Not on your nelly, mate.
That HP is fucking infested with gremlins... has been for years. I've already nuked it from orbit; now starts the terraforming with my ASUS MB & 1055T. Only thing I found in the garage was an old Rosewill HTPC case that's even worse than the one I'm moving out of. We'll see how things look tomorrow when I'm done with the case hackery.

What about the cooling, air or water, personally I like water which is what I have had on my last 3 PCs so much quieter and cooler as well.
Gonna stick with the Silent Copper. I know for a fact the Phenom will run at 3.8 all day on it.
Sexy looking finned CPU heatsink mnem. Is it fanless ?Gunna repurpose it ?
Sell it to the copper merchants and get a CPU with lower TDP and electricity bill?
Fastest CPU in my house now is an i5-4200U which is pants
i5-4200U IS pants... even compared to my 1055T dinosaur. It's a "smog motor" CPU, and it performs like one.
Come on guys... I've already said the whole point of this experiment is to keep as much of my old faithful while getting up to around 60FPS/1080P for a flight sim on Steam. Should be easy-peasy.
I have two of those silent coppers, TauTech. The one that used to be on there was "fanless"; it was all huge fins like this one, bolted together into a block of copper 20mm thick then machined. Simply gorgeous; and it worked amazing with just a 120mm "cold air" case fan in the middle of the window right over the CPU as was popular back in the day.
This one incorporates a 120mm fan inside the heat pipes and is 600 grams of cooling copper with micro-polished face before you add the fan; the old one was 800ish grams (yes, I still have it
). We're kicking it old-school here; so there's no replacement for displacement. Either one is a 300W cooler, so not the least bit worried about keeping up with that 6-core space heater.
Water cooling is the way to go, I'm running a AMD FX8350 8 core CPU @ 4GHx with 32GB RAM and a Nvidia Geoforce GTX960 graphics and currently running on average at 21C and peak of 30C on CPU and drawing around average 25W to 45W peak, no screaming fans trying keep CPU cool here even in the summer
I was building "quiet" back when NOBODY even thought about such things... that's why all the copper and PSUs with 200mm fans. I've been at 16GB as my personal bare minimum for over a decade; next new build will be 32GB or 64GB if I can. Part of why I wanna hold off on it a little longer.
Postmans been and some USB A sockets that I was expecting he did not have, 30 mins later the doorbell rings and there stands a stranger to me asking if I live here, to which I said yes. He than hands me a small plastic bag that was delivered to him by accident
Open it up and I ordered 2 packs of 10 and in pack I got 12 of one half of the cover and 8 of the other half, so now I can only make up 18 leads and not the 20 I wanted to make Order up another pack or file a complaint with the seller
Complain. You didn't get what you ordered/paid for and the seller obviously has trouble counting. That will mend his ways.
Already files a complaint, its not the cost of the parts £1.11 for 10, but the inconvenience that I don't enough parts to complete the project that was my concern.
Depends on what your time is worth tooya. If you order more, they might get to you by the time you're finished making the leads you have materiel for.
