Hello! I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina that I love very much. I bought a 1TB SSD a while ago and it has been great so far. I am also running bootcamp with Windows 10 too. I am the nostalgic type when it comes to operating systems, and I have an idea. This laptop came with Mountain Lion, and it appears it's super easy to install the OG OS that the Mac came with almost 10 years ago. I want to install it on my old, smaller SSD. This allows me to play with the old OS without affecting my main 1TB drive. The only thing I am worried about is if my Mac will kill the data when swapping back and forth. My PC background brain says it won't, but it is Apple so who knows! Any insight will be appreciated, thanks!

Same as Ryzen Master

It's pretty much the same

True. I'll need to wait for more paste to arrive before I can try that. Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!

There is what hardware monitor is telling me

I could take the fans off and it would be the same temp

That's just it though, the cooler is literally not transferring heat. The CPU temp looks like a complete lie at this point lol

So I'm at 4.3Ghz at 1.28 vols. Cooler is still cold but it says 80 degrees

So as soon I bumb the voltage up, the temp rises to the moon again. I swear the temp number isn't even temperature, just a voltage monitor llol

True, my voltage is at 1.125 instead of 1.45 sometimes

Dude you're a freaking legend! I was about to send this stuff back lol

Hey! So turning off that stuff has me sitting at 65 degrees!

Alright, trying.

Hello all! I'll let the video do the talking, but I don't freaking get it. Top of the line CPU cooler and I can't get the right temperature. The cooler is cold, but the CPU is 95° C instantly? And as soon as the test is off, right back down to idle. Things I have tried: Re-seat CPU (3 times) Re-applied TIM (over 6 different ways), almost a whole tube of Arctic Silver Latest BIOS Used HW Monitor, Fan Xpert 4, CPU-Z, and Ryzen Master all reporting the same temperatures and voltages Default Mobo settings, except for XMP 3200MHz Stock CPU settings and speeds I just can't understand. My old 1600x did the same thing: never got the cooler even warm, and ran at 70-80° C under full load. My CPU cooler can't be dead, but it is about 3 years old now. The base plate on it is also cold under load. I guess the CPU performs as expected, but I was wanting to dig into OCing it. Maybe I should have bought a $70 board instead of a $200+ Specs: Ryzen 7 3800x Asus Crosshair VII (Wifi) GTX 1080Ti Samsung 970 Evo+ NVMe SSD ?

I had really neat GS800 PSU from corsair. I had the same issues, random crashing all the time. It finally died, peacefully thank goodness. I have since then upgraded and its been very stable since.

Alright! This is what I'm going for. Thank you guys so much!

This looks good! Thank you! I don't understand why everyone else is better at picking parts than I am. ?

I picked the MOBO mostly for it's OS software, look, and good rear IO. Looks like all Asus z390 mobos are pushing the budget. He only has about $800-900 to spend, including that silly monitor.

Ok. Thanks for the input! What PSU would you recommend that is the same price or cheaper? Ill look for a Z390 Board. I hope they have one in this color, he LOVED the look of it!

Hello! This is a start to a build for a friend with a handful of extra parts from me. We are about ready to start putting these parts into a shopping cart, but i wanted to double check the potential issues / incompatibilities with you guys. Thanks! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheCoolClub/saved/C3nRJx

I thought my joke was obvious! Haha.

Check this out! This looked pretty neat to me. The CPU was really hot as you would imagine! The little Chanel's looked like those bugs that eat wood.

I TOOK THE DRAWER OUT. YAY!

Hello! Thanks for checking this out. I need to mount my wheel to my desk that is a little too thick. I can open the draw and it works just fine, but i ccan't have my hand go all the way around the wheel. There is too little of gap. I've included some pictures so you can see. Thanks!
