Dumpster season is officially here. The end of July is when all the leases on the apartments that the foreign CMU students rent end. A lot of them are very quick to adapt to American culture so when they graduate they just throw everything in the dumpster and get on a plane back to wherever they came from. First score of the season - a non functional but parts rich gaming PC.

- They were at least smart enough to pull the video card and storage, but left the CPU and RAM.

-The mobo seems to be fried, can't get any bleeps or bloops out of it even with a different PSU. Tried clearing the CMOS but didn't pull and reseat the ram and chip yet, though im guessing that's futile. I'm an Intel guy so I can't test the CPU at the moment but it's a ryzen 7 2700. Not a bad chip at all but not really an upgrade over my skylake 6600k for the kind of stuff I do.

- Ram is 32gb (4 x 8gb) ddr4 3200. I have 32 in my box now, but as 2 16s so I'm going to test these out and maybe use them.

- Not sure what model the AIO is but it's got 3 big fucking fans on the radiator. I'm not sure if the mounts will work with my Intel mobo, but I used to have an AIO on it so hopefully I can rig something up between the 2 kits.

- 1000w corsair PSU. Waaayyyyy more power than I need so I might sell it if it works. It was kinda wet out so I'm letting it dry out before testing.

- NZXT case. This is the real reason I grabbed this. I have a fairly powerful pc but the case and cooling solutions are laughably ghetto. Like take the side off and point a desktop fan at it because your AIO is 5 years old and out of liquid ghetto. Not sure what model this power rangers looking thing is but it's heavy as shit. It's got a fuck ton of rgb and cable routing doodads on the backplate, I might just rip that out as flashing lights are annoying as fuck. 120mm case fan in the front panel and 3 on the top. I might not even use the AIO if this is quiet enough as I get really good temps with air cooling even under load. Gelid thermal paste is crazy good.

Worst case scenario here I got a massive case and cooling upgrade and some backup ram.

If any nerd pals want the mobo to test and maybe fix hit me up. It could be something simple, I don't fuck with them beyond clearing CMOS. Might give up the CPU too as I don't have any way to test it unless I find another one with a functional motherboard.

Ryzen 7 2700 and the RAM are a great find, find a cheap B450 ITX mobo (since it's past gen), a cheap GPU and you got a HTPC / gaming PC for the living room. AIO looks like a NZXT 360mm, thought it was a Corsair AIO because of the logo on the fans.

I'm actually operating under the assumption they may have fried the chip now. The board is an ROG cross-hair 7 I believe, so it's a nice one if it's functional. I used the old paperclip trick on the PSU and got that working, but the board still won't POST and is throwing various CPU related q codes. I haven't had time to try cleaning and reseating it yet but it's such a pain to troubleshoot without knowing what happened or having a test board. I

I have a shitty old htpc Radeon card and a spare SSD I can throw in it if I get it running, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Likely just gonna use the case and cooling to make my build nicer. If I edited video or played games that used multicore then I would be a little more invested in fixing it, but 2700 single core performance is actually slower than my 5 year old 6600k I think.

AIO is an nzxt kraken I think, I didn’t look that hard. No idea why they switched to corsair fans (guessing for RGB) but I think they mounted them backwards unless they were doing some weird airflow shit.

He's on their payroll, idk what he does there. I just know he makes more working for Barstool than he does fighting.

That’s awesome happen early birthday! A lot of people bitch about getting older but it’s all about perspective. I actually take the time to pay attention when I am really enjoying life and make the most of things when I can. When I was younger I just didn’t appreciate anything and took too much for granted. Even thought I don’t skate as well as I could earlier in life I still get a ton of enjoyment out of it and just really appreciate being able to do something like skate a few times a week.

Thanks, man!
That’s how I’m feeling now. When I was 26-27, I was angry at myself for not being able to “keep up” like I used to. Now, I’m just happy with what I can do and love getting to push around.

my 7 month old puppy is wicked awesome. 50% GSD, 30% Husky, 20% Akita
temperament, intelligence, color, and shape of a GSD, size of a small female Husky (43lb), head shape of Akita. Dogs a great couch potato and sleeps in til I want to wake up, but also strong swimmer, hiker, will walk and explore all day in the woods, and is becoming a peach for in town and chilling at cafes/patios.

We're super stoked on the luck of the draw with this mountain mutt as it could have gone the other way. Glad to have picked the personable pup out of the litter

hitting strides in obedience as the bonding gets strong. she's a lot of work as she needs to be mentally stimulated but it's paying off right now. She's also getting over her car sickness, making life for all of us mad easier

Congrats on getting the "right" dog lol I know it depends on how you raise them but their temperament play a huge role on how that dog will turn out

Plus, she's a beauty I don't think I've ever seen that mix

IUTSM · « **Reply #43637 on:** August 01, 2022, 12:13:10 PM »

Ya thanks, man. She's a good one with a lot of personality hahaha but really, her temperament is quite good. She's confident. Not like a working dog but she's got some alright drive. If I were an experienced trainer or had access to one, I think she'd be even better. No complaints here though. We just got in from a long walk and meeting cows...

I skated yesterday for the first time in like uhhh fuck, 9 months maybe, shittt. But it was fun as frick! And I almost nailed a new trick on the quarterpipe, a kickflip staple gun. I welcome your judgment of my dork trick selection but I am out of shape and rusty and must rely on the only arsenal I have left

Gonna get some fun clips as soon as I can start landing stuff again oh yesssss

Landed my first Nollie Lipslide shove out a few days ago, and did a FS Board shove out too which I haven't done in 15 years. Lame but fun tricks, good to have a bag of these to throw our during skate to fuck with people.

Seeing Alex Jones' fall from "grace" has been such a highlight in a sea of bullshit. I hope he's raked across the coals until there's nothing left.

Got new teefs (temporary ones at least) a week and a half ago.

Was walking back from my skate break at work, caught a cute college girlie giving me the eyes, and was able to confidently smile back for the first time in years. Felt really, really fucking good.
