Due to reasons, I wanna make a pc build out of Ali Express parts, here is the link
Gpu Rx580 8Gb
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNIv04u
89 cad
Cpu motherboard and ram

E5 2650 V4 CPU LGA 2011-3 Processor 16GB DDR4 RAM Memory N
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtIdDhI

Powrsupply-500W

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOiqxCc

And then
Some 10 dollar cpu collet and 20 dollar 500gb hds
Thoughts/ improvements?

#

Total 243 cad

quick wave Nov 27, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

i would get 2680v4

#

#

you can reasonably expect like 1080ti level gpu to work well on it

flint marten Nov 27, 2023, 7:20 AM

slim pewter Nov 28, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

flint marten Nov 28, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

and is a 500w psu enough

languid flint Nov 28, 2023, 7:49 AM

#

flint marten and is a 500w psu enough

You should be fine

#

Can’t recommend it, but at the same time it’s a jank xeon aliexpress build.

quick wave Nov 28, 2023, 11:29 AM

#

i am not going to bother with you anymore
don't @ me when shitboard you buy doesn't work

#

also you can reflash bios on gpu to rx580 proroper bios and it should work

#

also you got fucking laptop ram

#

ugh

#

you need ecc ddr4 for xeons

#

i am telling you to get a more expensive kit that will have everything proper and you just keep fucking it up

#

also you can't get away with this shitcooler

#

get snowman or whatever it is called on ali

#

or locally

#

like ak620

#

i don't remember if it supports lga 2011-3

#

i am tired of helping you because you don't listen to me at all

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

bro due to reginal differences the mother boards u are choosing are like 200 300 cad

#

while the ones im seeing are like 50 60 70 cad

#

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005136626894.html

#

@quick wave

#

is this fine?

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

huh.
better but i would go with 4 sticks as it is quad channel socket
and mobo much better

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

yes i see the same

#

also you can get just mobo + cpu
and order ecc ddr4 separately

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

yes thats smart

#

mobo is 184 and plus cpu is 188

#

so ram is like 30 cad

#

ill buy ram seperate

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

they overprice ram massively

#

get like
8gb x 4
or
16gb x 2

#

again preferably have 4 channels used up

#

as xeons are 4 channel cpus

#

also you found snowman cooler i was talking about?

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

2gbx4

#

🤣

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

no no
don't waste on it

#

get like 8gb x 2

#

also..
mind asking why you going with xeons?

#

like enthusiast stuff?

#

or just for keks

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

im broke

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:27 AM

#

wait what is your budget?

#

i forgot to ask

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

like 250 (cad) max

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:29 AM

#

yeah..
i mean you can get old optiolex with xeon in it for what like 100 cad if lucky on eBay

#

oh did stuff change?

#

i am as i think it is obvious from my xeon knowledge and well..
my profile
is from russia

flint marten Nov 29, 2023, 4:32 AM

#

naw i want ali express build 😎

#

the total will come to around 250 which is enough

quick wave Nov 29, 2023, 4:33 AM

#

#
