Yes sorru I get what you mean now! I had a x8 slot in mind and what could deliver enough power?

Its' this:https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t630/

That is a good shout I didn't think of but 0 it's a little HP and Dell Micrso ones so no PCIE slots

I do have two spare power supplies and a Seasonic jumper! It's odd doing it cheap but also trying to avoid having a PSU in the limited space! But I will take a look!

Hi all, I think this will fall under a question about storage! I have 2 or 3 mini PCs that I can't add drives internally to two have USB external drives all good and well but one I have a M.2 spot and a super easy way to run wires out of my questions what is the best way to power them? I mean as an example of the "Set up" below Easy enough to connect Sata to M.2 yes sweet but how would I power them? The regular is either MOLED to sata and see and some docks have a molex port on them! As seen in the other image! But what is the best way to get power to them from a Mini PC that already uses a power brick? And I know I know a NAS or DAS with power is 100X better and I will almost 99% just order one, it's only for PLEX storage but the answer has been killing me for ages! And oddly enough this "Rough" way of doing it would help add one drive to a system. Linus also showed the M.2 to sata in a video the other night and I've been thinking of an answer since!

Update: Posted to Reddit too and the fans are kina hot spawable, 1 screw and contacts pushed on them to make sure good contact like someone who had the same issue and all is good now.

I meant to add this too from the Fan test.

Hi all, I have a Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT NITRO+ 16GB few weeks now has been great but the day I got it I installed the Trixx software did a fan test and got a red fan in the middle, checked no bigger cable resting on it, fast forward about 4 weeks or so, ran another test and all 3 are red and hardly spin up during the test past 600rpm. If I run a stress test in the AMD software they do spin up and I don't believe I'm having any issues in the game, did a load of benchmarking last night and nothing odd. If I use MSI Afterburner and set to 100% it just goes back down to 0, I guess due to no load. Ran Furmark (Side pannel off) Max 62C Fans at 25%? Just an issue with Strixx software? GPU had power two separate 8 pins no daisy chain. Just an issue with Strixx software?

Seen in the image, it's not the CS2 but the white one, sometimes hows when I tab in t CS only last few days, not installed anything new as far as I know.

Budget (including currency): Price to Performace. Country: UK Scan.com will be the retailer Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming 99% of time. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have got my GPU RX 7800 XT and need a CPU, I did do a post and got some great help but spent some more time narrowing it down to the below. Sorry it's a lot of data trying to find the best. I will say for Intel I have only done DDR4 and not DDR5 maybe people will say I need to add it in? It's set at the end by the final price. The ones that I think stand out for me and maybe will be a bad idea for gaming would be R7 5700X I may have missed some CPUs but that will be down to my preferred retailer not stocking them (I have some vouchers to use with that) FYI 8600K is my current CPU with DDR4 3200MHz RAM 4 x 8GB sticks.

Unforantly that site is ASS, They hate AMD so really can't be used to compare anything in my option.

Could you elaborate more? Why over AMD?

Ooo I missed saying 1440P!

Budget (including currency): Low as possible due to not planning on a CPU upgrade yet, but I do value well value over price. Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming Other details: This will replace an I5 8600k and be paired with a RX 7800 XT OC. I just made the GPU purchase and I knew I'd bottleneck but worse than I expected (CS2 stutters) Thinking of giving AMD a go since I have for GPU. I've attached the 6 I'm thinking mostly at Scan.co.uk due to PayPal Credit being an option. I'd be happy to drop to the Ryzen 5 options too. but wanted to know what people thought would be a good "Value" match. I'm going AM4 due to having 32GB of DDR4 Ram I want to keep using at 3200Mhz. I will need a board and Cooler too! But I'm a little more clued up on Mobo and cooling just not CPU so much.

Wow yeah thank you, honestly done a little Excel looking at the 8/9th gen and all around the 13K PassMark score a little search for 13th gen and just shy of 40k worth saving a few months and upgrading when I hit a bottleneck a lot, for now, I only had issues in BF2042 but with a a 1660 super capped at 60FPS never ran in to issues.
