Hi,
wow what a babbling butthead

But at least he explains what goes where for beginners.
Call him what you will.
He helped me.

Thermaltakes videos are only about the RGB, and they don't even explain how to wire it. I thumbed down every video TT had on the subject

I just got done mounting it.
I got rid of their little circle of goo, and used thermal grizzly.

All I have left is mounting the Zotac, but I need to move/adjust the support mount, that comes with the In Win 303.
So that should be fun.

Almost done.
I'm reimaging the new 960EVO now, and then I'll see if the machine blows up when I boot into windows

If we see a mushroom cloud we know where it came from

I had to do a clean install

When I reimaged to the new m.2 for some reason it wouldn't boot into windows.

I tried everything I know.
I use repair boot, in Macrium, didn't work.
I tried it with Windows own boot repair, didn't work.
I tried re imaging with a different image, didn't work.
I tried the trick where you clean install and only re image your C: drive... didn't work.
So...
I had to do a clean install, get tons of drivers, and now I'm on reinstalling software....

And dammit! I can't find my key for Aida64, so I'm using CPUID HWMonitor for tempas and such, not so bad though, it's probablöy much lighter on resources when benching.

The worse part is I have also lost many of my system themes, and also will need to recalibrate both my monitors

Wow Cliff sorry for the problems. May I make a suggestion on PID Keys. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all my upgrades, parts, and systems. On another tab I keep all the PID keys. This spreadsheet is made available from anywhere so even if my PC completely crashes and I loose all my documents, that spreadsheet is around :)

Just a thought.

I make a .txt file or folder if key comes in another form and ZIP everything in one file with the program it belongs to.

If text files work for you, good on you.

As stated above I use Excel as my inventory sheet which includes all types of info including all my PIDs. That's me
