  1. Also I think its a failing RAM chip killing the card because when I have the performance monitor up it only starts to mess up after about 60% of vram used. Thought about replacing the ram chips on it. Anyone know what would happen if I put 4G set of chips on as long as the specs match up? I have a dead gpu with 4G of DDR3 vram
  2. sweet!! Thank you!! I don't know why but I couldn't get eBay to bring up 555's in my search results. Not the first time its happened. Had my friend search the same exact part on his phone and got some results mine didn't show.
  3. Yeaaaa lol N75SF. Having a hard time finding a replacement 555. Just trying to breath some life back into it.
  4. From what I've been able to find so far is I'm limited to the MXM-II interface (PCI-e 2.0). Although I haven't been able to find a lot of info on cards that use this generation of MXM. I was hoping just to upgrade to either a 580m or something a little better. But I haven't found a comprehensive list of MXM-II cards.
  5. I currently have a dying GT555M 2G half height. What is the best available card in this format? It's paired with a I7-2860qm and SK Hynix 16GB PC3-12800.
  6. I have an old HP DV7-1247cl that had a fried MB so I got a Mb from a 1285DX? I think with the intel chipset and the 9600GT. I'm running retro arch and other older games on this pc. I have a T9600 CPU. 4Gb DDR2 ram, trying to get some 4gb sticks to up it to 8G. The new board has 2 extra MPCI ports on the lower corner. One has a tv symbol so I know it's the tv tuner card port. The other I have no idea and can't find much mention of it anywhere. Can these ports be used for any thing else like mpci to usb to hold a swap file or a backup drive to store a windows image restore type deal or just to expand storage?
  7. Using a industrial fluke multimeter as well as an older Craftsman pro True RMS meters. Both same results. Reading 3.3V, 5v, and 12V on all rails. Only the 12V rail shown a Fluctuating voltage from 0-40V AC that fluctuates repeatedly while the 5v and 3.3V rails are clean. I went as far as opening the power supply up and powering it on and testing on the board itself. Same result. The AC voltage is present all the way from the transformer legs to the 3.3 and 5v regulator board and past to the solder pad for the 12v rail. But I can test on the output for the 5 and 3.3v pads off the regulator board and no AC voltage. As for going above 12.6V DC it's still giving a 12V DC output like normal. The AC is on top of the DC voltage I can test with and analog meter as well that needle never moves from 12V in DC mode but as soon as you turn to AC mode that needle fly's back and forth from 0-40V.
  8. I have a 650W Cooler Master MWE Gold. It took out my cousins computer when it just started throwing 0-40V AC along with the 12v DC on the 12V rail. Can anyone point me in the direction of what part could have failed so I can repair this unit? Unit has been in storage or about a year now and not powered back on or plugged in since so no chance of me frying myself. 3.3V and 5V rails are fine. Motherboard survived but it took out the FX8350 Black. I can add pictures of the board later.
  9. I have an LG 32" 4k hdr monitor and trying to play Fallout 4. The problem im having is I can either go windowed and just have a box on my screen and 2k res or I can go full screen and it boxes itself in the corner. Or if I play with the setting it goes full fullscreen in 4k but the entire hud/ cross hair is off to the left by a good amount. Is there anyway to get this game to scale correctly? Xeon x3460 with a slight overclock 16gb ddr3 Gtx970 ssc overclocked Fallout 4 on ultra settings
  10. I have an excess of 5.1 ch surround sound speaker systems with dead receivers and old motherboards. My question is can i use and HDMI Passthrough device (such as a EL Gato) Intercept the audio and use this as my 7.1 or even 10.1 receiver? I have 2 old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Z5's. I understand I may need some amplifiers but i have an old Sony-matic reel-reel player that is beyond repair but the case is in good shape, and i have the supplies and materials to build a 5 channel amplifier with 2 inputs and outputs per channel. A good 5.1 channel receiver is out of my price range. I already have a Older el gato that has issues when trying to stream video but always had good audio.
  11. Cool!! I will probably order it here within the next few days. The games are running and I can always lower the setting to get a more playable framerates until it arrives.
  12. My brother is getting a new video card so he's giving me his 1080 so luckily I dont have to spend the money on a new graphics card lol. I will look into the xeon processors. See if I can work them into my budget, My bike is taking most of my money right now :/, but I got to get it up and running for riding season. And I'm going to replace the old Xms 800mhz ram with another vengence pro stick.
  13. Oh and also the cpu doesn't go into its turbo boost either, so it's always running at its 2.67Ghz
  14. I have an intel core i5-750 with an aio water cooler and I've hit 38° so far after about 20 min in game, but I barely have the fan turning until I hit 45°c then they start to ramp up. I also have a Rtx 970 which will be upgraded to a 1080ti ftw edition soon.And 8Gb of corsair vengence pro and 4gb of corsair XMS2 DDr3 ram. And the big fan is always running full speed. Will overclocking the cpu help lower the cpu strain and reduce bottlenecking in these games ( FF XV, Forza horizon 4, Ark)? I'm running between 38-55 fps in FF on high settings at 120hz and 1920x1200, between 40-60 fps on FH4 on high settings at same rez, and 55-60 fps on Ark on medium settings same rez. I'm working with very little cash here so I'm trying to use what I have. Oh and im running an EVGA H55 Mb
