I have had the same J1900 Atom (different board though) running as a KODI HTPC. Worked fine. Up until HEVC got popular. As alexrose1uk said, the problem is, that there is no hardware decoder that can handle modern codecs (like HEVC/x265). In that case, Kodi will fall back to software decoding...

But why are you stuck on using Win7?

I have OpenELEC running on an Odroid N2. At the time this was the only affordable solution that could play 4k HDR files and put Atoms audiostreams through to my multichannel receiver. I guess I have had that thing running for almost trwo years now and I am very happy with it. I have been a user...

About the CPU, maybe you are expriencing thermel throttleing. The boxed cooler in combination with 6 year old, dried out thermal paste...? Maybe take off the cooler, clean the surfaces of cooler an cpu with alcohol and apply freh thermal paste just to be sure...

First of all, get a SSD! It will feel like a new machine, trust me! Make a fresh OS install on it and get the latest drivers. For the Games you mentioned you really shouldn't need an upgrade. Right now (during the "Second Big GPU-Crysis") there is basically no affordable GPU that would be worth...

Maybe a valid option would be to update the "Value" part of reviews after the product has been launched. Because reviews often get released before product launch. Before the product launches you could fill the Value part of the review with a determination of what would be a reasonable price...

What are these things?

Yeah, I reckon its a mobile variant too.

Yes, AMD Ryzen 3000 and 5000 already supports PCIe v4 on b550 and x570 mainboards. Intel will support v4 only on new Gen 11xxx CPUs starting 2021. What CPU would you use ob that b550 mobo?

I would prefer a new GT1030, GTX1050, GTX 16xx, RX550, RX560, RX570 or RX5500 instead of a used cards that is 5 generations old. Just for the newer video engine/codec compatibility.

Your 600W Corsair PSU will handle a RX 5500 without any problems. PCIe v3 will not bottleneck in your case, thats more of a concern for high end handware, your setup is fine for that.

Why do you spend money on a PCIe v4 SSD on a platform that can do only PCIe v3? A Samsung 970 would do the same speed for half the price on that cpu-mobo-combination. Anyways for video editing 500GB is kind of small. If gaming is not the priority on this system, why choose a ridiculously huge...

I only use syncing on Linux. There 'rsync' is the program that does the job. Just google ist, it is very well and extensively documented. I dont know if there is an equivalent for that in windows but I am pretty sure that Powershell must have something similar as it is a pretty basic...

Cloning literally means to copy everything. What you mean would be called syncing (for example with rsync) this technique allows to only write changed data to a disk.

Why clone? This ist normaly only needed for devices with bootable flags or filesystems that you cant normally use under the host os. If there are just a bunch of files on that stick, why not just do a ragular copy of those? Generally i would recommend using exFAT for usb sticks, its usable...

You can just use it. It doesnt matter if one of the ground wires is missing!

Well, I personally would not buy any of that ugly shiny RGB stuff. But for anyone who likes it, it might be ok. But on the tech site its sound. Zen 3 plus 3080 is a good combination if you want high end gaming and play current RT supported games. If you want to save some bucks you could even go...

Are these regular power connectors in the rendering? Is nVidia abandoning their new nonsense connector after only 4 months?

Temperatures per se dont really matter. Its not important if your cpu is stable at 60c or 80c. But sticking at 84c could mean throttling. If youre cpu runs into thermal throttling, you should optimize cooling to a level where no more thermal throttling happens.

Wow, "succesfuly developed" meaning they managed to solder chips they bought onto a pcb, thats quite an achievement!

There was something similar with one of the biggest IT Tech Sites in Germany (heise.de) in 2018. When nVidia send out a new pro forma NDA, heise.de refused to sign it and instead chose to publish the NDA in full lenght...

You may be right. Anyways they are pretty good. As FSP is pretty good too and combined with premium fans it gets even better. On their own Website they say: "...Which is why our very own experts lead product conception, design and quality control from our headquarters in Germany" No matter...

BeQuiet is quite good. They started with PSUs "designed in germany, made in china" and expanded to fans, coolers and cases over the years. Most of their products get real good results in reviews.

@PowerPC Again you have not reacted to any of my arguments and my personal experiences. But you come with that IBM crap (which is not a study anyways) again and again. And you are certainly trying to make this personal by making baseless asumptions about my relationship. Sorry dude, that is so...

Get some secondhand fullhd monitor for 50 bucks for now. and get a nice 1440 monitor when you can afford it.
