Need a bit of advice on The Unc Box.
Here's how it stands:
>CPU: Ryzen 5 5650GE
>COOLER: A620 GDL
>MOBO: ROG STRIX B550-F
>RAM: 16GB DDR4 2600MT/s
>GPU: 1080Ti
>BOX: Montech HS01
>PSU: Montech Century 550W
>SSD: 256 SATA SSD.
>HDD: Old ass 2TB HDD

Basically the story is my nephew wants a "Gaming PC", and so my sister said "Hey, you do computers, can you do us a computer" and I said "Yeah, I guess I have some spare parts?" and I cobbled this together, bought a new case for it, PSU and MOBO for it.
But, it's obviously pretty lacking in some areas, the SATA SSD and HDD are pretty brutal. 1080Ti is old, and really needs repasting, but I haven't done that before and I don't want to break it, so a hot and loud GPU is better than no GPU. Case has a weird fan layout.

So, what I wanna know is, if I say to the lad "Here's a PC, it's kinda old, but if you save up X amount for Y part, I can buy it and fit it for you" what parts would you guys suggest? I guess an M.2 is the obvious one. And a GPU is next on the list.

rtx 5050 or rx 7600? I'm buying new just want to play at 1080p

I built a new PC and installed the drivers. After a short period of use, I left it inactive for a while, and during that time it suddenly shut down. When I turned it on again, the GPU fans did not initially spin, and the PC did not post. After some time, the fans began spinning, and the PC posted. The first time when I turned the pc on, the gpu fans spinned the moment I pressed the power button but not that time.

Now, I powered the PC again, and the GPU fans spun instantly.

Is this an issue with the GPU, or was it just a new pc getting its bearings?

Any type of SSD with a reasonable TBW endurance rating, GPU & CPU.

The legitimate ones and earn enough money selling working tray CPUs.
You should only spend as much as you're willing to write off in case of getting a defective processor.
I would've drawn the line at the $150ish 5700X3D a few years ago.

>>109584487
>Not a good sign.
What should I do to trouble shoot?

>>109584541
start with memory
gpu is probably a red herring - fan stop at low temperature is common, when you started it the second time it had already warmed up so the fans started up right away

>>109584541
Check the power plan and see if the PC went to sleep.
Get HWInfo and check the operating temperature of the components.
Make sure all the power cables are fully inserted (hear the click).
This is a long shot, but disable Fast Boot in Windows & the board BIOS.

Check whether the memory modules are fully seated.
Check whether CPU cooler is firmly mounted (ideally even mounting pressure applied).
Check storage drive connections.

check the mobo manual, it's supposed to do beeps, flash signals, show a debug number on some small panel when something's wrong. if it uses beeps for debugging, you might need to get one of these bad boys lol

>>109584434
If all your other parts are white and you have a spare 64GB DDR5 stick to use as a RAMdisk, why not?

>>109584451
>Now, I powered the PC again, and the GPU fans spun instantly.
nobody can possibly tell you what "a gpu" should do.

>>109584434
unless you want the screen and have tons of m2 laying around there isn't really a point to. PCIe sockets are lower, primary GPU starts at the third expansion slot as warning. It also has no hdmi out only display port using usb 4. If you just want two m2 in X4 pcie gen 5 without usb 4 the dark hero or 2006 are better.

I have a 4 year old 3070, is spending 700$ on a regular 5070 worth it for some future proofing until the big crash

>>109584642

>>109584574
>>109584576
>>109584642
>>109584704
HWinfo showed that everything is connected, and the temps look normal.

I'm fairly the cables and components are connected correctly but I guess this will be the first thing I check if it happens again.

Is it possible that it's a BIOS issue? I think the BIOS in my mobo is somewhat old.

>I was hoping to pick up another 6950xt on the cheap
>they've gone up

>>109584800
read up on what your gpu does, why might it have done that?

has anyone tuned their 5800x3d? what PPT EDC TDC you guys are using? is 100 70 100 what people still use? has anyone tried to min max it yet? any benefits going lower?

why are psu shrouds mandatory in like every case

>>109585555
it's the difference between 2 seconds and 4 seconds load times. big numbers on pcie5 NVME makes people forget just how capable a SATA SSD is, even in the worst case scenario for them, directstorage pumping out big compressed files into VRAM straight from the SSD, SATA SSDs manage 2GB/s, which is only going to be slow once pumping out 32GB of data into VRAM on every loading screen becomes routine.

You'll need to do more research and get 100% confirmation from those board owners.
You will need ECC-supported UDIMMs, and avoid standard (non-Pro) AM4 -G CPUs.
AMD doesn't validate ECC support for AM4 consumer platform.

it introduces a new point of failure in theory but you can see the ampere on each pin and if one exceeds a certain value it can beep or shut down your pc. If you don't mind MSI centre with a new PSU AI1300TS or AI1600TS have a similar ampere sensing as the Asus astral just on the PSU side as alternative.

Literally every other manufacturer with a "lifetime" warranty is going to do the same shit when stock is non-existent as they have done in the past.

Micron is only being singled out because they are on the consumers shit list.

because they got rammed by lawsuits. the console was not only rrod'ing but also destroying discs if it fell. the warranty was originally 3 months and the lawsuits scared them into extending it.

Just werks here. And superbly even. With a PBOed 16-core.
I suspect skill issues.

my theory is that some batch of sockets (maybe the substrate (maybe both even)) are just enough out of spec that the cpu can thermally crawl so pins make contact to pads they arent supposed to.

I know AMD never released their X3D CPU's first but with intel releasing the LBBC cpus first surely this time they will release the 10800x3d first

>>109591227
I believe it is 100% bios related issue. amd bios is whacky and out of standard. you can buy from 3 different vendors and each one will have a different default memory refresh mode. one will have normal (what amd intended originally), the other will have fgr (what amd recommends now), and the last will have mixed (normal & fgr combined).

depending on your ram kit this is a nightmare.

>>109591237
x3ds are made from server reject chips. zen6 just came out to servers and now they are building that x3d pile.

>>109591276
no, consumer x3d is made from rejected server x3d
its not like they take the non-x3d reject dies and then add the cache
there are no x3d zen 6 epyc chips shipping yet

>>109591386
I thought the whole point of the chiplet process is that they can modify socs on the fly unlike monolith where they have to redo the whole design.

>>109591386
what does it mean. I am just tired of waitfagging and the 9800x3d keeps dropping in price

>>109591474
The process of making an x3d die is taking a regular die and stacking cache on top of it, which isn't free and has its own yield percentage
You want to take known good CCDs and apply the extra cache layers
Starting with a shitty CCD would be a waste

>>109591489
Its the difference between waiting until January and maybe waiting until March/April
Fuck if I know what AMD is going to do, but we should find out at CES.

>>109591474
It's a matter of profitability, not feasibility.
There's less money to be made when you package those chiplets in consumer CPUs.
The new silicon wafers should prioritize making server chips, whatever downstream products left for consumers.

>But Intel doing client Nova Lake first
Probably because their new Xeon CPUs are still behind Epycs in both performance & enterprise demand.

I don't really play the latest AAA titles, about the most resource-intensive gaming I've done in the past few years were Witcher 3, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and modded Skyrim, but I would like a secondary computer to act as an HTPC in another room in my house that can also access my media on the network.

It has the specs of an entry level/mid range gaming laptop, the GPU is a semi-custom mobile RX 7600.
You can treat that Steam Machine as an expensive Steam Remote Play station for TV gaming, where your beefier PC runs the actual game.
You can build a cheaper ITX HTPC if you just want to use Steam Remote Play.

the GPU in the steam machine alone makes it $300 more expensive.
you don't need a gaming GPU for home theater.
but if you are including gaming for HTPC, and by theater you mean watching netflix in a browser, I assume that's fine.
Also you can buy a really expensive KVM switch that supports freesync/gsync (for your main monitor, your TV probably doesn't have it), and just wire up everything up (usb hub for KB+M and a hdmi cable) so that you can switch between your HTPC room with a press of a button (and I believe steam OS is just big picture mode, and you can just buy the steam controller if you want to a dedicated scroll pad on your controller for netflix).
