Second m.2 drive in the G436 MSI Z490 Plus board?
I'm getting mixed information from google searches and the MSI website. I would like to add an additional storage device to my G436, and would prefer m.2 simply for the ease of install and less cables to run. Is adding a second one possible in the M2_2 slot? Obviously, there is a slot there so it must be possible, but I…

DisplayPort does not like W10
I have a Lenovo LI2821wA and a GeForce GTX 950. This worked well on my W7 machine, but after transferring to a W10 machine, the display is black on DisplayPort and normal on HDMI. This is a problem because I want to add a second display that has only HDMI. Likely this is some sort of EDID issue. How do I approach this?

ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3090
Just checking... NVIDIA decreases production to increase price. NVIDIA distributors and thugs deploy bots to buy up stock. Those people start scalping on eBay for 2x, 3x, 4x, and morex, $$$.

G436 MSI Mystic Light/Lian Li L-Connect/Dragon Center?
I moved my g436 into an 011 dynamic. 6 Unifans and a Galahad AIO later, RGB control is, well, weird to say the least.

After 2 month of trying to camp out online for a GPU at Best Buy and AMD, I've decided that I might have more luck traveling to a MC store. Denver is the closest one to me.
