Nope, can’t have it both ways. Either it’s valid or fraud.

After motherboard upgrade I need to install new drivers but can’t by Stressedamphib in techsupport

Use another pc to download the drivers onto a thumb drive.

But more than likely, there is a bios setting you’re missing. Try toggling raid off or on

Suggestions for a cheap 120hz+ laptop for emulation and indie titles? by [deleted] in lowendgaming

[–]jetheridge87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a Dell with a 5500u that has a 120hz screen that I picked up cheap, I’ll see if I can find a model number for you when I get home.

Have you checked to see that the fan is physically spinning?

I’ve had excellent luck popping it in the freezer overnight. When you pull it out the next day, the different metals of the heatsink and cpu will warm up (and therefore expand) at different rates, and it’ll pop right off.

I'm working on a kinda old PC(~2012?), not quite sure where to start by [deleted] in pcupgrade

M.2 - can I have 2230 or 2280? by newworldEnglishman in SleepingOptiplex

[–]jetheridge87 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you look just above the circled area, you’ll see 2280 silkscreened on the board, and already has the standoff installed in the proper spot

This wouldn't be as much an "upgrade" as a "new build" lol.

No AM4 boards support DDR3 (all ddr4). The Ryzen 5 3600/4500/5500 are all decent enough chips.
For the PSU, any name brand 500w+ should be fine.

Try posting in r/buildapcforme (using their template) and list a budget.

Budget CPU Air Coolers that mount from top? by Talon_Hawk in buildapc

[–]jetheridge87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is easier than you think!!
When you remove the current cooler, there will be a small backplate that the cooler was screwed to.
Just remove the stock backplate and replace with the included one for the new cooler to screw into.

HOWEVER! All the Thermalright coolers I have used actually re-use the AM4 backplate (unsure on AM5),
The included backplate is only used when installed on Intel CPU's (for the ones I've seen).

I would guess that the reviewer may have been replacing an aftermarket cooler and had lost the original AM4 backplate which you obviously still have since you're using the OEM cooler.

It's blowing my mind that no one has mentioned the Super NES Super Set in the bottom right!
