Is the 4070ti have a faster clock speed?

Awesome. Those cores could still crunch many a work unit. Hope it gets to a good home.

Oh man, sorry to hear it. I've had similar things happen. Makes me wonder if dirty power from the mains or if one of the components (like the PSU) decided to go down in flames and take as many other parts as possible with it.

$2.50 for horse armor sounds like a bargain these days.

Ha. Yep. That was one of those things the wife thought was a good idea when we were young and dumb. A year or two after that pic was taken we painted it beige.

Yep. I always regretted buying the Tyan board that couldn't be overclocked. Tear was the one that figured out how to OC the Supermicro boards right? Legend.

Found this pic from 2012 I thought some of the old dogs would recognize/appreciate. Using that folding heat productively! Pretty sure it was a quad AMD opteron crunching away back there. 48 cores. Cooled by some over engineered Noctua heatsinks that kept the noise to a quiet background white...

Posting here before it heads to fleabay. You could be my 100th successful Heatware transaction! Pic: $340 on Amazon $360 on Newegg Brand new, sealed, never opened. Bought it a few weeks ago but decided I don't need anything close to this. Also want to go AMD. Asking $269 shipped (USPS...

What else ya got? I found L5640s are cheap on ebay too. Around $10. I'm tempted. Those things were a blast for a while. Boy, if only I could find an evga SR-2. They're not even on ebay. Maybe they all broke.

I've been getting nostalgic for some of my old hardware lately. I would love to have a Radeon 9500 Pro, Athlon XP 3000+, Pentium 4 3.0C, or 1.4GHz Athlon Thunderbird. Most of those go for prices that are stupidly high on ebay. But, I found a guy selling Q6600 for $9 shipped and figured I'd scoop...

So a website I've never heard of is offering a group discount on a product that automatically sells out in seconds. Seems legit. Take my money.

I saw these systems in person at microcenter. They look pretty darn good really. They made me look twice. It would be tough to build one for that price assuming you buy your OS. My son wants to trade in a laptop for a gaming rig. I'm tempted.

Man, those were the good old days of overclocking, weren't they? Now days we're excited when we can OC the memory controller to get a 10% performance increase.....

Ah. The pizza boxen. Legendary. I still spread boxen around the house. HTPC, gaming pc, server, all in different rooms with multi core CPUs and gaming GPUs. For the pernts.

I would probably say the same thing 🤣
