1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That....is ready to be tossed.

Or do like those guys that melt shit down to gather the little gold you can salvage.

 

I'm going to give the CPU back to them in a ziplock as a souvenir lol. I'm still wondering if I could find someone with a cheap older 4 core Ryzen to toss in here and test the board. Not worth risking any decent CPU.

They're asking if I'd help them install a new motherboard and some threadripper CPU. Which is insanity but why not.

 

New mobo and cpu paired with what though?

You mean basically an entirely new build right?

I do like that area, it's lovely.

Scrap it.

 

Are you doing ok over on the coast?

 

I mean yeah you could call it a ship of Theseus scenario. Windows considers the motherboard alone to be the computer which it pretty much is.

 

Just asked cause expensive threadripper and new mobo means...you may as well go with a new build sans pc case and psu cause those can always be reused.

Same with the GPU depending on how new it is.

But 32gb of ram would be useless as DDR4 as DDR5 slots are physically different so you'd need new ram.

 

Hope they work better for you!!

 

The GPU was a 3070 so why scrap it? The PSU can be reused for a long time if you spend enough money on it (10 year warranty on a modular Seasonic). Kids these days have started replacing power supplies like they'll catch on fire or something. Which has me scratching my head. I guess some PSUs have RGB on them now to make people upgrade for more pretty lights?

I just realized DDR5 is actually here so I'll have to break that news to them. But I see no issues retaining the remainder of the build.

 

Oh no, the GPU part was just a guess...several years old but a good one for 2k gaming for sure.

Replacing a good PSU is definitely a waste of money as well, wasn't saying you should replace it.

But mobo + thread ripper + ram you're easily into a grand which is almost a new build

Good thing it ain't your money!

Just another bat this makes like 10 in 8 years.

 

Cute lil guy

 

That's what I said. They make the coolest noise.

Me too, I just not a fan of them flying at my face.
