Mussels · Jan 2, 2023

Arjai · Jan 3, 2023

920
950 x2
x5570
x5675 x2
i5 2300
i3 2120
i5 6500
3930k or E5 1650 (IHS is scratched so can't read it)

I got a bunch of 2GB and some 4GB DDR3 goodies. Just need to find boxes unless someone local wants to nab them for this thread.

Mussels · Jan 7, 2023

Reminds me of my drawer of 1155 CPU's that i slowly spread out
Overclocking a 2500K in a little SFF box was a hilarious highlight of that week
(The kind that hides behind a monitor intended as a thin client)

Regarding the ram...do you know if they have temp sensors? The rig where i want use them will scream 8 fans if they don't.

Take it to PM please- this isn't a B/S/T thread

Not calling anyone out just trying to keep the thread clean from open discussion of buying/selling hardware

I think Toothless was offering the above parts to the cause, in the same way as the give-away.

Thanks for quoting my post- saw the post I quoted was edited so I updated mine. Thanks @1freedude :toast:

The offering is awesome and am sooo glad that this project's still going! :lovetpu:

it's just the posts that pop up with I'll donate X just pay shipping or I'll buy part X from you that cause some grief with the forum rules (ask a mod) and when it starts it tends to pop up more often.

Ah, fair enough. Let's do this,

@Toothless
Get it touch with @phill and @bogmali in PM and see if they want to work something out to contribute to the cause.

Not necessary- open discussion 100% cool and encouraged just the paying/transaction aspect I'm referring to... and I'm likely guilty of doing that myself

On a thread related matter- I do have about 2/3 of the pieces for a giveaway build from before my hiatus. Will reintroduce that as soon as I get myself a little more organized here :oops:

Mussels · Jan 11, 2023

I think this summarises everything nicely
The PC arrived, MM is setting it up now

KITTY

I dunno. Finding an ex-TPU member who's been bouncing around life with tough times as a single parent and giving them a still high spec gaming PC just sits really well with me.
I didn't know Kreij as well as you lot, but i'm damned sure he'd love this.

That's a fun build!

tussinman · Jan 13, 2023

Received the PC thanks to @Sasqui

Will be doing a full build log hopefully sometime soon and will post lots of pictures. Went to an old PC junkyard shop last week to find a retro case to go with it and got a nice 2007 era gaming case from the prebuilt company Velocity Micro. Loved how the side label said "core 2 duo E6600 and Geforce 8600GT" (the nostalgia was strong with that one)
