Good video mate! Can't wait to see what the RX 6400 can do, a shame not more KZbinrs are talking about it as for a drop in upgrade to an aging Dell or Lenovo PC it looks a decent option.

Nice little find. I've just recently finished a build with an i5-6500 in it, and it's got more to give. I had a standard sized case so I was able to swap the case and put in a 1060 3gb. It'll be interesting to see how you system deals with the 6400 and whether the 4 pcie lane connection has any issue or whether a CPU bottleneck will happen first.

@andystech101 Жыл бұрын

Yeah it’s just a strange platform 6/7th gen! The i7’s cost what a used 10100f does, no v4/v5 Xeon support which is just a total bummer and it’s just not worth buying for an i5 for a custom build. Well unless it’s super cheap, that why I love playing around with these OEMs. Just on my holidays at the moment but looking forward to the follow up when I get back 😁

I have this exact RX 6400 in one of my systems. Gets a little toasty after hours of gaming. But you aren't going to find anything near its price, that competes with it for single slot LP builds. Even in PCIe 3.0 mode. As you doubtless know based on your replies here. Most of the terrible numbers it throws up, are because the tester used settings that exceeded the frame buffer. Digging the content Andy. You are already getting better with the camera work, and choices for B roll. A loyal viewer's observation: You can sound a little monotone and disinterested at times. I don't mind it at all, but it'd probably be advisable to do a bit more acting. For example: Laughing about what the X stands for was the most seemingly natural moment you had in this one. You don't have to be a spaz like Linus, but being more animated wouldn't hurt for broader appeal. Then again, armchairing it is a lot easier than doing it. I'll sod off now. 🤐

@andystech101 Жыл бұрын

Haha yes it’s hard to read a script sometimes and sound natural, being dyslexic doesn’t help also, I’m not a natural speaker or very good communicator 😅 hence why I like PC’s I think! Need to get in the flow more and appreciate the feedback. I’m honestly loving the 6400 so far, it clearly has its limitations which keep in mind is a great little gpu for sff systems like these old Dell and HPs. Yes mine hits about 85c after a while and one pasted it with some decent stuff 😅

Just bought one of these off eBay for £60 with 8GB ram and a 480GB SSD. Only an i3 6100 and integrated graphics though. To be fair, I've only bought it to browse the web in a shed I'm converting into a den, so it should do the job. Would I need to swap out the motherboard if I wanted to upgrade to a 6500 or do they use the same socket set? Edit: Just had a look and they do use the same socket set. Not sure if I'll even need to upgrade because I've just watched a video demonstrating what the 6100 can do and it seems more than adequate. Feel like I've bagged a bargain picking this PC up for £60.

I was wondering if I could run 2 monitors off the graphics card in there. I think it’s hdmi and digital port so using the digital port with a hdmi converter to run the second monitor. Do you think the pc can keep us with this? Cheers mate. Great video

🤟Is that nail varnish on your thumb left over from the weekend??, will be interesting to see if the RX 6400 bottlenecks running in pcie 3.0 or will it be 2.0? and the CPU not supporting Gen 4, apparently, it can lose up to 35% performance in some games, I await with bated breath

Cheers, no unfortunately I bashed my thumb the other day 😅 it’s PCIe 3.0 and yes fingers crossed but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised 🙏🏼

@rmgaminguk7079 Жыл бұрын

Don't forget the main reviews of the 6400 would have been testing it with unrealistic CPU combinations such as a i9-13900k to remove CPU bottleneck. With a i5-6400 and playing top end games at medium/high settings rather than ultra will close the gap. We may even see no difference if the i5-6400 gives us a CPU bottleneck. I'm looking forward to seeimg how this combo performs. I put my money on a CPU bottleneck as my i5-6500 had high CPU usage with just a gtx 1060 3gb in many games. In e-sport games it'll give very high average FPS.

@andystech101 6 ай бұрын

Personally I’d try and go with a MT/Mini tower case as you’ll have a lot more options over the SSF units like this. Try and find an i7 if you can or a later 8th gen i5 8500/8400. GPU wise a GTX1650/1050ti or RX560/460 4GB will work with the stock PSU so just plug and play. If you want to get little creative and use a Sata to 8/6pin PCIe power adapter then a GTX1060 3/6GB will do the job nicely. Hope that helps
