Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions
ExpiredTangent replied to CPotter's topic in LTT Releases
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 -
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.

well, thanks anyway.

i had a closer look, and found a model number near a fcc label model: p231

the only info ive got is is got a dms 59 port and has a nvidia logo on the pcb.

As with any type of overclock, Just find a way to up the voltage. Dont go too far or you might burn them out. -

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 -
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.

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

Didn’t know where to put this, so I’ll just leave it here -
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.
