In short, I have a EVGA SuperNova G2 550w(80+ GOLD) that I'd like to pair with a new 5700 XT GPU. Right now I have a i5 - 9600k(not overclocked) w/ a 1060 3GB which wattage wise seems to be fine. I saw that the 5700 XT recommends a 600w PSU but I know that can sometimes differ with other hardware being used as well quality of PSU. Would I run into issues with that PSU and GPU config? Should heat also be a concern of mine regarding the 5700 XT? Proposed system specs: Intel i5 - 9600k(not overclocked but on turbo) Corsair H60 AIO 32GB Corsair DDR4, 3000Mhz(not overclocked) Samsung 970 EVO M.2, 1TB & GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB, Triple fans

Also once you choos a particular architecture to develop from, it's a lot harder to spread out to other architectures. Be it x86 to arm or vice versa. Rules always makes things more difficult for dev

If it turns out to have as much capability as they hope, it could be a game changer for both the commercial and consumer market I think

I didn't know that they were already that far along in development ? Got a link for a dev board?

There has been a lot of talk about the limitations of x86 or ARM as a format. RISC-V supposedly wants to make a more universally accepted architecture with the implementations of an open license. Thoughts? ---------------- I'm just now hearing about RISC-V ? This is the vid that got me interested but you know how the internet works, take it like a grain of salt

The lower the rpm could make your system more hot as you increase your workload. You could get some rubber fan fasteners too instead of using screws to avoid a rattle when keeping your fans in place.

Asus ZenBooks are pretty fairly priced. They have a lot of storage space, dedicated graphics cards, and a ton of RAM. You may have to check in on the quality of the display though.

Do you have another system that you could test the PSU in?

Have you tried just restarting your PC?

I think you'll be okay, NVMe takes advantage of PCI-e. The M.2 being in a PCI-e format, it should work.

The original 1151 series motherboards are kinda fading out now that the 1151 300 series are out and mainstream but for a decent new micro atx motherboard (1151 non 300 series) you can expect to pay anywhere from $55 to $150, the lower budget items usually giving less features available. After finding a motherboard, then I would go for a case. Thereafter, finding a new cooler if necessary. If the budget needs to be strictly followed, re-work the case you chose or motherboard to make it work out. Also be aware that some micro atx cases require a certain size for power supply, though most are generally usable, sometimes there are a handful that require SFF PSU's.

Accidentally posted the topic without finishing typing, it's been updated ':P I tested the GPU on another known to be working motherboard, outside of the USB issue, I know the main black screen issue stems from the GPU. Hopefully an RMA works out.

SO, recently I helped a friend finish a PC build and now it has me stumped. After everything was installed, the PC seemed to be working fine until a few hours it had been turned on. It has some how developed a few issues the longer it was turned on. To boot the PC for some reason the boot process would halt at an error menu, not detecting any sort of keyboard or mouse and to get past this, you had to swap the keyboard USB location to another port and it would boot past that screen and start detecting the device. That was the first large, strange issue I had noticed. A day goes by and then the PC boots, but then a few minutes after the PC is on, it black screens, shuts off and then tries to restart itself, though only to a black screen. Also I should mention my friend somehow let a drink condensate near the PC allowing water droplets to get inside the fan grate. A large measure of droplets landed directly on GPU. I had to take it apart to complete dry up the water, using q-tips and patience, removing the shield from the top of the GPU, drying underneath and inside the PCI port. After this water incident, the PC was returned to it's former working condition of oddly working USB ports. The PC is now stuck in a perpetual motion of either booting to a black screen or booting with the strange USB trick, staying on for a few minutes only to shut off trying to restart itself with another black screen. All drivers are up to date. I haven't tried flashing the bios but have tried removing the bios battery to no helpful avail. Anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this? Faulty motherboard(Likely), water damage, overheating(?), suggested reinstall of windows 10?

Could you elaborate on the "basic tools"?

I was planning on using the distro as my main driver

I honestly never even thought to check the Nvidia website for drivers XD I haven't thought that far ahead XD

That's good to know, I just want to avoid uninstalling windows just to find tons of hardware issues with a linux distro.

Outside of the fact that I would have to work out a few different types of software incompatibilities and the lack of gaming support, would I experience any hardware issues? I understand that some linux distros and MacOS have issues with certain motherboards, drivers, and GPU's. My main machine has 8GB of RAM (2400MHz), 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, an i5-9600K 6-core, and a GTX 1060 3GB. Also the MOBO I have is an ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac LGA 1151 (300 Series).

Assuming it does, you'll probably bottleneck the GPU with that CPU.

When you upgraded your hardware, did you also upgrade your peripherals? If the same peripheral is causing issues across multiple machines, it very well just could be that. As for the power flickering issue, you could always to some research into buying an external battery(a power bank of sorts). Typically from what I have seen for consumer models, they usually give you roughly a 10 - 20 minute window after you lose power to save your work and prevent either the loss of data and the potential damage to your system(your system specs and power yield could possibly change how long this said battery will last after you lose power).

I believe CAS correlates to the latency speed if I'm remember correctly. It is better to have similar CAS latency's I'd assume. Also make sure the voltages and timings are similar.

In most cases if you want to add more RAM, you should make sure that the RAM is of the same manufacturer, and has the same speeds. Like the latency's and MHz for instance. The amount of RAM that you're adding doesn't matter a whole lot if you at least make sure that they are the same speeds. In the case that you added that 16GB 2400MHz RAM, it'd be recommended that you turn your 3000MHz sticks down otherwise you can get a whole mess of system errors.

Are there certain types of games you are trying to stream?
