I got a p8p67 evo with a i5 2500k, 8GB ddr3-1600 Kingston HyperX. Depending on zip code, $150 shipped with original mobo box.
2500k is overclockable to 5ghz with excellent cooling. PM if interested.

Combo for $2041 + tax. This is only $150 less than ebay scalper prices. What I do? lol.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I just got off the phone with BestBuy and they said I need to go to the store. I'm just worried they'll only offer a refund. Plan B is RMA.
Good question. I'm no electronic engineer, however, I've read somewhere that PSU's can become less efficient over time. It was manufactured by a Seasonic, however, it was a bronze version. So it's possible I started with less wiggle room for wear and tear. (I.E. countless hours of FFXI and WoW...
Also, I can't get into BIOS on the motherboard anymore. I haven't finish troubleshooting that yet. This just happened last night and I'm now at work (with 5 hours of sleep). I tried resetting the CMOS and flashing the BIOS via USB. The computer boots into Windows without issue with the new psu...
Feeling pretty bummed about last night, so I started a new thread and covered it more in detail.

- OP patiently builds a new computer at non-scalper prices.
- OP scores a msrp RTX 3080 from Best Buy.
- OP still needed a PSU at non-inflated price, but was eager and decided to use 10yr old PSU
- OP builds system and sets powerlimit to 75% on rtx 3080, measuring 230 watts at load.

Yeah. I'm sure it's the memory module. I replaced my psu with a Seagate 850w platinum px-850 and plugged in my gtx 1080ti.
I have a msi board with the easy debug lights. I tried booting with that module by itself in slot two and it won't boot, dram error light. I tried the other slots and...
Trust me. It's not worth the risk. I just built a new system with my 10 year old psu. Ran a benchmark, heard a pop, computer shut down, then I smelled smoke.
I fried my gtx 3080 and one of my ram sticks. Still running test to see if anything else is damaged.
Thank you! I'll look into (litecoin fees + exchange fees + transfer fees) vs (ETH fees + transfer fees).
Thank you, I'll look into 2miners and see if that'll benefit me. Can I use AwesomeMiner(PhoenixMiner) to mine directly to my wallet, avoiding MPH and coinbase all together?
You nailed all...
Hi everybody!
After watching a handful of youtube videos and reading online guides, I'm started mining with my gaming rig. However, I'm still a little confused with the auto-exchange and payout. Also, I'm also open to any tips from the veterans!!

1x GTX 1080ti Founders Edition (+200...
Lol, you're brave. Unfortunately, I already tried and the AM3 bracket doesn't match my b550 board.
I'll try, definitely worth a shot. I've heard good things about their support.
So..... I finally got all my parts for my new setup, however, I just realized my h80i v2 didn't come with an AM4 bracket :(. It's the first edition.
Corsair is out of stock and I'm trying to avoid a 3rd party bracket. Can someone hook a brother up? Zip code 91762.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the world of NAS and I just picked up my first NAS (Synology DS218J) on black friday, along with two 8TB hard drives. Yay!
I want to run RAID1 for home backup; family pictures, videos and documents. And be able to access it through my windows computer and android cell...
