    Will the CPU delidding station also include substitute TIM and re-lidding? I'd hate to go home with two halves of a CPU

    I thought I read full range somewhere, thanks!

    I recently acquired a pair of these, but I know almost nothing about them, other than that they have 4 ohms impedance and can handle 16W. Does anyone know more about them, like their response range? I can't find any documentation for them.

    Looking at its specs, it isn't total overkill in as many areas as I expected for a $500 board. 64GB ram limit? https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z370-GODLIKE-GAMING/Specification

    Yeah, 1600 over 8400 just because threads. If you're getting an aftermarket cooler anyway, consider the 1600x. $20-$30 for an extra 400MHz base clock speed was worth it to me

    Using Cryorig's C7, which has a 100W TDP. The 1600x has a TDP of 95W, so it should work in ideal conditions, but the Node 202 has notoriously limited airflow. It's the best air cooler I could fit. Sometimes if I boot immediately after a heat crash it dies in a few seconds, so could be that

    I've been trying to overclock my 1600x, but it never seems to thermal throttle. Even with stock multipliers and voltage the instant it reaches 94 degrees, the computer cuts its own power. Nothing is ever damaged, though windows sometimes mentions not being shut down properly. I thought Ryzen is supposed to throttle and death at 94 degrees is making overclocking time consuming (node 202 build, working on cooling). Is this behavior normal? Notes: overclocking with Ryzen Master, monitoring with Core Temp, stressing with cinebench Mobo: AB350N-Gaming WiFi

    Thank you, Shiv78!
  12. Foiled Kongu
    Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

    After taking some measurements of the Node 202, I'm confident it can fit with a 25mm thick single-rad with a 12mm fan. A dual-rad should also fit under the GPU, but not with a second fan, so will a dual-rad with a single fan give a noticeable improvement over a single rad with fan?

    When in doubt about power consumption, pcpartpicker is your friend
  15. Foiled Kongu
    The ports on your PSU are labeled and most cables only fit in one place. Just make sure your CPU power is 2x4 pin and isn't GPU power

    Game and dedicated servers are the same thing. In a fair amount of online multiplayer games, players can host their own servers on their computers. This takes some performance away from your game, so it's really nice to have a separate computer to host the server for you. Home servers are the same kind of idea. They're basically computers on your network that act as network storage, or a NAS (Network Attached Storage). Any other computer or device with permission can access these files and it's a nice way to offload some files on your personal computer's hard drive to somewhere everyone at home can access them, if you want. Using your old computer can do both of these at once, BTW.

    As long as the case fits ATX mobo's, Shreyas' build will fit. Look at https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/84-servers-and-nas/ You can use your old computer for an overkill home server or dedicated game server
  18. Foiled Kongu
    Absolutely. You'll have to install windows on the new ssd, but your computer will load from it a lot faster
  19. Foiled Kongu
    I'd go with Shreyas' build. This way you get the performance you want, upgradeability, and 100% known parts, all within budget. If you want to go for a little cheaper, I'd look for RAM with speed somewhere in the 2000's.

    It would be next to Baseboard Model, but isn't. Is your computer a prebuilt?
  21. Foiled Kongu
    What motherboard do you have?
  22. Foiled Kongu
    Yep, the performances of the i5 and i7 families have a good amount of overlap
  23. Foiled Kongu
    Do you want raw performance, or are things like quietness, rgb, or "gamer" aesthetic important? So much money gets tied up in these
  24. Foiled Kongu
    Made any progress?
