AIEEEEEEEEE!

Bro! Cable manage! You're not an absolute savage!

You have a point. I really do need to do that sooner or later. Maybe when I'm not so excited about some fancy new front panel thingy.

I've heard they were really bad. Then again that's just hearsay.

Bulldozer as an architecture wasn't great, but it still works just fine.

I'm kinda surprised you're knocking old tech.

I sometimes will knock it. Especially nvidia cards. They work great under Windows, I'll give them that. But with modern Linux? Nope. I've had issues with pretty much every nvidia card I've ever had, considering the open source driver is not great, and the nvidia drivers don't work on modern Linux anymore.

That's good to hear and know.

I only have 32.

@beluga3858, thanks!

This is what mine looks like. Someone was getting rid of it, I took it, and stuck in some slightly better parts, plugged in the front fan which glows green, and called it a day.

@azurbanclucker come and see!

P.S. tell me if you notice any rednecking in there.

That's really nice. You need to open more tabs.

I'll be ordering another fan to replace that, and I'll be zip tieing said replacement fan to the GPU. That better?

I actually tried to do the fan taping while the shroud (thingy that holds the cheap fans that died) on the GPU. It got up to 88C.

I almost burned my finger taking it out. It got dropped like a hot potato but gently on a desk and was left to cool for a while.
