What about a xeon X5680 or x5675? They're cheap on eBay. And they're 6 core with HT. They worked on a wide variety of x58 boards too, often times even when it wasn't in the support list for the board. You certainly won't get modern architecture but the x5675 I bought extended an x58 system I was...

Bump anyone have anything? Thanks!

I'm looking to replace my son's broken "new" 2ds xl. It got dropped and the screen snapped off at the hinges. I looking for something in good shape. If it's fully working but the battery is weak I can handle swapping that out. If it's not working due to a main board issue I'd be interested as...

For the most part, it just runs slowly, it doesn't seem to crash. I think it has only crashed when it didn't like my afterburner settings

So small update, I continued to mess with the card, tried it again the next day, and the card wouldn't boost, couldn't even get it to work with a forced boost level or anything. seems like the card is junk for 3d work, it was worth a shot. could be just as RazorWind suggested, there doesn't...

Could be, ill probably load some games on that PC and try it out, see if it holds up to extended sessions of load or not. Thanks for the replies.

Thats good to know, I mean after repaste and testing under timespy the card dropped a good 7-8c under load and at stock voltage and frequency settings. Ill have to look up the issues you're talking about, I've never dealt with fixing those issues and probably should for the health of my 3080...

This card has no RGB inside it, its a fairly plan Dual Fan Design with a single 8 Pin power connector. I opened it up last night to repaste after it seemed to be revived. and the board was pretty clean, no major dust, fins were all clean, and my untrained eye didnt see anything obvious in the...

That's what I figure as well, he left CIV V running and stepped away from his PC, which is on the floor near a gas fireplace. Not an ideal environment, and definitely not in one of those aurora cases, where the components are crammed in Tetris style. The thermal paste was dry and crusty, but I...

It is not under warranty, and my neighbor would have had to shell out $450 to reinstate the warranty and ship the whole PC back to Dell for service, which in my past experiences is hit or miss as best. He opted to buy a 3060ti off of me for MSRP, and gave the card to me since I wouldn't have a...

This particular card only has 1 power connector and has exhibited it across 3 systems and 3 power supplies. I wonder if an on board fuse is bad?

The drivers were obtained from nvidia, using the clean install function, I'll try ddu, but this has carried over between 2-3 PCs now, so It is unlikely to be a driver issue. I was going to tweak voltages further, than I did, but noticed just a slight change caused 3dmark to crash during it's...

It doesn't report high temps. it runs in the mid 40's or 50s during the time spy run. The clock speed doesn't stay boosted, I can't recall GPU usage, but i'm fairly certain it was low.
