Could you elaborate more on what you mean by crashing? The exact behavior of the crash can often point to what may happening with your system. Welcome to the forums 🙂

True enough. When I read that review it sounds like they somehow found the one rock on this earth that didn't have a note about ddu, let alone mention if he bothered to uninstall the Nvidia drivers (unless I missed it?). If so then it's entirely a pebkac scenario, whining about a clutch without knowing what that mystical third pedal is for lol. This isn't exactly the 4870x2 days where if the game didn't see the 2 gpu's you were basically screwed. Though I do miss that era, I preferred buying an x60 and just adding another x60 later, still bothers me a bit.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is a notoriously picky title. I gave up keeping up with updates on that title since the title required AVX2 which means I had to listen to the x58 die hards howl into the moon until they got their way. When I installed the "required" driver, I had screen flickering issues (was a hotfix driver). I just reverted back to what ever I was on with my 5700xt and played the game despite the warnings from the game that it was the wrong driver. I take product reviews about as serious as reading politics on imgur. I go to the forums for actual feedback worth considering. Now if that review had some actual troubleshooting bullets it would give it more weight. Launching 1 title and raging about AMD software to which we would assume would mean AMD Drivers because details are just details, screams to me much like a spoiled child would when not getting a free car for their 17th birthday.

Hmm well I may grab a 1gb card just to test the waters, they are fairly cheap but that's part of the fun, bargain hunting! Mostly because I can run benchmarks remotely and dial in the overclock. The crazy fun part would be something similar to @khenglish 980 DT modification with the desktop vram. Pretty outside of the scope of my skills though. Shame I haven't seen him make it over here.

Speaking of older cards, any real difference between the 1GB and 2GB cards on the 650Ti boost cards beyond the vram?

I could ask my management to get contact for an inquiry tomorrow

Well as far as I'm concerned it's karmic balance lol I'm still jaded they shrunk it from dedicated mic and headphone Jack's before doing away with it altogether.

Almost got the second machine up and running again. Bought that value option from thermalright for 37 usd. Ripped off the top fins since they aren't soldered on so it's just cosmetic. Going to install a couple more shelves so everything can be packed in.

Welcome to the forums!

Yeah its a great time to kick junky sugar drinks since the environment encourages hydration. I tend to stay away from the other stuff once I am back on the water + coffee kick and just supplement with something like Electrolyte to get me through the day. Gets rid of the brain fog too, which is something I need to do anyways.

It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it.

@Tenoroon I was once told that a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind. 🙂 It looks like there is a Socket G3 desktop motherboard from Asrock, not for consumer but it exists. So I will be holding onto my 4980hq chip for a while longer it seems 😄

Some days here its been 40c+ First time I thought honestly about picking up a Windows AC unit for the second floor...

I would look for the individual thread in the archive :) @Aaron44126 is hosting the archive but isnt going to be librarian for its contents. Try looking in the threads relevant to your model or the aftermarket modification sub-forum

nope, DP to VGA adapter, they use carts with built in batteries. Most of what they do is done via browser. No need for thunderbolt on the frontline for the franchise I supply. Lot of WYSE client 5070's out there in the wild. Even then they are debating just replacing them with laptops, problem is they already have so many built in battery carts that buying laptops would be redundant. The heaviest they go for is the 7820 desktop precision for diagnostics, if they are locally connected to a monitor then they might grab some barco GPU's and corresponding monitors.

Same, its going to be over 100F all week it seems

The hospitals around here have been using thin clients for that for about 10 years now.

In addition to fleet operations they do also have amazon flex where people essentially act as a doordash for Amazon. If its expected to be 2-day or even a month, as far as I am concerned then simply state as such. Last 5 orders were stated as same day, when in reality its been 2 full business days later @ 10pm.

I ordered something for an itx form factor, will see if they fit how I would like lol Also ordered the Thermalright Peerless assassin 120SE model, needed something for my AM4 system so that I can make my 7810 a VM sandbox. Was surprised to see a dual tower cooler for 37 USD. :rant: Lastly though Amazon sucks, Im tired of their BS to quite honest. Look if a product is unlikely to arrive at my door by the same day then simply report as such but its been the last few orders now where it states same day but doesnt show for 3 days. Again Im not being irate because its "late" its just frustrating to repeatedly alter my schedule when a giant corporation like Amazon cant make simple projections and if it happens so often then why make the claim to begin with? :end rant:

We have no intention of letting this forum die, even if no one posted it would remain. More importantly I am happy as well to see familiar names and new ones, and fully intend to keep the spirit of what was, here at NBT. With that, welcome (back?) to the forums 🙂

I am using it for my 10850K system and will be buying another for my AM4 system.

Honestly from a NIB experience it is a bit disappointing but it doesnt look too difficult to make your own heatsink with that layout. Of course this isnt justification for its current design. Worst case scenario you could go the eGPU route I suppose if the GPU burns out or no longer beneficial as the primary.

TechTarget decided they didn't want to keep the forum alive, that was that.

That's hardly a new design philosophy. Honestly surprised you aren't pointing out that the cpu is soldered as well since they mention ram being soldered, something that's been done on xps 13's for 5+ years at this point.

Last I saw fairphone didnt sell to the US, but maybe they are more flexible now, the new device looks pretty nice
