    Intel 670p NVME $46, 2tb $79 @ Newegg

    Amazon has a wide variety starting around $5. Is it REALLY necessary? I dunno. I don't use one on my 970 evo

    Intel 670p NVME $46, 2tb $79 @ Newegg

    I mean that's what I intended it for. It doesn't come with a heatsink but I would just used the one that came with my mobo. Since I ended up using a USB enclosure, the enclosure is basically the heatsink. And it does get warm.

    Gamers Nexus calls out anti-consumer MBO practices

    His rant was pretty funny and spot on. All about the cha-ching.

    Intel 670p NVME $46, 2tb $79 @ Newegg

    The main complaints I saw on here were about endurance / lifetime of the QLC, and write performance. If you're mostly doing read work (perfect for console games) like vm images etc, not necessarily running VMs off it, which would be constantly reading and writing? For $79 I say give it a shot

    Intel 670p NVME $46, 2tb $79 @ Newegg

    So I meant to use this as a steam/game drive on my PC rebuild... but stuff happened and money went to home repairs, so that's not gonna happen any time soon. I was bored today and decided to put this 2tb 670p into my nvme-usb (o r i c o) enclosure... and slapped it on the PS5. I've been...

    [Epic] Weekly freebies: Chess Ultra and World of Warships — Starter Pack: Ishizuchi

    Hmm I thought this was something like Autochess but is different, will check it out. I always claim the free weekly games no matter what anyway. Some day when I retire I *might* play this stuff......... but for now, on to replaying 15 year old XCOM 2! :jimlad:

    Worst CPU's of all time?

    I had a SLC, roommate had the DLC. They both sucked, but they were stupid cheap. Back when a DX2-66 ran like $2-300, the DLC/SLC chips were like $30. And they ran on old 386 boards. Actually now that I think about it, the SLC I had was soldered to the board. You could play Doom on them, but...

    XCOM 2 collection - PC/Steam $7 @ Green Man Gaming

    Aw man.... it didn't keep my saves, I guess when I downloaded the new package it reset everything. So I can't get to the Chosen stuff without completing the main campaign again. *shakes fist at the sky*

    XCOM 2 collection - PC/Steam $7 @ Green Man Gaming

    100? Wow! And yeah I don't care about multi. What was funny is when I first fired it up, it was reporting around 800fps... yeah it defaults to 720 low, but still made me feel giddy for a minute. 4k medium on 1080ti was still at 100... takes a nose dive on 4k maximum. But it's a turn based...

    GPU upgrade for my Dell Precision T3610 causes reboots

    Clean windows install on the new gpu? Sometimes old drivers play havoc with newer GPUs, and not all "clean" installs get it done. Just a thought.

    Boot drive weirdness ... please advise.

    Remove the "old" drive and make sure pc boots properly and recognized. Then re-add. Better, if you have a m.2 usb adapter, use that and kill off the old partitions. Don't recreate them, then reinstall. It should show up as a new device in disk mgr.

    PNY 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive $8.95 @ Amazon

    These are ok for backup drives I guess but OMG they are so slow. In fact most of my PNY ones are. Still.... $9.... OTOH think of the infinite amount of music you could put on one of these and use it in your car. I mean only have a 16gb stick in my car and it holds like 100 albums

    Best CPU's of all time?

    So many.... so little time I think what is most interesting though is all the older ones I was going to list required tricks and overclocking.... slockets, pencil mods, voltage mods, etc etc. Plus endless jumper/BIOS tweaking. Nowadays the CPUs overclock themselves. We don't have to do much...
