    Dell XPS 13 2in1 vs Lenovo C940

    Hello, So a bit of a story first. I bought Dell XPS 13 2in1 9365, i7 8th gen laptop about 7 months ago since it was praised so much (and I can see why - minimalistic design and carbon fiber finish). But my happiness soon was over when I started having bluescreens, sound issues, etc. Anyway...

    Is 850W PSU sufficient enough for this build?

    How? This is my part list more or less: https://uk.************.com/user/marka01/saved/4NL4CJ And it shows 768W at present without cpu or ram being OC'd

    Is 850W PSU sufficient enough for this build?

    Yes I do. It is EVGA G3 850. Is it possible to figure out what is current W usage with just 1x 1080ti and then plug in another one if enough recourses left?

    Is 850W PSU sufficient enough for this build?

    Mining/Gaming/home media center. I already have all these parts so before assembling and powering on would like to know if PSU will not explode :)

    Silverstone HTPC and 1080ti SLI

    I figured it will struggle from what I have read. Maybe I will just go with Carbide 400Q case instead of HTPC. As for SLI I happen to have 2 x 1080ti already. I have played Arc Survival recently with i5 7500, 1x gtx1080 ti and could not have maximum graphics at 2k even. The same for call of duty...

    Silverstone HTPC and 1080ti SLI

    hi. I have purchased Silverstone GD08 HTPC case and waiting for i7 8700k 4.8 OC with corsair h100i. Going to also plug in 1080ti SLI. Just having a second thought if all of it can fit and not choke to death in that case.. Any suggestions for a different HTPC case I can buy?

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    When I first asked a question about 4k streaming, this was my main reason and goal, since currently connected laptop with i5-4200U and intel HD was lagging on 4k hdr content and in general was a bit annoying and slow. I wanted something stationary and more powerful to be in place as a media PC...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    I like your sarcasm I will not lie. But c'mon.. 20 minutes is not enough if you are behind new tech?? How do you expect someone to read and choose over the web all the parts,boxes and all set-up in 20 minutes (forgot to mention PC assemble over these 2 days too)? Unless you are a super human...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    I have not built a desktop PC for a long time, obviously technology advanced, CPUs advanced and that's why I was here asking questions. Whether they are stupid or not - that is what this forum is for as I understand. In 2 days I have figured out all build and I am happy with it. I just needed a...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    I work in IT for 10 years. You do not need a skillset to connect a ups (plug in a cable to a socket?) or shut down and array (click 'shut down' in windows?). Or am I missing something here then correct me? I am running raid 5 at my work place on a server and have not seen it fail for 5 years...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    Yes I have gone up a bit and I did explain why. Have you read my explanations? If not then why swearing? I got all parts over ebay quite cheap under 600$ all inc. So cheaper than your ridiculous NUC.

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    thanks. well I was looking at optaine FAQ and found out that you cannot accelerate RAID with optaine unless Optaine is "inside" the raid volume where the OS resides: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory/000024018.html : I want to set RAID up on...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    well, I can explain it more in detail. I already happen to have 3x3.5" new disks which I don't need to purchase. So why not to use it for raid 5? For that reason I went with micro ATX rather than ITX. I could use those disks individually and have 6TB instead of 4TB but I don't need that much of...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    Thanks. I do understand what you are saying. And yes it's main purpose is 4k. I had no issues with a few VM OS running on my old i5 3rd gen laptop. So I was assuming a new i5 7th gen would not have this problem either anyway (so that's why I did not mention VM originally. Anyway I have one more...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    hi, thanks. I actually already went for z270 motherboard and i5 7500 as I got a good deal. The only thing I am still uncertain is which memory to go for. The price for ddr4 2400 and 3000 are similar but i5 7500 seems to support only memory up to 2400 while MB can support up to 3600 Mhz.. Will...

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    Thanks for advice. just for 4k movies streaming. no editing. will also use for virtual machines windows 2012/2016 r2. As I understand i5 7500 does not have HT (Hyper-threading) ? Not sure how much does it mean in 4k or virtualization?

    Mini ITX case with i7 - is it enought for 4k video?

    hi, I am looking to build mini ITX barebone, to replace my laptop connected to TV, which is struggling with 4k movies. The purpose of mini ITX - Multimedia, movies, 4k content. I would need your advice on weather i7 7700k is enough to process 4k movies (since it has integrated HD 630...
