#

if you have a am5 cpu you should be able to install windows

vocal hare
#

yeah your mobo should have a hdmi or DP port

loud shuttle
#

yh thats what i used to look at bios

vocal hare
#

right

plucky timber
#

I'm back gamers

mossy venture
#

Wb

rain carbon
#

Ive got the oled black too yeah, its definitely more readable than with the grey oml

crude thistle
#

can i run unraid with a encorder card cause i was thinking about reusing my GPU till the 5080 prices goes to msrp

crude thistle
#

?

unique tundra
#

goes to msrp

#

Hope you wanna wait 10 years

plucky timber
#

I've been waiting for 80TIs to return to $699...

#

that's never happening

broken barn
#

sigh…

#

never gonna happen

jagged ember
#

You already know

crude thistle
#

so my my girlfriend told me she giving me 8k. and help gaming pc. i heard 5090 and the 5080 have there issues. so i dont know what prebuilt i should go with and i am looking for a 4080 or a 4070 ti. i need at lest to be able to add hard drives. It would be easier if i could oder them with the computer. but i want all 6 drives and more then 16tb how do i acomplish this

plucky timber
plucky timber
#

Very specific

#

It's not really possible to have a prebuilt that ships with what you want

crude thistle
#

ok is it possible to fill all six hdd slots

plucky timber
#

Here's the thing

#

Prebuilts don't generally come with 6 hdd slots

#

They just don't

#

Not in 2025

#

You would have to swap the case out at the very minimum

crude thistle
#

the cyber power user phanteks case as a option and it holds 10

#

pc

plucky timber
#

Right

#

You still have to find out what power supply it has

#

And if it has enough sata power connectors

crude thistle
#

i looked it up once or twice and now i can stinking rember

plucky timber
#

ok

crude thistle
#

are 5090s and 5080s ok to use right now with the problems they have at the momment

plucky timber
#

Uh

#

No

#

Absolutely not

#

You're paying inflated prices for a product that delivers mediocre performance for the price, has a fire risk, and a high chance of missing ROPs

#

Idea

#

Why don't you get a regular pc and a nas instead

#

It would be a far more practical setup

crude thistle
#

theres certin things i want to to thats like spongbob but it has to do with collecting

plucky timber
#

But how does that require 6 hard drives all in one computer

#

You can access the nas from your pc

#

It's not like you're going to be using all the hard drives at the same time

crude thistle
#

no i got a second computer i was going to turn int unraid and a media server

plucky timber
#

Also what do you mean by "spongebob"

crude thistle
#

seedbox

plucky timber
#

You can do that on a server...

#

You don't need it on your primary pc

#

Why do you need that much storage on one machine

#

What exactly are you doing on it

crude thistle
#

well i was going to game with 135tb roms but comcast aka num nuts is too slow and i dont get 2.5 gig fiber for at least a month ish but i could retaire my gaming pc and turn it into a server

plucky timber
#

how do you have...

#

Ok hear me out

#

What if

#

You get a server with a 2.5GBe connection to your pc also with a 2.5GBe connection

#

And stream the roms off it

#

And also what roms are you running anyways

#

Surely a gigabit connection is fast enough

#

Here's the thing you don't need 2.5Gbps fiber to have a 2.5Gbps local connection

crude thistle
#

its only 2.5 down and 500 up.

plucky timber
#

No no no

#

You don't understand

#

Gigabit local connection

#

Stream whatever files off your server

#

A local 2.5GbE is probably faster than any hard drive on the market

#

You can stream files off your server

#

You just need 2.5 GbE nics on both computers

crude thistle
#

how fast will it be beacuse i cant download or upload

plucky timber
#

No no no

#

You don't understand

#

It is LOCAL

#

It is separate from your internet

#

Ok

#

Think about it this way

#

You have your pc

#

With say one 2TB ssd

#

No hard drives

#

But the HDDs are in your server

#

Assume both computers have a 2.5GbE nic

#

Your server is physically connected to your gaming pc with a ethernet cable

#

It is a LOCAL network

#

You get as much bandwidth as the hardware can handle

#

Which is 2.5Gbps

#

Or around 312.5 megabytes per second

#

Which is faster than most HDDs

crude thistle
#

oh

plucky timber
#

Do you understand what I'm trying to say here

#

Basically

#

You can move all the storage off your main pc

crude thistle
#

yed

plucky timber
#

Into one big server

#

And added benefit

#

Next time you want to upgrade your gaming pc

#

It's easier to move files around

#

Cuz it's all in the server

crude thistle
#

ok. how would i stream my 4k movies

#

on my zidoo

plucky timber
#

What in the name of Ra is a zidoo

crude thistle
#

its a media box it lets you its a streaming box like nvida shield

plucky timber
#

Where exactly are your movies stored

crude thistle
#

it would be on the server

plucky timber
#

I have no idea how your gizmo works

#

But I assume if it has that functionality

#

It would let you select a network drive

#

An alternative is to just run a plex/jellyfin media server on the server itself

crude thistle
#

it take yes it takes ethernet and wifi. i would be eaither be using jellyfinn or plex pluck emby

plucky timber
#

Yeah you don't need a ziggy to run that

#

Just run plex or jellyfin on the server

crude thistle
#

ok. then how do i stream

plucky timber
#

...with plex or jellyfin?

#

Not sure what you are asking here

crude thistle
#

yea

plucky timber
#

what

crude thistle
#

with plex or jellyfin

plucky timber
#

I am going to sleep

#

Maybe one of the techies in another time zone can help

crude thistle
#

ok

@mossy venture almost done picking my stuff https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wjL4PJ

turns out the nvme i picked was slow asf, so i used the sites thingy and found a fast asf one, and my fan was too expensive and it was kinda loud, so i used the websites decibel checker, i got a ram that’s ddr5 6000 so it’s stable, and it’s also designed for the 9000 series of ryzen, and then the gpu ofc is the link you sent me, how’s the gear so far?

mossy venture
#

The 980 pro is overpriced asf

crimson zinc
#

^

mossy venture
#

One second

#

That cooler also sucks

broken barn
#

you mean 990

#

the storage right

crimson zinc
#

Most Samsung stuff is overpriced

broken barn
crimson zinc
#

“Name brand” type overcharge

broken barn
mossy venture
crimson zinc
#

I think they’re doing that

mossy venture
#

Also I'm 98% sure I made you three lists yesterday and one used the 9900x

crimson zinc
broken barn
#

thank you to the both of yall

#

i gotta run to precalc

#

fuhhhh

crimson zinc
#

I didn’t do much, so give it all to Bacca

crimson zinc
broken barn
broken barn
mossy venture
#

Yes

broken barn
#

what’s 9x=18

crimson zinc
#

I was better at trig, that was my thang

mossy venture
broken barn
#

LOL

mossy venture
#

Pre calc made me want to cry

#

I shouldn't have passed that class

mossy venture
crimson zinc
#

I passed honours trig with pretty good grades, failed Pre calc

#

No idea why

mossy venture
#

In my senior year I took an ece math class

#

That was somehow easier than pre calc

crimson zinc
mossy venture
#

If i didn't decide to do nothing for a semester of online schooling I'd have passed pre calc in 10th grade

vale epoch
crimson zinc
#

Maybe it was my teacher

vale epoch
#

I think its more of how much time u can dedicate to assignments

#

In high school ur juggling like 8 subjects

#

Possibly clubs

#

And stuff

#

Waking up super early in the morning

#

It sucks

broken barn
#

@mossy venture is the ram i chose good? it says it’s meant for the 9000 series, which means my 9900x should be good, and it’s also 6000 and not 6400 so stability will be good

#

and as for the mobo, what you chose was great apart from a few issues, do you know anything with like 5 3.0 usb ports, an extra usb type c,

mossy venture
#

There's identical kits for $85-90 but if you like the aesthetic its fine

broken barn
mossy venture
#

Silicon power 6000c30

broken barn
broken barn
#

what makes that one better

#

cuz there’s like 0 reviews

tawny violet
#

Guaranteed Hynix die so it'll overclock wonderfully, priced good and it fits any non-white build

tawny violet
#

You lol

broken barn
#

oh

#

i’m not gonna be overclooxking

tawny violet
#

Methinks Bacca is not online rn so I'm pitching in

broken barn
#

tank you for ze pitch in

tawny violet
#

No problemo

broken barn
#

what do you feel about the ram i chose

#

i think it’s pretty good

#

it’s advertised as for the 9000 series of ryzen

#

which i wanna get a 9900x

#

and it’s 32gn ddr5 6000

#

and it’s cl 30

tawny violet
#

What is it?

broken barn
#

lemme link you

tawny violet
#

Cuz all 6000 CL30 is guaranteed to be Hynix

#

So they'll all perform within margin of error (short of component failure or being DOA)

broken barn
#

imagine it without the rgb, that was a mistake

#

it’s extra money and useless

#

to me

tawny violet
#

Yeah that's like

#

The same thing

#

But costs more

broken barn
#

exactly

#

do you think the ram j chose is skibidi tho

tawny violet
#

6000 CL30s are all the same
Get literally the cheapest of them you get and you profit

broken barn
tawny violet
#

If you pay more than absolute cheapest

You're paying for aestheticß

#

Technically all 6000 CL30 is compatible with Ryzen 9000 processors

#

So it's like a marketing thing

broken barn
#

i think i might stick with it ngl cuz after all it’s just $100

broken barn
#

LOL

tawny violet
#

How much is the Silicon Power?

broken barn
#

84 bucks i’m pretty sure

tawny violet
#

Then SC for sure

#

Why pay more for the exact same thing?

broken barn
#

good point but like it has barely any reviews

tawny violet
#

Doesn't matter tbf

#

Reviews are pretty much whatever

broken barn
#

ima switch it out for the sc then

tawny violet
#

See you saved 16 bucks and lost nothing!

broken barn
#

YIPPEE

#

actually i might switch the nvme

#

i used the sites benchmark thingy and the one originally on there was apparently slow asf

rain carbon
#

ssd speed doesnt really matter for gaming

tawny violet
#

I don't know what you'd use the 9900X for?

#

Are you like a streamer or something like that?

broken barn
#

Usage: exporting related stuff like videos, live audio, gaming here and there, general use, multiple chrome tabs, multitasking (prioritized, such as gaming with a lot of stuff in the background), ai stuff (not as prioritized)

broken barn
rain carbon
tawny violet
#

How averse are you to a 13700K/14700K?

broken barn
rain carbon
#

30 bucks wont make a big deal tho

broken barn
tawny violet
broken barn
#

lemme go on cpu benchmarks and look up

rain carbon
tawny violet
#

I'd say so yes
It's also cheaper than a 9900X

rain carbon
#

you could just round up and get about 3tbs of storage for that price

#

you'll notice an extra tb WAY before that speed

tawny violet
#

Since the 9900X is likely to have issues with cross-CCD latency in games

#

And that's not really talked about with benchmark scores

broken barn
tawny violet
#

But you'll notice hitching and so

broken barn
tawny violet
#

I mean you CAN make the 9900X work

#

It's just gonna need you to actually make an effort to like use a third party tool to force the game to run on one CCD

broken barn
#

freaky ahh comparison

#

ima take your word and switch out the pcpartpicker cpu brb

rain carbon
#

more cores doesnt always mean more perf past 8 cores for ryzen typically

tawny violet
#

Ye my point exactly

rain carbon
broken barn
tawny violet
#

But you can use the same memory

rain carbon
#

yup, ddr5 works for all supporting board types

broken barn
#

uefuwbcubceubiefb

rain carbon
#

huh kekw

tawny violet
#

You TECHNICALLY get a wee bit more performance with like 7200 memory

But it is so diminishing returns I'd not even bother

#

7200 memory also costs more

#

Like WAY more

rain carbon
#

7200mhz?

tawny violet
#

Ye

broken barn
rain carbon
#

why would you when you can just

#

6000

#

lol

tawny violet
rain carbon
#

fair

broken barn
rain carbon
#

cl30 6000 is such a good sweetspot

tawny violet
#

6000 CL30 will overclock to like 7600 CL36 pretty well anyway

#

Or at least 7200

rain carbon
#

^

tawny violet
#

Because remember

Hynix die

#

That's what matters not brand or reviews

#

Cheap Hynix die >>>> anything else

broken barn
#

i don’t plan on any overclocking, should i stick to the silicon power one for ddr5 6000 cl 30?

rain carbon
#

i still need to check if my gre's v ram is hynix or samsung

#

pretty sure its samsung tho

tawny violet
#

We're just saying you can OC it and get the same memory you'd have to pay like 140 bucks to have it adverised

broken barn
#

i’m scared of overclocking

#

what if i explode my house

rain carbon
#

overclocking is hella safe nowadays

broken barn
rain carbon
#

worst thing it does is, oh no, reboot your pc

broken barn
#

i’ve always been not wanting to do it

rain carbon
#

just dont do mobo overclocks

#

lol

#

bios i mean

broken barn
rain carbon
#

if only thats how it functioned

#

LMAO

broken barn
#

hmm you drive a hard bargain

#

500 hz

rain carbon
#

300hz is already kinda pointless

broken barn
#

onb

#

144hz is the sweet spot

rain carbon
#

180-240 is the most you'll even notice

#

for comp higher can help but its minimal

#

and im talking pro esports

broken barn
#

LOL

rain carbon
#

but the refresh rate isnt even the only hitch there, everything else impacts

broken barn
rain carbon
#

oled is dropping down at least

#

tho i wish i had a miniled rn

#

id trade in my ips without hesitation

mossy venture
#

Way too much

#

Idm questions especially from someone who's looking for advice instead of someone to agree with their choices

mossy venture
#

280-360mm

tawny violet
#

Oh yeah my bad I forgot about that

#

On the flip side
More RBG fans hehe

mossy venture
#

$450 7950x3d

#

That'd be perfect for you

rain carbon
#

why such a beefy cpu?

#

idk how it impacts streaming and the like

tawny violet
#

It's whatever

#

Cross CCD still a thing

#

I was recommending the 14700K cuz it works close to X3D in games but has the e-cores for streaming background apps

rain carbon
#

fair

tawny violet
#

Also Quicksync is cool as heck

mossy venture
rain carbon
#

im gonna assume adobe has an intel bias too

mossy venture
#

7950x3d is 5-15% better depending on the game (maybe more in games that really like x3d, like rust)

#

In other stuff idk

tawny violet
mossy venture
#

Project lasso

rain carbon
#

weird cropping because youtube video lol

#

but

#

aggregate score in adobe

#

intel's e-cores really struggle to keep up dont they

#

tho its definitely still impressive

#

im curious why amd only has p cores or whatever alternative youd call it

tawny violet
#

But yes it can be fixed

It still is annoying that you have to

rain carbon
tawny violet
#

I don't think 14700k needs process lasso

#

But I can be wrong

rain carbon
#

i dont know intel enough

#

i never see anyone talk about intel cpus here lmao

#

other than like

#

"ooOoOo latest gens were a bust oOooOoo"

tawny violet
#

700K and 600K skus are pretty good value lately if stock remains

#

Prices pretty much plummeted

rain carbon
#

hope prices stay that way

broken barn

refurbished looking really eye catching rn (7950x)

mossy venture
#

i dont know enough about either live audio or exporting to answer that though

rain carbon
#

im not me without my 64 instances of windows

#

thats what 64 bit windows stands for right?

mossy venture
#

Definitely

crude thistle
#

what nas has the most bays for 4k and under that support plex and jellyfinn and uses sfp+

#

4k USD

broken barn
#

plez rate it

#

there’s no mobo yet

mossy venture
#

looks good

#

b650 eagle ax would be fine

broken barn
#

oooooo

mossy venture
#

chatgpt is very useless for pc builds

broken barn
mossy venture
#

yes, ive seen a lot of people ask it for builds or build advice and end up with a very bad value pc

broken barn
tawny violet
broken barn
#

for like 350$

#

imo pretty goated deal

tawny violet
#

Ah that's actually competitive

#

You'll be great with either, even though I still think the 700K would benefit you

#

Still, refurb 7950X is def valid

#

Honestly just get whichever is cheaper for CPU+mobo

broken barn
#

what do you think is better for me

#

because atp they’re the same price for me

#

cuz i can get the 7950x reburished

#

and then the 700k regular priced cuz idk where to find any refurbished ones

#

my thought is the 7950x

tawny violet
#

It's truly a tossup

broken barn
#

what does tossup mean

tawny violet
#

Quicksync might be really useful for you, but even then

tawny violet
#

As much as a specific feature or brand preference can decide it

broken barn
broken barn
tawny violet
#

Overall Bacca's points are valid

#

It's just that I think the 700Ks are really meant for the exact use case that you have

#

There's both ups and downs to both really

broken barn
#

awwhehshd this is so hard to choose

tawny violet
#

Ultimately it's your money

#

But you won't be disappointed with either

broken barn
#

that makes sense

tawny violet
# broken barn awwhehshd this is so hard to choose

Honestly coin toss would probs help with indecision
Heads Intel, tails AMD
Flip a coin and if you like the outcome take it

And if you didn't then you already made a decision just needed to reaffirm it

broken barn
#

if i were to get the 700k id get it reburished but newegg doesn’t even have it

#

ykw, ima choose the amd one because im used to having amd stuff

#

heads is amd ima reaffirm it

#

yeppppppp

#

amd it is LOL

#

@tawny violet Can you plez help me find a good mom board, preferably one that has at least 2 hdmi, 2 usb-c, 5 3.0 usb, ethernet, wifi, 2 standard headphone jacks,

#

Why the hell do you need double USB-C?

#

Also two headphone jacks.

Gigabyte Eagle AX B650

I don't think it's worth the upsell

loud shuttle
#

i have 7800x3d/B650 eagle AX mobo. can i setup windows and everything im missing my gpu cuz its taking ages to come

tawny violet
#

I believe so

#

it will have some display output

loud shuttle
#

bios worked i could see it all

#

so i assume it has integrated graphics

tawny violet
#

It's 2 CUs

#

It's gonna make for A display output

#

But it's not meant to be gamed on

loud shuttle
#

i won’t play games yet

tawny violet
#

Good for troubleshooting tho

loud shuttle
#

but yh can i set up windows or should i wait

broken barn
tawny violet
#

Power supply I'm not entirely sure on
Case is Montech it's cheap stuff but decent for it
Cooler is pretty much top of the line, though sound IDK about

#

I'm actually gonna say I don't like the PSU

#

Bitfenix is unknown to me

mossy venture
#

Psu is good and cooler is quiet

tawny violet
#

Didn't even know they make PSUs

tawny violet
mossy venture
#

They had one of the best atx 2.0 psus and just slapped atx 3.0 spec on it basically

#

Bfg=bitfenix formula gold

tawny violet
#

Again I didn't even know they make PSUs so

#

That tells me little

#

But I'm assuming A tier on SPL

#

Or cultists

mossy venture
#

And yeah bfg was A tier on cultists, bfg atx 3.0 is A tier on the new list

#

Unless it's b+ idk

#

Lemme check rq

tawny violet
#

Alright then nevermind it was just me not knowing

#

Also

#

A good 750 would be enough for that build iirc

#

But having some headway is not unwelcome if the price is right

mossy venture
#

Oh yeah the 850w is b+ while the 1000w/1200 are A tier

tawny violet
#

So no complaints there

mossy venture
#

Nah that build needs an 850w

#

3080 ti is very power hungry and has high transients

broken barn
#

@mossy venture @tawny violet so i am destined to have a good ass setup?

mossy venture
#

One sec ima swap psu rq

#

But yes

broken barn
#

YAYYY

#

hopefully that case holds up

tawny violet
#

It should work out

#

I run a Montech case

#

It's not let me down yet

broken barn
tawny violet
#

Air X is surprisingly good value, but sadly discontinued by now
I'd def recommend it

mossy venture
#

I've suggested it to probably over 100 people atp

#

Xr is great

tawny violet
#

Double 200mm fans are actually great in my case

mossy venture
#

Sama 3509 and king 65 pro are worth checking out

broken barn
mossy venture
#

$110 good 1000w psu

#

Just grab that

mossy venture
#

Whichever one you like the aesthetic of more

#

I can grab alternatives too

broken barn
#

oh shi the case has ports YOOO

mossy venture
#

Those are just a few options

tawny violet
#

Yeah XPG is based
I'd def get it

#

Core Reactor is like
Amazing

broken barn
mossy venture
#

The 850w is $10 cheaper if you'd like

#

Either is fine

tawny violet
#

Ye that's how it goes

#

I'd grab the larger one cuz the price difference is small

#

Just in case you end up getting a 90 class card later

broken barn
#

$10 is nothing

broken barn
# mossy venture Yeah

is there any cases where the cooling isn’t loud, that’s a too priority for me ngl

#

and the ports are fire on the king 65 pro

i got few questions. do i sell my ryzen 9 5900 32 gbddr4 54tb total compacity with 12tb disks but one is dieing? I can reuse that money to build a better gaming computer and build a nas?

mossy venture
#

I mean why not reuse the storage?

crude thistle
#

i can just dont think people would want a 1tb nvme i forgot to mention thats slow

mossy venture
#

I'm very confused atm

#

You have 54tb of mostly hdds, right?

#

And you want to build a nas with hdds?

crude thistle
#

yes but i want a gaming a better gaming computer i got a super old vii GPU. I have limited room since i rent a room in adult foster home and by baratirc bed and my trapaezz takes alot of room. so I cant have two full desktops in the way but i can put the server in the closet perhaps but i would have to ask permission since i would have to have a caregiver drill holes for networking

#

build a better *

mossy venture
#

So are you against reusing your hard drives for the NAS?

crude thistle
#

one drive is dead almost but i will not work with unraid. but no i am not. do i need matching drives for truenas do vms cause i need few vms too.

mossy venture
#

I don't think you need matching drives, I've never messed with a NAS before

#

Someone else would be more help for that, one sec

#

@gleaming kernel are you busy/awake?

#

Wait it's like 3am there

mossy venture
#

Video editing?

crude thistle
#

was going to but then i forgot to buy the things i needed and now the prices are doubled

mossy venture

I raid 4 Seagate 20tb nas drive and one of them is different model but working without issue

#

20tb exos were low as 300$ new sometimes

#

Anyways amazon warehouse selling just junk nowadays

crude thistle
#

what model of hba do you guys recomend

ornate condor
#

Anything I buy from them is just junk even tho they sell it as 'like new'

mossy venture

Do you have a list of what your current build is?

crude thistle
#

ryzen 9 5900x 12tbx 5 msi mgg motherboard ddr4 32gb @3600mhz 850w PSU meshify 2 XL

mossy venture
#

Alright, did you want to downsize?

#

And are you wanting to replace cpu mobo and ram as well?

#

Or just move the storage and replace gpu

crude thistle
#

well i wanted to do a unraid aio build but the people at homlab discord said bad idea but now its even more temting to do so

mossy venture
#

You can if youd really like to but theres not many benefits

crude thistle
#

would it be risky

mossy venture
#

Aios have a lifespan of 3-6 years, they don't often leak but the possibility is there

mossy venture
crude thistle
#

no unraid all in one build

mossy venture
#

What

#

What parts of your pc do you want to replace

crude thistle
#

cpu motherboard ram GPU

mossy venture
#

How much ram do you think you need?

crude thistle
#

128

mossy venture
#

Is 96gb enough?

#

128gb loses performance on ddr5

crude thistle
#

sure

mossy venture
#

Just a general idea, you can change it as you think you'll need

crude thistle
#

ok

#

i just bought windows 11 pro and my key has 2 “S” in there and its not letting me use that when inputing the code.

mossy venture
dusky hearth
#

seems like the workaround is to activate it after installing windows

crude thistle
#

epyc?

#

because it has intergrated graphics

mossy venture
#

?

stoic island
#

Epyc chips have igpus but 7950x does too

crude thistle
#

ik can they both transcode 1 4k stream

stoic island
#

afaik the am5 epyc chips have the same igpu as 7950x

#

ok. truenas core does it have a web ui where i can use a tv screen?

can i download all my games without a gpu (it comes on saturday). i have integrated graphics for now

I’d been meaning to wipe pc for a bit but I’d like to keep some game clips any suggestions? The problem being it’s like a tb worth of clips

cyan ravine

An external drive

# cyan ravine An external drive

Could it be possible if I format one of my hard drives and move all my clips on it then I could remove that hard drive from pc and wipe the pc and once I’m all set up install the drive with the clips would that work ?

cyan ravine
#

If you have a spare drive you can just move them there

#

Wiping windows should be just the main drive

#

I was advised by someone who deals with enterpise gear for living and he recomended i go with a rackmount 24 bay. Who do i go with? will it make my room a oven? how do i buy boxes of hard drives?

jagged ember
#

A room? Nah that's gonna be pretty loud

#

If it's in another room yeah for sure but

#

Servers are loud af

#

You're better off getting a Ugreen nas or building your own

#

If you wanted 24 drives you'd just ask your friend lol, see if he can get you any good deals

#

Or eBay

Any budget friendly upgrades i should make

holy bananas, quadruple redundant power supplies

modest iron
plucky timber
#

but if it works it works

#

there are many issues with that build

#

but since you already have it

#

🤷‍♂️

#

It's not a good kit

#

but I wouldn't replace it unless it's actually unstable

#

(there is unironically a decent chance of that happening because vengeance is hot garbage)

modest iron
plucky timber
#

at least in regards to modern hardware

#

say

mossy venture
#

Is it 16gb or 32?

plucky timber
#

you run DDR5 4800 CL48

#

versus DDR4 6000 CL30

#

massive difference

mossy venture
#

I wouldnt stay its pointless to upgrade, considering he can resell it to make up some of the cost

plucky timber
#

I mean

#

the thing is tho

#

the current market

mossy venture
#

5200c40 is significantly worse than 6000c30

plucky timber
#

he can resell the ram kit but

#

think the ram is the biggest thing we can tinker with really

mossy venture
plucky timber
#

actually no

#

there's no need

#

open task manager

#

and go to the ram tab

#

and then send a screenshot

dusky hearth

though hwinfo is also a useful program

Eh

To be fair I doubt you'd be maxing out gigabit that often anyways

You can always upgrade the nic later

crude thistle
#

yup my friend who works in entrprises his name is joe he recomended sfp+ for my gaming computer. but i was going to get a 10 gig rj45 45 since i dont know how to run fiber though the whole house. I gusss i could buy cables and a couple sfp+ switchs and call it a day or how would i do thant and vise vercia for rj45

#

for 10gig

plucky timber
#

I mean

#

Here's the thing tho

#

You're running a hard drive server

#

Unless you're striping or mirroring the drives

#

You probably won't need that much speed

crude thistle
#

ok would it make much of a difference for seedbox vm. Then jellyfinn or plex ?

plucky timber
#

Well here's the thing

#

It doesn't matter

#

You're running it on the server itself

crude thistle
#

Ok

plucky timber
#

That doesn't eat up that much bandwidth

#

I'm more talking about streaming roms directly off the server to your gaming pc

#

I'd say 2.5GbE is a decent middle ground

#

10gbps would be nice tho

#

And would future proof you

crude thistle
#

well the manger of the group home wanted fiber too so hes paying half

plucky timber

modest iron

what should i buy

plucky timber
#

You got intel right

modest iron
#

uhh

modest iron
plucky timber

Basically Ryzen cpus doesn't like ram above 6000MHz

while intel can go higher

modest iron

so what ram should i gt

plucky timber

I'm working on it

modest iron

i just play games and use after effects on my pc

modest iron
plucky timber

ok so

#

we don't think there's anything worth upgrading

I mean your pc is not optimal but

modest iron

it does

but the amount of money you have to spend to get a slight bit of improvement is ehhh

Best to use two separate

restive halo

The only thing he is interested in playing is Almost Human on the best settings possible

shut rampart

it’s private

restive halo
#

Did that work

restive halo
#

One sec

#

I need to get to $800 but the GPU went up like $300

#

He wants to play Almost Human on the best settings possible.

mossy venture
#

Although a used gpu with more vram would be better

#

2080 ti, 6700xt/6750xt, 6800, etc

restive halo
#

I don't like buying used because I don't know enough about it

mossy venture
#

New gpus are not a realistic option right now, unless he wants to go for an rx 7600

#

Prices are wack

restive halo
#

So the 3070 is a good option

mossy venture
#

Its not bad but not crazy

#

The 8gb vram on it will limit it in a fair number of games, which means turning the settings down

restive halo
#

Ok do you know of a used gpu that you would trust

mossy venture
#

Like a specific link?

#

Or models

restive halo
#

Link

#

For this specific builds needs

mossy venture
#

I don't have one atm but there's a seller I've been using on ebay recently. He doesn't have anything posted right now but there's been good deals almost daily

#

Let me grab the link

restive halo
#

Ok thank you

mossy venture
#

They've had some $260-300 2080 tis, and some under $400 6800s and 6800xts

#

And i think some under $300 6700xts

restive halo
#

Will this work @mossy venture

loud shuttle
#

do i need any of these

#

installing 7900xt

how much better is the 6700xt and the 6800 from the 4070? peepoSadSip

rain carbon

I have them for mine, ive got a red devil too

#

Gpu sag can destroy both your pcie slots on your mobo and mess up your gpu so its safer to use em

loud shuttle
#

what about the lil remote thing

rain carbon

its weighted

#

also this should be on the manual as well

loud shuttle

hmm so 3 different types

#

i assume i have to place all of em

#

in diff places

#

thanks @rain carbon ill check a guide

rain carbon
#

youll one use one of those rods and one of those clamps, the other clamp and rod wont be used at the same time

#

you could also use literally anything to support it

#

legos, your moms credit card, whatever

vague oracle
# restive halo

Lol out of every option you could've chosen, probably found one of the only ones that are genuinely unreliable

restive halo
vague oracle
#

Find like a 3080 or 6800xt, both should be under $300ish

restive halo
#

This is why I usually request links because I don't know enough to buy used

#

@vague oracle will that work

#

@vague oracle

#

He wants to play Once Human on the best settings sorry not Almost Human

tawny violet
#

wait a 20gb 3080???

restive halo
#

Says Server Gpu?

tawny violet
#

That's quite sketchy

restive halo
#

I figured

#

For that price as well

#

I just need s gpu that will work with the other parts and run his game smoothly

mossy venture
#

Nono

#

Radeon 7 is pain

restive halo

So i have rufly $300-$350 for a gpu

I was leaning towards the QICK XFX one just because it’s three fans instead of 2 like the swft. Might also wait to see if I can get my hands on a 9070
