Windows 10 likely to be incompatible?

No raid mode or ahci in that bios. Very basic bios. Did read about software ahci, but think that was vapourware as I could not find it

NVIDIA chipset not the best.

Tried it out today.


Seemed to go ok. I couldn't find anything 'not' working. Connected to the internet without installing any drivers. It installed Nvidia drivers for me anyway.



It looks like it'll take some getting used to, finding where things are and tweaking settings (and finding the settings to tweak) to get it how i want it but it doesn't appear to be horrendous like Windows 8 was.

No, not for me i'm afraid.


Sure i'll remap a car but overclocking a PC is something i've never really wanted to do. I'm happy for it to go at the speed it does. I don't want to risk anything going bang.

The only thing that can go "bang" in a computer is the power supply, and even then it's not a "bang" as such, it just... stinks the place out for a while, particularly if it was on at the time

You overclocking the processor doesn't result in a major increase in power usage - a slight increase but nothing significant.

If you were running your computers close to the maximum power output and it was so finely balanced then yes it would overload, but that would be a stupid thing to do anyway, run a computer with a power supply that is only just big enough.

Anything else that can go in a computer tends to either just stop working after a reboot or stinks of burning. Nothing else can go bang.

Well i didn't actually mean 'bang' as in the noise. I meant going kaput.


But yes, i have had a PSU go actual bang and it didn't 'just stink' it actually went bang. Like a real bang, as in make you jump kind of bang, as in i turned the PC on (or tried to) and it went bang ... and then it was dead.

Depends what goes in the unit. Sometimes it stinks, sometimes it doesn't. But when it packs up you know about it
