I am looking for some retro handheld as gifts for Christmas that can (attempt) to play up through Dreamcast games. I am currently considering something like the POWKIDDY RGB30 or ANBERNIC RG353VS. Any others you would recommend? Your thoughts? Thanks ...

This was a thoughtful thing to do. Perhaps a collector could use them.

You make many assumptions and all of them are incorrect. I have been PC gaming for decades and I have been buying/building for 30 years. My point of this post was that just 1-2 years ago new cards were insanely expensive while used cards were just as bad. These days one can pick up a capable...

Remember those ridiculous prices being asked for new/used GPUs just a year ago due to crypto miners and supply chain problems? Every time I see a killer deal on a new or used GPU I remember that that card was two-or-three times more expensive just a year or so ago. I game but not extensively...

So I just replaced one boot drive with a new one. The original boot drive (drive #1) was a Samsung 250 GB. I replaced it with a 500 GB WD Black NVMe (drive #2). My intent was for #2 to become my new BD while #1 would become a gaming SSD. I used AOMEI Partition Magic to clone #1 to #2...

That may have been a 2280 but no, I need either 2242 or 2260. Changed the link to be clearer. Thank you ...

I am looking for an old SSD in an attempt to try to resurrect a rather old, now nearly worthless device. I am hoping that a member here might have one or more of these drives in an old parts bin or junk drawer. The specs on the SSD include: Same/compatible with the Sandisk SD65P1M drive, m.2...

Please provide a shipped price via PM. Thank you!

Just in case I might be interested ... please PM me a price. Thank you ...

Thank you but no, I was looking for a Surface Pro Windows tablet.

Thank you! I will check it out!

Hello, I am looking to purchase a MS Surface Pro as a gift. I have stumbled across a few local deals but HardForums has always been a reliable source for used equipment, I thought I would give it a shot. After some research, I am focusing on/prefer something like a Surface Pro 7 but please...

The new (500 GB) drive is now C. The old boot is (for whatever reason) been renamed drive I. This was a Windows 10 migration. Thanks ...

So I just replaced/migraded one boot drive with a new one. The original boot drive (drive #1) was a Samsung 250 GB. I replaced it with a 500 GB WD Black NVMe (drive #2). My intent was for #2 to become my new BD while #1 would become a new gaming SSD. I used AOMEI Partition Magic to clone #1 to...

I am currently looking to upgrade two (2) systems from SATA SSDs to M.s NVMe drives. I do not need top-of-the-line drives nor the cheapest. I am looking for recommendations for a "best value" drive with a balance of good performance and an affordable/reasonable price. I do not mind going with...

Thank you for your reply. We have figured it out. Unfortunately, this version of iPad Mini does not support the app that he wants to install because Apple stopped supporting iOS upgrades to it. Oh well. Thanks again! Locking this up ...

I am in the process of building an AM4 system for a buddy of mine and just discovered that his current case will not support a full-sized ATX MB, so now I am case shopping. I've checked out Amazon and was surprised to find a few (apparently) nice lower-end cases for sale in the $50 range. They...

The iPad had been wiped and a factory reset had been done prior to this happening. Does this help?

So the backstory is I gave my iPad Mini to my son a few months ago. He put it aside and forgot about it. Fast forward to this week and he is trying to actually use the mini for some online training for work. Unfortunately, while he has an Apple ID, he forgot his password. BTW, this is the...

Hello all. I am considering a gift build for a friend who needs a PC upgrade. I am testing the waters to see if anyone has an AM4 MB (ATX) and possibly an included CPU and memory for sale on the cheaper side. Perhaps you recently upgraded and are looking to dispose of your old parts? Please...

I recently purchased a Moto G Stylus (locked to MetroPCS). Was wondering if anyone knew of a service/method to get the phone unlocked? Thank you ...

I currently have a 3060 Ti and while fast, it really heats up my gaming room! The 6600 XT is slightly less capable (about 20% lower) than the 3060 Ti. I am going to focus on the 6600 XT, especially with BF right around the corner. Thanks!

Thanks to all who contributed to my quest. After reading each post I may have to refocus to the 6600 or 2060 ...

I am trying to help a friend upgrade their system piece by piece. He is VERY price sensitive because he has little (I am helping him a bit). I figure the best bang for the buck would be to upgrade his video card which is currently a GTX 950. My friend is a light to moderate gamer and...

You Mentioned that you got a few years out of the key. Move along and buy another at another steep discount. You got your money’s worth out of that key.

OP, this happens all the time to resellers on ebay, etc. I see resellers complaining on the forums (including FB) that they are held hostage to the USPS. Unless the seller gets a receipt, they have no way of proving that it has even been shipped. Yes, the seller should have gotten a receipt...

Following this WTB thread with great interest. Used 1060s (both 3/6 GB) are currently selling from $175 to over $300. Interested to see what $300 can buy these days ...

Thank you!

I would appreciate any assistance (links) that you have found useful in undervolting a 5XXX series CPU. I am attempting to keep the chip as cool as possible and to minimize the chip having to throttle itself. Thank you ...

My idle temps for the CPU and GPU in the Fractal Define R5 with two (2) case fans are at about 52C each. It is only when I run just about any game (even a simple one) that the temps go up (mid 70s C) and the air under my desk becomes noticeably hot. I was running a 1660 Ti and never noticed...

I just completed my latest build, including a Gigabyte B550 MB, 5600X (stock cooler), and an eVGA 3060 Ti video card, and a Corsair 750W PS all mounted within a Fractal Define R5 case. The rig that was replaced included a very old MB, a 3770K, and a 1660 Ti video card. It never gave me any...

Thank you for the wonderful replies so far. Sorry I did not provide more specifics. I am using a 5600X and am hoping to use 32 GB of DDR4 3600, or perhaps 3200 CL16 with faster timings.

Backstory: I am building my first system in 5 years. I am a fanboy on neither OEM so this time I decided to go with a Ryzen build. I have purchased a Gigabyte Aorus Pro AC MB (B550), a new power supply (Corsair), and just received my new processor. I plan to use a 3060 Ti that my son...

OP, FWIW, your "buyer" may be everything that you think he is ... but you didn't have to put yourself through this. I almost exclusively buy here so if I want something, I mean seriously want something, I act like I it and pay for it as quickly as possible. I show the buyer the same common...

Did you find it here?: Custom90s FS thread I appreciate the advice ... I've already been in contact with him.

Thank you!

Could anyone recommend a (very) good B550 or X570 AM4 motherboard ... perhaps one they used in a personal build? Experience is the greatest teacher! Thank you!

Thank you all for your responses. I've pretty much decided to go with the 5600X. The CPU is almost 4X faster than my current CPU, which does everything I want it to well. What is tipping the balance for me is the efficiency of the chips (max TDP of 65W versus 150W). A cooler case is a happy...

I build a new PC to game every 5-10 years. Knowing that my PC (3770K w/1660Ti) was getting a little long-in-the-tooth, my very gracious son sent me a new EVGA 3060Ti for Christmas. We talked, and decided that either an AMD 5600x or the new Intel 12600K would be the best for me. Both have...

Battery degradation is one of the major issues facing the widespread adoption of EVs. The Nissan Leaf is a prime example of the problems that face owners when purchasing these vehicles. The batteries in these vehicles are not cooled so they degrade quickly. Until someone solves this problem...
