    What do i do with my "old" gaming PC?

    This was my thought too, but ive never configured such a complicated network on a VM before nor have I ever used GPU pass-through. Could be a fun project. But what really annoys me now is the form factor. I dont want to use my current case, but I need a place to mount a triple 120mm radiator.

    What do i do with my "old" gaming PC?

    the synology nas runs a little plex server. if you ask it to transcode things on the fly it can get a little wonky, but with a solid local network connection it does just fine.

    What do i do with my "old" gaming PC?

    Dude the Q6600 and the Geforce 8800s were possibly the greatest CPU and greatest GPU's of all time. Keep them for sentimental value. I never had a Q6600, but the 8800 GTS? with its wierd 320 bit bus and 640mb memory? That thing hauled ass. kids today think 30% generation-on-generation is good...

    What do i do with my "old" gaming PC?

    I'm wondering what you guys usually do with old hardware. Ever since I first replaced a computer I've hoped that one day I would stitch my old laptops and old desktops together with some high speed ethernet and run some Frankenstein linux hyper-V that could do a kind of cluster computing on...

    AMD 7700X + 32G GSkill 5600 + Asus B650 Prime = 💩

    bump. pendragon1 the ram is exactly the same SKU; they wont want to change skus without some kind of charge right. I'll ask them to give some DDR5 they having laying around --asuming they have some-- a shot. I updated the issue, at this point they've tried swapping literally every component...

    AMD 7700X + 32G GSkill 5600 + Asus B650 Prime = 💩

    That was the first thing i tried the first time pendragon1, but it didnt fix the issue the first time. At this point an OCCT failure with hundreds of memory errors in the first few seconds implies some kind of event has happened that has done damage to the memory hardware, right? The fact...

    AMD 7700X + 32G GSkill 5600 + Asus B650 Prime = 💩

    yeah so I paid for a new motherboard and $200 (!?) for Microcenter to do a motherboard swap. The thing ran their 16 hour stress test and just ran for 8 hours today including gaming without any issue. Now the thing is having trouble staying in windows for more than 5 minutes without a BSOD...
