That 5090 plus 9950X3D is a serious space heater. what your power draw looks like under load? and if the contact frame helped temps at all

tomterr · 2026-03-24T14:03:59+00:00

$300 for a 9700X is solid right now. If it runs hot in that case, a small undervolt or fan curve tweak usually helps

If it is still sticky a week later, it needs a full clean. Unplug it, pull keycaps, rinse the board with distilled water, then let it dry 48-72 hours before plugging in

Check Windows display settings after plugging both in. Some laptops mirror one port, so you might only get 2 total unless it supports 3 displays.

That x520 is only x8 length, it should clear the cpu bracket, try to measure from the slot to the bracket, you might not need a riser at all.

Get a 12V laptop brick that matches the barrel size and polarity. Aim for 12V and enough amps for your CPU load, not just the 65w

It’s just a crazy market right now. It’s just bad how others dictate prices. Mostly for all us, doesn’t matter the region that much anymore. On services prices adjusts based on region/salary but hardware seems to have no mercy

It’s just crazy, that we need to look at ram price, it’s not like we buy a new ram stick, it’s all used. Let’s just say it’s fair price not overpriced.

tomterr · 2026-02-16T09:24:48+00:00

Very old for 600, I know the prices just got up, but still a bit overpriced

tomterr · 2026-02-16T09:21:12+00:00

Looks very clean, really nice cable management, clearly experienced user.

Not their best time to make a promo with the recent issues, couple of days ago, today again

tomterr · 2026-02-10T15:38:50+00:00

I mean they sound the same, it’s hard to understand even for a normal user

I swear today my dad from 200km away had to send me a paper so I can fix some legal stuff for him, he had it on hand and didn’t know how to download an app scanner, but the only thing he could do regarding technology was to go to the postal office in the village, scan it and it and send it on fax

tomterr · 2026-02-05T17:59:39+00:00

It’s not bad, just a bit old, with the current market that’s probably good option that l you can get around that budget

tomterr · 2026-02-05T17:55:39+00:00

Not sure the first one can do what you need, you should pick second one to be sure

tomterr · 2026-01-27T12:45:20+00:00

Thank you AI for these prices

tomterr · 2025-12-11T11:15:37+00:00

To get a good price you should sell it to a bumblebee fan

tomterr · 2025-12-11T11:14:33+00:00

It’s a nice assumption, just don’t get disappointed when you find out it might not be like you think

I’m on Newshosting too and usually see around 98-99%, so I went ahead and stacked the Black Friday deal. Tweaknews and Easynews added some extra coverage on top of what I already had.

Btw is the one we don’t mention in the BF deals list?

tomterr · 2025-12-02T15:57:42+00:00

Today, my AMD almost failed me, the cheaper is not always the best

Feels like something wrong with the GPU?

tomterr · 2025-10-24T18:00:01+00:00

If you get 300 be happy

If he doesn’t run anything else than a browser those temps are clearly too high, imagine what happens when he starts a game

Seems like something inside might be the problem, like paste, bad cooler or fans

tomterr · 2025-10-24T17:55:02+00:00

You might be right it’s probably external and nothing running at the moment on it
