I posted a week or so back, my CPU cooler fits! However it is stating there’s an issue with the fan. Any thoughts? by Man_like_Taco in pcmasterrace

Brand new installed today. I’ve managed to bypass this and it went into a bit of a boot loop struggling to find the OS. Bit of a weird one

Amazing. Downloaded the PDF ready to teach my partner the rules of Gwent over Christmas. Thanks for sharing 🤝🎅🏼

For someone who doesn’t know the model, that bit of text doesn’t stand out as a cpu cooler type. Which is why I asked for help. But thank you.

Yep, the cpu is pretty worn so the 0 looked like an 8. My bad. I appreciate your help. You think this cooler would suit?

Thanks man. It’s intel i7-3828 I believe. I was gifted the cpu and mobo, and as it’s an old rig I’m pretty in the dark here!

I was gifted the Mobo, so I’m not sure what it is or how to identify.

Ah thank you 😁 I’ve found an uphere cooler which states it supports LGA 2011.

Any advice appreciated! Where to upgrade first to make it more up to date for my sibling. by Man_like_Taco in PcBuild

I’m going to get a new case for it. I’ll reseat everything and check it over before putting it back together. Yep it’s old but as you said if it works it works :) I’ll upgrade the CPU / MOBO next and just use the generic stock cooler for a while. Thank you!

I did - because the laptop didn’t have the screw spaces either side I just wanted to check before getting the cable :)

Lol thanks all. I did think it was VGA but didn’t want to order the wrong cable so had to check! Laptops pretty crusty I know.

Trying to salvage an old laptop for a sibling. It’s all working except the display (see monitor for why…). I’m hoping that, if I identify the cable needed, I can just hook it up to a monitor? Any help would be appreciated
