    Bad purchase. Gamemax is junk in general.
    The Gamemax GM1050 is a group regulated unit with an internal design from 20 years ago. It can't handle the dynamic loads and transient spikes of modern CPUs and GPUs.

    Their website says it (GM series) has only a one year warranty too 😯 
     
    OP:  if you want suggestions, what is your budget/country?

    in terms of only wattage with zero other factors considered the wattage itself is fine

    A decent 850 would be sensible, it's not the average power consumption that's the issue, but how well the PSU handles the spikes.

    Silencix got a reaction from NF-A12x25 in It is worth buying an old Xeon to replace my R5 3600?   
    Hello everyone, I was seeing some old Xeon processors that of course are always at a good price. The problem I have is that I cannot find in the stores of my country motherboards for those processors, but in the Chinese store Aliexpress yes.
    The question is, some xeon of the link of the store that will give much more than my current R5 3600? I think so, but I wait for your comments to decide what I do.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    All the best.

    I have a Deep Cool Matrexx 55 Mesh and have to say I really like this case for the simplistic look. It might even look good lying down on its side on a shelf but is probably too long for most shelves. The drive cage is secured with rivits, but I removed it for my build. This case would have been a great budget build if it had a removable drive cage with some mounting points for a fan on the bottom and if the PSU shroud didn't do go so far to the front.

    The cases you listed are decent mesh cases, but the power supply you have is kind of long without removing the drive cages. Usually the cheaper cases have drive cage that are not removable. It should be easy enough to drill out the rivets to remove the cage if necessary. I looked up the P300a and it said max length PSU was 200mm. You also have to factor in the cables sticking out forward before bending away. The Cooler Master TD300 mesh drive cage can be move closer to the front. You can pick a decent mesh case that is more visually pleasing to you and if the cooler fits. I like the Fractal Meshify C, but not sure what that would cost with your buying options.

    Bluetooth is bluetooh the protocol has latency. If you want a pc speaker you basically need cable. Even the super expensive top of the bt 5.1 with aptx codecs still have latency and that is WAY out of your budget.

    Bluetooth latency is in the bluetooth protocol.  it doesn't matter what brand bluetooth speaker you get.  don't waste your money on one.  I have Sony's top shelf Bluetooth ear buds (WF1000XM4) and there is still latency in them.  you'll need something wired.  if you can't save up for a little longer and get yourself a Active Bookshelf Speaker pair then, yes.  A set of 2.1 speakers will do

    yes, it is truly an MLC drive, pretty much a miracle for the price you got it.

    yes, it is really MLC, that is why it is a 200$ ssd instead of a 40$ one. Older samsung pro SSDs were all MLC, and it is an OEM variant of 950Pro.
     
     
    That is the 970 evo OEM, that is TLC.
     
    I thought you were going to buy the mz-vkw5120?

    Okay. The mz-vkw5120 is a 200$ ssd, so if you can actually get it for around 40$ then I would be a bit vary of it. It is the OEM version of Samsung 950 Pro.
    But the difference is:
    MZ-7LN5120 == sata interface
    mz-vkw5120 == m.2 PCPIE interface
     
    So if you can actually get that SSD for 40$ then it is a very good deal, so go for it, but definitely look at crystaldiskinfo after getting it, high chance that it is a used ssd taken out of an oem machine.

    So you have been sleeping for the past 1.5 years? The prices are coming down and availability is getting better. But it will be slow and not overnight. Imo $700 for flagship anything is too much when midrange is at $250. This applies to GPUs, CPUs and phones.

    Yes there's a bunch of other coin to mine, but you have to check to profitability and difficulty. i suggest you go to whattomine.com to see the gpu compared.
    Eth may still be minable, but not for long. Just to give you a heads up.

    Hi all, I am looking for recommendations on what firewall to buy for my home where there are several devices connected. It has to be easy to configure as I don't have any knowledge on this firewall topic or there has to be tutorials on installation and set up. Since at the moment you can't buy video boards I decided to invest my money in the network security of my house. My budget is 48 thousand Argentinean pesos. The online store where I can buy is the following:

    The thing about firewalls is that they are only as good as the configuration.
    If you don't know how to configure a firewall or even how it works, it will be useless to you. Chances are it will just cause you a bunch of problems. Especially since most of them aren't just plug and play like your typical consumer oriented equipment.

    In a perfect world, neither. However if you can get the 970 within a reasonable price point it'll be better than the 1050.
