It isnt broken, I choose not to share it.

Not sure what my systems specifications have to do with how a high-quality power supply is defined though. For the record, I've got evga supernova g2's in two PCs and a seasonic in the other. All high-quality 'tier 1/1a' units according to reputable (Jonnygurur) reviews.

Hi,
Well you do use share you just don't fill out anything
If you don't want to share select No not Yes in options and the link won't be there.

No thanks.

I'll put something in there, however, so people feel as though their time isn't wasted checking...

I've been called a braggart and a fanboy over it so it was simply easier to leave it like this.

EDIT: Now, they'll have a reason to call me a braggart.

Picked this guy up for replacing my Wraith Prism, only for its convenience of a push-clip.

Thoughts:
This is one of those coolers that demands a blood sacrifice. It got one from me. Don't be deceived by the apparent "convenience" of its push clip. There's no freaking way you can install this cooler while your motherboard is installed in the case. The push-clip mechanism has at least 200% retention force it should normally have. The first time you try installing this will always fail, so don't try to use up all its TIM in one go. Your best bet at installing this thing is uninstalling your motherboard, and taking the battle to a table top. You first hook up the static bit, and wrestle with the loose bit. Also, position the heatsink such that the loose bit is facing south of the CPU socket, because your northern VRM heatsink will definitely obstruct it. It takes an ungodly amount of pressure to latch the loose bit down, and I had to bend the motherboard by a lot (never had to bend a motherboard by this much in 2 decades of PC building).

Lesson: While the temps and noise are an improvement over the stock cooler, avoid like cancer for AM4, and I say this as someone who's formally reviewed CPU coolers.

Humorously your description of the CPU cooler install reminds me of the first Hyper 212 build I ever did.

New Processor

sam_86314 · Jul 26, 2020

Second part of my next project arrived (first part was a 5.5mm barrel jack to P4 adapter that arrived yesterday)...

...a Core i3-2310M. I didn't see any bent pins, which is always good.

I have a Socket G2 motherboard on the way that this'll be going into. I plan on using this lower power system in place of the Clarkdale one as my storage server.

This chip was a mere $6.55 USD shipped to me door. Unfortunately I won't be able to test it until the board arrives.

remixedcat · Jul 28, 2020

So I went and did a thing cuz my high-freq sensitive hearing shit I mentioned in the other thread....

Gpt these Aiwa ARC1s and they are niceness so far!

The Socket G2 motherboard I ordered has arrived...

'

It's a BCM MX67QMD. After tax and shipping, it was $19.69.

The main reason I wanted this board was because it has dual GbE NICs on it.

Assembly was very easy.

As of writing this, I've only tested booting to the BIOS, which works fine. I'm currently using my gaming laptop's charger to power it (it accepts 12-24V DC through the 4-pin power socket).

It seems to be missing one part that it was supposed to include, so I'm trying to tell the seller about it. Hopefully it works out. I'm not that annoyed since the board was cheap, but y'know.

Is it the I/O Shield?

sam_86314 · Jul 29, 2020

No, it's the SATA power cable. There's a SATA power header on the board, and it was supposed to come with a cable that splits that header into two SATA power connectors. It had everything else it was supposed to come with.

I mean, I guess I could post it there. Maybe the PGA socket makes this board look older than it is, but this is a Sandy Bridge board from around 2011. This particular one was brand new in the box.

In related news, I got it booted into Windows 10, and it works perfectly.

Running it off a USB drive since I can't hook up SATA drives without the power cable.

sam_86314 · Jul 31, 2020

The case for my new storage server build arrived...

...a Mini-Box M300. It was $48.54USD after tax and shipping. It came with the "optional" CF reader (even though the site said it wouldn't and I didn't order it separately), so that's nice.

Building in it wasn't too hard. The quality of this case isn't the greatest, but once it's all put together, it feels sturdy enough. The main reason I got this case was because it has a PCIe slot (though I need to get an extension for it) despite being very small form-factor.

I had a few issues during assembly, though. The USB header cable didn't have the key to make sure it goes in correctly. I just looked up the pinout for USB 2.0 headers and lined up pin 1 of the cable with pin 1 of the header, and it worked the first time. The other issue was that the power button and LED wires weren't labelled. After some trial and error, I got everything plugged in correctly, and the system works.

In the future, I need to get a PCIe extension and maybe some better 40mm fans, since the airflow in this case is very bad.

What are some good 40mm fans? Should I go with 10mm or 20mm thick fans?

Got tired pf the less than ideal generic China made chair and got this badboy instead, better lumbar support, and more comfortable. The chair, as a whole, feels to be well made...

phill · Aug 5, 2020

I had something turn up today....

Finally have something to put my 2700 into, now all I need is some more RAM and a cooler to put on the CPU.. Definitely not putting on the stock heatsink... Too noisy!! So now I think all I'm really lacking for my Crosshair collection is a Crosshair 4 Extreme, Crosshair 5 Formula-Z and then a Crosshair 6 Hero Extreme and that's it complete!

I'd like to get another Crosshair 8 but the Wi-Fi edition but it's not so important right now and only will be important when I grab a 3950X lol

And now something that someone had sent me for free, and I've just literally been able to take a look tonight.... and the aftermath of packaging.....

Everything out the box....

A few up close and personal....

I've got to take a look and see what is there and what works as otherwise, I'll recycle whatever doesn't work...

I'll try and update with what is working and what doesn't.. Hopefully it all does

Aiwa... Now that's a blast from the past...
They were nearly as popular as Sony and Panasonic/Technics at one point in time.

Nah, highly doubt it as eVGA seems to be fixated on nVidia and Intel, their loss for not looking into AMD motherboard.

Meanwhile, my last piece of kit came, a vertical mouse....cheap one at that.

I haven't tried it for games yet, still getting a feel for it, it does take a bit of adjustment.....I'm an old dog, so learning new tricks is hard. I feel a 'disconnect' in action when I use it, I'm so used to pressing down on the L/R button to see the action completed that when I press the L/R clicker/key on this vertical mouse, it feels weird, like it ain't 'natural' to see the action on screen completed with a click down, instead of sideway.....something like that. Also, due to my dainty hands, I can reach the 'Back' key easily enough, but I need to adjust my hold of the mouse to favor my thumb forward a little to use the 'Forward' button. It's a minor niggle for me as I seldom use the 'Forward' button.

Since it's for my gaming rig, it has to be RGB, I cannot get a non-RGB mouse as I'd lose my gaming 'creds'....

ohhhh look a lot like my Sovos from Speedlink, the placement of the joystick seems better on yours tho

cheap? how cheap?

Congrats on going NVMe.

If you want some really fast Win 10 installs, can always repurpose an Optane 32GB NVMe M.2 drive - mount it into an ICY BOX IB-1817Ma-C31 external NVMe M.2 enclosure.

Here's the link:

IB-1817Ma-C31

To avoid most bottlenecks - install FROM Optane NVMe M.2 TO Optane NVMe PCIe card as your primary OS drive.

Optane to Optane is superfast installs.

------

Disclaimer: NO, I didn't buy an Optane M.2 module simply for Win 10 installations. lol That would be silly.

I got (2) of the Optane 32GB M.2 drives way back in Spring 2017, about $75each and created a RAID 0 drive on the Apex X DIMM.2 riser card, since that was the ONLY way to get into Optane at that time.

Repurposed one Optane M.2 module as a benchmarking drive and the other (this one) as a Windows 10 reformatting drive, cuz why not? It was just hanging around doing nothing. lol

Anyway, this enclosure below acts as an incredibly efficient passive heatsink (yes it gets very warm during operation). Only modification I made was instead of the thermal tape they included in the box - I had some Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 at 0.5mm thickness leftover from the RAID M.2 install so used some of that Der8auer material (in the foreground - photo below).

View attachment 162999

forgive my laugh :roll:

i just ordered :

should arrive tomorrow alongside two other tech related goodie

i laughed because i hesitated between the Arion and a few other enclosure from Icybox

and yes the P1 will be a tad slower than the Adata XPG Gamix S11 512gb i have in the rig .... but that 1TB P1 will be my nomade game drive for later (when i can actually travel again ... damn restrictions :cry:

)

kurosagi01 · Aug 5, 2020

Bought the Microsoft Pro intellimouse shadow White edition.. Feel right at home as the predecessor was my first introduction to ergonomic+gaming mouse.

8BitZ80 · Aug 6, 2020

A lifetime's supply (2 x 30g) of good thermal jizz for US$9. I've been using GD900 for one year and it performs every bit as good as Arctic MX4, so it's great value stuff.

GreiverBlade · Aug 6, 2020

alright NVMe ext at home and extras

that thing was cheaper per GB than my Seagate Fast SSD 500gb .... (and faster ...) 109 chf: 59 chf for the Arion 50 chf for the Crucial P1 (the Seagate FSSD is priced 124 chf atm )

Seagate FSSD result and then Arion with P1

feel like xmas '91 and '94 ohhhh boy, promotion, since i already had Holy Diver (NES) from the same collection series when i saw Super R-Type + R-Type III: The Third Lightning for 19chf instead of 59... i jumped on.

and a 2m lightstrip controllable via Google assistant/home for fun... (Xiaomi Yeelight 15chf)

"for ambient only, not suitable for lighting a room" .... hummm ... it's plenty enough for my living room and 7.5w is a blessing compared to my other lights (i have a few 10W led bulb that i used previously ) and also RGB! much needed ... pure white warm cold or any other color i want is available without needing another set ...

New Monitor

Although I was a little worried (first 3 ips gaming monitors I tried had horrible BLB and ips glow) I got to say they've improved alot over the last 3 years both in speed and Ips glow/BLB

I will say this it isn't noticeably better from normal viewing angles and sitting distance compared to my Asus PG278QR. Compared to by buddies GL850 which I'm pretty sure use the same panel it looks nearly identical although his has slightly worse ips glow but that likely just comes down to panel variances. I do like the stand better though than the GL variant.

Either way this will hold me over till the monitors with FALD/true hdr cost less than a kidney.

GreiverBlade · Aug 6, 2020

ah, i forgot to add one game i bought... which also arrived today

from the Bombshell franchise, which i have on steam wishlist ... but i wanted the oldschool 3d shooter first xD and a good laugh : the game is only 91.1MB total size :laugh:
