Dont know where else to ask. Is it good specs for 2024? Like is it worth it to buy this second hand: PC Spec Cpu : Intel i7 8700k Psu : Tuf Edition Modular Coolermaster 650W Mobo : Tuf Gaming z390 with Wifi Ram : Kingston 16gb 8x2 3600mhz ddr4 Renegade RGB M2 ssd : acer 512gb cooler : Msi AIO Mag Core case : Azza Case with ARGB fan Gpu : Msi Rtx 2060 Super 8gb Vram
I definitely will if I come across some. I am liking the AMD integrated graphics quite a bit from that generation, in comparison to what Intel had to offer.
Not super well without lowering resolution and in game settings. Look for a T14 AMD CPU version. I just did a video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N0qmfS9ioE8.htmlsi=mkJJjDuY2FDZAm7X
If it fits your budget and you can't invest in something like a T480 with a 4 core CPU, then yes totally. I am certain you would be able to make it work with the right amount of RAM and an SSD.
I would always choose a fan with good static pressure. Noctua themselves collaborated on a PSU with Seasonic, and rather than their own 140 mm fan, they went with their high-pressure 120 mm, because PSUs have a lot of back-pressure.
That's fair and a good consideration, thanks. My only rationale for keeping it in was positive results after testing it under load. Pretty far from the kind of work they do. That Seasonic PSU looks pretty cool
The M.2 2242 slot for the WWAN module supports PCIe NVME SSDs, but does not support SATA SSDs. My understanding is that there must only be chips on one side of the SSD, or else it won't fit. I've been looking for a T14 Gen 1 for a while now with the Ryzen 7 and 16GB of soldered memory. Can't seem to find one at a good price.
I have five T14 Gen 1's at the moment if you want me to do a price+shipping quote to your location. I am in BC, Canada. I don't have a 2242 NVMe to test anymore, but I did test a 2280 NVMe with no success.
It does not happen automatically, if that is what you are saying. I am not sure what you are implying. With thinkpads I have worked on you can either disable the internal battery in BIOS or unplug it for service.
Thanks! I am selling the similar ThinkPad T460s if you want to check out that video, you'll find it. As well as the T14, which woule be quite the upgrade from a T420. Just to be clear, I still think the T420 is/was great.
You can buy a new thinkcentre 70s with i5 14600 and 310 watt for about 750-850 depending on mem/ssd. Maybe save a bit and get that? Get an lp 4060 in it and game? ~1100 and brand new? 2 years warranty. I always have difficulty with using old systems like 10 years old. If used and like 2 years half price 600 ok, I understand 🙂
First of all, that's a nice build! In addition, that is curious with regard to the higher temps using push/pull heat sink tower fans? It's possible that one of three things occurred: the pull fan was slightly off-set from the tower, thus causing some heat blockage; or the pull fan was turning at lesser RPM's, or, lastly, the exhaust fan on the case couldn't keep up with the additional heat flow? Nonetheless, using only one fan on that heat sink tower should be more than sufficient.
The odd thing is that I just tested the exact same cooler with a Ryzen 5 5600 & RTX 3060 Ti combo. The temps were great with the dual fan setup. Perhaps the case I built into with 3 x air intake fans and a smaller GPU made the difference in air flow. The PC is in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jQUYnZhVchs.htmlsi=K-Ylcs9EjyBebTyV
@@HaisteComputerRepair I did think of that, but when you removed the second fan from the back of the heat sink tower, the temps were reduced to between 58 to 62C.That was still with the middle intake fan removed. In addition, the case you used for the 3060Ti build was different.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Oh yeah. I've run into many idiosyncrasies over the years which lead to tremendous internet research. Fortunately, the latter has always been a great help.
I'm used to building a higher tier of machine, but I congratulate you, thoroughly, on choosing that i5-12400F processor. It's price to performance is spectacular!
I focus on budget builds unless someone special orders. I try to keep good hardware circulating through the community! The only downside to this CPU is the cap at 3200MHz DDR4 RAM speeds, unless a user is able to successfully manage a bit of overclocking with the right motherboard.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Understood. However, it's a basic build that certainly gets the job done. Again, I think that you made a wonderful choice in the CPU category.
Hello, could you please help me? I have the same graphics card and will upgrade to this CPU as well. I would like to know how many framerates I will get when playing Dota2.I also use the same screen resolution as you. Can you try it for me? Thank you very much, brother.
Ive seen a similar laptop going up for sale, but it has an intel i5 8th gen instead of ryzen 5 should I get it? Im looking for a solid thinkpad that I can use for graphic designing. The programs Im intending to use are Adobe Photoshop and illustrator. Im kinda torn as Ive seen alot of thinkpads and I can’t decide whether to which one I should get. Im also getting a solid deal on a T470s that comes with an intel i7 7th gen. I would appreciate if you could recommend me something that’s beneficial and will assist me in my work. Note: they all are coming with 16gb ddr4 ram stick, Intel UHD graphics, and an ssd which ill be upgrading to 1tb.
Well, the i5 8th gen will have the benefit of a 4 core 8 thread CPU. This will help with photoshop and illustrator. The 7th gen i7 is a 2 core 4 thread CPU that is a bit faster than the i5 7th gen CPU. It is not as good as 8th gen for what you want to use it for.
So what's the scoop on the M.2 SSD? I just purchased this laptop wanting to have dual boot from 2 different SSDs to run Linux. Many videos on other Thinkpads with the ability to use the WWAN slot with a M.2 2242, but now I read that for this particular model the Thinkpad T560, I'm not able to do that. What's the story with that? Is it something that can be addressed with a BIOS update? Makes no sense all these other Thinkpad models can do it but for whatever warped reason, the T560 can't.
Unfortunately it is both not listed in T560 spec sheet and it did not work when I tried installed a m.2 SATA III SSD. The T570 does support an SSD in the WWAN port.
I was wondering if this can handle microsoft teams video calls and screen sharing. Any thoughts? I want it to be my coding machine where I can have calls and pair program with people
Yes, it would work fine. I would try to source a 16GB RAM stick to install if it doesn't already have one. An SSD is a must, as well. If you see a T480, perhaps think about purchasing it over the X270 as it will have the added benefit of a 4 core 8 thread CPU. Just make sure it's an i5 or i7.
@@thanasisgiannakopoulos2315 It's a 2 core 4 thread CPU, so as long as you aren't running too many things at once and have a solid internet connection I don't see why it wouldn't work fine. Good luck!
@@HaisteComputerRepair Hi, in the M.2 2230 SSD port, you install a 128 GB Transcend SSD, this one is NVME Gen 3 SSD, my question is related if you test with an Gen 4 NVME M.2 2230 SSD port, not the 2,5" Sata port. Thanks!
@@Pitatito The SSD I used is not an NVMe SSD it is SATA III m.2. They look similar, but the format is older and runs at similar speeds to a 2.5" SATA SSD. I'm not sure that I said NVMe in the video, but if I did that would be in error. Either way, no I did not test a gen 4 NVMe. Look at this quick guide: www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/two-types-m2-vs-ssd
From a laptop that was released 12 years ago, you get what you get. There are several third party options, though, if the OEM battery is not holding much of a charge anymore.
Think of this laptop as more business class. There is only integrated graphics from the CPU, which would not perform very well with games like that. You could always try it out, but I wouldn't buy a T470 to play games like that.
@@gamingnesia5317 Unless you get lucky, you need somewhere in the realm of $400+ to get a gaming laptop or a laptop with a dedicated GPU. Try looking for a ThinkPad P50, P51, and P52 with a 4 GB GDDR5 Quadro GPU for something cheaper than a gaming laptop. I reviewed these laptops in my videos.
I have one and upgraded the ram (previous 8 GB now 16), changed the HDD into an SSD Sata 2 TB and upgraded the screen to a 1080p one. Honestly, I have an ACER Nitro 5 and I can't stop using my T460 hahaha I'm considering getting a dockstation for it.
so its me again i saw this for 20$ but it was an i3 2nd gen, im really low on budget so im thinking if i could put a rx550 low profile on this one can it handle the gpu with the power supply?
Well, 12th gen intel will have the benefit of PCIe 4.0 speeds for your GPU (1070 ti is PCIe 3.0, though) and perhaps higher RAM speeds, but performance will be similar to what is in my video here I imagine.
I have a m710s with a i3 6100 and 8gb(4x2) i got for free Im thinking of upgrading to a i7 6700 and installing a gpu and a ssd what gpus do you reccomend on a budget
A GTX 1650 would be great if you can find a cheap one. RX 550 is a 4GB card that will be cheap and you can play some games on it. GTX 1050 Ti as well if you can find one for a good deal.
hi so im planning to have a m910s and i was wondering if i could put a gtx 750ti only im a new on this upgrading/building pc, im worrying the psu would expload or cause a fire if i put a gtx 750ti i hope u can help me
Why is my i7 6700 power stuck at 30 watts even when working hard? Is there a setting in the BIOS that I need to activate? Please help....Does the number of power pins on the motherboard matter? My motherboard only has 4 CPU power pins
@@altair7655 Can you expound on "stuck?" Do you mean it peaks at 30W? That isn't abnormal as far as I know. The TDP is 65W, but it's fairly normal and expected for CPU's to not exceed even 3/4 of the rating. The i7-6700 is not a CPU you could overclock, especially with the Lenovo motherboard.
@@HaisteComputerRepair do you maybe know what is compatible with the 240W Integrated PSU? I find very few information online, and can I only use 1333Mhz ram on the Motherboard or would 1600Mhz work too? does it even support quad channel? If not, to get 2x 8 GB would be better than 4x 4GB right? And I thought about a gtx 1050 to get a long with the i5 2400 but im concerned because I heard that this is too much for the 240W PSU. And is it worth spending 20$ on a i7 2600 to install it? It only has a few Ghz more but Hyper Threading :D I would appreciate an answer, if not its also fine :) just thought I ask.
@@galog333f5 GTX 1050 would be perfectly fine. Go for a 1050 Ti if you can as it has 4GB GDDR5. With 2nd Gen Intel CPU's in a business class PC like this, RAM speeds will cap at 1333MHz. 3rd Gen Intel and up supporting DDR3 is 1600MHz. i7-2600 would be great and they are pretty cheap now.
@@sebastianmgongora1001 This particular T480s meets the minimum requirements, but I would look for something like a ThinkPad P50, P51, or P52 with either a 4 core or 6 core Xeon CPU & 4GB GDDR5 Quadro iGPU to get some real work done. You can load those up with ECC RAM as well, if possible, which is a nice added bonus.
