Your setup may face bottlenecks depending on your system specs and usage demands.
I discovered five old computers in the trash, collected them all, and started rebuilding by swapping parts. The biggest challenge was the community quarantine, and jobs are currently limited. I'm searching for affordable options that my board can manage right now. In the near future, I hope to upgrade to a more advanced system.
An i5 3470 promises a solid upgrade, while an i7 3770 will stand out as quite powerful but at a higher cost. A recent online tool suggests the 3470 and 1050ti can work together smoothly, with only minor performance limits. The 3210 may struggle with the graphics card. With 8GB of RAM available, pairing an i5 3470 or 3570 with a 1050ti should create a balanced setup. These processors are typically priced around $40 on eBay.
I currently have 8GB of RAM and an i7 processor, which I got for around $90 after negotiating. Should I upgrade to 16GB? The new system costs about $50 to $60, and the power supply is poor, so I’m planning to wait until I can install a better one. Updated August 5, 2020 by asusar2jeje
You could consider a reliable power supply that matches your system's needs. For your i7 3770 and 1050Ti, a decent option would be one rated for at least 12V with sufficient wattage to handle the load. Since the 12+ rail is 7.600 volts, ensure the power supply can safely manage that voltage without risking damage.
You're seeing only 7.6Volts suggests a problem with the monitoring system, likely preventing the computer from starting properly. For replacement, consider an official board from Dell or HP; they often use specialized connectors that may require adapters.
I'd rely on what the BIOS provides. I try a tool named Hardware Monitor—it's my go-to and works well with nearly any board I've tested. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
