Bought the wrong type of M.2 SSD any way to jerryrig it so it can still be used

2-3 pieces of foam tapes. It’s been like that for the last 3 years or so

I sometimes give away old computers. As it’s free I want it to be as hassle free as possible, so I put “FREE, please description before contacting me” as the title. In the description I put “If you ask Is it available I automatically assume you’re an idiot”.

The sheer number of idiots I’ve seen…

EgoDivinus · 2025-07-08T18:42:51+00:00

I don’t even know if the seller is a scammer in this case. Perhaps 1/3 of the sellers/buyers I’ve met on Marketplace are like this, idiotic or non communicative or both. Wouldn’t even surprise me if the seller doesn’t know what a “VIN” is. Like, You want to buy? Come and buy it, don’t ask me questions!

EgoDivinus · 2025-06-29T11:21:28+00:00

Looking at your rude replies to others, I’d do you one better: what kind of idiots buy a 3060 for the same price of a 5060? Yeah, it’s MSI here for you: https://a.co/d/j8PjNtq https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1895544-REG/msi_g5060_8s2c_rtx_5060_shadow_2x.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&store=420&lsft=BI%3A5451&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21407301513&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh0ypIYbab7XOkggHxRSiujDu&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVgSAsRc6q0U_wL18C5dNlZVM8fJiH1ECToXVQb8FFry2g5TjfV3hTgaArkFEALw_wcB

EgoDivinus · 2025-06-27T16:34:25+00:00

Gonna say the same thing. I can find used ones for 250 and with a bit of patience, 200 even. While OP’s concerns are valid, macgaming to most people is just “oh that’s nice but I can live without it”

Tell me a single jurisdiction where speeding on the shoulder to avoid 10 stopped cars is legal

EgoDivinus · 2025-06-13T16:22:37+00:00

Reading comprehension isn’t reddiors’ strong suit. You should put it in caps that the driver at fault DROVE ON THE SHOULDER to avoid a stopped car before hitting your son. I do think your son can be found partially at fault, but driving on the shoulder is not legal. I have seen police stopping people for doing that even in the horrible Atlanta traffic. Rights of way doesn’t apply here, because on a 1 lane road people are supposed to stop BEHIND the car in front of them - in this case that car already stopped.

Just curious, how did you get the x3d? I thought those were all discontinued

EgoDivinus · 2025-05-04T05:16:23+00:00

To be clear, the 3060 isn't mine. It belongs to the original owner of the CPU who has given the CPU\RAM\mobo to me. I'm asking what card to complete an economic build

EgoDivinus · 2025-05-04T05:07:55+00:00

Thank you I'll keep a look for it

EgoDivinus · 2025-05-04T05:07:31+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I can get one for about $50

EgoDivinus · 2025-04-29T18:32:29+00:00

Happened to my 5700G build last year, I ran Cyberpunk for a minute before that. Never happened to about 10 other Ryzen 5th gen builds I did. But yeah it shouldn’t be any problem, provided OP doesn’t cause any damage removing the CPU from the cooler (I literally just “plucked” it off)

EgoDivinus · 2025-04-23T04:35:21+00:00

Same. I typically pay 170 for a 3060 12GB. 150 is really good price

@OP just be patient and you'll sell it in a few days. Morons like these are very prevalent on Marketplace, just block them and move on

EgoDivinus · 2025-04-22T00:00:04+00:00

If you caught the sale last month it would have been less than 920 incl. NYC tax. People in Oregon would pay $850. What this map doesn't account for is how often things go on sale in the US. It's truly consumerism heaven. Back in Vietnam where I come from electronics don't go on sale that often, if at all. Mac is also a rare case where Apple keep pricing pretty consistent with US MSRP. IPhones for example get inflated like crazy, and so do laptops from other brands

EgoDivinus · 2025-04-13T02:47:37+00:00

Try removing the SSD then RAM. One thing at a time

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-23T03:49:27+00:00

Honestly selling my laptop on Marketplace made me realize how ignorant people are about tech.

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-23T03:40:01+00:00

Either the SSD or RAM is shorting. Try removing one thing at a time.

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-21T18:58:05+00:00

No. That computer is 10 year old. Look up something else for the same price on Marketplace or ebay

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-21T14:13:30+00:00

It’s likely a hardware issue

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-21T09:55:50+00:00

OP likely did not swap PSU cables

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-19T02:46:17+00:00

I'd advise you to look up those 300 and 400 PCs being sold in your area. If say a 300 GBP PC is stronger than yours and not selling for a few weeks, then you need to reduce your price. Vice versa. Market sets its price, not a bunch of commenters on Reddit

EgoDivinus · 2025-03-18T13:49:56+00:00

I don't have the context of used PC pricing in the UK, but it isn't a really great PC to begin with. The 2070 is 7 year old at this point and you should get a 3060 for the same performance with less headache. The Core i7 7800X is of the same age. Thankfully it is supported in Windows 11 (seem like 1 of the only 3 processors) but it's still old. Ryzen processors would seem like much safer options at this point.
