Hello everyone, im in the process of buying parts for a new pc from scratch. I have pretty much decided on everything but i am unsure which RAM would be the best for my build. Im going for a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and my mainboard is going to be the MSI MPG B650I EDGE WIFI AM5 DDR5 Mini ITX. I have two specific rams in mind. G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 5600 CL28 F5-5600J2834F32GX2-TZ5RS Silver and G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.40V (AMD Expo) F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR I have some questions regarding which one would be better and why exactly. Basically one is 5600mhz and CL28 while the other has more mhz with 6000mhz and a slower CL30. I have read multiple times that 6000mhz CL30 is supposed to be the sweetspot for ryzen7000 for some reason. But i never saw an explanation why exactly that is. Other information i saw was that the CPU prefers lower CL. So what has more weight here? Another thing, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D officially only seems to support speeds up to 5200mhz. What would this mean pratically? Does that mean that no matter which of these RAM i buy that they will run at 5200mhz anyway? Or can i actually use higher mhz with this CPU? Also the CL30 ram supports amd expo while the CL28 does not. Is this of any relevance for me? I hope you guys can help me with these questions. Thank you very much in advance -
I'm looking to build an ITX computer but by existing Artic II 240 is 67mm thick and will not fit the 55mm space available. Either: 1) Keep AIO and buy slim noctua fans. (Thick rad, slim fans) 2) Buy replacement 55mm AIO, likely Lian Li 240. (Std rad, std fan) I'm leaning towards buying a new AIO (~$100). I'm typically more time constrained than budget constrainted. Noctua fans x2 ($40-45), plus (~$30 air cooler) so i can sell old tower as functional. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ServerSherpa/saved/gGpqdC Case Lian Li A4 H2O Thanks, opinions welcome.

Today Ive decided to get a ROG-Strix B760-I Gaming Wifi Motherboard It was good and all until I noticed that it only had one Fan Headed My case can support up to 8 case fans and I wanted to know if there's a way to plug 8 case fans (Prefered RGB) on the Header or if I should swap motherboards Also is there any good splitters for the board that would allow for 8 fans? This is my Case JONSBO D31 MESH SC Blak Micro ATX PC Case Motherboard ROG-Strix B760-I Gaming Wifi Thanks!

Looking to build a new home server based on ITX. PCIe bifurcation is important because I intend to run a bunch of NVME drives an other peripherals (SATA/GigE cards). I'm probably looking at AM4 because Intel has restricted the the desktop LGA1700 chipsets to x8x8. I would consider LGA1200 since they can do x8x4x4 but z590 ITX boards are almost impossible to find these days. AM4 has no such limitation and can in theory do x4x4x4x4 but it is up to the board vendor to add support in the BIOS. Unfortunately it is tricky to work out what most can support because it isn't the sort of thing they put on the specs page. Does anyone here have any of the following ITX boards (with recent BIOS) and can confirm what they can support. Please respond with the model of board, BIOS version and level of support (x8x8, x8x4x4 or x4x4x4x4). ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING ASUS ROG Strix X570-I Gaming MSI MPG B550I GAMING EDGE MAX WIFI MSI MPG B550I GAMING EDGE WIFI ASRock Phantom Gaming-ITX/Ax ASRock Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 ASRock B550M-ITX/ac Gigabyte X570SI AORUS PRO AX Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI ASUS publish this guide which shows their B550 supports x8x4x4 and the x570 does not but I always wonder if this is up to date? I could look at a card that can do x16 bifurcation (using an ASMedia PCIe switch) but I am not aware of many that don't cost $$$. The QNAP QM2-4P-384 QUAD M.2 Card is one option but it only uses x8 to x4x4x4x4 which is a bit of a waste of bandwidth. Thanks,- 8 replies

Hi all, i have a bunch of spare components left over from various builds including a small GPU, an ITX motherboard with intel stock cooler that does an adequate job and an ATX PSU. Im looking for a PC that i can move around a lot and can take a bit of a beating without me worrying im damaging expensive components. So my question is, whats the smallest cheapest case i can buy that supports, if possible, a horizontal GPU (so i dont have to buy a riser, im aiming for as cheap as possible), an ITX motherboard (cooler clearance doesnt matter) and an ATX semi-modular PSU. And a handle would be nice but not necessary in the slightest Cost is primary as this is just going to be a PC that beats about the place and i dont want to spend anything more on pc parts if possible

Hello, I just built a new gaming PC. I have a Ryzen 5 7600X being cooled by a Noctua NH-L12S in the Fractal Ridge case. Idle I'm getting around 55-70C. Downloading games / Running stress tests I get 80-95C. Not sure what to do here, I aplied a pea sized amount of Noctua thermal paste onto the CPU and securely mounted the cooler. HELP PLEASE!

Hello! I've recently changed my pc from a Mid Tower ATX to an ITX build since ill be moving it into the living room when I move in a couple of months. I chose the Hyte Revolt 3 and I've been very happy with it so far. I also used the chance to switch from Intel to AMD. Here are some system specs for the following questions: CPU : Ryzen 5 7600 GPU : Gigabyte 2080 Super windforce OC Mobo : Asus Strix B650E-I Gaming Wifi 550 W PSU and the Hyte Revolt 3 case Windows 11 I have done a bunch of PC builds and fixes before, but this is the first time I'll be trying myself at custom watercooling. Now I have mostly 3 questions. 1. How do I fill the loop in the safest way? 2. Is the pump power enough to cool both CPU and GPU? (Restricted on space so I can't fit a dedicated pump and reservoir.) 3. Are there any obvious incompatibilities/ missing pieces in the following list of components? Be quiet! Silent Wings 4 140mm 2x Alphacool Eisbaer solo 2600rpm Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 280mm Radiator V.2 Alphacool Eisblock ES Acetal RTX 2080/2080Ti M02 (2070/80 Super) Alphacool HF 13/10 Fitting G1/4 x6 Alphacool EPDM Tube 13/10 - Black 3m Alphacool Thermal pad double-sided 100x100x0,5mm I know it might be a little overkill to also cool the Ryzen 5 with the same loop since it's running fine with the stock cooler, but I wanted this as a little challenge and learning exercise for a future water-cooled build that's gonna be a little more ambitious, as well as making the system as silent as possible (The 2080 Super gets quite loud...). Thank you very much for any help in advance!

hey all, this is my first post. I am planning a build using DanCase C4-SFX and I am trying to figure out which GPU’s fit with no modification to the GPU. I first saw this case in a Linus Tech Tips video where they modify a Gigabyte Aorus RX 7900 XTX to fit it. Then I saw a video by Optimum showing an MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio fitting with no modifications. The Gigabyte is 335mm long and doesn’t fit in Linus’s video, DanCase states 336mm as the max length, and the MSI is 337mm and fits no problem for Optimus. I want to put a Gigabyte RTX 4070Ti which measures (336x140x58) GPU dimensions Gigabyte Aorus RX 7900 XTX (335x137x69) MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio (337x140x67) Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4070Ti (336x140x58) LinusTechTips GPU does not fit w/o modification: Optimus showing it fitting just fine: Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. best regards, K

Hello. I am attempting to make a Mini-ITX PC that will be for to carrying out to things like LAN Parties, Showcasing Files at other places, and other 2-PC functions that would help with my (rather unwieldy) ATX PC's issues of taking on everything alone, including travel damages. I got ahold of this wooden Case from CYBERWOOD and I'll be making it the starting mold for the build https://www.amazon.com/CYBERWOOD-Computer-Ventilated-Expansion-Component/dp/B0BJDJHG15/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=CYBERWOOD&sr=8-3 Since I am a noob on proper allocation, I would like the opinions of the internet to be heard before i start shopping around for gear. Budget will be at $1000 to $1200. I live out in this plateau corner of USA, Pacific Northwest. This Puts me of range of an actual computer parts store barring Best Buy, so i will be mostly relying on online shopping. I will of course be using it for big eater games like ARK Survival Evolved, Halo Infinite, and Elden Ring. I will also be using it to run things like VSDC Video Editor and Game Servers for whenever my ATX pc is occupied. Other than the case and some additional housing for a possible AIO, I'll basically be starting from scratch. I DO, however, want to avoid using NVIDIA due to their obvious pricing issues if I can. So it will either be all AMD with a 6700XT or all Intel with an ARC Card, and I want them to be the best Graphics Card of their respective Series. No need for a new mouse and keyboard, though I want to get a KVM to easily switch from pc to pc at home, along with a better monitor, one that allows me to play at 1440p at ~100hz. Current pc rig is carrying an ROG Asus RX580 8GB OC and a Ryzen 5 3700X (Wraith Prism is still on there, absolute nightmare to get out as it takes the CPU out of its socket), on an AORUS PRO WIFI X570 motherboard. It is a good PC for 1080p things, however it doesn't seem to like doing a lot of high power things, like holding an OBS stream while playing a big game like Halo Infinite. the dang thing crashes on its own too (of course, I do not know everything about trying to run OBS, so if seems a matter of correctable human error, let me know. I would like to stream at 1080p with at least 60 fps). Depending on the situation ill most likely the start shopping spree at around Cyber Monday, as it will take time to get ahold of the right things at a good price.

I am looking to build a sff itx build (5l in size) and wanted to know of Advantech PSUs, specifically, the ''Advantech FSP500-702UH Server - Power Supply 500W, FSP500-702UH'' a reliable PSU?

There hasn't been much if any improvement at all in this space in the past 5 years. SFX power supplies are still $100+ for anything decent. There's a lack of truly compact cases (with decent airflow) under $100. The fundamentals issues still exist: GPU's/CPU's in the desktop market demanding more power. Enthusiasts who spend $1000+ on a machine want the best performance possible. People don't want to pay more for less. Lack of coordination between manufacturers. Companies like Apple, MS and Sony can get powerful efficient yet small machines because they buy in bulk, sell in bulk and they pick parts that work well together. But a base of niche consumers buying different products from different companies won't get that bulk savings. I'd expect modest improvement, maybe somewhat faster in improvement than the last 5 years, but I'd still temper my expectations.

Im making a media center pc for media consumption and VR. Im trying to decide a good case. Right now most of the parts are in a cooler master NR200P but id like to transfer it to a low profile media center case. Current considerations are the updated fractal node 202 or the fractal ridge, but the ridge is harder to get. Any thoughts of a flat case or other small media centre solutions?

Hello I'm checking the OS to run my diy NAS server. OMV or truenas can be a great choice. But these OSs runs in headless machines, so play the media files(movies) in the same PC requires a desktop GUI and this can mess up with the OS configuration of the NAS. Goals: Cheap hardware, low power consumption, backup movies and archive work files and data The parts are: MOBO with embedded CPU: N5105I H https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/N5105I-H-rev-10#kf CPU (soldered): N5105 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/212328/intel-celeron-processor-n5105-4m-cache-up-to-2-90-ghz.html RAM: 2x8 non ECC 2666Mhz M.2 to 5 Sata adapter JMB585 chip: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FZBL391 5x6Tb hdd (refurbished... may be, I don't bought the drives yet) Case: Bitfenix bfc-pro-300 (ITX only, 5x3.5" bays) https://www.bitfenix.com/products/chassis-2/mini-itx/prodigy/prodigy-specs/ (old one, but I get it dirty and unused for cheap $15 usd) This nas will be in the home teather room, and I will like to play movies directly from the NAS without use another client to run (Shield or Amazon Fire Tv) Which is the best route to have the nas oriented OS, and run a GUI on top to have Kodi or Jellyfin client? May be CASAOS can be a choice? or I need VM to passthrough and use the HDMI port? I'm thiking something like the QNAP OS (QTS) with HybridDesk Station (model e.g. QNAP TVS-672XT NAS) Features: +Manage RAID5 5 hdds, and access (ftp, smb, nfs) +Play local files with the HDMI 2.0 port PLUS features: + A easy to use GUI, able to accept HDMI-CEC Inputs from the TV (via IR remote) + A GUI able to start different apps on top: Kodi, Jellyfin, + Moonligth or Steam game streaming could be a great feature to play games in the big screen instead of the main work computer of another floor + DTS, or Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos pass through via HDMI Thanks for your help, I just ask for an orientation to focus my efforts, I can be wandering for several OSs but I don't have the time to check every one. A step by step guide is not necessary, just the general panorama is enough. This is inspired by the JONSBO N1 NAS -

I could also put 2 fans from the case on top and the last 3rd p12 on the back, but I think there is no space (120mm and I found information that there is only space for a 92mm fan). What do you guys think about that configuration of parts and airflow, what would you change and what important tips do you have for me?

Went back and forth trying to tell my fortune of no thermal issues but it kept comming back, slowly but surely 100°C.. so its dialed back to a 4.4hz @ -120 voltage for both p cores and e cores.. reseated after some installation issues @ 92°C in VA at full CPU usage or "coverage"... it runs just shy or at 34000 cpu mark.. -
ITX MoBos: Asus ROG B760, AsRock Z790M and Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ULTRA all have a similar price. Which is the best one? afaik Asus makes B-series mobos that you can use to OC a little bit so I guess they have higher quality components, AsRock's mobo looks extremely simple but it has the Z790 chipset. Lastly, Gigabyte looks like it's in the middle: older gen chipset but still more "rich" than AsRock's mobo. I heard that between a Z690 and a Z790 there isn't much difference but the newer version (Z790 or B760) have better DDR5 memory controllers, right? -

I need some recommendations for a small ITX case using a SFX PSU. Here is my plan. I want to build a mini ITX PC. But the GPU is out of the case with a riser cable connecting to the motherboard. Cooler is Noctua NH-L12S which is about 70mm's height. So the case just needs to fit for a motherboard and a SFX PSU. The volume of the case is as small as possible. Seems like the pic below. And here is my build: CPU:7800x3d GPU: Garakuro 4090 (336mm*138mm*74mm) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 6000 CL-30 16GB*2 Cooler:Noctua NH-L12S PSU: Cooler Master 850w SFX PSU

So I got a huge case to build my gaming PC in. I bought it used with some damage, and bought new parts for it. Total I payed about 160 bucks. Corsair Obsidian 100D. Its a Freekin monster. Anyways. Im trying to figure out why i can mount a mini itx BEHIND my Atx. This mfer has room to cool like 3 full builds inside it, but ... like is it possible to build a mini and somehow use it to do processing for the main machine? Like a dasiy chain?. Look im new at this. I'm brand new and bought a case that weighs 60lbs empty. What a start . Mr gnome is here for emotional support.

Hello! A few years ago, my partner bought an iBUYPOWER pre-build, this unit, with: · ASUS RTX 2070 · Core i7 8700 · Regular size PSU / motherboard We just moved, so I gutted the components and sold the case. I’m now looking to rebuild it, but she wants a smaller case, the smaller the better. I’m pretty sure the previous case was a full tower (see link above for pic). I’m trying to research the cost and difficulty of rebuilding it into a smaller: · Mid tower (ATX) · Mini tower (ITX) · Small case (min-ITX) I know that the smaller we go, the higher the probably that a current part will not fit and will have to be replaced. But are there any generals rules I can follow to get a quick sense of the cost/difficulty for each option? Kind thanks!

Hello again! Anyone have any good sources I can check out for buying parts for my custom liquid cooling build? I keep going back to EKWB’s website but their CPU and GPU blocks keep going out of stock and I love their custom made blocks was wondering if there’s any other sources out there worth looking at. Thermaltake and Cosair wasn’t too impressed with. Optimus was the same as EKWB out of stock on a lot of things but their CPU block looked nice. Idk how to use Bitspowers website just seemed really confusing lol. Thanks in advance! also if anyone wanted to know my current setup. mobo - Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro CPU - Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU - MSI RTX 4090 gaming x trio Case - Thermaltake Core P1
