Android phones allow you to run any programs on your phone

Great ! That's more or less the build I wanted to get by end 23, now got some more dough so will go full blast 7950X3D/X670E Strix or Aorus Master, because why not ? But am on vacation next week so will do it by mid may...

Just buy an android

You can, it's just unsupported. Those drives you chose are definitely not a great idea. there are 4TB WD Blues for 75$, but with current $/TB rates, your best bang for buck is in the 8-10TB range

Is there a reliable method of determining speaker polarity via a multimeter or other tool? I use Sansui S-3000-2 compression horns to build quarter-scale replicas of Voice of the Theatre cabinets. Only issue is, the horn has two wires - blue and black - but the terminal the black wire connects to is marked with red paint on the speaker. As such, I am not sure if the black wire or the blue wire is the positive, so I'd like to confirm for sure. I could pull the back off the horn assembly and look inside, but due to the extremely fragile nature of tiny compression drivers' guts, I would be afraid to snap a tiny wire or tear the diaphragm somehow.

Yeah it's a pretty good build for this budget, even better when you use Linux on it

The order is in! I did go with what I listed previously with one change: SN850X replaced with 990 Pro. I'd have to wait 2 more days for the WD, but the Samsung is available right now and I found it at a lower cost than shown on PCPP so it was very close. I can't mark everyone's post as the solution but main credit goes to @PDifolco and @filpo for the parts I did go with. Now can tomorrow hurry up? I got a build to do!

Simplest answer: spin up truenas and see if you like it. If you don't get an unraid license

Welcome to the forums! Looks great

So...it's fixed? It's booting? I'd def do a memtest

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tfpgfy will be used with arch linux 64 bit for light to mid tier gaming, some coding and general web browsing will everything work? should i change something? (im scared) also, the case: idk just picked smt cheap, do i need a bigger case?

That’s fine, repaste it if you want, but both those temps are fine for a 750ti. i speak as someone with more than a few 750ti’s

Well there's your problem. 4x16GB is very hit or miss, especially when all 4 sticks were not bought at the same time in a low speed bin where Corsair can change what IC is on the sticks at any given moment (the same model number != the same kit). You're lucky that the system will even boot at all right now. Pull all the sticks out and look what the version number is across all four sticks (this will say something like ver. 3.43.01), as that will give some odds as to whether it will be possible to get this working at high speeds or not. Assuming they're all the same version and Corsair didn't do anything weird like making the kits dual rank for some reason (this would mean that 4400-4800 is about the most you could hope for), there are some things you can do to attempt to get higher speeds to work like playing with BIOS revisions and tuning IMC parameters, but don't expect it to just work. If you really need 64GB of RAM, return both kits and get a 2x32GB kit instead.

Yeah, there's an air pocket/some thermal paste where it doesn't even touch the dye/die/the thing.

Yeah, then there isn't much need indeed. Oh, but do you live nearby any, or do you have a friend with a USB 4 mobo? I've seen some reports of TB4 docks working, but I'd rather err on the cautious side. The point is that (afaik) there are no AM5 mobos with official thunderbolt support, even though they actually have a TB4 controller. Another weird fact is that it seems that there are only 2 small mobos that have proper USB4, one being a really high end Asus Strix Gene, and the other being the x670 version of the ITX mobo you picked. I'm not sure how well the dock would go with USB 3.2, I think it should be fine since your two displays are not that hard to push and 20Gbps should be more than enough, but I can't be sure since I've never tried it myself. After double checking the USB4 stuff I said above, I guess it'd be better to just go with a larger-ish case and try out the dock to see if you really need some specific motherboard, or if any USB 3.2 one will do (in which case your selection becomes way easier).

So, it's better, alot better Thank you so much for the help bro, it was a really bad bad thermal paste placement/bad contact i wiped and applied a new one,

Okay. Thanks.

Ok thanks

no the gpu is probably fine. it probably has more to do with a minor software inconsistency with your specific combination of hardware which results in........ an overly specific glitch that can only be seen by spamming the windows key. something small like a driver / bios / windows update is either to blame or is the solution for it. your gpu would need to be freaking out a lot more than that in regular usage to actually have a hardware fault.

I don't remember how long I've been a mod

your gpu temps are fine. It probably has more to do with the relationship between the software and age of the hardware. More than likely the game is expecting more cpu/ram/drive speed than you actually have and is resulting in hitches. while the game can run at 120fps in specific instances , not every aspect of the game can operate quickly on older hardware so the machine will have to play catch up every now and then.
