Question Ryzen 5600 running hot, 1st iTx build

Got a Ryzen 5 3600 gifted last year, so I built it in an itx case even worse for thermals than yours (Loque Raw S1). As far as I can remember using the stock cooler, Prime 95 would go into the mid 90es. So I bought a Snowman M400, and dropped temps about 10-12°C. But the best thing about the...

Question Problems with CPU/Mobo/RAM

Hi, I did run Prime95 for about an hour without problems, but since I'm still using the AMD Wratih Spire cooler, temps were spiking with the hottest core at about 91°C. So, with my case, Prime95 is not the way to go for long periods of time. If it realy did have a specialised memory test that...

Question Problems with CPU/Mobo/RAM

Just an update, after 11 pases with memtest with memory@3200-22-22-22-53 there were no errors detected. I guess I'll just live with it for now until I can isolate the problem further. But even though the 3000 series is finicky with RAM, I somehow have a hunch it is the mobo at fault here...

Question Problems with CPU/Mobo/RAM

First of all, thanks for all the suggestions! Much appreciated. Second, I let memtest run through the night, it is now at 5 passes and 0 errors. I'll let it run 8 passes since that should be a "complete" set of tests. Third, I can't mess with any settings in BIOS now, as even entering it will...

Question Pulling CPU Heatsink off rips out the cpu?

Sadly I don't have experience with socket AM4 systems. Would having the CPU upside-down (i.e. having the top of the legs facing the floor) help with that?

Question Pulling CPU Heatsink off rips out the cpu?

Allways twist the heatsink a bit before pulling. Reseat CPU, and see if it works.

Question Cheapest Gpu for Monitor 1440p/144hz (no gaming)

As far as I could research in 2 minutes of googling, you need at least DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 for that resolution/refresh combo. As per this link. (Scroll to the bottom of the page)

Question Is there still life in my i5-4690K?

Hi, my main PC has a 4670k @ 4.1. During lockdown I upgraded my monitor from a 1080 60 Hz to a 1440 144Hz adaptive sync one not just for better ergonomy for working from home but also for gaming in the near future. Since I sold my last graphics card when my daughter was born, I also borrowed a...

Dell Zino HD 400 - CPU Support Beyond X2 6850e

My very first HTPC had a 4050e in it on a 780G ECS mobo that had onboard 3200. I can recall that the 3200 ran 1080 youtube just fine under windows 7 with an Athlon X2 250. A coleague had a lesser mobo with the Radeon 3000 in it, and that one couldnt decode HD video. Had to use the CPU instead...

Need advice on small office server

I'd go the Synology NAS route. I think you are overbuilding for a simple file server. Go over to their page and see what they have to offer. Personaly, I think ECC is enterprise grade. Some offsite backup would probably be enough on top of the NAS server. Oh and re-using old harddrives? That's...

How long before Core2 becomes like Pentium4?

I have recently had experience with a "netbook" equipped with some N3xxx something CPU. Dont remember the exact model number, but it had four cores, no HT, 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. Thin and light, even the 1366 resolution and TN panel did not bother me at that diagonal (12-14", can't...
