i wouldn't call that "stealth" i would all it "long game sum" or "the compiled mountain" "stealth" is a full blackout no RGB "stealth" is premium parts packed into a old windows95 tower "stealth" is a mini ITX build that's super high performance and portable this is just a workstation beast.

i assumed a lot of those drives were brought over from previous builds. like those ketchup and mustard sata cables.

what is "stealth" about this?

dude. you should just ditch molex fans. how did you even get molex fans with RGB?

you fill my heart with envy.

don't even bother for 20$ if you have integrated use that. if you don't and need a GPU you made some mistakes.

I FEEL THAT. just paid way too much for the corsair SF450 and i don't think it's enough for my 2070S and i7-7700k if i add some sata drives. i'm used to much higher power overhead and the 600W version was sold out.

correct, but i stand with you in solidarity.

i'm left wanting as well.

if you're getting a great deal on it maybe. upgrades are stressful because they cost hard earned money and require tough decisions to navigate "skill tree" of hardware

do you have the partnumber for it? if not you should be able to find it in BIOS. look up the partnumber and find the stock timings, then set everything to stock manually.

check out this thread about that m.2 obviously this guy is using USB enclosures though.

yeah you might. intel likes to change chipset support every generation to make you buy a new motherboard. at least they've held on to the current socket for a while. not that it matters if you require a new chipset.

follow my link the sabrent is cheaper and offers more IOPs than that intel. do a compare on newegg. plus the sabrent uses TLC instead of QLC, which is generally more preferable due to it's longer life Sabrent Intel 4K random read: Up to 350,000 IOPS Up to 90,000 IOP 4K random Write: Up to 450,000 IOPS Up to 220,000 IOPS

i'd enter the timings that your sticks show at stock, and freq to stock, then bump frequency incrementally as needed. user beware, overvolt if you dare. (as a noob don't overvolt)

10th gen is releasing like right now spec are already up on intel ARK. laptops are already shipping with mobile 10th gen cores.

A GPU gets it's instructions from the CPU, so the CPU can't be slowed down by a GPU. a CPU can however be slowed down by a slow HDD, or slow RAM. going with an NVMe m.2 is a great choice, just make sure your m.2 isn't a SATA one. try this instead of the intel one: https://www.newegg.com/sabrent-rocket-nvme-512gb/p/0D9-00JJ-00001 you should put the extra money into your motherboard if you want more features. I find a lot of people want Wifi and USB-C now and the board you picked is pretty..... "budget" you can always get a better GPU if you plan on gaming or doing video editing later.

what motherboard are you using? have you tried turning the XMP off and manually dialing it to 2400?

if you're not going to use the GPU why would it bottleneck the system? bottle necking is what people use to refer to a low end CPU that can't process fast enough to keep up with the GPU. if you're not going to use the GPU perhaps consider any variant other than the "F" The "F" does not have onboard graphics and if you slot it you can't use any video outputs on the motherboard you put the "F" CPU in. You can use the HDMI on the motherboard instead of a GPU. if all you're doing is making music with a single monitor, you don't even need a GPU see this link to compare all the different i7-9700 models: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=191792,195306,193738,186604 of note, you can't buy the 'E' version, as it's enterprise sold to OEMs and not for commercial resell. but i put it in there for giggles.

I understand TDP, however, i do not understand why AMD would publish a LOWER rating for a higher tier CPU and a HIGHER rated for a lower tier CPU

check your BIOS?

how is it that the 3600x has a TDP of 95W https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600x but the 3700x has a TDP of 65W? https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-3700x the 3600 coomes with the wraith stealth cooler meant for 65W TPD, the 3600x comes with the Spire, and the 3700x comes with the Prism. I assume the Spire and Prism are rated for 95W and 105W respectively. why would AMD list the 3700x as a 65W TPD? does anyone have this CPU that could show me some stats? CPU-ID? personal heat tests? I want to put this in an ITX rig with a Noctua l9a cooler, but the l9a only supports 65W TDP. what's the chances this will even remotely work? i'm doubtful. I do not understand why AMD would publish a LOWER rating for a higher tier CPU and a HIGHER rating for a lower tier CPU

ground issues don't always happen the moment you turn it on. sometimes it's when you plug the port, sometimes it's a computer freeze, other times a full black shutdown. your issue may be with a USB port on the back IO from the motherboard itself.

what motherboard do you have? you said it started when you plugged in your headset? do you always plug it in the same USB port? or do you plug it into a 3.5mm port? I think you probably have a grounding issue on your motherboard. find the port, then stop using it or get a rubber plug for it.

i'd pick the 3600MHz ram. higher RAM speed works better for ryzen. people say 3600 is the sweet spot, but 3200 is a good value spot. XMP profiles don't guarantee overclocking stability.
