a Seasonic X-1050 and has been running perfectly. Any opinions on whether it's a good idea to reuse it for my new...
I'm looking into setting up a 4 bay NAS and have a basic question. I'd like to set up a RAID using 2 identical 12TB drives I have but I would like to also add an 8TB drive I have lying around. Would it be possible to setup a RAID and also have other non-RAID drives in the NAS?
I received my replacement drive yesterday and installed it. The random read 4K benchmark is better than the previous drive. Performance seems better although I could be imagining it.

Thanks for the help guys. I decided to return it. I think it's defective. When I cloned the original SSD to the m.2 SSD it took about 9 minutes. When I cloned the m.2 SSD back to the original SSD it took an hour. It shouldn't have taken that long. It was only about 200GB of data. I looked at the...
I just installed this new m.2 SSD into my computer and it doesn't seem to be any faster than my previous SSD RAID setup. I ran some benchmarks and all of them seemed about where you'd expect the 960 Evo to be except for the Random 4K read. I'm only getting 40MB/s read while I get 257MB/s write...
I'll be upgrading my trusty 2600K rig this weekend to a 6700K rig. It's been going strong 24/7 for the last 4 years+. Giving it away to my sister who just moved. I'm pretty sure I could get a few more years out of it but I think I got my miles out of it. It will be fun passing along my PC...
The hdmi port actually works. It's just that it only works when the dvi port is connected to a live monitor. I'm going to get a dvi to hdmi adapter tonight to see if that works. This has gotten too frustrating for me. It's got to be a software problem but I'm willing to pay ten bucks to get it...
I haven't tried the HDMI from the MB. I figured I bought the 270 to use in the HTPC so I need to get the HDMI from the card to work.
I tried doing Control P in screen resolution mode and tried all of the settings but nothing worked. Strangely I accidentally pulled the DVI plug out in Windows...
So, I've been working on this for five hours now. My HDMI port only works if a monitor is plugged into the DVI. Would anyone know how to get the HDMI port to work alone? I've tried everything from going into the bios (nothing to activate) to properties to Catalyst Control Center but nothing...
