And because the companys they work with don't have FDB...

Mostly you see something like Nidec, Sanyo Denki, maybe Delta in Servers...

Can confirm as I decommission quite a few servers - Delta 2BBs are pretty damn common

Just some bapo nerd from 'Straya

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 PG, 80 Plus Gold 750W or EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1, 80+ GOLD 750W?

What are you powering? Instead of getting a bad 750W PSU, get a decent PSU at a more appropriate wattage

Have you already bought those parts? I'd very much change a lot of them if you haven't.

 

That system can be run of a CX450M, which I'd probably recommend for you, or similar. I'd also recommend an SSD that isn't crap and a few other things.

 

Here's a new list. Ask any questions about the changes you want.

It's a rough idea for what I want. GPU and HDD are already purchased. I'll defiantly take your advice on the SSD/MoBo though. Not sure why I picked that board in the 1st place besides looks. I REALLY liked the Lian Li cases from CES. PSU wise I was going for a modular power supply. I just saw those 2 on the EVGA b stock site. Had no idea if they were shit or not.

The first of the two EVGAs is good, the second not so much. But they're wildly overkill for your system.

 

If you need modularity then perhaps look at a Seasonic Focus Plus or Corsair TXM.

It seems like the PG is the NEX G. That's not a good unit, is it?

I assumed he meant P2, my bad. EVGA simply doesn't have enough series....

 

Yeah, the PG is a NEX, meaning hard pass please.

 Krait is pretty expensive and the VRM isn't needed with a 1600@4GHz (nor a 1700@4GHz for that matter),why not go for a Pro4 or Fatality Gaming K4 for cheaper?

It's cheaper than the X370 Asrock board which doesn't really offer more since the VRM isn't really any better. If you want a better VRM then you have to spend quite a bit more on the 6-phase Asus X370 Prime Pro. It's also black and white looks better than the cheaper Asrock boards.

 

I've used the B350M Pro4 and wouldn't recommend it. Too many issues with fan control and the VRM being a 3-phase. OC on it has to be done some in Ryzen Master (for SOC voltage since the BIOS doesn't allow for changing that)  and some in BIOS, there's no LLC, there's a fucking 3-pin fan header that only allows the fan plugged in to run at 100% fan speed - I could go on. If I were to start my friend's build over again I'd get the MSI Mortar (the only other OK mATX board at the time) since the fan control works properly with more headers, there's LLC, it looks nicer, and everything can be done in the BIOS.

You must talk about a completely different thing than I am.

 

A 1990 DOS PC usually had a very basic AMI BIOS looks like that:

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=26087

http://pcrebuilding.altervista.org/46/26/BIOS+TYPE/AMI/AMI+BIOS+HiFlex.html

 

And you can't set much anyway because there was no 'Soft Setting' for ie the CPU and other things. You needed to jumper the settings...

 

X370GT7 looks however like that:

I was joking, but I'm pretty sure that SOC voltage and LLC settings are either nonexistent or severely cut down in the BIOS of that board. I have never heard good things about Biostar boards and am still weary of using them.
