Probably the Geforce 256 for me. Was my 3rd ever gpu purchase, after a Diamond Stealth II (yes, one of those intel cards) and then a Diamond Viper v550. The viper died for some reason, so I was at the local computer shop, and the guy was selling a used creative labs geforce 256 on comission for...

Oh yeah, killed a couple tbird athlons myself, one b/c the fan that came on the stock HSF went out like a day after I put it all together. New retail boxed CPU. Theres no mistaking the smell from flaming silicon, that's for sure. Kinda killed a P3 733 chip from overclocking. The L2 cache like...

The other caveat of this "bandage fix" is that a normally repairable item that was fixable is no longer, and the repeated heating degrades otherwise good components. And for one claim that reflowing it a 2nd time made it work longer than the first would be followed by 90 others that said that...

Yep. It's basically just a bandage solution and not a fix. If you're lucky and your hardware lasts a long time, that's great. Most will not see any lengthy workmanship from this, and if you were to take that laptop and do it again, the next time, it would probably work only for a month or...

And varying between the lower temps and temps hot enough to melt the solder didn't change these results. Some of them would last a year, some would only last a month. Reballing the latter cards with lead based solder rarely did anything to change this which leads me to believe that it may be...

I've found that most of the time it isn't the solder, but possibly the interconnects of the flip chip modules because I've heated a few cards a few times well under the temp needed to melt the lead free solder and those cards would usually work again for a time.

I'm more worried about finding something with a DC connector that will fit. Everything I have is either too big or too small.

I'm not posting to seek a resolution from eBay, but I need help / ideas on finding a cheap adapter that will work with this. Seller basically said that it was included, but wasn't included on arrival. Seller says he can't find it and offers a "$15 credit towards future purchases from his store*...

Theres a guy that's waiting for the MSQ right now, well, he was also on early this morning about 3am....and he has stood right in the same spot until right now, still trying to get the MSQ to load, because you need that to advance in the game in general. Can't get to the cool areas until you...

oh but that MSQ is a bottleneck that is purposly imposed by SE. This was stated in one of the updates from them. Like they knew, and this is their resolution.

This game is broken right now, severely broken....

If any of yall are on Hyperion and are going to get into SB, send me a PM. Especially anyone who has been outta the loop and are looking for a bunch to join up with, as we've a very large FC, probably the most active on the server, with players at all levels doing content. This game has been...

Ok, if you were selling this system to me, why would I buy that system when I can get a kaby lake i5 system with a 1060 in it for $800 What is so special about this older setup? I dont buy things from people who tell me they need the money and charge me double value. Other people ... on eBay...
