I posted last week or so venting over my PSU being DoA and having to send off for a replacement. Well it came, and it worked! The build and install went smoothly, this guide was a big help- essentially my build.

Also a big thanks to this lovely community here!

I did have a few last questions though

  • Now that its all installed- am I able to switch the memory profile to XMP in the bios (set to profile 1 for the install)

  • Is there a way to select my secondary HDD as the default save location for files, or is it just program by program?
