Galaxy A53/5G..... got a great deal from BustBuy on prime day.... $370 for the phone, minus the $340 trade in credit for my S21+ = net cost to me of $30.00....

My 1st thought was to buy it from da 'Zon, but they were only offering $202 for the trade in, so to BB I went

And now that I've had it for a week, I haven't noticed any difference between it & my previous phone, and the battery last almost 2x as long, which is really important to me...

That's a total sidegrade, 2022 lower mid range phone vs 2021 flagship.
Should have just changed the battery and tweaked some settings.

No, it's actually a massive downgrade. Specs on that A53 are a lot worse.

This makes me want to go back to AMD even I said to myself many many times wait for the AMD Zen 4 but I kinda miss even my AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Reference card

it's by far the best blue/green to red switch i ever did in 12 years, even with the R5 3600,
total price, 99chf mobo + 59chf RAM + 0chf CPU + 450chf GPU - 200chf sale of the 1070 = 408chf (even without the old GPU sale it would only be 608chf hehe )
previous CPU mobo RAM GPU was 259chf i5-6600K + 219chf Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 + 179chf HyperX Predator + 544chf GTX 1070 Armor OC = 1201chf :laugh:

i totally love when an upgrade is more performant and way cheaper

@bonehead123 it's a massive downgrade alright but if the battery duration is the prime argument, it's fine as long as you are happy with it (plus with the cashback it's not a bad deal ) and furthermore if it suits your day to day usage

that being said if the Poco F3 5G was available for you and at a price like mine (299chf about same in $ ) it would have been better

Just got another Noctua NF-A8 PWM fan

Didn't need one (yet) but my Wife wanted a garlic press from Amazon and adding the fan saved $6 shipping charge (the fan is $16)

You went from a S21+ to an A53?

Was the damaged, or did you have a reason for the sidegrade?
(Battery seems an obvious example, but i wonder if the cameras etc are worse)

I found a 140mm ULN in a PSU (i'd replaced the PSU fan years ago, PSU died and i got the fan back)

It just doesn't get loud. Its glorious.

or, you could have taken a single high RPM delta server fan like a 40x28 mm 32500 RPM PFB0412EN-E, get a 40mm funnel with it and make a "Ghetto Garlic Shredder" ("GGS" Pat. Pend.)

no?...

not sure if 32 comma 500 rpm equal thirty two thousand five hundred RPM or 32500/32'500rpm

also not sure it would shred garlic adequately at sub 50rpm speed :oops:

Thousands in English | Vocabulary | EnglishClub

In science it could be written 32 500 (I thought about doing so)

But I am getting off topic, and yes, it is a terrible way to write as a comma can be accidently read as a decimal point.

alright well in french using an apostrophe is also a valid writing

and a comma is a separator between, i.e. : CHF/Swiss francs and Cts/centimes (corrected my initial post without comma or apostrophe for convenience) i hoped to make you laugh with that post ... i am a bit, sad :ohwell:

on topic, a piece of R.O.G. history (seemingly) and a shameful destruction (15chf for both)

IIRC, the Asus EN8600GT Silent was the first product of their line to feature the R.O.G. eye logo (but not the R.O.G. abbreviation or the Republic Of Gamer naming )

although it lack the shroud/guide and miss a few screws (like me )

the first official GPU with the R.O.G marketing was the R.O.G. Matrix 9800GT

and a XFX 8800GTX (bought it "defective" so i am not 100% disappointed) Alpha Dog, all the screws this time but...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!! ripped capacitor and it seems a poor hamster died horribly in the hamster wheel that serve as a fan for the heatsink...no wonder it was sold as defective :laugh:

the hamster or the capacitor?

Shrek said:

also, true ... garlic bits propelled at high speed would be a pain in the @$$ to clean ... sorry

seems like a Panasonic 180 microfarads 16V eh? i can order a pack of 10 for 3,20$ on AliExpress
although the caps are labelled 740 SVP 180 16 and the one i can find for replacement are 609 SVP 180 16

well i doubt the card would work even with a recap, ah whatever at least she would look pristine on the GPU shelf (once i clean the hamster residue), i order 3 piece from Distrelec.ch same cap but single order possible, tho 0,95cts a piece (roughly 3 time more expensive than AE but i don't need 7 more :laugh:

) i should order other caps, i have a socket A mobo (Abit iirc) that has a few electrolytic cap busted

still tech related and purchase, pfew saved

Most all solid-state capacitors are good, but liquid ones are very variable in quality, and one should be careful to get good replacements.

Changing capacitors on mother boards is difficult due to the large ground planes that take up heat; that is why I really like the RadioShack desoldering iron, the hole in the tip allows one to heat all around the capacitor leg.

(Battery seems an obvious example, but i wonder if the cameras etc are worse)

The S21+ was not damaged, but GPS/maps was acting up recently, tried numerous fixes, but no go... which is as important to me as the battery life, which was getting to the point that the phone had to be connected to a charger more than it wasn't.......and I didn't want to spend over $500 for a new phone

And I really don't care that much about the cameras per se, as most of my pics are basic quickie shots of the family, pets, etc and don't need to be super-duper hi-res anyways, 'cause I have a semi-pro digital camera if/when that is required....

I got a new toy for my sleeper Dell OptiPlex 170L.

That system originally started out with a Pentium 4 2.4ghz Northwood single core. Now it's a Xeon X3460 2.8ghz Quad Core. I've upgraded it more times than I can count.

Now that used GPU prices are becoming reasonable, I moved my BIOS modded GTX 745 4GB GDDR3 to spare parts and installed a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 in my ancient relic Lynnfield system. I picked it up off Craigslist for $75 which I felt was reasonable, considering what these cards were going for not all that long ago. Definitely a nice step up, I can now really crank the settings at my default 1360x768 resolution (though I can't stand motion blur or DOF) and have never really bothered with AA either. Far Cry 6 and Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem both run quite nice on this old workhorse now.

Also picked up two matching 4GB Samsung DDR3 DIMMs taking me to 16GB from 12GB for $15 shipped! Far Cry 6 appears to be a RAM hog, and 12GB wasn't quite enough for it to run smoothly. With 16GB I'm seeing about 11-12GB of system RAM used while gaming.......

This low budget system is as good as it gets until I upgrade to used Ryzen or Alder/Raptor Lake platform in a few years (I always buy my parts used, have done so for probably 15+ years now)!

Old dexcool was a little corrosive to gaskets, my old GM 3.4 could attest to it. Supposedly reformulated my second 3.4 also suffered a traumatic gasket failure.. so GM is no longer a part of my life lol

Ahhhh, that 1st gen Dexcool was real good stuff :banghead:

. I can't count how many 3.1, 3.4 and Buick 3.8s I repaired back in the day because of that junk when people would leave it in too long!

Funny thing is I have seen about 20 different shades of green/brown on these exact M378B5273CH0-CH9 4GB and similar M378B5673FH0-CH9 2GB Samsung 1333MHz DIMMs depending on lot number! I was happy these two were the same color as my original two because I'm OCD like that!

ah...

well ... it's a GT730 but kinda the same build, wait ... A4-5300B? in a HP Compaq SFF? errrrrr.... what? the installed picture rig do not match the CPU-Z at all :laugh:

i will take a RX 6400 LP 4gb (120ish chf price) probably next month and probably put the full 4 2gb stick of Samsung PC3 10600 (unless i buy a second HyperX Fury HX316C10FB/8 to go 16gb instead of 8 )other options, are a Quadro T400, T600 4gb :laugh:

but they are more expensive and not really better than a RX 6400, a RTX A2000 6gb? 3 time the price

(well ... i could also use it with the GT730 since it's nothing more than a HRPC/light gaming/office work rig ... :laugh:

)

as for purchase:
got a Seagate Barracuda 500gb Win 8.1 reinstalled reactivated, 1 Elite 8300 on 4 fully working, 2 remaining (well yeah, 1 of the 3 left was a donator for CPU collection, remember

)

it was ultra cheap (i have 2 Toshiba 7.2k rpm 1tb for the others, since i will replace them with a Seagate Barracuda 2tb later ) 10chf at that price i would not let the occasion pass (also almost not used by the person who sold it to me )
