After months of trying to troubleshoot the issue, I have finally reached a point where i just need to get this resolved. To sum up, I have a strange issue both with loading times of some apps and "micro stuttering/freezing" while playing some games. --------------- [Symptoms] ---------------...

Hello, I recently built a NAS server and installed a trial version of unRAID on it. I am able to boot into the GUI just fine but am having issues getting it connected to ethernet. I do not have access to a wired connection near the box so i tried plugging into my windows 10 machine and sharing...

Hello, I am looking for some input on a NAS server build I've been planning for a while now. I plan to use unRAID but may opt for one of the free open source OS such as FreeNas or Nas4Free. This build does take price into consideration, to a point. I am an enthusiast when it comes to PC's so I...

CPU: ~$50-$75 MOBO: ~$50-$75 32 RAM: ~$75-$125 (speed depending) Corsair RAM: ~$40 Total: $200-$275

I'd say roughly $200 based on eBay average final values.

CPU: ~$175 Mobo: ~$130 Total: ~$300 Prices based off of average eBay final values.

CPU: ~$200 MOBO: ~$50 GPU: ~$200-$250 RAM: ~$100-$150 (Speed depending) PSU: ~$100 SSD: ~$140 Total: ~$800-$950 Unfortunately, things like fans, software, and to a certain extent cases tend to not have a resale value. Typically its easier to sell parts individually but you'll end up with...

I've gone and made some changes per your suggestions. I have put them in a pcpartpicker list. Note the 7700k is a placeholder for the 8700k. What did you do to accommodate filling and draining of the system? Did you buy an extra fitting and some soft tubing for the top of the res for filling and...

Thank you for the additional info! I'll be sure to check all the parts out. One last question, you mention the length limit on the GPU for the reservoir mount. Is the msi sea hawk the card you used in that build that fit? The evga cards i was looking at are over 277mm long so i would seemingly...

Thank you for the reply. A few follow up questions on your suggestions. 1. I've read that radiators with more fan slots (4 vs 3 or 2) is better than thicker rads with less fan slots due to the vastly greater surface area available for cooling. I'm curious as to your reasoning for the shorter...

Hello, I'm looking to build a custom water cooling loop for my pc. I have been using AIO coolers for about 5 years now and finally have the chance to do a custom one. I am waiting for the release of the 8700k to do so, but that's the CPU I will be cooling. If support is given, I will be putting...

It seems to be a common problem even with high end computers. I have 2 980tis in SLI and i sill get strange fps issues. Even if i disable sli.

I have considered 4k but the lack of support for it both windows os side and application size makes me not want to spend $600 on it. I've read that it has pretty bad resizing issues and to actually display in 4k, the text and icons are extremely small and hard to read. So I've been looking at...

I don't know if you quit understand the topic, I'm looking to upgrade my current pc (listed on the first post) with $2000, not build a new system. However, the build does give me some ideas for my own, thanks for the input.

About $2000 for upgrades.
