I needed to have something to type job applications on so I decided to build a mini itx pc and hook it up to the telly.
Cooler Master 110 Elite case
i3-7100
8 GB DDR4
240 GB SSD
1050 Ti
Will post pics when I assemble the lil blizzard box :rock
Can't wait to play some WoW on high settings :lawd
Anything I missed in the last few years of pc gaming that wouldnt run on my previous rig? (laptop with an i7 and a geforce 555m)
-
i3? 1050?
:confused
-
Mini-ITX builds are cool. I'd like to build one as an emulation box.
-
I was thinking of an i5 with a 1060 3gb but it will be placed under the tv without too much ventilation so temps would be an issue 1060 runs at 82 and 1050 at 62 celcius.
Also I wont be playing multiplats on it or anything.
edit: daamn now I just saw Intel enabled hypertjrrading on the Pentium line, could have saved 50 bucks on the cpu!
-
This is the tv thing we have, will just take out one plank and it will juuuuust fit, there are big holes at the back of the unit for cables and air so it will get some airflow but its not ideal

:comeon
-
Man thinking of sending the i3-7100 back and ordering the g4600
Once you get into the budget mindset...
-
Yo folks, don't PC budget-shame.
But seriously PL, please don't suffocate your PC inside a TV bench. Let it outside to air.
-
Well look how much space there is there! I hope it will be fine
Don't my wife wants it to stand in the wild

Might do that for now but ill just check temps first when I run Overwatch
-
I had a mini pc a few years back. I loved it. But as I kind of expected it had a short life due to component wear and tear.
-
MMOs tend to be CPU dependent, so consider that if you do plan to change CPUs.
-
no video input signal aaarghhhh been struggling with this for two hours now
-
Are you using the output from the video card, or from the motherboard (integrated GPU)?
-
Tried both
all fans except gpu are spinning, no beeping from on board speaker so ram is fine
I can safely say my mood is down :lol
-
Take the ram out to see if it does beep. If it still doesn't the board is toast.
-
I think that the issue is that the mobo doesnt support kaby lake without an update
fuck me
im so guttered, ill need to order another cpu and sell this one prob
-
Can't you just get your money back, or are returns policies somehow worse in Denmark than in Germany?
-
I used pcpartpicker.com (https://pcpartpicker.com/) for my build a couple years ago. Automatically restricts cpu/board to those compatible. Unless you already did and this was some case where it was listed as 'compatible' but with a catch.
-

well the cpu is installed so they wont take it back :'(
damn im so pissed now, fuckinh i3 6100 is sold out of course now and ill have to try to sell the i3 7100

Er-what place wouldn't take it back if you say the parts were incompatible?
Pull the chip out. So long as you haven't bent anything you put it back in the box and just say you bought the wrong part, #whoops, and would like to return it.
-
Lager, did you smear paste all over this one, too?
:wag
-
Lol no it came with the paste pre smeared :lol
Im gonna call a local pc shop see if they can flash the bios
-
Shop wanted 60 bucks to flash bios so I just bought tje i3-6100 and going to try to awnd the other one back as suggested
booting up to bios now :rock
-
This thread makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
played a game of Overwatch, gpu temp didnt go above 62 celcius :lawd
