Not bad, I guess... maybe just tidy up those cables inside the case so they aren't such an eyesore.

I did some overclocking through the BIOS, and now my CPU is sitting at 1.9 Ghz... how much further can I push this before things go south? Temps were around 53 C on the processor and 37 C on the motherboard after the OC...

I wouldn't push it if I were you... it's an old chip and everything else is pretty dated too. Honestly, just be happy you hit 1.9; I probably wouldn't go any higher since it'll likely start overheating...

Honestly, 🙂 you too, because you're basically shielding someone who pulled a total power trip by pretending to be an Admin..

EDIT: Hit 1000 posts!

e bigsmoke, you totally deserve to be 🙂

Joshua Davis18 said:I think it started making some light clicking noises in there. Ever since it slipped out of my hand. 😬 Man, I fixed the power supply too, but looks like the fan is acting up. Everything seems fine once I stop it, I guess.

PS
What am I even supposed to know? I didn't exactly start studying when I was a kid.
Hey, check it out. I guess we're doing this. One, two, three, four, five, sex. 😍I guess I can't remember them all... maybe some old names like Ziben, AHT, Nojn, Cen, Elf, Cvolf, or even Cvancig. 😁

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... I think that's how you say it? I took German back in elementary school, but honestly, the whole thing just felt way too forced, so I eventually just gave up on it.

Anyway, at least when you had your PC open right in front of you, nobody was there to laugh at you while you accidentally spat in it and then sat around for half an hour waiting for it to dry. 🤣

wiredmarlin5 said:Here's how I did some extra PC Modding 😁

lol, you should see my setup... I bought this cheap bulk fan that didn't even come with screws or anything. Couldn't find a single thing that actually fit, so I just zip-tied the damn thing to the case. It stays put and works fine, I guess. 👍 The only giveaway is a bit of 3M tape visible on the chassis, but whatever

wiredmarlin5 said:I don't really see how to disagree... if it's running fine, it's 😉

And you say you're organized? Yeah, right. 🙂

Let's just move this whole debate over to the community manager.

Look, agreeing helps keep temps down... I guess. I'm not exactly a neat freak, but when I've got nothing better to do, I'll mess around with my PC, blow out the dust, tidy up some cables, etc. 🤣

wiredmarlin5 said:I guess I could let you have it for $170. 😉

Here's two pics.

Nah, I'm good. My current power supply is actually holding up pretty well...
You could’ve probably done a slightly better job tidying up those cables inside, I guess.

So here’s my rig's guts, snapped on my iPhone. It was sunny outside and I even turned on the lights, but the photos still suck. Maybe I should call the FBI to hover a helicopter over me just so I can get some decent lighting.

For those who aren't exactly tech-savvy, I guess I'll just drop an image here with an explanation.

I can't really see what you're trying to show me here. The link isn't working on my end, I guess.

Looks alright, I guess. 😁

I guess I'll invite the rest of you guys to show off how you've handled your internal setups too...

And a shot of this old junk 🙂



(selling stuff btw if anyone's interested... I guess I give discounts to forum members 🙂)

buying up old junk for $33 🤣 🤣
Anyway, maybe take some photos while it's actually assembled, just so we can see how it looks inside the case...

so how are we doing this?

So, I got an Intel Core i9-14900K bundled with my new case... I guess that's a decent deal, right?

It's honestly kind of ridiculous. You read all these tech mags and blogs bragging about how there aren't any "unnecessary cables," but it’s all the same old mess... maybe you can just buy individual cables now, like one specifically for a hard drive or something?

btw, my power supply puts out 25A total on the ATX 12V rails.🤣

what kind of idiot trips on pavers

Joshua Davis18 said:I'm so tired I can barely see straight, honestly. Spent 8 hours at school today, including 2 hours of German class that makes zero sense to me. 😬

Well, if you actually paid attention in your language classes, maybe you'd know what that word even means.

northerncrane33 said:It's a curve on a tile roll, you know...🙂

I guess we just say "bread" back home in the South...🤣

and even in German, they'd call it a curve..

Mesh filters? I mean, pretty sure any computer shop carries them... saw some at the NetCom over in downtown Chicago yesterday.

Man, I’d love to help you out, and I bet a few others here would too...
The term "Wacom graphics tablet" isn't even in my vocabulary; I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing..

Bryan Sanchez86 said:You'll probably need to pick up something like this to make it work.

hmm, where would I even find that? And could I maybe run more than one fan off that single header (like at least two)?
Is there some kind of PCI card out there with dedicated fan headers?

wiredmarlin5 said:Probably a Corsair Vengeance... anyway, I'll probably shoot you a DM tomorrow with all the specifics on where to get it and everything else, you know how it is 🙂...

The PSU isn't really my main concern, just as long as it's got enough juice. Nothing else matters much to me.

Scores? I'm already seeing people hitting 17,000 on 3DMark 06 😁

Come on, man. I'm losing sleep here... I can barely scrape together 1,700 on 3DMark, let alone an extra zero. 🤣

Michael Morris56 said:I bumped my GeForce 7300GE from 580/800 up to 650/900

I pushed my 7300GS from 305/425 to 606/842... I guess that's as far as it goes.
