I'm looking for a GPU. This rtx 2080 is priced at 160euros, but the display output only works on 1 hdmi and 1 dp. Is this a bargain or not a smart buy? Would appreciate a second opinion. Specs: AsRock B450M Steel Legends Ryzen 5 5600x Radeon HD6970 (A gpu my friend had left over it pulls 250W on paper but cant be tracked with software) 16GB 2400 MHz CL17 (overclocked to 3200 with cl18) generic ram Corsaire CX500 80+ bronze (Used it on a Vega56 that died which pulls same ammount of power, not really smart but should work) 512GB+128GB 1TB HDD Here is the link for the listing https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/rtx-2080-gainward-phantom-glh/2710799223-225-2458

Nah man too weak, I play CS2 and PUBG mostly and those wouldn't run that very competitively. And a bit hard to find at that price at least in Croatia. Maybe aliexpress 570 for 50euro but long shipping. Was thinking of a Strix version of a Vega 56 (which runs everything well) with a beefy cooler that could probably handle the dry thermalpaste for arround 90euros. Or I could save a bit more and buy a 1080 for 130 euros which I can repaste and replace the pads if it runs hot safely.

I have an ASrock B450M motherboard with an R5 5600x. I put an HD 6970 in it. It didn't post a signal nor did the gpu fans spin (It was getting a bit warm after a while) the psu and cpu fans did apin. I tried it in my roommate's PC and it works in an lga1200 h410 motherboard. That was the fourth gpu that didn't work in my pc so I took his 1660 super that works and it booted right up in my PC. Is there a bios setting or something that might be different that I can change so that the old radeon would work. If you are interested what to look out for when cleaning a gpu and how I got in the situation so I have to use an HD 6970 you can read down below. My Vega 56 GPU died (it was acting a bit weird and crashing until I tweaked the voltages, clocks and a gpu bios flash so it worked flawlessly for almost a year). Bought a new Vega 56 as it was the best price per performance. It was a bit toasty so I repasted and replaced thermal pads so I could get a better overclock and less noise. VERY BAD IDEA. VEGA 56/64 cards with the HBM2 memory have the GPU core and the vram right next to eachother connected by fragile gold traces protected with almost nothing. I knew to look out for that and only touch the silicone when cleaning the old paste. Was really careful and bought everything to do the job and broke it with a qtip (repasted successfully at least 10 gpus before). Then my cousin gave me a 1650 super which also didn't work in my nor my roommates pc. My friend gave me his old 6970 just for a display card for college or light gaming. Would be pretty nice to get at least that working as my laptop is broken and I study data science so I need my own pc to work on projects comfortably until I save some money for something better.

Have an old vt6212l PCI to usb. Cant find win 10 drivers for it. Any help?

It was the microcode, menaged to boot it once on the old microcodes with win 10. Flashed a custom bios, cpu works fine now.

Have an Gigabyte GA-G31M-SL2 LGA775 mobo in a secondary PC. Replaced an old celeron for a Xeon E5430 in it. On the old hard drive it booted win 7 with no problems. Formated the hard disk and installed a fresh win 10 on the drive with my main rig, moved the hard drive back expecting to boot, but it won't, swapped the cleron and it works. Will the microcodes and a flashed bios help?

It was on the cheaper side. But still, its new.

I'm a broke highschooler fixing PCs and Playstations for a little extra cash. Got my neighbours PS2 that I Jailbroke and the disc reader on it is broken. Purchased for him a generic 32GB USB drive (which I can't really afford myself) and and started putting games on it. I had to use a program called USBUtil to split the .iso files so they can fit on a Fat32 format. Went all good with the first 4 games and on the fifth it stopped with a wierd error. I probbably locked it then somehow in the program and the drive is locked with read only. I tried to fix it in every possible way, using cmd, regedit and programs for it. They all say that the action is complete and succesfull but it's not. It just goes back to it. Restarted my PC multiple times and tried again but nothing. Also, I have an empty folder called DVD and the .iso files on the root of the USB. In properties of the files the only file with the read only checked is the empty "DVD" folder. I uncheck it, press apply, go to properties and the checkmark goes back. Is my USB Toast or is there a way to force it out of read only?

Well, plug the dvi/vga into the Graphic card.

Maybe you have a bad/low health hard disk and it can't load the map in time. Download Disk Sentinel. Check your health and there are a lot of interesting info on there.

Happened to my friend, did you plug the DVI/VGA into the motherboard or GPU. Check, could Happen

I have an old GT 9500 1GB DDR3 I don't really care about. The fan was broken and I got it for free a while ago. Decieded to play around with it to see how far I Can push it. DIY-ed a cooler and now it's not exceeding 55 °C with the max settings I could get on MSI Afterburner with the max voltage. I wonder if there is some software which would allow me to push more voltage into it since there is a lot of temperature room so I could get a bit better overclock.

On a scale from 1-10 how likely it is that it'll let the magic smoke out. I don't care for the PSU's at all but it would suck if the rest of the components die+ I could get electricuted and die from it.

I don't know if it's 300W. Just if it isn't is dual PSU a option.

So, i just upgraded my old pc to a lga 1155 board with a 1050 Ti and have a shit ton of spare parts. And my broke friend wants a pc that can do some gaming. I have 4 ancient PC's (one is really old but not old as the rest of them+ 2 of them are not at my place), The build is: Gigabyte lga 775 board, Pentium E5700 3.0GHz, Asus gtx 6502GB (the version that doesn't require any aditional power connectors) a 60GB SSD, a 40GB and a 320GB HDD. The problem is the PSU.1 PC has a 230W PSU,2. has a 160W PSU,3. probably has a 300W PSU (not sure) and the 4th probably has one which is less than 300W (almost certain). I saw at a yt video Dual PSU's. He didn't plug the 4 pin connectors in the adapter and the psus dont have 2 4pin connector, just one for the CPU and the motherboard uses a 20pin. So I could get the motherboard working and have enough PSU power to power the PC. Just want some opinions on this if this is possible or just a really dumb idea thats gona let the magic smoke out.
