There are always exceptions. But I Agree. When in doubt of course there are nice paid packages that I am sure perform well. On that topic do you have any paid antivirus software suggestions?
Do be aware if you haven’t watched any review videos yet, the mounting is a bit… different. It wasn’t the easiest to mount to am5 but it worked. Intel mounting seems like a real chore tho honestly.
assuming you’re using windows, defender is free, integrated and actually works great. I use that with either the free version of bitdefender or malwarebytes.
The best antivirus is making smart choices while browsing the web honestly.
But paying for antivirus? Yea that’s a thing of the past for...
Companies do not warranty anything but the power supply. If anything else fails that is just bad luck. There are so many built in protections with these high end psu’s, that the chances of you losing anything else are very slim.
Pick up a used Quadro P400 or something similar on eBay. I have bought a few here on the forum for cheap. I think I paid less than $20 for one shipped.
I use them all the time for office systems.
A quick look ok eBay has many under $40. 2gb of ram is plenty for 1440p non gaming. Can drive up...
I picked up the 360 lf3 in black for 90 a few weeks ago. Has been installed and is absolutely a monster of a cooler. Not just for the price but in general. I’ve been extremely happy with it.
There could very well be a cold solder joint somewhere internally. These cards are getting up there in age now and have likely had many heat cool cycles.

Plenty of references and recent sales also. 2FA also enabled. Ships with tracking, always by next business day.
Gigabyte 4070 Windforce 3 OC
price: SOLD
Not when you consider Intel had mainstream triple channel memory for a few years available to consumers. Boards had 6 slots for ram. 12gb was a common configuration back then.
Also many laptops come with 4gb soldered on, with an open slot. A popular choice for many years was to stick a 8gb...
I picked up brand new current Xbox controllers for under $40 during the holidays. One from target was $35 brand new.
They can easily be used wired with a usb cable.
No sense in trying to find a reliable Xbox 360 controller at this point imo.
when I’ve had to call it’s automated line. I’ve never had to speak to a person. Other than having to enter in a long string of numbers, it’s an easy process. Surely worth the $100+ savings in my opinion. Now once it is activated, the hardware gets a digital license. So you’ll never repeat that...
I always buy from the ones with the highest and most feedback. I’ve never tried to save a penny by using a lower rating seller. Never been ripped off yet.
Eneba is also legit. Been around a few years and is similar to kinguin etc. Basically keys bought in markets with lower cost and then resold. If it’s a universal/global key, the seller makes a profit. Other times if the key is region locked, the buyer will hoard the cheap keys when they are on...
MSI a850G is a higher end CWT based psu tier a if you’re into that list.
On sale for $110 or so MSI A850G ATX 3.0 / PCIE 5 Gold PSU
Excellent price. Highly rated. Not to be mixed up with the A850GL that is offered by BestBuy. Different units.
If you need less than 1000w this is an excellent...
Thank you very much. I realized pretty quick if efficiency was not a concern, that I could find hardware that was older but sufficient for a server like I’d be wanting. But as soon as I starting applying some efficiency questions I quickly was not looking at the “affordable” older server gear I...
Greetings guys and gals.
It’s been a minute since I’ve had a home lab. But I’m looking to buy something if possible, better than what I have now.
Current server I built from spare parts:
Intel 8700t cpu
Evga Z370 few motherboard
32gb DDR4 ram
Tier A 850w psu
Quadro p400 2gb gpu
NzXT h510...
Just use a free CMS. Wordpress etc as said above. Plug in what you need. You’ll spend less time setting that up than rolling your own. And it will be much easier to maintain and more secure.
