    Crazy that you guys can build this for the price you sell it for. Gonna recommend this for a mate on a budget.

  • quill on 14/10/2019 - 15:22

    Is there a cheap way of adding usb 3 ports? I have external hdd and would like to use them at max speeds.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/10/2019 - 15:25

      The motherboard has USB 3 ports. Not sure about the ability to add more.

      I tried to upload a link from Amazon there is a pci e card with 4 usb 3.0 ports pretty good price 16 bucks. Just search pci e usb 3.0

    • hughc on 15/10/2019 - 12:13

      Case upgrade would give you a front USB3 port, which suggests the motherboard has a spare USB3 header.

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33048468907.html or similar would give you 2 more back panel ports, from the same header.

      Wow never noticed the core i3 9100f is a core i5 7600 hidded hahha

      • Diji1 on 14/10/2019 - 15:38

        From 8 series onwards additional cores were added across the range eg 8600 has 6 cores

      • incipient on 14/10/2019 - 15:39

        Very similar, but. Not quite identical. The i3 doesn't have an igpu…not that it matters for a desktop build with a dgpu!

        • Femelo on 14/10/2019 - 15:58

          Yep I. Know that core i3 is a F model

    • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2019 - 15:46
      +1

      The i3 probably gains more performance than what a 100Mhz of overclock could've added. 7th Gen CPUs had to be patched for Spectre and other vulnerabilities, which did affect performance, as far as I've read. 9th Gen probably came with (most of them) patched in the hardware.

      I may be wrong. Would love to learn about it if someone can simplify it.

      • maybe a bot on 14/10/2019 - 17:01
        +1

        whereas kaby lake/skylake (same design, just process optimization) had to be purely patched in software and microcode, coffee lake-r (9th generation) does include some hardware mitigations for meltdown (v3 in particular) and l1tf.

        there should be a slight performance boost as a result of this, but don't expect it to be more than a couple percent.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2019 - 17:15

          Makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing!

  • Aequitas on 14/10/2019 - 15:32

    Damnit, sounds like a much better deal than their previous deal which I bought. Cheaper and comes with better specs and even a game :(

    • wisc on 15/10/2019 - 11:26

      Don't stress too much in a couple of months time, there will be a much better deal than this one as well, and in a few months time after that, there will be some new "must have" technology released, and after that a fantastic new price!

      its a never ending cycle.

      just get what you feel is good, you'll be upgrading again in the future most likely…

  • OhWellThen on 14/10/2019 - 16:06

    Is it good for 4K video editing too? Or a higher spec is needed?
    My current desktop is a 3rd Gen i5 with 2GB 560 RX or something, thus did not even try to do it in the current desktop.

    • dcep on 14/10/2019 - 16:53

      not very good

      the one below suits you more (6 cores / 12 threads)

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/487199

      just add another stick of 8gb ram for $50

    • falconNinja on 15/10/2019 - 11:56

      Usually for video editing, you want a computer with fast storage and a lot of ram, with a faster processor. The 9100f isn't that much of an improvement over a 3rd gen i5, but if you put in a 1TB NVME drive in it, you should see a lot of improvement. Memory (RAM)is important to quickly store all the proxy files, (files that are easily srubbable in the timeline) for longer editing sessions. When I was doing some editing in Premiere, I am using 32GB of RAM, and that wasn't being fully utilized until some aftereffects work. I've edited on much worse computers than the one you have, I would recommend you have a go at editing with this program www.olivevideoeditor.org

  • drew442 on 14/10/2019 - 16:48

    The Biostar RX580 that I got from Techfast passes 20+ minutes on furmark without artifacts at all at 1545mhz core and 2250mhz vram. Not using the stock cooler, using an ID Cooling 120VGA.

    It has an IR VRM controller and you can connect to it with I2C.

    It's a nice little card.

    • camelthief on 14/10/2019 - 20:00

      Have you tried undervolting it?

      • drew442 on 17/10/2019 - 15:13

        No need.

        At stock or modest overclock you can undervolt to reduce thermal load, or if you're hitting power limit it can bring your total power back down so the clock can go up. At almost 300mhz over base on Polaris you're adding voltage to make it work.

        I think the 1545mhz was about 1240mV, it'd sit at 1195mV stock if memory serves.

        At the higher clock I had the VRM switching frequency was 1mhz and the LLC I dont recall. I'd have to look in my discord cache at home to try to find a screenshot if you're interested. (I got banned from the channel I posted in :p)

  • Rysie on 14/10/2019 - 17:00

    Any chance Can you add the option to change the CPU to an i5?

    Looking at freenas/plex server setup.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/10/2019 - 17:19

      Done, $90 for 9400F

      • Rysie on 14/10/2019 - 17:24

        Nice thank you so much.

        One last one, any chance of being able to remove the graphic and do on board video? Pushing it right? I know but not needed for NAS

        • dcep on 14/10/2019 - 17:26
          +1

          F don't have onboard graphics

          part out the graphics card, sell on ebay, you get better $$ value

          then get yourself a used $20 ancient display card

          • Rysie on 14/10/2019 - 17:29

            @dcep: arh right, makes sense. Thanks for the heads up!

  • vanyellow on 14/10/2019 - 17:24

    Damn competition is great! (As in amd Vs intel)

    Even tho I'm an AMD fanboy, I'm almost tempted to buy this machine

    What board / chipset is the mainboard?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/10/2019 - 17:28
      +2

      Biostar H310M. Will ask BA to update.

    • Melong on 14/10/2019 - 17:29

      being passed the gpu mining boom is also great

  • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 14/10/2019 - 17:40

    Will have to share this with my brother, see if it'd be possible for one to even get out to where he is. 9400f and a 580 would be absolutely awesome for $640. Better then my rig.

    • mordinhoz on 14/10/2019 - 17:56

      Thought you bought a new rig?

      • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 14/10/2019 - 18:12

        I've been planning on upgrading for the past few months but keep chickening out. When I do upgrade it'll be better then this, but for now this wins.

        • mordinhoz on 14/10/2019 - 19:49

          Yeah best to hold off until the ps5 comes out

  • Whomastadon on 14/10/2019 - 19:02

    Edited* never realised i3s were 4 core 4 thread nowadays.

    For what it's worth original comment was asking how long they've been like this but I used good old google.

  • Mr Snrub on 14/10/2019 - 19:12

    Having not bought a pc for years thanks to consoles, how ‘entry level’ is this in terms of performance etc?

  • dreamstation on 14/10/2019 - 19:57

    How does something like this compare to an i7-3770K, GTX680, 16GB DDR3?

    • MuddyClear on 14/10/2019 - 20:20
      -3

      This system would be about 4.5x faster than yours

      • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2019 - 20:55

        You think so?

        • John Doh on 14/10/2019 - 21:37

          The 3770k can be easily overclocked too. Easily ~12k.

    • BashB0ss on 15/10/2019 - 07:28
      +1

      3770k even at stock doesn’t even bottleneck a 1080ti. 3770k is great but you would want to upgrade that gpu.

    • Crumydog on 15/10/2019 - 10:04
      +1

      DDR3 is a problem there.

      • dreamstation on 15/10/2019 - 18:48

        Pretty sure my motherboard only supports up to DDR3 so if I'm going to upgrade the ram it quickly becomes an expensive upgrade.

    • falconNinja on 15/10/2019 - 11:57

      The i7 rig is fine as is. If it's slow, put an SSD in

      • dreamstation on 15/10/2019 - 18:49

        I've got an SSD in it already for the OS and a handful of games. Pretty sure it's only about 256GB as back then they were much more expensive. It's not that it's slow, just most new games don't run as well as I'd like. GPU prices be damned.

  • MrGareth on 14/10/2019 - 21:14

    Out of curiosity, what brand of PSU is included?

  • Royalchallenger on 15/10/2019 - 00:26
    +1

    What branding is the power supply and also what certification does it have? E.g. (None, Bronze, Silver etc.). Also as a whole does techfast use reliable power supplies?

    • MuddyClear on 15/10/2019 - 08:04

      A cheap Chinese brand called Allied, which has no certification. As to reliability I would say it is unreliable past it’s warranty period. And the case is mostly plastic so it looks cheap, which it is at this price.

  • MartyMonsta on 15/10/2019 - 11:02

    Showing as $849 base price for me?
