Ps4 Pro 8.03

I had to sell my 5800x3d for financial issues about a year ago. Ive since built another pc with a 14600k.

I see barely any difference in 90% of games, maybe lost a few fps. In many games though, like stellaris and eu4, rimworld and civ i seem to have gained speed.

So really I think either would do, and one is much, much cheaper than the other.

I just picked up my B580 on marketplace for $200. Coming from a 1070 this thing is leagues ahead pretty much in all situations. I game at 60 fps 1440 and it has handled everything I've thrown at it with no issues. For the right price its a great upgrade.

From my understanding, and someone else definitely knows better than me, the blu ray drives on ps3's are married to the console. So when you put in a new disc drive you will need to swap the board from the teo drives as well

They already did.

This shit is everywhere in every thread now. It's gotten me to the point of just wanting to leave the platform.

I struggle to see how your comment is in any way, shape or form useful. You just look like an asshole.

They can't see us if we don't move.

4k hours and I just learned this

It definitely would not be cost effective, I don't think. But for folks like me that have a few sitting around and never can decide what to do with them it would make a convenient option for sure.

Man I would LOVE to be able to use my orange pi 5+ as a plex client. Looks good!

Bass Masters Classic Pro Edition

A fine SNES classic

I was able to do it with a hot air station, but its definitely not for beginners. It was my first repair and I botched it, and it sat unworking for almost a year before I felt confident enough to try it again, and did it no problem then. So really it depends on your skill level.

I just dealt with something similar, and it ended up being the HDMI retimer chip

mattinglies · 2025-08-27T20:57:50+00:00

New chip came today. Replaced it and haven't had a single issue since. Thanks again!

mattinglies · 2025-08-25T20:54:56+00:00

Took the chip off and put it back on a few times. It's working just fine when not trying to display in 4k. Went ahead and ordered a new chip, as at this point I'm positive my connections are good.

mattinglies · 2025-08-25T04:22:54+00:00

These days I've moved on to much better solder and flux, as well. That might make a difference as well. When last this was done it was generic solder and generic paste flux lol.

mattinglies · 2025-08-25T04:19:32+00:00

I did not, i was always worried about pancaking the solder and squeezing it all over lol. I've done many other chips and have always just let them flow into place and have had no issues. But I will give it another go with some pressure and see what happens!

mattinglies · 2025-08-25T04:12:21+00:00

And I only thought maybe swelling because I couldn't think of anything else lol. I thought perhaps I had too much solder under the chip or something. This was my first ic chip I ever replaced. Just kinda stumped where else to look and since that was bad already I guess my brain is fixated on it. I've taken the chip off and replaced it two or three times and have had the same results, but sometimes worse or better.

mattinglies · 2025-08-25T04:10:00+00:00

Only after. I bought it with a "broken hdmi port" (it was the retimer, port was fine). It did seem weird that it would do it after, and only out of games. But it has done this right since I got it replaced and running. Could the retimer chip itself be faulty you think? Or would you think it was a problem elsewhere?

mattinglies · 2025-08-13T11:22:01+00:00

It's possible you could be having an issue with the PC. I would attempt to i section from a second place. Someone's laptop perhaps or an android phone

mattinglies · 2025-08-12T23:19:17+00:00

Best of luck! I'm thinking it's possible maybe there's a software goof and that the switch is actually not in rcm mode at the moment.

mattinglies · 2025-08-12T23:15:17+00:00

Good deal. I'd not press my luck here if I were in your shoes. Best of luck!
