  • Built in 2019, with some upgrades here and there:

    MOBO: Asus X570-E Gaming WiFi CPU: RYZEN 5800X3d GPU: Radeon 6700XT OS Drive: 2 TB WD NVME Power Supply: Corsair 1000W

    Looking at your list I’d consider a couple of things:

    1. do some research on the Motherboard. I have a vague recollection of ASRock having problems lately. Not sure what models or anything.

    2. consider a fully modular power supply if you’re at all concerned about clutter inside your case. You might also look up the recommended PSU wattage for that GPU. I don’t know much about the Lisuan specifically, but a lot of them recommend at least 750W.













  • I cloned my Windows 10 install from one SSD to a bigger one. I left both drives in, told the BIOS to boot from the new one, and everything worked fine…until I wiped the old one. The next time I restarted my PC it wouldn’t boot anymore. Windows must’ve been looking for something on that drive that wasn’t there anymore. Luckily I had made a backup, so I popped in a USB with Windows 10, went into recovery mode, and told it to restore from backup. After that everything works fine again, even with the old drive being empty.

    Looking back on it I may have been able to fix it with a bootrec.exe/fixmbr command, but it didn’t occur to me at the time.
