I searched for alot of keys I need but only found games.

Yeah if you know someone with amazon - looks like the USB flavor are 1x <$5, 3x pack <$8. Same cheapo model on aliexpress is <$3 free shipping (if you want to wait forever) or if you want to buy a 200 pack for $177 shipped they are .88.5 each (88.5 sents) :p

YGPM!

According to page 2 of this spec sheet there is 4GB soldierd to the MB and one open SO-DIMM slot. (DDR4-2666) https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/IdeaPad/IdeaPad_3_17IIL05/IdeaPad_3_17IIL05_Spec.PDF Also says max RAM is 12GB, ie placing an 8GB DIMM in the open slot. Is there actually any...

transaction pending, thanks everyone.

looking for a cheapo gen 7 or 8 (dell or HP or whatever) with cpu that works that has the power for an RX580. I have lots of ram. looking to spend in the ~$100 range if possible. (of course in addition to shipping) I do have some spare cpus (i5 7500, i7 8700 etc if I have to plop one in) does...

Yeah, I can do that. A little more fancy / price than I need on the mb but its fair, and thats also a good fair price for the ram. I have quite a bit of spare of ram but if yours happens to be tried and tru with said mb all the better. heat: https://www.heatware.com/u/76430/to (all [H] lol)...

Looking for something working, semi basic for a spare i7 8700 I have. Would def prefer w/ backplate. Thanks!

Makes sense, thanks!

Yeah they do, but Im trying to be "cheap" and I dont want to wait for china. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144731644574 10x heatsinks for $12.63. Do I need to be this cheap? Naw. Do I need to buy ugly ass gen7/8 barebone midtower dells/HPs and load them up with stuff I dig out of ewaste? Or get...

What thickness of silicone thermal pads would one recommend? 1.5mm? 2? 3? Also, when applying, do you guys take the labels/stickers off of the drives for better contact? If so, does that void the warranty? Thanks!

I know the egg is evil, but the 2TB 670p is down to $76 for the rest of today: https://www.newegg.com/intel-2tb-670p-series/p/N82E16820167473 Must... resist...

This is lookin pretty good - 1328 core (vs 1342 max boost stock) and mem of 3367 (vs stock 3305) at 80% power. Not bad for a POS 290 watt proprietary Dell PSU (Precision 3620 MT) with only a 4 pin and 6 pin connector going to the MB. Im sure it also helps that Im running it with an i5-7500T...

Okay... so Im guessing voltage is just that, and "power" is wattage (volts x amps) as in related to TDP etc... But what is throwing me off is this is under the "fan" section? Am I looking at the right power limit slider? What would the power limit have to do with the fan?:

I have a GTX 950 in a project box and Id like to undervolt it. Specifically - EVGA GeForce GTX 950 SC GAMING - Part Number: 02G-P4-2951-KR In MSI Afterburner I have unlocked voltage control (can increase it only) but there is no option for the "curve editor" After a few searches apparently...

I guess Im not really * that * cheap, I mean, I pay comcast for gigabit and have iphone 14s n tons of computers n junk, maybe just "like to be cheap when I can" Sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked and the best. As you mentioned go thu the comcast - I could get a cheap switch for...

Need a simple reliable (and cheap) router to get comcast gigabit speeds. I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk R740 AC2600 home router. I know, not the best router (never really been a netgear fan myself) but I got it as a refurb stupid cheap a year or 2 ago for something like $20 or $30. It...

Coo thanks!

I ran into an older system and was wondering if this board could run/boot the newer M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4x4 drives H370M DS3H (rev. 1.0) https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/H370M-DS3H-rev-10#kf H370 Express Chipset Dual M.2 with PCIe Gen3 X4/X2 & SATA interface: 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3...

Yeah pretty funny mixing ghetto with premium :ROFLMAO:

Well, its done!: Used the following stuff: Thanks Pikachu! (I dont play pokemon, but the kids have buckets of cards) First step: After trimming card fit perfectly between pcb and heatsink: And then a crease for another card part to also slip in between and finish the shroud: Finished...

So the sata to 4 pin adapter came in and I hooked up the fan. GINORMOUS difference idle, from 55o ish to like 25o ish. Full load went from 90o ish to 70o ish. I really like how this nautica fan came with not just 1 but two levels of rpm lowering (silenting) adapters. Very cool. (pun...

Okay I got the NF-A4x20, its adorable! Question: should I mount it flush like this: Or leave a gap and shroud it like motqalden suggested? Thanks!

Thank you all for the great ideas! I just ordered these, will be here tomorrow: So I guess I will see how quiet/loud it is at stock. I am a bit of a quiet computer snob. The NA-FC1 looks really nice but its like $25 and thats adding up to this cooling solution costing more than the card it...

Okay thanks those are some great ideas - tho Im not sure I follow 100%. Not sure why I would need the fan controller or the 4pin fan hub. However I actually happen to have spare 4pin fan hubs on hand. I REALLY like that fan (NF-A4x20) and its only 15$ on Amazon, that fan looks perfect. Also I...

So I have a Dell optiplex 3060 SFF. I managed to get a GTX 750ti low profile in it but I had to rip the fans off to get it to fit - and it just barely does! Anyway as one can imagine it gets really hot. I was thinking I could cool it from the rear blowing thu the heatsink. There are a few...

I loaded up my cart and then saw the shipping and I was like "bye felicia!" RIP frozencpu :(

yes yes... also Dell Vostro 3670 MT HP ProDesk 400 G4 Dell Optiplex 7060 Working on the list THANK YOU everyone for the feedback/help!

No, I WISH - kills me to see all of those Microcenter deals posted everywhere. Used to have a (well two!) Frys near by before... well ya know. bought countless MB/CPU combos from them, even forgot about some of them and dug them up years later! lol.

Possibly, was hoping to finish these projects before 2024 tho...

I have handful (3) of i7-8700 SR3QS CPUs just collecting dust. Calling all super smart budgeters - what is the cheapest barebones I could seek out to house these in? A Dell or HP on ebay? (the limited PSUs make me cringe) something else? Thanks for reading / help.

Okay fair enuff (y)

Ha, close enuff right :)

Been in similar situations the only problems I ran into was virtual switches attached to physical nics getting all retarded till re-doing them all.

Or more likely later, as that was an ATI card ;)

As long as its not that anime crap

(not sodimms) Dont really care about the speed/timings as long as its stable. Would entertain 4GB sticks if the price was right but prefer 8's (who wouldnt) Looking to bypass fleabay and Mr. Bezos. Thanks [H] crew.

PM if possible. Thanks!
