Change the cooler to a hyper 212 evo. Its quieter, less chance of breaking/failure and will offer similar if not better performance
With the extra £15 saved from the cooler, get a better kit of ram from amazon. Also, buy the 240gb ssd from amazon too, itll be cheaper.
Finally, change the PSU. Those EVGA BR's are fire hazzards waiting to happen

shea99 reacted to Sauron in Home Media server
The hardware is more than enough for a home storage server. Mine has worse specs than that and it works perfectly.
As for the software I'd recommend a light Linux distribution (really whichever you prefer, if you don't want to touch it much then something like Debian would be ideal); you can use samba to make the storage drive accessible within the network. If you also want to stream movies through DLNA you can use ReadyMedia, it works very well for me and it's very light on your system.

shea99 reacted to Sernefarian in This a good deal right ?
That's a good enough deal that I kind of desire to be in the UK at the moment.
According to Pcpartpicker at the moment that deal shaves roughly £142 from the price.

shea99 got a reaction from Scruffmanmills in £1500 Second Hand Build - Worth It
How old and what has been its use? Why are they selling it? Can they prove it boots ? Need to ask these questions otherwise thats extremely reasonable
-
shea99 reacted to Lurick in £1500 Second Hand Build - Worth It
I would be leery about them asking for £1000 less than when it was new, especially just after four months. If you can get them to tell you why they're selling and even why for such a low price and see if it lines up then I would go for it but something just seems a bit off. If it was maybe £500 off then I wouldn't be as cautious myself.

Res: EK 250 RGB
pump: RGB Plexi
Monoblock: There’s an RGB one compatible with Asus Strix Z370 and Z270 boards.
GPU Full-Cover: There’s an RGB one that is compatible with Asus Strix 1080 TI cards. I think there’s one for their 1080, too.

shea99 reacted to CyberFern0 in Need ideas
Just use RGB, if you wanna go Logic. He’s colorful, ya know. ?

shea99 reacted to For Science! in Watercooling in a Meshify C TG
The Meshify C can hold 3x 2.5" drives behind the motherboard tray. So worst case scenario use that, otherwise M.2 are your options. But yes, if you use a 360, wave goodbye to the 3.5" drive cage.
You can take a look at my Meshify C and Define C build for ideas. IF you're only putting in 1 graphics card then on top of the basement is a good place for the pump/res.

shea99 reacted to hconverse02 in Gaming Headsets VS Headphone Mic Combos
I like this method, if you can afford it, get a $100-$200 pair of high quality cans and a studio mic to go along with it for $200-$300 total.

shea99 reacted to brob in Is this any good
@mikat, the i5-7400 does exist, https://ark.intel.com/products/97147/Intel-Core-i5-7400-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz. Check bullet point spec is wrong, check the Specification tab of the Newegg page.
@Rikudosenin, an i3-8100 is a little better than the i5-7400. 6GB of memory is not generally considered sufficient for gaming but is enough for general use.
-
shea99 reacted to brob in Is this any good
@mikat
I suggested that you check the Specifications tab of the Newegg.com page. The Processor entry shows "7th Gen Intel Core i5-7400 processor".
A search for HP 870-224, the HP part number turns up https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-870-200/13687063/model/15741160/document/c05389962. It also lists the i5-7400 as the cpu.
Obviously use of "i5-1075T" is a mistake. Model numbers of this format were not used for the 1st generation of Intel Core cpu.

shea99 reacted to TVwazhere in Smallest ATX Case ?
Small note to add, the 1080 was discontinued and replaced with the 1088 (almost the exact same case) Highly recommended for being the smallest case ATM

shea99 reacted to thelordofwarr in Summer Upgrade Need help
https://www.ekfluidgaming.com here is the EK website, you can just add a 360 and then you will be(should be) fine with both of them overclocked
But then you might run out of tubing lenght so maybe need a bit of soft tubing as well
But you can go with the 240g kit and the 360 expansion kit, you could also add a second 240mm if it fits into your budget better, but i would reccomend a 360 with an 8700k
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RKFD3b this would be all in a pc partpicker list

shea99 reacted to thelordofwarr in Summer Upgrade Need help
If you want you could choose the ekwb kit without the gpu block to get into it and then upgrade later. you just have to pay attention to use aluminium parts.
also when you do that, you would also need fluid for the loop (anti growth anti corrosion) like the ekwb cryo fuel
you either have to configure the loop yourself, or stick with the alu kit, or with the aio progress
But for a 8700k (or 8600k overclocked) and a 1070 the 240mm rad isn't enought, you say around 240mm per component, 280mm if overclocked @shea99
-
shea99 reacted to thelordofwarr in Summer Upgrade Need help
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Cd3YJ8 this would be without a monitor, for that I would go with a 1080p 144hz low latency (1ms) monitor...maybe with gsync if you can find one that fits in you budget.
With a 1070 you could alos consider a 1440p 100-60hz monitor with low latency and mybe gsync (if you can find one that fits into your budget
All of this is my personal opinion
-
shea99 reacted to KarathKasun in What card can I get Under 250 US
Depending on the interest of the son, I would get a GT 1030 or GTX 1050 to put in that system and keep the R9 380. GTX 1050 Ti is not worth $200+.
