$250 Gaming PC Build & Game Benchmarks | Intel Xeon E5-2630 V4 + RX580 8GB 2048SP

[@SandwichTech_]

I built this gaming pc for around $250 and it came out clean!!!!!! I will test this build further with several other games but instead of the 2630 v4 I'm going to be using the Xeon 2680 V4 CPU. The new Fortnite season launches next week so expect new Fortnite Benchmarks 👀👀💯💯 Stay Safe Everyone! Key Notes: - These ali express GPU's get hot quick. I recommend leaving the settings at stock frequency's. - DONT FORGET YOUR CMOS BETTERY it cost like $3 at target. - Check Description for links.

First of all thank you for this build. I have built it myself and it is amazing, it was a struggle, but I did it. I have a question about the ram. So, I have 32gb of ram and currently it's running at 2133mhz. The one that I bought says it's supposed to run at 3200mhz, where in the bios could I change it to reach 3200mhz? Thank you for your help in advance!

[@SandwichTech_]

Glad your build worked out well! 💯💯💯Unfortunately with these xeons platforms, 2133mhz is the max speed. You wont be able to change it, it sucks but if you ever change to a newer mobo platform you will be able to run at 3200mhz (depends on mobo)

I have been wanting to build xeon pc as my budget is pretty tight ... And your video really inspired me and give me the ideas ! I will be buying x99 from ZSUS brand .. Is there any other important tips you can give for building xeon pc

[@SandwichTech_]

Hi, sorry for the late response. But I would recommend these tips 1. Buy a lithium coin to put on the mobo. Ali express mobos dont come with the cmos battery so you would have to purchase one yourself. 2. When buying from ali express make sure to use their coupons to save money. 3. Match the ram sticks to the colored slots on the mobo ex: Slot 1 and Slot 4 But yea those are pretty much the big 3 tips! Stay Safe 💯💪

[@LoganBrake]

Where did you plug in the 5v argb from the fan hub? There’s no connector on the motherboard? Is the sata all you need for the case to communicate and light up the fans?

[@SandwichTech_]

@@LoganBrake you connect the 5V cable to a fan hub/rgb hub. This case came with one so I was able to connect it to the back of the case and into the fan hub, I show it during the montage section of this video. The fan hub connect with sata psu connector and it has a led cable that connects to the reset switch pins at the bottom of the motherboard (front panel connector) so u can cycle the rgb using the reset switch at the top of the case. Only bad thing is you don’t have a reset button anymore since the led connector is taking the place of the reset switch.

@@SandwichTech_ Thank you, that's a shame.

[@markwazowskinreal]

Why do you use different specific processors? From what I understand, the best chip on that socket for gaming(that's less than $20) is the 1660 v3, as it can reach much higher clocks than the ones that you've featured.

[@SandwichTech_]

I chose that xeon since it came with the motherboard. The 1660V3 is around $40 (like with 50+ reviews and 4 stars and above) I do see it for $20 but the sellers don’t have reviews. If I find one that looks legit I will benchmark it.

[@KaosKaosKaos1]

great vid. what kind of power draw was the system doing?

[@SandwichTech_]

For the cpu I’m not to sure since the readings are incorrect. These ali express mobos aren’t the best when it comes to power draw readings but for the gpu the max power draw is around 175W for this card. So I would say the max power draw from this build when gaming on high settings would be around 300 Watts or less. Plenty of room for upgrades since it’s a 600 watts psu.

[@blacksquaregaming]

What's that black thing the fan cables are plugged into at 3:39? I don't see it in the parts list.

[@SandwichTech_]

That’s a fan hub. It comes with the case. You connect the cable to a sata power cable and at the bottom of your mobo. You control the rgb by pressing a button at the top of the case. Very simple.

[@somelazyboi1739]

I've been thinking of building something like this but I don't know if I should go for the xeon 1650 v4 or 2680 v4. Which one would you recommend?

[@SandwichTech_]

Based on the benchmarks ive seen the 2680V4 got better fps. But like an extra 7-13fps. I bought my 2680v4 for like $10 on ali express during a non sale day. Both perform similar so it depends which one you can get cheaper. I will benchmark the 2680v4 with several games sometime later.

question does your motherboard has tpm2? if not how did you play Valorant

[@SandwichTech_]

I was using Windows 10 with this build so it didn’t require TPM2. You can technically still use windows 11 with this motherboard, but you won’t have the full features such as tpm2 because most Xeons don’t support windows 11 to its fullest.

[@YYB_short]

I want ask you for the 300$ pc what the lowest power supply i can get

The apevia prestige (the one I used in this video) is one of the best budget PSU's that work well. Its rated c in the psu tier list which is great for low end builds. A better psu is the MSI Mag 650 Watt PSU: www.amazon.com/MSI-A650BN-650W-Power-Supply/dp/B0991TZ399/ref=asc_df_B0991TZ399/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693415510935&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13741123964255594675&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031778&hvtargid=pla-1572238573421&mcid=33a77cf7954b3baa8f3422bc8c27a8b3&gad_source=1&th=1 Now the cheapest PSU that is 600 watts is this thermaltake smart: www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Certified-Continuous-Active-PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W/dp/B014W3EMAO/ref=asc_df_B014W3EMAO/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693275687937&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13082416063030733749&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031778&hvtargid=pla-441825605018&psc=1&mcid=eda0ff60ab2c39428a77106227b9554f&gad_source=1 Im not sure if im wrong but in the psu tier list its rated F which is really bad. But ive used it in my last $200 pc build video and it worked well. I also used the 500 watt version for my first pc and it lasted 2 years ( the pc was on for at least 14 hours a day for 2 years) Also many people use that psu for really low end builds. idk how its rated F.

@@Diego_10xd You'll be able to play on Balanced settings with an avg fps of 65. As for ultra you'll get 60fps in certain areas of the map but you will probably average around 55fps throughout the whole match. There's a setting called Frame Gen that boost fps but the input delay is pretty bad. It could say 120FPS but it feels like 70FPS. If they fix Frame Gen, it will be extremely useful for budget builds.

[@Diego_10xd]

@@SandwichTech_ It seems good to me, bro, well, although there are many graphic options in Warzone that I will remove almost everything, I will leave it at a minimum and the textures at normal since it does not change much and there are other options that remove fps and do not affect the graphics, so I imagine that by configuring the graphics well it would have a very good performance and well the fsr I don't think I notice it much
