I have gotten a computer (Dell optiplex 7010 ultra small form factor) and I came here to ask if there was a graphics card that could fit in with this computer

As the previous replies said, it most likely won't fit, You can although get an external GPU which you can hook up to your PC but it is pretty expensive and not worth it.

Hello, I've recently moved into an apartment complex, and the internet sucks, under 25mb/s download when they advertised "High speed internet", Now I don't know anything about networks but I wanted to investigate and check if they are using the same internet package for all the apartments. (Each apartment has its own router). and after connecting to two in different areas, I got the same IP on both of them except that the last 2 digits were different. (Check examples), What does this mean? Are all apartments on the same IP meaning if someone is dumb enough to get DDoSed, everyone else will be affected?

Router 1: 10.255.255.6

Router 2: 10.255.255.87

These are just examples and not my real IP. (the last 2 bolded digits are though)

Once again, I know nothing about networks.

Id ditch that RAM for 3600 speed with CL14-16, will give better performance than trying to do 4000 mhz at cl18. I also would be weary of having a single 16 tb drive with no backup, id either run a pair of 8tb in raid or if budget allows and you really want that much space than do a second 16tb in raid. Also that video card is never going to be restocked, but if thats just a place holder than ok, just know you wont ever get that exact card/package

Good point, Switched it out for 3600mhz @ CL14, and got 2 8tb so I can run them in raid, and yeah I do know I won't be able to get the limited edition one, but pcpartpicker didn't list the normal red devil one which is what I'm going to get. or at least any other 6900XT card is enough.

SN850, Sab Rocket Q 4.0

SN850 does have slightly more write speeds, although it does tend to get hot even when idle (according to tomshardware's testing), Sab Rocket 4 is also definitely a great drive and much faster write speed than 980 pro (7gbps), although it's not quite as responsive and effecient as samsungs ssd's, and honestly 5gbps write is a lot more than enough for me and AES 256-bit encryption is a nice thing to have.

I’d go with a faster drive. 980 pros aren’t very good and fast for the money. 

I may be wrong but if iirc, 980 pros Sequential Read/Write speeds are 7000MB/s / 5100MB/s, what other drive do you recommend I get? 

USD, I have No budget (Doesn't mean Ima get a threadripper with crossfire 6900xt's or anything way overkill), 

US / Can pay shipping from other countries if reasonable deal. 

Will be used strictly for Gaming, Some video editing and rendering at times. Might start streaming

Already have all peripherals and some 144hz 1440p monitors and I have been wanting an Ultrawide for a while so I added a Odyssey G9, Prefer purchasing from Newegg and Amazon. (Newegg more preferably) 

Current list: 

NOTE: I put MSRP price for the 6900XT since I'm not gonna buy the GPU until market becomes stable again, I have an old rx 5700xt lying around so I can use it temporarily, and a 2080ti already in a water cooled system which I can use as well if I needed to. Also I'm paying like 200 extra bucks for the PSU but there ain't any more 1000W+ PSU's in stock so can't really do anything about that.

(I might upgrade to water cooling later down the line but for now I'm just gonna stick with air cooling and an AIO for the CPU)

I probably missed a couple things so let me know if there's anything I should change. If you have any questions, Let me know.

Thanks.

That's pretty standard, was it always like that or is it new (or did you mention "suddenly decide to spike" simply becasue you never looked at it before)?

I've never looked at it before since Radeon software never mentioned memory temp and only found out once I started using Pulseway, pretty odd how its relatively higher than the junction temp, Thanks for the answer though. 

Hello, My Red devil 5700xt memory temperature is hitting 90C while my GPU Doesn't even reach 65C, and my junction temp is below 80C, is this normal? Also memory clock is OC'ed at 1884, and has been running stable under full load 24/7 for days, not sure why memory temps suddenly decided to spike

You just download and extract the nanominer-linux-3.3.3.tar.gz file. Open a terminal window and run this command to run nanominer

./nanominer your-config-file.ini

When opening terminal window make sure you have changed directory to where you extracted the archive.

I didn't know it was that simple, Thank you, Although for some reason, the miner doesn't detect my 5700 XT and states that it detected 0 devices, Do you know any way to fix it? I have the latest AMD 5700XT Drivers installed.

https://prnt.sc/117h6qs

Hey I'm having trouble installing nanominer which is compatible with linux (https://github.com/nanopool/nanominer/releases), it's a tar.gz file and has an exe. I've tried using WineHQ to run the exe, and I've tried using terminal to install the tar.gz using ./configure but it would just say No such file or directory, anyone has any idea how to install nanominer, Any help is appreciated, thanks

Wasn't sure where to place this thread but since this is a rig I'm planning to buy, i thought it could be placed in the new builds & planning section

Anyways, Is this a good deal? It does 2gh/s and is pretty cheap, I'm not sure if its a real and trust able site since the MSRP of the A11 PRO is 26k USD according to google, maybe google lied to me.

I would try and run it for a week. Check temperatures and alike.

If it's all under control, you could probably keep it under load.

Check the PC atleast 2 times a week to prevent failures and such.

Alright, Thanks

Sure can, up until it doesn't. Could be 2 weeks, could be 2 years.

 

Funny, as a landlord, including utilities can make it easier on tenants and is preferred by some.  However, I will be discontinuing the practice entirely since my units are metered seperately and it would seem that people just can't help themselves from taking advantage.  

 

Whomever is paying your hydro is going to notice. 

Well, I did sign a contract and they never said there is a limit to power usage so I'm not too worried even if they noticed, and they most likely wouldn't say anything considering its managed by a big company not just a landlord.

Hello, I was wondering if I can safely keep my PC on for months under full load. What are the risks? I've run it under full load for the past 48 hours to gather temperature information and my 5700XT would hover around 65C constantly with the fans at about 73%, if I would limit the max fan speed to 50%, it will spike up to 75 C. Is it fine if the fan stays at around 75% 24/7 and what are the chances of it failing? How many years will the GPU most likely last? Also, other components were rather cool, my CPU will not be used so that's not issue, Check below for my overclocking settings

NOTE: I know that it will be more power consuming, but fortunately I don't pay for electricity so shouldn't be issue

Also If you'd like to know, I'm running a TX650W at 220v

Last question, Is there any software that detects if a fan failed or goes to 0 RPM and automatically shutdowns the PC even if the temps are fine, just incase I leave the PC unattended

Don't you think that if buying a 150-200 CAD$  gpu would be profitable for mining, everyone would buy them and use them for mining, hence their prices would be super high?

 

The difficulty increases so much that it's almost not worth mining with a RX 570/ RX 580 (and you need 8 GB vram versions these days, can't mine eth on 4gb vram cards anymore) and that's about the highest you could buy on that budget.  You'll make less in mining profit than the amount you pay in electricity and cooling. 

 

Fortunately, I don't pay for electricity, What GPU do you suggest I should get then, for a reasonable performance for dollar price,  also take into consideration that I will probably buy like 3-6 GPU's.

Budget (including currency): 150 - 200 Canadian Dollars

Country: Canada

Will be used mainly for mining crypto. 

I'm building a mining rig and would like to know what GPU would be the most performance for dollar with a budget of around 150 - 200 CAD$ for the GPU (MSRP Obviously). I've seen some people say the RX 560 or 570, or the 1050 ti, also I most likely will be buying more than 1 GPU, Thanks.

Hello, 

I found this Belkin surge protector on amazon and it has a joule rating for 565 joules with a 20,000 euro Connected equipment warranty, How are they so confident that 565 joules is enough when most modern home appliances need more than 1000 joules, Is the warranty just talk to attract customers or do they actually warranty your damaged equipment from power surges? 

Thanks.

Dumb Question, But I'm really no expert, I have a US Surge Protector Power Strip with me here in the UK, I was wondering if plugging in a US to UK Adapter will affect anything with the Power Strip or Surge Protection? Also Keep in mind that if I recall correctly, the adapter will convert the US Standard Voltage to UK Standard Voltage as well incase that will affect anything with the power strip or surge protection, the power strip I'm using is a Tripp Lite one if that will help. Once again, Dumb Question but I'm really no expert and just wanna make sure, Thanks.

It shouldn’t be an issue, Your cooler just happens to run a higher temp gradient. 

Idle temps mean nothing, as long as your max load temp isn’t high, you should be fine.

If your paranoid like me and still wanna lower your idle temps, I’d recommend undervolting the CPU to lower both idle and load temps, I have mine set at 1.2V @ 4.2 GHZ (I have the same CPU as yours), every cpu is different so undervolt at your own risk if you’re going to. I recommend  looking up a guide online on how to under volt.

Once again, as long your max load temps aren’t high, you should be fine even if idle temps are high.

with a normal hair dryer the heat won't be enough to hurt anything. Heatsink is designed to dissipate heat so probably more effective to focus on the cpu

Can probably use the plastic clamshell the cpu came in (I'd recommend cpu down, cooler on top, so if there is a drop it's the cheap cooler and not the expensive cpu) Good luck

Take a piece of dental floss and placed between the top of the CPU and the bottom of your cooler and start "cutting" the thermal paste. Be careful with the cpu it might fall and bent some pins, so do it over a pillow or something soft.

I don’t have a dental floss so i tried using a sewing thread, but it didn’t work, I’m gonna try using a hair dryer but I’m not entirely sure how to use it in this situation, should i point it at the heatsink or straight at the cpu? Any Ideas?
