    M.2 mounting options? Heat under GPU? Heatsinks?

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

    M.2 mounting options? Heat under GPU? Heatsinks?

    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...

    M.2 mounting options? Heat under GPU? Heatsinks?

    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.

    M.2 mounting options? Heat under GPU? Heatsinks?

    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...

    your windows 11 experience. What you hate, what you love.

    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...

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    Rebuilding old systems, gpu compatibility? Nforce4 (socket939) and x58

    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...

    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.

    Rebuilding old systems, gpu compatibility? Nforce4 (socket939) and x58

    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...

    Rebuilding old systems, gpu compatibility? Nforce4 (socket939) and x58

    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...

    So, title says, im pulling my 939 system out of the closet and trying to find a way to make it work. I've also gotten. My hands on a MSI x58m. I'd love to max out the 939 system and run older games on it. But I'm pretty sure there's a point where new GPUs aren't comaptible. I just don't know...

    WTB: 1155 ITX board with so-dimm slots.

    Hey guys, I've got some extra parts laying around and want to build some mini PCs. Seems like people are hard scalping old boards on ebay, which is a damn shame. So like it says, I'm looking for a 1155 board that takes so-dimms. I know Zotac made some but IDK if there any intel or ASrockrack...

    Is overclocking FINALLY dead?

    "overclocking" for me was always about efficiency. I've built a LOT of systems over the years. I always tune them for heat/speed/noise instead of raw speed. Undervolting is my favorite thing. But I also want to lock clocks. Despite building a lot of new systems, my personal system is still a...

    Looking for some good, small, MATX options.

    MATX really needs more love, that's for sure... or.. ITX needs the love it used to get lol. I don't want a huge cube... Biggest I'd want is just wide enough to maybe fit a 240mm rad in the front.. the node 804 is SO much bigger than the 304 I have now (from my prospective on things) It's like...

    Looking for some good, small, MATX options.

    so, with zen 3 out and me still beating on a 4790k... It's time for me to upgrade. That said, I'm no fan of the current ITX boards for zen.. I don't really like the z490 boards all that much either but... There are a few I could live with for different reasons. I miss the z87-97 days where...

    Custom Water Block?

    IMO, it wouldn't change much. Instead of the water coming in the side of the block and being forced above and through the grid (think EK blocks) the water could be pushed right down over the grid like a CPU block. The channels and fins could easily be made a little deeper or channeled into the...

    Custom Water Block?

    Shouldn't be too much though really. The idea would be setting the gpu block up as a sort of distro block with input and output at the power side of the card. Just use the dead space on the power end of the block for a little res and/or input/output area. Also, I want to mount it upside down...
