Ive got a rather in depth set of questions. I hope nobody is offended...

#

I’m looking to build an unraid NAS with 9 HDD of about 10TB each.

I’ve identified the below components for probable use based on recommendations. What I could use is some final advise as to if they are compatible and will fit in well together.

Im not limited to the components or manufacturers listed below. if you have any good alternatives and any cost effective alternatives as well please tell me.

PSU
• Evga Supernova 1000 G3 220-G3 -1000-X1
• Evga Spernova 1000 G2 120-G2 1000-XR

Motherboard
• Gigabyte Z490 Vision G LGA 1200
• Gigabyte Z390 Aorous pro with WIFI LGA

CPU
• Intel I-7 10700K/F

Memory
• ?

Graphics Card
• Do I need one?

SSTA
• ?

Expansion Card
• 6 port SATA 3.0 card 6Gbps
• Prefer three expansion cards capable of a minimum of 3 drives each. One per cage.

HDD CAGES

How does intel CPU/Mobo compatibility work? Is any LGA1151 CPU compatible with LGA1151 board? How does chipset come into play?

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

you want a headache @mild trout ?

hence why i ask

#

and i am curious what brings you around to ask @mild trout ?

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

A friend was talking about getting an intel CPU and I had no idea how their compatibility thing worked.

#

AMD is still masterrace

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

1200 is current socket for intel

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

ya

#

but would a lga1151 cpu work with a lga1151 mobo or is it more complex than that?

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

depending on revision, it can go any way @mild trout

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:47 PM

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

eh

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

so a Z390 was the last revision of the lga1151? And only works with Coffee Lake CPUs?

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

aye

#

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

imagine using ddr4 ram in 2020

no, that is your gddr6 that does

which is vram

mild trout Nov 13, 2020, 7:53 PM

can I pull out my Vram as use it for regular ram

foggy hazel Nov 13, 2020, 7:53 PM

correct, you cannot

hey guys im looking for a air cooler to pair with my 5600x, was looking at the fuma 2 and the arctic freezer 50. any thoughts?

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:29 PM

@raw mist no, a 120mm aio is worse than a lot of air coolers

cunning knoll Nov 13, 2020, 9:29 PM

trying to build a pc with a 500 budget for a friend. alr have ram. what are some parts i could get?

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

if you want overclocking performance you'd be better off spending the same money on a high end air cooler

#

$80 for a 120mm aio is laughable

#

the noctua NH-D15S is cheaper and competitive with some 280mm aios in cooling performance

rocky wren Nov 13, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

@earnest olive the freezer 50 is an air cooler

I'm just waiting for 5900x and 3080 to come back into stock

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

@cunning knoll for $500 budget you'll get much better performance out of used than new

#

see if you can find a used rx 580 8gb for ~$110

rocky wren Nov 13, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

ight cool, ty. 2 year warranty kinda was a turn off for fuma

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:33 PM

i mean

#

it's an air cooler

#

worst case the fan fails and you buy a new fan for like $20

#

a big hunk of metal heatsink can't exactly fail

rocky wren Nov 13, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

ight thats a good point lol

#

ty

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

fuma 2 is one of the best price/performance midrange coolers

#

so don't discount it just because of some pretty much irrelevant warranty

rocky wren Nov 13, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

ight cool just wanted to hear someone elses opinion on it

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

fans generally take much more than 2 years to fail

#

there are intel stock coolers out there in 10 year old office pcs still going strong

rocky wren Nov 13, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

ight fair point haha

earnest olive Nov 13, 2020, 9:38 PM

both will do an excellent job on the 5600X so it's up to you to determine between price/looks/noise

Some of my friends have been buying some of the new RTX cards but they've been paying almost as much as my whole build for a single card so im not too sure anymore if i should just wait for supply shortages to settle

@granite barn Black edition is like $54 compared to the regular 212 at $40 and the performance doesn't seem worth it

@sour falcon 4k looks a little better good for looks

1080p looks worse but eaiser to run

Looking for advice here. My current build is 8 years old. So far my thermals hold just fine, typically under 60 degrees Celsius, games like Control run at a steady 60fps on high settings. My main worry here is the age of the components. I've been considering upgrading just the GPU, but I'm afraid of bottlenecks.

#

Here's the specs.

I've been considering an RTX 30 series card (assuming they ever become available before two or three more generations of GPUs come about).

@neon crest yeah you are definitely going to need to upgrade everything if you want to go for a 3070 or higher

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:10 AM

the 3770K is the best chip your motherboard can take and it's still gonna bottleneck a 3070

#

so you'd need a new motherboard, new cpu, and new ram

#

storage/case may be reusable

#

cooler/fans as well

#

power supply depends

#

if you're worried about age then you probably want to replace it if it's like 8 years old

650W.... I hear it may not be sufficient.

if you wanna give me a budget and which parts you intend to reuse then i can make a list

Hi @earnest olive , I'm back. I am saving money still, but the goal is to build when I get to around 2K. I want to avoid unnecessary costs like RGB (I don't mind if it's there on a good quality component, but I do mind if I'm paying double the price of a same-performance non-RGB component. I prefer durable over pretty.

I don't dislike my current system, but like I said, the age of the components is a factor.

it gets especially bad when the subject is overclocking

little osprey Nov 14, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

Is it worth overclocking the 3600X for what I need?

#

Or just leave the 3.8ghz

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

if you're gaming, PBO is better than manual overclocking

#

PBO is just AMD's intelligent boost algorithm

#

with limits unlocked

#

i have a 3600X with a frankly overkill cooler and motherboard

#

best possible manual overclock is 4.2GHz all core @1.238V, which is a pretty decent sample

#

PBO will reach 4175MHz all core in heavy synthetic loads but up to 4425MHz in gaming

little osprey Nov 14, 2020, 3:55 AM

What are your temps like doing that? I wanna keep my stuff as cool as possible for longevity hence the case

i mean 5600x

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

@astral swift "same price" is a bit deceptive, the 9900K demands a stronger motherboard and cooling than the 5600X does

#

5600X will happily run on a $70 motherboard and stock cooler if you so desire

astral swift Nov 14, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

true, but 2 less cores is not preferable to productivity

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:57 AM

do the same thing with a 9900K and you might end up with a nuclear reactor

astral swift Nov 14, 2020, 3:57 AM

LOL

#

true that

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

5600X is not far behind the 9900K in productivity despite 2 less cores

#

the 9900K still has a lead

#

but it's not that high

#

6 stronger cores vs. 8 weaker cores

astral swift Nov 14, 2020, 3:58 AM

i mean if im going for full on productivity on a budget id get a 2700x

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 3:58 AM

5600X beats 2700X in productivity by quite a bit

don't look too much at core count look at benchmarks

astral swift Nov 14, 2020, 4:01 AM

2700x is better than 3600 in productivity

you're going to want to pair a 9900K with at least a mid range Z390 board for it to make sense

little osprey Nov 14, 2020, 4:03 AM

What I said was IMO AMD is beating the crap out of Intel

#

And with the 6000 series might even take out Nvidia

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 4:04 AM

and at least a CM 212 for running stock, or NH-D15S or better for overclocking

astral swift Nov 14, 2020, 4:04 AM

cm 212 is like 35 right

if you're on a budget the 5600X is still a better option

#

I refuse to spend more than like 120 on a mobo

#

Idk I just cant justify it

earnest olive Nov 14, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

due to the lower requirements for cooling and VRMs

#

i bought a $150 mobo like 2 weeks ago and i'm very happy with it

#

upgraded from a B450 tomahawk max to a B550 aorus elite, gives me peace of mind knowing that if i want a 5950X i can do it

Do the new processors not work with B450?
