Go make your own video. Look at time stamps. Tiktok has ruined the internet.

yo! you should be good. From what I'm reading pcie is backwards compatible, so even if for some reason the drive didn't work at full speed it would would at gen3 speeds. As long as the form is the same you should be good. I have a 980 in mine so a 990 should work. Good luck.

Should be fine! your only limitation on size is the bios/windows

sup

I got u. Check description for p/n

Sounds like you need two seven segment displays. I'm not sure about the bcd part but as long as you fill out the logic for the left 2 seven segment displays from 0-24 and the right two seven segments from 0-60 it should work. Check description for the decoder file i made for the seven segment display. I just added the excel and txt file show in the video. Hope it helps!

You can do either or. The computer doesn't care where or when you expand. 😊

So my guess is that you need to up the voltage if it was seated properly but.. if you aren't familiar with overclocking you might just leave it alone. Try to find a forum post on your cpu/ram and see if they have suggestions for ram. It might only need another 0.05V to be stable at overclock.

Dang that sucks. I would double check ram is seated properly. Turn pc off (full shutdown). Flip power switch off and let it sit for a few mins. Not sure if thos is desktop or laptop? Either way make sure ram is seated properly first. If that doesnt help try turning off xmp or expo. If that doesnt help start removing sticks when you test. If you have 4 now test 2, make sure you know which slots you motherboard wants for just 2. If same result try 1 at a time in the right slot. Its know that individual sticks can pass on their own but fail when in a group. If you can figure out which stick is causing issues see if you can rma the stick(s). Hope this helps.

Of course! hope it helps. Take your time. Make sure its powered down completely. If you want to be super cautious unplug the ribbon cable for battery, just remember to plug back in if you do. As long as you are careful not to touch any metal connections and possibly use wrist strap you should be fine. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yea, if you are going to swap your main boot drive you will need to clone it FIRST. Samsung magician has a tool for this! You can test if the cloning works by removing the main drive AFTER cloning. You should be able to just swap the boot priority list with both still installed, you would place the cloned drive at the top and see if it boots up like normal. If it was me at that point i would check again that it boots into the cloned drive by removing the old one then booting into the new drive. If that works you can then format the old main drive and use it as a secondary drive. I haven't used it myself but I am sure it works. Download Samsung magician and use the "data migration" tool. It's under data management on the left. I doubt you will notice much difference between the pre-installed ssd and the samsung (or other brand). The differences are pretty minimal for most applications. I have played Resident Evil 4 remake and It ran just fine on the main drive. Either way hope this helps!

o no!! i would turn off pc and unplug short out the power button (press power and hold a few seconds) then double check that your ram is seated properly. If you have any overclocking settings (intel xmp, or amd expo) try disabling them as well.

@@TritonTv69420 It didn't even boot up after that. Thought that I bricked my motherboard. Removed CMOS and it was fine. But the problems returned when I tried to enable XMP / EXPO. I guess my Asrock B650m HDV Motherboard doesn't support 6000Mhz, although it should. I had problems with this new build every day for the last week. Now my RAM is at 4800 speed and 0 issues. Almost bought a new PSU, because my PC kept randomly rebooting because of Kernel power 41.

Double check you have the most up to date firmware for your bios. I have read of some motherboards that don't support full speed gddr5 out of the box. You might fond a forum post on what speeds that motherboard supports.

@@TritonTv69420 Thank you for advice.

Update. I updated to the latest BIOS 3.09, changed to XMP and it doesn't post again. 4800 speed it is....

Haha. I wish i kept it! That was 2 places ago. It was there when i got there. It was super cool

😔

I would start with this over night. Prime 95 has some good tests but they are cpu+ram tests, weighted towards cpu. You could try prime 95's individual tests as a quickie but that's inside the OS. Then move to the blended ones and whatnot. On my "how i got my i7 7700k overclocked @5.0ghz" video i talk about my testing in there. Cpuid has some tests too i believe.

@@TritonTv69420 Was hoping to stick with bootable media. The system is a game server running Proxmox with barebones linux VMs. Was hoping for something that I could just boot up on USB to quickly test the memory to make sure it's stable and not keep the server offline for too long.

O that's cool. Yea i guess the other option is just see if it works haha. I would need to review my testing stuff i dont even have that pc hooked up right now. The small fft's i believe on prime 95 would tell you pretty quick if you had errors. But that would mostly be cpu. If it passed 30 mins of that its probably pretty stable.

That should be totally fine! Hope the video helps.

@@TritonTv69420 my laptop can't turn on sir

o crap did you remove your main drive? did you change the boot priority list?

@@TritonTv69420 maybe cable connection problem sir

double check it's all plugged in properly!!!

Nice. Super fast!

Was it plugged in?

@@TritonTv69420 yes

Have you changed any power settings in bios?

Glad i could help!

Hmm. I would double check you are following the steps correctly first. Make sure you select a usb device that isnt active (not reading or writing data) as well as that it has the proper amount of space. Make sure the usb is connected securely. If none of that works perhaps try re-downloading and starting from the first steps.

I don't think adding drives would void your warranty. Glad the video could help!

I wonder if you have a power issue. Is your ram over clocked?

I ran Memtest and it showed no errors

I didn't touch the bios sitting since I bought my pc a long time ago

Been trying to figure out what happened to my large archiveed files for a week with no luck

@@TritonTv69420 i just removed on of my rams ,i get less errors when extracting now

Hello. yea just take your time. Make sure the pc is shut down completely and double check after every step. Often when i use youtube to help do tech stuff i have it on my phone so i can pause do 1 step then play and do the next. Good luck and feel free to ask questions!

​​@@TritonTv69420I'm the same way when watching a tutorial of how to upgrade something 😊

Hello. The motherboard on the acer nitro 5 has spots for 2 RAM sticks, 2 m.2 SSD's and 1 2.5" SATA storage device (can be HDD or SSD). If all you want to do is add the 4TB m.2 SSD then no need to clone and whatnot. If you remove your main boot drive yes you will want to back it up or clone it to another drive. If you really want to do that I suggest adding the second one that you want as your new main drive, then cloning it via samsung magician (called data migration) or similar software with a built in tool to actually clone the drive. Otherwise I feel like the best way to do that is create the windows install media (USB works fine) then get your second drive setup as a boot drive. Make sure it works to boot in to, then move all the files from the old boot drive to the new one. Then you can remove the smaller original one and replace with a larger one. Having a third USB drive is not a bad idea for something like that. You can move games and whatnot to that one then move over as needed. Hope this helps and good luck!

@@TritonTv69420 Sorry for the late reply but did you happen to have the links for where you ordered the M2 SSD and the SATA SSD? I just realized my Acer Nitro 5 is the AN515-55 as well which is why I ask

O you can get those anywhere. Here is a micro center link for both. Search around for best price! Also youtube doesn't show notifications for replies to comments so i have to scroll down the comments section on youtube studio to find these. Glad i found your comment.

Did you format it and everything?

Maybe try again and if that doesn't work use windows to reformat

@@TritonTv69420 Windows cannot Format the 2 folders into 1 folder. I have Formatted my stick in Linux itself and i had later only 1 Folder on my stick.

Brand doesn't matter but the length does. I think its standard 2280. Size of the storage shouldn't matter as well. Some people here have claimed there is a limit. I will look back at pictures. Desktop m.2 setups have multiple spots tp screw in different length ones. I believe there are two options. 2280 should be safe though.

@TritonTv69420 Thank you very much

of course hopefully it all works out. Make sure to format new drive/s and update firmware. If you get samsung drives download samsung magician.

Glad you liked it. Scuba diving is one of the main reason i started the channel. Haven't been in years 😔.

yes there are only 2 dimm slots for RAM. Make sure it's the right form factor!

Chill out. When i make videos like this i have already downloaded stuff. A lot of these servers have time delays to release the download. Try it yourself and take a chill pill. Only thing i can think of is you might not be in the US. If so try a VPN and change location. Also, you will find you will get a lot further in life asking for help instead of blowing up. Reset your router, restart your pc, and other things. Try a few things before crying

There are no such thing as chills pills dude. You would be wrong. I am in the states and I tries that site over a month ago before watching this video. Nothing popped up then either. Crap like this wastes people's time.

first of all gprivate.com/6c6er second just go here. www.emulator-zone.com/ or here retroemulators.com/ You gotta chill. Then subscribe. 🤣😁😂🤣 Everyone can't monitor every link they ever post. If you knew anything about roms and emulators you would know every year certain ones get harder and harder to find. Servers get shut down, companies crack down more. Nintendo is one of the worst companies out there for this kind of stuff.

Nice glad to have helped!

I doubt this would damage your ram. A stable system, which is part of what this is testing, should be able to run at the limit everyday all day. Check out my video on overclocking my i7 7700k if this stuff interests you. 🤓

Hey that is an excellent question! So in this instance I was simply adding a drive, so no cloning or new install needed. However, If i wanted to faster speeds of the samsung drive, I could have cloned the main boot drive to the faster drive (or fresh install). Then formatted the old drive to just be another extra storage device. Anytime you just add a drive AND as long as you don't reformat it, erasing the multiple partitions that are created during a fresh install, no extra steps needed. It's just plug new drive in and format it (tells windows or other OS, hey here is some free storage space, us it bro) then you can start using the new drive. When installing windows it typically makes 3 or 4 partitions on that drive. Other drives that aren't your boot drive typically only have 1 partition. Thanks for watching and hope this helps your understanding.

hello. My first suggestion would be to read their documentation on their website. They made the algorithms and are way smarter when it comes to troubleshooting RAM issues. My TritonTv email is on my about page. 😀 right underneath the subscribe link 🤣🤣

@TritonTv69420 can u send ur email here

hmmm. Follow the writing directions carefully. I would keep the imaging program on a different drive. If your usb is drive k lets say, put the imaging file on a different drive. When it images it it does format and rewrite it. If it keeps giving you that error at least try to boot into bios and run the test. When is it giving you this error? right off the bat when you are still inside the imaging program? Or after when you try to click on the drive? Don't worry about being able to use the drive for anything else other than memtest after you image it. You will reclaim the space by formatting it later on in video. Hope this helps.

@TritonTv69420 It's all good, I was looking at the wrong USB option in the side bar of files explorer. Your instructions were grand and clear, ran the tests, and my RAM has a clean bill of health.

nice

you are most welcome yo
