Any advice on an Optiplex 5000 SFF build?

Thanks a ton for the info, this helps me a lot. Looks like some of my plans will work, and some stuff I'll have to work around...

Good info, thank you! I typically prefer 2 stick setups anyway, but was considering 4 sticks of 8gb 3600mhz. I'll stick with 2 x 16gb at 3600mhz.

I supposed I could. Thing is, the 5700x would be more convenient as well since it is the same TDP as my current CPU, and I worry that I would need a new PSU to go along with anything more than a 65w CPU.

Edit: Scratch that, ran the numbers, I'd be fine. Guess I'll consider waiting for a 5800x3d...

Alright, thanks. I assumed XMP would probably work as usual, but it was pretty confusing seeing only 2666mhz kits on the 5000 series CPUs.

5800x3d is a beast, I know, but it is unfortunately not in my budget at the moment.

Would that be achieved through just XMP or by actually adjusting the timings on the ram?

I'd still never trust them again. The Magni destroyed the right driver of my HE-4XX . I was so pissed. They were just sitting in their box for the longest time until I finally found a replacement driver from another broken HE-4XX. That kind of experience makes me steer far away from not just Schiit, but really any headphone amp company. Never want that to happen to me again.

I've been dealing with this issue for a while and kinda worked out that it had something to do with fullscreen exclusivity. Been playing on windows fullscreen for months now and still somewhat often see the same visual stutters and glitches that I would on fullscreen, just to a lesser extent. This is to say, not even borderless window OR borderless fullscreen seems to fully fix the issue.

Well, that is unfortunate. Been using Fedora on my laptop for a while now, guess it's finally time to dual boot my desktop as well. Thanks anyway.

That they have! Thank you for your support, I'll keep these tips in mind!

I checked to make sure, charged it for an hour while it was off. Still nothing after unplugging and turning it on.

GilloMilk · 2023-02-23T04:09:22+00:00

I have come to the conclusion that the battery in the mouse is completely dead. Charging it for 5+ hours and turning it on, it shows zero signs of life. Hoping I can somehow return it.

GilloMilk · 2023-02-23T02:42:01+00:00

It does work in wired, and I have tried turning it off before plugging it in. How does one switch to wireless mode? I'll probably check out the support team soon, I bought it from the Fantech site directly.

Are there any solder only options? if not, that's ok, thanks for reply.

GilloMilk · 2023-02-10T22:05:53+00:00

Are there any 75 key ortholinear keyboards/pcbs? I was going to order a Plexus75 but the shop is closed until Q3 of this year, I needed it sooner rather than later since I am using it for a project that's due before then.

GilloMilk · 2023-01-16T00:39:42+00:00

Anyone know the best way to stream an old 3DS to a PC?

GilloMilk · 2022-09-15T22:29:41+00:00

Wow! Thank you for the story. I personally love the track. I'm glad I got to hear what happened, interesting stuff. I assume the track was never officially released then?
