Hey guys, I posted a few months back about using those cheap used Nvidia server class GPUs in a workstation computer. I finally completed my build, and I am proud to announce that I have managed to use an Nvidia P40 for my workstation-oriented PC. Other than that, I used: CPU: Ryzen 7700X Mainboard: Asus Prime B650 Plus RAM: 32GB DDR5 Crucial @4800 GPU Cooler: Morpheus 2 core edition SSD: 2TB Kingston M.2 SSD Power supply: 700W BeQuiet! System Power 9 PCIE power to CPU adapter for the GPU Anti-sag support for the GPU Zalman S2 case Alpenföhn Ben Nevis CPU cooler 3 extra case fans + 2 for the GPU cooler (P12 Slim) I also had to buy some small heatsinks for the VRAMs on the back of the GPU. So far, the system is very performant (I can post some benchmarks if needed later, but 60+ FPS for Minecraft with RTX shaders, max render distance, all settings ultra, speaks for itself, especially since it's a 200$ GPU. Of course, the total price of the GPU is closer to 300$, since the cooling solution, as well as the adapter cable, totals around 100$. I have connected the GPU fans directly to the mainboard, where I use FanControl to set fan curves - even under a lot of stress (Furmark, Blender render, Stable diffusion) the card never exceeds 55°C with around 55% fan speed. Please let me know if you have further questions regarding my build or any complaints about my configuration.

HP Z400 setup what should I know about it?
Decoder Tech posted a topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Hello, So I got some good deals on a HP Z400 6dimms motherboard, 12GB of ram and a Intel w3570 CPU need to got a few more things but I noticed that they said it uses a proprietary PSU. I tried to modify my existing PSU and realise it got frayed in my last build so a no go there. Besides I need a new PSU and a modded extension cable for it is there anything else I should know about this platform? -

I am using a HP Z8 G4 Workstation currently fitted with 2x Xeon 5122. Looking at the product specifications for supported CPUs, it is an incomplete list of Xeons from this generation. I am considering upgrading the CPUs to 2 x Xeon 8173M, but am having a hard time finding out if this CPU is *actually* supported by the MB. I have tried to contact HP technical, but yeah, good luck with that..... Are there *any* reasons this CPU is not supported by the system? It could be specified with a even higher end CPU in the Xeon 8180

Budget (including currency): 10K-15K Euros Country: EU Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Ubuntu, R, Python, Software requires high-end GPU for calculations Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Fresh build. Hi, I am a Ph.D. student in live sciences, and I need to analyze large datasets produced by NGS (next-generation sequencing). I use Ubuntu for convenience and community support. R and Python are the main languages that I use, and objects that we are working on are reaching 70-100 GB (in the future, I probably need more). And some packages require raw data to work with, in these cases it requires to use 32-64 threads and >256GB ram. And, some other packages require high-end GPU (with ram and compute power). Since lots of packages and tools are in constant development, there is a constant flow of errors, and some of them require administrator privileges to fix them. For this reason, I cannot use shared server space (most of the time, response time and solutions are too slow for this kind of work). Some of my colleagues solved their problem by getting a high-end workstation. Our IT department requested for me to come up with a list. Since my tech-savvy is limited to upgrading the SSD on my laptop, I want to ask for your recommendations and opinions. I think these are what I need; high thread CPU (>=64) high/reasonable fast RAM (ideally 512 gb) High-capacity storage for passive files (HDD min 20 TB) Fast storage for active projects (nvme SSD type min 4 TB) support for multiple Nvidia GPU support for 10 gigabits ethernet speed Thanks in advance for your time, input, and opinions.

Hi guys, I know the title sounds paradoxical in its face. But indeed, I would appreciate recommendations for CPUs that have low idling energy usage (~20-50W max) while having superior or at least comparable multithread performance compared to a 14900K and preferably also higher maximum RAM support. I don't mind the energy consumption when its under load (it can hit 600W for all I care), but what I am looking for is a CPU with low idle power draw. In fact, the 13900k/14900k themselves are good examples of CPUs that might fit this criteria - the power draw of my 13900k could be as low as 20W at idle, but their multicore performance is great (albeit the power draw under load is pretty high - but that's okay). Alas, I require a CPU which is more powerful and/or supports more RAM than the 13900k. Budget is not an issue. Honestly I was thinking of getting the Threadripper 7980x, if not for the fact that I read that its idling power draw is ~150W. Server CPUs are fine too. Alternatively, is there a way to play with the (bios) setting of the Threadripper to lower its idling power usage to <50W while maintaining its peak performance? Thanks so much!

We don't get why everyone thinks it's so off topic for a furry/kith other-hearted Animaloid human heart-type who does cinematography video editing and gaming to want to use 8k resolution to out do YouTube comprehension, it's a artistic design choice!!! 4k AV1 doesn't come close enough to looking real life!!!!!!!!! also we don't get how it is off topic for a PC of this class to have 128 GB DDR5 RAM, RTX**90 class GPU and a AMD Ryzen AM5 socket motherboard we just have higher expectations and standards than most people who are looking to build a PC here's what we do for gaming and editing so you can see what we are doing for a higher resolution than 4k because we are all transitioning to 8k in the coming years of 2024-2025 enjoy our stuff everyone!!!!!! That's our off topic rant about technology!!!

Budget (including currency): Not really sure? I don't know what my budget should be with my existing parts, I'm not in a dire need to upgrade soon but I wanna know what I should be looking at within the next year or so to have a machine that will last me for a good few years. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I use primarily FL Studio, but I also use Ableton Live. I also do some video editing and photo editing, as well as game occasionally. I'm a jack of all trades lol. I don't take gaming too seriously though, the most I play is like minecraft. In terms of the production software I use, I have really large tracks. I make EDM and I'll have around 60-90 tracks a song. I frequently lag out of projects though I'll get into that in the other details section Other details Right now I have an mATX board with an intel i5 8600k. As far as I know it's a perfectly fine chip for most cases, but I'm not sure, we're at the 14th gen now so I'm probably missing out on a lot. I'm not very familiar with the new stuff that's been coming out. I come from the days of SLI and when the 780ti was the best gpu you could get, and haven't extensively looked into upgrading basically since I got this 8th gen chip. I also have a gtx 960 which I know is kind of shit, but it doesn't bother me that much besides playing some bigger games and with video. I also currently have 8gb of ram, but I'm getting a 64gb kit in the mail soon. I also have some SSD's and a seagate hybrid drive to boot off of, but it'd be nice to switch to an m.2 for booting! I also want this to be ITX as I go between places a lot, and am a college student. I was heavily considering a Mac Studio, those things are absolute beasts for what I want to do, however I've been on Windows my entire life and my little experience with MacOS hasn't been great to say the least. I actually had Windows on my Intel MacBook Pro for a while. I'm also not a huge fan of the non upgradability of it. Any pointers into the right direction would be greatly helpful. Thanks!

Budget & Location Trying to work on the cheaper end as I already have the bulk of everything needed. But let's say $200-250 CAD max for mine and $200-300 CAD for my wife's PC. If there are valid reasons given, we can start planning out longer-term upgrades & begin saving for better parts for all PCs Vancouver, BC, Canada 2. Aim I work as a freelance audio engineer, and audio & video editor. My wife is a freelance web + graphic designer. We both use our PCs for work with Adobe CC and occasional gaming. I typically work at 1440p when my wife's not using the PC, or 1080p when she is. Gaming is often at 1080p but I've been using Dynamic Super Resolution to 1440p/4K for testing (which I'm not sure really does much for picture quality on the 1080p display). As I use my PC to record audio and video in my studio office, I need both PCs to be incredibly silent and not crash. ASUS Armory Crate is fine, however, I'm looking for almost inaudible operation; except when gaming/video editing. Good closed-back headphones (DT 770 Pro 250 Omhs) eliminate most of the noise but I still use my M-Audio AV32 studio monitors (or more so my wife does). At this point, the bulk of the noise is coming from the 5600g and Gigabyte Eagle RX 6600's heatsink cooler fans in the Node 202. Part of this upgrade is to maybe look into a different case for my wife that's still not too big. Her last PC had a Cooler Master Masterbox (I believe; it was from 2016-2017) and if the desk is set up correctly, I think it would be fine. We're not opposed to mATX or regular ATX, just got a good deal for this whole mini ITX. A mobo swap to something name-brand might just be better in the long run and mATX boards are easier to find and cheaper overall. In fact, we're not sure if the GPU, RAM or motherboard are causing the occasional visual glitch with Chrome on my wife's PC. Additional note: I have a bunch of drives and use all three PCs as file servers on gigabit LAN, so upgrading to a Define 7 might be a better option for my PC (but that's not in the budget right now but something I wanted to bring up). I like having a side panel window but I typically turn all my RGB off since it can be distracting. The Node 202 has a different Lian-Li PSU (which has been great) but because of the way the plug goes, the 202 case won't fully close and has a small bump; the case's U-shaped stand won't fully fit and her PC and has been put aside. The mini ITX case is in the middle of the desk behind the monitors. My wife has mentioned wanting to purchase a Macbook and her dad may just sell us his 2017 Air for a cheaper price since we recently sold her 2020 M1 Macbook Air (freelance doesn't always pay, kids lol). This could end up being a simple case swap for her PC. For the desk, we're using an IKEA Linmonn 78" tabletop with 4-5 legs that likely needs to be replaced, with an LTT Northern Lights deskpad. (currently only 2 legs and a white Alex 5-drawer cabinet). I like my DeepCool case but I'm not opposed to something silence-focused like the Define 7/XL. 3. Monitors 🖥 HP 27fw 1920x1080 IPS 75Hz - birthday gift from 2018 Gigabyte M27Q 2560x1440 IPS 170Hz - paid $100 CAD, has a couple of cosmetic issues Microsoft Surface Pro 2 i5 4300u - can be used as a spare wireless monitor Long term, I could upgrade to an additional 27"+ 1440p/4K IPS display or a single massive Ultrawide with Picture In Picture, so my wife and I can have our own displays but we're fine for now. 4. Peripherals ⌨🖱 Already covered, no need to upgrade. 5. Why are you upgrading Ideally, if I had the budget for a 4090, I'd buy a 4090 because Path Tracing is great but as my PC is more than fine for my needs, the upgrades for my PC are more acoustic and temps focused, than gaming-centric. My wife's PC might just need a quieter CPU cooler, case and possible GPU swap (but that could be pricey as the RX 6600 is working fine, just louder as the fan speed increases). Would there be much of a real-world difference using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Adobe XD if she upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5700/5800x/Ryzen 9 5900x over the 5600g? Or would the differences in work be negligible? I'm honestly leaning towards another B550 mobo with 6+ SATA ports and a larger case swap for her as that might balance out the noise and temps. If we could find something in pink, I know she'd really love it 6. Additional info Side point for future consideration; how long will my 5900x and 3060Ti be useful (I know this is more contentious due to the "lower" VRAM lol) in work and games? Would I notice any massive improvements in workstation tasks & gaming that would make upgrading to a Ryzen 9 7th gen a more value-focused option? And say I wanted to upgrade my GPU to something better, has anyone been able to find a suitable option on the AMD Radeon side that would be comparable with OpenCL performance to CUDA in Adobe CC to this 3060Ti or even better? Or should I just go with a 4070/Ti/4080 and be done with it? I've been eying up both the RTX 4070Ti/4080 and RX 7900 XT/XTX as long-term investment goals but having a toddler makes this far less of a priority, if my 3060Ti can handle Path Tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake II with DLSS on xD My PC is pictured below. I noticed that one of the fans will rattle at higher RPMs, so I may need to adjust the mount or go for another 140mm. I'm not opposed to Noctua fans since RGB is fine but not a requirement. I didn't mention it, but I have a spare EVGA fully modular 80+ (Bronze or Gold) 750w PSU that I would need to find time to swap out and cable management. I also have one of my 870 QVO 1TB SSDs that has the plastic connector broken off with the pins still accessible in the SATA data port (cable has the plastic housing stuck) that's not touched but could be dying as I get disk write issues when updating Steam games on that drive. Once again thanks in advance folks and I truly appreciate you helping out and giving some time to help solve this

Overall the system will primarily be used for Unity development over the next few years and games such as BG3. Ray tracing is not all that important and won't be used during development of games etc. Budget for the desktop is £2250 and a colour accurate monitor for £300 + calibrator for £100 . Any thoughts on the specs etc, haven't decided on a monitor just yet.... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gy3JkJ Cheers for any help in advance, Lex.

I have a desktop that I use as a work computer. I travel with it back and forth twice a week. Literally shut it down. Worked fine. Got home and it won't post. The small fan on the motherboard spools to max rpm and stays there. I've checked all the connections. Unplugged and replugged them back in. Disconnected the graphics card. Ran hdmi out of the motherboard in case it was a card issue and still no luck. Any suggestions? (It's in an XTIA open case. See pictures for other specs) This was also posted on Reddit. Recap based off their suggestions- I’ve reseated the memory, and ssd.

Hi, i recently build an Workstation with two Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs, but despite the temps being moderate the cpu fans go absolutly nuts, i've installed the chipset drivers, but that didnt help... Help would be appreciated since that thing is being heard through out the whole building. i have also looked through the bios, but couldn't find the option for the cpu fans, maybe an bios update would help? System Specs: 1x Intel Server Board S2600STB 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6150 1x Nvidia Quadro P2000 (Main GPU) 1x Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 5x Some Server case fans NOTE: The RTX 6000 is driven using an External ATX PSU, removing any system components makes no difference. Yes i always talk like that when i am annoyed by something 20231007_111113_1_1.mp4

As the title suggest, I am pondering wether to upgrade the CPUs in a workstation that is used to do analytical work (cpu based) The workstation in question is a HP Z8 G4 that is currently equipped with dual xeon 5122 cpus. There is a cooling tower for each cpu with a can blowing air over the tower that is then ducted out of the case. The TDP for one cpu is 105W. How do I figure out how much cooling capacity this setup has? I see the xeon lineup for the socket 3647 is maxed out at the W-3175X with at tpd of 255W. The PSU is 1700W so this should not be any problem. But how do I figure out what the max cooling capacity of the cpu cooler is? How big a upgrad on the cpu would be possible? The 5122 only boosts up to 3,7 GHz but the higher end w-2175x no only give tone of extra cores, also boosts to 4,3 GHz. Would such an upgrade be possible without any additional changes of modifications?

I put together a new system with a ryzen 9 5900x and a pro WS x570 ace that had been sitting on a shelf for the past 2.5 years. This board is terrible, I have to restart my system 10 times before it will boot, after then, it will reboot by itself after 0.5-5 minutes (or BSOD), assuming that it will even recognize my boot SSD. I've spent like 15 hours over the past 2 days trying to get the POS to work, installing new PCH drivers, new bios, NADA. So much for being a workstation board when it's got the stability of a family of alcoholics. What do I do?

Budget (including currency): 1,800USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:(Data science major) Excel,R studio, Jet Brains Suite, Rainbow Six siege, racing games, AAA titles, eventually want to try vr games! Information on the build itself- I'm switching from mac to windows and everything will be fresh. To begin as far as part prefrences I would like to keep the same "quality" or Industrial rigidiy that i experienced at apple. Im not to big on RGB but I do appricate white lights on black. Im going for a more industrial look and feel. I want to use this desktop as my main computer for everything. As for peripherals, I'm leaning towards Logitech because they are familiar from the mac world and they've never done me wrong. For monitors I got the COSTCO special 2 years ago {Msi 27in 1080p 175hz monitor} and I don't mind 1080p gaming since I've been only used to XBOX all my life. Ive attached a screenshot of my part list from pc part picker.

I will almost always have power, so battery life isn't a huge concern. Must haves: RJ45 Ethernet HDMI output USB-A Windows Pro Ten key / full size keyboard Nice to haves: MUX switch (switch between integrated & dedicated graphics) 4k display 120 HZ I have seen these on Newegg.com MSI Stealth 17 Studio A13VI-017US MSI Raider GE78 HX 13VH-080US HP ZBook Fury G10 WQUXGA Battery saving - MSI CreatorPro X17 A12UKS-060 Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Budget (including currency): 6500 USD / 70.000 NOK incl VAT Country: Norway Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Machine learning, simulations, robotics Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Starting some early planning for a build that will happen either to the end of 2023 or q1/q2 2024. My research adviser has said to avoid workstation graphic cards from the Quadro lineup and use GTX 30 or 40 series (he is rocking a 3090) I dont´t think a Threadripper class of workstation is applicable here. Nor is the budget high enough. But I have been looking at 7950 X3D 4090 128 GB DDR5 6000MT/s 1200W Corsair PSU Any comments or other recommendations? If these parts were to be selected, what manufacturers would be preferable, now that EVGA no longer makes GPUs? MSI motherboard and GPU? ASUS? Gigabyte? What would you choose and why?

Hello, Ive had this build for quite some time and Im not able to upgrade (working with what I have) Ive gotten into hardware monitoring and trying to make my rig as efficient as it can be. Ive used several hardware monitors , NZXT, HWinfo, Speedfan etc and the temps are weird, my CPUs are running within parameters idle and at load but across all monitor programs my SystIN is over 100 deg celcius. also Ive had an issue controling the fans through the bios, the reads are between 300-800 fan speed at load and this seems way too low as Ive seen workstation fans in the thousands but can seem to get my fans to ramp up when the temps get hot and seemingly no way to control it. asus Z10pe-d16 ws 64 gb ram 2400 dual gtx 1080s dual xeon E5-2640 v4 processor CPU coolers x2 noctua 14s (i believe) case Phantek enthoo pro x2 noctua bottom case fans x2 noctua ceiling case fans x1 giant front panel phantek case fan x1 phantek rear case fan 15 all front and bottom case fans are blowing into the case all top and rear case fans are blowing out of the case but I cant get the fans to throttle up at all. Ill gladly post the HW monitor log when I get a chance but if anyone has thoughts? Ive also noticed a new development of one of my ssds is not noticed by bios on boot occassionally and the audio through my focusrite is becoming garbled and having digital crunchy dropouts sometimes.

Hi, I'm asking on behalf of a 3d artist looking to upgrade their workstation and I'd like to gain some insight into which type of card would best suit their purpose. Background information: - current pc is a Ryzen 9 5900x, 64gb ram, 3060ti 8GB - Daily used programs are Unreal Engine 5, 3dsMax, Vray, Sketchup, Revit, Substance Painter - They create photorealistic models and simulations of the exterior and interior of architectural buildings For these applications, which card would be better suited to the workflow and why? Also, are the differences worth that extra increase in price for the A5500? Thanks,
