This is an old NAS board that I kept hoping to build a headless raid setup but never did. It's smaller than regular motherboards (mini-ITX) and can be powered by regular ATX power supplies. The CPU is a VIA C7 and is soldered down to the board. I'm selling this with the installed ram modules...

I'd like to sell my old components after an upgrade, preferring to sell as a combo if feasible but individual sale would also work. CPU : AMD A8-9600 [4 CPU cores + 6 GPU cores] (Not used much 5/5) with stock cooler ~ RS 3500 Motherboard : ASRock A32M-HDV (4/5) ~ RS 3200 RAM : 2x 4GB ADATA...

Just throwing this out there, I'm looking for a dirt cheap cabinet if any of ya all want to give one away or sell at a low price. Rust doesn't matter, dents do not matter, brand doesn't matter; it just needs enough airflow. This is for a second pc that currently has a old case with poor airflow.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with a wraith Prism heatsink/cooler which was recently brought up for compiling (Gentoo). It was noticed recently that some times the core temperature (lm-sensors) goes up to about 83C which IMO is worrisome for a CPU with Tjmax of 95C. Do you guys have any suggestions for...

I've seen benchmarks of common AIOs against tower coolers with heat pipes. The thermal capacity advantages (if any) aren't much for the AIOs. I understand that maybe they put less stress on the motherboard mounting points BUT are there any other advantages to them? My take is that air coolers...

What are your experiences using services/buying from within the country (both resellers and manufacturers)? Especially after the Galwan thing, I started off trying to buy from Indian companies as much as possible but it seems pointless to buy with that perspective. Most of them (there are...

After a partial house cleanup, I'm selling a couple of my old soldering irons and a multimeter that wasn't used much. The irons are well used (~3/5 condition) while the multimeter is in mint condition as it was never used much. Individual pricing: 1. Soldron digital temperature controlled...

Their website just says that priority will be quicker and they handle customs. So who does customs clearance for economy?

I'm curious about your experiences with running platter hard drives 24x7 (like in a NAS for example). What models took the longest to develop defects/die? and which ones gave the most trouble? Also, please do suggest good places online to buy hard disks from.

Here is a useful public link containing a spreasheet which lists details on SDDs. There is a lot more information that is typically available: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B27_j9NDPU3cNlj2HKcrfpJKHkOf-Oi1DbuuQva2gT4/edit#gid=0

I have conflicting information from Seagate's datasheets. Two different ones for the same model, one says it uses SMR while the other one says it's PMR. Do you guys know? or do you know of any tests to determine if it's shingled.? exhibit A (says its PMR) pg 9 of 31 ...

This is something I've been wondering about a while. Media (gallery) is easy enough to shift but is there a way to shift Whatsapp to a new phone while preserving all the ancient chat histories? Also would be nice to know if there was a way to back them up as well. I've tried using the 'backup...

Hi, This is essentially a follow up on my previous discussions here and here. The primary goal is to protect important data using backups. Linux has a lot of options for this purpose and file systems like ZFS/btrfs helps a lot. On Windows, the options are limited to several paid...

I have to revert to Windows on my main personal computer because of hardware compatibility issues. One of the things that was quite good on the other oses were the better filesystems. Is there a reliable (i.e. no crappy unstable fs drivers) way to add support for either of these filesystems on...
