    flibberdipper got a reaction from Mitko_DSV in Show off your old and retro computer parts   
    Ended up picking one of these up from a recycled PC at work earlier this week. At some point I might throw it into my ProSignia 165 and see how Windows ME likes it.

    flibberdipper got a reaction from da na in Will any WLAN card work in a laptop?   
    Just offering my two cents on this: it usually doesn't matter too too much. I know laptops can have differently sized antennas (so you might want to give the one with more antenna-ness to WiFi as opposed to Bluetooth), but I have yet to do it in a way that actually hurts performance enough to care.

    flibberdipper got a reaction from Darkkenrahl in Asus z690-e and 3090ti not running at PCIE 5.0 x16 or 8x   
    So for starters, the 3090Ti isn't even a PCIe 5.0 device, it uses 4.0. No matter what you do, you will not see GPU-Z indicate it using 5.0. That being said, GPU-Z reports the currently active link state. So if you're not doing anything intensive, it should fall to a lower link speed (my 1070 is sitting at PCIe 1.1 x16 right now, supposedly). If you launch the render test using the question mark symbol next to the link speed, you should see it bump up to 4.0 x16.
     
    Not that any of this is anything to worry about really, I have never seen link speed issues with PCs in my time with them.

    I would recommend checking out the PSU tier list to help you find quality units: 
    In terms of 600w vs 700w I go with a 600w one unless you need the extra power.
    For the PSU that blew up I would first check to see if it took anything with it, and also can you claim warranty for a refund to go towards the new one.

    ZFS doesn't require ECC to work at all, the people who spent thousands of hours of their lives engineering it have said so. In settings that are not mission critical a simple weekly pool scrub will suffice.
     
    Yea sure a cosmic ray flipping a bit bla bla bla data corruption... we know. It happens. ECC and a motherboard certified for it almost doubles the price, and the point of the video was to undercut off the shelf solutions.

    Eh, you can't really use the color of the plastic to judge the USB revision with 1.1 and 2.0. I've seen quite a fair few 1.1 boards/accessories use black plastic.

    Pretty normal behavior in my experience, with newer cards it seems like 3 monitors is where they start to kick up clocks.

    Picked this guy out of a recycled PC at work: A Quadro FX580. Was suuuuuuper dirty when I got it (and still is after a brief dusting). Am I ever going to need a card this old and slow? Almost certainly not. Did I get it because it's old but also a single slot blower which makes it double neat? Probably.

    If your CPU is 32bit, then there is a good chance that system is not going to be mining anywhere but in minecraft.

    The answer is still probably no. It's not like 3060 ti's get that hot.

    flibberdipper got a reaction from Needfuldoer in I bought an old computer for 47 bucks off an ebay auction, do you think it could run a minecraft java edition server?   
    From personal experience, anything much slower than a Sandy/Ivy Bridge quad-core i5 is going to struggle running modern Minecraft servers, so considering that machine has a Core 2 era Pentium... I can't imagine it's going to have a very fun time.

    iPhone 4 CDMA is here!
    It's a weird little iPhone. It looks like a 4S, but it's a 4 at heard with an A4, not an A5.
    My model is running iOS 4.2.6, which means it was not updated ever in its entire lifetime (yes I know iOS 4.2.5 exists but that was only on a few prerelease models, when the 4 CDMA was released it ran 4.2.6). How I lucked out with this I don't know.
    At the time it was locked to Verizon (and known as the Verizon iPhone), and so it won't activate as Verizon no longer activates phones without VoLTE.
    It has no SIM slot.
    Here it is compared to my 4 GSM and 4S.

    flibberdipper reacted to Levent in 32bit emulator for win 10   
    First of all, that error is usually a sign of that app being 16bit, as 32bit apps should work fine on a regular install of Win64. Second, that screenshot is showing an IIS configuration, unless this pinball is a web application, its not going to be the solution.
