  2. You want DDR5-6000 CL30, not CL36. Here's a better case, especially if using an AIO along with a few cost cutters.

I plan to build a NAS storage device. Budget (including currency): $1800.00 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video editing, coding,Cities Skylines2 and Titanic: Honor and Glory Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
  4. i guess you could have a usb one and an hdmi to sd one.
  5. i know the primaries dont give that much of a performance bump but damn thats pretty depressing considering cl loves to gobble voltage though i assume benchmarks like spi will probably still show a slight diff im curious if higher freq will show a bigger difference between loose and tight primaries, maybe it isnt noticable at 3800 but maybe its noticable at 4800?

    The male end can be the female end if you push…

    The longer I look at it, the more I hate it.
  7. Do you see anywhere I could potentially save money and or improve the looks at all? I've also found this $4000 target build which looks to be similar but a few hundred cheaper https://pyronic.al/
  8. Average Nerd

    It has been nonstop cold with snow and rain for…

    It's set to get warmer here as well, though peak temperature is more like 25°C. I might still end up with an insurviveable room, because my folding rig is dumping 500W of heat into it for 16 hours per day.
  9. That's basically all that matters to a company. Does it sell and does it make more money than it cost to make? Would Intel prefer a sale that includes both their CPU and GPU? Sure, more money for them. But if that doesn't sell, a machine with an Intel CPU and a competitors GPU is still better than no sale. Likewise AMD would certainly prefer an all-AMD laptop, but a laptop with their CPU and an Intel or Nvidia GPU is preferable to a laptop with no AMD parts in it whatsoever.
  10. After a quick looksie, all of those dump files point to Bugcheck codes that are quite often seen with memory instability, and seeing as that pcpartpicker list has 6400MT/s RAM for a Ryzen 7700X, I wouldn't be surprised if it has memory instability (assuming you have EXPO/XMP enabled). 6400 is above the typical "plug and play" speed of 6000 of most Ryzen 7000 CPUs, and many won't do 6400 (in 1:1 mode) even with manual tuning. If EXPO/XMP is enabled, disable it and see if the crashing stops. For refrence the BSOD codes from those dumps in a random order are PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
  11. the intel build looks perfect, only thing i would change is get a 14700kf to ditch the igpu unless you need it, and lower latency ram, like 30 or 32 but even then its not going to matter much.
  12. As mentioned previously, I'd gotten an SMS from the game shop downstairs, collected my personal GOTY.... Installed it, but had no time to play except a brief run thru the first few minutes, runs perfectly smooth....going out now for lunch with my bud....on him of course.
  13. cooler master had a case like that a lot of case had it but did it really work or help same with mb armor they clamed better air flow but it was fake and had to add fans to make it like a mb with out armor...
  14. So far I'm only having this issue in Helldivers 2. RTX 4070 latest drivers, no temp issues, even purged the shader cache. Basically everything seems to run fine but maybe 1-2 times per match (that I notice) I get these horizontal black lines pop up. Usually only for a frame or 2 at a time. It's not a major issue but I don't understand what it is and it's quite distracting sometimes. Usually only covers part of the screen, never reaches the whole way across it. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this. I saw suggestions for another game that it might be an HBAO issue but I could only select to turn off SSAO in Helldivers 2's menu and it didn't fix the problem. Again, no issues in intensive 3Dmark stuff, or other games, this is the first time I've noticed it anywhere. Any help or fix suggestions, would be appreciated. There's a couple other people on reddit / steam who've noticed it, but not many. SPECS: R7 5800X3D 32GB DDR4-3200 ROG Strix B550-A Asus Dual RTX 4070 Corsair RM750x Power Supply Windows 11 Home
  15. Yeah, I recommend a clean reinstall. Back up your personal files before you format your boot drive, but nothing that you downloaded from the internet, so you don't accidentally back the malware up. As for how to do a clean reinstall, there are guides for that online. If you want to be absolutely sure that the malware is gone, you can also completely replace the boot drive and destroy the old one instead of formatting, but I think secure erasing it should be enough.
  16. Hey i dont have this problem but after i install windows my ssd running in that pic when i post it bcs my disk its gpt
  17. Yes it works. I had an old pc. Runing i7 3770k Gigabyte ud3h Able to use this as boot drive as well. But I recall there some issue in setting which need to config before it shows as drive. I cant recall already. My advice is, use data ssd instead. The extra pcie lanes u can upgrade other things like network card, or video capture in future. If day to day basis. U are not really getting to make full use as u are not downloading and uploading big files every single task u are doing. This is my opinion only.
  18. Hello everyone I try to install windows 10 but after install show this problem to me i try in gpt and mbr but gpt didnt work bcs my disk is mbr but when i install in mbr after windows installed show this problem i try to disable cms but disk isnt in the list but when i install in mbr i have this problem plssss help me(i tried in 2 ssd
  19. Yes it will work, as listed on the Mobo's manual (reference as below) If it mentions support "x4" on the PCIE3 (this is the secondary slot for PCIE, since I'm assuming you're plugging your GPU on the PCIE1 based on the manual), it means it support the requirement of NVME boot disk, (or even to do basic work as storage) P.S. Most PCIe expansion slot is so versatile, it can do almost anything that your motherboard couldn't do (especially on the older model of mobo). Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth, USB3 expansion, High speed Gigabit Ethernet, Sound card, multiple GPU, heck even RGB and Fan header hub is possible.
  20. I appreciate the advice I think I’ve decided I’m going to stick with unraid for now like everyone has been saying it seems to be the easiest route for learning without loosing everything. Do you happen to know a good place to learn everything about using unraid and docker/other apps. I was worried about unraid at first but since I removed the HDD from the system and now I’m just using a 2tb parity ssd and a identical 2tb ssd for the main array it has been working relatively smoothly. Thankfully the ssds are relatively current and still easy to purchase moving forward. Should I maintain 2tb versions of the same ssd in the future? Or can I as I increase the array change the sizes of the ssds and/or brands?
  21. Hi everyone, I'm looking to build a new PC and whilst I've spent a lot of time on NZPartpicker and talking to stores, I'm struggling to come up with a build I like that fits within my budget and I was hoping someone here could assist. Budget: $3500 - 4400 New Zealand Dollars Country: New Zealand Games: Microsoft Flight Simulator, Halo, Skyrim and to hopefully be future proof for anything coming in the next 5-7 years as I don't upgrade often. Other activities: Blender, Video Editing, I want the PC to be good enough to handle intense Handbrake crunching as my NAS isn't the biggest so I always spend time compressing videos. I'd like to do some streaming as well. Other details: Functionality comes first of course but I'd like it to look nice as well if possible. I'm pretty set on a 4080 super. I'm not 100% on the CPU. My friends at NZASimulations state that MSFS doesn't play nice with the 7800X and to pick up the 14700K and I've never been overly knowledgeable about CPU coolers or motherboards, I would like to bring over some of my storage into the new build and this will be connected to two 4K monitors. Here's what I have so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Krispkiwi/saved/QTsKpg, this has served me well but the 1070 and 6700K are showing their age with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here's the potential Intel build I have: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Krispkiwi/saved/6FqVBm and AMD build: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Krispkiwi/saved/FFTVBm
  22. I just tried that, every slot is working and is detecting every stick Just a correction it's 24gb 3x8gb I just saw what was available on the computer. But its 2 one sitck is diferent from the others
  23. I’ve experimented with the Airflow version of this case (same mesh front as yours, just without the Corsair RGB fans) & 5600X/6700XT combo & found 3 intake & 2 exhausts work best in terms of temps (across the whole motherboard) & noise. Less fans doesn’t necessarily mean less noise, as they may be forced to spin at higher revs to maintain the same temps, so you need to find that balance of fan noise, fan quantity & fan curve. This is the best config I came up with after some testing… You can ignore the top-front intake fan as it’s only there for the extreme warmer times of the year & only turns on when temps get very high, but it’s not needed for most setups. If you have matched, dual CPU fans, then it should be a little better than my single CPU fan setup, but 3 intake in the front, with 2 exhaust on the rear & top-rear should be enough…
  24. It's alot better. But sometimes it runing cpu high when idling. My task manger now kept close by itself.
