Look, this is an absolute steal... I’ve got my hands on this card and man, it is just incredible.

At this rate, you’re probably going to end up talking him into buying an i5 paired with a 380x just to settle it. 😬

Man, putting a 750W Seasonic on a Radeon RX 480 and an AMD Ryzen 7 1700? That's... well, that's some serious overkill right there. lol

What’s the plan here? Are we talking overclocking or just keeping things stock?

Wait... there isn't even a dedicated GPU listed in the thread? It’s just running on integrated graphics?

It’s that day again... July 17th. 😢 RIP Jules!

Thanks. You can just lock this one away.

Just two quick questions for you guys.

1. Will my BIOS stay intact even if I end up nuking Windows entirely?

2. So, while I was messing around with my PC setup, I left the dedicated graphics card plugged into the motherboard but had the monitor cable hooked up to the integrated graphics instead. Is there any chance I actually fried my main GPU by doing that?

Thanks!

Alright, it's all set.

I'll give you a shout if anyone decides to back out or if anything changes on my end.

The RAM is heading out to my buddy over in Chicago.. if anyone else is looking for a processor, let me know. I'm honestly a little nervous about whether it'll actually work, though. The thing was absolutely caked in dust when I got it, just thick layers of grime... I'm really just crossing my fingers that it didn't fry from overheating.

I'll cover the shipping myself.

I’ve got some RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 up for grabs—hit me up in my DMs if you happen to have a socket 775 motherboard sitting around somewhere.

Seriously though, I'm not kidding, this is the real deal.

So, I was digging around in my attic today and stumbled upon this old computer sitting there... I couldn't just leave it alone, honestly, the itch was too much, so I ended up tearing it apart to see what was inside. The motherboard is probably toast by now, but the processor and RAM should be fine—I mean, I haven't heard of anyone's CPU or RAM just dying out of nowhere. 😬

Anyway, if you know anyone who’s looking for a machine or just wants to get into computing... seriously, hit me up.

The only real headache is that the Intel Core i3-2100 + Stock Cooler + RAM are absolutely filthy. Like, caked in dust. I didn't mess around with a deep clean or anything yet; I just wiped off a tiny bit of grime just to squint at the label and figure out which processor it actually was.

Long story short, let me know. 😁

P.S. I'm doing this because I had a bit of a meltdown on a tech forum the other day over some swearing... xD Just feels like I need to make some good karma to balance things out. 😁

Posting from a burner account because they wouldn't let me use my main one... anyway... finally sorted out that whole mess by updating the motherboard BIOS. Problem solved!

Man, I remember this guy had a Q6600 clocked at 3.1GHz... but once he tried hitting 3.15, the whole thing just started crashing and the temps went absolutely insane.

Look, an ocat G3258 isn't a bad way to go, but honestly? It’s a much pricier route. Plus, you’d need a specific motherboard for that, and an H81 just won't cut it.

So, I just gotta mention—a buddy of mine was running a Q6600OC with a liquid cooling setup and an MSI 260 x 2, while I’ve just got my G1840 paired with a standard 260. We both jumped into Grand Theft Auto V using the exact same settings, and honestly? The difference was barely anything—like, maybe 3 fps. Just a tiny little nudge.

Look, grabbing a brand-new rig isn't a bad move at all, but let's be real... your bank account is probably going to make the final call here.

An overclocked Q6600 is barely even faster than my G1840... and you can pick one of those up for $90 bucks. Honestly, you might want to think twice before jumping into a Q6600OC upgrade... especially since the condition of that motherboard is super sketchy. Age really does play tricks on hardware.

I was stuck in the exact same spot once. I was running an E7200, but I ended up selling everything off to switch over to a G1840, and man, I have zero regrets about it.

So, I heard this thing—and take this with a grain of salt because who knows what people say online—but if you leave the exact same image sitting on your TV screen for too long, it can actually "burn in." Like, permanently. So, just a heads-up, maybe don't leave it on one static shot for hours on end.

Why would we want another driver to quit just so Honda can scrape together some extra points? 😬

Yeah, those ones for $250 should do the trick just fine. Thanks!

Williams. Man, I am seriously looking forward to seeing what they pull off this year. It’s going to be such an interesting scrap against Ferrari.
