Pc and server built from unused dental equipment.
OS: Artix (Systemd-less Arch)
- CPU | Intel Core i7-5820K > Great CPU, overclocked to 4.5Ghz stable and is very reliable
- CPU Cooler | Noctua NH-U9S > Keeps CPU cool, 85 degrees celcius max when stress testing. Did not change thermal paste which is probably 4+ year old.
- Motherboard | Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3P > Overclocks great, not a big fan of the UI tho.
- Memory | Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) DDR4-2400 CL16 Memory > Nothing to say here, did not try overclocking it yet.
- Storage | TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan G 1 TB SSD > Good I guesa? My first SSD
- Storage | Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" HDD > Pulled out of an old PC, only used to backup Artix using Timeshift couple of times a week
- Video Card | x2 MSI ARMOR OC Radeon RX 580 8 GB > I got 2 of them due to an error. Very good card, fans perform well and they defenitly aren’t heavy enough to have an anti-sag bracket. I use them for Stable Diffusion and while being a bit slow, they do not struggle at all. Got them overclocked to 1470MHz/1200mV on the GPU and 2100MHz/1000mV on the Vram with 202w max power limit.
- Case | Corsair 4000D Airflow Power Supply | Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold > Good, quiet and reliable so far. Could’ve gotten a more powerfull one tho.
- Case Fans | Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB ELITE > Not very good fans, pretty loud under load and I don’t care about RGB anymore.
- Keyboard | Dell KB216 Wired > Good keyboard? Pulled from old pc build.
- Mouse | Glorious MODEL O > Nice mouse.
- Monitor| Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP > Not really good monitor, image quality is especially bad when moving suddenly in games.

Make sure to setup automatic
fsck,tune2fsandsmartctlreports on your Debian Server to protect your Minecraft world and you media. Debian doesn’t have this configured, unlike other OSes. Losing a wolrd is hard and having to go through and ripping all your DVD/Blu-rays again will suck. RAID is advisable as well.Apart from that i have a very similar server setup. Debian 12 on overspeced machine running docker jellyfin (music, series, movies), portainer, pihole and nginx. VPN to VPS with reverse proxy for access from work devices. 2 new spinners in RAID 1 just for media n documents, 1 2nd hand spinner for debian and a ex-enterprise SSD for those legal DVD/Blu-ray rips.
