    Closed: Ryzen 5 Mobo, CPU, RAM for budget to mid-range gaming build

    My sister just put my 12 year old nephew in touch with me after his dream of getting a PS5 has died to buy a "gaming PC." I started crying after he linked me a refurbished dell 1030 from Walmart that was being claimed as gaming because it had an RGB keyboard and in an effort to use some of my...

    Need input on a new laptop for creative

    So recently Asus launched their zenbook pro duo seemingly targeted at creators which just looks really sexy, right as I was two days away from buying the HP Spectre x360 2 in 1 for content creation. I primarily work on Lightroom and Photoshop and was looking for a good touch interface so I can...

    WTB: 1080TI found one*

    Found one, thanks everyone! I'd prefer something that has a waterblock and factory cooler. I'm in the process of building a new rig and my 970's HDMI port just went out on me so I'm hoping to have something with fans now that I can add to the waterloop when I get the new Mobo and CPU in on the...

    F@H Back on Off Hours

    Howdy all, It's been a while since I've contributed but I wanted to say I'm back and also ask a question. I live in the Bay area of Cali and electricity here is VERY expensive depending on time of day (I've got an EV so I don't have to worry about tiers just buckets). I'm interested in...

    40 Million Point Goal/End

    Hey guys, I haven't posted all that much on here but I think I'm going to start to ratchet back my folding once I hit the 40 Million point mark. I know it's rather arbitrary but my server has been sitting plugging away thanks to the help I've gotten from you guys for the last 4 months or so...

    What did I do? Core 78?

    So I was back for the weekend and tinkered with my system some more and thought I had everything going just swell when today I checked online and I hadn't uploaded anything, which is odd so I remote into the server and look back in the terminal window, it said I had just completed a project and...

    My First WU on a 4p

    So I've been inactive for the past month because my power bill was quite high after the push for 900m and I really needed to take some time off, well, I finally got around to putting together my 4p a few weeks ago but I hadn't done the OS install or any of the software work. I was starting to...

    G34 Board 32 2GB DIMMs only showing 60GB in BIOS

    Howdy all, So I just got my 4p up and folding and I'm slightly confused, Bios only shows 60 GB of RAM when all of my slots are full and I'm fairly certain I should have 64. Is there any way to tell which ram needs to be reseated or do I have to reseat the whole lot and hope that helps...

    Got a SM H8QGI+-F No Power Switch

    Didn't think of this when I was getting all my parts but what do you all recommend for a power switch, I just turned it on now by shorting the two pins but I don't think that is a very good long term solution (who knows maybe it is...) Further I'll be starting my linux install later today...

    Help! 92C on 2600k

    Hey... so I have a 2600k with a modest overclock, cooled by an antec kuhler 620 in push pull (well it was push pull... more on that), 4.4GHz that is managed by the bios of my ASROCK Z68 Professional Gen3 motherboard (we can go into why its managed by the bios and not manually done later if you...

    Hyper TX3 G34 Mod?

    So I'm in the process of putting together a 4p, I ordered my SM mobo, my crucial RAM, a nice Antec PSU, and a couple of those PCIe -> EPS converters (do I really need both of them?) and I've come to a stopping point on my cooling solution for a set of 6128s. The normal CM refurb deal is sold...

    What defines "Long-term [H] DCer"

    Hi all, So I've been wondering this for a bit, when I drop in the DC FS/FT almost everyone has either two prices listed for "normal" vs "long term [H] DCer" or they have one price listed and they prefer to deal with a long term [H] DCer. Granted these terms are relative and I've seen it stated...

    2600k @ 4.4GHz w/ Antec Kuhler 620 do I need better cooling?

    I am trying to figure out if what I am seeing is appropriate and if I should consider upgrading my cooling solution for my CPU. I have the system in my sig - the voltage to the CPU is auto running at right around 1.345v, my systems cooling, depending on ambient, is right around 70-75C at...

    Surround/Eyefinity on unmatched displays

    So to start this out, I have never used surround or eyefinity before, and I'm interested in trying it maybe. my first question is can I use it on different displays. I bought a nice 24" 1920x1200 benQ a while back and then I upgraded to twin ASUS 23.6" displays which are each 1920x1080. I...

    How to get i7 3770k on release

    I don't know how previous new chip releases go, but I imagine they sell our pretty quickly since it will be a limited release (by the sounds of it). Well I just got a Z68 board off of another forum member to use the chip in and I would like to get it release day but I've never heard of a...

    Why use certain payment methods?

    So I'm new here and I have been checking out the FS forum and it seems that a lot of people only take amazon payments or non-cc PayPal. Why is this and doesn't it mean buyers have less protection? Thanks in advance and looking forward to hanging out!
