    This is typical of Ryzen CPU's. They have a "race to sleep" strategy that keeps the clock speeds high when progrrams like HWmonitor poll the clock speed. In reality the CPU is extensively using sleep states to conserve power.

    Looks like it's running PCIe 3.0 x16, and operating normally. Z370 does not support PCIe 4.0, which is why you're seeing 8 GT/s instead of 16 GT/s.

    The v4 is a better chip across the board.
  4. svmlegacy
    Absolutely it will.

    Experiment and find out. Let us know the results!

    Ram part number and rev / CPU would be helpful

    GT 630 has NVDEC encode / decode for H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and VC-1. QuickSync on Ivy Bridge only has H.264 and MPEG-2. Run with what you have, and only upgrade if it becomes a problem.

    Pretty much any motherboard is going to run a 5600 with zero trouble.

    This is normal operation for Intel CPU's. As long as the fully loaded CPU clock speed isn't ridiculously low, your AIO is performing normally

    Follow this post to the letter:

    There is nothing wrong with your hardware. You are achieving the full boost speed of the 5600H. If your CPU was recieving unstable voltage, then it would crash. The VRM is being commanded down by the CPU due to the lower clocks.

    Depends a lot on what you want to do with it... I personally used a chromebook for the classes and had a desktop to do most of the "heavy lifting"... That being said the requirements are not high for typical mech. eng. Just make sure it's lightweight, as heavy laptops & chargers aren't fun to tote around.

    You'll need to read the Intel Developer manual for the Xeon Phi if you wish to attempt to use it. As Mel0n said, they are not for the faint of heart, and the typical compile workloads are not going to benefit from it even if it did work.

    Those look like the inductors, so no need to put pads or TIM on them.

    I wouldn't say that. Anytime you're overclocking, overvolting, or otherwise going out of spec degredation is a concern. These chips likely have thinner isolation to make the chips smaller (cheaper), which would reduce the voltage tolerance of the chip.

    Free hardware is the best hardware. Should be able to run a NAS without trouble. I can't speak to PLEX.

    Honestly, I look at it this way: 4x DIMM config does not allow for expansion without replacing all DIMMs. 2x does. Why close a door that doesn't need to be closed?
  18. svmlegacy
    Stick with the 2x 16 GB to allow for future expansion. 3600-3800 MHz RAM is recommended for Vermeer chips.
  19. svmlegacy
    No, stick to 3600 or 3800
  20. svmlegacy
    Yes, that is the GPU I was considering.

    The i7-4770 is plenty to drive a RX 6400. I wouldn't worry about the PSU either, as your GPU doesn't require any additional power plugs. Small note: the i7-4770 only supports Dual Channel ram. You may have 4 DIMM's but it's still only Dual Channel.

    It's impossible to truely predict a SSD's death date. Depends on the reason for the degredation to 99%, likely power on hours or restart count. Once a drive hits 0% for those functions, it will be put into a "WARN" for the SMART status, and continue to operate until ultimate failure. 100 months of operation is still over 8 years, plenty for a typical drive.

    Have you tried changing the power mode to a more efficient one? Depending on the system it can have a good impact on battery life.

    This was done before W11 was on the table. Case in point: 6th Gen Core i and 1st gen Ryzen have it despite being too old to be supported by W11.
