I think I finally figured out a solution for some of my old stuff and I'm pretty excited!
I have a vega 56 that I picked up like 18 months ago that has a waterblock. However, when i got it, the oem air cooler could not be found.
I have a 280mm rad that I got for a project that couldn't fit...
I am having the same dilemma of what to do with stuff that still is useful, bit just ain't the best.
For example...
An fx-8320 paired with an rx 570. That is still a very capable desktop workstation for email and office. It could even handle some games like minecraft.
Something like that...
Been looking at the Dark Matter 43548 for a secondary system.

Only $220 and according to Toms, the stand actually has adjustment up and down.
dang, that is a really good deal.
I was doing some controller stuff a couple weeks ago and decided to get the cheap knock off xbox 360 dongles because I have a bunch of 360 controllers from the days of using 360s as media extenders. Those dongles work fine after you go through all the steps to...
I had a 5040ub...you gotta be careful with that one. It has a known PSU issue. I think mine was starting to go again, so now I have a 5050ub, which is slightly better, but not really discernable. The black levels of the epson units are fantastic.
I gave my 5040 to my brother when his old...
I have some byski blocks on some 30 series cards....the thermal pad situation really is a pain.
When I did them, I didn't use the ones that came with the block for the VRAM...instead got some of the gelids. Getting them to compress and everything make proper contact was really hard. Just...
Partially true...if you sold as a business, you would also be on the hook for self employment tax.
And the thought you dont have to report the income if it is sold at a loss is a nice thought, but be prepared to defend it. The IRS (and other revenue agencies) have this lovely little caveat...
I don't like things that are perfectly fine getting wasted...not that I know what I'd do with it. I have a shelf full of cards...
Maybe I should give it away or something. Not sure if anyone would even want it.....
So how I tune ryzen 5000's is by using PBO and then core cycler https://github.com/sp00n/corecycler to work through the offsets.
Start each offset with -30 in the bios. Then I start running the thing. It methodically goes through each core of the CPU testing it with Prime95. After it finds...
Well, I got out my card and really inspected it and compared it to the sapphire....doesn't look quite right.
My best bet looks to be the morpheus or a busted xfx and steal the cooler off of it. There is one on ebay for $65, which is less expensive than a morpheus. I put it on my watchlist...
I have looked at the morpheus and as best as I can figure for the vega, you need the vega version because of the way the pins/holes are. Annnd those are tough to find.
Awhile ago I bought a used XFX Vega 56 that had been converted to be watercooled. As it was used, it didn't have the original heatsink for air cooling. No biggie as I had the pieces to utilize it.
Fast forward to now and it is just sitting around and really can't be utilized very well. I...
Forgive me, but this will be a bit long winded with a lot of experience from minecraft...
My son and I have played a lot of minecraft together...
First question: are you playing bedrock or java?
This one is pretty important.
If you are on bedrock, then you'd need a card that can do ray...
The machine learning is interesting...not sure how or what to do or annnything.
I first upgraded my personal PC and my son's to 3090/80.
Then I put my 1080ti in my emby box.
Then I box everything else up and it is in my basement...not sure what to do with it. Two are on waterblock, so...
I have been playing the beta 1.1....it is getting better, but still a bit off.
My foibles lately are:
The targeting took a step backward in the last patch.
You can initiate a naval invasion now, but only against a major nation...
Need oil and want to invade Iraq? Sorry. Blockades are a...
The four core one is ok I guess for heat. I don't think i could even get an eight core model to boot with the lousy stock cooler.
I guess my whole thought/point was that the four nerfed core really wasn't very good especially compared to the eight nerfed core model. Those extra nerfed cores...
The mystery continues...
I was using DP from the GPU to the display. To connect to the GT 730, I had to use HDMI. It worked fine. So then I put the 3090 back in and connected with the HDMI. Let heaven run for 45 minutes without issue. Now I'm thinking the display maybe?
I have a GT 710 at home I'm going to try tonight...perfect for troubleshooting stuff. It only uses MB power. If it still acts funny with that then I will be even more suspicious it isn't the PSU.
more learned...
Yanked the 3090 out and put in a 3070. Same problem.
PSU is a 1000 watt EVGA GQ...seems fishy a 1000watter cant handle a 3090 running minecraft without the sues shaders.
This is new as of last week...
Any sort of moderate load on my 3090 and it just turns the screen off and makes me need a system reboot. Last night minecraft forced a reboot. I also know it kicks me from the game as my son told me I had left.
What would cause this behavior???
About 20 years ago, I went through an IBP plant. We started on the kill floor and ended with packaged New York steaks. It was sad watching all those cows being killed...but at the end, I did crave a steak.
