My current homeserver solution is no longer sufficient. I am currently running all my services (plex, backup, nextcloud, webserver, ...) on a 10yo Laptop. Even though the cpu is still fast enough, the IO is limiting me: I want multigigabit (or best case 10gbit) instead of gigabit I need more storage - thinking about 18x4 zfs raid-z1 + 2TB SSD Currently I am using 8GB of RAM which is limiting me, 32GB would be nice. I can get a very nice 4yo gaming PC with intel 5930k and a very suitable case for around 350€ used which sounds like a killer deal - I'd only have to purchase the 4 18TB drives. But my current setup only uses around 20W, this should be around 80W just in idle (it will be on idle around 95% of the time). Since power is pretty expensive in Germany, this would be over 200€ per year, probably around 300€ just for the power - so spending a little more for some more power efficient hardware seems logical. I don't want to get some NAS-solution like Synology, I like to have full control over my Linux-Server I've thought about some ARM solution, but I can't find anything with multigigabit and SATA for a reasonable price Any Ideas?

wow thanks, I was sure the 3000 series was the latest supported on x370 boards - which seems true on the first look since the 4000 series is not supported. Now I only have to decide between the 5800x3d and the 5900x - probably going with the 5900x for the extra cores since I'm working a lot more than gaming on my PC and the FPS difference should be very minor in 4k.

3000 series is the latest that my mb supports - and if I upgrade the mb, I'll upgrade everything.

Hi, I know that this question cannot really be answered by anyone but me, I just need to "think out loud" and maybe someone wants to add something. I am currently using an AMD 1700 which I am using 90% of the time for office work and 10% of the time for gaming. I upgraded my GPU last year to a 2080 and even though my CPU is ancient by now, I never got the feeling of my PC being "too slow": I am running Elden Ring at 4k resolution without noticing problems, maybe my VR games (Valve Index) could run a little bit faster - it is still running at over 120FPS on most games. I am using a lot of Microsoft products for work and I am actually liking Windows 11 on my Laptop more and more by the day so I'd like to upgrade on my PC too - my 1700 is not supported though. So I could go one of two routes: * Just upgrading the CPU to a 3800X for around 200€ * Upgrading my entire PC (MB, CPU, RAM, SSD), which will cost me around 1500€ and recycling my old system to upgrade my NAS, which may or may not lead to further investments into larger drives (~1000-2000€) I doubt the full upgrade will show in my day to day usage, my PC is already blazing fast even though its 6 years old. Maybe I can justify the upgrade with my VR games running smoother on a current gen CPU rather than the 3800X? Or is there a lot of power saving on idle that could be "worth it"?

the m-series does have a much lower support lifetime which is why I wanted to go with the A-series. I'll look into the Redmi-Series though.

My grandmother needs a new Smartphone. These are the requirements: Cheap (should be below 300€) Long battery life Long security support (main reason for not going with a used one) Ability to turn the phone red (should be possible with most mainstream phones with cases) No ads or some other bs (or atleast the ability to turn it off) Other specs are pretty irrelevant, she uses this to text and use online banking, so every SOC / camera out there should do the job. I am currently thinking of getting her some low end Samsung A-series phone (popular enough for a big range of cases and long software support). Is there something even better out there regarding those requirements?

Problem solved: I did a complete reinstall of my GPU drivers and the problem went away. This is pretty strange for me since both other displays were not affected but I'm happy that it seems solved.

I have an ASUS MG279q WQHD 144hz Monitor which has been working fine for the last 6 years. This week it started to go black for 1-2 seconds every time a lot of stuff happens on screen like maximizing a window. The issue goes away when I go down to 60hz, it still exists at 120. I thought it would be the display cable but I changed that today with no difference. I have two other monitors connected (one 1080p60hz and one 4k60) driven by a 2080. Both other displays do not seem to have any problems. Any advice as to what I could try? I really liked this monitor and would like to try everything before tossing it. EDIT: It also seems to happen at 60hz, just less often...

thanks a lot, with that knowledge I'm realy lookig forward to my C1# I guess the C2 will be as bright as the G1 which already uses EVO and according to the reviews I saw it did not matter that much. The C1 is getting very cheap right now (around 1000€ for the 55" compaired to 2000€ at launch) and I need the TV in a few months. C2 won't come even close until then.

since the LG B1 / C1 / G1 is a very popular TV series I was hoping on someone having those hand on experience

that's why I was asking about the "intelligence" of HDMI. If the image is only 60hz, full Chroma 4:4:4 would be possible. And since it has variable refresh rate I was hoping it would switch to 4:4:4 for slow content.

i'm trying to decide whether I should buy the current LG C1 or wait for the C2. Main deciding factor would be the HDMI Port: the old one uses HDMI2.1 with 40GBps, the new one will have 48Gbps. Because of this the C1 can only use 120hz with 4:2:2, the C2 will be able to do 4:4:4. So my question is: how much of a difference does this make? Is HDMI "intelligent" enough to use 4:4:4 if the source material does not send that much data or would I need to manually switch between 60hz and 120hz if I want 4:4:4? I can't imagine that it does not make a difference to have 4:2:2 while reading text or something.

thanks a lot. Lighting is no problem in this room. I'll be on the lookout for C1 TVs in the next months.

I've been using my Galaxy Watch 1 since 2019 and I love having one hand selected notifications on my wrist ability to find my smartphone measuring my heart rate during training having multiple timers on my watch Since then, I've been interested in what other cool things will be possible with smart watches and I never saw anything: Battery life seems pretty stable with around 2 days using always-on-display (which I need and still have on my 2019 watch) most watches only use touch, I like using my rotating bezel a lot more Useless very inaccurate body composition measurement tools responsiveness has never been an issue even on my "old" watch, so better performance does not matter Have I missed any cool new smartwatch features in the last 3 years?
