I am out of budget so for now the 6500 os the best option for me.

Can confirm it's enough, mine keeps the 7800 at 75-80 under full core load without breaking the 60% PWM bar. Though it you're running a fishtank case and thus probably have aesthetic concerns, that's another matter altogether.

Cool thank you

More recent used thinkpads. A T480 is coffee lake stuff and has 2.5” sata and you can use a m.2 2242 sized nvme ssd in the wwan port or old workstations, the P50 is inexpensive these days but has 2 nvme slots and a 2.5” sata slot, or you can trade the two nvme slots for another 2.5” sata, though all that needs caddies or sata cables, which are added cost but they’re usually under $10 finding info on modern entry level machines is near impossible, they’re barely documented, like that motherboard I posted is a motherboard in the same model family as that, 1215u for 17” hp pavilions, because they use the same motherboard for dozens of different models but even HP doesn’t keep documentation on specific models like that, same applies to any of the oems with their basic machines most of the time these days, dual ssds are something really only found in gaming laptops some models which have 2.5” sata options still might have both sata and m.2, but not all of them

Just reseated the GPU, didn't work. Still the red blinking light, also forgot to mention, it makes a little beep sound when turning it off. This never happened before either, maybe it's from the HDD and I never noticed but maybe not...

The HP EliteDesk 800 G1 https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03832938 Is a Small Form Factor case. Which has space limitations. If you are going to upgrade the GPU and PSU, you might as well go with your idea to build a new computer rather then updating this older computer.

Good point. What would you recommend? I don't see your highlight.

From https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x670e-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/. Highlight is mine. "Ensure that all memory modules are from the same validated memory kit. Do not mix DIMMs from different memory kits—even if they are the same brand and model (e.g., two DIMMs each from two different memory kits). Mixing and matching DIMMs can result in a failure to boot and compatibility issues. In particular, the stability of a system with mixed DIMMs cannot be guaranteed when XMP (Intel)/D.O.C.P (AMD)/EXPO (AMD)/AEMP/AEMPII is enabled. For example, enabling XMP (Intel)/D.O.C.P (AMD)/EXPO (AMD)/AEMP/AEMPII to speeds above DDR5 4800MHz or above DDR4 3200MHz could result in an unstable system."

Everything in there is technically compatible, but there are a couple of issues: The motherboard is kinda bad. It doesn't matter that much as you're only running a 7600, but if you can spend an extra $10-15 on a better board that would be pretty helpful. If anything, use the stock cooler for a few months and use the money you saved there to get a better motherboard. 6400MT/s is a bit too fast for the Ryzen 7000. It would technically work, but you'd either be in 2:1 mode and get significantly worse performance than 6000 CL30, or it would be in 1:1 mode and be 50/50 whether it would be stable or not after an hour of tuning. Given a 6000 CL30 kit is slightly cheaper, go for that, and if you really want 6400MT/s overclock the 6000 CL30 kit to that speed yourself (every 6000 CL30 kit can do 6400 CL32). The 4060 Ti is a pretty terrible value for a GPU. There are only a handful of situations where it can make any amount of sense, and just a gaming system is not one of them. An RX 6750 XT is about the same price and a much faster GPU, go for that instead: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/m8QV89

Do you know of any laptops that have 2 m.2 slots that are relatively cheap? I don’t need anything big, tasks will be web browsing and looking through files.

I second your decision to build your own PC. The EliteDesk 800 G1 uses the 4th gen i5's and i7's and they definitely lack in power for modern gaming. It all depends on your budget really.

Hey guys! I built a computer for my son about a year ago and recently it's been freezing a lot no error, no way to go back to Windows, keyboard seems to lock up (caps, etc..) as well. specs: Ryzen 5 5600 silicon power 32gb ddr4 3200 Gigabyte B550M Aorus elite am4 MSI MAG A650BM 650W Mushkin m.2 1tb PCIe gen3 DIYPC MA08-BK Black USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower (huge mistake, terrible airflow) and RX 590 8G (this is the only part I bought second-hand, used) the freezes are fairly random, but I know for a fact when trying to play Fortnite, a bit after starting a session (dropping off the bus) it freezes. but my son mostly plays Roblox/Minecraft, seems like it happens in Roblox now, but not so much in Minecraft, and Im fear it's the graphics card, which is not a huge deal (rx590 is what? $60 now?) but can't really test it since I don't have any other graphics card.. is there any error log somewhere I can access to see what could have been the cause?

That explains why my GPU that I bought November last year had ongoing sales for several months, and nowadays it's completely out of stock.

yup everything's plugged in properly i tripped checked everything i've built so many pcs for people before and only ever had problems with mine lol. i'm stumped what it could be

I want a new GPU for my HP EliteDesk 800 G1, I'm going to upgrade my PSU to whatever the GPU needs for power, and connector wise, so I was wondering I anyone can give me a list of gpu's that will fit or work with my PC if not, I think it's time to consider to build my own.

You should be OK so long as you're comfortable running it on your laptop. I've crunched out some WUs on a Raspberry Pi 5. Here's the link to the LTT walkthrough on how to set it up your computer for BOINC

I will reseat the gpu first, then I'll try clearing cmos.

If you're going to include some bad, I think you also need some good. and there are PLENTY of accurate and decent scenes in MR Robot to do with code. Some not so also. BUt that would be my suggestion.

have you made sure they're plugged in properly?

all power cables on and plugged in. ik vga is gpu but the cpu light popped up for a second but didn't the first time could be because i reseated the cmos battery

CMOS clear clears bios memory, which just resets it to default settings (disables XMP on ram for example)

VGA is GPU, try reseating it if you haven't already, and check the power cables

Not really, you could cut some costs on some parts if you care, for 7800x3D a 30$ TR PA120 SE cooler could work, for fans you don't need to buy in singles, you can buy packs, unless you already have the fans and just listed them in the build, you don't need expensive MB either, unless you're looking for some specific features, you can use the H6 flow NZXT case, it's pretty good, (I listed corsair because it's decent and cheaper) Samsung is also good SSD, again listead cheaper which still has DRAM cache, not sure about my AIO choice but it should be capable and quiet enough, or at least decently, you wanna get 2 sticks of RAM instead of 4 for performance, also 2x32 is cheaper than 4x16, you can also get 6000Mhz 30CL ram instead what I have in the list (or try to tune the 5600MHz 28CL ram) for personal use cheaper windows keys are an option, but grey area legal so I left the windows on the list: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor ($381.76 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

So is there a specific software I need, minimum specs on my PC , will a gaming laptop be fine( 11th Gen i7 rtx3050)?
