My Asrock B450M Steel Legend that I ordered last Sunday just arrived today. (Shipping from West to East Malaysia usually takes that long :|)

Quick question (probably not worth its own thread), given all hardware and even the chipset is the same, can I just transfer my M.2 SSD containing my Win 10 installation to the new motherboard? And just in case it matters, the Win 10 installation is linked to my MS account.
Following up on this, Windows 10 ran 90% alright after I transplanted my M.2 SSD to the new motherboard, without reinstalling Windows. The two problems I had were
  1. My Win 10 is no longer activated.
  2. PC boots fully into Windows after hibernation, as if I shut down instead of hibernated it. Event Viewer says "Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xC0000411." I had to disable and then reenable hibernation, it then woke up from hibernation properly.
Just a heads up for anyone who wishes to swap motherboard and reuse their SSD without reinstalling Windows.

Are you using a full retail key or a (much cheaper) reseller/OEM key?

Only the retail keys are transferrable. You may be able to convince them that it was a replacement motherboard for the same computer; however that would probably not worth the effort compared to buying a new one.

Thought long and hard about it......but the T-rudders won out in the end. It was between the VKB, Virpil WarBRD, and cheaper TFRP and Saitek

Rudder pedals are the only piece of the puzzle missing from the DCS setup.

It was purchased in a brick-and-mortar store. No email receipt.
You could mail them, they should have your name/address in their system and they should able to see what you've bought in the past.

Ah, yes...not to go OT, here is my latest tech.buy: iPhone 13mini...

1676757881578.jpeg


Why?
Well, 2 things:
- mini is a way to go, as other phones are just too much...at least for us, GenXenialls.
- 14mini was not available in that memory capacity...so opted (no, actually needed) to go with this model. :cool:

Managed to find a 6gb RTX A2000 for 300aud ($200 usd), and I'm bloody stoked as. This thing is such a ripper of a little gpu so far, looking forward to building the tiniest ITX build I can for it. In the picture that's a 1060 below it and a 1080 above it.

Any case recommendations that really push that size boundary? I have a spare sfx psu but would be willing to buy an ultra tiny PSU if needed to make this work in a silly small case.

Literally one of my dream gpus right here and stoked to add it to the collection.

There are plenty of cases around the 5L mark, like mine (unfortunately no more L5s are being made). I did see an A2000 in the L5 awhile back, tight fit. Tempted but ain't got the need for it.

Only full height CPU cooler cases like the L5, Lazer3D HT5, and Velka 3RL actually need a low profile short card. All the ~5L sandwich-style cases can fit any full height short cards, A2000 is easy work. There's a billion of them on Ali and Taobao, you can probably find something you like on the SFF master list.

And no, you're not looking at SFX (that's like, half the size of the case), you're looking at either custom FlexATX implementations to suit the case, or variations of picoPSUs. I hear HDPlex has a new 250W GaN internal brick now, no picoPSU needed, it works like their 400W Hifi. Lazer3D has a couple new cases right now with SFX support, but like I said if you're looking to scratch the "just right" itch, only the likes of the CG7 and HT5 require low profile.

If you don't like Taobao, you could see if they're still selling the Densium. It's a good option if you don't need additional airflow.

Bought some cheap cables to use with some of my cans, they're more for ease of use/convenience more than anything else as the stock cables are thick, still and unwieldy. They're from top, L to R:
ENIGMAxoustics Dharma D1000, Sennheiser HD600, MD Sennheiser HD6XX
Grado GS1000i, AKG K812 Pro

Bough a pair of earpads for my Grado GS1000i, they're a tad smaller than those foam stock ones, but breathable and comfortable as stock one, I like 'em!

Following up on this, Windows 10 ran 90% alright after I transplanted my M.2 SSD to the new motherboard, without reinstalling Windows. The two problems I had were
  1. My Win 10 is no longer activated.
  2. PC boots fully into Windows after hibernation, as if I shut down instead of hibernated it. Event Viewer says "Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xC0000411." I had to disable and then reenable hibernation, it then woke up from hibernation properly.
Just a heads up for anyone who wishes to swap motherboard and reuse their SSD without reinstalling Windows.
Try the following:
The product key of the OS is stored electronically on the motherboard.

when you transfer, it is no longer taken into account. you must delete it there using a small program. it is reconciled with the MS server.
say; activate the old MB again and make the deletion there.
then the new one should accept the keys and continue to use them.

this thread doesn't like to appear in my alerts notification when new posts are submitted. I like keeping tabs on what people are buying and relevant material in support of these purchases. Every now and then, the alerts disappear. I find the thread on the forum homepage occasionally and just clicking on it gets the alerts up and running again and a few days later its gone again :banghead:

what gives?
Forum bug
If you're on page 100 and close the tab but someone else posted on page 105, you get no notifications until you come back and go to the final page. I've had issues with it for years, leaving tabs open to write long ass replies as i research things


The B550 ITX board i ordered was due to arrive today but hasnt, so hopefully tomorrow morning

Managed to find a 6gb RTX A2000 for 300aud ($200 usd), and I'm bloody stoked as. This thing is such a ripper of a little gpu so far, looking forward to building the tiniest ITX build I can for it. In the picture that's a 1060 below it and a 1080 above it.

Any case recommendations that really push that size boundary? I have a spare sfx psu but would be willing to buy an ultra tiny PSU if needed to make this work in a silly small case.

Literally one of my dream gpus right here and stoked to add it to the collection.

Maaan, that's like a dream GPU for myself: RTX A2000! I have always wanted to build the ultimate low profile rig! Enjoy it to the full.

Well, I have an engineering sample of QUANTAX mini itx., that will be up for sale. Not the smallest in the world, but you can have a fairly interesting story behind it.

Hi people!

Finally I got my hands on a Sapphire RX 6750XT NITRO+ for 575$ with all taxes included.

In the picture you can see my old Sapphire RX 5600XT Pulse compared with the new one.
