ok thanks mate

Yes you can reuse your 4gb stick with another "kit" but your performance will be degraded. In addition to timings and frequencies being reduced to the values of the lowest performing stick, the system will also switch to single channel memory opertion in order to make use of the stick which has a different capacity. It is the reason why kits have a pair of memory modules; or three modules in cases where the memory controller supports triple channel operation

Hi guys quick question
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CRSM ... asin_title

Above Is my current ram,

Apparently one of the stick don't work so have to buy a new set do I have to use back a 1866 KHz, cause not sure where I can get one on short notice so think about an 1600mhz ( hopefully 2x8 GB)

But if I do that Can I still use the 4GB one that's working

[Jonathan_337]

Anyone has any DDR3 RAM for sale ? I have one of the 8GB sticks below installed, want to get another stick. Or maybe if someone has a pair at a reasonable cost.

got 2 extra AMD brackets + screws for AIO coolers....if anyone needs it let me know...it's free (im currently i7)

moved away from the H115i cooler....too much residue buildup inside...pump failing

got the NZXT x64 temporaily until i can maths out a custom loop...

[Chiney]

Good idea on the custom loop

AMD 3990X 64 cores. RIP Intel.

[Coppershot]

AMD 3990X 30% faster and you can still save $16k.

[Coppershot]

Crazy specs....and cool lid

[sMASH]

i wonder if u could push that 4000 series to the 5ghz with water cooling?
these performances per watt reall interesting, considering it still have dual cores still workng for some people.

[Coppershot]

I really like this design. Pricing ridiculous for mobile cpu.

Intel version


Razer version


Another model. More detailed disassembly

If you aint know about pc parts and availability sometimes thats the best thing yes.

i met hcca (RIP) a night and he ended up building a cheap pc for me, a4 4000 dual core with cheap 1gb ddr3 gpu with hdmi output with 4 gb of ram and a regular 7200hdd, i was happy with this till i did a little research and after talking with hcca, the bug bit.

i ended up swapping out the ram and the cpu with a large air cooler (860k overclocked to 4.0ghz and 8gb 1600 speed ram and addded a gt710, went to ssd and hdd, this ssd made the most improvement imo.

now im on a 1600x with a 1050ti. large air cooler, full pwm fan controlled case fans, proper gaming case and full works, and i started with a dual core APU about a year ago.

Rebuilt this dual core system about 2 weeks ago on my own, did os install everything, gpu, dual drives, a year ago i didnt know anything, i used to look at people who used to build pcs as wizards. Now thinking back at all the pc techs that used to charge 500 to install os crazyy.

lemme post some tips i learnt along the way may help someone one day.

Dont let anyone chain you up to buy new hardware at premium prices, a regular used 4 core 4t/8t cpu can do alot.
Build based on your needs and your budget. If your budget is poor, buy a decent enough mobo and a psu,
Everything else could come later on.
SSDs are really something to be added to older units with mechanical drives, they really wake them up. Its a good idea to keep your storage separate from your os, SSD run os and basic desktop files, all long term stuff throw on the mechanical.
Airflow thru a case is important, hdd run hot, throw some front fans and exhaust fans.
RGB lights is cool but makes no sense, buy premium fans and components.

[kamakazi]

That is definitely not a good place to start. The best thing is to know what is available so you can get guidance on what makes sense.

Buying used is a bit of a gamble; easier for the hobbyist but not really an option if you depend on the machine for anything. (Buying new is also made easier due to AMD's resurgence in the market).

Get an SSD... The hard drive (spinning rust) is the weakest link in most computer systems; replace if you can, definitely get one for a new system (prices have become much more affordable) and they have the potential to last longer.

Hey morning need 2 4tb hdd right now who has the best prices hit me up here, call or WhatsApp 3993053. WD preferably but any brand will do.

[Jonathan_337]

Anyone has any M.2 SSDs for sale? Or know somewhere I can get resonably priced?

[Ted_v2]

wizz/

[stev]

if u not buying online then probably Wizz as Ted mentioned....their new store in chaguanas (pennywise plaza thing) had some good prices

[Ted_v2]

Yep, their online page has all the prices, some of the stuff is pretty comparable to online right now. Its not the latest and greatest but the price for the item now and the price they selling for isnt that bad. I still stick for locally bought MOBOs, everything else i buy online.
