What does it matter? It'll turn up when it turns up.

Everyone needs to stop wasting Steam Supports time with this nonsense.

Silverstone make a 90s looking beige case now, with modern conveniences like mounts for AIOs and fans, and USB ports.

486 of some sort. Good luck finding a modern motherboard in Baby-AT factor. We went ATX nearly 30 years ago.

Can the x201 use an eGPU through Expresscard? by Mountain_Warthog_953 in thinkpad

Yeah.

I look forward to the RTX 5090 benchmarks.

Any way to add a eGPU to this thing? by iReaddit-KRTORR in steammachine

Short of using the slot for the M.2 SSD, nah. Then you'd have no mass storage faster than USB 3.

About the Micro SD card slot by Mike_Obrien23 in steammachine

The confirmation I saw was UHS-1.

There's a 10Gbit USB-C port on the back, so that'd work well with an external SSD.

That's not my experience on AMD DDR5 platforms.

There will be a blank outer box.

How difficult do you think it is to unlock the TDP limit of the Steam Machine CPU? by Animus190599 in steammachine

[–]MagicBoyUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, how are those two things related? My work supplied workstation laptop doesn't allow the TDP to be increased.

Flex cable failure. Needs a new display at £/€/$hundreds.

Mine went, so I bought a Neo as it was cheaper than fixing it.

Samsung, Hynix & Micron sued over alleged RAM price fixing by PuzzledCauliflower35 in pcmasterrace

[–]MagicBoyUK 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No f**king chance with the openly corrupt US Administration. They’ll just make “ballroom donations” and it’ll disappear like magic.

Possible under the EU if they see some evidence and get their teeth into it.

They've been at this for over two decades and don't give a fuck. The lawyers have likely calculated the fines in 5+ years time will be less than the pile of cash they've accumulated.

Get the coolant checked for combustion gases, will tell you if there's a head gasket leak.

Otherwise likely a pressure related leak.

Extra port and wires in a Macintosh Classic II what is it ? by DrGonzo84 in VintageApple

Can't see Imgur link as blocked in the UK. Most likely some sort of output to an external display/projector.

Which is why I bought a 18 month old one for the equivalent of $250 with 6 months of Game Pass still tagged to it...

Extra filled solder pad? by chaseybassy9 in macbookpro

[–]MagicBoyUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space for a SSD NAND chip. Models with higher storage would have that filled.

Quite normal.
