The shroud looks like anything from a 760ti to a Dell / ASUS OEM 1080ti. Although the ports may show that it's not a super old card, I'm still hesitant.

Hook it up and use GPUZ. It detects cards which have had their drivers flashed to make them show up as other cards.

Hey, @GOTSpectrum (ben?) and @palespartan, If y'all need any help with data collection, I *should* still have my scraper from last year. I'll run it in the background just so y'all have duplicate data - better safe than sorry. Anybody else working on it this year? I've been off the forum for a while.

Although I'm quite clueless regarding this, It's quite an interesting topic. I wonder if there are any others doing similar things albeit on a smaller scale.

In this case, the speaker isn't necessary due to you having a debug code. What motherboard, CPU and GPU do you have? Does it boot-cycle? Any fans ramp up or anything?

Have you tried going through these steps? Some won't be applicable, but it's a good starting point. Genearlly, I'd pay careful attention to #2/13 (CPU), #4/5 (GPU), #6/7/8 (RAM) and 23.

The fakes were alright (At least 300 others bought it). Besides the non-descript shroud, it looked real(ish) - like a card used in prebuilts. The product didn't end up matching the images.

Buying three 1060 cards off of eBay from China... they weren't even cheap, yet they still were fakes.

You have to balance between noise and thermal throttling. As long as you're alright with the temperatures and performance (It's not throttling), then you can turn the fan's RPM down. It's personal preference really. I'd try turning the fans down to a low RPM where you're fine with the noise and then check temperatures. If they're alright, then you can leave them there (although you should make sure you have a couple degrees of leeway.

Rossman doesn't know CPUs - it's not his specialty. He basically does macs and macs alone. If it's not one, he's just another average joe. @AYDANN6ix9ine If you're willing to search up a pin-diagram, you may've been lucky and broken 2 ground pins (although the chance is low)

Limiting the market to local will radically drop the value. There's a small market for broken CPUs (I'm assuming the two pins broken aren't ground-pins). Honestly, in a local market, I'd value it at less than $50, but this depends on your local market. On eBay, I'd value it around $80, but I'd keep up with this Ebay posting to get a better estimate - the value may be different than my estimate. These are the only broken 2700xs I could find on eBay.

Although a single video lets you get a feel for the format, I think we'll have to wait until more similar videos are released to get a better feel for that sort of content. Sure, it may not be instantly appealing; however, who knows if we'll grow to enjoy it or if they'll adjust the content to make it a better fit for the audience. Right now, I see similarities between it and James' foray into the field of comedy. Sure, it may not be perfect now, but they'll tone it over time. I personally see it as a possible opportunity to have hosts that usually don't make regular appearances, but there's no way to tell if they'll take it in that direction. I'm really interested in what others think of this too. What do you guys want out of TalkLinked?

How certain are you that the pump isn't working? If you have it connected correctly and you put your hand against the pump and you can't feel it vibrating, then the pump is broken - There's nothing you can do about that except to get a refund or replacement.

In page 5/6 of the motherboard's manual, it should show the correct port to connect the pump to: Of course you should double check with the manual you have in-hand, but they should be identical. EDIT: The CPU_OPT port might be the technically correct port; however, since the manual makes no mention of pumps with it, I'd just go with the SYS_FAN3_PUMP port. Either way, no damage should come to the pump from connecting to the wrong port.

First off, what the hell are you using 40GBs or RAM on in a laptop? Answering your question - I think that RAM prices will continue to drop; however, I don't think it'll drop significantly farther (Below $110), so unless you're really tight on money, I'd buy it now. A fab could break or something miscellaneous could happen - driving prices back up. There are many things that we wouldn't be able to know of (If we did - you'd bet that I would be in the stock market right now).

Yep. It's planned on being a reoccurring thing. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about... this past year has been the most productive by a longshot. This year's monthly minimum (~2.2B) is quite a bit higher than the highest maximum ever reached before folding month (~1.5B). LTT's F@H is, although in decline right now, still better than ever - and I'm sure it'll be reinvigorated when November comes around again.

What version of the GTX 1050ti do you have? What power supply do you have? Some 1050TIs require a 6-pin power connector while others don't. You could try wiping all the drivers using DDU, but I'd wait on that because it can cause other issues.

Thanks for the testing Alex. Many new builders always want to go AIO because they're "just better". This video will surely help inform some about the advantages and drawbacks of each cooling solution.

Everybody spies on everybody else - that's just a fact of life now. Hell, the United States and Russia legalized spying on each other in order to regulate the safety of each country. I think it is the Open Skies Treaty. Broad data collection of users (ex. Facebook, google, etc) is well documented. They keep data of you as a person and as a group, but you've signed up for that so that's expected. As for companies that you're not aware - yeah, they're collecting data too; however, it's not *specifically* about you. Although it definitely could be, that data isn't as useful for them.
