I remember seeing a sale on a 1050 ti that was like 90 some dollars (US) but that was on some site that I don't remember...
I'm pretty sure this will help absolutely no one. But if for whatever reason you really want to play a old a$$ game, running windows XP through Oracles VM software works kind of well.
I think I tempted fate, my grandparents PC is faltering. The PC PSU is from some unheard of brand. I think KoolPC or something.
I don't know, it was sketchy to say the least, and you know it's bad when it's got their phone number printed on the label! Not KoolPC that's for sure.
i don't remember it, i'll open the PC when i have a new PSU. It's sketchy to say the least. It has a fan on it and it varies with load, (well you start the computer and it's quiet, then after about 5 minutes it's loud, i'm surprised there is thermal logic tbh, or it might be a timer ).
it's old, Pentium Dual Core E7600. What's odd is that the OEM motherboard, is actually overclockable, i installed a custom BIOS and went from 3.2 to 3.6GHz without increasing the voltage, and hence not much harm was done. I put a custom cooler on it ($12 amazon one) to make it quieter and well it does work. Probably shouldn't have done that with the sketchy PSU. Also i have since added a GT610 to help along with YouTube, yes it's no gaming monster but it does the job. But the extra load on the PSU isn't wonderful. And yes, i have played BeamNG on it. And it gets 60FPS if you want it to. Even with a T Series. And i tested it Overclocked too! Quite interesting! But the poor GT610 is passively cooled, so the poor thing gets hot doing gaming
PSU replacement.. "A Open" Got dust? --- Post updated --- Aaaand it's dead Won't Post. No video, with or without GPU.
yep. I think some of it might have been conductive, the motherboard is dead now so i exchanged it with my old dell which is still plugging along with a Q6600 and GTX 750, with the latter obviously going to be used to the fullest potential by my grandparents
building a new pc ryzen 3 1300x MSI gaming x 4 gb 1050 Ti b350 tomahawk mobo 500gb ssd 500w psu thoughts?
A 500gb SSD seems a little out of place on such a budget oriented system. If the rest of the components fulfill your requirements then go for it, 500gb of ssd space will be a really nice experience. Otherwise you may want to look at a smaller ssd and upgrading your gpu. That is of course assuming this is a gaming PC. RAM is also super expensive right now, so make sure to budget for that if you need to buy some. Equally a case if you aren't planning on reusing an previous one.
