    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Odd request - does anyone have any extra old style Lian Li hard drive trays? They’re a little under 6” long and they have 4 corner grommeted thumb screws for sliding into the bays. I recently found my case only has one and I’d really like another one or two to expand some storage. Ideally...

    WTT: 2x 64Gb Kits (128Gb total) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 RAM for a GPU, a NVMe SSD, Smaller DDR4 kit

    EDIT: Trade completed 6/8/26. I have a bit of an oddball trade request. I recently picked up an old case that just happened to have some nice hardware in it (MB/CPU/RAM/PSU), unexpectedly, and now I am looking to trade off the RAM for other parts to complete a functional build. What I have to...

    Does anyone have a spare LGA775 45nm Core 2 Quad they're not using? Q9450, Q9550, Q9650 would be preferred. Happy to pay a few $ for it. My faithful Q6600 had a spectacular failure (2 of the capacitors on the back actually fell off) and I'd like to keep the old system running. I might as...

    EDIT: claimed 12/8/25 It's Christmas time and I'm feeling generous. 🎅 My last freebie post went pretty well and I've got one more item to give away from my workbench clean out. Does anyone want a really nice condition Antec Three Hundred mid tower? It's yours for the cost of shipping...

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    Mostly for nostalgia. It plays all my favorite old games just fine, but the microstutter with SLI enabled is pretty bad so it’s not a very enjoyable experience compared to a newer PC.

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    Sharing two of my newly completed builds. First, my gaming PC which was kind of a Ship of Theseus type project over the last few months hunting for deals: 14600kf / 9070xt / B760M PRO RS / 32GB DDR5 6000mhz / 1tb NVMe / 750w / Jonsbo D32 STD / Win11 Pro And second, I spent some time...

    WTB: GPU to pair with 4570k build

    Looking for a GPU to add into an older PC I'm putting together from spare parts, to introduce my daughter to some older PC games. Already have a 1080p 180hz monitor set aside, and a backlog of older games like HL2, Bioshock, Borderlands, etc. Ideally not spending money for a GPU more powerful...

    Looking for a 775 tower cooler, something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or similar where I can clip on a couple 120mm fans. There are a bunch on eBay but it seems like they're almost all missing the socket mounting hardware. Trying to replace an existing old system that has a CPU cooler...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    You're right, I definitely see that on eBay. That's why I'm bartering some significantly newer hardware to see if I can shake anything loose from people here rather than roll the dice on eBay. Sending you a PM on the Patriot kit, the Zalman (what a throwback, loved this cooler), and the SSD...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Maybe a longshot here, but looking for some hardware from the same time period as my first proper gaming PC back around 2007. Does anyone have LGA775 hardware they are willing to part with? I'm happy to pay shipping plus a bit extra especially for tested/working hardware. I kept some of my...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    EDIT: All parts spoken for at this time. I have a few things available here that are just taking up space that I'd be happy to give away for the cost of shipping. If one person wants the whole lot, that's even better. Condition for everything is working when pulled, most parts only used on a...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Thank you. I’m not using anything fancy, just a 6pin to 8pin converter from Amazon. I wasn’t intending to use one but I goofed when I ordered the PSU originally because I thought it came with a 6+2pin from the factory. It wasn’t a huge issue to convert though since the combined TDP of the CPU...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Another update from me here. Now that I've got airflow and temperatures mostly figured out, I wanted to find a way to reduce noise. I was running the 80mm exhaust fan at 100% which was around 2200rpm and while it wasn't exactly loud (I measured about 37 dB from my seating position), it was a...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Haha, you're half right, I'll admit. Stock airflow in this case is, well... there isn't any airflow. I've done some mods to help this and I'll explain below. HP did do a decent job putting ventilation holes around the GPU on the bottom of the case and the side, but the stock case feet are...
