  1. I`ve managed to create the VM successfully. Now i'm trying to download stuff in it but the internet speed is absolutely slow, like 20kbps max. I've looked it up ("hyperv guest internet slow") and found some stuff about disabling a VMQ option on broadband network adapters, but neither my adapter is broadband, nor i have a VMQ option to disable there. I've disabled VMQ on the VM network settings, but to no avail. anyone also had this problem?
  2. how bad would i look if i said "as cheap as possible" lol
  3. OK, so maybe i didn't explain myself very well, I'm sorry for that. Let me try to explain better: so I bought a Masterbox Q300L. It has 6 fan slots (slots? spots? spaces? anyway), and my motherboard (a Gigabyte GA-A320MA-M.2) only has 2 fan headers (PWM capable, according to manual). So, how can I populate these fan slots in a cost effective manner? I noticed the obvious difference between headers and fans, so probably a fan hub or a fan controller, right? About speed control, I'm not really into the idea of controlling the speeds myself with a fan controller, I was more interested into giving the MOBO the ability to do so, but the more i think about it, the less it makes sense to me. Also, where I live PWM fans are ridiculously expensive. Maybe I should just group some non PWM fans into 2 hubs, each connected to a motherboard header, grouped by position (header closer to the front of the case controls 2 in the front and 1 at the bottom, header closer to the top controls 2 on the top, 1 in the back) and be done with it. yeah, I discovered that my mobo supports DC speed control out of the gate. just confirmed by consulting argus monitor, sys fans speeds are varying. Case is a Masterbox Q300L, CPU cooler is the one that came with my ryzen 1600, and GPU is a GTX 1060 6Gb, which I overclocked a bit. It's not a very hot system, to be honest. Except the GPU, she sometimes get a little toasty. Sorry, I expressed myself wrong. I was actually interested in individual control but to be automatically managed, maybe by the bios or something like that. I have no interest in controlling fan speeds myself. Sorry if I caused confusion. Way above my budget. affordable hardware is something really difficult to come by where I live. About the grouping, it makes perfect sense, thanks! I think I'll just get 6 non PWM fans and group them between the 2 sys fan headers of my mobo. Some more questions: what are the advantages of using a hub over a splitter? How can I find the current draw a header supports? I had the impression that a hub would avoid the power draw problem a splitter presents.
  4. i'm almost sure someone looking for "decently priced fans" have no budget to replace a whole motherboard, just to have enough fan headers...
  5. I'm having a hell of a hard time trying to find some decently priced fans with speed control, but no RGB. I absolutely definitely 100% don't care about RGB, though some white LEDs would be nice. And by the way, how do I connect 6 fans to my mobo and retain individual speed control over them? is individual control over every fan even worth the trouble?
  6. should I worry about VRMs even if I'm not even remotely interested in overclocking?
  7. to get a better board is not really an option here, there aren't any other options on the pricing range that I'm looking for. I'll probably stick with A320 anyway.
  8. looks interesting, and it is indeed half the price of a 2200G. But I'm worried about the abscense of the occasional oomph if I need it eventually. Also, I was under the impression that is not possible to overclock CPU on mobos with the A320 chipset (the ones I'm leaning towards). And my budget supports the 1600 just fine, I was just wondering if there was some hot take on the real advantage on the 1600 over the 2200G.
  9. In the local market, no. And I'm not very keen on importing - no payment option with installments, and difficult (or impossible) to RMA in case of trouble. I'm thinking on sticking with with the A320 chipset, I don't care about overclocking anyway. I don't plan on relying on one, I have a GTX 1060.
  10. So, I'm going to piece together a budget gaming rig. Already got me a GTX 1060, but my current rig (a ridiculously old Q9660 from 10 years ago) is not being enough and is not pairing well with the new VGA, so it's time to build a new one. It'll be on a very slim budget, so obviously AMD. From the online shop where I can get a better deal around these parts (I'm not in USA or Canada - Brazil to be more precise), these are the mobo options that I have (all prices are converted from BRL to USD, so try not to get scared): GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H - $109,74 ASRock A320M-HD - $108,55 ASUS PRIME A320M-K/BR - $115,52 (it's on a sale right now) GIGABYTE GA-A320MA-M.2 - $110,08 (also on a sale right now) MSI B450M - $137,61 Asus Prime B450M Gaming/BR - $158,41 Now, for the processor I am wondering the actual impact that a Ryzen 5 1600 would have over a Ryzen 3 2200G on my specific use. I will use this rig primarily for gaming and software development (mostly javascript stuff), with emulation on the side (PS3 emulation to play some Odin Sphere would be fucking sweet) and an occasional flirt with unreal engine now and then. Anyway, on to the prices: Ryzen 3 2200G - $136,81 Ryzen 5 1600 - $175,13 (you guessed it: it's on a sale) And for memory, I'll buy 2 modules of 4GB from either corsair or hyper-x, depending on whatever is cheaper on the occasion. Ignore the small stuff (extra USB headers, extra fans, etc.), I wanna focus on the real deal here. And throw in any cool ideas or hot takes in the mix, if you're feeling like it. Anyways, that's it. Thanks in advance for any comments on this post. EDIT: grammar mistake
