Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, BSD…whatever you want to chit chat about.
to start, what’s your current rig?
1x Lenovo M900x Tiny w/i7-6700, 16GB RAM, 480GB M.2 SATA SSD w/Windows 10 Pro 64bit
2x Dell 34" Ultrawide U3415w, stacked vertically
1x Samsung 24"
1x Mac Mini 2014, i5, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD
2x Mac Pro 2008, 2x Xeon, 32GB RAM, will be upgrading to 128GB SSD and GTX 670 FTW shortly
2x 27" Mac Displays
1x custom build, i5-6400, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, EVGA 400w
1x custom build, i5-7600K, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, EVGA G3 650w
I hope to sell everything but the M900x Tiny and two Dell displays so I can buy some new gear, like more up to date Mac Mini, a proper PC / Monitor or notebook for the wife and put the rest into audio gear.
oh yeah…u reminded me I need to make a simple media PC for our TV. I’ve had this Vizio 55" 4K TV for like 4 years and have barely used it. I’ll have to check the 4K video performance, but probably something like the Ryzen 3400G, or wait for the Ryzen 4000 APU that will actually be Zen2 and not Zen+.
1300x currently but upgrading this firday to a 3600x, rest of it is 16 gigs of RAM,1070,3 TB of HDDpace, 240 gig ssd. I use a aptop as well dont know the specsoff the top of my head just a laptop i7 and 750m . getting rid of it soon for proabaly a lg gram .
I’ve always been a bit of a “computer geek”, so at the moment i have a dedicated “htpc” hooked up to my “home cinema” (5.2 surround and a 55" screen from LG), i have a “gaming” rig, a “home office” pc and a “server” that runs 24/7, oh, and also a NAS for storage.
They are slowly nearing replacement, and the “gaming rig” is currently a intel i7-3770k based computer with 16gb of ram and a 1070GTX. It has a 500gb samsung SSD for the OS and another SSD for the steam library. It is hooked up to a samsung 27" curved 1080p “gaming” screen that sports 144hz. For sound, i use a Fiio olympus e10k as a dac, hooked up to a Yamaha AS501 and a pair of Klipsch RB-81 II with an old klipch 10" sub (i know the klipsch is not exactly near field, but with a bit of toe in they actually sound pretty good).
I do want to build a new gaming rig soon though, as the 3770k is getting to be a bottleneck (battlefield V has 100% utilization on all cores all the time!) even when overclocked to 4.2ghz on all cores. I could push it harder, but want to be on the “safe side” with no change of voltage, and i am still running air cooling (though the Noctua NH-D14 does a great job of that). Seems like AMD might be the way to go comparing price and performance, but it will probably not happen until next year.
edit
Oh, and i use a macbook pro (13" mid 2014) when im around, that too will probably be upgraded in the not to distant future…
The tracelayout between cpu-socket and memory slots is bad, so you will get 2933MHz memory clock at the best of times.
ASRock has ended production of that board, fixed it and rereleased it as the “ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X”
Edit: Still better than the Gigabyte UD7 mainboard that cought fire because VRMs beeing on the back.
Antec made a case where you could put a fan behind the mobo (Antec 302) to work arround that…
It seems great unless if you had to take it on a plane lol.
Yeah a battery would really be pushing it, and honestly would just be to assert your dominance and computer prowess over the regular desktop plebeians lol
Yeah, that’s really something. What would also be something is TSA’s response when that thing goes through the metal detector.
My desktop is the first system I’ve built myself and I know enough to know that I totally overdid it.
CPU: Intel i7-8700k, cooled with a 360mm Corsair AIO and OC’d to 4.9Ghz.
GPU: EVGA FTW3, RTX 2080ti
Mobo: MSI something or other
Ram: 32Gb of something, clocked to 3000ghz.
Storage: 3 1TB Samsung EVO SSDs
Power supply: EVGA in some unnecessarily high wattage.
@Marzipan
The intention wasn’t really to use it for a media PC… It just doesn’t have the horses to do what I want, but was what fit in my budget constraints. @Alb
I would say, like my desktop, the GPU and CPU could use an update (if you’re trying to game) otherwise you’re fine.
Oh, I’ve updated my first post, CPU oc is 3.825GHz
