I wouldn't have done it that way, either, but I got ahead of myself and didn't think about it. I just installed the CPU and the drivers were more of an afterthought. If I had it to do over, I'd have loaded up the drivers, shut it down, and then installed the CPU and the new cooler.
I'm 100% sure...
I have to start this post off by setting things up. My setup was a Ryzen 7 3700X on an MSI MAG B550M Mortar motherboard, Powercolor RX 6700 XT. It was running fine, until yesterday morning, I noticed that the stock AMD Wraith Prism had given up the ghost. Luckily I had set the RGB's to show the...
I’m looking for a Ryzen 5 3500/3600(not x). I’m looking to spend around $80. Stealth cooler would be nice, but no cooler is good too. Thanks in advance. Found. Thanks!
I am looking for some particular ram.
1 x 8GB kit(2x4gb) Geil Super Luce 3000MHz RGB ram.
1 x 8GB stick of Crucial Ballistix Elite 3000MHz ram. Black heat spreader.
Just let me know if you have what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
Found one.
I’m looking for a B350 motherboard. Only real requirements are 4 ram slots, 3+ system fan headers, and an I/O shield. Oh, I’m going to be using a Ryzen 7 1700, so it must have a BIOS that supports first gen still, as I don’t have a CPU to flash it. Let me know what you’ve got. Thanks...
I can see MSRP going away as well where GPU's are concerned. One very big reason is this: in the current climate they have learned that these cards will sell for whatever price they put on them. Even the entry level cards. Even cards that are poor performers(looking at you, RX 6500 XT). Even the...
I'm looking for one of these coolers, doesn't matter if it's used or new just as long as it's still in good working order. Please let me know what you have. Thanks in advance.
I have a friend whose GTX 1070 died. She got screwed on eBay on a replacement(she was sold a dead OEM HP RX 5500 4gb card, works fine until driver loads and then loses signal to monitor). So I'm trying to help her get a replacement that doesn't suck, and isn't broken.
She has around $250 to...
I entered the shuffle for the 3070 Ti. After having no success for the 3080 and 3070, I was not hopeful. I chose the 3 available options at MSRP (a Zotac Gaming, EVGA XC3, and Asus TUF), and I was given the option to buy the EVGA XC3 card, so I did. Now that I've got it, I don't really know what...
He went at it like a business man on a hostile takeover, and acted in ways he though would fix a problem that he didn't understand and didn't take the time to really look at.
I'm in Florida, and I am waiting on stuff from Newegg in NJ. Going on 3 weeks.
This isn't incompetence, so much as standard practice. I worked at the UPS CACH facility in Hodgkins, Ill., and we would get stuff that would come from Reno, NV. for instance, going to Las Vegas, NV., and it would come to Chicago, get sorted, and sent back. There is no way it is more efficient...
I'm currently having an issue with Newegg, who is basically telling me to wait another week, after ordering two weeks ago(12/21). The shipping hasn't been updated, either by UPS, or USPS, whom it was handed off to by UPS, since 12/23. I held no illusions that I would get the items in question on...
This is a viable alternative, however, make sure that you are definitely getting one that will take a full size power supply, and has room for a graphics card. Some of the newer style pre-built towers have a sort of shortened chassis with a flip-out cage for the drives, and it will impede your...
As it is for my older parents, Windows is ideal. They aren't going to learn Linux, or put up with much change. Also, I know very little about Linux to help with anything.
My parents laptop sucks. It's an older Dell Inspiron 15 3543 with an i3-5005u, 6gb, 1tb rust drive.
ETA:
I have come to learn that this trash-panda laptop only has one SODIMM slot, and can only accommodate 8gb max ram. Which makes things double awkward, because now I'm not sure as to how it gets...
Best Buy usually has these in stock, as well. So if you need it today, it might be worth a trip. I use these all the time in PC's I flip, and haven't had any problems so far.
I am in the market for a GTX 1650 video card. 2 slot card, only. I cannot use the 3 slot EVGA models.
My sister wants to play the new WoW expansion, and she needs a video card. It must be a card with no external power connector, as it is going into an HP prebuilt.
I'm looking to spend ~$100...
Sold. Thanks guys.
I have these parts for sale. Selling as a combo. They were being used in a living room gaming PC/guest PC. Never overclocked. Asking $120/shipped for the combo, OBO. I do have it cross posted on eBay/FB Marketplace.

I am looking for a Xeon E3-1230v3/1240v3. Found.
I also need an Athlon 3000g, or a Ryzen 3 3200g, or something else cheap so I can do a BIOS flashback on a B450 board so it will accept older chips again.
Might also be interested in a GTX 1650, or other card that doesn't require external power...
7970 is roughly equivalent to an r9 280/280x, iirc. Min reqs call for an HD7750/GTX 550 Ti, and that 7970 would be closer to the recommended reqs of an r9 290. But that RX 470 from above is pretty tempting, and you could probably unload that 7970 locally for the same money, tbh.
I have a Sapphire Nitro RX 470 4gb that needs a new fan. I am willing to buy both fans if necessary.
Or, if after looking at the pictures, you can tell me how to reassemble the fan, that would be great, too. But I’m more than certain there is a piece missing.
I am in need of a decently priced intel z87/z97 motherboard. I really just need it to test a processor. And maybe if that goes well, to sell it on locally.
Background:
I have a i7-4790k that I keep selling on eBay, and subsequently keep getting returned, that I need to test in something other...
