Some shots of my little Shuttle SB61G2 with a custom CPU/GPU loop. Why did I do this? Idk im crazy. IIRC it should have CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Prescott SL8K2 GPU: PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP 1gb DDR2 MOBO: Shuttle FB61/FB65V4.0 DISK: Some Corsair 120gb SATA SSD RAM: It should have...

My dell XPS420 "custom water loop" I did in like 2018. Yes there is a Peltier between the CPU and "waterblock". There were 2 radiators, one behind each of the OEM fans neatly tucked into the OEM fan mounts. I think the small one was an 80mm rad and the big one was a 120. Not sure what CPU I had...

Back when I was in highschool I got my A+, Net+, and Security+ CompTia certs thinking I would be working somewhere in the IT industry. Now I work in the shipping industry... I'm probably the most knowledgeable "tech" person at my facility aside from the some of the actual IT guys we have. My...

If this year's boxes suck, I probably won't buy them again. The first time I got them I actually got some things I wanted, but didn't want to spend the money on, and it was worth it. Last year i basically got 3 usb-c hubs which are kinda worthless imo.

Just ordered a $50, $25, and $10. The first year I bought these i was pretty happy with what i got. Last years sucked, probably because I ordered relatively late and $50s were sold out.

idk its always just been powers of 2 for stick sizes, "odd" sizes being not powers of 2.

On my z390 platform I ran a 128gb kit (4x32gb) which was XMP rated for DDR4 4400 at DDR4 4400 with a few voltage tweaks for around a year. over time the system actually did start to become unstable due to the memory probably from the insane voltages needed to run the kit. I ended up going...

Just wanted to share some of the build history I have with the Fractal Design Define Nano S. I absolutely love this case its compact yet has many build options and in some cases, more build options than other larger cases have... I originally bought this case to house hardware for server hosting...

What are your thoughts on the odd max RAM capacity of 192gb on the latest Intel and AMD desktop platforms? Is anybody running 4x48gb DDR5? What is the compatibility like? I've stayed away from DDR5 like I did when DDR4 came out to the consumer market, waiting for it to mature a bit before diving...

more compact than ATX, bigger than ITX. more expansion options on M-ATX over ITX in addition to more RAM slots.

Where are all the good Z790 Micro ATX motherboards? it seems the only good ones are Gigabyte's Z790M AORUS ELITE and the ASUS PRIME Z790M-PLUS. I use my main build both as a workstation and for gaming and it has progressed from a Standard ATX ASUS WS Pro Z390 loaded with a I-9900K 128gb of RAM...

Who uses a Microsoft account to log in to their Windows 10/11 machine, and why, or why not? I personally use a Microsoft account to log into all of my machines nowadays. I used to use a windows domain controller to handle account logins hosted in my homelab back when my servers were running...

I've moved a M.2 ssd with a windows 10 install between very different hardware builds. Only possible issue is activation, which just asked me if I upgraded or moved the hardware or something like that. I had the windows install logged in and tied to my microsoft account and it let me move the...

just till last month i ran a 3090 with 4 monitors hooked up plus one additional mini screen monitor thing hooked up to the iGPU on a 9900K. I did have some wierd issues initially where only 4 of the 5 displays would run with it just picking a random one to not run. I got it working fine after...

On the latest mainstream DDR5 desktop platforms like Intel 12/13th gen and Ryzen 7000, you are stuck with a max of 192gb across 4x48gb sticks. moving to an HEDT platform with Intel W790 gets you up to 2TB or 256gb with Intel x299 and AMD TRX40

I've been running a pretty maxed out Coffee Lake refresh build for a while now with a 128gb kit of Trident Z F4-4000C10Q-128GZTR, a ASUS WS Z390 Pro, various 9900K/F CPUs, and a EVGA 3090 Hybrid for the past 7 or so months, switching out the CPU 4 times now trying to get one with a better IMC...

I'm still running a bunch of Ivy/Sandy Bridge Xeons in my homelab. Currently running (x2) E5-2697 v2 and (x2) E5-2648L v2

I cant wait for the new FIEYPGA FE-2098 PEGPA edition

Yea I managed to get this one brand new off EBay for around $100 off MSRP which was a pretty good deal. I can't get a screen that's too big or else it wont fit on my VESA mounts. I've got a single pole holding up all 4 monitors lol. the thing was only rated to hold two but its holding up.

I have 4 monitors in total. Ive got two basic AOC 1080p TN screens stacked on top of each other just to the left of the main 1440p screen and some LG 1080p IPS display set up vertically on the far left. I think a high refresh rate 4K screen would have been nice to have but that would have been...

What's your new years resolution? Mine is 1440p. For the new year I've switched from a 28" Samsung "U28E590D" 4K 60hz display to an 27" ASUS "XG27AQM" 1440p 270hz monitor. I loved the 4k display for its size and pixel density which were great for productivity, but for gaming, sometimes it was...

I love these. I was too late to buy any of the 50$ ones last year. Just bought a 50 and a 20$ box, cant wait to see what I get.

Ordered x2 $20 boxes and x2 5$ boxes afew days ago, just got the package with a 480gig ssd, 4gb stick of DDR3 a Radeon 3650, thunderbolt to display port adapter, and a cheap Bluetooth speaker.

my main pc's boot disk. left is the original drive with an identical but refurbished model on the right. i ran the one on the left for about a year till i did a rebuild and added the refurb drive for a raid 0.

Somewhat related but, I managed to get afew more Radeon HD 3650 AGP's In addition to my HIS Radeon, I now have 2 more ddr2 cards with 1GB and 512MB. The 1GB card is missing a heatsink fan but this is not a problem as I have future plans for it.

Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz (this was in some e-machines desktop, I think I still have this chip but I would need to look for it) Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz (Dell Dimension 4200i, chip is gone but I still have the original Mobo from it) AMD Athlon II 2.4GHz (this was in some HP laptop, dont remember much...

Memory limitations are imposed by the memory controller which is not necessarily always the CPU. Intel started using CPU integrated memory controllers with Nehalem, so in this case memory limitations are imposed per CPU. Any architectures prior to Nehalem use memory controllers on the chipset...

I also managed to get hold of a PCTA-01 from TAGG in Austria. On HWBot he's got a submission for a 3ghz Prescott running on a P45 board and DDR3. The only 775 Boards I have are either EVGA nForce 780i SLI using DDR2 or a pretty beat up ASUS Striker II Extreme using 790i and DDR3. Both boards...

I got the 8KNXP motherboard but it seems to be faulty. It posts and everything, updated it to the latest bios, but it doesn't seem to pick up any more than 1.5 gig of RAM. If I clear CMOS on first post it will pick up a maximum of 3.5GB of ram but if I restart it it falls back to 1.5 after a few...

I am pretty sure its more of a chipset limitation rather then a bios limitation both 478 and 775 boards, at least the earlier 775 boards, share a lot of the same chipsets. as for heatsink mounting, I have zip-ties. Here's a few other forums where people have tested or talked about these things...

I am pretty sure you can put Broadwell based Xeon v4 CPUs into this thing which means top chip is the 22 core beast E5-2699v4's. if you are looking for more specific single threaded performance you are going to want either a E5-1680v4 (8c16t @3.4Ghz 4.0Ghz Turbo 140watt) or the E5-2689v4 (10c20t...

I just made another thread about another option to getting past the 4GB limit here https://hardforum.com/threads/the-socket-478-to-775-cpu-transfer-card.2006084/ as for the 3850, I got it to work just fine on a 775 board a few months back but have gotten nothing out of any of my 478 boards. It...

Something that has been on my mind for a while now is the existence of the 478 to 775 transfer card. It's basically a little adapter that allows a 478 CPU to be installed into socket 775. They look like this. If you do a little digging you can find some little threads and posts about people...

Here's a little update on the SL7Q8. I've recently gotten hold of a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP which, if you probably don't know, has 6 RAM slots on it. I do plan on testing the SL7Q8 out on the 8KNXP with all 6 slots populated with 1GB sticks of RAM just to see what happens but I don't expect much out...

I have two LG G6 logic boards that came from a phone with a cracked display and annother from water damage. I bought a new oldstock G6 display and the board with water damage works fine but the other board that came from a cracked screen Does not have working touch. I am trying to get the board...

I don't think they shipped boxed versions of the SL7Q8. It's a custom part by IBM.

Here's some pictures of the HIS Radeon 3850 AGP. Its in pretty much perfect condition

The EBay listing that I bought this case from had a full build in it with some really wonky hardware in it. There was a ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2, which is a 775 board that has both DDR1 and DDR2 slots on it, and on top of that it has both AGP and PCI-E. The machine also had a C2D E8400, 2GB DDR1...

Does anyone know of any rack-able chassis that you could fit a 240mm or 280mm AiO radiator? That is really the only requirement that I have, that it be able to mount at minimum a 240mm radiator.

I pulled the cpu from an IBM eServer xSeries 306 8836-5SU that I bought from EBay a few months ago. CPUZ reported that the RAM modules were ECC, I don't know anything about the machine actually using the ECC functionality though. I'll do more testing with it.
