hearty pasture Jan 24, 2021, 8:27 AM

#

chrome iris What’s your CPU + GPU? A Corsair CX550 would be great for your system

Xeon e3-1280 v3 and RX 570/580, the gpu not confirm yet but its either one of the 2

#

What about cooler master elite V3 P600?

chrome iris Jan 24, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

@hearty pasture that power supply isn’t a good model.
The Corsair CX450 is cheap right now. It’s a good model, but be aware it only has one 6+2 pin GPU connector.
That’s probably the best value power supply on the lower end. You can get an EVGA 450/500 BR for ~$5-10 more, but they’re a significant step down in quality. They do have 2 6+2 pin connectors though.

A CX450 would be able to power an RX 580, 570, GTX 970, and similar well, as long as it doesn’t use 2 GPU connectors

Herro!

#

Can anyone answer a question about a pre-built PC I am looking at purchasing?

#

I want to know if I can easily add a 3.5" HDD to this case. There is no specific information on the case so I want to make sure before I order it.

@scenic lance the case used in that build is the Rosewill S500, and that case has 3x 3.5” drive bays and 7 2.5” drive bays, so, you can definitely fit a 3.5” HDD in there

Good luck with your upgrade!

750W is fine also

If it's one of those

yeh i was looking at 850w, probs should just get 750 to save some money

didnt expect to have to spend more anyways

I'll bet

I didn't either until I checked my PSU voltage with my GPU under load

Another $100 lol

they are like $150 here

pretty much just the conversion

Yea?

opal night Jan 28, 2021, 5:47 AM

I mean, 16 gauge is better

#

Wires are thicker

#

carry more current

#

Typically the larger the PSU wattage the thicker the wires

#

16 is better than 18?

opal night Jan 28, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

Yes

#

Thicker wire

#

WIth wire gauge, the smaller the number the bigger the wire

Gigabyte GP-P750GM 750 W Review - With an Explosive Attitude

The Gigabyte GP-P750GM makes lots of promises, but fails to deliver. Its platform features a modern design, but the parts used are of mediocre to low quality, and to make matters worse, the protection features are not working correctly.

Not really, no. That's a custom board designed specifically for that case. It has a 90 degree right angle PCI-E connector and other custom features that won't let it go in another case.

opal night Jan 28, 2021, 3:15 PM

10700/2060 is the best you can do. External power supply plus custom BIOS

Can you upgrade the graphics card and processor?

opal night Jan 28, 2021, 3:18 PM

Only to a 10700 CPU and a 2060 GPU. Might need to upgrade the power supply also depending on which one you have.

#

Even then it has to be a TINY 2060 like this

unless you want to custom make your own case.....it's a custom motherboard designed specifically for that case. Not impossible but I doubt you're going to find a case to buy and just pop it in.

has a right angle PCI-E connector

But I looked it up before and for example windex has a lot of alcohol and i had read alcohol can harm/wear tempered glass

chrome iris Jan 28, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

To clean tempered glass, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray a little on a lint-free cloth and gently rub the glass clean. Use another clean, lint-free cloth to buff the tempered glass surface dry. You can also use a solution of lukewarm water and mild dish soap to clean the glass. Remember to rinse the soapy residue off the glass if you use dish soap.

If so, then why don't we all spend 400$ on a AX1600i? It's Corsair, it's good.

edgy tiger Jan 31, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

Well I didn’t say just any corsair

#

There are a lot of corsair models and honestly most are outstanding

elfin trout Jan 31, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

If I can get the same quality in a cheaper PSU, I'd go for the cheaper psu to have more money for the rest of the system

#

Hell, now that I think about it, core reactor might actually have better warranty than say a RM

edgy tiger Jan 31, 2021, 4:34 PM

edgy tiger Jan 31, 2021, 4:36 PM

Well its 150$ over in freedom dollars

#

And the supernova as about 120

elfin trout Jan 31, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

Yes, but this ain't about freedom dollars

#

If it's freedom dollars, get a Phanteks amp for 110$

#

Or a Revolution d.f. 850w for 120$

#

And there's no reason to get a g3 750w when those exist with correctly set protections

edgy tiger Jan 31, 2021, 4:38 PM

a cdn EVGA 750bq is 20$ less

Anyone have a good alternative for the NZXT H1? My prebuilt got cancelled today after about a week in pending status. Also, don't really want to burn down my house...

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 2:57 AM

#

@sick comet what are you looking for, just a prebuilt, or does it have to be small form factor?

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

The original plan was to get the H1, replace the mobo with a MSI z490I Unify, CPU with the 10900K, RAM with 64GB of C.Skill Trident Z and m.2 SSD with a 2TB samsung 970 EVO

#

Then take the Original 990k, GigaByte z390I Aorus, RAM, and m.2 SSD and put it in the Node 202 as a gaming PC for my wife that she could use on the TV (She's a pretty casual gamer)

#

(Those original parts coming from the H1 prebuilt)

#

I'd like for it to be a SFF since I'm coming from a PC I built 9 years ago that's in a huge case

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

Hm okay

#

hm h1 was lower specs than I thought lel

teal flare Feb 2, 2021, 3:22 AM

doesn't the h1 have a fire issue?

like its uncommon but it has happened

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:22 AM

#

yeah, the PCIe riser can short out

teal flare Feb 2, 2021, 3:22 AM

#

if just reusing parts it should be fine

sand atlas Feb 2, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

Gamers Nexus has been covering that, demanding they recall the risers

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

this is pretty good value in terms of prebuilts for the specs
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali469/p/N82E16883360054

#

but not sff

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

Yeah, that's about what I was looking at price-wise for the H1. Looks like getting prebuilts are the only way to get a GPU without making yourself crazy hitting F5 when stock gets released...

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

Sadly

#

But ABS does offer fairly good value relative to other prebuilts for getting GPUs

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

Still seems so wasteful, the hope was another prebuilt mini-ITX build that I could part out and use all the parts in the wife's build

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

I mean, iirc origin had some, but pretty damn overpriced, is ATX just not an option?

sand atlas Feb 2, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

Origin is always overpriced, but they have great support

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:31 AM

#

Like their stock config for their SFX PC, 10400+3060ti, costs ~2000$, when ABS offers that same config, except ATX, for 1250$

#

@sick comet it would also be an option to just strip everything from smth like this, extract the GPU for your build, and put the rest in your wife's build, maybe needing a new motherboard, but not that wasteful imo, could always resell case

#

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali462/p/N82E16883360047

sand atlas Feb 2, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

Best thing about Origin is they can ship in a wooden crate, nice novelty

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

tryna think if anyone else offers itx prebuilts

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:34 AM

#

Yeah, looking at Origin now

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:34 AM

#

I mean, there's always getting a NUC xDDD

sand atlas Feb 2, 2021, 3:36 AM

#

It'd be kinda fun gaming on a fanless system xD

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:36 AM

#

I think they offered a 2060 version

#

tbh, @sick comet , best option in general would still probably be trying to get a card yourself and building yourself, but I'll try to update you if I find any other ITX prebuilts.

Side note, I like the NR200p as an ITX case, it's a nice lil case that might be worth looking at.

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:38 AM

#

THanks, looking a t cyberpowerpc's EVO mini right now

#

And I'll check out the NR200 too

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:38 AM

#

Yea, saw that, the case looks a bit sus tho

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:39 AM

#

but if I'm not using that case, might be worth it

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:39 AM

#

dunno, it has a hot box look imo

#

other than that, maybe worth it.

#

@sick comet alright, 2 more companies to look at, Maingear and Omen, Maingear pricing don't look so good, but quality should be solid

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

sweet, choices are always good

#

omen is hp, riught?

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:46 AM

#

tho the omen 25l looks like it only has out of date configs, sadly, but yea

#

It does have 3070 as best gpu it offers

#

but cpu wise, only last gen ryzen

#

But for 1500$, it gets you a 3600+3070 in a 25L case, not too shabby

sick comet Feb 2, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

well the H1 prebuilts were still running 9900ks so 🤷

elfin trout Feb 2, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

and yea, omen is hp

#

That should be all the major prebuilt manufacturers that make itx prebuilts, I might come back to ping ya again if I find anything new

ATTN: NZXT H1 OWNERS!!! This is a safety issue. If you have this product, please discontinue use of the PCI-E riser, even if you have a 'fixed' case.
OK so I haven't posted in a while, but I was watching some tech news; NZXT is doing a 'formal recall' now for the H1 cases, due to the fires caused in the PCI-E riser and the screw attaching it shorting to ground. It may still present danger even with the nylon 'fix' screws from the first recall. This is an additional recall.
Please contact NZXT support via their website for more information. If your case is already registered, you may receive an email from support (if not, go ahead and contact support anyways).
This IS a safety hazard and can include all sorts of bad things including shorting various components out, smoking liberalously, and causing a FIRE that can spread to your home (not just a little one, it'll get fed by the plastic of the riser and will VERY quickly grow, this is bad and produces many carcinogens like any burning plastic). If your using such a machine and it catches fire, evacuate and dial 911 (or, if you don't mind some possible serious burns and smoke inhalation, remove all plugs as quickly as possible and then take the machine outside - try to hold breath while doing so and hold the machine by the bottom, beware that dripping, burning, melting liquid burning plastic though). Attempting to put the fire out yourself with water while it's plugged in is VERY VERY BAD and may cause electrocution (which can cause serious bodily injury or death), make sure to pull wall power first if you're that daring.
A chemical / electrical fire extinguisher is best in this scenario, so I'd make sure to get one (quickly) if you are using this case with the PCI-E riser...
I am sure many folks have heard about this, but after GN's coverage NZXT is doing a formal recall now. Hooray for Tech Jesus doing the right thing and putting the fire to NZXT for once.

Wet wash cloths also help to put out small fires just MAKE SURE to pull the wall power plug out of the thing first. Power + Water = ouch/death/bad things/etc. If you do go a 'put it out with water in some way after unplugging it' keep all power removed and remove motherboard battery immediately until the thing has had a week to dry out.

#

I've run out of the house with a burning battery backup unit in my hands (I chucked it in the middle of the driveway), it thankfully didn't even burn the carpet, but my at-the-time-current Pentium 4 machine was never quite the same after that fiasco of it blowing up. Hope no one has to go through that.

Fractal has a number of very well made cases that have optical disc drive bays. You can use a 5.25 > 3.5" adapter if you need to go even further back into history.
I use the heck out of them here. Sometimes you can find them used locally, and cheaply at that, if you have the means to go pick it up.
