    Question Ryzen 5 gaming build

    Looks like I should go w/ the bundle - better system, slightly, cheaper as well, and the memory latency is really quite negligible. Unless the MoBo is not great - seems maybe okay?

    Okay - I've been thrown for a loop w/ a tough decision because of a MicroCenter Bundle. Here is the bundle. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006269/amd-ryzen-7-7700x,-msi-b650-p-pro-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-combo Price actually comes out CHEAPER w/...

    Question Ryzen 5 gaming build

    For playing BG3 on 2k gaming monitor. Some photo editing. Not looking to raise the budget above this $1,100 price point if I can help it. I've got some noctua NF-S12A FLX that I'll put in there and need to buy windows as well. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WN7Lsh

    Macrium Reflect Issues - HDD -> SSD Clone

    one of my colleagues recommended clonezilla for cloning bad sectors so maybe I'll give that a try.

    Macrium Reflect Issues - HDD -> SSD Clone

    I'm trying to move a smaller old HDD with Windows 7 (~700GB) that is pretty full (around 90%) to a new SSD that's a bit bigger (1TB). I keep getting an error when I'm close to done (95%+): error 9: error code 1117, I/O device error. I've ran chkdsk multiple times and it does mention that there...

    First Build after 8+ years...

    It seems more often than not you can assume modern motherboards can boot from M.2 I think? - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-mobo-with-m-2-slot-capable-of-booting-off-it.3375677/ Also, this line in the MSI motherboard's manual seems to imply it: "If your system currently boots to M.2...

    First Build after 8+ years...

    Okay, a few changes: 1. I am thinking the MSI B450 Gaming Plus over the ASRock, really just because of the brand name. Although I'm not sure if it supports booting from the M.2!? 2. Power Supply 3. Windows 10 is more expensive than I thought. I want to make sure I get a legit key and I think I...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    Good thinking, it was worth a shot despite the Open Hardware Monitor app claiming battery voltage was fine. I'm a DIY EE, so I've got a component drawer full of them, but no dice. I did hear from the sage, Continuum on Ars, that PSUs are pretty affordable these days but I don't have anything on...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    After getting the advice that saving the PSU isn't worth it even if it's good, the only remaining calculus was just replacing the PSU in the off chance that it was the only bad component. At a minimum it would've been awesome to get it up and running quickly while I figure out new components and...

    First Build after 8+ years...

    So what happens if I go for the 8GBx2 and then later on get two more 8GB sticks to use all four DIMs? I loose something versus going 16GBx2? How does this work? My understanding, way back in the day, when it came to dual channel memory was that the following were basically equally good...

    First Build after 8+ years...

    Any reason to do 256 and 1TB versus just 1TB? At the 1TB stage, the PCIe versus SATA interface doesn't seem to make a very big difference in price. From some quick googling, I'm not sure what the advantage (price, performance, etc.) of doing what you described would be and I'm pretty...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    I think my power supply is okay (not saying I'm going to reuse it). I figured out how to use this Open Hardware Monitor app a bit better. I can enable hidden voltages and log them. The voltages generally seem pretty stable except for the CPUVCore. I can make it drop quite a bit by increasing or...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    I'm guessing 12V2 is the second connector (separate from the ATX) that goes to the motherboard closer to the CPU. Looks like it's 8 pin.

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    Okay, I can totally check these voltage levels... This pinout looks good - http://powersupply33.com/atx-power-supply-pinout.html/atx-power-supply-pinout There looks to be space to jam leads in behind the ATX connector And, as far as figuring out how many buses there are to check, I think this...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    Here is my rough system specs, as of 8+ years ago when I built it. It's an i5 760. SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W I've since upgraded the above system w/ more RAM a few times, (currently running 4x4GB = 16GB as of 1 or 2 years ago) I've also upgrade the GPU to MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB 2.5 years...

    First Build after 8+ years...

    After a long run my i5 760 from 8.5 years ago seems to be dying. This is my main desktop at home and I'm sort of happy on some level to upgrade my system. The reason is sort of stupid, but I want to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 so I can have bluetooth support for my XBoxOne controllers...

    Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

    I think it's my motherboard/CPU, but it's hard to know for certain without swapping out every single other component, including the PSU. I don't have a PSU and I don't want to have to go get one, but it would be nice to be a little more sure than I am so that I can be comfortable reusing my PSU...

    Mini Linux Server Build

    Damn, I could have saved $18, re: pins. Actually I just found a super old 300w seasonic "tornado" in my closet, so I could have saved $55, if I'd reused it, but I probably won't bother canceling the order. Lol re: sata speeds. Yeah i don't think this system will use 3Gbps in its lifetime...

    Hmmm... thanks for pointing that out again. I was leaning towards getting this quiet seasonic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151117 For $56 after rebate, due to increasing prices of higher wattage/higher pin Pico PSUs. This would only be $4 more, but it's out *NO SMALL...

    Mini Linux Server Build

    I might have an issue with the pico psu I spec'd. It is only 20 pin, not 24. The Asus c-60 looks tempting at only $10 more and 4 sata Ports. I wonder if it draws more power, though it might not matter if i have to upgrade my psu due to pins. As long as the board has Linux driver support...

    Mini Linux Server Build

    Oh, that's good to know! Hopefully I haven't missed any other good brick or pico-PSU deals. Looking further, I'm confused as to why they are paring a 102W brick with Pico PSUs that are rated much higher. Am I missing something? I'm spec'ing higher wattage on my brick (120W compared to 80W...

    Lower Computing Power (AMD) System for MAME Arcade Cabinet

    Oh cool, thanks for the link. I should clarify that by lower power I mean computing power, not actual wattage.

    Lower Computing Power (AMD) System for MAME Arcade Cabinet

    Hi Ancalagon44, thanks for the info! A couple notes... My pricing includes MIR, and there is a promocode if you look at Newegg's latest email special for $15 off. No. I'd consider Intel if it makes sense. Unless I'm missing the boat on target performance, I would be more likely to...

    My Budget Build

    One thing ended up changing. I got a message a day and a half or so after I ordered the PSU stating that it wasn't in stock. I could have gotten the 420 or 530 for upper 70s, if I searched hard, but new I'd get it quickly if I just went with NewEgg, so I payed the $85 for a 520. CPU i3...

    My Budget Build

    Looks like the i3 2100 doesn't support the Turbo Boost based upon the charts here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/2 I'd assume that the motherboard will/should support it if/when this computer gets an i5.
