Can you saw through and separate the two pieces with something like a guitar string?

1 computer is probably better, but depends on your exact goals. Lot of options, probably used office pc or other low power system is the way to go unless you want a rack server for some reason. How much usable storage do you need? Basic plex and jellyfin will run on almost any semi moden system so really depends on yoru exact needs.

Also the case has no airflow. Like full solid front and barely a slit on the side. So massively advised to get a case that will actually allow them to cool the pc instead of this hotbox. a versa h15 as old as it is is mesh and will allow for proper cooling at least for the same price.

How much storage do you need? ~4 16TB HDDs (48TB usable with RaidZ1) would already max your budged. Smaller drives are worse TB/$ and smaller pools make imho no sense with parity. I personally have my NAS and application server separate. Makes it much easier to tinker with one without also disrupting the other. Also gives you more software options and makes it easier to change software. My NAS was running OMV and I recently migrated to TrueNAS, while most of my applications (everything that didn't need the NAS) could keep running on the other server. Combining the NAS and server would be cheaper though. You can always change it later. IPMI is very convenient. If you go with a used server platform, you should get it. Something like the Supermicro X10 series is pretty cheap on ebay and has more than enough performance for a pure NAS. It should also handle most applications, if you combine the servers. The idle power consumption (the only important metric for most home servers!) for these older chips isn't that much higher than current chips, but the IPMI adds some 10w. Some modern chips (Ryzen) have much higher idle power consumption (because chiplets). I wouldn't go older than that. Only get a barebones kit though (MB, CPU, RAM), you don't want server fans in your house.

Honestly yeah just save up and start over. I assume you have the tower else well you can't even do the psu upgrade that will fit in the case. Even then if it already has an i7 in it it's going to be quite behind in terms of performance. What is the budget? Technically you can make anything fit really.

Did these fans and controller come with your case? If so it might be helpful to list what type of case this is? If not it might be helpful to list what type of fans these are? Or perhaps some pictures.

I had the same problem with only one NVMe drive being detected so I contacted their support. They said to update the kernel and now it works fine. Open media vault now detects both drives just fine.

I would honestly advice against going itx if it is not needed. It has an impact on the budget and cooling of this rig. As well as limiting potential hardware. This case is also just the size of a matx chassis but a bit thinner. If you want a case you can put the monitor on like this one they exist in matx and atx format which would allow for proper cooling and potentially better hardware A 6800xt class gpu is simply put in budget if you choose to go for a matx sized pc. Else well the cooler just can't handle that cpu at all even the best possible one is going to have a decently hard time. Otherwise it's a decent build.

Ryzen 5600 does NOT have iGPU. The HDMI / DP ports on the motherboard does nothing. @Dixel if you can borrow another graphics card or something, to rule out a faulty GPU. The Red LEDs on the XFX graphics card only comes on during two possible scenarios: PCI-E power cable not connected / missing Voltage through the connector is too low (e.g. PSU / connector issue) So the other item to check is the PSU - see if that has started to go bad, etc.

plumbers coming to your house aint free. you think they would waste gas and hours of their day to drive to your house when they could be billing $100 per hour fixing another customer's pipes? there is a mismatch between supply and demand in the labor market for sure. we have enough gender studies PhD lecturing us on why men can be women and women can be men.

There is a possibility that the PCI-E X16 slot may be damaged, too. You'll have to get a friend or a shop to help check each component (e.g. CPU, RAM, GPU, etc).

Good looking list! I only have 2 suggestions: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3fGfL9 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-Core Processor ($297.10 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S 55.44 CFM CPU Cooler ($64.90 @ Amazon) - Much, much more capable cooler than the L9. If you cannot stand the fan, get the Chromax version (the fan is the NF-A12x15 if you want to search it up). You want the absolute best cooler you can fit in an SFF build as it's always a limiting factor for anything above low-end hardware. Motherboard: ASRock B650I Lightning Wifi Mini ITX AM5 Motherboard ($199.99 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($104.99 @ Amazon) - Better timings, same speed, same price, still a clean and low-profile cooler design. Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($81.00 @ Walmart) Video Card: XFX Speedster SWFT 309 Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card ($329.95 @ Amazon) Case: Fractal Design Ridge PCIe 4.0 Mini ITX Tower Case ($129.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS SGX (2021) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply ($109.99 @ Amazon) Case Fan: Noctua A14 PWM chromax.black.swap 82.52 CFM 140 mm Fan ($26.95 @ Amazon) Case Fan: Noctua A14 PWM chromax.black.swap 82.52 CFM 140 mm Fan ($26.95 @ Amazon) Total: $1371.81 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-04-26 19:38 EDT-0400 And one note: Double-check that you can fit those NF-A14s in with the GPU. They are 25mm thick (frame) and 1-2mm thicker than that with the rubber sound-dampening corner pieces, so you need to have ~30-32mm clearance from the GPU (as you don't want the fans rubbing anywhere if case clearance is slightly off). Though if you want the best noise vs performance fan Noctua makes, then look at the NF-A12x25 (specifically the x25 version, not any other NF-A12 variant). They make a Chromax version of it as well now, it's a little more expensive but it is the best fan they have. They've never come out with a 140mm version because they could not get a 140mm fan to perform better than it. It will have the same vertical clearance concerns as the A14s though, ~26-27mm thick with the sound dampening corner bits.

I just jumped the clear CMOS, still nothing and btw forgot to mention, my monitor blinks blue which the manual says there is no display output and the monitor is sleeping. In a normal day, this happens when I turn off the computer and the monitor automatically goes to sleep. Gonna try to look up some tutorials.

Budget (including currency): $1400 USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cities: Skylines 2, Jedi: Survivor, Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, and light coding work (full stack dev but I use a M1 MBP for 95% of my personal projects, freelancing, etc.) Other details I don’t plan on changing my peripherals - I have a 27” 1440p 180hz Samsung monitor, 65” Vizio M-series quantum 4K TV, ergonomic Logitech mouse and keyboard. I have a 4 TB NAS that is only ~15% full at 4 years old. Hello! I have been loyal to PlayStation and Nintendo through my lifetime but really loved Cities: Skylines’ potential on a friend’s PC and can’t run away from PC gaming anymore I don’t care much for DLSS or first person shooters, do not need to scale up to 4k either. I just want a solid performance PC that will run AAA games like the ones above at 1440p for a few years. Have researched different form factors and love the Fractal Ridge Design case, so really want a clean and minimal build that can handle the resolution. I did see that Cities: Skylines 2 has a recommended spec of RTX 3080 (10 GB) | 6800 XT (16 GB). I didn’t want to blow this budget on the GPU alone but am accepting of the fact that I may have to update GPU down the road. Where I’m completely clueless is GPU and CPU compatibility across different generations and vendors. I might be undershooting the RAM specs too, but I just want to make sure this will work well together. I’m still learning (thank you LTT for your last guide ever!!) and am open to recommendations/changes to the build below. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yk8KTY

Hey all, just one quick update this week. MSI We had a community member have some issues with quality control and the RMA process with MSI. Initially, the mainboard did not boot, and several essential ports did not work even after returning it. Even after two more returns, more problems arose than solutions. OP followed the proper procedures when trying to communicate with MSI and still doesn’t have a working board. Our team has reached out to OP. While we primarily work with MSI US, we’re going to see if we can still assist in finding someone who can actually help OP. Normally I’d say enjoy tonight’s WAN Show, but we did it early today. So we hope you all have a great weekend, and we’ll be back next week.

my pc came with 8 gb of ram so i decided to buy 16gb more of ram (different company but same mhz) and my computer says i have 24 gb of ram but it just seems weird that opera gx is using 32% of my ram but is only using 1011 mb of ram. not sure whats wrong but some help would be nice

yeah reseated everything cables compant's ect. still has the vga light i'm guessing because i have a new gpu i think the motherboard has been fried maybe just the pci port probably the whole thing. just makes no sense that it still powers on just isn't putting anyrbint out

i think it's fried my motherboard too tbh.... new gpu and still not working

There is a clear cmos jumper which I will try in a moment. There isn't a EZ Debug light on my motherboard.

You can get an Display Port or whatever to HDMI adapter or cable at your local Electronics store. Your GPU may be the issue. Usually it would show an EZ Debug light for VGA on the motherboard as pictures in previous post. If all fails, CLEAR_CMOS, some models have a Button on the back next to the PSU. Others you may have to remove a jumper pin on the motherboard, then replace it.

Thanks everyone for your input. I like this list. Good recommendation on the 14700k. Great AIO cooling & MB.

It appears you are stuck with commercial use of the computers concerned. You do use the word "Linux" near the start and for those of us not "stuck" with commercial integration but handle domestic users, it appears we are the lucky ones. Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop and FREE, powerful, reliable, logical computing. Yes, well over a hundred installations so I do have a little bit of experience. Some of these have been done to save users from MS disaster such as wiped machines and non-logical operation, etc. As for the mention of Windows 7, tearing more hair out the other day to get things working and Firefox the only browser it admitted to, eventually. LibreOffice fixed the other problem.
