Linux and Windows compatibility with KVM?
Linux and Windows compatibility with KVM?
Finally back with another post! I pretty much finished with my school and with my thoughts about my new pc. This is my updated partslist: Spoiler PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4GHz 8-Core Processor (€355.81 @ Amazon Deutschland) CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Silent Loop 280 94.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (€142.59 @ Amazon Deutschland) Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver - 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste (€13.84 @ Mindfactory) Motherboard: Asus - CROSSHAIR VI HERO ATX AM4 Motherboard (€243.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (€193.02 @ Mindfactory) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (€237.84 @ Mindfactory) Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For €0.00) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card (€869.00) Case: be quiet! - Dark Base Pro 900 (Black/Orange) ATX Full Tower Case (€214.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Power Supply: be quiet! - DARK POWER PRO 11 1200W 80+ Platinum Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (€264.89 @ Mindfactory) Other: GIGABYTE R9 280X 3072MB GDDR5 OC PCI-E 3.0 384bit (Purchased For €0.00) Total: €2535.88 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-06-05 17:53 CEST+0200 I chose "only" 16 GB of RAM, because the 32 GB sets on the QVL where not on sale yet. Aditionally that should be enough for now and because I only use two slots with that set I can still upgrade in the future. Luckily, virtualization on Ryzen should be getting easier, especially with this board. What I am kinda concerned about is the powersupply and the reviews on it claiming that it exploded on some people. On the other hand there are also bad reviews for the mobo but I think those were caused by user error. Also the Dark Power Pro 11 got pretty good reviews from professionals. Any thoughts about the partslist or something else? @paddy-stone
I just checked it and at first it seems the PSU is way too much power. I switched to an 850W tier 1 unit, but I’ll revisit if I find something better. For overclocking, go with the 1700, not the 1700x—there’s no benefit and you’ll waste money.
I had the same opinion about the PSU, yet somehow a calculator helped reach that high wattage. It seems the overclock might have been miscalculated. Is it really possible to overclock a 1700 to match the 1700X’s clock speed? I assumed it would be restricted by a lower TDP.
