Another thing I might try is a better CPU fan, was looking at Noctua but the small form factor fans they offer won't work with the Ryzen 5 3600, the website is saying that the cooler cannot handle the base clock. Any suggestions would be appreciated, if you think this might actually help...

I meant to do this last year lol...here is what you all helped me create!

Hey there, Shmee...been a long while since I have been here in the forum. Busy moving (4 times this year) and many other things. I am not sure that I saw your post from last August, and actually I am not sure about that...is there a way I can find out on my system if my RAM is running at those...

FINALLY built! Ended up getting a GeForce 1050ti low profile overclocked version from Amazon. Was a bit pricey, but I got a $100 gift card just for doing a medical home test and that helped absorb some of the cost. It runs amazing compared to what I had, boots up very fast and practically...

Hello everyone, I love my plan with T-Mobile and have been with them for several years. It offers unlimited calling, texting, and data, plus limited (but generous) mobile hotspot on 3 lines for $100 per month (grandfathered). I would keep this plan indefinately if possible. That being said, I...

Thanks for the responses, VirtualLarry In my previous post I mentioned upgrading to a T9900, well beyond the T9300. I have not commited to using Windows 10 on the rebuild; that is what I initially posted because that was the original inquiry. I know I could buy another machine but I have an...

So, I'm still waiting to build my desktop (the GPU that has not yet arrived). I want a project and think I will be rebuilding the previously mentioned Toshiba laptop. Here are my ideas for the rebuild: Considering replacing the current T6400 with a T9900. According to the specs, the T9900...

Hi all... Leave - 8.5 / 10 Free on YouTube last I looked

Now that is interesting...hard to believe it works without messing anything up! I just might do it that way. Actually, my new build will have a Ryzen 5 3600 (pretty much all new parts other than the case and HDDs). This is really more about putzing around with my current machine while waiting...

Hey all, I haven't heard about the security issues before this thread, had no idea. Firewalls, VPN and the like won't help? Yikes. Thank you for the heads up! What about my current dual core e5200? Wish that GPU would show up so I can build!

LOLOL...now that is one of the best answers I have yet heard in the forums. I am definitely overthinking this (I am often told that). I do just want to tinker and learn some things, and this is just that opportunity...if I f#$k it up, it is no real loss! Thanks for the attitude check.

Well, I actually ordered a GT 1030 SC from 'shopblt'. It is also on backorder like the GTX 1050 TI I ordered, but it is supposed to be ready to ship in a few days. The price was under $100 so we shall see if it actually happens. I don't mind having the extra GPU because the 4670 I could have...

Hello all, and thank you for reading. I am in the process of a computer overhaul, but currently stuck waiting for a back ordered GPU to do the build. If anyone is interested here is the thread: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/looking-to-overhaul-my-ancient-computer.2592587/ In the...

Uh oh...sitting here ready to start building tonight but one thing that I didn't consider...I am used to old ass computers that can run Windows without a GPU. Not sure that this will be the case with my new build. Anyone think I will be OK with just doing basic computing before I have my GPU? Or...

Hopefully I can find a way to keep the machine out of sleep mode. I haven't really used that before in my builds, and not sure if it is something that I want or need to have. Any input appreciated. I fully agree. I didn't even know about NVMe technology, that is how out of touch I have been in...
