most metal recyclers will take lead acid and nickel batteries and pay scrap weight, AutoZone typically pays a flat amount and has a limit (but they do not always adhere to it.) so depending on what you have the scrap yard may be a better value. technically you could save up old disposable...

I come and go fairly irregularly. But that is a good place to start. There was a bunch of scam listings for CPUs on amazon earlier today. About 2 weeks ago the HR department where i worked got scammed. I wish there was some 'one size fits all' advice here. But there just isn't.

the ghetto rig that is running these bleeds a LOT of wattage for the remainder of the crap components attached to it. and i have to use a PCIE expander in a very specific PCIE slot to get R mode to work because the BIOS on this ghetto turd does not allow me to configure PCIE generation and when...

Im running 4x 5700xt and the total rig is under 580 watt. But none of the rig is really built for efficiency, it was all price at the time of purchase. Even the cpu fan is a 2500rpm LED fan. Are A2000s better. Sure. By enough for me to care. Nah.

this. 5700xt cards hash at a better efficiency than even shunt modded a2000 cards. i only have 10 cards left mining and i am right at break even on ETC as long as the ETC network hash stays under 200TH. but even if it is a little over i don't plan on shutting down. i do wish ETHpoW would...

9. i am still running heatsinks that were designed for socket 939 chips, so i would assume it will be fine. the list is spot on tho.

just in the hive config file? was there any tricks to using a custom pool? ive been meanin to look and see how hard it would be to customize hiveos to NOT use any of the hiveos cloud crap.

a high end gaming rig can be built out of a r5 5600 cpu. a GTX1630 is underkill for a ryzen 3100.

159 for the 5600 ryzen 75 for a b550 mb 104 32gb 3200 ddr4 thats a lot of performance for 350$

the 5600 on neweg comes out to 159.99 today. i feel bad for people trying to sell a ryzen 3000 series CPU at the moment.

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-5600-ryzen-5-5000-series/p/N82E16819113736 an actual good deal. today only.

really? my 5600XTs and 2080 supers are still netting 200% profit a day compared to the cost of running them. and those are not the most efficient cards on the planet. i like when crypto 'crashes' so i can mine more of it in a shorter time because everyone else stops mining.

there are some guides on moving windows from BIOS to UEFI. https://www.maketecheasier.com/convert-legacy-bios-uefi-windows10/ honestly, it sounds like you would be better off savings things you want to keep on to a USB drive, then setting the PC into UEFI boot and installing a clean windows...

the OCD in me would have put the ends of the zipties on the inside towards the heatsink. that should work nicely though, the older thermalrights are still very good, most hat a dissipation rating of at least 135w, the coppers were well north of that.

Man i just sold a 3800x for 175$ and it sat for a couple days. I dunno why cpu prices here are so high but look other places.
