    Question Storage solutions for home server?

    Here is the situation. I'm looking for a better storage setup for my home server. I'm currently just using a software RAID 1 setup in one of my PCs as network storage, but I'm looking for a solution that isn't going to cost a ton, but will give me better performance than running a software...

    AMD 3700x with 470x

    If you are thinking there will be a performance difference between B450/X470 and X570, you would mostly be wrong. They will all perform within a few % of each other. The real reason to go X570 is if you want the latest and greatest features, additional I/O, most up to date wifi (wifi 6), and...

    Intel's response to the $79 Ryzen 5 1600?

    That deal has been available for a couple of months. It is an insane value. You can pick up a 1600, a decent B450 motherboard, and 8GB of ok RAM for less than $200 after taxes. That's pretty hard to beat.

    Draining your hard line tubing setup. Looking for ideas

    So I've been messing with soft and hard line tubing setups for several years, but one of the things I feel like I don't have a good grasp on is getting a hard line tubing setup that's easy to drain. I usually drain my systems every 6 months - 1 year, and every time I do, I feel like it's a huge...

    Question Should I be worried, or is this an error

    So I'm not sure if I should be worried about the HW Monitor readout below, or just assume that its an error and ignore it. Notice the TMPIN6 is reading 120c as the temp for whatever sensor that is. This is at idle, and you can see the other temps are well within the normal range for an idling...

    Question Any idea what's wrong with my 1080ti?

    Well I'm 90% sure that whatever is wrong with card was caused by changing out the cooler, so I wouldn't feel great about sending the card back for something that is not supposed to be covered under warranty. Also it has non-stock thermal pads, and paste on it, so I'm sure the warranty wouldn't...

    Question Any idea what's wrong with my 1080ti?

    I have my 1080ti normally in my main system which is running a custom loop. Long story short, I have my motherboard from that system in for an RMA, and was wanting to use the 1080ti on my backup system while I wait on a new motherboard, so I reinstalled the air cooler (it's a founders edition)...

    Question Looking for micro atx recommendations

    Unfortunately there is a dearth of good micro ATX cases. Fractal does have a couple of good ones, the Meshify C mini is a good option, and also the Define Mini C TG edition isn't bad. You can also check out the Corsair 280X if that's your thing.

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    I'm guessing you didn't read the last paragraph of my post. For the OP, if he wants to stay with his current platform, get a 2600k or 3770k and be done with it. It will be a noticeable upgrade to what he has now. If he's going to upgrade his platform, the R5 1600 or R5 2600 would be the best...

    can you suggested me the best best monitors with 1440p Gsync monitor.with ips in 27 size ? inch size

    I would say it really depends on which games you play. Many multiplayer games like overwatch and PUBG support the 21:9 aspect, but actually end up cutting down your vertical FOV because they cut off the bottom and top of the image to make it fit that aspect ratio. So you end up with the...

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    I'm not trying to get in a whole thing, but you are way off. Just taking the set of gaming benchmarks (Civ 6, Ashes, SoM, GTA V) that were run with a GTX 1080 at 1080p resolution. The average for the average framerates of the 2600k was 81.17 versus 90.70 for the 1600x. This is the Ryzens weak...

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    I think maybe you were looking at those graphs backwards chief. The 1600 was comparable to the 2600k in everything BUT rocket league. The 1600 was kicking the 2600k up and down the field on everything non-game related.

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    I don't know what tasks you are looking at, but even in games, the 1600 is going to outperform the 2600 most of the time. In anything like encoding, editing, rendering, and even general windows tasks, the 1600 is going to smoke a 2600k

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    The problem you will run into is that you will need to upgrade the memory to DDR4 as well, and 16gb of DDR4 will cost nearly what a decent CPU/MB will cost. If you are set on upgrading though, I would highly recommend a Ryzen 1600, and a B350/B450 MB. If you live near a Microcenter you can pick...

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    On further inspection, I did find the CPU support list on gigabyte's website, and they do list support for the i7 3770k CPU on BIOS rev. F11 or newer. I wouldn't count on overclocking it though. Edit: Topweasel beat me to it.

    Can this CPU be upgraded?

    The Z68 chipset will support 2nd and 3rd gen Intel core processors. I think the fastest processor you could get would be an i7 3770k, which would be a pretty big upgrade if you could find a good used one. However, I'm not sure if that motherboard will support the i7 processors. The specs page...

    Oh My! First custom loop story

    Congrats on getting into custom liquid cooling. When is the funeral for your wallet? I don't think the EK kits are a bad deal at all. I picked up one of their 360mm kits last year for a system I was doing for a friend. Got the kit for $340 on sale, and it included a 360x38mm rad, D5 pump/res...

    US Case builder, CaseLabs bankrupt.

    That isn't how the supply of commodities like oil, steel, and aluminum work, but I'm not going to argue with you because it will be useless, so we just disagree on this which is fine.

    US Case builder, CaseLabs bankrupt.

    Yes, but with a commodity like aluminum, you don't just run out. There are many manufacturers, and probably several dozen brokers that distribute to smaller companies like Caselabs. We aren't talking about a specialty product that is only available from one or a couple of companies. There are...

    US Case builder, CaseLabs bankrupt.

    I'm not trying to get into an argument with anybody, just trying to share the perspective of someone who has experience with this sort of thing. I'm well aware of how tariffs and shortages affect pricing. I deal with purchasing a commodity on a daily bases, and while that product isn't...

    US Case builder, CaseLabs bankrupt.

    I still say it's very unlikely that the tariffs are the main (or even major) cause of this. Looking at the pricing of raw materials, even if the cost of raw aluminum was raised by 80%, we are only talking about something like $30-$40 in raw materials for their most expensive cases, and far less...

    NZXT CAM and CPU usage

    So I have been running into issues with 2 of my systems that I didn't realize were related until yesterday when I decided to drill down and get them fixed. The first issue was really high idle temps on my CPU. I have an 1800x and a 2700x system, both are running custom loop cooling, and both...

    US Case builder, CaseLabs bankrupt.

    Tariffs (at least the ones that Trump put in place) had nothing to do with Caselabs folding. A business like theirs doesn't run out of money in 2 weeks from a 25% tariff on raw materials. Honestly the difference on their largest cases couldn't have been more than $20-$30 in materials costs, and...

    2990wx watercooling try 2

    I'll second that recommendation on the Tower 900. It's really a great case that is easy for a beginner to work in, but will also allow more experienced water coolers to do some cool and interesting stuff, so it will grow with you if you want to continue to expand your water cooling skills. You...

    2990wx watercooling try 2

    That's why I recommended the EK configurator. It's really a pretty good tool for water cooling beginners. Yes if I have my choice, I'd go with an EK block, Alphacool rads, EK/Alpha pump/res, and Bitspower fittings or whatever, but that's a lot of work, and you need to know what you're looking...

    2990wx watercooling try 2

    Oh I forgot to mention, unless you go with aluminum components, any waterblock you buy from a reputable manufacture is going to be copper usually with nickle plating. On EK's site, the nickle is refering to the color/finish of the block. If it says nickle, it's nickle plated copper.

    2990wx watercooling try 2

    I would be pretty careful on the R6 about adding a 420mm at the top. It does technically support it, but you will run into issues with the VRM heatsink and memory clearance. I have an R6, and I couldn't get a 280mm AIO mounted at the top because of clearance issues with some pretty standard...

    2990wx watercooling try 2

    You might check out the EK Waterblock configurator tool: https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/ It will let you select the components you have (CPU/MB/GPU/Case), finding out what you want to do with the custom loop, and then give you a kit that's compatible with your case setup and...

    Need new monitor help.. tn vs ips as well

    One other thing I've noticed that seems to be exclusive with IPS panels, although I could be wrong, I've only seen this effect on IPS personally. Its the rounded edge effect. If you aren't far enough away from the screen the outside edges of the screen seem to curve back into the display, almost...

    New build, wanting to leave as small(ish) of a footprint as possible.

    If you're saying there aren't any x470 mATX boards, you may be correct. I don't think they have any available right now. I'm not sure, but I don't think they made any x370 mATX board ether, although I do know they made a couple of mITX boards. There were quite a few B350 mATX boards, and I...

    AIO cooler recs for 2700x pls!

    Yes, many people know about TR4/Threadripper and how most AIOs don't do a great job of cooling them. However Enermax has a great TR4 AIO cooler if you're looking for something for Threadripper. Other than those, I would suggest going with the Noctua air coolers, or go custom loop for your...

    AIO cooler recs for 2700x pls!

    This just isn't true. Intel and AMD's AM4 socket are both cooled equally well with any of the standard Asetek coolers, which include most of the AIOs from Corsair, EVGA, NZXT, and many other brands. The microfins cover the full die for both brands of processor, and the cold plate will cover the...

    Need a new CASE "maybe" mine is 14 years old.. suggestions ?

    Cases have moved to a more looks focus over the last decade, and that isn't a bad thing as long as they don't ignore the cooling. There are also many more silence focused cases these day. Way more people keep their systems sitting on the desk now, and don't care for a noisy fan blowing right by...

    ** Trying To Find The Right PC Case **

    I think you should probably just look for a good case without the RGB fans, and add them in separate. This will really expand your options. You could have something like a Fractal Meshify C, and a Corsair Lighting Node Pro + Fans. I think you are going to struggle to find a great case that also...

    New Nvidia cards incoming?

    Yes I know that. What I was pointing out is that for the last 3 months, the nvidia shoping page has had a "Notify Me" button where the "Add to Cart" is normally located, but now its listed as "Out of Stock". This is something new just started today. My observation is that this could be because...

    New Nvidia cards incoming?

    For anyone who has been paying attention, it seems to be going back and forth on an almost weekly bases as to weather Nvidia is releasing a new card soon or not. Current guesses are that we wont see a new card until Q3 at least. However, I was checking out nvidia.com this morning to see if I'm...

    Need help pickin the right one

    What games are you playing? The 1080 should run must games at 120fps, or close to it. You will probably not be able to run max settings on most games though. Having a 3440x1440 monitor, I will tell you they are awesome. I'd take the 24hz hit to get the increased res, and widescreen aspect.

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    Has anyone figured out why the 1080 has so much lower hashrate than the 1070, and 1070ti? My 1070ti is easily cranking 30Mh/s while my overclocked 1080 is hanging in around 23Mh/s. Kindof irritating.
