SN770

Yes, you can do that. But usually, the SSD part of a (former) fusion drive is way too small for that to make sense (32 to 128GB). These sizes might be enough for the system to run but you have to remember the system needs space for cache and stuff. My suggestion: Would be better you buy an SSD like

The 7800X3D and 9070 XT is one of the best 1440p pairings available right now and the rest of the components support it well. On CL36 vs CL30, you're correct. The real world gaming difference is 1-3% at best, not worth paying a significant premium for. The Crucial Pro at DDR5-6000 CL36 is a sensible

look for WD Black SN770, Crucial P5 Plus, Samsung 980 (non pro), or Lexar NM790, all are TLC, and you should be able to find them around $200 in australia for 1tb

Depends on what you consider a smart purchase these days, with the ram/ssd pricing being through the roof, a solid build would orbit around a 3-in-1 style bundle for around $350-400ish. You could go the used route and save with used parts, ddr4. That said, a general guideline: you're limited to rx 5

You won't notice the difference in performance between the 990 Pro and T500 gaming SSDs (they're considered overkill). The NV2 will do the job, but its quality is average and it's a bit of a gamble. The most sensible options are mid-to-high-end SSDs like the WD SN770 P3 Plus or KC3000. The 990 Pro i

I agree with your P3 Plus is bad thing but rn he is getting an unknown 1TB ssd which is most probably worse than p3 plus Also I mentioned ob as it recently came in and for 8500 its worth imo with 3.5yr warranty remaining ofc if there is a better ssd i would have recommended that like SN5000 , SN770

had a similar issue with an inspiron where the ssd would overheat and disconnect. flipping it over to cool down is a big clue - the controller chip might be failing when hot. first run dell's built-in diagnostics (spam F12 at boot). if that passes, back up anything important asap. you could try a co

I ran into a similar issue after updating Windows 11 to 24H2 where I started getting random crashes. Turned out my Western Digital SSD (SN770) needed a firmware update. Last place I would ever think to look for an issue like that, but worth a shot to check if you have one of those SSDs

Newegg Rep Here Hey u/maineiscalling, Really glad you used Newegg to put this together and what a build it is! This is a seriously capable workstation and creative rig. For your AIO question, the previous commenters covered it well. The Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 is indeed a self contained AIO

i feel you dude, driver hell is the worst. had a similar lockup spiral on my old rig and it ended up being the ssd controller freaking out after a driver change. since you already tried all the software fixes and crystaldisk shows no faults but the drive still hits 100% randomly, swapping the drive
