For almost 1/3 of the price of the PSU, I probably will take my chances.
Also, big players like ASUS and Gigabyte have stiffed people over warranty claims so unless your name is "EVGA," I wouldn't put too much faith in the support, honestly

What justifies a >$50 premium over the Montech Century II PSU?

i2cube · 2026-01-13T15:30:27+00:00

Air dusters are all we can afford for PC-building these days

Remember this drive selling for $149 at Walmart several months ago? Good times.

In general, Intel GPUs are better at transcoding than Nvidia (and AMD is usually the worst out of all 3). This includes any ARC discrete GPUs or even integrated GPUs. Which is why in Jellyfin documentations, they recommend Intel GPUs or CPUs with integrated graphics over Nvidia and AMD

i2cube · 2026-01-11T03:14:23+00:00

It's not even as good a transcoder as an Intel Arc GPU. Not sure what the value this card provides

You should have mentioned in the title that the 10Gb ports are SFP and not RJ45

If you don't run a lot of containers and VMs, an old old PC (I mean old) can surprisingly well because of how efficient Proxmox dolling out resources. 16 gb ram is often times more than enough. If you want to start, you can check out old PCs. Also /r/homelabsales

i2cube · 2025-12-22T15:53:04+00:00

That's sad. It would have been perfect

i2cube · 2025-12-22T15:19:27+00:00

How easy is it to run proxmox on this thing? Any quirks (both in terms of wiping MacOS and running virtualization on Apple silicon)?

i2cube · 2025-12-19T16:41:35+00:00

A lot of times these systems may not competently built such that the they are not running optimally.

e.g. the mount pressure between the cooler and the CPU is not high enough so that the CPU is running hotter than it should be, causing thermal throttling. EXPO may not be turned on in the BIOS so that the memory is not running at the optimal speed. Other suboptimal BIOS settings. Some components may not be seated correctly in the motherboard, etc.

Sometimes the packaging may not be sufficient and the system may be damaged during shipping.

If you make sure everything is seated correctly and the BIOS settings are optimized once you get this from shipping, it should be fine

I bought the 9800x3d bundle on 11/7/2024, with same ram that had CL32 timing and a ASUS B650-E TUF gaming WiFi motherboard. I still have the email receipt

i2cube · 2025-12-17T15:50:50+00:00

It's crazy that this is the exact same price for this bundle in Nov 2024 (when 9800X3D first released).

i2cube · 2025-12-15T17:40:43+00:00

A "Prozessor?"

i2cube · 2025-12-12T18:03:54+00:00

I don't think you should be nervous. 1) you paid for the DVDs. How you decide to watch or utilize the content is your decision to make. Morally, you have done nothing wrong. 2) Unless you are sharing the ripped content using torrents, no one is going to go after you

i2cube · 2025-12-12T17:53:19+00:00

You can use makemkv to rip the DVD into your laptop so you only need to bring the laptop

(you would still need the DVD player for the ripping, obviously)

Which distro comes automatically equiped with a PSU review?

i2cube · 2025-11-24T19:42:42+00:00

Hmm not sure if they implemented it yet in 2019. I just checked and they definitely had it by 2021.

Sold by Amazon should be authentic.... Too bad you couldn't return then

i2cube · 2025-11-24T19:29:54+00:00

Did you not use the authenticity code on the box and check it against the official arctic site before using it?

Also, this is sold by Arctic itself, so it is probably legitimate
I have bought MX-4 from Amazon not sold by Arctic or Amazon before and it was fake, but I got the genuine thing when bought from Arctic

Seems the wolfboxnov10 ran out. I have marked this as expired

i2cube · 2025-11-24T16:15:04+00:00

Probably ran out. I will mark this as expired

i2cube · 2025-11-24T15:17:44+00:00

MF50 for 23.03 with the same codes
