The QDOLED 4k screens are well calibrated out of the the box so there really isn't anything you need to tweak with them to get a great experience.

If I have an old 800w corsair psu lying around how raped am I going to be by energy efficiency using that for a pc (jellyfin) that's only going to be drawing 200w max and sub 100w at idle but is on 24/7? is it worth getting a new 550w psu instead or is it negligible?

Cool but the last Samsung ssdrive I had was a piece of shit so I'll steer clear of it

>>102367389
Buy a 4k screen and cut off the excess

>>102367332
It really depends
Efficiency at low loads varies a lot between PSUs even if they have the same 80 plus rating.
I have an older PSU that is from 2006 I use for my router and its more efficient at low loads than a seasonic much newer.

>>102367417
In the short term I think that's a risk I'm willing to take.
Worst case scenario I have to shell out for a more stable and expensive drive for my os and games that are load bottlenecked. The write speeds I'm benchmarking it against are like 540mb/s on my ssd and 10mb/s on my current HDD though so I don't really expect to care unless it's unstable

>>102367332
Assuming your old PSU is working fine and it meets any standard there is no point in buying new one. Depending on the exact model the curve might be slightly different but it will be less than 5% efficiency difference.
So 3-4W of difference at 100W.

>>102367482
You will probably never tell the difference
The difference between "bad" and "good" SSDs are a few seconds in loading at the most.
Moving from an HDD to an SSD is 90% of the improvement

Isn't that too much for 1440p?

>>102367580
The psu is much better, the cooler is half the cost. You seem angry.

Nvidia GPU overclocking guides everywhere tell me that a good way to tell if a memory overclock is doing fine is if I'm not having a performance regression
However I haven't successfully found any benchmark or software that will make this obvious because I get inconsistent scores with or without undervolting/OCing.
Any reliable tests for this shit? Anything I can actually measure without being completely confused after doing multiple tests because there's no consistency at all?

>>102367456
>>102367502
thanks guys. I'm going to run with the 800w after all then and look around to pick something up for monitoring the power usage of the machine and pray it doesn't fuck me into electrically induced bankruptcy before I can get a proper gauge on it.

>Is there any reason to wait for X870E or should I just buy a good old X670E + 9950X?
Even the X670E is a bit of a meme. Check which motherboard has the best VRMs and the coolest backplate and go for that. There is a good chance it will be a B650E. X870E is the same but with a USB 4.0 and $200 on top of the already inflated price
>Is Samsung 990 Pro still the best OS SSD to date?
It's Solidigm P44 pro but it's about on par with 990 Pro and SN850X
>Are PCIe5 SSDs still a meme?
Yes, now more than ever for 99% of users
>Is 6000MHz/CL30 still the sweet spot, even for Zen5?
CL30 yes. If you could manually OC it to 7800 MHz it would be slightly better. Huge emphasis on slightly
>Any reason to get the overkill bequiet! Dark Power Pro 1300W over Dark Power 1000W?
If you have the money to spend you may as well but GPUs are trying to become better at drawing less power while providing the same performance

>>102367857
Problem with ICC profiles is most software flatout ignores them so calibration really needs to be at the hardware level to be seen.

I'm looking to build a PC for both gaming and 3D rendering. I want the ability to hot-swap hard disks with different operating systems easily. One slot for hot-swapping is sufficient, as I don’t want several hard disks mounted simultaneously for security reasons. The components should be highly compatible with Linux as a priority, while I will use Windows for gaming. My budget is $1,500 (the cheaper, the better), and I am located in Norway.

Frens,
I live in an area where the 4090 is banned and got one before it was banned so that I didn't have to take the massive price hike (was going to get it anyways). That took up almost all of my budget at the time so I got a 14500 from a friend for free and basically threw together a build from that.
So my question is is this a good path to upgrade the rest of the system to match the 4090? Or should I just use my current build (i5+32GB DDR4) for a while more and wait for newer CPUs to come out before upgrading?

Everything marked 0 dollars are stuff I already own. I would need a new case too since the card didn't fit in the case until I removed the middle front fan.

I legit cannot upgrade my PC cause my 4090 gets in the way and blocks the shit you have to push down to take it out, and underneath my 4090 is my SSD and RAM. + My Noctua is covering the other space and cuts the shit out of my fingers.

I can't really help you there, sorry, I'm thinking about upgrading from a 9700K but I can't find a mainboard with the connectivity I need that isn't overpriced. If you go with that mainboard, check the RAM compability list to make sure it's on there.
The cooler will certainly be sufficient for a 7800X3D.

Goldarnit was composing reply to cheap ECC build anon in the last thread.
>>102366759
>>102367730

For "cheap" full ECC support and desktop use you are maybe looking for a used workstation with Xeon CPU, but we don't know your actual budget (how many shekels you want to spend) or what your use case is (e.g., are you just looking at cat pictures or are you calculating the aggregate circumference of every living butthole on the planet).

I have an ECC system (HP Z840 with 128GB DDR4 in quad channel setup).

You know the cons of ECC already? Slower performing (only a little bit), not good for overclocking of RAM, more power draw.

Using a workstation and setting up for quad-channel if you can get it helps with the performance issue and won't be listening to some rackmount server with tiny fans screaming in your ear.

>>102366785
Wrong but love it when the armchair expert pops in. It all depends on what you are using the system for.

>>102367588

7900 GRE has a 260W TDP, what is the PSU in the system you are looking at? You need at least the 750 watt if not the 1100 watt one, the 450 and 495 watt ones would probably not be enough.

interesting stuff.
will try rollback bios to the one it came with and see if it does it still on command
I already turned off ram expo profiles from 6000 to default lows
later will test clean windows install without jellyfin foolery
maybe jellyfin is taxing igpu in some weird way when it wants that encoding
maybe will test with 4060 plugged in, that the build will go with in the end
will do some regular load tests and whatnot
if still common crashes it likely is a faulty mobo, will be ordering new one on monday

Only extremely CPU heavy games (that also benefit from the extra cache), and a lot of those also play like garbage no matter what CPU you have (e.g., Dragon's Dogma 2)

>>102371381
Radeon is garbage. All new games are designed around reconstruction, and FSR is extremely ugly. The VRAM is irrelevant, or nearly so. Also make sure your PSU is ATX 3.0

>>102370683
Far worse. You don't pay that much money on a graphics card to have unusable RT and trash tier reconstruction, not to mention trash tier drivers and associated features (e.g., Reflex vs AntiLag2)

>The most demanding games are demanding because shit optimization and not fidelity
I don't agree with this. There are a lot of games that have massive problems (e.g., Dragon's Dogma 2) and can therefore be considered """"demanding"""", but that's just shit optimization. The UE5 games that use hardware Lumen and Nanite are demanding because of the fidelity on display, although I'm sure UE5 is still in need of optimization

>>102371725
True.
But you would have to know it's an option, often people don't even enable XMP and run JEDEC which is funny because they paid for that OC profile and binning.

No one bought high end RDNA3 (and you'd have to be a retarded to do so). AMD is making a smart play by focusing on monolithic midrange and lower, where most of the sales are and where the competition is more desperately needed.

>>102371874
It's true that Radeon has basically been price matching Nvidia while being vastly worse, but of course everyone hope that either AMD will price its worse products appropriately or better yet actually get gud and provide a second option. Personally there's nothing that could make me buy Radeon right now no matter how cheap it is, but there could be a future where FSR becomes on par with DLSS (XeSS is already fairly close), and Radeon's RT performance improves or at least is good enough to be usable in conjunction with its upsampling

if you want a 1440p monitor, go ahead, you could even go for a really shitty mini led monitor with 500 zones (macbook pro had 10k zones and people railed it for the halo effect).
But good mini-led is as expensive as OLED, and same could be said about good VA / IPS (people genuinely don't notice the difference between IPS and OLED when you are not looking at the monitor in the dark).
Also your monitor might not be failing, could be something else, make sure to test.

Looks good. Here's some comments:

Definitely not necessary for that CPU. It's hardcapped under 100W which is easily done on air. Noting wrong with overkill cooling ofc just a good place to cut if you need to.
>Mobo
If you plan on using WiFi as a matter of course, get a dedicated AX210 card. Might cost £10 more overall but it'll beat the hell out of that Mediatek chipset.
>RAM and SSD
Could price-shop these a bit.

The RMe is kind of crappy for what you pay. It's perfectly safe but has reports of coil whine and is cost-cut compared to previous RM units (Teapo caps, cheaper fan, etc).

Should I just save up for a 5950X or just slap a 5800X3D and forget about it?

>>102373142
In general it looks decent. There are some changes I'd suggest though.
>CPU
Get the 7600 if it's cheaper. Same chip.
>RAM
6000C30 kits should be about the same price. C32 is still probably Hynix but it's not a sure thing.
>SSD
I would spend a little more here to get something with guaranteed TLC NAND.
>Card
Be aware that the Ventus model is pretty loud unless power limited. You're buying a big CPU cooler so noise seems to be a factor.

>>102373413
Yeah 5*00X3D and 32GB of RAM. You don't really need a new card right now (unless you're going to 4k) so I'd leave that as-is at least until next gen.

How long does the windows hack from github that's posted on here actually work before Microcuck wants me to pay?

Do people still actually buy Intel CPUs, sell or keep for myself?

Going from a 3600 and intel 600p to a 7800x3d and 990 pro has given BIG LEAGUE performance bros. Didn't change my gpu and the improvement alone is insane.

Who would have possibly thought that a poorly optimised janky mess would have high technical requirements?

I have a spare m.2 slot, what's the best budget 2tb drive?

>>102373853
I don't agree that it's poorly optimized. In fact for what it offers, it's one of the best optimized games out there (e.g., in terms of CPU core loading). On launch it had problems, but that was years ago, and there have been massive patches including an expansion

>>102373934
or higher than 2tb

>>102366789
Have the following CPU and mobo combos, both have 8gb of ram. Also have some 10+ year old GPU. Which should I put some extra money into to use as a basic media/browsing machine?


i7 2600
Asus p8p67

i5 6400
Gigagyte ga h170 gaming 3

I picked up a bigger case that I can hide an HDD in. I'm only interested in using SSDs for the system, but could I hide an HDD down there as a backup? Would that be pretty easy to setup?

Do know that some motherboards lower the speeds of other PCIe lanes if certain M2 slots are populated.
Check your motherboard's data sheet to check.

Get a Crucial P3. They're cheap and fast enough.

>>102374148
Backup? No
Extra storage? Sure. 22TB HDDs exists. Even 12TB ones are very affordable now.

>>102374174
No i didn't know that. I have an MSI b650 gaming plus wifi.

>>102374184
Oh okay, I've been meaning to start hoarding. I'll probably toss one down there and see where things go. Thanks.

>>102374174
>Crucial P3
The P3 is garbage. The P3 Plus is decent but there's no reason to buy it unless you're buying the 4 TB model

>>102373973
i5, RAM is honestly fine if you don't want to buy more. Make sure you have an SSD

1. As a matter of principle, I refuse to engage with the premise that cyberpunk is good. People spent too long dickriding it before it was released when I was already uninterested and then it turned out that CDPR were just blatantly lying through their teeth about both what the game was and how the game ran. I also just like being smug.
2. Balanced CPU core loading represents good architectural optimisation, but not necessarily good practical optimisation. There's a hard limit to the performance impact that can have of 1 order of magnitude and that's only if you're already cpu limited on a task that can be multithreaded. I suspect that for most people at their desired settings the game will be gpu limited instead unless they really cheaped out

>get something with guaranteed TLC NAND
What I found is almost double the cost. Is it really worth it?
>the Ventus model is pretty loud
>You're buying a big CPU cooler so noise seems to be a factor
I honestly didn't even consider the manufacturer when picking the GPU and I just chose the cooler mentioned in the other OP. The Asus Dual EVO and the EVO OC are around the same price, I'll look up some reviews and check if someone complains about the noise.
Thanks for your input, anon.

Opinions? I already have the SSDs and GPU, ordered the CPU for under 300e, also dunno to get either 32 or 64GB RAM. The reason I'm building now is because my current PC is dying and I'm looking to build a portable PC since I'm not fond of laptops. Country: Netherlands. I will get new SSDs and GPU later, this is just for start.
Additional question, what position is the best for mini PC during transport: upward position in a backpack or downward position that motherboard is at the bottom?

>>102374442
How do you know? You wouldn't lie to me, would you?

>>102374457
You don't need 64gb of ram. If you did you'd know and not be uncertain.

>>102374420
are you running a company that makes a profit? if not then Microsoft doesn't consider you worth their time. if you are then you have until you hire someone who sells you out to Microsoft license police for a bounty

This is the last time I buy an mAtx board and struggle for hours to plug shit in because my hands are huge

>>102374644
or, I guess revenue, not profit. Microsoft will certainly go after unprofitable startups

>>102374646
How is this a motherboard issue and not case issue?

>>102374200
Oooooooookay. Stop there. If you're hoarding and not actually going to use the data then you're better off NOT plugging it internally and use an external disk drive. Because whenever you boot your PC that HDD will spin up degrading it. If you're hoarding and not using the data it;s better for the drive to be left in cold storage. If you do access the data, like once every month then sure, plug it in.

>>102374313
>What I found is almost double the cost. Is it really worth it?
Not really. TLC just lasts a lot longer when it comes to writes. Reading data in QLC is fine. If you don't see yourself writing terabytes of data every week then you're fine with going for a cheaper drive. Crucial P3 is a good middle ground imo.

>>102374762
I could use a place to store my frogs and some other media(I back up quite a few youtube videos that I know will be removed at some point in the future). The only thing stopping me from going crazy is that I don't want all of that on an ssd. I'll give it a shot.

I have around 120TB of raw storage because I also hoard a bunch of shit. Speaking off, I think I need to add more space. I'm down to around 10TB left.

>>102374896
Nothing wrong with spinning rust in some form of RAID

>>102366789
My HDD is dying on me after 8 years, fucking gets loud when I download or it rides anything over 2GB.
This is my 2nd HDD in 16 years from Western Digital that dies due to faulty reading. Thank god I will upgrade my system and will buy a SSD.
Also funny how I rekted 1 PSU, 1 GPU and 2 HDDS in 16 years but my shitty i3 CPU, motherboard and RAM still works after 13 years.

>>102374980
sister...HDDs are only expected to have 5 years in them. Hell, even big cloud services trash their HDD after 4 years.

>>102374777
>Crucial P3
Sounds good to me. The Plus one is not even that expensive.
I've done some searching and people seem to like the Asus EVO. My only concern left is the cpu cooler getting in the way of the ram, but apparently it's not an issue.
Many thanks again

Okay I'm getting a WD blue as my shitter second m.2

anons, what is a good benchmark or test to run that lets me know where my graphics bottleneck is?

I'm glad the SSD autist exists

Whatever game you're having trouble running + RTSS
Full (or nearly full) GPU utilization means a GPU limit, GPU underutilization means CPU limit
