Hello, I am selling a used Dell T30 mini server. I used it as my Unraid server for a couple years. It runs great and has a Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory. No hard drives or operating system is included. There are four 3.5" drive bays along with a NVMe slot on the...

You both were right. I ended up returning the non F CPU for a i3 12100. I used a dedicated video card to check out the bios and make sure everything was running fine with the F CPU and then I removed the gpu and the NIC would never light up. I don't think the motherboard booted past the BIOS...

Hi VoloxitySF, thanks for the input. I should say the goal of this build was not to be just low power but also be pretty cheap but maybe I cheaped out a little too much, lol, especially on the HBA controller. This server isn't hosting anything mission critical or super important at least but my...

Hi everyone, I just ordered parts for a low power unraid build. My previous unraid server was ran by a Dell T30 server that served me well for 5 years or so. Recently, the cache drive failed in my Unraid server so I lost all of my dockers and system data. I have four spinning disk hard drives...

I've had good luck with making a cross starting in the center of the cpu. I don't go all the way out to the edge of the cpu though, maybe a half inch or so before the edges.

Edit: CPU sold!

Edit: CPU sold! Hello I am selling an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X. This cpu was in my main rig for a few years and works great. I'm selling it because I have upgraded to a new CPU. I had a mild overclock on it and it has been under a 360mm Corsair AIO cooler all it's life. I can't find the original box...

Hi Superjoe, I had the same issue as you except I have an external USB or toslink DAC. I spent at least a month trying to figure out ways to remove the noise/wine. When I upgraded my RTX 2070 Super to a RTX 3070ti (and later a 3080ti) I would hear an annoying wining sound that would vary in...

Just a tip, if any of you are buying the 5600G or 5700G make sure to upgrade your motherboards to the latest bios. I still had issues with my CPU as the CPU Q LED on my Asus B550 motherboard was lit up so I didn't get any video output. I cleared the BIOS just in case since I bought a used...

I built my PC about a year ago and recently bought a MSI 3070ti. I used the metal support bracket it came with to keep it from bending over time. It doesn't look too bad. Also, I should have taken the glass off because you can see the reflections but that's okay, haha.
