    Came across this windows project where they are making security updates for95 nt4.0 xp and vista and the other abandoned Windows versions to keep them usable thought it could be a cool video for one of the channels http://windowsupdaterestored.com/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

    as a whole right now I can't suggest any 8 pin adapters to work with this model especially if this is your only pc. if anyone else has had luck please let us know what brand model will work with dells optiplex 7040mt or if I'm missing something I had the case all closeded up and everything routed in from the back and it still wouldn't boot for me.

    yea man finaly had time to work on it and tried 2 different addapters and couldnt get it to boot up now its giving me issues trying to get it to run on the stock psu not sure whats up with it but yea its all fireing up but i get no visual no matter the output and i think dells motherboard "customization" is mad at me.

    you know what I think I can pull it out of storage and see if I can get it to work I gave up on it and started building from scratch mostly used but its still together and in the rack ill pull it out and let you know now that I have more parts/experience I might have solutions to it not booting with the addapter which really sucked and it at the time was my main pc so I didn't want to push my luck and kill it.

    buy 16gb of 3600 ram since prices came back down and new ryzen supposedly likes that the best but Im waiting to see bench marks and im going to buy a $160 set of 4000 memory for mine
  7. jonrosalia
    I would contact Logitech and ask them if they are doing anything about it

    depends on the application I run the stock cooler on my ryzen 1600 and have a 3.9 overclock on it and its fine don't think you need a aftermarket cooler unless you really want to push the cpu or your case has low air flow

    try wiping the video card driver with a driver remover and reinstalling the gforce drivers it might be a bad install start there. but you realy should think about retiring the FX platform my 8150 was problems(stutters,lag,and a low frame max) in games even with my Rx 580 8gb in it. its night and day since i got a cheap ryzen 1600 x470 bundle.

    your at 330 watts for those before overclocking anything and the 80+ gold certification becomes more important the closer you ger to the rated wattage of your psu so personaly your building a upper mid rage pc put a 600-750 gold in it and be good to let it stretch its legs

    stop helping if you dont know what your talking about
  12. jonrosalia
    no its not look it up
  13. jonrosalia
    i say go for it if you can get it super cheap($20) and OC it to 4ghz its almost as good as a stock ryzen 1600 so you get good cpu performance just going to be missing out on new options but not a bad stop gap cpu for now

    yea thats a fairly nice laptop for the price and has wifi 5 for super fast wifi and anti dust fans being military spec

    there is thunderbolt 2 Egpus but not recommended and kinda silly. what about something like this https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-GeForce-Gigabit-TUF505DU-EB74/dp/B07QQB6DC1/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

    i would build a tower and keep using your mac on the go unless you do most of your gaming on the go. ryzen is a great option and bundle deals right now make building one very attractive with ram prices and everything where they are finally.
  17. jonrosalia
    i would look for bundle deals like this and get a 6 core 2nd 2600 now and its the same price as your original choice and a lot better https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.3868640 also if your going to build it new might as well make it pretty for the same money https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Computer-CA-H500B-W1-White-Black/dp/B07C3SQP9V/ref=sxin_1_ac_d_pm?keywords=nzxt&pd_rd_i=B07C3SQP9V&pd_rd_r=4a3658aa-4a12-41f3-8d64-4935277b0028&pd_rd_w=jburK&pd_rd_wg=ykriu&pf_rd_p=64aaff2e-3b89-4fee-a107-2469ecbc5733&pf_rd_r=82YFR5D3Q7SB29C44RH2&qid=1559488332&s=electronics and for $80 you can get realy good ryzen ram 16Gb 3000 https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Computer-CA-H500B-W1-White-Black/dp/B07C3SQP9V/ref=sxin_1_ac_d_pm?keywords=nzxt&pd_rd_i=B07C3SQP9V&pd_rd_r=4a3658aa-4a12-41f3-8d64-4935277b0028&pd_rd_w=jburK&pd_rd_wg=ykriu&pf_rd_p=64aaff2e-3b89-4fee-a107-2469ecbc5733&pf_rd_r=82YFR5D3Q7SB29C44RH2&qid=1559488332&s=electronics

    what kind of budget are you trying to stay in because there are some realy nice options all around right now depending on the price range and what part of the globe your on so we can see what the local market is like. also what are your local electronics retailers if you have access to.

    More new old stock 2006 things I started a build in this case and stoped because i changed my mind on what I want to do with it and I’m thinking of building a retro build with the open gts 8800 I got with the ultra and a period correct motherboard like a pentium extreme or something. Not going to use the power supply for anything.
  20. jonrosalia
    it may be worth something one day or it may be worthless but no mater what i got a peace of gaming history.
  21. jonrosalia
    Never opened original 8800 ultra sc I just bought from a lady who’s dad was a wolfenstine player also got a gts 8800 from her both in the box $20 each how the mighty GPUs have fallen. was the "titan" of its day price and performance

    thats the current speed or your service?
  23. jonrosalia
    did you check your internet speed?
  24. jonrosalia
    might have to much thermal paste i usualy just do a layer on the cpu pull it off and re seat it and see if it changes the temps
  25. jonrosalia
    also are you near a micro center? you can save a lot of money
