    New Build questions

    I would like to go with the AM5, but its going to be a bit cost prohibitive I think, with DDR5 and such.

    New Build questions

    Hello Again. OK, so I am looking at rebuilding my PC (already posted before but redesigning it) Now, a little background. I am looking to upgrade my network at home, to a homelab/server Rack. What I want to be able to do with it, I am looking into a 1U Raspberry Pi “rack” for 3-4 Pi’s, for...

    Time to Upgrade

    Well I did think about getting the MoBo and CPU1st... then I could save a little more. I play in 4k whenever possible. I know Borderlands 3 looked pretty cool at 4k. I get it, it's not a super detailed game, but i do think it looked good. There was a game I played through Steam that is part...

    Time to Upgrade

    OK... If I swap out to the 3060 instead of the 3060ti or 3070 I can go up to a 1 TB NVME Gen4 drive. As long as I can install everything on the same drive as the OS, it would be fine. Then I can keep it under 1k still. @beers I like the idea of the 5700X, it just brings it back up over 1k...

    Time to Upgrade

    So.. in terms of the HD (going NVME thank you @beers and @johnb35) Would you go with say a single 1 or 2 TB drive, or a 256/512 OS only drive and a separate drive for programs? I WISH I had a microcenter somewhere near me/. closest is a few hours away unfortunatly.

    Backup

    I used one before for it, I just have that on my 3d printer now so I don't have one available. I may not have been pfsense, I think it was called piHole. I do not want cloud storage. well not that someone else has on a computer somewhere. I don't mind setting up a cloud type thing inside my...

    Time to Upgrade

    My other question is.. what about swapping out a 3060ti for the 3070? 1695 vs 1755 Hz and a 15-20% drop in cuda cores. is it worth it to save the $60?

    Time to Upgrade

    So, I have about 1k to spend, and with the dropping GPU prices I went up to a 3070 instead of the 3060 I was originally going to get. I am not married to AMD or Intel, but I have not built an AMD before. I upped the GPU and dropped the processor down to the 5600x 6 core as opposed to an 8 -12...

    Help me... what is difference...

    That is KIND of what I was thinking. The 2 fans vs 3 fans threw me off. Truthfully the 3070 is probably overkill for me, but go big or go home right lol

    Help me... what is difference...

    So I was looking at 3070's because my 970 is getting quite tired. There are multiples and I am not really sure the difference. https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3070-rtx-3070-ventus-2x-8g-oc-lhr/p/N82E16814137671?Item=N82E16814137671...

    Backup

    Thanks guys. Sorry, this is the 1st chance I have gotten to get back to this lol. That kind of week. TY @Okedokey, I had NOT realized it was different. What is RAID considered then, just data redundancy? Isn't that what a backup is? Not arguing, I guess I just did not totally understand what...

    Backup

    If this is in the wrong spot, by all means move it :-) So, I have usually backed up my photo's and documents locally on a second hard drive. I used FreeNAS for a while, but when the "OS" HD died I couldn't access anything and it made me a bit nervous. I do not want to use an offsite storage...

    Server/NAT

    Its an old computer I got from someone. It is basically an ASUS M series M11BB (https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-m-series-m11bb-tower-a10-6700-3-7-ghz-8-gb-hdd-1-tb/) I added a bit more ram IIRC so its at 12GB and a few HD. I installed FreeNAS 11.2 but I am terrified to updated it and lose...

    Server/NAT

    So, I am back... with more questions. I currently have a NAS server with Plex on it, but I want to make it a more user friendly setup for upgrading as updates come along. Right now I am stuck on an older version of Plex because I have NO idea how to run the update on it, and I cant get Plex to...

    Processor question.

    I have been scoping out new processors+GPU's to upgrade what I have currently. I noticed these 2 processors i9-9900K and i9-9900KF. It looks like the only difference (besides graphics) is L3 Cache... what is the difference between 1x16 and 8x2 in terms fo Cache? Also... and idea what is...
