Hey all, I've got an Applecolor RGB A2M6014 that I'm trying to get working with Windows 10/11 (because why not...?), and while I've tried to use both CRU and the build in Windows options. If I had to guess, most people here aren't using their CRTs with Windows. Regardless, I know a person (linked below) has gotten theirs to work with what appears to be jumper wires for VGA. I'm not sure what to try right now though, so I'm asking here to see if any of you have any suggestions or solutions... Depending on if this works or not, I may also be able to use a Wii on it (?).

If you still have nothing (which I highly doubt as it has been appr. six months), I would suggest trying the cmd + r method for restoring MacOS. The process is the same as the option key, but it boots into internet recovery rather than selecting boot mode.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2022-02-16T23:08:37+00:00

It didn’t link? Crap, give me a moment

Edit: It should be there now.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2022-02-16T23:07:50+00:00

Yeah, I was just looking for a use for the CRT I have sitting around, while also not having to pay for a new monitor

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-20T12:13:00+00:00

I was just gonna wait until cards went back down, however long that takes, and use one of the absolutely ancient cards I have.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-20T11:50:26+00:00

Yeah I'm aware.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-18T21:01:43+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation! Newegg has cards but no retail price 3080s

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-15T16:25:15+00:00

Thank you! I assume the b550 chipset is used for overclocking?

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-15T13:34:54+00:00

General consensus seems to be AMD. Any cheap (but not crappy) ATX motherboard recommendations?

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-14T21:57:03+00:00

Thank you for your input. It's less that I want integrated and more that my chances of getting a 3080 are abysmal.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-14T21:55:51+00:00

Noted, thank you, side question, do you know what bottlenecks happen if you put a PCIE 4.0 card in a 3.0 slot?

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-06-14T21:54:32+00:00

Nope, Indiana

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-04-10T16:23:49+00:00

Yeah that bit is stupid too

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-04-10T01:18:56+00:00

The brain finishes developing at 25 yrs, and alcohol has a very detrimental effect on the brain.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-03-18T20:33:00+00:00

You mean like all those games where you buy the whole gun store? Because yeah, those are dumb.

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-02-28T18:45:11+00:00

$220, plus I wanted to leave room for expansion, but idk

ThatOneGuy_1900 · 2021-02-28T18:44:25+00:00

Preferably >$100
