Hm. Which programs are you using for 3D editing? I'm asking because Adobe products still seem to rely on single-core performance, and an E5620 without overclocking is quite weak on this regard. For 3D rendering more threads are beneficial I guess but still, at stock speeds the E5620 are quite slow. …

The new NVIDIA RTX2080 Ti starts at $1,000... Do you think this is oeuvrepriced ? Well the youtuber jayztwocents uploaded a video about this and he figured that the naming changed, not necessarily the pricing - i.e. that the former equally expensive Titan X as the top of the line card is now the …

I don't think that the new EVGA PSU is doing some problems there but that's why i ask you. I don't really know but maybe your computer needs the -5V rail which the EVGA PSU lacks?

@peido: Looks awesome! And I can relate, I would love to own an old server just for the heck of it but I would have no idea what to do with it 😁

Well, the 3Gb version of the 1060 is actually slower than the 6gb version (not just because of the memory difference), so I would spend the extra money to get a real upgrade from the 960.. Also, you could buy a used Xeon X3440 from ebay (In Germany they cost about 25€ shipped) as a replacement for …

Picked this up a few days ago: https://i.imgur.com/6z06tvY.jpg It's an Iiyama Visionmaster 455. Spotless condition and from what I gather low usage. Still getting used to the OSD. I had sort of written off getting a CRT monitor again because I had sort of settled on LCDs being good enough. That …

From my understanding it may be the pin labelled SDOC#1 and it seems that it is not unused 😒 But I'm not sure if I'm correct.

Wow, the tube motherboard is definetely an interesting piece of hardware. Never heard of it before. Crazy ! It's not worth a third that. I doubt the fastest CPU it supports could keep up with a 24 bit/192khz FLAC file anyways. I have no clue how you or Artex can afford listings like that as if they …

@Nprod: Well .. Socket 370 stuff is now about 20 years old so it's at least not contemporary .. It may not be that desirable for collectors but it's a cheap (here in Germany most Pentium IIIs can be had for about 5€ or less) and easy way to get into retro gaming - not necessary DOS gaming but …

Today I received a computer I bought a few days ago. The only thing I knew was that it's a Pentium III, a bunch of PCI cards and an AGP graphics card are installed and that the case is completely destroyed, but everything works (according to the seller). I only paid 15€ for it so I took the risk. It …

You reckon a heatsink of the same size (40mmx40mmx11mm) with a 40mm fan on top would be enough to cool a Voodoo 3? This is exactly what I did on my Voodoo 3 and so far it's running fine 😁 Idk how hot/cool it runs tho.

There she is 😀 I mounted a 40mm fan on top of the small heatsink for good measure. Runs great so far ! Thanks a lot for the help everyone.

Well, I never thought I would ever buy a 3dfx Voodoo but I sure just did. 44€ shipped for a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP, I think that's not too bad. Not a 3000 but still.

Hm that's a shame. The cheapest (and actually the only one right now) Voodoo 3 3000 I can find is listed for 75€ and honestly, I don't want to spend too much on this computer right now. So if the TNTs work I think I'll try one first and take my time to hunt a cheaper Voodoo 3 or persuade myself to …

Hm most of the cards I found on ebay actually had one, most of them even with a fan, but I read the 4W several times now and even the Geforce2 GTS consumes just 8-9W. Sweet! I found many GF2 MX (400) for just 2-5 bucks, that is a no-brainer. Thanks a bunch, I will report back when I receive one. But …

I would bet there is no way that a Riva TNT could use 9 amps. That would be 29.7 watts I guess you are right, the 9A were related to a Riva TNT2 Ultra I believe.. Well assuming the 6A are correct, that is 19,8W as the absolute maximum, so I would want something a bit lower than that. Looking for …

Hello there, after some time of lurking I finally decided to sign up and ask some questions, hehe. So a few months ago I got struck by nostalgia and decided to loosely recreate my first "real" computer that I got when I was 6 years old (actually I had one prior to that but only for a really short …
