OK so like every other PC under my ownership this one is getting an upgrade.
I removed the Threadripper ages ago. I sold that, and 3/4 of the RAM. That leaves me with two 8gb sticks running at 3200, and I have two Corsair DP at the same speed. I am sure I can get it all running.
I will have an 11400F left over from the TV gaming PC soon when I swap it out for an 11700KF. So I needed a board. Right now this has my old NAS in it (3570? 8gb) something like that, so I got this.
Was £80 on OCUK. I should still have this.
So that is that bit done. Will reuse the two SAS cards (same ones I sent Nosser).
Just one problem.. No onboard. This is why I have not started to buy things to do this. My mate did send me a 2600K, but I don't know if it would even work in the Dell board, and the RAM is still what is limiting me. I tried to watch a pure 4k rip of Avatar 2 last week and it was lagging with the RAM running out.
So, I grabbed this, as no onboard.
Was £31 on Ebay. I then got this for £3. Going to try this first.
If that fails I will need to move onto things like this.
But we shall see.
