DarknessFalls229#2286: not really no DarknessFalls229#2286: its still safe, but just not recommended DarknessFalls229#2286: id say keep it below 70 Clode#2428: But ive swapped the thermal paste now Clode#2428: Wth DarknessFalls229#2286: what kinda cooler? Clode#2428: The default one... Clode#2428: Should i buy another? DarknessFalls229#2286: what are you using the c2q for? Clode#2428: Right now im only on the Bios
Clode#2428: But its stock speed DarknessFalls229#2286: no i mean what are you going to use it for, as your main pc? only for occasional gaming? for heavy rendering? for 24/7 use? Clode#2428: Main pc with some soft gaming DarknessFalls229#2286: Also, is it 84C in the bios? Clode#2428: Yes DarknessFalls229#2286: ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof DarknessFalls229#2286: check your mounting pressure Clode#2428: Whats that? Clode#2428: Im a totally noob DarknessFalls229#2286: if the cooler is making proper contact with the CPU DarknessFalls229#2286: the little pins on the stock cooler can be a pain in the butt sometimes Clode#2428: Shoul i try to push it down? DarknessFalls229#2286: yes? Alcyone#2233: make sure the pins are poking through the pcb Alcyone#2233: ive bent one before and had to futz with it
DarknessFalls229#2286: and that the black pieces are fully pushed down and in the locked position Alcyone#2233: ^ Clode#2428: Ok Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681583830817046545/20200224_193337.jpg Clode#2428: I found the problem DarknessFalls229#2286: push the black piece back out and squish the white pins back together Clode#2428: Ok Clode#2428: It isnt working Clode#2428: Fack Alcyone#2233: you have to turn the peg 90 degrees before it will pull up. there is probably instructions online, intel been using that cooler mount forever Clode#2428: Wait what? thatubuntuguy#5914: he's right thatubuntuguy#5914: try turning the peg 90 degrees thatubuntuguy#5914: then pull up Clode#2428: Ok
Alcyone#2233: or maybe its the other way and that is to lock it in Alcyone#2233: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qczGR4KMnY found a simple vid Clode#2428: Thank you so much Clode#2428: Shoot Clode#2428: Ive broke some of the white ones Alcyone#2233: rip tdp2612#3835: yeah the clips are bullshit tdp2612#3835: putting together and installing my 212 evo was way easier than the 'simple' clips Sony PS-FL77#3627: Who out here still using Winamp? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681801163208917170/WinAmp.png KeZz#4943: Replaced my 2 sticks of RAM with 2 new ones. PC started cycling - 1-2 secs on and then 1-2 secs off. Then i took out 1 of the sticks and it booted fine. Is the RAM stick faulty? KeZz#4943: If any of you smart people know about this, would be appreciated 🙂 Sony PS-FL77#3627: I would swap the ram sticks Sony PS-FL77#3627: To first check if it may be a faulty slot, could have broken during install spaztron64#5323: Winamp works well on NT5 systems Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Take a piece of paper and clean the contact pins on the RAM sticks.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yes that too, gently obviously. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Take a look inside the RAM slots as well, see if there's dirt/mold/pet hair. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Use a brush to get rid of them, if there's any present. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Works everytime. Sony PS-FL77#3627: And check if neither of the ram sticks are OEM specific Sony PS-FL77#3627: HP likes to lock their shit down sometimes Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Really stupid. Sony PS-FL77#3627: indeed spaztron64#5323: This should be illegal. Sony PS-FL77#3627: Highly! Sony PS-FL77#3627: Under the geneva convention tdp2612#3835: i mean how much is it as well tdp2612#3835: are you going from 4 to 8 gigs or something Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'd expect something like that Sony PS-FL77#3627: Or is it like 2 32GB sticks lol
KeZz#4943: Since I need to use the PC for work, I cant shift things around for another 40 mins. The slot had a 4gb stick in right before that, so I think its fine? Im just upgrading from 1333 two 4gb sticks, to two 1600 8GB sticks. tdp2612#3835: whats the board tdp2612#3835: and what was the specs for the old ones tdp2612#3835: like were they 10600, and the new 12800 etc tdp2612#3835: even though it *shouldnt* be a problem KeZz#4943: 10600U KeZz#4943: Going by the info on the sticker KeZz#4943: New ones are 12800 KeZz#4943: 1333 mhz is 10600 and 1600 is 12800? spaztron64#5323: So you had unbuffered memory before? KeZz#4943: I dont know, all i know is that on one of the sticks, following the 10600 it says U tdp2612#3835: whats the board anyway KeZz#4943: h81m-plus ASUStek KeZz#4943: If that answers the question tdp2612#3835: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681841518788739096/unknown.png
tdp2612#3835: i dont know if that means it wont take bufferred memory tdp2612#3835: but you said that just sticking one in made it work? KeZz#4943: Um, so i had two 4gb sticks. One has the U and the other one doesnt. They worked just fine. For 3 years. KeZz#4943: I just got some 8gb sticks to replace the two. Inserted it. PC started cycling. After removing 1, it works fine. Shows 1600 and 8gb RAM. tdp2612#3835: and are they matching sticks KeZz#4943: Not identical manufacturer KeZz#4943: But the other two 4gb ones werent identical either tdp2612#3835: if youve tried with stick 1, try with stick 2 tdp2612#3835: if that works, try either stick in the second slot KeZz#4943: I tried 2, cycling. Tried 1, fine. tdp2612#3835: just try one of them, but use stick number 2 spaztron64#5323: I have a feeling stick 2 is buffered. spaztron64#5323: Look up the model. KeZz#4943: I will do, just need to get to lunch time and then i can open the PC and do that. KeZz#4943: But initially when i asked the question. I was wondering if its a bad ram stick
tdp2612#3835: thats why i want you to try each of them individually KeZz#4943: Ill try 2, if its still cycling. Ill replace the other stick and keep the ''faulty'' one in on its own. tdp2612#3835: so you know if the stick actually works KeZz#4943: Ye, fair KeZz#4943: So i put the other stick in, it cycled. I then switched their positions, and it didnt cycle. But there wasnt an display output coming to the monitor. I then removed the one that was bad, and left the good one in, but in another slot. Still no display. I then moved it to the other slot, and all is fine. KeZz#4943: Boots. But again, with only 1 stick. Sony PS-FL77#3627: Blimey Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm really curious Sony PS-FL77#3627: It looks like an issue I once had with an i5 750 build Sony PS-FL77#3627: Eventually it turned out that one of the sticks was OEM even though they seemed dead similar KeZz#4943: Think i should exchange them? Do you know how make sure that its not OEM and also buffered/unbuffered? Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'd suggest posting a few pics Sony PS-FL77#3627: High quality with especial focus on the lettering Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681883070865080368/20200225_152236.jpg Clode#2428: I cant install this cooler no mater what
Clode#2428: Need help DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmm DarknessFalls229#2286: you broke a lot of pins on that thing Clode#2428: Yup DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps, just perhaps, you should brake the plastic mount off and just ziptie it to your board DarknessFalls229#2286: or just buy a new cooler tdp2612#3835: can i recommend tdp2612#3835: just geta 212 evo DarknessFalls229#2286: bit much for a Q6600 tdp2612#3835: or any semi decent cooler that screws on tdp2612#3835: oh nvm then tdp2612#3835: go on amazon and find something cheap DarknessFalls229#2286: like even on 1.44v my Q6600 runs below 70c on my zalman coolers tdp2612#3835: zalmans pretty nice though Clode#2428: So this one is dead right?
DarknessFalls229#2286: not really dead tdp2612#3835: anyway i need to get my 775 cooler replaced, its way too loud tdp2612#3835: i mean you *could* buy new clips DarknessFalls229#2286: just unmountable with the current mounting mechanism tdp2612#3835: id say buy new ones, attach them, and sell the whole thing and get something with screws DarknessFalls229#2286: you can ask around in your area if someone has a free 775 cooler Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681883847067172899/20200225_152551.jpg Clode#2428: I have also this one Clode#2428: Is from an dual core pentium DarknessFalls229#2286: does that one fit? Clode#2428: I think DarknessFalls229#2286: like, on the 775 board, or is it for 115x Clode#2428: Tbh idk Clode#2428: Im going crazy DarknessFalls229#2286: just put it on top of your motherboard and SEE if the holes match up with the pins
Clode#2428: Ok DarknessFalls229#2286: IF it fits, try around a little bit with the mounting mechanism before actually putting it on the cpu Clode#2428: They seem to fit but the plastic thing doesnt enter DarknessFalls229#2286: > try around a little bit with the mounting mechanism before actually putting it on the cpu Clode#2428: Ok Clode#2428: It fits Clode#2428: But its kinda off DarknessFalls229#2286: wdym 'kinda off'?

DarknessFalls229#2286: fiddle around with it ehwn you get it out, youll have a better understanding of the situation DarknessFalls229#2286: any cheap cooler would do for 775, unless youre going to overclock Clode#2428: Im also thinking ab oc Clode#2428: Yeah i was thinking ab an oc DarknessFalls229#2286: what board you got? Clode#2428: Is there some cheap one with screws? Clode#2428: Board or socket? DarknessFalls229#2286: ...

I'm lost xD TheFifthAce#4128: ? wym TheFifthAce#4128: you have 8gb ram showing as 8gb ram TheFifthAce#4128: whats the problem

Sony PS-FL77#3627: So like when overclocking beyond a certain point my CPUs always get stuck at 100% Is that normal or am I royally fucking something up? Sony PS-FL77#3627: Cause I had an i5 750 (2.66 stock) clocked at 4.2Ghz and speedstep wouldn't work on that either TheGeekster#8508: 100% usage? or 100% fixed clock speed?

Sony PS-FL77#3627: 1.5v JustinXenyx#8854: Jesus that is much JustinXenyx#8854: Especially for that shit board you have Sony PS-FL77#3627: Welcome to 3 core CPUs JustinXenyx#8854: Nah that's the result of the CPU Unlocking
JustinXenyx#8854: shit was disabled for a reason, stuff usually was unstable as hell and barely clocked above stock n shit Sony PS-FL77#3627: Honestly if I burn this entire PC I won't shed a tear This is mostly just me having a go at pushing hardware to the limit Sony PS-FL77#3627: This thing runs completely stable at 10% Sony PS-FL77#3627: With everything working as it should 4 cores unlocked Sony PS-FL77#3627: So I'm obviously trying to push it further for no apparent reason Sony PS-FL77#3627: One reboot later an CPU clock is still pegged at 100 Sony PS-FL77#3627: I don't need to know whether what I'm doing is smart or not I know it isn't I just wanna know if I can help this static clock somehow "Cobs"#1150: Try giving it a tiny bit more voltage "Cobs"#1150: What’s it currently at? "Cobs"#1150: Oh 1.5 "Cobs"#1150: That seems a wee high but I dunno much about the Athlon side unfortunately i "Cobs"#1150: You sure 1.5 isn’t your mem voltage?
JustinXenyx#8854: nah that's his CPU voltage, i believe it with those Am3 chips lol "Cobs"#1150: Damn that’s high JustinXenyx#8854: Thing is cobs, given the fact he unlocked the 4th core and the L3 cache he basically kicked any major OC capabilities into the trash "Cobs"#1150: Ah so it could be that one core sending it wonky then Sony PS-FL77#3627: L3 cache is non existent according to CPU-z Sony PS-FL77#3627: But that may be CPUz fucking up due to the unlocked CPU JustinXenyx#8854: Given that it says it's a Phenom II X4 B50 it more than likely unlocked the L3 cache "Cobs"#1150: Does hwinfo64 see any?

Sony PS-FL77#3627: The info on those two screenshots is basically all I know for sure Sony PS-FL77#3627: That and that my motherboards is an Asrock N68-S3 UCC Alcyone#2233: try setting bclk/fsb to 200 and multiplier to 18, see if it boots Alcyone#2233: 1800+ might be too much for the ram causing the instability Sony PS-FL77#3627: Well there's no instability at all Sony PS-FL77#3627: In fact currently it's running completely smoothly Alcyone#2233: when you try and go faster Sony PS-FL77#3627: Ah, thank you! Alcyone#2233: if its multi unlocked leaving fsb at 200 and only using the multi will be best Alcyone#2233: but if its not you will have to lower the memory divider (speed) as you increase the bclk/fsb Alcyone#2233: and possibly increase the northbridge voltage Sony PS-FL77#3627: I don't think it is because previously I've had it at baseclock 200 and multiplier x16 and the clock speed was stuck at stock 3.2 Alcyone#2233: yeah Alcyone#2233: try setting 200x18 and see if it boots at 3.6 Sony PS-FL77#3627: So I shall
Alcyone#2233: if its multi unlocked it will run 200x16 even with a higher multi set.

Alcyone#2233: so you have to just use fsb, unless the core unlock unlocked the multiplier as well Дебильчик#7990: since those cores are malfunctioning or otherwise underperforming ones Sony PS-FL77#3627: Nope multiplier maxed at 16 Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Дебильчик this is completely true Sony PS-FL77#3627: But the test is to see how far I can push it with 4 cores active Alcyone#2233: what cooler do you have? TheGeekster#8508: *this is a power run tho with the boost turned up to 12* Sony PS-FL77#3627: For fun basically JustinXenyx#8854: Yes, unlocking his athlon does kick his OC capabilities into the trash @Дебильчик Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Alcyone an ancient unknown coolermaster heatsink with scrappy thermal paste and a random fan strapped to the top of it Sony PS-FL77#3627: A fully professional setup Alcyone#2233: is it like a 120mm tower cooler?

Or in the case of most of the places I've worked because they're too cheap to replace them. Despite there being more cost in the long run due to down time and waiting.

Nomad_00#9361: well yah but thats a little difrent then what i was saying but yah TheFifthAce#4128: https://blog.ptsecurity.com/2020/03/intelx86-root-of-trust-loss-of-trust.html TheFifthAce#4128: o h n o Nomad_00#9361: w o a p ZeroForsaken#0001: I bought a new board and it’s coming Saturday, and I’m pairing it with an i5-2500 non k that I’ve had for too long. Can anyone recommend me a good graphics card to pair with it? Right now, I have a GTX 750 I’m planning to throw in as a placeholder. Racey#8574: Might top out at GTX 1650 SUPER or GTX 1660 non-SUPER on less CPU intensive games JustinXenyx#8854: @ZeroForsaken I'd probably more entail a card like the RX570, since you should be able to find those for a decent price used Lady Mipha#0611: @TheFifthAce oh god oh fuck TheGeekster#8508: Thank fuck we only use dedicated TPM chips, that's a little bit of a fuck up DenseReptile#5142: A 15 year old teen here from the Philippines, I'm currently on an extreme budget of whatever I save from my daily budget for food (honestly haven't counted) I watched a bit of Budget's videos and I'm impressed by how much you could do with so little, so may I ask what's the best build for someone like me who's on a really tight budget. Some extra info, I'm planning to use Linux Mint on it instead of Windows (mainly because I assume Windows is heavy and it's expensive, $100 already would cost thousands of pesos, and I simply don't have that), though I'm open to other alternatives for beginners MythologicalZ#3752: Windows 10 is essentially free if you leave it without a key
MythologicalZ#3752: Can also nab keys off ebay for 3-5 dollars DenseReptile#5142: Hmm, that's interesting, still not sure if I should either go for Linux or Windows though JC392#0392: Linux game performance is pretty close now. JC392#0392: I think it's a matter of personal preference. MythologicalZ#3752: Eh MythologicalZ#3752: There are still compatibility issues MythologicalZ#3752: But still way more usable than a few years ago DenseReptile#5142: If I'm not missing out much on anything from Windows, and if Linux has better advantages, then I'll go with Linux TheGeekster#8508: what games do you wanna play? that's probably gonna be the best way to figure out linux vs windows DenseReptile#5142: @TheGeekster I have more casual choices in games (Modded ~~Cracked~~ Minecraft being one example), I also like racing. TheGeekster#8508: tbf windows is probably gonna be your best bet, as the others have said, windows... doesn't exactly have any issues with you not paying, beyond not allowing you to pick a theme, even that there's ways around, i'd just stick with windows DenseReptile#5142: @TheGeekster I also wanna use it for some programming, and playing around with software in general TheGeekster#8508: you could try either one tbh, no money is on it suburbanerrorist#4055: https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-gif-11478682 TheFifthAce#4128: @DenseReptile if you know how to work out shipping from the USA and can pay for most of it the shipping costs, I can just straight up send you a computer for free
Nomad_00#9361: If you want to play around with software get an emulator, there fun to play with LuminousFuture#5919: anyone know how i would be able to get a completely stripped screw out of a laptop? i've tried the rubberband trick tdp2612#3835: drill it out? Alcyone#2233: screw extractor or chiseling a groove into it and tapping it sideways to loosen it it Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/685591379539394580/unknown.png JustinXenyx#8854: I've had success with using a dremel and cutting a slit big enough to fit a flat heat into and then just unscrewing it like normal Alcyone#2233: if its a small screw a reverse rotation drill bit will usually take it out as well LuminousFuture#5919: im going to try the reverse rotation drill bit, i cant seem to make a groove in it properly Ramiere#1840: Best ddr3 ram that isn't overpriced? Ramiere#1840: @ me if you respond please Jam#0384: @Ramiere DDR3 1600 and 1866 is cheap and not incredibly slow. Don't worry about heatspreaders unless you NEED aesthetic. They're really irrelevant to regular consumer DDR DenseReptile#5142: Continuing my previous question due to the secondary question being answered instead. What hardware should I buy to have a decent modern gaming experience all while maintaining being within an extreme budget? (I might actually try stuff like that one time Budget installed a driver to make an older £1 GPU perform better with newer games)
Like what CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, HDD, case, etc. DenseReptile#5142: I wouldn't mind having graphical compromises, I'll prioritize stability more. MythologicalZ#3752: What budget? JustinXenyx#8854: If you prioritize stability and having a decent modern gaming experience, fuck using modded drivers MythologicalZ#3752: Yee JustinXenyx#8854: Stuff really is not stable most of the time and a lot of games AntiCheat will freak the fuck out MythologicalZ#3752: And the 4890 or whatever it was isn't even a quid anymore MythologicalZ#3752: Plus no dx11 DenseReptile#5142: Oof DenseReptile#5142: Let me see what I saved so far (oh boy, another year of saving and relying on cousins) MythologicalZ#3752: Also,where are you based? JustinXenyx#8854: For CPU, you'd need anything better than a quad core, as modern games are starting to utilize more and more cores, so even a quad core with hyperthreading is cutting it close JustinXenyx#8854: @MythologicalZ Phillipines DenseReptile#5142: I'm from the Philippines MythologicalZ#3752: Oof ouch owie
DenseReptile#5142: A high school student with somewhat strict parents MythologicalZ#3752: Haven't seen @SuSSudio around recently but he was in that region too I think DenseReptile#5142: 810 Philippine pesos and still saving MythologicalZ#3752: Was flipping cards at one point so he knew pricing a lot better JustinXenyx#8854: And from my experience, that basically means you are fucked to be completely honest, your used market is pretty garbage to say the least DenseReptile#5142: It's nice I have a little bit of help from cousins though MythologicalZ#3752: What are your local used markets called? DenseReptile#5142: Ouch, that sucks MythologicalZ#3752: Like you do you have Gumtree/Olx? DenseReptile#5142: Well, the former I've never heard, the latter eventually faded to death DenseReptile#5142: The two current popular ones are Lazada and Shopee DenseReptile#5142: Let me tell you something though, they're famous for discounts (and it's advertised quite well too) MythologicalZ#3752: Aight, I'll take a look MythologicalZ#3752: But no offense, 810 pesos is essentially just 16USD DenseReptile#5142: Yeah, still need more saving
MythologicalZ#3752: gotta do a bunch more saving for any kind of decent performing rig DenseReptile#5142: Lots of saving, and lots of spending cuts DenseReptile#5142: Honestly sucks a lot xp MythologicalZ#3752: Shopee looks like an english version of taobao lol DenseReptile#5142: I can only look at envy on the fact my cousin gets great stuff like a Switch and a Roland keyboard while I have half decade old modded Xbox 360 that rarely boots up DenseReptile#5142: I'd be lucky if it boots up when I want it to DenseReptile#5142: Otherwise, frustrated and repeated power button pressing MythologicalZ#3752: Well for a start MythologicalZ#3752: You're only 6 dollars away from a 120GB bx500 MythologicalZ#3752: https://shopee.ph/Intel-i3-2nd-gen-Processor-ASUS-P8H61-1155-MOTHERBOARD-i.76994263.2859204950 MythologicalZ#3752: This isn't bad at all MythologicalZ#3752: About 47USD for an i3 and a h61 board JustinXenyx#8854: I see where you are getting at with the Taobao look, shit looks like a direct rip off JustinXenyx#8854: Hell, that looks so similar it might be Taobao lmao DenseReptile#5142: That actually sounds nice for a start
MythologicalZ#3752: It is MythologicalZ#3752: Even by like US standards or whatever MythologicalZ#3752: just under 50 for a i3 and a board isn't terrible DenseReptile#5142: I could probably settle for integrated graphics for now, DenseReptile#5142: Or a cheap graphics card MythologicalZ#3752: https://shopee.ph/Crucial-BX500-120GB-SSD-3D-NAND-SATA-2.5-Solid-State-Drive-i.592842.1597270614 MythologicalZ#3752: heres the ssd I was talking about MythologicalZ#3752: RAM is pretty expensive though JustinXenyx#8854: I'd make sure to ask around in the family if they have any unneeded PCs or similar JustinXenyx#8854: Can always salvage from old parts DenseReptile#5142: Yeah, there's that, I wonder what would be a good bare minimum MythologicalZ#3752: A case would be a good start DenseReptile#5142: I doubt my dad would wanna give up his desktop DenseReptile#5142: ~~He's honestly quite strict with what I can request from him~~ DenseReptile#5142: ~~To the point I never do that anymore, I now do that with cousins on Christmas instead~~
MythologicalZ#3752: Both shopee and lazada are kinda aids for ram MythologicalZ#3752: Super expensive for even 4gb 1600 MythologicalZ#3752: About ₱750 DenseReptile#5142: Oof, maybe I should try salvaging certain parts, either if there's something better or if it provides me something I need MythologicalZ#3752: so like 14-15 usd DenseReptile#5142: So I asked my cousin, is it true that 2nd gen Intel i3 is bad or not? MythologicalZ#3752: internet shitting itself again DenseReptile#5142: Well, I sent him the link because why not and he said that DenseReptile#5142: Conflicting information confuses me DenseReptile#5142: Who the fuck should I follow? >_< DenseReptile#5142: @MythologicalZ I think I should follow you, you have personal experience but he doesn't JustinXenyx#8854: Well let's put it this way JustinXenyx#8854: It's not optimal, but it's not bad given the price and all the other factors DenseReptile#5142: Yep, it may not be optimal but if it does the job good enough then I'll take it DenseReptile#5142: Also, should I get a GPU for this and how much RAM do I need as a bare minimum
DenseReptile#5142: . I forgot to ask the combined budget for how much my cousins can spend so I can get a PC to start with, why haven't I fucking asked that, I feel stupid MythologicalZ#3752: Yeah soz MythologicalZ#3752: My internet shat itself MythologicalZ#3752: but what justin says is right MythologicalZ#3752: For now I would focus on getting that h61 combo and some ram MythologicalZ#3752: figure out storage and gpu later MythologicalZ#3752: Check with family/friends/whatever for spare parts SuSSudio#2688: I'm not from PH but close enough.

Usually down to just 128MB of DDR2 RAM. The card has 1GB VRAM Physically, however that would make these cards(Which are verified to exist) the last and most powerful 128MB GPU.
In my research i stumbled across an apparent 9800GT BIOS dump claiming to have just 128MB, but i really doubt these exist, as i havent been able to find one in around 2 years, and there is no official release, unlike the 9500GT. Do any of you know any newer cards that have 128MB of VRAM, we're talking Graphics Cards not display adapters than the 9500GT, and well yah, do my claims of the 9500GT 128MB DDR2 being the last 128MB Graphics Card seem correct Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686601796160061623/unknown.png Budget#8265: Just a bit of evidence Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686601952808665124/unknown.png JustinXenyx#8854: It would depend on what we call "verified to exist", i think i remember some dodgy mods where people just axed X amount of VRAM, modded the VBIOS and then claimed the card was shipped defective or some shit Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686602018391064647/unknown.png Budget#8265: Yeah the 9500GT seems to have been sold as a 128MB VRAM GPU officially Budget#8265: Very rare though as only sold in obscure markets Budget#8265: The card has stickers over the VRAM on the box Budget#8265: (it did come boxed) Budget#8265: Will send photos when i have some footage of it JustinXenyx#8854: G210 probably came in at 128MB at some point, but i would doubt it fits the claim "the most powerful 128mb card"
Budget#8265: The GT210 unfortunately wouldnt be as powerful Budget#8265: Making this the last proper graphics card released as a 128MB Variant Budget#8265: A bit like the 8800GT being 256MB JustinXenyx#8854: Next thing i'd check is the Radeon spectrum JustinXenyx#8854: Given ATIs history of doing dumb shit i would expect them to have done something similar with a more powerful card Budget#8265: The issue is in the era where 128MB was viable, AMD was useless Budget#8265: The HD2000 Series saw very few releases Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686603238262439943/unknown.png Budget#8265: I appreciate this search when looking JustinXenyx#8854: @Jam I'd figure this would be more your type of ordeal, how would a ATI X1650 GT compare to a 9500GT? Jam#0384: It would be slower Jam#0384: X1950 Pro 256MB is 8600GT/GS speeds Jam#0384: 512MB is slightly faster JustinXenyx#8854: So a 1650GT 128MB would be a lot worse, right Jam#0384: GT is only a slight underclock
Budget#8265: the 9500GT surpasses an 8600GT Budget#8265: Its a shit release that had very little point Jam#0384: 1650 is probably on par with the 8400GS Budget#8265: But it was a bad era for the midrange era of cards Jam#0384: Yes Jam#0384: 8600GT Jam#0384: was not so good Budget#8265: @Tech Helper here be the screenshot Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686622633034252376/unknown.png Budget#8265: It does indeed seem to be a 128MB GPU MythologicalZ#3752: Nice MythologicalZ#3752: Also Budget#8265: yes MythologicalZ#3752: About that 9800GT dump, dunno if they were a thing back then but cards that had VRAM issues and were out of warranty occasionally had modders build BIOS revisions to limit usage MythologicalZ#3752: I knew a guy who did some for Fermi I think
Budget#8265: Ah right Budget#8265: So its not a legit release like the 9500GT Budget#8265: Intresting Budget#8265: Maybe in a spin off video ill try one of those out Elecks#1913: Im looking for an replacement of my GeForce4 Ti 4400, but i dont know what to get 😅 Jam#0384: Replacement for what purpose TheGeekster#8508: Like... retro gaming? modern gaming? minesweeper?

Or a 7600GT Jam#0384: those are all relatively affordable
Jam#0384: I have an evil collection of AGP video cards @TheGeekster TheGeekster#8508: consider them an investment at this point Jam#0384: I have spent a lot of money overall Jam#0384: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686643453798383728/image0.jpg Jam#0384: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686643497461350525/image0.jpg Jam#0384: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686643552389955624/image0.jpg Jam#0384: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686643640138858517/image0.jpg Jam#0384: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686643764357234719/image0.jpg Jam#0384: I recommend ATi @TheGeekster Elecks#1913: Here locally my current 4400 is listed for $70 is that the value? Jam#0384: Yes, pretty much Jam#0384: They rarely go lower than that Jam#0384: I got mine (8X 4800SE) for $50 which is relatively cheap Jam#0384: It’s not in the best shape though Jam#0384: Copper on the cooler has some tarnish and theres some damage on one of the small stickers
Elecks#1913: You say 9600 PRO will do fine? Elecks#1913: oh yea, that would be a great upgrade, according to this: https://technical.city/en/video/Radeon-9600-PRO-vs-GeForce4-Ti-4400 Jam#0384: Yes Jam#0384: 9600 Pro is a very good card Jam#0384: And it requires no molex or floppy power too Elecks#1913: i found an local listing, hopefully its still available JustinXenyx#8854: My sensible advice on retro gaming rn is: If you want a truly dedicated rig for it, build one with parts that have reasonable compatibility and performance for what you want to play and keep the price humane JustinXenyx#8854: AKA do not go out to buy X card just because it is rarer Elecks#1913: *unless its dirt cheap* ^^ JustinXenyx#8854: well i need to correct myself tdp2612#3835: and if you do find something rare, buy it if youre getting a great price, think you can make money from it, or really want it tdp2612#3835: dont buy it because its there and you have money in the bank JustinXenyx#8854: AKA do not go out to buy X card for stupid amounts of money just because it is rarer JustinXenyx#8854: now that's right
Elecks#1913: For now im aiming at the 9600 PRO as i found one for around $3 Elecks#1913: not sure if its an great model, but for $3.. GiGabyte ATI Radeon GVR96P128DE Jam#0384: Irrelevant with those cards Jam#0384: Are model is good Jam#0384: Buy it Jam#0384: @JustinXenyx I spend stupid amounts of money on AGP video cards, just not $150-$400 they want for the voodoos and dumb shit hare_ware#4880: I can't seem to find much information on this for some reason. Can I use a ECC memory in a non-ECC motherboard with a Xeon CPU? It's a Dell Optiplex 990, I want to put a Xeon E3 1245 V1 in it and I've been running out of RAM a lot lately. Would putting a 32GB of cheap server DDR3 in it work? I don't really care about actually using ECC, just more RAM. hare_ware#4880: Lmao I feel so dumb asking this TheFifthAce#4128: no hare_ware#4880: Why not? Jam#0384: Because the motherboard doesnt support it Jam#0384: It's as easy as that Jam#0384: Both the motherboard and cpu have to support it Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^^^^^ Jam#0384: Besides, non-ECC DDR3 is pretty cheap. Just don't bother with speed on Intel or heatspreaders
Jam#0384: 1333 or 1600 is fine Jam#0384: and those can usually overclock one tier up TheFifthAce#4128: because I've tested it extensively out of boredom TheFifthAce#4128: and it does not work Jam#0384: @TheFifthAce free DDR1 now TheFifthAce#4128: I have like 50gb of ddr1 TheFifthAce#4128: do you want it Jam#0384: Yes Jam#0384: I am running crucially low TheFifthAce#4128: giv 5$ Jam#0384: haha get it crucial Jam#0384: @TheFifthAce deal TheFifthAce#4128: just shipping costs tbh Jam#0384: is any of it nice Jam#0384: not that it matters
TheFifthAce#4128: it's all green and idk if it works but theres a shit ton Jam#0384: idrc :Xdxdxd: Jam#0384: Works for me Jam#0384: $5 is $5 ;) TheFifthAce#4128: ok theres less than I thought there was TheFifthAce#4128: I think I gave away some Jam#0384: o TheFifthAce#4128: 19 sticks Jam#0384: are any 1GB TheFifthAce#4128: doubt it TheFifthAce#4128: oh there are Jam#0384: yeah any 1GB and 512MB sticks are very epic hare_ware#4880: Wait, will an ECC supported CPU work with non-ECC memory and mobo? TheFifthAce#4128: 5 sticks of 1g TheFifthAce#4128: @hare_ware yes
TheFifthAce#4128: you dont need ecc for xeon hare_ware#4880: Okay thanks! Jam#0384: 5 sticks of 1GB! Jam#0384: :D Lady Mipha#0611: :epicgamer: Jam#0384: I'll definitely give the $5 for it no issue hare_ware#4880: Hmmm, thanks amazon https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3200-UNBUFFERED-Non-ECC-184-PIN/dp/B0009PAYY8 Jam#0384: Either wednesday or next week TheFifthAce#4128: I'll just toss a fuck ton of ram in a flat rate Jam#0384: I know its $5 lol TheFifthAce#4128: and you can deal with it Jam#0384: I dont care TheFifthAce#4128: some ddr1 some ddr2 some ddr3 Jam#0384: I toss most ram around like its worthless Jam#0384: seems good to me
