General computer talk/advice

have a look at the weird layout in the prodigy and it makes some sense with gpu not blocking airflow.

otherwise little

 

You could just flip the same layout and have the GPUs not blocking airflow at the bottom of the case.

 

Why is my gpu only at like 80~90% power? instead of more? (running Valley Benchmark). I have it set to 120% max.

 

Either the voltage isn't high enough to draw more power, or you've hit the thermal limit.

 

just like dell desktops and there fucking abysmal btx boards

 

that's the point, it blocks the bottom of the case normally, flip, it's at the top and air can pass around the front unobstructed from the power supply. In that compact case it makes sense for layout purposes

 

eww i hate those.

Also
i got a wyse text only dumb terminal to login to ubuntu. its so simple. but there is really no documentation on it. It also doesnt help that i cant linux. I am trying to learn it though. sorry for blurry pic

 

ikr
dell= heavy throttling

 

for example, these piece of crap heatsinks. i think these are crap.

 

what even were they, how the fuck did they think that would work

 

Airflow? except not through the heatsink...

 

Take a look at what I have on my desk.

Spoiler: Image

 

Lolno. It's cause I can.

So I got a Thinkpad T60. Seems to work okay so far. Haven't installed Winders yet but I did take the heatsink off and crap. Was a smokers laptop and all, but not that bad. It's the old 4:3 style which I really like. So yeah.

 

I wish they still made 4:3 laptops, I actually like it much better for anything not gaming/video.

 

Should I upgrade my Graphic Card, CPU Or RAM

 

You have a graphics card? "Intel HD graphics"

 

Yes :\
EDIT: I Barely know anything about computers.

 

Well, how much money you got to spend on upgrades?

 

Alright. 4Ghz is nice on the spec sheets anyway.
But when was the T60 produced? Five years ago? Seven? Does it work on Win 10? How many laptops do you have?

 

The T60 was made around '05 - '06 IIRC first of the ThinkPads after the Lenovo takeover of IBM but some T60's still had the IBM logo on them, also first of the ThinkPad series to have a Core 2 Duo most commonly a T2400. I recently sold my T60 as well as my T400.
