Re: Topcat's Other Misc Weird Build Thread
Reminded me of 2004, where I was still happy with 256 MB of DDR1 SDRAM, but the guy I was with, told me that it was out of stock, so I was able to get 512 MB of PC2700 DDR1 SDRAM, LOL. (most likely...

Re: Topcat's Other Misc Weird Build Thread
I remember coming across a Pentium 166 for the group home PC at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center. It sure was one of the late-1990s' greatest hits!
And, of course the same for when I saw a...

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap
450 MHz FSB=Reminds me of my Wolfy (45nm Core 2 Duo) E8400 C0 (an early one with the minimum temp getting stuck at 45C or similar, IIRC) test that I did in 2013.
(Actually, that's on socket 775,...

anti-aliasing=The would be the GPU.
16x anisotropic is known to give excellent results without a notable drop in FPS with pretty much any video card since 2002!

Re: Post your system.......
9th gen and earlier has a critical CSME vulnerability that requires a UEFI-BIOS update. (remote-code-execution) I had to get rid of my 9th-gen, because there was no UEFI-BIOS update with the new CSME...

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap
Chemi-con KZG-series caps are known for lasting for a fair while, then suddenly failing! Especially for 2004 and 2005 KZGs, you'll be lucky to get 10 years before they suddenly bulge and leak!

Re: PSU weaken - occasional reset
That PSU looks much better than expected for Raidmax!
Albeit it's likely overrated in watts, wouldn't be surprised if the components are intended for 500W to maybe 750W.
Those caps, however, is...

Re: GTX 1660 BIOS Beep Error
One long and three short bleeps=it means video init failure. I'm afraid it's dead.
However, back in 2004, when I had my Asus A7V8X-X and tried a Radeon 9600 SE, before returning it, which the...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
I wouldn't be surprised if the OEM PSUs are normally better PSUs at the time that PC was made. Looks like another case of an OEM PSU being replaced with a super cheapo PSU. Like a PC that I saw, with...

Re: socket 775 forever... no, no, no...
Yep, just like good ol' XP x64 Edition, which will also run well with 4 GB of RAM.
Because NT 5, unlike NT 6/10, will not take 512 MB to 2 GB of RAM just for itself when idle at the desktop,...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
The only thing bad about a 9th-gen, is if you can't flash the UEFI-BIOS to fix a critical remote-code-execution CSME exploit. It has the highest severity rating of all recent ones! With some laptops,...

Re: Hard drive reliability
May be a problem with the board. 5 MB/s means possibly in PIO mode, which usually doesn't happen with SATA. Do you have any ATA communication errors?
