Need to buy a good hsf for am4 (Ryzen 2600) looking for something 6+ pipes tower or downdraft is fine. Needs not to be one of the direct contact models with the exposed heat pipes on bottom. Lapped or not is fine. Had planned on using my thermalright u120 but they want to rape me on the mount...

Info on ssd?

According to Stephan previously from The Verge, aren't you supposed to smear it into the pins, and then put a toothpaste size patty on top of the cpu? on a more serious note, I typically heat the syringe in hot water prior to application and couple it with another, move it back and forth...

where was this wed when i bought a 2600 from newegg, lol. bump for a killer deal

the last rig i tore down (sold to chiefjoe) was an i5-2600k that i built right when they launched, can't remember the day, i replaced the tim once back around 2013-2014 and when i took it down, it was still moist and tacky, but had obviously wicked from center to sides, probably due to the curve...

yea was thrown off by the way usb done things for a while. you know what i meant tho.

wasn't talking about pcie 4, im reffering to pcie 3.0 gen 4. b450 has pcie 3.0 gen 3, x570 bumps to pcie 3.0 gen 4. there were talks of enabling gen4 on b450 but amd blocked it from what ive read. atm there aren't really that many gpus that gain from it, but nvme drives do. IMO if i were to...

I also converted a closet to fit a slide out 42u rack (i use rails on all of them since i can't easily get to the back of it. i installed this on the roof used a short run of 6" stove pipe to go from roof to the ceiling and put in a standard 6" ceiling duct for hvac, and then i put this inline...

I've been using artic silver 5 for years. Finally my tube ran out and its time to get more, stick with as5 or go with something different? was looking at the noctua stuff, gelid, and others. Conductivity isn't a big deal, i DO NOT wanna go with liquid metal, prefer a standard paste type TIM...

even if they did, why would you want to. b450 isn't going to support pcie 3 gen 4, and that is one of the big pluses for the 3xxx series and up. at first it was said that b450 may get bios update to allow it on some models, but then amd said it wasn't gonna happen on b450 im looking forward to...

Originally was only looking at the non-x models, but now that the price has really dropped I may go for the X, as far as the hsf is concerned, i've never used an oem heatsink for my desktops and probably never will. I'll stick to my trusty towers and downdrafts. as soon as i can source a solid...

modi123 have you updated the firmware to do mesh bed leveling? i took the touch probe off my mini-cnc and put it on my prusa and mesh leveled the bed and boy did it make a difference, i was kinda amazed. the bltouch probes work pretty good too, just need to disassemble and tighten them up a bit imo

i have bought the "oem" keys from the thread here before and never had any issues, i see them on newegg sometimes for 8 and they offer to send you a busted drive for 500 shipping if you want it (kinda shady) but its an oem key too, at least they mail you the sticker thing. but as far as the...

myself i would have preffered a bit more room between the board and the back panel for that size of a case. and maybe a horizontal itx tray option for the top. i've always wanted to put a low power mini-itx, or sbc in a system for monitoring and performance, maybe even link it to a small touch...

i've been looking at something similar to that. are there any internal splitters that can do 10gb/s ? i haven't found any reasonable yet. took forever for me to decide on my board as well, was wanting a type-c 10gb port but it didn't work out that way if i need to add a pcie card to do it i...

i was thinking the same thing. my editing rig has twin xeon's so this is more or less just my go to desk pc, will be used for web and stuff, minor coding, monitoring servers, nothing really user intensive, the only games i really play are LoL and WoW and they don't use much. Will be upgrading my...

Microcenter has the 2700x for 139, seen some for 119 open box w/ warranty tried forever to find someone close to one to pick one up for me

Re-building my daily driver desktop, will only be used for productivity apps, web, light coding, terminal, some very light video encoding (most of that is done on other rigs/servers) In all seriousness the 5/2600 would be sufficient, would there be any real advantage other than bragging to use...

yea the big change for the 3 series and x570 is the pcie gen 4 which really bumps bandwith, 4xxx will use same and from what ive read x570 will support the 4xxx chips. kinda waiting on the b550 or w/e its going to be

Probably going to end up going with Noctua or BeQuiet, but there is something to be said for the Ultra 120 extreme that i have, its a 6pipe cooler and tbh it hasn't failed me, been using it since my core2quad q6600, it survived that, to my i7-920, then to the i5-2500k, and i7-2600k, its been...

I've been searching for a thermalright venomous x btk ii kit that has the pressure screw on the crossbar. it used to be called the "pressure vault system" i have the bracket for 1155, 1366, 775 but now need one for am4 and no one has them in stock, even the cheaper one. I emailed thermalright...

also curious about this, there are several selling them and was going to get a few. i've seen nothing but good things tho

All were working when pulled, have not been re-tested. Cleaning out my bins to gain funds for new build. Some of this old stuff has gotten hard to find/expensive. I’m putting it cheap here, might have something you need to spruce up an old rig. All prices include shipping via USPS Priority Mail...

gonna snatch some up, its just for my desktop daily/driver so no oc or anything crazy on that one. Thanks for the link!!

i have a metal one that may work for you. i'll dig it out and send pics, i may even have the plastic ones but i think the lever on mine is blue and not green if that matters.

video cap card, usb card

so far the devices that seem to have the most issue are 2014 and earlier macbook airs, 2013 earlier pro's. and any unit with less than 8gb ram. If it still has 4gb ram i would use high sierra or mojave instead just for performance reasons. i've upgraded 100's since release and i wish they would...

i have been eye-balling the ender as well. came close to pulling the trigger a few times. i would mostly use it to print stuff for my mini-quads and rc planes/wings. probably other things as well have you tried any printing with TPU yet? no one around me has a printer, so it'll be a fun...

In all my research in the b450 v x470 came down to a few things (x570 if ur going with the new chips) -Not going SLI so both choices are valid -Main difference is how they divide up the pcie lanes when it comes to the nvme sockets and the pcie slots -worst of all choices is the asus prime...

I was in the same boat during the planning phase of my build. I see you say 'mild-gaiming' which is about the same as me. Mine will be my daily driver desktop and will need to be solid. I decided to just pick up a used r5 2600 as the extra cores didn't really make that much diff in standard...

i can see me with one of these and some tempered glass panels. maybe even put a beveled edge mirror on the indside of the back panel for a nice reflection through the side .
