Memmento Mori

Thank you guys for your advices and thoughts. Highly appreciated. Got the tv running with the klipsch for now and have to complete the pc… great to have you guys!

I have a new Request or Question. How do you connect the PC (MSI MPG B650I edge Wi-Fi) and 9070XT with Sony Bravia OLED XR-55A80L and the klipsch the sevens? PC to TV by HDMI for audio and video input and optical cable TV to Klipsch? Or PC to TV by HDMI for audio and video input and HDMI ARK cable TV to Klipsch? Any advice?

Thanks for the information, and yes i bought it, its a fair price as the seller bought it for 165 EUR a month ago and yeah im not going to OC the machine, i need it rock solid stable no mather what.. the user will be more focused on stability then on anything else.... and as already menatoned im not willing to get calls all day long bcs something not working...

so small status report, i went for an AMD build and for now have the following: 1, The SX1000 is a 1000w 80+ Platinum SFX-L fully modular power supply - 88 EUR - Review - @Avacado - any long term experience sharing? 2, MSI MPG B650I edge Wi-Fi - 145 EUR 3, AMD 9800X3D - 450 EUR wish me luck witht he MOBO and CPU hope its not a scam or broken prats BTW - any recomendation for RAM? - G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32GB 6400MHz CL30 AM for 100 EUR OK or not so much? Price performace should ok right?

Thank you for the advice, but the buyer declined bcs of the design of it so inhave to stick to the M2 grater case. thank you both for your thoughts and yes i agree with you but unfortunatelly the one cheap b650 is without warranty in the end and im not going to pay 160€ for a board without warranty when i can buy new one of the same for 220€ and now the dilema continues - 320€ is the asus strix b850 board new so hmmmmm same with the cpu 7800x3d used is about 380€ and new one for 420€ and 9800x3d is for about 520€ so hmmm so basically used older platform vs new older platform vs new and new platform… tending to the middle way new but older platform? intel based on the degradation problems im going ti awoid bcs i dont want to have the maintanence problems asnamd seems as a safer bet for this scenario… i can jist rest in peace that it will work without problems… and thank you for the discussion here, its exactly what i was looking for… sorry for the typos im on a phone and having clumsy fat fingers so just be patience…

So i got the opportunity to build a small living room gem for movie watching, gaming, browsing and maybe future photo and video editing.... And im struggling in a heavy way... to many options and not sure about anything, so i decided to put you through it as well. Most parts im looking to buy second hand to safe some money as the friend wants to spend it on a nice case rather as it has to be in the living room.... So I did some research and here started my struggle. AMD or Intel? 7950X3D/9950X3D or 14900K? As its not for me and i don't want to have any troubleshooting problems of a unstable platform, I tend to go AM5, which is even second-hand more expensive than the Intel platform. But 7000/9000 series cpus are a better fit for gaming and workloads then intel currently.... More future proved? Case will be NCASE M2 Grater (best compromise between performance, space, and look i found so far - any advice is welcome) In respect of thermals, it should not be a problem - case support the Thermalright perles asasin mini and just bought thermal grizly delider for AM5 (20 EUR secondhand - what a deal ) so i can delid Intel and AM5 so it should be fine.... Next looking into the motherboards. Found a deal for the MSI MPG B650I edge Wi-Fi for about 150 EUR - used just 3 weeks with full warranty VS ROG STRIX B850-I GAMING Wi-Fi new from the store, which is about 310 EUR - 380 EUR. The difference is PCIE4 VS PCIE5, the asus one has more conectivity options and never wifi standard (which is not possible to use yet here) but is it worth the money? Does it makes sense? The GPU will probably be a 9070 from AMD if i don't find a good deal for something better for the same price range and the SSD M2 disks will be the PCIE 4 WD blacks as i have some spare ones... Any experience from Reallife or constructive thoughts? Any aspect i forgot? BTW 9070XT - enough for 4K TV gaming? PSU: Cooler Master SFX Platinum 1300W - found one for 130 EUR - good or not? The seller claims it's louder than he is used to. For this he is selling it, but any concerns eventually experience to share? Or should i rather go with a classic ATX PSU ? Any advice and thought will be appreciated Thank you

And thank you very much for your support, ideas and thoughs.. Appreciate it !

So finally i have a conclusion: 1, in the past i bought it here Just a moment... WWW.CJS-CDKEYS.COM It worked was no problem. I got 4 codes for 3 months and worked flawlessly 2, I bought 3 months on Get up to 90% off best selling video games | CDKeys.com WWW.CDKEYS.COM Don’t overpay! Enjoy the latest games at the cheapest price now. Get instant delivery of CD Keys for Steam, Origin, Uplay, Battle.net, GOG, PSN and XBOX. And i run into trouble, bcs of region mismatch. Microsoft support told me that it is not a official reseller and i should in future buy the codes from local sites to dont run into this kind of problems. result i contacted CDkeys for refund or new code... Still waiting for a response. But i bought an EU and UK code and it doesnt work for a country within EU - Microsoft answer was - you need to buy it from the country you are using it.... 3, i bought another code from a local seller which is an official reseller. Gues what? Yes i run into the same problem So i contacted the supoort once again and explained the whole situation. this time the guy took it to his supervisor, i shared the codes and BAM they activated 6 month for me. When i was asking what happend he explained me its an internall mismatch and error and sometimes the codes work sometimes not. So happy buying and redeeming If it doesnt work then just open a chat with them and they should be able to do it. Hope it will help you guys in any way...

Juat wondering if you have an advice where to buy the subscrition for cheaper then usual. I need to prolong my actual which is ending on 28.2.2025 - meaning i have an account, need it for Europe and ideally 12 months or stackable for renew. There some interesting prices but with an account or not ment for renew - which means once your subscription expires you loose your progress nice business model.. So please let me know, any recomendation is welcomed....

so folding back to EHW?

Enterprise, thanks a lot for the hard work which enabled me and others to share and as well learn from the whole comunity here. Wish you all the best !

Interesting choice if your looking for a new cooler ..... Curious about the next new lineup the "Preytor"?

Having more similarities then i tought

cant wait to see the whole setup, will be probably a bit tricky, but im sure its doable and you know, what doesnt fit, make it fit There is always a way...

But to be honest? I like the looook ... Keep us posted for sure!

MSI Releases BIOS Update for Intel Core 14th and 13th Gen Desktop Processor Instability WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM Regarding the instability of the Intel Core 14th /13th Gen desktop processors, MSI will release the latest BIOS of Intel 700 and 600 series motherboards and 14th /13th Generation Desktop PC with 0x129... same for MSI so lets wait for it 690 is suppose is the second trail so lets wait ..

well i see your point, and all decent ppl would do this. But here is money talking and making decission. Money does not behave as decent ppl, and from the bysiness perspective - "we know its a probably a faulty product, why would we prolong the waranty for it?" there is no business case behind, just a GIANT hole in the budget and red numbers... well its dissapointing a bit, bellieve they would have the money, power and abylity to do better.... Thank you very much for sharing, and wish you good luck with it, would be nice of you could get your money back.... Keep us posted...

Its barely a half baked idea and dont have much to chip in, but i was alway curious where the ppl are getting their iformations, what they read, follow, watch to get some informations in regards of technology, pc, IT, and all the matters we are here interested in. And for this reason i just wanted to share and ask as well you Gents to share your information matrix if possible And even im using this platform here as well for geting some knowledge, here is not everithing so would like to make 1 point to get inspired.. Hope the idea dont bites in to dust after soe time I know that youtube is not the perfect platform but thre are some interesting chanels to watch if your hungry for inormations and even wan tto learn something. Traditionally im folowing the "DerBauer" or "GN" but lately i just crossed this guy here: https://www.youtube.com/@northwestrepair He repairs the GPUS AMD/Nvidia and i kile the way he does it and even takes all on camera. sometimes its not that much detailed but it shows so many defects and their repair, and i have it at work as a background "noise" like a TV and i rly like to wath him to repair the GPUS Happy sharing guys

it is common with every fan, the only difference is then the RPM when you hear it with a specific fan.. But have you tried to add there an spacer to the fan? this yould affect as well the result, having the fan farther from the rad

there is an interesting GN video on that topic directly with Noctua... just based on the topic recomendation not saing they last for ever .... and yes the arctic are as well a pretty heavy duty fans for the price point..
