Some tech porn for you guys

Was updating the BIOs for the bird to support the 5800X and testing my wife’s RAM

Upgraded the case for my gaming PC as on system specs. Got the LianLi Lancool 215

Now that’s the way to do a close-up.

@jlewis02 Is that a stick of RAM or debug leds on the main board?

LEDs for the motherboard

I was digging through my photos and noticed that this one in particular is an awesome shot.
You couldn't get much better as a desktop wallpaper, especially considering the left-hand side is a perfect space for desktop icons.

Needed my requisite picture of each of my CPUs, turns out that getting all the reflective text to show up white is a royal pain in the ass and nigh impossible in a non-cropped photo

Is this close up enough? This is a colorful pic of a 3970x build I did last year, taken on my s10.

Closeup of the UASP controller in my new 2.5" enclosure.

Really wish my phone's autofocus in macro mode actually worked...

This makes me cringe so hard

I'm so skeptical with the Pins getting damaged

I've swapped my 3700X between 4 different boards and back and forth with my 4650G without incident. Why do you think it's sitting on the folded BIOS compatibility brochure?

Seriously, you only bend AMD pins if you happen to fuck up, or just have fingers the size of Little Caesar's cheese sticks and minimum grip strength like a dog's bite strength. Not those Intel LGA feathers.

up close dust shots :laugh:

i just realized my Noctua fans are crooked on that HS, but im too lazy to pull it out & fix it

The pins are pretty tough. This one's been laying in a drawer in the garage for over 10 years now. Made me go looking for it.

Now that's a good close-up. Wanna see a cursed image? The underside of my X2 4400+

inb4 banned for CPU abuse :laugh:

I have so many pieces of hardware that are just so sexy!

I literally gave a little gasp when I saw that. :eek:

Do I even want to know what happened?

(great lighting by the way)

I have a container of old CPUs and it's the only AMD chip in there. Since I don't have enough plastic trays for all the chips, I de-pinned the entire 4400+ so that it doesn't scratch off the lettering from all the other CPUs

You can report me to the silicon authorities now

Seriously, it was tough to break off all the pins with a razor.

That makes no logical sense, Why not just through the CPU in the trash? The CPU is completely worthless now as you couldn't get it to work in any MB now.

Eh I just keep em around for novelty's sake. If we're talking old hardware usability in that box, I only have a kinda-working LGA1156 board and a kinda-working LGA1155 board to spare for them.

By that logic, I should throw away my Slot 1 Pentium II, but I never will
