    WTB: Radeon RX6700XT heatsink/fan unit (or complete dead 6700)

    Does anyone have a 6700xt that died and want to sell the heatsink from? I have one with a water block and want to get rid of water cooling, so I would like to buy your heatsink. I would buy a whole dead card for the right price (but it seems like these don't die!)

    all set for now, thanks everyone!

    I'm in need of 2-3x ~250gb 2.5" SATA SSDs and 2x ~500gb SSDs (could be NVMe or SATA(2.5" or M.2)) and 1x 1tb NVMe SSD. Let me know what you've got!

    WTB: Z68 or Z77 motherboard

    I need to test a few sandy bridge / ivy bridge CPUs so I'm hoping to find a Z68 or Z77 motherboard in the $30-40 range. Not picky about brand or form factor.

    Video card works as secondary, but not primary?

    I'm having a weird issue with an AMD HD7850. If I install it alone (tried in 5 systems with same result), the computer hangs at POST as if there were no video card installed. If I install it as a secondary card with a HD 6850 as the primary card, the system can use it. I can even switch to...

    I'm building a red-themed older AMD FX system and want a red (PCB or back plate) AMD video card to go with it. Something like a HD 7850 would be good. I'm hoping to be in the $30 range.

    WTB: AMD FX 8xxx CPU(s)

    I'm looking for one or two low end AMD FX 8xxx CPUs. The exact model isn't important as long as they are the 8 core variants (if you call them 8 core).

    WTB: $70 AM4 B450 / X470 (or newer hah!) motherboard

    I'm trying to build a Ryzen system for someone with a strict $350 budget, and the last thing that I need is a motherboard. There is $70 left in the budget (well, technically it's $69.26 left , but I'll cover the overage). I'm hoping to find a B450 or X470 board. It can be mATX or ATX.

    Zotac 1050ti works vertical but not horizontal

    OK, this is the weirdest issue that I've come across. I have a Zotac 1050ti ITX that works when the video card is vertical (and the motherboard is horizontal). But when the computer is put vertical and the card is heatsink side down, the computer does not see the card. Other cards work in the...

    WTB: Low profile DDR4, Gigabyte AB350M-D3H

    I need some low profile DDR4 (I think some manufacturers call it VLP). Not the Corsair LPX stuff or standard DDR4 without heatsinks as it is too tall. And it can't be ECC. I'm apparently very picky! Also need a Gigabyte AB350M-D3H or any microATX AM4 motherboard with a PCI slot.

    WTB: i7 3770k and Dell Optiplex GXpro

    I have a nice z77 chipset motherboard that is begging for a K series CPU. Someone must have a 3770k sitting around in a drawer somewhere! Sell it to me! Also looking for a Dell Optiplex GXpro. I was thinking about one of these that I sold oh so many years ago and would love to get my hands...

    Strange x99 taichi behavior (4f then off)

    I have an Asrock x99 Taichi with the POST code LED. The board begins POSTing running through different codes. When it hits 4f, it shuts off. I've reseated the CPU and tried different RAM, video card, and PSU to no avail. If I take the RAM out or put RAM in the wrong slots, I can get the...

    He offered me a i5 6400 via PM on March 3rd. He had good heat (http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=76090) so I payed by PP that day. He said that he would send out on the 5th. Haven't received item or confirmation. Got a message on the 11th that he was working weird hours. Reminded him a...

    FS: EVGA 1070 SC

    I just built myself a new system and decided that I needed a decent video card for it. But I'm having buyer's remorse and am kicking myself for spending so much on a video card.

    Is Hot Flashing still a thing?

    Long story short, a BIOS update failed and ASRock is not responsive for help. Back in the day, we could boot up a system, pull the BIOS chip, put in the bad one and flash it with the appropriate BIOS. It seems like UEFI might have killed that. Has anyone tried this recently, and what tools are...

    Macbook trackpad button. Spongy?

    I just bought a MacBook for my girlfriend and the trackpad button feels really tight and unresponsive... almost spongy. After using my MBP for years, am I just too used to its trackpad and the MacBook just like that or did I get a bad trackpad button?
