🤞 pray it's not the mobo that was fried 🤞

Right.. 😅

well either way, it looks like your PC is 10+ years old considering the type of ram stick you use. Maybe it's should be a good time to consider buying a newer one. I know it's a budget but yeah... consider the time this poor piece of hardware was in use. ^^"

The motherboard's the only thing old about it

And the CPU..

The rest is fresh

yeah well that's pretty much what constitute your PC lol

I did got the motherboard/ram/CPU for 70€

What else is there

I mean, you don't need to get the last over priced hardware like a 1700€ cpu and whatnot, just that it's gonna cost more and more money to maintain your actuall PC if you have any issues

>buying Shintel

Come on Towelie clearly Threadripper is better

if AMD would allow me to do direct I/O without any issues i'd consider it

but it's not the case

there's a gtx 1050 gpu, a corsair cx500 power supply, a new cooler master fan and a new case

i'm gonna keep my 6950x 😉

and also windows and a HDD that'll arrive tomorrow

wow a 1050 on that mobo ?

yeah lol

it works

did you know that your mother board isn't able to use that correctly ? 😄

Well that's the one thing I didn't pay for, so

I mean, PCI express 3.0... vs PCI express 2.0

in what way does it not use it correctly

?

it's not able to use the bandwidth your graphic cards needs

plus I doubt your CPU wouldn't throttle that either

so of course it'll works

but you're probably using like less than 50% of your graphic card capability

you said you didn't bought it, that's cool, because it would have been a "stupid move" if you did

a cheaper stuff would have done the same job

I got it from the power cord friend.

He has no screen to use for his pc right now

yeah nice guy

still it's like using a SLI of 1080Ti on a Pentium II

if that was even possible (damn I miss AGP lol)

so about those linux distro's..

just grab anything that has a live CD / USB

which ones would include the memcheck?

any one?

I tend to use the gparted stuff
