  1. You may want to just purchase used. I do it all the time and the discounts are steep and the items usually last about as long as you can expect.
  2. Hey guys- Currently have a 5900x, ASUS TUF Gaming x570 wifi, and 2 sticks of F4-3600C16-16GVKC ram (gskill ripjaw v 16gb a stick). I can't find another 2 sticks of this ram to give me 64gb in total. Do I ... 1) Use another 2 sticks from some almost-the-same ram? These seem to be a revision of my sticks of RAM with the same timings, power, etc: F4-3600C16D-16GVKC. I'd have 4x 16gb ... would it be difficult to run them @ 3600? 2) Get 2 sets of the newly revised ram? 3) Find an equivalent 64gb pair? If anyone has some recommendations on any of these, let me know!
  3. yeah! My research has brought nil, too. It’s like an error message with an “okay” button only.
  4. Hi everyone- im using a 1800x/Taichi x470 as a truenas server. I only have 16gb of ram in it… but even if I’m using it as a normal computer after 12-16 hours I get an error code 90 on the bios readout. Any thoughts? It isn’t on boot so I’m stumped!
  5. To this day I still don't know the proper clearances to change out the terrible foam they used. I keep perusing the EVGA forums and I can never get an exact answer. I have two 85x45x1.5mm and one 85x45x0.5mm thermalpads (12.8w/mk) -- any idea which thickness goes where? The closest thing I've found is this, but doesn't say which thickness is for what area:
  6. There is no /thermal/ degradation it seems - just the discoloration. I've confirmed on like 8 threads now
  7. Ahhh! I knew my memory wasn't failing me -that- bad haha. Thanks guys!
  8. You can just learn soldering.... lol. I watch a guy on youtube who takes old ps1-4s, handhelds like gameboys etc and completely repairs them. Once you learn how to do it properly its not that big of a deal and will save you a bunch of cash
  9. I think I'm misremembering but I can't find any info either way on this -- can I apply this to any CPU/Cooler? I recall something about it eating metal or some random weird issue ... but perhaps that was only on specific watercoolers? I was thinking of getting a Noctua D15 or similar and realized I used up the last of my AS5 about a year ago. Thanks in advance!
  10. Couldn't snipe it and forum was down - forgot to follow up. I still haven't found anything "reasonably" priced. I'm honestly thinking of just building my own out of spare materials at this point.
  11. Dell S2721DGF - IPS / 144hz / gsync (not on your list) VIOTEK GNV27DB - Decent. I never had a viotek monitor before so I don't know about their quality tbh. Viotek GFI27DBXA - seems better than the DB. has gsync compat AOC CQ27G2 - also decent and is gsync compat as well. I'm pretty sure I checked and all of these have dp 1.4, 144hz, gsync, and IPS or better panels. I'd go with the one you like best. Honestly, the DBXA and the Dell would be my choices... I just have a thing for dell monitors though haah.
  12. Hmm. Is color gamut/fidelity important to you? Or is FPS king? There are both at your pricepoint but they aren't all equal. If you had to pick one over the other, which would it be?
  13. So, forgive me for being ignorant on the topic, but why would PCI-E lanes hinder bandwidth? Isn't folding just using the calculation ability of the GPU (similar to mining)?
  14. What are your system specs or your future upg plans? I think that would determine what is suggested. I have a Dell 144hz 1440p monitor that fits those dimensions, but if you can't "fill it out" it would be a waste to have such specs
  15. Thats so good to hear!! Out of curiosity and mostly because I think I'm misunderstanding what the paypal-mass-transactions have to do with the marketplace... would EHW be some kind of middleman in the transaction process to prevent fraudulent transactions? So: Seller lists item > buyer sends money to EHW > seller sends goods to person > once verified or after X timeframe payment is released to seller? Thanks for everything you're doing Enterprise!!!
  16. I think people are just scambling to get -anything- ... regardless of MSRP. ?
  17. I can't wait for the forsale section with -verifiable rep- to be back. When they took that off the other site I was so sad... I had a decent rep rating there!
  18. holy crap - $700 for a case? Phew. I was looking for a s8s case for a while (before I wanted dual top mounts) and they're so hard to find ? For the mountain mod link you sent though - it just gives me a bunch of random parts and mining cases. Is that what you meant?
  19. Google has failed me miserably. And using Amazons inteface when trying to research cases leaves a lot to be desired. That said - anyone have an idea of a 2x topmount AIO case? I have a Corsair AIO CPU cooler along with an evga 3090 hybrid and its kinda annoying me how one is in the front and the other on top currently. I suppose they don't HAVE to be topmounted, but as long as they are out of the way of the main airflow paths I'm cool with it. edit: 2x 140mm AIOs. Edited for clarity lol
  20. Even if they made an equal share of GPU mining capable only cards it really wouldn't matter too much, as they can't account for every algorithm. This is super silly tbh and is wasting everyones time.
  21. Is there any interest for this? I think we can compile some good data if anyone is interested.
