Have an interesting one here, had someone bring me a 980 Ti that is broken He told me he has used it for about 2 years, and recently it has started turning off a couple minutes after booting the PC. I removed the card and found a small amount of corrosion on the pcie connector, no visible corrosion anywhere else on the GPU with the cooler removed https://imgur.com/OQafjpk https://imgur.com/zizyXMl Was run with a 4790k, 32gb of ram, and an 850 watt evga psu before this. Haven't done much testing but so far it boots up, runs for a couple minutes and shuts off. Any tips?

I've heared that the zbook series is quality as well as elitebooks

how is hp's service?

Hi everyone, as the title says, I need help choosing between two similarly spec'd laptops. I need a new laptop for high school that is under 14" as it needs to fit in my bag. I need at least an quad core hyper-threaded CPU for using CAD applications and multitasking but also needs to have decent battery life to last me a school day. I don't really want anything dell (long story) and I have up to $600 to spend. Preferably it should have a warranty so in case something happens i don't need to worry. Please help me choose between the ones i have or recommend that would be great. My first choice is an HP Zbook 14u G5 new 1 yr warranty with an i5 8350u, 16GB DDR4, 256GB ssd and a AMD Radeon Pro WX3100 Mobile 2GB GDDR5 gpu. A notebookcheck review says it should get 9.5hrs from its 50whr battery. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-ZBook-14u-G5-i7-8550U-Pro-WX-3100-Workstation-Review.305308.0.html This would cost me $600 and is the most expensive option i have found that is suitable for me. However i'm not sure I need a dedicated GPU for CAD. I also play some games such as rocket league and cs go but I'm not sure they would benefit from workstation graphics. The second option would be an HP Elitebook 840 G5 new 1 year warranty with the same i5 8350u, 8GB DDR4, 128gb, and no GPU. This would cost $525 but I plan to spend an extra $35 to upgrade the 8GB to 16. I'm not sure if the extra $40 for dedicated graphics is necessarily a big improvement for CAD and games so I need your opinion. I also found a USED Lenovo Ideapad 720s 14" with an i7 8550u, 8GB DDR4, 256GB ssd and Nvidia MX150 GPU, and 56whr battery for $530. This is used and doesn't have a warranty which is why I am hesitant to buy it. My last three are if all 3 above don't work out which is unlikely but i'm gonna list them anyways used no warranty HP Probook X360 440 G1, i5 8250u (less performance), 8gb ddr4, 128 ssd, no gpu = $350 + 35 for ram upgrade used no warranty HP Elitebook 840 G5, i5 8350u, 32gb ddr4, 256 ssd, no gpu = $550 used w/2 year warranty Dell XPS 13 9360, i7 8550u, 16gb ddr4 non upgradable, 128ssd, no gpu = $500 So what do you think? I need to decide within 2 days so any help is very useful

I bought a samsung 960 evo 250gb ssd open box for $35, is it a good deal?
