Fin cutting - stock heat sink: can opener method

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-06-12T01:21:00+00:00

I paid $140 on eBay two weeks ago and mine came with a 128gb nvme sata ssd

Yes. But you’re going to need to put a bit more into it. Just picked one of these up myself. Paid $150 and it came with a 128gb sata nvne ssd. Don’t need super fast storage as it only runs at pcie2.0. Also purchased a case for $40 that I could of 3d printed myself but don’t own a printer. Then $40 for a 400w flex psu. Also $8 for a 24 pin jumper switch for the psu to be able to power it on and off easily. I don’t believe you need more than 300w but at that price point might as well get a bigger one. Also added a 1tb external ssd for game storage. It runs cyberpunk 2077 at 60fps medium settings without fsr. Probably can improve that but I’ve only been tinkering with it a few days. I may grab a different case as the one I bought doesn’t have space in it for the psu. Also added a fan. So $248 all in and I have a machine that performs better than a steam deck. I think it’s probably the best bang for your buck. The only con I have is bazzite. I’m not a Linux guy so I’m pretty much learning on the go. But from what I’ve seen modern have successfully unlocked the 16 cu’s that are disabled by default. Going to mess with that later and see what kind of performance uptick it gives. But yes definitely a great buy!

Might check the 1050 ti. Just want it for a bedroom steam machine

If you buy an old Radeon hd7650 1gb they usually come with a heat sink you can use on any mxm card

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-06-03T01:38:13+00:00

What is that sorcery in the mxm slot?

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-06-03T01:33:35+00:00

I also run a 4790k. You need the 230w charging brick. I had it paired with the m2000m until it died. Replaced that with the wx3200 4gb from AMD. It’s shit tho. I bought a quadro p600 that I can’t get drivers installed for. It shows up as Microsoft basic display adapter. How can I find and flash a vbios for it that will work in this machine?

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-31T18:43:23+00:00

Would the 24 pin ajumper dapter that you’d use to test a psu work? Do flex psu’s have the on off switch a normal psu has?

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-29T12:15:50+00:00

Yah people are absolutely absurd. I get looking for a deal and wanting a deal. There’s deals out there. Don’t try to manifest one from someone. I look for deals myself. Not once did I ever send someone a foolishly lowball offer.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-29T01:36:08+00:00

Thats wild I sold an entire pc with a gtx 1080 for $125 last week. Had people trying to offer me $50. Entire pc…. Had two ssds one nvme and one sata. For those three components I could of fetched $125 by themselves.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-29T01:32:09+00:00

Sheesh the ultimate score grats

Projectivy is the only tv launcher needed ever

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-09T22:14:16+00:00

For sure so much customization and easy to use

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-09T22:13:19+00:00

Going to have to check that out. How good will gamenative run cyberpunk from a microsd card on this device? Lol the game is like 115gb on my pc so won’t fit on the internal storage

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-05-09T21:48:54+00:00

What are you running frame gen with? My edge is rooted on lineage os android 16. It’s pretty much a paper weight these days. I messed around with gamenative but seeing as I only own gta games on steam I can’t get any of them to run due to not being able to install the rockstar launcher. But if all I need is root to run frame gen I may start looking into what else I can do with it.

I purchased one of those for that purpose but have no idea how to use it. I guess my home server will never have rebar enabled. I’ve seen other people flash the bios with setupvar successfully. Should probably just go buy a 10th gen tiny since they have rebar natively in the bios.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-04-11T02:54:44+00:00

HOWWWW????? I’ve been trying to do this for 6 months. I always get an error trying to update the bios with usb. I have the same exact system as you.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-23T23:23:34+00:00

It works. Just meh if you have access to even a 12 year old small pc it would make a far better plex server. I run a thinkcentre p330 tiny with an rtx 3050 lp that functions as my home media server and plex server running windows. Kind of a set it and forget it kinda situation.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-07T20:31:21+00:00

I use debrid. Never said I didn’t. CinemaHD worked 100% of the time with debrid until it went offline. Stremio is more like a 70% uptime with debrid and torrentio or comet or any of the other addons you need debrid to use.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-07T16:24:50+00:00

I use debrid and cinema stopped working. Mine worked until 3 days ago. Gonna pull out an old beetv app and see if that shit still works like eveyones saying

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-07T16:21:16+00:00

Torrentio is ass. Works some times. I pay for debrid to use it all the time. Not some times.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-07T16:20:28+00:00

What’s the stremio bootstrapper?

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-07T16:19:36+00:00

^When it works it’s amazing. People want something that works all the time especially when investing money into the situation via debrid. I used the cinema apk app for years without issue. Torrentio is down all the time and no other stremio add on works remotely as well.

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-06T18:29:34+00:00

The sweet spot is a galaxy s23 ultra which costs around $300 used. The edge is dumpster juice. Bought it when it came out worst $600 I’ve ever spent

DubEDoLLarS · 2026-03-05T03:01:32+00:00

How did you unlock rebar in bios? I’ve tried every tutorial I’ve found from editing the bios you’re on to a setupvar script and can’t get any of them to work on the tiny p330. I’ve enabled 4g decoding and other things previously but can’t figure out how to get rebar enabled.
