KarathKasun got a reaction from TopHatProductions115 in Server as a gaming PC
They work fine. Just get a PCIe or USB sound card.
Also, getting a full size GPU into a 1u server is a challenge. I used a flexible PCIe riser to put the GPU outside the case.

KarathKasun got a reaction from WhitetailAni in PCIe 32x
Not really, they would make trace routing a nightmare and you would not want to pay >$1000 for a MB.
Faster slots come with PCIe revisions.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Marasmic in Ryzen 7 3700X high temps with a 360mm AIO
The chip is so small that you cant get the heat out of it efficiently (the main problem with smaller process nodes). The silicon itself is a thermal insulator at those power densities.
The 3600 has more "dark" silicon, thus a lower power density.

Oh look...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console_emulator
Using an emulator + BIOS dump for a console you own + Original game media = 100% legal.

Ive been following emulation for nearly 30 years, that argument has held water in court multiple times.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Plip in Do experienced system builders remember their first hardware failures?
On my first builds, none. I did OC a Matrox G400 to the point of memory failure. I have also crushed a few of the old school CPUs that didnt have heatspreaders from the factory in the Socket 462 days.
Didnt keep me from overclocking and then holding the Rage 128 3D Mark record for a few months.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Haro in Ram locked at 2400, out of idea's :(
Also make sure the RAM is installed in the set of slots furthest from the CPU.
Bad text illustration follows...
CPU socket ---- DIMM A1---- DIMM A2 ---- DIMM B1 ---- DIMM B2
Modules should be installed in A2 and B2.
To get it working you also likely need to do the following...
Get working TRFC values from Ryzen Master and compare to the DRAM calculator
If TRFC values look off use the higher of the two
Set all other timings from the DRAM timing calculator
Set SOC voltage to ~1.05v
The DRAM calculator gives me values for TRFC that are something like 100 lower than what they should be, 470 when it needs to be 560. The system will not boot if TRFC is too tight with my modules. I can hardly go below TRFC 540 @ 3400 without random issues. Im using bottom tier super cheap Hynx MFR modules.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Haro in My Old pc
This is a good option if you are looking to spend $150 or so.
Just put your current GPU in the new system and drop another $150 into a 1650 or something later and you will have something like 4x the performance on all fronts.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Haro in ask, vga power watt
Shouldnt be a problem. CPU is 65w at most, 750 Ti is ~60w, other parts might pull ~25w. You should be well within your PSU specs, though PSUs that old sometimes cant put out their full rated wattage.
-
KarathKasun got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in Is this rig fried?
The PSU checks out according to that meter AFAIK.
The -5v is optional, as nothing uses it anymore.
The other +5v and +3.3v lights are for if you are testing a SATA power plug, if you have the CPU power connector plugged in it should only show 12v.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Wingfan in Please help - AIO not working
No, it will plug into a fan header or into a SATA power connector.

KarathKasun got a reaction from adm0n in Upgraded gtx 750 to msi gtx 1070 in ASUS g20aj-problems
I do not have those problems in either game with that CPU. If that was the initial problem, stuttering would be present on both GPUs.
Ive played GTA V on CPUs as old as Xeon E5440s, if you dont go overboard on vegitation or pop density pretty much anything can run that game fairly well.

KarathKasun got a reaction from adm0n in Upgraded gtx 750 to msi gtx 1070 in ASUS g20aj-problems
I had a 1070 in a E3-1220 rig, it worked fine. Bottlenecks do not result in what is being mentioned in this thread.

KarathKasun got a reaction from Haro in My Intel VS AMD thoughts (What do you think?) (Unbiased as I can be)
3300x has plenty of legs left for overclocking, especially with FCLK. It can pick up something like 20% performance from basic tuning.

You can't swap the CPU. You're stuck with 2133MHz unless you purchase a new laptop.

That CPU only supports 2133 MAX.

The CPU will not work if you dont have a newer BIOS already installed. I tried.

Only if you are using a chip with integrated graphics.

KarathKasun got a reaction from maleovlog in Does a asrock b450 pro 4 motherboard work with a ryzen 5 3600.
OH, first boot can take a bit, memory training on the 3000 series chips seems to take a bit. After the board gets proper memory timings worked out it shouldnt be much of a problem on further cold boots.
On my setup DDR4 3200 works fine, but sometime resets to 2133 on a cold boot due to the training issues. Just set it back to 3200 and reboot. Its annoying, but not something that keeps the rig from working.

Update to P1.80 if you are on an older BIOS than that, then update to the newest version.
Do not swap CPUs untill you have the newest BIOS installed.
Just did this on an ASRock X370 Killer SLI + R5 3600 setup myself.
