i am sure that "mousemat(tm) RXT4300ZZZ" motherboard will handle them just fine ... don't forget to plug the 2x2x6pin before booting up

well i am glad i got my DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra, albeit non functioning (working on it somedays), for cheap

The card most near uses in fact 6+8pin, weird since it's a reference board. Though reference had solder points for that 8pin, I guess XFX decided to use that. Still won't even OC to 1GHz.

ahhhh yes i saw some with 6+8 instead of 6+6

i wonder if my own "Mousemate(tm) Cerberus Gaming RRX4400ZZZ+" would handle the 4870 i have ... oh wait the card itself is non functional, although tested unlike most untested cards i have on my shelf, so it does not matter... she just good to be sitting and be pretty on my collection shelf

edit, i need a bigger shelf ... some of my pretties are still in their original boxes .... well i could remove the books ... books are overrated nowadays...

A shelf would be nice for GPUs, mine is pretty small and just houses only games/movies.

Good ol' Mugen 2, though it's a total PITA to install. :banghead:

Hm, found a listing of a HD 5770 + EK waterblock, it's only 20eur including shipping. If the seller still has it, that's going to be a nice new toy to my collection.

TPU rules, being in English forum makes my vocabulary better :toast:

e: yay, bought the HD 5770. Now I need to put the Eisbaer on that 3rd PC and that HD 5770 with its block

Thanks for the welcome! Stumbled across here in my search for information on my old socket A gear. Appears all the references I used to use have all gone now

I had the exact same Ram, unfortunately my Ex threw it out one day as the computer was giving too much trouble to her, so she tossed the entire thing.

ozkisses · May 4, 2020

Is that why she is your ex? Did you label everything "Don't touch' for the next one ? lol

Caring1 · May 4, 2020

I don't have to train the next one as she is clever and a looker. Lucky me.

unless they flash a GPU BIOS without backup of the initial BIOS ... that's it ...

and come with a title and single line post : "Oh my dog, oh my dog! i flashed bad BIOS to muh GPU and it does not work anymore, plz HALP!"

Decryptor009 · May 4, 2020

Well got my RAM up and running, sorted the overclock out, still at stock volatge and stable.

RAM at 800mhz with CPU at 3.68ghz.

MaxiPro800 · May 4, 2020

Shall I introduce the 2020 reboot of XP?

Just Win10 Pro 1909 off one of my Acer Aspire 6930G. Had a lot of work to do but now it's up and running great.

Like Germans say : "Sick Geil !"

aherm Sick is English Geil is indeed German but more common for Horny/Hot/Randy/Wicked (which the last one report to Sick in English) and related to EDM (Electronic Dance Music)
full German would be "Krank Geil!" (which is also related to EDM )

"Quite Sexy" auf hochDeutsch wird wir sagen "Ziemlich sexy" nah klar, sexy auf english ist sexy auf deutsch

well the brand Geil is hilarious for German speaking peoples ... and it's not even a German manufacturer GeIL is the correct acronyme pattern : "Golden emperor International Limited" (hilarious for a Taiwanese brand ... )

i had some DDR3 stick from them with the red LED eyed dragons on it
yep ... that one, the dragons were a bit less marked than the DDR2 preceding it hehe.

klar eine saugeil RAM kit (saugeil: primary: totally horny/bloody randy secondary: totally awesome/bloody amazing )

and that brand is still kicking asses .... they were the first to use heatsink on RAM and their DDR4 (without heatsink ) Dragon lineup is sooooo "sick"

Finally have a bit of free time to get working on my nostalgia project. Here's a tease of what I have got...

I have been motivated to finally get it started after seeing all these old systems being resurrected. I just need to hunt down a period case to put it all in

I think I still have some of that somewhere... It wasn't a good overclocker, though. I think I hit 1000mhz max.
