    Have you tried different audio drivers? I had an issue with hissing audio from the generic drivers that Windows auto installed. Found some updated Realtek drivers and the hissing went away.

    WTB: Your 10th Gen Intel Gear

    Do you have other hardware that only works in a LGA1200 rig? LGA1700 (12th, 13th, and 14th gen) also supports DDR4 If you're fine with AMD you can get a new Ryzen 5500 and B550 motherboard for $200 and drop in your DDR4.

    I recently dug out my old P180 still with the core 2 quad system still inside. I forgot how heavy that sumbitch was. Just the side panels might weigh more than some modern compact mid towers.

    Holy crap that's a blast from the past. My dad's first CD-ROM drive used those caddies.

    Wanted ASAP: unlocked iPhone with a decent battery

    If it was solely for emergency calls I would suggest an Apple Watch but I'm sure a teenager without a phone these days is some kind of rare creature.

    He's right that any insulin is better than no insulin. You just need to precisely plan your all your meals if you plan on using Novolin. That one you need to inject about half an hour before you eat. (I had to do a lot of research when my dog developed diabetes) The better option (I don't know...

    Yes but they're not compatible with consumer chipsets/motherboards because Intel decided to be greedy. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13526/intel-xeon-e-review-e2186g-and-more-tested Xeon E3 v4 (Broadwell) was the last generation that worked on consumer hardware.

    If you don't have any luck here, look for a Xeon equivalent from ebay. They don't have an iGPU but I doubt that matters since your friend is gaming. Xeon E3-1240 v2 4C / 8T 3.4 GHz 3.8 GHz 8 MB 69W Xeon E3-1245 v2 4C / 8T 3.4 GHz 3.8 GHz 8 MB 77W (has iGPU) Xeon...

    The hole patterns match up perfectly with 20-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS12V. The other end plugs into what looks to be an ATX motherboard so I would assume the 20-pin is standard. It looks like 24pin to 20+4pin cables are easy to get a hold of. If you have to get rid of 4 pins then some flush cutters...

    WTB: Work Laptop (ideally under $200) - Help a [H] brother [CLOSED]

    Dell Latitude and HP Elitebook laptops with 11th gen i5 CPUs are well under $200 on ebay. The ones without storage are cheaper but I'm assuming your 256GB SSD is a 2.5" SATA drive whereas the more modern laptops only take m.2 drives. You can get a 256GB m.2 nvme for <$20 and a 512GB one can be...

    WTB: 5700X3D

    Bump for ya. I got my 5700X3D from Aliexpress during Black Friday. It's currently $150 and it'll take up to 2 weeks to arrive but it's still the cheapest way to get a new 5700X3D. SZCPU Store is the seller to look for. They're tray CPUs so no warranty but CPUs will usually work for many years if...

    WTB: Full tower case with uber load of 5.25 bays

    Is hot swap a hard requirement? The Fractal Meshify 2 XL and Define 7 XL can hold a lot of drives if you buy additional sleds.
