Help Intel Xeon 1230v5 + Asus e3m-v5
Sir0Tek replied to Axillium's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
What is your budget, what is your actual gpu, what ram are you using and where do you live? -
May I ask in which situations any of these distros do feel sluggish, and where/how exactly Windows does feel snappier? It may be due to a few settings. Distros are usually build to run on any system so some settings that could cause troubles are set to very tolerant values. Some of the additional features of your igp may still be unused due to missing packages which are irrelevant for just running the system but do give a boost in certain circumstances; for example vaapi, vulkan and so on. Since your using your igp you can check how much vram is given to it by the bios. It should be on auto usually.

Fattydove is probably just a rebadged standard-ssd made in China, maybe it's equal to Zheino.

Pc not booting when GPU power connectors are fitted.
Sir0Tek replied to Niknak98's topic in Graphics Cards
How old is your psu, give or take? I get the idea it is been in use for several years already, without the need to push a rx580 within its life, let alone the Nitro. Does the psu have the correct pcie-connectors to fit the Nitro? And the gtx 960 also fails while consuming less juice... -
I had a netbook with some slow 60gb 1,8" zif-harddisk and I tried to replace it with something bigger and faster. I ended up buying a cheap 128gb msata ssd and additionaly an adapter zif2msata for less than $20 in total.

Ehh, 500mhz memory speed is normal for the Vega56, not to confuse with the ddr4-memory.

I am quite sure that you can save different bios-profiles and reload them if needed.

This does not look good. You'll need to replace the electrolytic cap at least, the one with the burn-mark should be a capacitor as well, a ceramic one, which may still be fine.

The market with 2nd hand computers and parts in the Netherlands is somewhat special. Lots of dealers try to make a living with old parts and computers, you have to find individuals trying to sell their rigs and you need a good knowledge about the parts. It is not difficult to get a bargain but quite often you have to communicate with the seller due to him having no idea about the actual value of his computer. For example, If a seller saw the latest price of his 120gb ssd at €85,- back in 2016 he'll try to sell it for €65... Your advantage: There are a lot less buyers than sellers, if someone doesn't want to sell at a good price just ditch it, next one.

I did wrote that you should look for 2nd hand first if on a budget, didn't I? Getting a decent I7 used at +-250 isn't that difficult, especially if there's no graphics card installed. That would give sufficient room for a better gpu, like for example the 5600XT. Or go up to +-500,- and get a better graphics card as well.
-
Just using one dealer will save shipping costs, 120gb ssd should cost about €20-24 I guess. If you're on a budget, a 2nd hand pc will be better for gaming, even the Haswell I7 gives more performance than any Zen-cpu, the Ks even beat Zen+. Then you may spend some extra on the gpu; rx570 at €175,- is too expensive in comparision with alternatives like the 5600XT.

Weird. You may clean the cpus contact array, check the socket. I don't think the cpu is refusing to work due to not getting enough power by the mainboard; unless the psu is faulty.
