Hbu user?

Just ended up with a Y2K Dell with a Pentium 4 that's shittier than several P3s and a Geforce 2 MX 400. I'm more excited by this than the GTX 1080 I bought recently.

RX 580
i5 6500
16GB ram
Windows Embedded Standard
Random non branded case.

Good old old school hardware my man

It's justifying the spindle of CD-Rs I kept on the shelf and the BD burner I fished out of my 2010 build for my current PC, too. It's like a little slice of simpler times.

I too have a spindle of cds lying around.
Burned battlefront 2, arx fatalis and recently found the playstation one demo...

How detrimentally am i fucking myself?

having 1x 8 gb ddr 4 is terrible
i keep having problem with the v-sync

gpu?

>gtx 1060 6gb
>Ryzen 5
It runs 1080p fine, but I wish got a better rig so I could run 1440p or 4k

1060 3gb
but probably is the shitty cooler

Core 2 Duo reporting for another day of duty.

>buying any intel chips now and not waiting for them to be redesigned and fixed

>Ryzen 5

1600? don't forget to overclock
stock cooler can take it up to 3.8ghz ez

>i9
wew
Nice app though

i7 7700K
GTX 180ti
Asus Strix Z270 motherboard
16GB ram
Fractal design R5

I have a Vega 64, thinking about selling it as I would earn almost double what I paid for it but then I wouldn't have a good GPU and I don't know when prices will come down. All I have is a spare GTX 960 which can play everything of course but not at the level I've gotten used to.

WHat do you mean problem with v-sync? Have you enabled it at driver level with the Nvidia control panel?

What did they mean by this?

>Xeon E5-2670 (2 of them for 32 threads)
>128GB DDR3 ECC RAM (16 sticks of 8GB)
>GTX 980
>6TB 15k HDDs in RAID10
Here's hoping I won't have to upgrade anything until at least 2022.

Hey, you too? I've got a [email protected] and a 980ti. Really don't want to shell out hundreds for a new CPU, RAM, and mobo.

...

Still using 6700k @ 4.6 and a 980ti. Don’t see a reason to upgrade for a while as it does 1440p for what I wanna play fine.

>Home
I don't care what hardware you have, the fact that you're willing to cheap out on the most important piece of software on your computer tells me you're either poor or enjoy taking Microsoft dick up your ass.

The 8700 non-k version is a waste of shekels

>too shit for anything modern
>can just about play older games decently
>cant max out older games or fuck about with the limits on old games

Why is my 970 able to max out MGSV but not Metal Gear Survive without framerate drops? I thought Survive was just basically glorified DLC for MGSV

...

>MSI

See you in a year or 2 when the POS craps out. Return it if you can

why the hell would I need a pro for?

To be able to control how your OS works, to disable literal advertisements in the start menu and elsewhere, and to tell Windows who the owner of your hardware is.
Don't cuck yourself and your superior hardware with inferior software.

Bet your gpu can't do this.

I have an Acer Laptop.

>417 degrees Celsius
I thought after a certain point PCs automatically shut down when things get too hot

I'll keep it into consideration.

>GPU at the temperature of a smelting facility
>VRMs are fine
First day with Paint?

GPUs do tend to shutdown under runaway thermal conditions.

Its not a shoop. For some inexplicable reason when running unigine valley and gpu-z caused incorrect readings. I've had the valley in-benchmark stats report over 2000c core temps before.

>No room for optical drive
Fuck off.
>Steam
Fuck off shill.

Bought this as soon as the 8700k was released, but haven't played many games, yet.

Sup Forums was right you people really are hopeless

What's your problem?

What is it like being so paranoid that you think the mere mention of a game client makes you think someone is a shill?

>optical drive
Good.

Using the most stripped-down version of an already shitty OS with forced ads everywhere Microsoft can put them. If you really can't afford Pro or Enterprise there's plenty of cracks available.

Sup Forums is a trash board, people bragging about their $200 used thinkpads with core 2 duos, who don't do anything with their computer besides ricing Arch+i3 and editing mpv configuration files.

I have a Deathstalker keyboard that I got on sale and looking to switch to a mechanical kb. Corsair K70 has all the features I want, but it so fucking expensive.

>forced ads everywhere

I've never seen a single ad.

How do you like your Candy Crush and Edge telling you it's better than Chrome and Firefox. Or Cortana popping up notifications about the latest memes?

CPU is at 4GHz

As I said, haven't seen any of that garbage. I've used Edge to download Chrome, but that's about it.

What's the point in overclocking it with a 1060?

How's this?

>liquid cooling

I can't get noctua fans where I live.

where is the graphics card

Built in 2013.

i have that exact same ram and it was $80 when i got it a little over a year ago. holy shit

huh?

>these temps

I once got it up to ~150°F running GTA V. My motherboard works better as a heat sink than my heat sink, and it's at the point where it's not worth investing in this rig. Prolly just gonna build a new one from scratch when I get the money.

Delid this pls

Why is the intel die job that bad?

The TIM is worse than mayo

goddamnit

Sorry user, you'll be ok though

fuckin hell mang.... delidding videos look even scarier than putting a cpu into the board socket

>i7 8700 non k

why?

Not going to overclock, baseclock is neglectable because turbo clock is the same also 40 bucks less

You can just buy one of those nutcracker delidder things if you want, or use the old razorblade cutting method.

...

be quiet dark rock 3 or the dark rock 3 pro?

>Delidding a non k

dont be dum

Your cooling is *more* than adequate for a locked 8700

I have an 8700k at 5ghz and that cooling would be adequate without delidding

last time i purchase AMD for sure.

woops forgot image.

Phew mang was watching delidding videos and it outright scared me
Also Linus is getting even cringier than in the past years in his latest videos

My room is cold as fuck

My speccy still has that 20 degree CPU offset, gotta update it eventually

Wait a fucking minute 4GB 1080???

You must be new to this
Speccy can't into GPU memory depending on it's setup

Why the hell not

Pentium G4560
Palit StomX GTX1050 Ti 4GB
8GB DDR4 2400 RAM
basic MSI mobo
basic Silentium black monolith case

Basically a bit better performance of a ps4 for like $560 (with tax, mind that I'm from EU) but I can run dev tools better than on my shitty laptop, can play all the games I've even bought, can buy games for pennies on sales or just pirate them. Feels good.

im upgrading to intel
its actually funny. i will have a strong i7 but miners will make me play with a 7870 hahaha waiting on the case

OP here i'm so happy i bought my 1080 couple of months back
Got it for unter 500 bucks, it's now sitting at nearly 700

oh wow, when was the last time you used a disk? i havent used one is over 5 years haha

how can you even emulate with 2005 hardware

Do not get the 400c. Worst case I have ever had the displeasure of building in. Tiny, and shitty build quality.

on a side note does anyone have a better quality pic of alien todd?

I saved 600 euros buying a pre-built off Amazon

Cause reasons
Such as with the 1080ti it only detects the modules on the far right

How much thermal overhead can I gain by adding more fans? My cpu is water cooled and I have one small fan on my top exhaust. I've started to overclock my gpu and I can get 2089 mhz on the core but it heats up to ~90 c when stressed. I was thinking getting a larger fan for my exhaust and adding 2 fans to the front of my case to suck in cold air.

>tfw used to have 970, no issues running anything
>Upgraded to a 1080 before the crypto bullshit fucked everything up
>Class action comes out
>Send in both the amazon receipt and the retailer receipt into the class action
>Get the money twice for a graphics card I don't even use and never had any issue with
>Return the old 970 under warranty after complaining to amazon about the class action
>Now have 2x class action money and full refund
I genuinely pity ppl who DIDN'T get scammed and then reverse scam.

>msi 1080
>7700

Ive been meaning to build a new computer but I'm a poor-fag and prices have fucking skyrocketed because of Cryptocurrencies
Life is pain

OC bulldozer is not too bad, yes it uses a lot of power and deliverers shit but its enough to play gamecube and wii and make 3d models plus Photoshop...very slowly mind you.

check fractal design meshifi C case its GREAT

I am guessing thats bad.

>crysis
>1080p video
I'm curious user, how long have you had this picture

good move.

Get a Ryzen 2400G with fast 2933+ MHz RAM, preferably in dual channel (2 sticks, like 2x4 or 2x8)

i am planing on buying myself a new pc but i think i'll buy wich part individually whenever i see a sale.

What spec do you guys recommend?

im STILL waiting on EVGA to have them on sale, they disappear to quickly even at 1 person. i refuse to buy a GPU for 1k fucking madness and nvida says it will take until 2019 to fix this shit.
