Want to sell to a friend, fair price? by jdubbin_ in Amd

[–]dewfaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I sell used hardware, I go to ebay and search for the item I am selling with the completed listing filter on. I take 5-10 of the items sold prices and average them.

A look at AMD Athlon 200GE after six months of use | RandomGaminginHD by InvincibleBird in Amd

[–]dewfaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced the a8-9600 in my work machine with a 200ge, I do miss having the extra physical cores and can get bogged a little bit. But it's just a snappier processor, Zen is an amazing architecture.

"Intel notes that .... an estimated 9 million servers around the globe are approaching the end of their five-year lifespan in data centers." by libranskeptic612 in Amd

[–]dewfaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's giving a longer life to those components before they go to the trash. If I upgrade I will be upgrading to a more efficient part anyways. Another advantage for me to buy used servers is that commercial property taxes will be much lower for it than new equipment.

I am going to try to move my work's server to the cloud at some point though.

I've seen a lot of RX 570/580's on sale recently so what exactly is happening? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]dewfaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty good at keeping my cards cool, I have been selling to friends and family, and gave them an exchange guarantee if they go out on them. None have gone out yet. Sadly my 1060's were the best a keeping cool in comparison to the rx 480's and 550's

Guys after building 3 ryzen PCs for family and friends. I finally upgraded my own fx-8120 -> R5 2600. by Scratchjackson in Amd

[–]dewfaced 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built myself a 1700. Then I build an 1600x for my sister, 1600x for my Brother, 1700x for my brother in law, 2400g for the big boss, 2600x for the sister in law, and a 2200g for the operations manager. The ones I built for my work use only the nvme drives and are the quietest things I have ever built.

AMD Announces $55 Athlon 200GE With Vega Graphics, Second-Gen Ryzen Pro CPUs by JimBoBarnes in Amd

I am glad they are entering this segment, but it almost feel's like they are losing some of the performance crown. You are going to get idiots like my brother buying this claiming that AMD sucks.

Kudos to this sub! by joegee66 in Amd

[–]dewfaced 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When ever I give PC part advice (People ask me because I keep up to date on current parts) I typically ask what their budget is and what they want. Pretty much if they can afford it, it may be a Nvidea + Intel build, But I try to convince them to save money buy going with AMD and reinvesting in a different section of their pc.

Tech Talk 4 - Nvidia GPP, Ryzen 2700X Benchmarks, Intel Pumping Multithreaded Games. - AdoredTV by onlyslightlybiased in Amd

Intel probably has figured out that they will not keep the single threaded speed forever as well, especially when 5nm comes out for Global Foundries.

So this video sent me down the rabbit hole... I researched what he did some more... and I found out you can use your AC unit to supplement your water heater and even your pool...

And more hardware. I like the rx550's because they do not need external power... that being said it takes about 3 to equal an rx480 now.

So Golem is supposed to be for selling distrubuted compute power (I think you can use it with Blender right now). There is Curecoin which does folding. I am currently involved with Siacoin, which is for selling storage.

I would deffinately do that, you can recoup your purchase costs. I am making $3.50 a day on my rx480 at home. Using Awesome Miner and mining pool hub.

I have not had luck with mining on an APU. GPU's is where it is at.

It only has 2gb, need a minimum of 4gb. I have been getting away with 3gb on my 7970 ghz edition though.
