I want emphasize that I am well aware these GPUs are terrible by today's standards. I am not looking to do intensive gaming on them (Maybe Skyrim at best). I simply want to know which of these three are worst in general when it comes to gaming. I am also aware that drivers from AMD/Nvidia for them is not going to be recent. I am not looking for that. Just the general gaming performance if not hindered with any other bottlenecks. GTX 650 2 GB RX 550 2 GB GT 730 2 GB GDDR5 I attempted to do research on which one is the weakest in gaming performance, but information comparing them seems spoty at best, I think largely due to them coming out at much different dates.

I found it! I was Googling around at other motherboards based on the images of the model number I have, and came across the image below. I have the exact pin layout on this board as well. So it seems this motherboard has the same pin layout in that spot as the one I was looking at. And now the motherboard comes to life. Also the board has some new problems though, but I am going to do my standard troubleshooting to fix that.

Here they are. I would also be fine with having that person you mentioned take a look if it is not too much trouble.

Thank you! I actually do not see any set of pins with a label of "SW1" around them, but it is entirely possible I am just not seeing it (I have the motherboard housed inside of a cardboard box with cables and wires connected to it, obscuring it a bit). I did see the set of pins with a white base at the bottom right as depicted in the picture. I also tried to jump it with two separate power connectors, using pin 6 and 8 as indicated in the picture. However, this failed to make it power on. I also just noticed that while my motherboard is mostly the same as the one in the picture, it is lacking the 4 pin fan connector on the bottom left. I am not sure if this would have a significant difference for anything, but I suspect it may mean that it is a slightly different revision than what is shown in the picture. I am going to attempt to take a picture of the board/system itself and post it on here.

There does not seem to be any pin layout on that board that is the same as the top part of the first picture. I believe this is due to the particular revision of the board, which is shown in the second picture.

I am having trouble locating a manual or a proper diagram of the pin layout for the front panel of this motherboard. I know the parts (including the PSU) I have connected to the board are working and seated properly. I used one of the pics below as a reference with two separate power switches, but the system did not come to life. It seems that any online manual for this board is ether behind a paywall, subscription, or cookies are required for a sketchy website. Acer seems to no longer have a manual for the board.

I see. I hope it works with both of my PCs. One has a Ryzen 3600 + RX 6600 and the other a Ryzen 5800X + an RX 6700 XT.

Thank you. I will certainly look into Xenia, but out of curiosity, can a hard drive be formatted with FATX and be used in a 360?

I am wondering if I can place a 2.5 inch drive inside of a 360 drive case and it would work? This would be for the fat version. Preferably an SSD. My current Xbox 360 is dying so I am considering getting a “new” one from eBay. While I know most games for the Xbox original and 360 library are available through Steam or other online game platforms, a few of the games run super poorly on PC. For example; Two Worlds. Also Xbox 360 consoles are kind of cheap on eBay right now, so I am thinking the time is right to replace mine. I fear that if I wait too long, prices for the console will start to creep upward. This happened with the PS2, and I am glad I got my new one when I did. For a while, you could a new complete system for $50 or less. Now a used one for just the console is above $60 on eBay from reputable sellers with the US. I also want to download all my games to the drive, which I estimate is just below 85GB worth of storage. My research into this was inconclusive. I am aware that inside the housing, the drive is a standard 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA connector, but I still have lots of questions. Can you just plop in a drive and away I go? Does it require certain firmware to work right? What is the SATA speed of the connector? Do certain versions/revisions of the 360 console work better or differently than others with drives?

Good point. I did notice the heat pipes, but for some reason did not take them into account. However, I did not think to match the holes themselves.

The text on the top of the card, the style of the card and the fact that it looks like it uses a 6 pin and 8 pin connectors tells me this is the "Gigabyte WINDFORCE 3X GeForce GTX 970". I mostly did a process of elimination using PCPP, chipping away at which card it was one little fact at a time, until there was only one left. The GTX 700 series lacks the text on the top of the card and the 1000 series has a completely different design.

I also like to sometimes play guess the part. I am going to try my hand at figuring out what the GPU is with just that picture.

Ya, you know, just add two 9 GB modules and you are set!

I was not sure exactly where to post this, so I hope this would be the most appropriate area. I scroll through Craigslist every now and then. I sometimes find some pretty bad deals, or ads for PCs and parts that the poster clearly has no clue what they have and/or a general idea of it's market value. But this . . . this is something else in my opinion. Take a look at this . . . "gem". I purposely kept the link out of the pictures and only included two to minimize this from being tracked to a specific post. But geez! I don't know where to begin with this . . . WHY ARE YOU WATER COOLING A PENTIUM!!! To make this post more interactive, what are some of the worst online ads for PCs you have seen?

Hmmmm. I kind of agree with both of you. Though I am leaning toward the unverified one, but I think I am going to give this a bit more time to see if anyone is able to locate another BIOS for this card.
