Yup. Googled extensively. Tried different monitors and his TV. Stumbled onto this and I'm hoping this is the issue. Trouble is I can only be at his place for 3h next weekend, and the clock is ticking if I need to RMA the motherboard instead. So I need to have all the solutions/tools at hand in...

I'm having a few issues failing POST on a friend's PC Parts (new) Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 Corsair VENGEANCELPX16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600 Intel i3 12100f Old GTX 560 1gb Corsair TX750 power supply Old SATA3 SSD Monitor VGA cable into graphics card. No screen, 5 beeps on speaker I've swapped...

Was going to use it as the second drive in the computer and a 120gb SSD as the primary drive, and give it to a friend. Will be storing photos, films, documents etc. Would you trust it for this purpose?

Bought a 2nd hand refurb dell i5 3rd generation for use for a friend's office PC from a well known bidding site. There was no COA sticker, and I received 1333mhz ram instead of 1600mhz. Hard drive seemed noisy and slow. Crystaldiskinfo showed this HDD was a 500gb Hitachi Deskstar 7200rpm made...

How many posts for MM? 1000 or 500? Probably a long way to go.

Just bought a second hand Dell Optiplex 9010. Has 4 slots and uses Q77 chipset on an i5-3570 Ivy bridge. Unfortunately it came with 1x4gb 1333mhz ram. I have 2x2gb Corsair XMS3 1600mhz 1.65v from an old build which defaults to 1333mhz at 1.5v (I think). I highly doubt the dell bios will let me...

I had a Corsair xms3 1600mhz 1.65v ram that I bought by accident awhile back. It defaulted to 1333mhz @ 1.5V on my sandy bridge machine, and I used the motherboard bios to set to 1600mhz without increasing the voltage. Essentially it ran fine mostly, but every now and then I got a BSOD (usually...

NP. Give us an update how well it runs!

HOWEVER... Just saw the HP bit. They are notorious for making proprietary parts, and their PSU is possbily one of them. It would be useful to know what type of HP it is, as you might be lucky with a non-proprietary one.

For general web browsing and office work - absolutely worthwhile. Put in a cheap 80plus PSU like an EVGA white and it's solid. A cheap £25 120gb SSD can be had if you shop around, and it would be a big improvement over the HDD (which you'll want to secure wipe or smash) even if your motherboard...

I'll be receiving a Dell optiplex 9010 minitower next weekend. This case is identical to the dell optiplex 790 all the way up to the optiplex 9020. It currently has two fans - CPU and exhaust, which use dell properietary fan connectors and motherboard sensors to control it's RPM. I'm planning...

Get the single 16gb, you can get the other 16gb at a later date when (or if) RAM prices fall.

https://youtu.be/kjf1ZRDqzIg This guy puts a GTX1050 Ti into a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF. It's a worse power supply but the games run fine.

There have been many reports and YouTube videos of people using a gtx 1050 or gtx1050 ti on old dell optiplex systems. This includes the small form factor ones with 220w PSU that don't have a 6 pin power supply connector, and need a low profile bracket. Just YouTube optiplex 9010 graphics card...

My system has been stable for 7 years so far. Unsure whether to upgrade my Corsair CX430 v2 and donate it to upgrade an old office PC that needs a new one. I've never used a Be Quiet PSU, but a friend of mine has used their case fans before and highly recommends them. Although I've got...

Also tempted by this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/super-flower-platinum-king-550w-80-plus-platinum-power-supply-black-ca-056-sf.html Super flower Platinum King 550W platinum for £65 as it's on offer at the moment.

I have a corsair CX430 v2 (the green one with bronze 80+ certification) since mid 2011. It's been in an old HP compaq computer, then my current computer with specs below using a GTX460 for 6 years with coil whine only during gaming, then upgrading to my current gtx 1060 (no coil whine) last...

I think so, I never touched the voltages or enabled XMP. Just manually increased the memory frequency to 1600mhz. Poor buying choice at the time I think!

How much does it affect performance running it than without? Are you bombarded with advertisements to upgrade?

Is this your motherboard? https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/H81ME/specifications/ If that's the case, the motherboard only supports up to DDR3 1600. Which means it will only run at a maximum of DDR 1600mhz even if you put faster ram in. I'm also not sure if you need 1.5v or specifically...
