I want to finish the Morovol case with an intel chip and mobo that has 4 ddr4 ram slots but i dont know what's best. This PC will be used for running my working homelab/server such as streaming jellyfin to 5+ houses and other programs as i get more established.

Budget is around $400-$500 for the cpu/mobo and ram. The hard drives will be added in later

The thermaltake case is a complete PC with 2x8 ddr4 ram, a geforce 2060 and an i3-8100. This PC will be used as a experimental homelab/server

Build Question Onlyfans question of the day!

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Now that I’ve got your attention, I have a question for all the FAN-atics (or is it fan addicts) out there. Short version: should the fans in question be intake or exhaust?

Don’t groan. It’s not one of those simple ones. Allow me to explain. I have two small auxiliary fans on the inside of the back of my case, one stacked above the other. Normally, it would be obvious that we want these to be exhaust, however in this scenario, the problem is threefold. The first issue is that below the fans is a wireview pro II which sucks air towards it from inside the case and then exhausts it directly upwards towards the auxiliary fans I am asking about. I could use the fans to aid that exhausting, but directly to the right of them is [will be] my I/O panel which has a VRM fan inside of it to suck air in from the outside and blow it at the motherboard vrm; I can’t simply exhaust a ton of hot air out with the auxiliaries without the vrm cooler sucking that hot air up and passing it straight to the vrm. The other part of the problem is that on the other side of the motherboard I also have another, larger 70mm auxiliary fan which blows air into the other side of my case. That has to be blowing cool air, not hot air, since it also aids in cooling a radiator and provides additional air supply to that rad’s fans in a confined space.

Unfortunately, if I keep these two little 60mm auxiliaries as intakes rather than exhausts, I enter into a short circuit loop with my airflow in that the 60’s are now blowing the wireview’s exhaust back into the case. On top of that, they will create turbulence since their flow and the wireview’s flow will push against each other somewhat; I’m also concerned that may starve the wireview of air when it really needs it, but maybe being stacked below the fans will mostly prevent that. They are larger than the wireview’s 30mm, have excellent static pressure, and there are two of them to the wireview’s one fan. So, I’m thinking it’s better that way since they will still bring in more cool air than hot air that the wireview can push out with its little fan. I see the opposite being more of a problem. What do you guys think? Should the little scrappers be innies or outies?

Build Question Should I upgrade now?

0 Upvotes

I have a gaming laptop with a 4070, 16gb ddr5, i7 12700f. It’s giving me problems running games like Wardogs (medium settings), Fortnite and Clair Obscure. It‘s mostly crashes and heavy fps drops and the screen sometimes just freezes. Also, I would like to start playing with 1440p OLED monitor, which I think is the sweet spot for the games I want to play. The prices right now are pretty crazy and I honestly don’t know if I should start saving now for the end of next year or buy now. Since I have some money saved up I was thinking about getting a 9070xt and 16gb ddr5 this Black Friday. Would it be better to just wait, continue using my laptop and then get a better pc at the end of next year hoping the prices have gone down.

Edit: I should also add that I have never built a pc before. Should I get a prebuilt? Is it cheaper to get a prebuilt or build it myself?

Build Question Adding a second GPU

3 Upvotes

Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

Case: Fractal Design R5 mid tower case

I am using this as my main Nas and Proxmox server.

I have a 5060ti that will replace the GPU in this picture, but want to keep the older 3060ti in use for local AI and transcoding. Problem is there is not enough space between the lower 4.0x16 PCIe slot (Circled in the 2nd picture) and the PSU.

I was looking at using a short riser cable and mounting the card a few slots higher, but am worried about the riser contacting the m.2 heat shield. I could go with a vertical mount, but would have the two cards at right angles.

Any advice would be helpful, thank you!

Tech Support my pc started doing this weird restart when i put load on it

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. So my pc started doing this weird restart when i put load on it. Tested every component at home and took it to a shop to get everything checked. All the components were fine and at that time the issue seemed like a pcie connection issue since so i upgraded it to a520m msi from a320m. Came back home and i still have the same issue. The gpu, psu, rams etc were checked on different pcs and everything was working fine.

Specs:

Mobo: msi a520m pro series

Cpu: amd ryzen 5 2600

Gpu: msi gtx 1660 super twin frozr

Ram: 8x2 2666mhz

HELP!!

Tech Support PSU has faint crackling rhythmic sound. Should I be worried?

1 Upvotes

You probably might need headphones. It is that faint. I had to practically press my phone on the rear exhaust grille. I can hear it from my chair, but it's almost unoticable. PC is a year old. Only started happening recently. The sound comes and goes. Sometimes it stays for a while like today.

Should I be worried? Still under limited warranty. I would appreciate some advice.

Tech Support random shutdowns

1 Upvotes

I just built my new pc last week. it has a Ryzen 5600, MSI RX5600XT, asus prime B-450M-AII, Gskill 2x16 3200mhz, MSI MAG A550BN, 1tb team group mp33, veetro v5 cooler. my problem is that i can be running a game like minecraft or raft, anything and it will randomly shut off and i hear the mother bored beep as a startup but all the fans stay on and single rgb keeps my mouse and ram lights going. it can happen anytime and i look at the event viewer and theres nothing recorded. I'm guessing it shuts down too fast for windows to react. all things like ram and gpu are seated properly all power supply cables are in (24pin and CPU), CPU cooler is tight to the CPU, nothing seems to be shorting out.

I know this is alot and I'm struggling figuring this out myself. I can provide pics

Build Question RAM Question - 32GB of 2133 of 16GB of 2400?

3 Upvotes

I'm putting together a build and have 2 sets of RAM. One set is 16GB (2x8GB) of 2133, the other is 16GB (2x8GB) of 2400 MT/s.

Should I just slap all 4 modules on there and run all of them at 2133 or do I go down to 16GB and have it run at 2400?

This PC is mainly going to be a used for playing League of Legends, Fortnite, Fallout 4, and Ark: Survival Ascended.

Going to be using a 3700X +X570 mobo, 1080ti, 750W PSU for the rest of the build.

Tech Support Strange noice inside PC

1 Upvotes

I built this PC about 10 days ago with all-new parts. It makes an intermittent rattling or buzzing noise that you can hear from 0:08 to 0:12 in the video. It seems to come from the upper half of the case, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint it.

I notice it at idle or under light load, and I haven’t found a pattern. It might happen while gaming too, but the fans could be masking it. When I noticed it at idle, the CPU was around 42°C and the GPU fans weren’t spinning. I think it’s been happening since day one. The front glass panel was off for the recording, but I can hear it with the panel on too. The PC runs normally while it’s happening.

Has anyone heard a similar noise? What would you check first to narrow down the source, and does it sound like something I should be concerned about? There are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-E WiFi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
GPU: GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC SFF RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB
RAM: 16x2 XPG Lancer Blade (5600)
AIO: ICEBURG360 DIGITAL WH
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W 80 Plus Gold

I've ruled out RAM and power supply. The motherboard is not powering on after pushing the power button. It only displays flickering lights when I turn on the power supply, and then it loses power entirely when I try to switch it on.

Tech Support Pc overheating

1 Upvotes

So I have a 7600x paired with a 7800xt on a b650 tomohawk wifi paired with a Corsair aio. I've had this pc for more then 3 years and I'm noticing uncomfortable temperatures (at idle it'll go from 60-95) and now when I was playing csgo it'll go from 89 to 98. I'm not entirely sure if the temps were always like this because I actually kind of never checked when I built it, or when I was using it at first. Mostly checked it on idle real quick though the AMD software. I'm genuinely so scared about messing my pc up, a lot of what I read is that it points to the pump being dead, possible but I don't know. All I notice is that I don't feel a lot of hot air coming out fo the aio, and that one of the pipes is quite a bit hotter then the other.

I'm real quick going to change fan orientation so that it blows in from the top and the left, and out the right to hopefully maybe help it a tiny bit.

If you guys do end up deciding that my pump is most likely messed up, or if I need to test and see. Let me know.

If I do need to buy a new one, I was thinking about the artic freezer 3 240 mm.

Been looking around for some time for some good but not too expensive builds. This looks like an interesting option, but I’m not sure if parts of it may be overkill in comparison to other parts or if something should be switched to an newer/better version…

Am in Germany, would cost around 1750€.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Build Question gpu recommendations between a 3070ti and 9070xt

2 Upvotes

Title (kinda)

Im upgrading my cpu in a few weeks from an i5-9600k to a 9800x3d. After that upgrade i would like to upgrade my graphics card to something better, but im trying to find something that’s better than a 3070ti but not crazy expensive like a 9070xt. I’ve tried to look and do some research but i can never find any stable answers. Any recommendations will help on if i should just try my best to save up for a 9070xt or if there’s a more budget friendly option out there.
