Reciever

Not that it would help you save any money but isnt Intel HEDT still in the rumor mill?

It would if those monitors werent riddled with issues and compromises The Aorus one is the only one that came close last I saw and its using compression because it cant actually hit 4k120hz Honestly though I was just looking for a 40ish" panel with 4k and freesync My 42" TV still works but just looking ahead to see what I would get as I dont want the hassle of the newer SmartTV's and setting it up on its own VLAN to prevent it from scanning my network.

We disabled those before opening the forum. While my cohost Hiew simply didnt want negative bandwagons (which is fair), I had similar reasoning in that, anything critical should be handled constructively in each members respective posts via dialogue. I am of the opinion that if you cant be bothered to defend your position via dialogue its a position not worth defending, by extension if you cant be bothered to construct your own criticism towards a particular idea then people probably dont want to hear it anyways. Anything that cant be resolved or degenerates into a "shouting match" can be resolved with a report. I just made it home and will look at the what the limitations are set at for "reactions" though to be completely transparent I personally wanted to reinstitute a "REP" system but as far as I can tell there is no means currently built into the forum software to easily allow that, which is a huge bummer personally. "Reactions" are the best we can do without hiring someone to facilitate that for us and right now with no ads and paying out of pocket we have to keep the "Scope of the Project" limited to what we can do ourselves. A bit off topic for this thread but it should serve as context. If no posts are made I will edit this post with the limit setting. EDIT: Have bumped up to 75 for now. Will likely increase again in the near future just need to get a changelog going for the next announcement. The setting has been mostly fine but it has bumped heads with some of our more frequent users so its been on my mind, mostly because what I stated above. Which is why I liked the NBR system of "like" and separate "value" for "rep".

I think the limit is either 50 or 75 at the moment

decommissioned systems

Its mostly nostalgia purchase but also buying in advance of the coming winter for some hwbot submissions. Slows down considerably at work usually as well so I'll be remoting home running benchmarks and putting in more work into the forum :) The only bummer is they arent EVGA branded (not that it really matters functionally), they are PNY XLR8 cards.

I could see it make sense in counties like South Korea that has pretty good internet service. I think I tried looking into at one point and just decided that I didnt like the input lag

Yep! I intend to pick 2 up for such a purpose. Used to have one a long time ago, it is sadly where I learned of the 1GB vram marketing vs reality trope lol it was good fun at the time. Now I want a couple for nostalgia but also for benching.

It is our pleasure :) I used to have a k53, sandy laptop with 540m right? Put a lot of miles on mine when I had it. Welcome to the forums! Be sure to check out some of the how-to's for how to work with some of the finer aspects of the forum software :)

Current rate is 60/each I may be able to move the needle depending on how much interest there is here.

Hey guys so I have a local listing for 9800GX2's only reason I am bringing it to the forums attention and specifically here is because he has around 20 in inventory. Anyone want in?

I focus more so on Forum cohesiveness, where to cut the fat and where to expand. The backend is largely handled by my co-(re?)founder @Hiew . He is good at what he does, and that aspect of the forum has largely been running like a well oiled machine. We have had a cooling off period for a bit now, with the world seemingly falling to pieces we have been working as much as possible in our respective lives. I still have some projects in regards to the forums, one of which I have been working on here and there to which some here are privy, I still plan to make it a reality here when the time is right.

Best possible mobile server is likely to be the Ranger with the modification I ran on it. I had around 12TB at the time, but with your 3x 8TB drives the Ranger could easily handle that and more tbph

Switch to Dark Theme, I may just make that the default going forward. The IC forums are not letting me post there for some reason, so getting answers is difficult.

Thanks for the link, sent an inquiry to see about diagnosing my msi branded 1080 from my p750FM. Locks up under GPU load and kind of miss using it as my daily.

I would imagine it would need to be a case by case basis for this kind of scenario, certainly anything is possible with the right tools and knowledge. Keep in mind that a custom vBIOS was also needed to rectify some issues he was initially facing upon the result of the modification.

Tech Cemetery do laptops too?

It could also just be a current setting that doesn't jive with the cpu. For example I believe the medium is Optimus only to the panel but if there is a peg setting and it's enabled, perhaps it's changing the behavior of the post. Since previously mDP is not functional, headless variants won't fool the system into posting. I'll probably need to swap the 4810mq back in and review the sbios settings.

Mostly only my t440p and a couple of other Dell systems like the m6800 and e5540. Recently nothing though, might put it into the t440p to verify function.

Got my eye on an HD 5970 Quadfire listing while everyone is looking at RTX 4090's lol

Sadly the 4980hq did not post in the P157SM-A laptop. Turns on for about a minute, then back off, reboots and repeats. :(

Just get a low melting point solder, my current heatsink (pipes, heat exchanger, plates) all are "Custom" made. The trick is the contact plate and making sure you dont blow up the heatpipes. For taking it apart, gravity works great and a toaster oven gives you a window. Im going to probably have to remake my heatsink again for my own laptop as the MSI 1080 either needs to be repaired or get a different GPU. Problem is most GPU's dont have an off center die. Bending pipes is a huge pain though

Forgive me I didn't see the edit. Prema stopped distributing his bios as a result of people and companies stealing his work and reselling for profit. There were also instances where individuals would make small changes in order to claim as their work that resulted in some fried laptops.

Very interesting! If I sell what I have now I may pursue this route over time.

Nothing in particular, just older stuff so I guess anything un the unified GPU timeline
