Most of the EVGA boards have "Error code 68" or something like that buried in there, or you just discover when it arrives that it has a memory controller issue. They work, but they've got issues.

 

Source: I know. I bought an X58 Classified for $110 on eBay from a seller who had a bunch of them, got a POST code error that indicated a possible memory issue, requested a refund as the board has a very short lifespan ahead of it, and was told no by the seller on the justification that all of his EVGA X58 boards do that and resetting CMOS fixes it.

 

I got my money back on a INAD claim, but still. Resetting CMOS fixed it for about a day. Those EVGA Classified X58 boards have not aged well.

Ah that's why then. They were really good back in the day. For non-benching I think I'd save and wait for a deal on a ASUS X58 Supercomputer. Best board if not overclocking and benching.

EDIT: Not the asrock the ASUS x58 p6t7 ws supercomputer.

If someone would find me a working X58 board in good condition and not a Chinese knockoff that didn't cost an arm, a leg and my left nut, I'd be all over it.

I've been seeing EVGA X58 Classifieds on ebay lately for around $100. Dumb luck or what they go for I'm not sure.

@NumLock21 reminds me of my Abit boards. Looking for a IC7 MAX3 if anyone has one.

Might as well be a GPU cooler!

Back when the mobo was just as important as the CPU for overclocking. Legit OC.

I'm a man of practicality over looks, and if they were practical, I wouldn't mind one.

They'd probably be low-end or ultimate baller so possibly practrical

Well old boards did have VRM heatsinks that actually cooled the VRMs... 

Surely that's a good enough reasons for old-like boards to come back!  

The best are the NB sinks on the EP45 and EP45T Extreme. A mans board 

Am I the only one that would by vintage looking boards from manufacturers past styles? The Gigabyte EPYC board is very nostalgic for me, I loved those X58 boards and it's a spitting image of them. 

If ASUS did a throwback to the X48 REX/P45 Max II Formula/X58 REX II I'd bust a nut and buy 2 or 3 lol, it's the most attractive board ever, esp with red RAM

Meh everyone has a bad day or some factor.. Maybe the Dalia Lama not, but most certainly have. And imho he looks pretty calm to be honnest  Ive seen far worse, how this is news worthy is kinda sad.

I can see having life problems and letting it out on own time, that's healthy, but I'd instantly fire anybody that was acting like that.

I used to watch the original Pokemon series with my faithful feline companion Jamal.

When I found out the theme said "Gotta catch em all" not "Got a cat Jamal" I was shooken to my foundation. Meth was my only solace. I blame anime for everything that has happened afterwards. 

I hate this man:

How would i remove the thermal paste on there, i dont think they have isopropyl here.

If o needto could i sacrifice a piece of clothing?

I use blue shop paper towels. Acetone as solvent if it's cement like.

You can rewet old paste in a pinch with pure acetone. Maybe iso alcohol would do it too.

Common knowledge but interesting as these Noctua's aren't even considered big air. What's worse is you know the AIOs are louder!

I like the "Ryzen" name. Much more than "Threadripper" or "Epyc" which sound too gaudy to me. Only thing I hated about the numbering was that they went into the whole 3,5,7 BS.

Threadripper would be a good name for a horse.

A processor with 2 more cores and a higher turbo clock is faster? Good to know these aren't basically Intel FX CPUs.

If the dump is dry it can survive. 

If it has a metal case I'd think it would survive being ran over by a dirt bike or small motorcycle. Not 100% everytime but the majority.

Slower than the Lightning Z?

Are you using a GPU? An iffy card I had would display windows desktop fine but UEFI and 3D programs would be garbled. If not try a GPU if using integrated.

Naw most people have self-control, discipline and aren't megadicks to coworkers. Fire this mouthpiece.

if the HEDT alternative to the i3-7350K is called i3-7360X then i assume the HEDT Pentium G4560 would be called G4570X - amirite?

 

it sure is. 

Where's the Celeron Extreme Edition...

Pyo is my thing, pyo.

 

Might I suggest Nya, Nyo, Nyu, or Gema?

That's what happens, pyo, when something is overused or put on display. Pyo. Somethings, pyo, have more impact and personal meaning if not flaunted. Pyo...

Something something Cultural Appropriation

Agreed. This guy's little rage fest is funny, but I think he was just having a bad day and some idiot lady kept talking on the line. He kept it off the air, so that's good. Still would never watch MicroSoftNBC for news.

I don't think those noises were real to tell the truth Lol. Why not pull the ear piece? Any half decent anchor can wing it for a show with out constant orders and direction I'd imagine.

Let's not focus on political figures here. I had to choose someone that at least respects the office because this isn't being covered by the mainstream media at all. Probably will be on Tucker Carson though tonight.

Dude has always struck me as a nutjob. STOP THE HAMMERING...

-Best cuts and news story-

-Raw footage-

The raw footage gives a great behind-the-scenes view of the Mainstream Media haha. This is glorious.

i like this one but its about 300 aud with shipping so ill save up

Yep that's probably the best block on the market.

Watercool Heatkiller and Aquacomputer Cuplex Kryos are the best two lines of CPU blocks available.
