This is my new Home-Server build. I posted an older version of this a few years ago here, but this forum could do with a little more activity - so I thought I would post an update. Hopefully it’s of interest to someone. https://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=92916 My original server in...

This year I got it into my head to DIY a router, and it's been quite fun to put together and configure. The main advantage of DIY'ing a router is that the average AMD/Intel CPU is orders of magnitude better than what's in a router, so you can do so much more than a standard off the shelf router...

Thought I'd share - it's my new build for 2019. It would be my 1st totally new system in a good 3 years now. It marks my 1st all AMD system since 2013 too when I had an FX-8350 & Radeon 7950. Delighted with the result - New hardware is so nice - 7nm GPU & CPU. Fully PCIe 4.0 aswell...

TL;DR - A 450W PSU is plenty for a 3700X & RX 5700 XT. My desktop has a 3700X & a Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse which I'm running off a 450W SFX Corsair PSU. Sapphire actually has a 600W PSU requirement up on their website. https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pulse-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8g-gddr6 I...

This is my Home Server. It's sort of inspired by Tom's videos on his home server. It runs Plex, Sonarr, Radarr and acts as a Torrentslave, NAS & Backup machine for me. Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A Memory: 16GB Crucial DDR4-2400MHz Power Supply: Corsair AX760...

On my current media/file server I have 2 10TB hard drives, I thought about using RAID 1 for redundancy, but in the end settled on using sync software running in the background instead to sync all the files I want backed up from the 1st drive into the 2nd drive. To me this seems like the...

I've only noticed just now that Nvidia seem to have the option to buy a GTX 1080, GTX 1070 or Titan X direct from themselves, and not their partners (Gigabyte/MSi/Asus etc.) on their website. They're all Founder's Edition cards of course, they would presumably be the same kit that's sent to...

Just a challenge for anyone, since I can't seem to find what I'm looking for at all. Here are my requirements: < 500 Screen must be less than 15.6' Have a full HDD or SDD (doesn't matter) but not the 32GB/64GB eMMC options Processor - Must be a Core i3 or AMD A series It seems pretty damn...

I thought I'd post my newly updated HTPC since I'm quite pleased with the result. This started off with a different APU and motherboard in a Micro ATX tower, and has gone through quite a few changes but now it actually is a HTPC and looks the part to boot. I was debating upgrading the A6 to an...

Interesting site for some Steam statistics, you don't need to log on using your Steam account, just make sure your profile is left public. http://www.steamometer.com Here's what it tells me: Gives me a rather large portion of 40% of my library that I haven't played. Still not as bad as some...

I've had an issue with the 337.88 Nvidia driver with my GTX 560. Ever since I installed that I've noticed the GPU idle temperature to go up by a good 10C (50-55C), this wouldn't normally be a problem only it causes the fan to kick in. Given the GTX 560 I have is the MSi Twin Frozr variant so...

Recently AMD has been Quiet on the CPU front with only a bunch of low end components being added to their lineup. Just now Roy Taylor has shown us what could be a CPU to fight a Mid to High-end battle with Intel, lets hope this isn't another overclocked FX-8350. Source - [Twitter via Roy...

....just not on the desktop. ^_^ http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/34701-amd-leaks-mobile-kaveri-line-up Would make quite a potent compact gaming laptop, particularly at 720p.

So I was looking forward to setting up a new rig over this Easter weekend. All the parts were delivered with the exception of the case (a Fractal Design Node 304) so that skewed things. The reason for that is having a state owned and heavily unionized postal service that neither works on Good...

DirectX 12 to support existing hardware; first games due in late 2015 Source - TechReport I like the part of lower CPU usage, and supporting existing GPUs ie. AMD's GCN series and Nvidia's Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell GPUs. It's starting to look like I might be holding onto my existing setup...
