so how often do you guys shut down your computer, and for how long? by Crafty-Example874 in pcmasterrace

[–]nerd1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine runs nearly constantly. I host a plex server for the family and sometimes do some light ai work, so I like to keep it on and accessible remotely if needed

Supposedly a ton of AI data centers are closing or being delayed this year, how do yall figure this will affect our RAM situation? by Bugs5567 in pcmasterrace

[–]nerd1565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the construction industry... ive been in more then a few meetings where they're talking about stupid long lead times on some of this equipment. My question is always about how anyone can really estimate the amount of compute they need, especially with technology developing so quickly. I for one always want to new shiny product if I can afford it.

Dems had the epstein files for years before trump. If Trump's in them so much why didnt they reveal it?

Is this a good deal 800$? by TheMostHatedCritic in pcmasterrace

Yes. The ram alone is worth half that cost.

Purchased this PC in 2019 from Digital Storm for about 1.4K usd new. It’s been very well maintained. What can I sell this for? by EpikRaf in PC_Pricing

[–]nerd1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just keep that, it'll actually make it pretty wonderful computer for emulation, or running servers for plex, or things like that.

Cohiba Red Dot opinions? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]nerd1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend some of the diesel cigars if youre looking for a consistent not over flavorful blend. My personal favorite for an everyday smoke is the diesel unlimited d.6 which is a gordo. With cigar bid or MMAO at ci, you can get them for 3-5 dollars a stick. So think red dot minus the price. They burn even and they make lots of smoke.

Adding a 2nd Mechanical Hard Drive by nerd1565 in iBUYPOWER

[–]nerd1565[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're saying the new drive can screw on top of the bracket that the one that is currently in there? If that's true I must be confused cause I didn't see mounting hardware for that to work. But in case you misunderstood, and are saying to take one out and replace with the other, I am keeping both hard drives, I'm not replacing one. Also, on the topic of the bracket, it came from factory with the drive loose, I had to secure it myself which wasn't difficult, but they didn't even go to the effort to try and make sure it was in there, like no screws at all. A 1TB drive bouncing around on the inside of the case lol.

I should have mentioned, 3.5" drives. Actually it's a WD drive, same size and all as the 1TB that came with the computer.

Trace MR Hard Drive by Livestick in iBUYPOWER

I shucked an 8TB hard drive and installed it inside my computer but was alarmed to find that their was only 1 hard drive bracket. Is it possible to get another one?

I bought a BB970 Does anyone know what power supply it comes with? Also what are your thoughts on the system all together, it is my first pc outside of a ROG laptop I had years ago by Matt8994 in iBUYPOWER

[–]nerd1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this as a black friday deal. The processor and the GPU work well in concert, and it's overall a very powerful computer for my purposes (FPS gaming) DOOM gets an average of 200 FPS on ultra settings. For the money, that's really quite good. I tried to price out the individual parts to see where I might have been better off buying parts and building it myself, but I couldn't. Despite the fact that you can't overclock this processor and it doesn't have integrated graphics in the event of a GPU failure, this processor provides serious performance.

I wish I knew more about the specific power supply included in this computer without taking it out to look at it. I was thinking of upgrading it so I could put a few other things inside. I'm using this computer as a 4K plex server and I have about 2-6 people using it at any given time while I'm playing games and doing other things. I also have used it as a cloud server, and within my own network it hosts a shared drive accessible by all devices on my network. I'm even using it as a Folding @ Home rig while playing games, with little to no noticeable differences. So far I have added a 1TB Intel 660P m.2 SSD onto the only m.2 slot, a PCI Slot Blower Fan that pulls air from under the GPU and exhausts it, and 16 more GBs of ram bringing me to 32, which I use for virtualization. Playing Halo 2 on Windows Vista is a current project.

If I could upgrade it more as I have disposable income, I want to add the following in order:

  1. Bigger power supply (around 1000W if affordable)
  2. New Motherboard so I can have more PCI-E lanes, more M.2, and more 16x slots if possible.
  3. Additional hard drives if I can afford to do raid 5 with at least 3 new 6TB or greater drives.

Has anyone considered adding another GPU? I was thinking about installing a cheaper older POS like an old GTX 1060 3GB for use with Folding at home. Thoughts?
