Question Storage solutions for home server?

Here is the situation. I'm looking for a better storage setup for my home server. I'm currently just using a software RAID 1 setup in one of my PCs as network storage, but I'm looking for a solution that isn't going to cost a ton, but will give me better performance than running a software...

AMD 3700x with 470x

If you are thinking there will be a performance difference between B450/X470 and X570, you would mostly be wrong. They will all perform within a few % of each other. The real reason to go X570 is if you want the latest and greatest features, additional I/O, most up to date wifi (wifi 6), and...

Intel's response to the $79 Ryzen 5 1600?

That deal has been available for a couple of months. It is an insane value. You can pick up a 1600, a decent B450 motherboard, and 8GB of ok RAM for less than $200 after taxes. That's pretty hard to beat.

Draining your hard line tubing setup. Looking for ideas

So I've been messing with soft and hard line tubing setups for several years, but one of the things I feel like I don't have a good grasp on is getting a hard line tubing setup that's easy to drain. I usually drain my systems every 6 months - 1 year, and every time I do, I feel like it's a huge...

Question Should I be worried, or is this an error

So I'm not sure if I should be worried about the HW Monitor readout below, or just assume that its an error and ignore it. Notice the TMPIN6 is reading 120c as the temp for whatever sensor that is. This is at idle, and you can see the other temps are well within the normal range for an idling...

Question Any idea what's wrong with my 1080ti?

Well I'm 90% sure that whatever is wrong with card was caused by changing out the cooler, so I wouldn't feel great about sending the card back for something that is not supposed to be covered under warranty. Also it has non-stock thermal pads, and paste on it, so I'm sure the warranty wouldn't...

Question Any idea what's wrong with my 1080ti?

I have my 1080ti normally in my main system which is running a custom loop. Long story short, I have my motherboard from that system in for an RMA, and was wanting to use the 1080ti on my backup system while I wait on a new motherboard, so I reinstalled the air cooler (it's a founders edition)...

Question Looking for micro atx recommendations

Unfortunately there is a dearth of good micro ATX cases. Fractal does have a couple of good ones, the Meshify C mini is a good option, and also the Define Mini C TG edition isn't bad. You can also check out the Corsair 280X if that's your thing.

Can this CPU be upgraded?

I'm guessing you didn't read the last paragraph of my post. For the OP, if he wants to stay with his current platform, get a 2600k or 3770k and be done with it. It will be a noticeable upgrade to what he has now. If he's going to upgrade his platform, the R5 1600 or R5 2600 would be the best...

can you suggested me the best best monitors with 1440p Gsync monitor.with ips in 27 size ? inch size

I would say it really depends on which games you play. Many multiplayer games like overwatch and PUBG support the 21:9 aspect, but actually end up cutting down your vertical FOV because they cut off the bottom and top of the image to make it fit that aspect ratio. So you end up with the...

Can this CPU be upgraded?

I'm not trying to get in a whole thing, but you are way off. Just taking the set of gaming benchmarks (Civ 6, Ashes, SoM, GTA V) that were run with a GTX 1080 at 1080p resolution. The average for the average framerates of the 2600k was 81.17 versus 90.70 for the 1600x. This is the Ryzens weak...

I think maybe you were looking at those graphs backwards chief. The 1600 was comparable to the 2600k in everything BUT rocket league. The 1600 was kicking the 2600k up and down the field on everything non-game related.

I don't know what tasks you are looking at, but even in games, the 1600 is going to outperform the 2600 most of the time. In anything like encoding, editing, rendering, and even general windows tasks, the 1600 is going to smoke a 2600k

Can this CPU be upgraded?

The problem you will run into is that you will need to upgrade the memory to DDR4 as well, and 16gb of DDR4 will cost nearly what a decent CPU/MB will cost. If you are set on upgrading though, I would highly recommend a Ryzen 1600, and a B350/B450 MB. If you live near a Microcenter you can pick...
