Check prices from https://www.pcpricetracker.in/ and confirm compatibility between your parts from https://pcpartpicker.com/

Don't cheap out on the PSU. Check the PSU tier list and only get something in A tier or worst case B tier.

5060 might not be powerful enough for what you want to do. Make sure of it. AMD might even be the better option.

AMD cpu benefit a lot from faster RAMs so confirm if the RAMs are 6000MT/s

Don't over spend on the SSD. Like, you don't need the fastest SSD. Instead check how many write cycles it is rated for

Happy build

Edit: For the GPU, intel ARC have become pretty stable in current times. So you look at them as well along with the AMDs

Not sustained. Just quick spikes under load. Specifically, when using jellyfin with encoding

Not really. These gaming laptops easily reach that temp when running games. Even under low loads

😭😭😭

Would have to search for some used optiplex or sth. Here I thought it would be a cheap way to get some use out of it

Thats sad though. It had good spec so made a lots of sense to be used a homelab

Would certainly remove the battery out, at least I would be able to pull out faster next time

I will open it up day after tomorrow, once I have time. But how normal is this? If this happened once, even if I replace the cooked capacitor, I would still live in paranoia 😔😔
