It should just work the same. Occasionally windows will freak out when you change something major and demand a new license. But that probably won't happen.

Saw some of these picks on the Gunique discord the other day! Keep it up!

I've been painting and sanding panels for a little while now, (going between 400 and 1000 grit), and it feels like I'm just "waxing on, waxing off" all of my work. Should I put on more coats between sanding? (Giving me a thicker layer to work with) I would love some advice as this is my first real "mod".

That. is. BEAUTIFUL. Plans to sell or make the files public?

I would love nothing more in this world to mod an up and coming build to throw up a splash page of my choosing when the wrong password is entered too many times in windows. I know that changing registry values allows you to alter things like the default background and startup/login sound in previous versions of windows. Would it be possible to do this sort of thing or possibly link an event trigger to the brute force protection? Google fu has been failing me in my research when I look for this sort of thing because of all the people googling "How to brute force". Would love any incite into this or links to articles!

Thanks for the update! "Tracks" are most likely really Traces. They're the lines on the circuit board that carry power or data around the circuit board. Likely the traces got burned out by someone either overclocking or doing something they shouldn't.... Either way you should be good. Ebay doesn't mess around with refunds. If you want another GPU, I would recommend checking out r/hardwareswap. I often find better deals over there than ebay, (or anywhere else), when dealing with people with 5+ trades etc. Good luck with your refund and future card!

I'd ask for $650-$700 for a quick sale. People will probably scream and wine about that price here on the sub, but my used market is weird AF right now. You could probably make more parting it out though tbh. The SF600 is selling for $90-$100 used on r/harwareswap and I bet you could get around $400-$450 for the CPU+GPU. You'll likely make about 15% more doing local or craigslist but it won't likely sell as fast.

I'm all for custom solutions. Love the idea. But the problem you're going to run into here is just how custom this is actually going to be. Lets say you went for a truly small design on the radiator, what fans would you use? For the sake of this discussion, Noctua is one of the best fan makers at the moment we'll say that you could use 2x 40mm noctuas on each end giving it the total dimensions of 40mm x 80mm. There are now a couple of things that you're going to have to do. That are universal to making this kind of project Find a radiator you want to chop up. You're not going to find a small radiator to fit this kind of niche. Alphacool makes some pretty small ones that I used before, but they pretty much stop being useful to this design at 80mm. (Choosing a thinner rad may also help you, usually the thinner the radiator the higher the fin density.) In order to do this you're going to need to find a way to direct air down a long tunnel filled with the radiator tubes and fins. (Figure 1) Normally I would suggest chopping a bigger rad and fabricating the ends (to close up the return loop) yourself, but this kind of fabrication would probably require tig welding because of the size. Each of the fin tubes would need to be moved and reconnected. (figure 2) As you might assume this would be a massive amount of work unless you can find something similar to modify. Denned actually replied with the closest current rad that I've seen in production. Even if you managed to do all of this, you're going to need to leak check the ever living SH*T out of it. Tig can be hard and you can actually melt through the side of what you're working with really easily, (might close the pipe too). If I were you, I'd suggest using the rad Denned suggested and seeing if you can integrate that into the design. Most of the time AIOs use DC-LT impeller pumps. Alpha cool sells them individually if you're interested. They even provide a 3d rendering if you want it. Just don't ask them how you need to introduce it into a design to get it to work. Actually sent 3-4 emails to different people over there and nobody knows. (lol) You can find super sff pump toppers for them made out of plexi/acrylic if you need one though. I'd love to know your gameplan, I kinda enjoy this sort of engineering.

Yup, that's a great option. Do the bios update first and then bring the card down and offer the guys at the shop $5 to see if it powers up. It's pretty simple so I doubt that they'd charge you if you said, "Not looking for a full diagnosis, I've been playing around with this for a few days and I've gotten to the point where I wonder if it's my motherboard. Can you plug this in and see if you get any kind of signal from the HDMI?" Let me know how it goes!

Semper has a great reply here, basically I do the same thing for fun occasionally. It doesn't make sense to do it, but you do it to see if you can. I I think you'll also find that it won't be as effective as you need. I'd be more interested in you creating a DOC for the laptop that connects with disconnect fittings and contains the RAD and pump for the system inside. I guess you'll run into problems there too though, after you replace the main heatsink it would be difficult to cool without the pump... I'd love to see what you settle on though.

I mean... you can always try that. The only time I've ever seen Bios get in the way of the GPU is when the GPU is running a different kind of bios that the mobo can't use. I think the last pairing I saw was an OEM hp/Dell with an i7- 2600 and a GTX 780. Card couldn't even put out a signal. But in this case your card is new enough. You don't happen to have another computer or friend with a computer that could help you narrow down your issue to purely GPU do you?

Well, depending one what kind of setup your school is running, the only two options I see are either rdp into a PC and use it to play the game, or setup your own VPN using a protocol that the school uses as well. That way they can't block it without targeting you specifically. (When I say setup your own VPN, I mean to your home network)

Think how much more information he's learning right now trying to get around the rules

Theoretically. But there are several different ways that we sort out internet traffic in businesses and schools. I use packet filtering and black listing. They generally cover all methods. Exactly what game are you trying to play?

Layer 4 is packet filtering. Basically it matters which router/firewalls you're going through. At home you wouldn't have that kind of limitation unless for some reason all the students had an "always on" school vpn. Go oldschool. Swing around the filter using a Proxy site. Whenever we wanted to get around blacklist filtering at our schools we'd connect to a site (proxy.com hypothetically) and it would let you brows through their domain. IE. Proxy.com/cornhub/singles-looking-to-get-husked-in-your-area.html. Obviously I made up the name of a riske site and link but you get the gist from that. You could take a really long route around and access the VPN through that.

Coming from someone that had this start about a year ago, there is no fix as of right now. There is a reddit for Destiny tech support, (which I joined looking for a resolution), and it's been months and months of people reporting the same thing with varying hardware (all of which is very capable) with no response from Bungie. The game is super unstable when pushed to higher and higher framerates on better hardware. Kinda funny imo. Sorry to break the news. I urge you to look around more but this has been my experience.

It's either Layer 4 filtering or there is a default lockdown on VPN sites through the router. How are you accessing them? Just going to their site?

Used RX580 worries me. It was a prime target for miners and often when they fuck up cards with power or fan settings, the outputs start to go. Have you tried using a different GPU output?

The nearest thing I can think of was a thin-atx case I was pulling for in development this year. Costs for something that small and complex made it ~$500. Big mobo, small footprint is rare but not unheard of. But start looking to throw in 3.5" drives and a standard atx psu? Good luck. Better to look for an ITX for that cpu and see if you can get some 2.5" laptop drives for storage.

3900x will most likely be a better resale value if things continue to trend as they are right now.

This could be a couple of things, to start, what model of 1050 is this? Most of the time I see 1050's without external power connectors because they require <75w and that can be supplied straight from the PCI connector. Though this does sound like it's power related.

Is there a restore procedure associated with the phone in question? Because you may just need those files on your phone.

Look at the requirements for flashing the bios on the MSI page. Then check the properties of the Flash drive. Should tell you the filesystem there. Sometimes it needs to be fat32 or NTFS. Though I've seen it swapped before.

DDU to wipe was a good idea. Next thing that you should look at doing is a flashing the ROM. I've had several issues with GPUs before that artifact like that and if a quick driver update doesn't fix it, normally it's hardware related. Flashing the rom again can fix the issue, though it's not considered the easiest, the next thing I normally do is strip the card down and toss it in the oven. I say RMA that sucker. Should still be in warranty. Best do that instead of the rom flash. (though for anyone else with this issue, I'd flash it for sure)

While they do have the same socket name (LGA1151) the sockets pins do different things. So while the short answer is NO. It's not compatible, (look at a 6700k or 7700k *with bios upgrade). The technical answer is, you can mod the bios if you're a crazy bastard and make it work. But it's insane and the time it would take would be just worth buying a different compatible board.
