Rest of the build is pretty basic. Asus Z690 TUF Board 32GB DDR4 1TB 980 PRO SSD

Budget (including currency): EUR 4000 Country: Belgium Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming Other details 3440x1440@144hz Hi, I've just put together a config for a buddy and they did not agree with my setup. I went for a i7-12700K and a RTX 3080 Strix. However he did not agree and wanted to go for the i5-12600K along with an RTX 3090. Pricing: i7-12700K: €499 RTX 3080 Strix: €949 i5-12600K: €349 RTX 3090 ~€1500 I feel like my config with the i7 and the 3080 is way more balanced then their config with an i5. It seems way of to me to put an i5 in a PC with an RTX 3090. However the system will basically 90% be used for gaming. Do y'all have any tips / suggestions?

Call me a fanboy but I still have more trust in my Intel chip then I could ever have with current gen Ryzen. It's probably false but the "safe" feeling is worth it for me

In terms of performance, probaby. But for my personal rig I opted for an AIO because it just looks WAY better

I still prefer Intel over AMD in 2021

Welp, I built it

A 5800x/5900x are more expensive here € (500/650) (idk why) and they seem to be very comparable performance wise. The ram costs the same as the 'slower' variant. It should still work right? just at slower speed.

Budget (including currency): € 1000 - € 2000 (VAT / BTW incl.) Country: BE (Items must be bought at alternate.be) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sysadmin PC (Vm's, containers, programming etc...) Also light gaming (Gamestream to Shield Pro) Any feedback on this setup? I'm keeping my STRIX 1060 6GB for the moment since I cannot get my hands on any nvidia gpu. (I need gamestream). I will be swapping that out with a RTX 3060Ti or 3070 when prices come down and they are restocked.

works like a charm on my internet in BE - EU

Normally every airline has a policy regarding "special cargo" mostly used for skies and other sports equipement. You can always ask though

I don't own any of these, but I have more trust in google in terms of reliability and adding features

Step 1) Fix that GPU sag Step 2) Install windows Step 3) I personally do not overclock a PC when it's brand new. Just get set up with the software you use and feel free to install games. Overlclocking is mostly done to get some extra performance out of old hardware

My asus STRIX 1060 only starts spinning the fans at 55 C. And since it has a beefy heatsink I can play a lot of games without enabling the fans. Try playing for a little while keeping an eye on the card temp. It should not exceed 60 C without fans.

Can you restart your PC and look at the fan at the same time. Normally every card SHOULD spin it's fan for at least 2-3 seconds on boot. What card do you have? Check that please

Something like this would work, if you're willing to pay the premium for such an old board https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Media-Series-Desktop-Board-MicroATX-LGA-1155-Socket-H2-DDR3-HDMI-DH67GD/331536724999?epid=127396757&hash=item4d3120f407:g:liUAAOSwrklVOEMN:rk:8:pf:0

First of all, some cards do not spin their fans if they're not under load. So i'ts possible that's why. Otherwise try pressing the AUTO button on MSI Afterburner. This resets the fan curve to default.

The internet on the service is pretty much as good as it gets, so no improvement there http://www.speedtest.net/result/7884365158

Didn't know that was possible, will try that right away

I don't care what os, I tried both but none of them have touch support on the install screen

Hi An annoying situation, I need to repair/reinstall windows on a HP elitepad 900. Problem, the thing does not have a USB port, only a micro SD card. I can boot of that SD card no problem but I cannot continue because touch is not enabled in the windows install language select menu. I can however get into the windows recovery menu. (Image below). Here i cannot do anything unfortunatly, both "refresh install" and "reset factory defaults" give the error "something went wrong" Have you guys got any idea how I can repair the windows install? Thanks!

If you're talking about physically fitting, the lenovo has a 2.5" drive slot as can be seen here Dont know about he dell one.

Where did you read the GPU is only at 70%, as far as I know windows task manager GPU reporting is quite broken.

This makes a new desktop and moves to that one. Press this button at the bottom of your screen

I'm doing this, i just have a IPTV decoder and the tv plugged into a switch. Works just fine.

I have 2 surveillance servers, one on each end of the complex. Since we want to see the image everywhere we pulled a fiber optic cable in between those 2 points, and a small switch on both ends. So we split our hdmi signal coming from the recorder, 1 hdmi goes to a tv, and the other to an hdmi to ehernet converter. So we can send the HDMI signal over a 200m fiber cable. We do this both ways. Since we connected the switch on one end to the network this allows us to simply add another hdmi reciever and see the hdmi stream anywhere on the network. But to do this they use broadcast packages. Which causes A LOT of overhead that I need to cover
