I already have the drives. I can fit 3.. I have a p5 1tb and a p3 4tb. Both are PCIe3.

Mine has a heatsink for the drive mounted above the GPU but not for the one under it or the one on the bottom corner of the board. I'm still waiting on parts but when my gpu gets here I'll try to measure between the gpu and M.2 and see how much space I have. The m.2 heatsinks are so cheap it's...

Well I just felt like if I put my 4tb drive in the PCIe4x2 slot it may be slower than if it was in a 4x4 slot even if it's an older PCIe3 drive running through a faster slot. If that makes sense. Guess I'll just run it in the 4x4 slot and see how it goes.

Hey guys, I'm finally upgrading my old 4790k, z87 ITX system. I've picked up a ASRock b560 MATX Pro RS because it has 3 m.2 slots. One is PCIe Gen5x4, Another is Gen4x4 and the last one is Gen4x2. The Gen5x4 is positioned above the GPU, the gen4x4 is positioned about slot 2~3, under the gpu...

So I'm finally upgrading my 4790k system since impulse shopped a 7600x build. I just couldn't fit a GPU in this little node304 -_- and Can't play new games with my old fury drivers... AMD can eat a dingus for that one. Furys weren't cheap... I started a build right before covid... Bought a...

the trick is... Install windows 7, crack it with KMS, 'upgrade' to 10, let Microsoft take your hardware info, then hard wipe and reinstall 10 fresh...

Go to the club? lol... sounds SO exciting... Maybe back when the 'clubs' had live music and a community of people that didn't spend the entire night looking at their phones. Now days, around here anyways, it's just pathetic drunks that don't know how to communicate with each other. Maxing out a...

IDK, that would be a funny looking hardline loop with a GPU right below it ....

I take it you couldn't run both processors and both sets of RAM... That would have been a pretty cool looking machine.

You should work on pulling the stick of arrogance out of your ass.. you'd be a lot happier. Must be miserable to not enjoy things. You're once again making baseless assumptions and speaking with great ignorance. What you seem to be doing for the sole purpose of stroking your own ego. We all get...

Right! I can't get a new GPU right now, so why not knock the dust off the old stuff and see if it'll boot.. Worst case is it doesn't and I just sell off some stuff. But if it does, it'll look cool hung on a wall. Or, at least it'll be built and working in my closet LOL. I don't get Krenums...

Look man, sucks you had a bad time and it made you miserable and bitter.. but honestly... you failing at playing with old hardware didn't give you anything but a case of butthurt, so... I don't really care. Go be condescending and negative elsewhere. Hardware that requires more power...? The...

There was also this board.. if it counts.. Lots of weird stuff out there. lol. https://www.newegg.com/jetway-gtdual-std-g/p/N82E16813153035 As far as old GPUS go, The thing about getting old 8800s or 9800s is they require aux power.. The main reason I want something 'modern' is I can get a low...

Well that's pretty simple, because I can, and I want to. LoL It's not like I don't have a reasonably modern system that I play games on. And I've got a case on the way to hopefully build a new one. I wouldn't mind being able to get a 6800 XT sometime in the near future. But, that old 939...

My board is the Asus a8n32 sli. (Anyone know if I can make this boot from USB?) PCI-E for gpus. Has a opteron 165 that I had running at ~2.6ghz way back when. If i get it all up and running i may pick up a 180 or something off ebay later. I just ordered a second kit of ram off ebay. It has...
