Despite sending out a public assurance to a worried audience—"(we) take your concerns seriously and want to provide clear information"—GIGABYTE will not be recalling problematic products. VideoCardz reckons that the company is "downplaying" current conditions. Based on further evidence—shared by several members of the TechPowerUp forum (commenting on news coverage)—unfortunately, the first reported case (emerging from South Korea) was not an isolated incident. Given the contents of GIGABYTE's public bulletin, they seem to be aware that this special thermal material (reserved for fancier SKUs) is troubling owners of early batch "GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards." TPU forumite, remekra, shared two images and the following bit of feedback (plus a warning): "I have mine mounted in Lian Li SUP01 case, so GPU is basically standing that's why it drips into the direction of ports. So far it does not overheat on memory modules. I will hold off sending it to GIGABYTE customer service, as I don't have good memories of them; so until it overheats or stops working I will use it. But if you have a vertical case or stand then be aware."

[fresh timber]

Despite publicly stating they “take your concerns seriously,” GIGABYTE has no plans to recall affected products. According to VideoCardz, the company appears to be downplaying the issue. Reports from TechPowerUp forum users suggest the initial case from South Korea wasn’t isolated. GIGABYTE’s bulletin hints they’re aware of issues with a special thermal compound used in early batches of GeForce RTX 50 and Radeon RX 9000 Series cards. One user, remekra, shared images and a warning: in his vertically-mounted Lian Li SUP01 case, the compound drips toward the ports. Although his card isn’t overheating yet, he’s wary of GIGABYTE support and plans to keep using it until failure. He advises others with vertical setups to be cautious.

MrMPFR believes that Team Red started picking up former NVIDIA and Intel engineering talent, back in 2022/2023. In addition, a lot of new hires were apparently sourced from academic institutions. In theory, these newer team members have not had the time to make major inroads—in terms of getting finalized products out into the wild. MrMPFR reckons that noticeable contributions will accelerate AMD's making of "RDNA 6+/UDNA 2+," and beyond. Early 2025 leaks have pointed to the company collaborating with Sony; their "PlayStation 6" console is tipped to be powered by some fork of Team Red's "UDNA" graphics technology.

That is how it has been for decades lol

“big navi will beat turing!!!”

[rancid juniper]

Please be real

Gotta see team blue still keeping on the fight

Their advancements since Alchemist was interesting

[frigid stag]

at least 60% of that they couldnt compete even in value, there was always a downside somewhere

the downsides got lower with rdna 2 though

[rancid juniper]

NGL it's kinda funny when people who switch to AMD for the first time will complain super hard when there's like one issue they face

Oh and if you wiggle a ram stick she crashes

Never did that before

[lone mango]

Yeah especially the 40 series cards that have real soft pcbs

The 4090s that crack

Clearly this is user error

[chrome surge]

Should I cop a R5 7500f instead of a 7600X? Mainly want to game

[lone mango]

Yeah there is very little difference in performance but you will save money with the 7500f

[late aspen]

Hi, logging into Newegg working? Mine says there’s an issue with my account. Just bought a PC on there

[chrome surge]

True, I’m not too bothered by the difference, but if it makes a huge deal with the integrated graphics then I’d just get the 7500f

Though I’d probably have to order it and wait for it if I did.

But then I don’t get an iGPU or the included cooler

[fresh timber]

Is 9600x still on sale

[lone mango]

Last time I checked yes

[lone mango]

Ordering from ali?

Price went up big time

7500f used to be 115

last time i checked it was a little over 150

and listings got wiped out

[dense locust]

Tfw

Nobody should order from Ali anymore

[lone mango]

I would just get the 9600x on newegg and sell the drive if you dont need it to recoup some costs

[dense locust]

How much is it on newegg

[lone mango]

209

[dense locust]

Hmm same on amazon

Guess the sale ended

[lone mango]

Yeah amazon probably wanted to undercut or something

I saw the deal end lol

I was trying to get my friend to build a pc and he kept putting it off

I go to amazon and the deal was ending in 45 minutes

He still bought the one on newegg anyway because of the storage

Does that apply to 1440p recording too

[lone mango]

For av1? Not sure

[fresh timber]

The regular encoders

[lone mango]

I only saw 1080p being talked about

[lone mango]

Avc has no bug, its just lower quality

Hevc does have a resolution bug too

If you record hevc in amd software, it is in 1082p

I dont remember ever seeing this with obs though

[hoary zodiac]

Average radeon software

[misty sparrow]

1082p

Looks so much clearer than 1080p

[lone mango]

Ok so my gran turismo recordings are in 1080p

So obs hevc is ok

[fresh timber]

I had a recording at 1082

What happens if you record 1440

1442?

[lone mango]

both tiers have unlimited saved items but free is only 3

also you get late notifications compared to the paid versions

[remote geode]

tbh even in my workplace we're ditching desktops for laptops

[hoary zodiac]

the problem isn't desktops tbh

x86 is just pretty inefficient

[remote geode]

it is

unless they make a revision that cuts down on all of that technical debt that it has accumulated all over the years

but they might as well make it a new architecture

ahahahahahaha

[chrome surge]

Sooo should I settle for a 7600x?

[remote geode]

speaking of inefficient

[hoary zodiac]

the thing with linux

[remote geode]

I was wondering if I should replace my full fat 11600k with a 14th gen laptop frankenstein mobo from AliExpress

[hoary zodiac]

a lot of packages already have builds for arm

[hoary zodiac]

there's entire arm repos

or packages can be compiled for arm

[remote geode]

linux is still niche tbh

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't say so

[misty sparrow]

is it though? pewdiepie just installed it

made a whole video about it

[hoary zodiac]

it's not niche

it's just not as mainstream as windows

maybe niche for the average person

but it's certainly not niche

[remote geode]

i don't see mainstream adoption yet, except for specialist use cases

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[crimson scroll]

Still using FE 770

[hoary zodiac]

ehhhh

I wouldn't say there's no mainstream adoption

[crimson scroll]

[remote geode]

same

[crimson scroll]

Idk if itll be good

For me i mean

[hoary zodiac]

there is a lot of mainstream adoption really

It's certainly not niche these days

If you look at a pie chart of the market share it's insignifcant

[remote geode]

I guess for my perspective there hasn't been much movement, since I'm from the Philippines

[hoary zodiac]

but if you actually look at the numbers

there's A LOT of people using linux

and the funny thing is

for the average person linux does suit all their needs

that's why chromebooks make money really

[remote geode]

most of the complaints i see are from gaming

so i would concede

[hoary zodiac]

but that's not a linux issue

that's an anti cheat issue

well that's not really fair

in some cases it is actually is linux

but in other cases it's the devs opting to not support linux

rockstar for example

GTA Online used to just work on linux

until a recent update just broke the anticheat entirely

[remote geode]

also

I wonder

[hoary zodiac]

and with steam proton most games do work

[remote geode]

should I keep on iterating on my desktop or should I opt in for a steam deck OLED instead

[nocturne flicker]

This is exactly how something being niche is actually determined. It doesn't matter if the market is giant, a niche in relation to a market is a small section or subsection of that market

[remote geode]

think think think

[hoary zodiac]

what do you do on your desktop

do you just game

[remote geode]

mostly game

I don't think I'll be doing any remote work

[hoary zodiac]

then there's probably isn't much to lose

by going to a deck

multiplayer games can be annoying

it really just depends on your game library at this point

most of it is kbm tho

Idk abt the top pcie tho

[lone mango]

Oh nice so it was just poor contact

[hoary zodiac]

is it a old platform or something

like has it been used for a decade

could be the socket deforming

[crimson scroll]

No the cpu is probably stoll duing

[hoary zodiac]

what

[crimson scroll]

Lga1151 7th gen z270chioset

Still dying i mean

[hoary zodiac]

kaby lake

that's

2017

hmm

that's not that old

[crimson scroll]

Nooe

[hoary zodiac]

tbh deformation from heat is a bigger issue on LGA 2011

[lone mango]

Why you think that

[acoustic palm]

?

[crimson scroll]

Uhhhh probably because it doesnt work with a pcie 4.0 gpu anymore

[acoustic palm]

2017 is 8 years old bro

[crimson scroll]

Shut up bruh

[lone mango]

I mean its old but not terribly old

Still has use today

[hoary zodiac]

not long enough to see deformation issues

[crimson scroll]

In that logic 1080 ti is old and useless

[lone mango]

Yeah its not so bad

[hoary zodiac]

that was the point

and besides

being old doesn't mean it's bad

being quad core is why 7th gen is bad

[hoary zodiac]

this

[crimson scroll]

More core=good?

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

not exaclty

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

Exactly its 8 years old dude

Chill

[sinful blade]

I’m currently using an 18 year old pc case for my 2025 build

[hoary zodiac]

it's just that quad cores don't fare as well in modern tasks

[crimson scroll]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

well tbh it depends

but like

imagine two optiplex

a 7700 and an 8700

would you rather get the 4c/8t or the 6c/12t

at a similar price range

[crimson scroll]

8700

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that's the thing

with coffee lake

you can get a 6c/6t 8500 for a decent price

[crimson scroll]

Who just pregnant man reacted this guy lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

so 4c/8t really isn't worth it

[hoary zodiac]

fingers probably just slipped

[crimson scroll]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

and for quad core systems there are cheaper options

such as haswell or skylake

you can make an argument for the kaby lake ipc

[acoustic palm]

I didn’t say it’s bad, just said it’s old

[hoary zodiac]

I think you just misread the context

the point was that kaby lake wasn't that old

in terms of the lifespan of a board

[crimson scroll]

I like my pc :c

Just hate the failing cpu

[hoary zodiac]

how do you know that the cpu is the failing part

[crimson scroll]

@sinful blade i see you

[hoary zodiac]

could be the motherboard

[crimson scroll]

Its the cpu

Pins look fine

Motherboard looks fine

[hoary zodiac]

that's not concrete evidence

[crimson scroll]

@sinful blade stop before tou end up being the pregnant man

[crimson scroll]

Then explain how when i took out my cpu and put it back in the nvmes worked?

Hmmm

[hoary zodiac]

that does not eliminate the motherboard

[crimson scroll]

The boards fine

Ima just buy a new cpu

If that doesnt fix anything i will replace it

All in all will need 100$

[hoary zodiac]

💀

jesus

are you getting a 7700 at least

[crimson scroll]

No

[hoary zodiac]

ouch

[crimson scroll]

Gotta get a 12vhphr cable

[hoary zodiac]

wh

[crimson scroll]

Plus 7700 costs more than my bosrd does

😂

[hoary zodiac]

consider this

for $100

you can get an am4 board with a ryzen

[crimson scroll]

Depends it’s different buying used my friend

[hoary zodiac]

that is what I'm getting at here

used am4 is generally cheap enough

[crimson scroll]

Ik but

The 7700 i mean my i3-7100 is 10$

My
Cpu and board are the same price

[hoary zodiac]

don't buy a $100 board for a 8 year old platform

[acoustic palm]

It’s board + cpu

But still

[hoary zodiac]

that's still not worth $100 tbh

[acoustic palm]

Get am4 atp

[crimson scroll]

My board is primez270-ar

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/134171932277?_skw=b450+with+cpu

this is just an example

oh wait

disreguard

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber do you think I can steal the cable extensions from my old build

[hoary zodiac]

that's just a processor

[crimson scroll]

Lmfao

[acoustic palm]

And use em on my new one

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/236084490735?_skw=b450+with+cpu

[fresh timber]

Yes you can

[hoary zodiac]

This would actually be an upgrade

[acoustic palm]

I feel like you’re lying to me

[hoary zodiac]

I need a vpn for ebay

[crimson scroll]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/326566332313?_skw=b450
https://www.ebay.com/itm/127094186531?_skw=ryzen+5+3600

point is

you're overpaying for kaby lake

that platform is not worth $100

[crimson scroll]

Eh

🗣️

[hoary zodiac]

you can spend the same amount of money for a better cpu

[icy ore]

[crimson scroll]

I want kaby lake

Dont feel like buying a new motherboard man

[hoary zodiac]

Fair enough

Try looking for a xeon

They may be cheaper than a 7700

You could find one for cheap

1230v6 isn't too expensive

4c/8t

[crimson scroll]

I want a i3-7100 its 10$

If i do have to buy a new motherboard im going to put this one in my old pc for tv gaming

When im too lazy to get up and go to my desk

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

If you're spending money already

You might as well get an upgrade

[crimson scroll]

Im not spending much

[hoary zodiac]

Even if it's to a 4c/4t i5

[crimson scroll]

Got a 45$ budget lolz

[hoary zodiac]

That's probably enough to get an i5

[crimson scroll]

Probs but factor in 13$ for a 12vhpwr

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Why are you getting 12vhpwr

[crimson scroll]

For my 4090

[hoary zodiac]

...

[crimson scroll]

Aut

Wut

[hoary zodiac]

On an i3 7100

[crimson scroll]

Yea

Its broken tho so dont worry

[hoary zodiac]

On the same pc

[crimson scroll]

The gpu

Yep

Wanna see if itll atleast display anything

[hoary zodiac]

...

[crimson scroll]

Wut

Wgatever i have left im saving for a new mobo

Ez winz

[crimson scroll]

Unless u wanna buy it all so i can get a new board

😂

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/355994384362?_skw=1230+v6&epid=16024517841&itmmeta=01JTHB7SS7HYC8ZE46XMS8S3F5&hash=item52e2eb37ea:g:k9MAAOSwldVm0DFp&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eLsPm1vPSlObsE2dAvH0p7Ls%2Bbr3m5hP0BhtORe0wtrGTRfWXjRNnRI3ww5yZcJ0jdQH1EX5kmo%2F0dvtVFy3avo9eogenjzM7JFXa5JMi3mXVHUgnbRsRyVMlRuN07q3%2FPv3pMHEdC6f%2FrWRV0C56E0E7kuQhpzmT6CNz6WnyUT0MEtaoemj28%2FMuSCqze2LDCXnhep4JGOBmZmYMzXtvVBe1RwIP7edPekAeL4s8MiA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-Kcn6vUZQ

These quad cores are dirt cheap

It's literally $6 more for a 4c/4t

$16 for a 4c/4t
$30 for a 4c/8t

[crimson scroll]

Im good

My i3-7100 is 10$

[hoary zodiac]

It's $6 more

You would literally get more performance/$

[crimson scroll]

As me mentioned before trying to save every penny here for a new board

[hoary zodiac]

If you're spending the money for a cpu and board upgrade anyways

Why not just go am4

[fresh timber]

You need a new pc

Case point

[crimson scroll]

Because i hope its just the cpu

[hoary zodiac]

Ok

Why not get the xeon then

It's literally $16

[fresh timber]

Fr

Maybe if you didn’t buy that $200 cases, and those $50 4090s you could afford better

[hoary zodiac]

If it's just the cpu

Then you would've spent $16 for a cpu upgrade

If it's the motherboard too

[crimson scroll]

Ik but times r tough man

[hoary zodiac]

What do you mean

[crimson scroll]

This pc shi expensive

[hoary zodiac]

That's more of a reason to buy the xeon

You get more performance per dollar

You get more out of every dollar your spend

[crimson scroll]

I know

[hoary zodiac]

It's like spending $100 for a pentium vs $110 for a ryzen

That's what we're looking at here

[crimson scroll]

I like intel.

[hoary zodiac]

That was an example

The point is

You're wasting money on a dual core cpu

That doesn't fare that well in 2025

Whereas you could spend slightly more for a quad core

[crimson scroll]

It runs the games i play fine

[hoary zodiac]

Windows alone will torture that cpu

[crimson scroll]

It doesnt.

It gets pretty low usage unless i have wallpaper rhnning

[hoary zodiac]

https://youtu.be/RbdORod6s8s

[fresh timber]

He plays ancient games

[hoary zodiac]

You're getting anywhere from 10%-70% performance gain

For $6 more

[crimson scroll]

Stop being a prick

[hoary zodiac]

Is he being annoying

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[fresh timber]

I’m not, your games run fine

[hoary zodiac]

I have him blocked lol

[crimson scroll]

Lmaoo im abt to do the same

All he does is hate on me in every server we share

[fresh timber]

Your the one banned lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

Anyways point is

You're spending $6 more for anything from 10% to 70% performance gain

[crimson scroll]

The most recent one is sons of the forest i play smaller games dont have TBS to spare for games

[fresh timber]

When you got banned from toasty bros they all said your annoying lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

Even in older games you can see the difference between dual and quad core

[crimson scroll]

Your the annoying one

[fresh timber]

and I quote “I was tired of him”

[hoary zodiac]

Gentlemen

Settle down

Or I'm timing someone out

[dusk knot]

HM....

[crimson scroll]

Since when was boomer a mod wut

[fresh timber]

🤣🤣🤣

@dusk knot wanna see funny in DMs

[dusk knot]

imagine giving up on HS

[sinful blade]

ChatGPT is giving me destiny builds

[fresh timber]

I have moderatoe infomation

[sinful blade]

Wild times

[dusk knot]

i hope its funny

[dusk knot]

lmao. i bet theyre great

[crimson scroll]

Bruh

[sinful blade]

I’ve corrected it 6 times in 2 builds

[hoary zodiac]

Anyways

What I was trying to say was

[dusk knot]

hhmm

[hoary zodiac]

You could either spend
$10 for a dual core that will struggle in old AND new titles
or
$16 for a quad core that will run older titles well and struggle less on newer titles

[dusk knot]

its up to date with the latest DLC ?

[crimson scroll]

I get the point bro

[hoary zodiac]

With anywhere from 10%-70% performance uplift depending on the title

[crimson scroll]

Was suspended for 2 days but granny made me drop since i was failing algebra

Not gonna help not get bullied for it but thats part of the full story

The other half too lazy to explain

[sinful blade]

Yes

[sinful blade]

Go finish HS

[fresh timber]

DMs

[crimson scroll]

No

Im 17

Dont need for it anymore

No point

[hoary zodiac]

What a world we live in

[silver sparrow]

i mean im a drop out missing like 2 credits for highschool, and im working in HVAC Service with 15% commission, and a ton of other benefits, once i get my whole game down im going to be making well over 100k a year, you dont need to finish highschool to be successful

[crimson scroll]

Thank you for backing me up

[unreal trail]

corn bread n butter

[hoary zodiac]

The schooling system also isn't perfect

It's not really the best system to determine performance for everyone

That's why it works for some people and not for others

However

[crimson scroll]

I was getting bullied nonstop everyday teachers didnt do anything until i threatned to do something abt it myself for good and they got the cops n whatnot which is why i was dropped

[hoary zodiac]

Finishing high school does have its advantages

[crimson scroll]

School sucks

[unreal trail]

if someone opened a fair HVAC company, they'd clean up

[sinful blade]

The issue is, is that this is often an outlier.

[unreal trail]

trades are extortion specialties

[silver sparrow]

i mean i was well on track to finishing 2 years early with getting into online school before covid was a thing, then i just got into the bad habbit of going "well ill just finish it next year"

im a very quick learner and realisticly i would school any freshly graduated highschooler in most applicable topics

[dusk knot]

i understand...i hate math as well. did you try to get a GED?

[sinful blade]

This also matters.

[hoary zodiac]

Don't you guys have alternative education pathways

[misty sparrow]

I didn't think you could finish college early, how did you nearly do it

[hoary zodiac]

Or is it not a thing in the US

[hoary zodiac]

You can

If you strategically stack your units together

[silver sparrow]

if you are in the US, and are below 21, you can still finish highschool, if you are older than 21 you can pay to finish HS and still get a diploma

[hoary zodiac]

You can probably condense your study time

Not having a job also helps

Albeit that's a luxury that most people don't have

[crimson scroll]

Not going bakc lul

[crimson scroll]

Yes but never had time to do the work

I was signhed up for it

[sinful blade]

@crimson scroll agora is a good place online. They send you a printer and laptop.

[silver sparrow]

like i could still get a diploma if i pay for the schooling, but like its a useless thing for me, im well off in my field and i would only need it if i want to go and design Hvac systems and go to college for the applicable college things

[hoary zodiac]

Do they offer an actual certificate

Oh wow

That's pretty sweet

[sinful blade]

You can actually go and graduate in person if you want

[hoary zodiac]

The problem I often find with schooling is the system

Not education itself being the problem

[crimson scroll]

Ill keep it in mind dm me a link

[silver sparrow]

it wouldnt be physical school, usually its online, you would just need to send over your highschool transcripts to get the credits up to date, and you would be able to finish it

[hoary zodiac]

Whether it is the system in a specific school or the system as a whole

[crimson scroll]

If anyone else has suggestions dm me

No promises tho

[hoary zodiac]

Having an alternative does help

[sinful blade]

[hoary zodiac]

My solution to failing grades to move an entire country but like

I'm an outlier

Very specific circumstances

[sinful blade]

Rich people be like

[silver sparrow]

yeah i never had issues with failing grades, i just lacked motivation to give a crap about it.

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not rich

But I don't have any other choice

The origin country also played a part

So it wasn't only education

[junior willow]

Guys I just found a pc by a dumpster but it rained today so it's wet :(

[hoary zodiac]

Don't wanna live in China

[junior willow]

How do I dry it safely

[silver sparrow]

ok throw it in the dryer

[sinful blade]

Wait it out

[junior willow]

Air dry?

[silver sparrow]

i swear its safe :D

[crimson scroll]

Just wait a t a week

[junior willow]

Pluh

[crimson scroll]

Abt a week

[sinful blade]

Blow dryer on lowest setting

[junior willow]

I don't have a blow dryer so I'll have to wait

[hoary zodiac]

Under no circumstances should you open the power supply

DO NOT OPEN the power supply

You will die

[silver sparrow]

honestly use microfiber cloth to get as much as possible, dab it rather than rub it

[junior willow]

Oh yeah I'm definitely not powering it on for a WHILE

[hoary zodiac]

Bit of fear mongering to drive the point across

[hoary zodiac]

Oh no

[junior willow]

Wait would it kill me even if it's unplugged

[hoary zodiac]

Not powering it on

[sinful blade]

@junior willow I’d honestly just get rid of the PSU

[hoary zodiac]

The power supply specifically

After powering on and off

[junior willow]

Mk should I wear gloves

[hoary zodiac]

The power supply can still hold charge

And if you open it and accidentally touch something

You can actually die

[junior willow]

I carried the pc into my room while it was wet and i didn't die, I can try to wear rubber gloves

[hoary zodiac]

But yeah get rid of the psu

Clean the parts

[junior willow]

I also have mechanics gloves

[hoary zodiac]

Well as long as you don't plug it in

[junior willow]

I still haven't looked inside is it safe to touch

[hoary zodiac]

Or touch anything inside the psu

[crimson scroll]

Touching the capacitors inside the psu will kill u

[sinful blade]

@junior willow do you have a bestbuy nearby

[junior willow]

30 minutes at least

[hoary zodiac]

You can open the computer but NOT the power supply

I doubt it holds charge at this moment but I would stay on the safe side

[sinful blade]

Keep the PSU apart from anything

Take it to them, let them know what happened, then they will dispose of it

[junior willow]

It's like an unboxing I can't wait to see what's inside

[hoary zodiac]

Imagine if it's a celeron

[junior willow]

I'd be hyped I love celery

So crunchy and delicious

If you guys don't hear from me it's bc I died

[sinful blade]

Please do not

[hoary zodiac]

You won't

[crimson scroll]

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

Just don't open the psu

Do. Not. Open. The. PSU.

[sinful blade]

Just remember to give it some time
I know it’s exciting

[hoary zodiac]

That is the ONLY way you can die

[sinful blade]

But your life is not worth looking at a pc

[hoary zodiac]

Don't plug it in

[silver sparrow]

you cant die if you arent grounded

just dont be stupid

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[silver sparrow]

if you do open it work with 1 hand, and dont ground yourself

[hoary zodiac]

Opening the pc isn't going to kill him

The risk is only in the psu

[silver sparrow]

litterally the bare basics of eletrical safety

[junior willow]

It might be

[hoary zodiac]

I think we've exaggerated

[crimson scroll]

Think its a her pronoun is girlboss lulz

[silver sparrow]

this is coming from the guy who works with HVAC capacitors daily

[hoary zodiac]

What??????

[junior willow]

Nah I'm a guy

[crimson scroll]

Oh wow

[junior willow]

I'm just a girlboss

[crimson scroll]

Lmfaooo

[hoary zodiac]

Based

[junior willow]

THIS ISNT A PC

What the scallops is this

[hoary zodiac]

That's a egpu

[junior willow]

What on earth is an egpu

[hoary zodiac]

Hey you got a free gpu

External gpu

[sinful blade]

That looks to be a 1660

[hoary zodiac]

For laptops

[sinful blade]

Or maybe not

[hoary zodiac]

You can reuse the gpu

[silver sparrow]

i was going to say looks like a 16 class gpu, or a 1050/1050ti

[junior willow]

Am I good to disconnect the power cords from the gpu

[silver sparrow]

heat sync seems bare bones

[hoary zodiac]

It's an oem so who knows

[sinful blade]

Yeah

Maybe a single fan 9xx

[junior willow]

This is definitely a 1050 ti or something

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[crimson scroll]

LOL

[sinful blade]

Good for an casual/office pc
Maybe a media pc

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

Slap in an old optiplex

Sell it for a profit

Assuming that it even works

[silver sparrow]

i mean its good for anything that doesnt have a dedicated GPU, and isnt using any modern integrated graphics

[crimson scroll]

Its a test bench i think or a sff missing the cover

[junior willow]

Who knows why it was by the dumpster

[hoary zodiac]

So that's where all the silicon went

[junior willow]

I just thought it was cool

[hoary zodiac]

No it's definitely an egpu

[sinful blade]

Do NOT use the hard drive

[crimson scroll]

YEA DONT

[silver sparrow]

its a GTX class card, thats why, it doesnt matter if it works modern day, its realisticly worthless

[hoary zodiac]

There is no hard drive

Are you guys seeing something I'm not

[sinful blade]

No

[junior willow]

There's definitely bitcoin on it I will be inserting it into my work computer immediately

[sinful blade]

But in case there’s something we can’t see

[hoary zodiac]

Ah

Fair

I'm only seeing an egpu chassis

[crimson scroll]

Its been confirmed @hoary zodiac cpu is dead tested gpu and everything else on my old pc work’s totally fine no driver timeouts no tdr failures no critical proccess died

[sinful blade]

Razer RGB PSU

[hoary zodiac]

That doesn't eliminate the motherboard

[junior willow]

They got those velcro cable management straps on it

Huge W

[crimson scroll]

True but it works fine with other gpus

[hoary zodiac]

?

[crimson scroll]

My amd gpu runs fine nvidia not so much

Either doesnt boot into windows

Or it does and freezes and crashes

[hoary zodiac]

Huh

[crimson scroll]

I have tried nvidia gpu in my old pc and it works fine

[hoary zodiac]

On the different pc?

[crimson scroll]

Same ssd and everything

Yea

I have 2

[hoary zodiac]

The hell

[junior willow]

How are there zero markings on this gpu

[crimson scroll]

Both suck

[crimson scroll]

Ive seen gpus lime that

[hoary zodiac]

So BOTH gpus work

[crimson scroll]

Usually useless

[crimson scroll]

Yep

[hoary zodiac]

On the other pc

[junior willow]

Gpu of the unknown

[crimson scroll]

Yep

[hoary zodiac]

But not on the one with a sus cpu/board

[crimson scroll]

Yep

Its a pcie 4.0

The and one is 3.0

So i guess it is the cpu

[hoary zodiac]

That shouldn't change anything except bandwidth

[crimson scroll]

Idk

[hoary zodiac]

Or motherboard

[crimson scroll]

Im new to this

[hoary zodiac]

Pcie is backwards compatible

[crimson scroll]

Ik

[hoary zodiac]

So I'd probably try to get a xeon

And if it still doesn't work

Get a used b250 or something

Actually no not b250

[crimson scroll]

Ok

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe something cheap like h270

Or h110

Does anyone know if h110 works with kaby lake?

[crimson scroll]

Probably but ima just stick to my board

Might upgrade to a z390

Soon or whenever

[sinful blade]

Intel boards are wild

[hoary zodiac]

Please don't upgrade to a z390 on a locked cpu

Especially on a dead platform

[sinful blade]

I have 1 intel cpu and board in my possession

[hoary zodiac]

You're spending money for no gains

[crimson scroll]

Its 8th gen only

Maybe 9th gen

[hoary zodiac]

You don't need z390

H310 works

[crimson scroll]

Z270 is 6th and 7th gen

[sinful blade]

MSI H61M-P31/W8 motherboard with 4GB DDR3 CRUCIAL RAM+Intel Core i3-3220 CPU

This is what I have

[hoary zodiac]

Or b365

[crimson scroll]

Alright guys please

Im just gonna get a new cpu Thursday

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not trying to be mean or anything

[crimson scroll]

I know

[hoary zodiac]

Just saying that you will get the same out of it

For a fraction of the price

[crimson scroll]

I like my board to look cool too

[lone mango]

[junior willow]

GPU IDENTIFIED

[crimson scroll]

Which is also why i got this ome

[junior willow]

its the GEFORCE GTX V375

[crimson scroll]

Wut

Workstation

I think

[sinful blade]

wtf

[hoary zodiac]

Z390s costs as much as an entire platform upgrade

So
