I have a 5yr old build that I will be updating later this year when new amd chips come out. Have an 1800x and rx480 with 6 HDDs and 2 ssds. Big case. Scored a 69000XT red devil ultimate for a decent price and will be keeping it air cooled until I do a water loop during tbe rebuild. I have a...

Anyone know if Dell branded s3610 1.8" SSDs (for rack servers) could be adapted to work with the hotswap trays in a Poweredge T330? I don't want to spend an arm and leg on Dell certified drives for our startup company, and I can get recertified s3610 for ~$260 for 800GB. My other thought is...

I have a 6 disk setup on my new Ryzen box I'm finally getting around to configuring. Already been running Win10 for about a month now, and just performed a clean wipe in preparation to get everything setup (and because I was breaking things like I normally do with a new OS). I'd like to perform...

I have to admit, I don't really follow the laptop scene. I hate them. But my wife, and many of her friends won't/can't use anything but laptops. From what I've seen Ryzen seems very good at low power efficiency. With the anticipated Vega release, I know we are looking at a combined mobile...

My HTC One M8 is dying, and I'm looking to upgrade. Since I've been spending so much on my new computer, I'm not looking to spend more than $400, and that will be a big sell to the wife. I've thought about just getting another M8, but they're ~$150, and I can get "newer" phones for a bit more...

Currently on Windows 7 Ult. and will be building a new Rig with Ryzen. I use my computer for everything, and have decided it will be best for me (not best overall I know) to have a single multipurpose machine. I use AutoCAD C3D, Office, & Outlook for work (when I'm not in the office). I do use...

Anyone know when the Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K7 is going to be released? Newegg listed it as today, but I don't believe it ever got posted. It just still says "Out of Stock". Unless for some reason the board sold out between midnight and 6am...

I'm having a hard time locating specific DDR4 ECC ram kits, without paying out the nose. Ebay has a bunch, but I want to make sure I am not just looking in the wrong place. Samsung makes some of the best memory, so I'd like to try to stick with samsung supplied sticks. Any recommendations for...

Trying to plan the best cable management, and all the AM4 boards have straight pinouts for USB 3.0 I want to put a hard 90 bend in, so that my plug lays nice and flat. I can't find where to buy this though, so I am looking for help. Something like this, but with a female end (and in black, but...

No cheap TIM here.

I bought a Dark Base Pro 900 case in Orange, but never liked the motherboard tray grommets. I think they look much better in black. I emailed the company, and although the reply took about a week, they said they were happy to send me new Black Grommets. I got an email this morning that they...

Let me start by saying this is one area where I am completely in the dark. I have not read much into VRMs and power phases, and why an 8 pin vs. 8+4 pin matters. What I do know is that voltage regulation generates heat as a byproduct, and the cleaner the DC power, the easier it should be on the...

I've debating between PETG and Soft Copper for my (first) cooling loop. I understand both will be more work than soft tubing, and copper will be more expensive overall. I like a challenge, and am not new to bending copper pipes. One thing that I have not done before is send parts in for nickel...

Cancelled my 1700x order, and bought through the link here: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/02/22/dont_be_pussy_preorder_amd_ryzen_today_starts_at_1et

About the pull the trigger on the 1TB Mushkin Reactor for a games/steam drive. It's the cheapest drive at the moment per gig, while still maintaining great read performance and MLC NAND. The problem is, there appears to be a 960GB version and a 1TB version...is one a newer drive? I couldn't find...

Always wanted to watercool, but never had the budget. I'm at the point where if I don't do it now, I never will! First PC I built was ~14 years ago, and I am an engineer by trade, so I wouldn't call myself completely helpless. I will be going all-out with PETG tubing, and using a combination of...

Are re-certified HDD's reliable/worth it? Amazon has re-certified 3TB HGST Enterprise Drives for stupid cheap.

I am beginning to assemble hardware for a new Ryzen build, and am hoping ECC ram will be supported. I want to build a single PC that I can utilize as my main PC for both gaming, general use and use as my workstation for AutoCAD and Solidworks projects, as well as Plex Media Server and photo...

Anyone know when the Prime 1000w is set to be released? Last I read was November 2016, but a quick search shows no new info I could find. I am considering the EVGA G3 and Corsair RMX, but would prefer no cable caps, as I want to buy pre-sleeved cables.

Greetings! I'm not new to PCs, but I've never built a dedicated NAS. I've used my current PC as a Plex Media Server for awhile, and am familiar with how to map network drives, etc. I will be building a Ryzen system soon, and my budget will determine if I have enough extra to build a separate...

I am planning to build a new rig once Ryzen is released, and will start buying components soon. The first purchase will be a case, because it's the basis of any build! My desk and room orientation requires my PC to be on the left, so I really want to have a PC with components accessible on the...
