Light video editing, occasional gaming and mainly software development, I have Docker running in the background and sometimes I run a VM with Windows Server or Linux depending on the project...

I want to buy Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503QR with an RTX3070, however we have a supply issue in my area. The only choices I have are either a 32gb model with 5800 or a 16gb model with 5900, both come with the QHD screen, 1TB SSD, and a 3070. There is almost no price difference between the 2 models so price isn't a consideration. 100$~ cheaper for the 5900 with 16gb and no OS compared to 32GB 5800 with win10 home. A decent 32GB RAM stick costs a little more than 200$ (based on HyperX Impact 3200Mhz). However from my understanding the 16GB version has 8GB soldered and the 32GB version has 16GB soldered.... I appreciate your help, thanks.

So the Nano S, H210 and Evolve are good to go?

It shows the Node 304 as well, which doesn't seem to fit them. I bought the Node 304 because the list showed it as compatible.

Yesterday I bought all the parts, making sure to take all the clearances into consideration... Seems like I did not take the cable into my calculations, The GPU interferes with the PSU cables by just 2cm. A shorter card would fit while closing some of the PSU cable connections. Fortunately I have a different build I can use the case for, However could anyone please recommend a mini itx case that would 100% fit 2070S XC (27cm) and RM650i (160mm ATX) together?

I live in quite a small place and I have around 35CM of height available for my computer, The budget is around 2000$US (can go over), however most parts cost more as I live in Israel (17% VAT + part type based import tax). I've been thinking of a mini-itx build and this is what I came up with: CPU: Ryzen 3800X with Prism Cooler (3700X is 385USD~, 3800X is 420USD~, i7 9700K/F is 475USD~) PSU: Corsair RM750x V2 (185 USD) SSD: 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus (270 USD, 10$ difference between plus and non-plus) MB: Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard (350 USD, can't find it anywhere near the pcpartspicker prices...) RAM: HyperX Fury 3200Mhz 16GBx2 (230 USD) Total 1460USD without GPU and Case... GPU: ??? Case: NZXT H200i (Or anything else around the same budget) The system is used for occasional gaming, mostly VMs, data processing and programming. At least 2 vms are always running in the background, and I'd like to be able to play while they do. I do a lot of automated photo processing as well, however no 3D work... WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities are important however they are not a must. I wish to play games like Witcher 3 on high settings, currently I use a dual monitor setup with 2 1080p monitors, I'm thinking about upgrading one of them to 1440p. One of the monitors is a 75Hz FreeSync monitor. In addition I have Logitech G560 speakers connected as well as wired headphones. I know there are much cheaper options to what I chose however I wish for the computer to last at least 2 to 3 years with the only change being getting a better GPU... Thank you.

Thanks, the flow is a little limited in the case I currently use but I had this problem for a while (even when I used the Antec Lanboy Air it sat around 45c idle). Seems like it might be time for the guy to retire

I use it as a media pc, and it sits around 50c on idle with a noctua nh-d14

Hi, I have an old Phenom 2 x4 955 BE rev c2, is it possible to delid it easily or is it soldered? Thanks!

Man, I'm talking about integrity of material, not hammering a nail to install a wall mount...

Take a hammer, and gently hit a metal over and over again, maybe after 100 hits it will still be "fine", but when you reach the 1000th time, it will be unlikely that it doesn't have a dent in it.

As soon as I've entered the MMF page for the competition I have noticed a disturbing recurring issue with many of the designs. Many people didn't add any weight supporting parts in the design, this will cause weak walls or weak materials to break after repeated use... (Unless you're a gentle person that loves to gently put his/hers 200g~ headphones slowly on the mount) If we look at the standing mount Linus always shows, we can see that the pole that goes up is not placed on the center of the platform, it is placed around the mid-outer ring. The reason is so it wouldn't fall over when you place the headphones. However many of the wall mounted designs didn't even use this basic principle to lessen the burden. Just because you glue it or screw it in, doesn't mean you can neglect weight distribution to help prolong the lifetime of the product... What do you guys think about this issue?

It is 3.2cm tall... has a copped pipe going through the body but only a single exhaust, CPU, GPU and RAM are NOT soldered... so yeah... not an ultrabook, but bad cooling...

Had a K55VM, and yeah, at first it worked fine for basic stuff (small files, small projects), and then I started working on some bigger stuff and it went to shit, couldn't even last 10 minutes before reaching critical point and cutting power to cool down...

I have decided to buy a new laptop after my old laptop became a desktop (long story), Currently I have placed my eyes on the new DELL Inspiron 13.3 7000 with i5/i7 5200U/5500U & 500GB SSHD or 256GB SSD All of them are 1080p with 8gb ram and 58W/hour battery. I have the following problem: Currently this is my cheapest performance per buck 1080P IPS Broadwell option. I have 3 options: i5 sshd, i7 sshd & i7 ssd. The difference between the 3 is 150$. While the cheapest is 1200$ (i5 sshd) and the most expensive (i7 ssd) is 1500$. (For comparison, the cheapest XPS 13 is 1900$ Haswell) Prices include tax & 3 year warranty. My old laptop had a 3610QM and it couldn't handle my workload which is lots of Photoshop and Programming, Some PSDs were larger than 200mb. Even with 12GB of ram, my laptop couldn't properly handle them and was throttling badly and as soon as I went on my desktop Phenom 2 955 with only 4 gb of ram, it worked smoothly (even with a shitty gpu - Radeon HD4200). I am usually riding a buss/train at least 6 hours a day so battery life is important too. The question is. Is getting a 5th gen cpu worth the extra money when I could get a 4210U for 200$ less than the cheapest Broadwell option with every other spec being the same as the low tier option from above or should I go for the i7 (which is priced the same as a 4th gen, yes shops here suck with pricing stuff, and it still is the cheapest option)?
