Oh sorry forgot my phone was saving as heic for images

I picked up a motherboard that is supposed to be working for cheap, I was checking it over before trying to use it and I noticed what looked like a bent pin, they are so tiny I can't get a good solid look. I have fixed bent pins before, but never on pins of this size, should I try to fix this or just get a refund. I only paid 150. I didn't want to put my 11900k in till I know for sure if this will damage it. I have a 10700 I could try but I need to pull that out of a working system 20220915_153625.heic 20220915_153612.heic 20220915_153540.heic

Oh sorry. Not worried about weight but a 17 is to big for my backpack. I own a asus g73jh and it's a 17". It doesn't fit in the back pack I take to work. I don't have to carry it for long hours so weight isn't a issue. I always have a place to plug in so battery also isn't a issue as well

Looking for a gaming laptop I can bring with me to work. My 2 main games I play are ffxiv and gw2. I toss in some other games once a while like apex, destiny 2 and overwatch. I'm not looking for 120fps or 4k. Just something that works and I don't have to deal with fps drops. I would like to stay around $800. The most I can put into this would be $1,000 but that is a bit of a stretch right now unless I put it off for a couple more months. Work is slow right now still thanks to a certain on going problem.

Looking for a monitor to mainly run final fantasy xiv on. I want to get a 1440p but not sure what is good for that. I never bought anything other then 1080p before. Other games I play are destiny 2 overwatch and a few others. Most of my time is on ffxiv. The game looks horrible on my current monitor and the screen is slowly getting darker

After changing out my mb my 980 ti are now to close together and the top card now overheats if it gets used at all, so i had to take one out. while digging around i found my 2 gtx 970s and the water blocks to go with them. i also just noticed the water blocks say 980 on them for the front and back. what are the chances of getting them to work on my 980 ti? could they be modded? i would see how they fit but i have to wait till i get more tim, i have enough to do each card 1 time right now

im getting 50-70fps with no other players around on a single card

Destiny 2 is my main game i play, it plays at around 70-110 fps with both cards apex diablo 3 monster hunter world warframe (just got it) rainbow six siege witcher 3

i have all the fittings i need, i just have to try and find blocks for them, ones i have found are still $100+ and im not willing to pay that for a block that old. the monitor i am using is a msi optix g27c curved 1920x1080 144hz

I have to do this right now with using very little money, i am medically not fit to work for a little while still.

4790k msi z97 Gaming 9 ac Msi gtx 980 ti gaming 6 x2 16 gb ddr3 gskill evga supernova 1000 g2

I have a ton of space, its a corsair obsidian 900d, heavy mods already done to it. just not sure how i would mod it now for the other gpu to be held up

I have been looking into this for most of the day and i couldnt find anything on what could be used for sli on this board. the user guide says it supports sli BUT it only has a page for single card set up. same for the website. SLI works on the stop 2 x16 slots. but it makes me stop gpu idle temp 62c. and under load it breaks 90c in just mins.

i moved the card into the bottom slot, bios said it was running the slots as x8x4, it booted into windows fine but everything froze but the mouse. couldnt click anything and no keys worked. i rebooted, and was still the same. i had to remove the bottom card to stop the freezing. so im guessing i cant use the top and bottom slots then?

I have a MSI z97 Gaming 9 ac, the user guide says it supports 2 way sli. i have my 2gpu in the 1st and 2nd slots but that puts the bottom card against the fans of the top one.Everything i find for this board says it supports "x16, x8/x8, x8/x4/x4" so does that mean only the top 2 x16 slots will do x8/x8 or can i use the top and bottom slots so i can get my cards away from each other?

I have been trying to sell them along with my 2 refence gtx 970, market for used pc parts around here is almost non existing.

I got my mobo I originally bought fixed after years of having it and finally using it. But it has a issue I didn't even think about. It puts my msi 980ti right on top of eachother and now the top gpu hits 90c after a short ammout of time with any game. The motherboard is the msi z97 gaming 9 ac. Is it possible for me to use the top and bottom pcie slots? Or any advice to get the Temps down? I originally was going to water cool the gpu but never got around to getting blocks for them.

Results so far. It use to not show anything in the pcie slots. I need to try and get it to boot next.

Here are some better photos now that I have a much better light on it. I did some more adjusting, not sure how much better I can do without a magnifying glass, the zoom stops being clear after a certain point

You would be correct with how it was bent, i will try to adjust it more, also get better photos, thank you for the help.

i wish i could get the photos better but my phone will not focus on it any better then this.

Okay this has a bit of a story behind it. Back in 2016 i bought a new motherboard for my 4790k, i was changing chases and wanted to do a color change to match, after alot of searching i found a motherboard i liked to work with, z97 msi gaming 9. i could only find it for sale on ebay. i got it just to find out the pcie lanes wouldnt work. The person i got it from on ebay kept saying it was a new board and nothing was wrong with it. wouldnt give me a refund and ebay woudnt help ether. so i tried my luck with msi. MSI even tried to figure out what was wrong and was going to let me send it in to get it fixed, BUT it ended up bring a board not sold in the US so they wouldnt fix it for me... i ended up buying a msi gaming 6 and built my pc. Now i have the issue that the pcie lanes will occasionally stop detecting my gpus, it looks like the wight of the cards is finally braking them. the computer has been moved alot over the years since then. i was cleaning out my old pc stuff and i found my gaming 9 motherboard. i was going to use it as decoration. i was cleaning dust off of it when i noticed a bent pin. I tried to fix it using Linus method. i want to try and see if this fixed it but i dont want to burn out my cpu. how does this look?

since when does ek blocks come that clear!!! that is super sexy, i love my build but that looks slick

I get everything i can from them. This is a small sample of stuff i got with them. i have 0 issues and they have helped with everything i have emailed them about with custom orders for blocks.

My 2nd liquid pc still a work I progress, waiting for my correct color ridged fittings and glass tubes. Not sure if I'm going to put a 2nd 980ti or wait for the next generation gpu and just put my 2nd loop on the one card for now. Just wanted to share what I have done now!
