What's your latest tech purchase?

Pic?

If he's like me it's in his computer already.

That is interesting I was using the As Rock X470 Master SLI which may explain I used the same board for a customer build and was also able to get 4.2 using the Cooler Master MA410 cooler

Well, every CPU is different, you can't just generalize that every one overclocks the same.

Yeah, I now have 160gb worth of DDR4, I think I have a DDR4 hoarding problem

Those are rookie numbers mate... You need to try harder

I am really intrigued now I guess I must have bought some nice binned chips. I also do update the chipsets when a new AGESA update comes across. The only AM4 chip I could not get to 4GHZ was the 1700 but I never go past 1.300 for the CPU voltage. Even the 2400G would OC to 4 GHZ (I built about about 12 systems using that APU) @ 1.3 volts.

....found this dusty thing at a local flea market. Never heard this model before. Seller in a "computer shop" didn't know what is was (didn't have a price on it so she said he'd sell it to me for the same price of a cooler master power supply....) eventually he sold it to me for $10.

Found a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent XTreme at Goodwill. It was marked $8.49 USD, but today was student/military discount day, so I got 25% off of that.

It works, and the previous owner had formatted it before donating. Out of curiosity I ran some recovery software on it, and found some images from a Craigslist post, some OS images, and some other random programs and pictures.

I'll just throw this in; always do a secure erase before selling or donating a drive. There have been numerous times I've found personal files on used drives I've gotten.

Just a memory card in sale for my Asus Chromebook that has only 32 gigs onboard. 20$ Canadian including taxes.

 

[R00kie]

Decided to finally upgrade my secondary PC, and turn it into a tiny VR box.
Smaller case and better GPU incoming.
BTW, its a Ryzen 7 2700 (decided to grab a bargain, as this CPU is cheap as chips right now), Gigabyte Aorus B450I Pro Wifi, and 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM

 

[Kapone33]

Is the quest finally complete? I have a Asus X399 Zenith Extreme on the way. This will be paired with a 420MM rad with 6 Noctua Redux 140MM fans and maybe some ARGB. I am wondering if I just hook the CPU to the loop or expand it to include my GPU(s). That would mean 2 Eisstations and 1 Eiswolf with a pump across 2 420MM rads. I already have one bottom mounted and will either put the other on the side or above the CPU socket to help dissipate some RAM heat. So would you guys build a full loop or keep them separate?

 

[E-Bear]

Another nice find for 20$ canadian.

Well I know some will call me mental, but I'm ok with that Finally and a massive thanks to my good mate @TheMadDutchDude, I finally have the X99 board I was looking for....



Some more Crucial Ballstix ram for my Z77 board and 2600k
Oh and a special something as a socket protector....



But then there were two of them.....



And they where destined for one of my servers.... R730



So thankfully they both work very nicely and I'm happy with them I'm not sure however that my electric bill will enjoy them quite so much..... lol




So we are currently crunching away with 48 threads and it's chewing up a not too bad 375w Can't complain, I'm hoping it'll keep the conservatory nice and warm this evening I've got something else through today but I'll grab some separate pics of that shortly and post them up later

edit to avoid a double post? YEP!
woooohhhh, i see a lot of peoples having a good time ...

ok my turn ...

i am weak ... well i waited long enough for that one (till it got to 15$ bargain bin ... ) for the solo campaign obviously (maybe a bit of MP, who knows ... )


but then i saw ...

ok ... never saw it before never seen any news of it ... but THQ Nordic??? I DIG IN! Elex, Recore Definitive Edition and Battle Chaser Nightwar none of these last games i got from THQ N were deception, on the contrary, now i hope the box will be not the one i see (aka a standard plastic box) because all the 3 i mentioned came in beautiful cardboard box with great artwork on them.
THQ Nordic never fail to deliver! it make the box more significant to have

(i remember seeing @rtwjunkie mentioning it in 2018 in a news thread about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 but well ... kinda missed anything about it after, shame on me. )
and oh boy it look good!~

my workplace lack the fund to get us good Talkies ... (well the one we had until now are sh!t) and since it's about the security of our customers ... i take the lead then

full set Motorola TLKR T82 Extreme (after reading reviews ) i know i know, what the fudge ... i buy stuffs for my workplace, well ... they will stay mine and if i quit they bail out with me ... win win situation (plus anyone who manage to break them will have to answer me and i am way less accommodating than the administration, but i will fire no one because of that ... )

semi tech related?
after paying unwillingly/unknowingly 35chf for the customer who was just before me at the cashier, i decided to go for the fade and get a RFid shielded compact wallet ... (luckily the issue was noticed immediately and the person was kind enough to give me the money back, in cash since the electronic transaction was already done and gone )

well i have one card holder who should be RFid shielded (no certification just 2 aluminum shell) , but since it was a street market buy of a astounding 3.50 eur value ... it might be better to take a certified one, luckily albeit a hefty pricetag of 54chf i got that one for 27chf (yay for 50% sale!) cool the card holder can be used standalone.

 

[Ruru]

Yay, stuff for FREE!

12GB DDR3 (the 2x4GB goes to my 2nd PC bringing it to 16GB)

Phenom II X2 555 BE (it unlocks what I understood)

Asus M4A77T

And the cheap all-aluminium stock cooler, going to use the heatpipe one which I have

This is for the ryzen 3500X system.
