Realistically with that PSU capacity, GTX 1650 is the best it can do But if you want, you can do a bit make over by changing the Motherboard and CPU to B650 and Ryzen 8600G It is the best integrated GPU and powerful enough for budget gaming

8700 should be perfectly competent for a low profile 1650 or 6400 I think even a 3050 6gb low profile could work, 1080p right? 3050 6gb is only about 1.5x better than a 1650 which one out of these workstations is it? if it's the smallest one you won't be able to put in a dgpu

Bro is speaking fax. You have my support.

How about the fans? After 3 or so months, I started hearing harmonic resonance. Otherwise, quite happy so far. Oops, lift is 1.6 M not 1.5.

I will have a closer look later. It is a price step up, but given the total of everything so far isn't insignificant, I'll have to weigh what it brings for the cost. Do Fractal make a bunch of cases on the same frame with different cosmetics? Looks pretty similar without doing a side by side comparison. For now my provisional buy list is as follows. Nothing set in stone so feedback still welcome. If I order this afternoon I could potentially get all this tomorrow, although I'm not in any specific rush. It draws upon suggestions from this thread. All items are currently in stock from a combination of Scan + Amazon UK but I could optimise costs further with a little waiting and using more suppliers.

I can't speak to Storage Spaces, but the standard Disk Management RAID-5 is only available on Server builds of Windows.

HE400SE at ~75€ Sundara (closed back) at ~180€ The Sundara is usually above 300€, yet in Aliexpress HiFiMan official store they are now 178€. I wonder if there might be a catch? I bought my HE400SE in 2021 for 150€+ Links to Aliexpress needed? I'll add the link anyway. The prices seem to go up and down quite a lot it seems.

I got my hands on a old work PC for relatively cheap, it has a i7 8700 and 16 gb of ram (i'm going to purchase another stick to make it 32) This PC is going to be used for gaming but I've encountered 3 problems. Problem No. 1 the clearance isn't very large Problem No. 2 the power supply is only 210W Problem No. 3 The CPU will likely bottleneck something like the GTX 1650 Please suggest any GPUs that you think could work All specs for PC here: https://www.newegg.ca/lenovo-thinkcentre-m720t-business-desktops-workstations/p/1VH-006T-000A3

To check I was looking at the PS120SE, not PA120 anything. I'll stick to the PS120SE. Great I wasn't looking for lowest numerical timings, but talking about low latency in general. Looks aren't important as it wont be clearly visible. I will get the PS120SE unless there is a good reason to look at the PA120? As far as I can see the PS120SE has 7 heatpipes vs 6 of the PS120SE.

I built a 7800x3D and RTX 4080 build in January and had similar thoughts (a big focus for me being on rear I/O). May I recommend... https://pcpartpicker.com/product/R226Mp/asrock-b650e-taichi-lite-eatx-am5-motherboard-b650e-taichi-lite Price wise, this board made the most sense to me for all the featrues it has (or rather, that every single other board lacks (its actually cheaper now than when I bought it) For added context, I ended up with the Deepcool AK620 cooler mainly for aesthetic reasons over a cheaper but still performance option like the thermalrite's. I imagine it would work great. And before you ask what case I got...

I own a few.. of their coolers, boxes range from brown with info, to brown with more info, to glossy images and info, to glossy images and more info. I actually have the Aqua Elite, but its the same thing as the edge, and that other one with the 420 rad. Just different fans. Mine is coming up to 1 year old now, with about 9 months of hard use. Still works pretty good.. maybe I will try yours.

nu uh

Only reason s24 ultra performance even compares to apple performance is because of having double the ram. Cpu benchmarks don't show this off but every game comparison i've seen the s24 keeps up with the 15 pro max. Plus take into account the ram plus feature on samsung, not sure how much you can do on the s24 ultra.

I loved the single A12x25 I bought for my CPU cooler, but no one can deny the extreme value the P12's bring to the table. I'm super impressed with their quality for what you pay per fan, and cant think of any better bulk fan purchase a user could make to improve their airflow for the value.

I wonder why they put it on Notte & Magic, but not the Edge? Hmmm...Could it be the same reason that their website is sorely lacking in complete data?

(the below is for a 123W CPU, D15 is about 2 degrees worse) also the PA120SE is basically identical to the PA120 but it has exposed heat pipes and is slightly shorter 'high airflow atx cases' 903 MAX is basically the best you'll see for airflow. But I get aesthetics over performance (and north isn't even too bad for performance) that's also a good option. I might get the XL version of the North since it can fit a 360 rad up top and 420 up front I had a b550 gaming plus from msi, it was a great board. That is a different gen. afaik asus does give a longer bios update period so the b650e will be your best bet for an E board with long bios support then the vengeance 6000 CL30 kit you linked recently would be perfect for this use 5600 CL28 isn't going to be much better. It was slightly better at launch but 6000 Cl30 has become so common that I'm willing to bet it's become both more stable and better in performance do you like the looks of it? I personally do but it's all up to you Though since you're planning to use the North mesh I'm assuming it won't matter too much PA120SE is 10mm shorter than the D15 so that's also a reason to choose it

Neat. Mine just says 66.5cfm at 1500rpm lol. And 1.53mm H2whoa are those weak.

I have the headset, the 2nd gen, to be precise. People told me it sounds good. I have it plugged to the motherboard at back of PC with dual cable. Why adapter? Maybe it's not good. How is it quite, can be driven without amp.

Based on that, with as shipped ram, latency provides a bit of a benefit over higher latency in gaming. Ball park single digit % but can be more in some cases. I don't intend to min-max every last bit of performance but this seems to be low hanging fruit, in that higher latency doesn't make a significant difference to cost.

Yes mate it is thought it would look good maybe haha

1500 mL/min, 1.5M lift

No module not included nor the antennas I had to purchase separately just to fill the cut outs not that I use wifi but Bluetooth i do I suppose

Now there's one russian company who forgot they are financially based in the UK. Enjoy the consumer law smack down. During a livestream by a known tarkov player, landmark; the company was editing out the incriminating points he made from reading on their website. They just forgot about the internet archive clearly still showing their edits.
