    Low power consumption Plex server

    My i7-3930k pulls 130w and my video card pulls about 150w. Not to mention the other peripherals such as my liquid cooler and whatnot. Part of this is just trying to justify spending money on another toy to play with while seeing actual savings in the long run :D

    Low power consumption Plex server

    Were those 720 or 1080p streams? From what I have read it is recommended to have 2,000 PassMark score per 1080p stream and that processor gets just over 2,000. There is a newer version now, the A4-6300 which gets 2,200

    Low power consumption Plex server

    I'm looking to transfer my Plex server to a new box so that I can let my gaming rig sleep. I figure if I spend less than $400 or so on the machine I would pay off the cost of the machine in electricity savings within a year or so. I'm looking at building in a case like this one or similar...

    Q6600 G0 Build, Looking to OC, Need Advice

    Q6600 G0 Build, Looking to OC, Need Advice

    I have a Q6600 G0 that i'm looking to OC to full potential. I believe i'm pretty set on going with the Corsair H50 cooler, although I will take opinions. What i'm really looking for is opinions on the motherboard, and whether I should keep the RAM I have, order some more, or completely replace...

    Problem: System randomly shutting off *SCARY NOISE*

    Check the PSU, coudl very well be the issue. Repaired a computer for a customer with a bad psu, brought it back a month later because the system was still acting up, ended up the motherboard was hit too, more than likely a power surge which hit both components.
