    ProjectBox153 got a reaction from BoxTurtle in Could I use a gpu with this motherboard?   
    Yes, why couldn't you?

    ProjectBox153 got a reaction from Kilrah in Cpu not responding, low power, no signal from gpu   
    Along with straightening out the pins of the USB port did you disconnect the cable connecting them to the motherboard? Disconnect the front USB ports from the board and try turning it on.

    ProjectBox153 got a reaction from minibois in RAM confusion   
    You won't be spending more money if you return the wrong RAM and buy the proper RAM. Don't get an adapter, get the right part.

    ProjectBox153 got a reaction from DarkLord76865 in XP to 7 upgrade performance   
    Web browsing on a Prescott P4 is a bad idea. Those machines are just too slow for daily use these days. Windows 7 should run alright, but it'll definitely be slower, and it'll use more power than a more modern machine. However, they can still be useful for some things. I've got a machine with a 2.4GHz Northwood P4 that I've been using to play some older games and stuff. When I'm not doing that it's running Windows Server 2003 R2 as a NAS, and it's been excellent.

    When data recovery off a failed SSD is economically feasible.

    Title is wrong. It's hilarious to watch people have meltdowns over supply and demand.
     
    EDIT: My comment won't make sense since threads were merged. My point still stands.

    Which size of the OptiPlex 7060 do you have?

    If you signed a contract or other legal agreement with them trying to circumvent their own hardware protection could void your service agreement and potentially be illegal.
     
    The only assistance I can offer is check the IP of your Default Gateway. This usually contains the WebUI for home routers. You'll still need login credentials though.

    ProjectBox153 got a reaction from BTGbullseye in Can i buy a 3060 and still run my 1030 in the x4 slot   
    At that point you'd just be wasting the 1030 with it in your system. It'll be using power, creating heat, and taking up an expansion slot, and YouTube isn't a hard task at all. You should be perfectly fine to run both monitors from one card.

    Is it smart? No. Is it fine for what I need? Yep. My point is that a hard drive should last more than a few years, and they usually do.

    Uhhh, ok. Basically all of my computing experience, as well as my own collection of hard drives (most of which work, btw), disagrees with that. One of my servers next to me has 2 drives that are over 15 years old, and they're still doing great.

    A Windows 98 SE machine for a client of mine. New Intel Motherboard with latest BIOs P21 which allows Pentium III's above 800 MHz.
    The D815EEA2 only supports up the P III 1.13 256K The D815EEA2U From intel official says P III 1.2 256K The D815EEA2U with the P21 bios will support the P IIIs 1.4Ghz 512K How to distinguish the the models apart, The silk screen printing for the Mobo model. For the D815EEA2 the silk screen label is the right of the bios battery, The D815EEA2U the label is to the left of the bios battery. Also the Pentium III is the Pentrium III-S (Server CPU) Which is has 512kb of L2 Cache.

    Im thinking the card is dead. I have already purchased a GT 1030. Thank you for all the help anyone was trying to provide.

    Actually, it does run doom. 
    It can even run Quake at some level of playability, although aiming with an accupointer is even worse than playing on mobile.

    Still rocking this case. Can't quite find anything newer that has the same cool factor. 

    Edit: Forgot to hook up the old Antec Veris in the front too - the old thing still works with windows 10.

    ProjectBox153 reacted to NattyKathy in What would I have to underclock an i7-9700k so that I wouldn't have to use a CPU cooler for a couple weeks?   
    This is a terrible idea. The IHS is made for transferring heat, not dissipating it.

    ProjectBox153 reacted to flibberdipper in What would I have to underclock an i7-9700k so that I wouldn't have to use a CPU cooler for a couple weeks?   
    So assuming you could underclock, undervolt, and disable cores to the point of being able to run it without any cooler whatsoever, by the time you did that you'd be better off browsing the internet with an abacus.

    Have you tried testing a linux distro to check that its not a driver issue.
     
    Otherwise there basically all the same for your use. This cheap one should be fine https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-1000Mbps-Gigabit-Ethernet-supported/dp/B003CFATNI/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=1gbit+nic&qid=1615322690&sr=8-2

    It sure is. I'm not much of a fan of RGB everywhere, so I usually have everything (motherboard, CPU fan and case fans) set to a static color or off, but even then it still looks good.
