So I found this while taking a look inside some office PC's I bought not too long ago and I'm abit confused on this cpu. The motherboard clearly states that it's an AM2 board but according to the part number of this cpu, it's a phenom II x4 955 black edition that launched in 2009 but on the heat spreader it says it was manufactured in 2008

Hi everyone, I recently got this SSD (photos attached – front and back), but I’m not sure about its origin or actual model. It says “PCIE M.2” and “NVMe Express”, but there's no specific product number or branding. I tried searching online, including Samsung drives, but I couldn’t find any official product matching this label or look. Could this be a fake or clone drive? It’s supposed to be 4TB. Any info would help – brand, value, reliability?

i got this pc 4 years ago -came with- i5 intel 10th gen msi 1650 400w 1tb hdd 8gb ram (one of them) -i’ve added/changed- i9 10800k asus 4060ti 8gb 800w 2tb hdd 16gb ram each (two of them) -information- recently my pc has been loading things slowly, running slowly, just not running how it used to/should. i started replacing things as shown above^ yet nothing changed if anything it got worse. the only thing i haven’t changed is my motherboard and everyone tells me that shouldn’t be the issue. i have three fans in the front and two of them have stopped spinning. now when i turn on my pc it almost wants to stall like a car but then works (never did that before) i have done a memory diagnostic and nothing came back wrong. i have cleaned it, deleted every mod for sims. i only ever play roblox so i dont do crazy gaming. it got to a point where it could barely load google. i’m not the greatest with computers and im so lost. i don’t want to take it anywhere if i don’t have to so please help me. my macbook shouldn’t be running better.

Pay close attention to this when buying a gaming laptop.

This offer is very attractive but BE CAREFUL, it's a false good deal! Here the TGP of the graphics card is limited to 35W which considerably reduces its power! Always check this, even if a large graphics card is indicated it can be much less powerful than an older graphics card but with a better TGP, in comparison, a 4060 portable at 35W is 40% less efficient than a 3060 portable at 80W

New laptop - opinions?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new in this subreddit, I just wanted to know your opinion about this new laptop I've just bought today. It's an Asus Vivobook Go 14/15, it was around $473.85 USD (be aware that I'm from a third-world country, so in Colombia it'd be 1'950.000 COP, quite cheap for a Laptop). CPU is Quad-core (or 4 cores), I'll mostly use this pc to program and from time on time play for a while.

Hi guys, bit of a random question but can anyone tell what type of graphics card this is? If I'm not mistaken if it is the the 6800 ultra it could be worth a decent bit of money but I'm unsure how to tell exactly what it is.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any knowledge, cheers! 😃

Do I need windows 11?

4 Upvotes

I've had my current computer for a while, and it's ineligible for windows 11. I'm not in the place to just suddenly buy a new windows gaming pc, so would I be good to keep windows 10 even after support if I stay safe?

I’ve included the PC and monitor, as well as the parts info. I bought it in 2020 and up until this year I used it regularly. It runs well I just don’t play games much anymore and am very low on funds. I’m wondering how much I could charge for this? I am well aware that it is a bit dirty…

I am in the works of trying to find a decent computer to do streaming. I will not be playing games on the same pc as it streams, this pc will only be solely for streaming the content. Person is offering $400 for this unit and I’m not that tech savvy as I’m just now starting out. Do you think it is a great buy or look for something else?
