I have two systems, my primary and my server. My primary system is: R9 5900x B550 Aorus pro AC 4x8gb 3733 cl16 5700xt 3440x1440p 165hz monitor Win11 My server is R5 3600 X570 phantom gaming x 4x8gb 3200 cl16 1060 8hdds, 2 m.2 Unraid I need to upgrade my server CPU. Its almost perpetually at...

Depending on the use case, both are right. 970 evo is far better in sustained reads and writes like copying data even though on paper it has lower sequential read write speed compared to the p3 plus. When filling up, it won't drop its speeds like the p3 plus will. However the p3 plus makes...

For the SSD, yea that sounds good. Read all the specs list and make sure you have understood what you are buying. Then it's completely subjective. That's the nice part of DIY, you have options. For RAM, yes, CL represents latency in the RAM. How long it takes to talk to the cpu. The lower, the...

My bad. I meant the p3, not the p3 plus. You're right To amend my statement: crucial p3 and samsung 970 evo in gen 3 nvme 2280. Silicon power actually had the p34a80 in this category and they were so cheap for the quality of semiconductor used. crucial p5 plus and samsung 980 pro, 990 pro in...

Valid point. Adata is especially guilty of doing stuff like that. I had recommended the 8200pro in the past.

Look up xfurbish.com if you dont mind second hand refurbished. I got a 48 port poe, all gigabit, L2 managed switch from them for 13k.

Yup, exactly. Hence the need to check reviews to see which company's which model controller and nand have silicon power used in this ssd vs that ssd. Safe bets are crucial mx 500, samsung 870 evo in 2.5" category. crucial p3 plus and samsung 970 evo in gen 3 nvme 2280. Silicon power actually had...

LG monitor If you need a 24" monitor, LG has one that is slightly cheaper. Its the similar specs as the Lenovo and specifically mentions Freesync which is useful for whenever you do game. Both options are IPS which is nice but 75hz which is not great for 15-16k. The link to the MSI model is...

Do you have a budget and capacity requirement? as for where to buy from, look up pcpricetracker.in Every company has good products and bad products. Don't trust the company name. That said, Silicon power has been more widely reviewed than the others you mentioned. Look up reviews for the ssds...

As far as Ram goes, it doesn't matter. Just look for the cheapest kit 2x16gb kit with 6000mhz. Don't buy a single stick of ram because its like trying to run on 1 leg. Plus it will be very hard to get a matched stick later. Same models can have different company dies that behave differently. Its...

Yes it's fine. You can't use it with a ryzen 9 part though, even down the line. You'll need to spring for the b650m gaming plus wifi if you don't want to have to worry about it in the future. Watch Hardware unboxed testing b550 to get an honest idea between the different boards. Keep an eye out...

Yes, the chipset is the same in both. The difference is the features and build quality. For example, the gigabyte board doesn't have Debug leds which are 4 lights for cpu, ram, vga and ssd. if something is wrong with your graphics card and your system doesn't turn on, the vga led will stay lit...

It wont have all the bells for sure. Wont have usb 4 (max i think is 20gbps through typc c) and limited to pcie gen 4 but i don't see that as reason to not keep using the system down the line. Your motherboard wont be bottlenecking your performance. As long as the power delivery is decent and...

The MSI b650-S also has 4 dimm slots though it isnt recommended to run all 4 dimms with the 7000 series AMD. (probably 9000 too) The ram speeds drop down very significantly harming your overall performance. Maybe the memory controller of future processors will be able to handle it but cant be sure

I would recommend the MSI model motherboard over the gigabyte one. It has debug leds. If you can spring another 3k for the Msi B650-S Pro wifi, it would be better since it has heatsinks on the top vrm, letting you use high power cpus when you upgrade later.
