You would have to enable the integrated TPM though if the BIOS hasn't been updated in a while.
I already changed from MBR to GPT, enabled TPM 2.0 and secureboot. she might have to reactivate windows though. But the PC Health Tool shows you are ready for win 11.
Wait. You have an external drive with a 3.5 inch HDD inside? I didn't know that those are still available.
Looks like you will have to update your profile info.
You can get those in size up to about 20TB just because SSD's are more popular and cheaper than they used to be doesn't mean they stopped selling them(hard drives). Costs about $500 can probably $600 taxes in for a 20TB hard drive You don't want to know how many thousands of dollars an SSD that size costs. so I think there is still a market for mechanical storage.Yes, especially in Canada.

So, I was looking up the specs on that main board. And it says it has 1 RGB header. I assume it's a 4 pin 12v nonaddressable header? The spec sheet doesn't specify.
The case that KT is looking at (the RGB version) has a stand-alone RGB controller built in. You just push a button to select the lighting mode you want. But has a 3 pin 5v addressable connector to use with your mainboard.
I'm wondering though, what CPU cooler are you using?
I'm aware of the full specs of the I5 8400 CPU. 6 core, no hyperthreading and no factory overclock. It does have a boost clock though. But still, a stock Intel box cooler should be enough to get the job done. But just barely.Thanks Jeff.
As I though KT. The RGB header on your board is 12 volts. If you decide to deck out your system with RGB lighting, make sure it's 12 volt compliant. It will ruin RGB lights that are only 5 volt. The easiest way to tell the difference is look at the plug. 4 pins = 12 volt. 3 pins = 5 volt.

It could be required if she decided to hook her speakers into the back of the monitor for now because that jack should work fine (if it's enabled) unlike the front audio jack and it's not to hard for her to get at.
Also if she doesn't end up using the monitor's audio out then disabling the Nvidia audio driver might be done for less confusion.
Also, silly question but, is staring at a cold cathode fluorescent lighting for a long time bad on the eyes?

I understand that you are concerned about ease of access here. And that's fine. But keep in mind, that small barrel jack on the monitor, and the PC's front I/O are designed for "headphones". They can work with small speakers, sure. But won't provide much power to drive a set of speakers efficiently. Plus, you will lose some software control of them from the PC itself. Use that method if you must KT, but I would highly recommend using the green speaker jack directly from the sound card. That port is meant to drive speakers.
That awesome! I heard that steam had vastly improved this feature somewhat recently. Maybe I should give it another go?
I saw a post where you were talking about moving steam files from one drive to another. And how easy it was. I can't explain why I don't see it now.
Oh, I see. It was here on page 1. I'm sorry.

Ummm.... I uh .. have been noticing something annoying with my computer lately. The sound.

I assume that you're using the integrated audio on the mainboard? It could be that the port is damaged. And a sloppy USB port can't be fixed. It has to be replaced. So, I guess a USB dock it is, to the rescue.
I think the IO ports are not sticking thru the front face plate perfectly causing things to not plug in fully. It might be possible to fix but for now USB hub seems better.
Not the kind of game that I would normally get into. But I am glad that you are enjoying it on decent hardware.
And for the record, modern hardware is getting ever more power hungry. And with more power consumption, comes more heat. My current gaming rig makes for a wonderful space heater. lol. The coolant temp in my system regularly hit a toasty 104F or 40C on extended gaming sessions. And with two 360mm radiators expelling all that heat, it does warm my office during the winter months.
Ya funny thing is my case was an 5 fan case but I am down to just 2 fans now.... (Corrected my typo - KT)
I'm pretty sure the case didn't come with 8 fans, might be able to take up to 8 but came with 5 I believe. 1-200mm (side cover mounted) 4 120's (1 front, 1 back, 2 top.

Are you forgetting the speakers I gave you? You haven't even tried them yet.
Did they not give you any notice to the inspections?
