the i5-8600K might be right for you then, depending on the mods

Would it be better to get a i5-9400? I am also planning to run a Ark server, but not likely to be running on the same time.

Yes. Java for Minecraft is a very single threaded application. Really though you don't need a CPU with a clock that's super over the top unless you plan on hosting a massive number of players (100's) Any mid-range CPU will probably suffice. Not to mention overclocking is always an option unless you go the Xeon route (though some of those are overclockable).

 

If you want to cheat the Java application a little though you could install a hypervisor and host multiple simultaneous servers that span multiple cores. Then the single threaded performance wouldn't matter as much.

Planning on running a modded minecraft server which at max will probably be around 24 players.

not in raw single threaded

Thanks!

i9=9900k

but that's impractically priced for a small server

Hasn't AMD took over Intel though?

I am looking to create a build for a Minecraft server, and also possibly a Ark server too. While doing research about the best CPU for a Minecraft server, I found out about weird things with Java on how it focuses on core speed instead of the amount of cores, that is what I know so far but it might not be completely true. What is the most powerful and effective CPU for a Minecraft Server? No matter the cost or price.

So while looking at videos of Techquickie, I was able to find this video in 2017 which claims that you shouldn't get a server CPU because it isn't worth the extra 1%.

But in a video in 2019, LinusTechTips showed this beast

The CPU alone was even able to run Crysis of all games on the earth for god sake.
My question is now: If you are making an over-kill computer, is it worth it to play with a CPU Server for gaming now in 2020?

generally when you get a prebuilt, the manufacturer has either worked with windows or has a license to modify windows. now if this is linux we're talking about, it wouldn't be too hard, but windows is 8gb of pure nope, an actual hellscape if you tried.

I was planning on using the custom installation in order to make virtual machines way more easier

So in every build that the Linus team created, the background has been changed, programs/games already installed, and I would expect it to be super hard/difficult to have to do that whole process over and over again for each new computer made. Is it possible and is there a tutorial on how to add programs(kind of like bloatware) and also modify settings(to give extra performance, change the background, etc) into a iso file to use to install windows into a new pc(like a virtual machine)?

Sounds to me that your mouse software got updated and now uses different API to adjust the volume. It opted to send the vol up/down keyboard media keys instead of adjusting the volume directly (which probably caused compatibly issues with some sound solutions and hence the switch)

 

And yes, it was introduced back in Win8, hence it has the Metro look and not Fluent Design of Win10, not yet at least.

But I haven't updated it though 
Ever since the new windows update this thing on the top left keeps on showing ;-;

Then that's the fault of Windows. It isn't a new feature (like I said, it's been around since 2012), but I have seen Windows systems that don't show it when the volume is changed. 

I am not changing the volume with my mouse though. When I pause the video, like I usually do, it pauses without anything shown up. But now is deciding to show both the rectangle box thing of the video and the volume.

See this topic

 

Don't really trust that and also when I was going to the website linked in there my browser protected activated and said it is a dangerous site so... not taking the risk

That isn't new at all. That has been around since 2012 with Windows 8. 

Nope that at all, well not for me at least. I have had this mouse for a LONG TIME, and it never showed up that dumb box on the upper left whenever I use the shortcut to pause or resume something.

So I have a hotkey that is on my mouse to let me pause audio and resume it, but when I do, this stupid thing appears on the top left, and I have to do a lot of stuff on the top left as well, does anyone have any idea on how to get rid of this?!

Becaause the gaming PC is outputing a non-TV 1080p signal.  You haave to manually configure it to output a TV standard signal.

I don't see an option to change 1080p TV or non-TV 1080p, all I see is just 1080p on the resolution of the monitor.

You dont do it in OBS, you do it on your PC that you are recording from.

It is already in 1080p though with my computer. The problem I am having is that I am trying to hook my capture card from my 2nd computer, to the 1st computer, to then be able to live stream on the first computer, and when I do, everything glitches out, but when I connect it with the Nintendo Switch, everything works perfectly. 

Just now, Dan Castellaneta said:

Try reducing it to 59.94Hz. It might show up in Windows as 59Hz, same deal, that's just how Windows differentiates the two.

Just tried it, no difference at all sadly

AFAIK you need to output at the standard HDTV 1080p format, not the PC standard.  If you are using a NVidia GPU, the proper resolution will be listed in the NV control panel under the "TV" heading.

What do you mean by that and how do I do that in OBS? I am not able to control the AVerMedia with the AVerMedia Recentral because it keeps saying device occupied.

Quick question, what's the refresh rate of the output of the computer? 59.94Hz or 60Hz?

It is 60Hz

So for a while, actually a REALLY REALLY long time, I been having this weird issue and still haven't figured out why is it doing it. I am trying to record from my other computer, but for some reason I have this green bar down below, a black bar to the right, and the rest of the display has moved up to the upper left. But for some dumb reason it works perfectly fine if I plug in my Nintendo Switch. I even tried calling them for support to get help but either they don't pick up and when they do they can't help. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

I have posted this before under computer hardware > display, but since no one helped me there and I noticed it is mostly only about monitors, I re-posted it here.

Anyone?

Ah, then yeah. You'll need to look for something that better suits your tastes if you're not looking to mod.

I mean the website you gave me doesn't support Acer Nitro 5, meaning I can't change the color of the laptop, I been looking around to try to find how to change the color of it or is there any skins to change it or basically anything, but still couldn't find anything, which is why I am here

An example: https://dbrand.com/shop/dell-xps-15-skins-9560

Looking up for skins but I couldn't find anything that changes the color of the keyboard or the red piece of metal in front of the keyboard

You could skin it I guess, but that's a bit on the annoying side to do in most cases.

What do you mean by skin it?

I am getting a Acer Nitro 5, but... don't like the color red, is there a possible option or a mod to change the color to like blue or something?
