AM2 retention bracket broke again
Cracklingice replied to Cracklingice's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
ugh. Can't even watch youtube on this Dell.. -
Anyone else have to replace their AM2 retention bracket semi regularly? Seems like about every 3 years my bracket decides to break and cause the cooler to hang off the cpu. It's not a stupendously large cooler either. Just the factory cooler that came with the Gateway. I guess at least it's not like the Dell (sempron 3400 single core ugh) I'm on now that uses a custom thing so I can get any AM2 retention module to fix it again. Yay for thermal shutdown protection.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/B2gKBP Something like this. Yeah the mouse and keyboard are pretty basic, but I'm not a big fan of most gaming mice. I need exactly 5 buttons. One on each side of the mouse, the standard two and the middle button of pressing down the wheel. Ok really I could live without pressing the wheel, but I need the wheel. Raid 0 on the SSDs and raid 1 on the HDDs.

Use the top slot. PCIe slots: PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards. Source http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/H97M Pro4.pdf page 23 of pdf (17 of maunal)

http://ark.intel.com/products/88969/Intel-Core-i7-6820HK-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz Intel product specs put it on FCBGA1440 so it is non replaceable. Well it is, but you'd need specialized equipment.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i7-4770-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3-90-GHz-SR149-/222184841709?hash=item33bb3fa1ed:g:KdEAAOSwygJXhZaY Would have to double check to make sure your board supports it, but it should. It's still fourth generation. K skus for overclocking seem to be about 60 bucks more than the one I linked. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i7-4770k-3-5-Ghz-Quad-Core-/162131324035?hash=item25bfc7ac83:g:1n0AAOSww9VXgRdu I wouldn't think for the 210 usd you've requested that you could fit a motherboard and cpu that would be an upgrade from where you're at now. You can then turn around and sell the i5 4440 on ebay for around 125-150 and use that cash to get a solid state drive if you want. That would put you in pretty good spot.
