  1. get a prebuilt with a terrible power supply (200-280w) and see what you can squeeze out of it without it releasing its magic blue smoke
  2. so i have an old hp 8300 elite sff pc with a proprietary power supply, both electrically and physically not compatible with a usual psu. does anyone think 240W is enough to run the motherboard, a ssd, the cpu (an i5 3470 ~80W tdp), and a slot powered graphics card, something like a rx 460 or a gtx 1050.
  3. I was just watching YouTube when it just shut off. When I attempted to power it on again the power and wireless led’s turned on then the power killed itself after about a second. I don’t know what the issue is, but I’ve had little success on the hp support forums.
  4. no im pretty sure its a different program because ive used cinebench before and havent seen the graph they show sometimes when reviewing a cpu.
  5. i had a closer look, and found a model number near a fcc label model: p231
  6. the only info ive got is is got a dms 59 port and has a nvidia logo on the pcb.
  7. anybody know what type of nvidia card this is?
  8. to be clear, im just looking for what type of conector it is. (btw ive fount its dms 59 now)
  9. As with any type of overclock, Just find a way to up the voltage. Dont go too far or you might burn them out.
  10. IBM thinkpad 2656 r31 with 1024x768 display, 40 gb HDD, intel Pentium 3 M 1.13Ghz, 1x256 mb 133 MHz sdram been in continuous use since 2002 and still in perfect working condition, except for a dead battery
  11. replaced the hard drive in a veriton n282g (basically a laptop internally), lost the screws for the heat sync so i had to hold it down with a box of small parts and a copy of windows xp.
  12. i recently pulled a toshiba MQ01ABF050 2.5" hdd out of an external drive for an old pc I'm fixing, and it makes loud clicking sounds when its seeking, i don't know if its just that way this drive works, or if its on its way out. if anyone knows, it would be great to have a second opinion
  13. Carpet and wool socks. Not going to say any more.
  14. Got my hands on an old Acer Veriton, holding down the heat sync with a container full of screws and a copy of windows xp.

    “Ghetto” doesn’t even begin to describe it.

  15. I’d you can remove the ram, it usually says the specs on the sticker
