  1. Given its TDP is 185W, maybe 2 at best, assuming the rest of the hardware like CPU, MoBo, etc don't exceed the 550w power output, but even then you'd be getting close to maxing that PSU out. Given its TDP is 185W, maybe 2 at best, assuming the rest of the hardware like CPU, MoBo, etc don't exceed the 550w power output, but even then you'd be getting close to maxing that PSU out. Would not recommend running 2 of those cards on a 550W PSU.
  2. I've been using the Rosewill ARC 450 for 3 and 1/2 years, no issues or anything like that, as in it hasn't exploded.
  3. Considering they're all within a few percents of each other it seems like it could be reasonable? https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/Rating/4040 But to me it seems odd that the GPUs they were benched with is such a low-tier https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/17293852 (GT 710) https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/17428983 (GT 730) https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/17389094 (GTX 970)
  4. My teacher is donating me a MacBook Pro and I gave her a USB stick to put some of her files like photos and word documents on, and now that they are on the USB drive they are grayed out and cannot be opened. Is it possible to make the files accessible on a PC or does it have to be done from a Mac? The only explanation I've found is that the date resets on the files and makes it inaccessible, how can I do this on a PC, as that's all I have access to at the moment? For context, I'm at school, she has the USB drive with the files, but not the MacBook
  5. We're in US of A, it's no big deal if you can't find anything
  6. Update. Computer Store is a total rip off. Wanted $15 a GB for DDR2 because "it's no longer produced" or $20 a GB for "Gaming RAM" No q6600, and last GPUs they had were RX 500 series and GTX 10 series that were all sold out. RIP Optiplex Dream (for now)
  7. Alright, I know the computer store in town has loads of DDR2 ram, and hopefully an old q6600 or something similar. Going to try to go there tomorrow and shimmy out a nice price deal with them.
  8. CPU + RAM... We're talking q6600 and 4GB RAM since that's what Dell's special SFF supports. I figure that CPU and 4GB of DDR2 would run maybe another $30. The only issue I see is this PSU, I know it could handle a 750ti, or something that runs straight off MB power. I'll do some more looking into the GPUs you all listed.
  9. 1280x1024 would probably be it's main resolution.
  10. My friends has a Dell Optiplex 755 - With top of the line specs /s Core 2 Duo E6550 @2.33GHz 2GB of the speediest DDR2 RAM Somehow running 64bit Win 10 and integrated or onboard graphics. solid 275w? PSU It can't run CSGO, So, What's the cheapest GPU that we can plop in this horse to make it play it? Probably looking for $30 USD tops.
  11. From a similar thread I've read it's generally safer than buying a "regularly" used card since a "regular" used card would have been used for games, going through loads of heat cycles, when is not good for the card. VS. a mining card is generally run at probably 60C-70C constant with few cycles. The main thing on used mining cards that I've read about dying is the cooling fans. Since the fans will generally have to run at high RPMs to make up for the limited breathing room they have they work harder than "regular" use and will probably be the first thing to die in a mining card.

  13. Title kind of sums it up, with my ISP I get ~30mbps down and ~3mbps up, vs on my LTE Hotspot I get ~5mbps down and ~20mbps upload (why my phone company has high up, idk). Is it possible to have my main ISP connection (ethernet) be limited to download stream and then through my iPhone use the hotspot for my upload stream, as trying to live stream always fails or ends up with choppy output as I end up dropping frames.
  14. Easy. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/bitmain/antminer-s9-miner/
