need help shoving a CPU in a pc it's very much not intended to go into - Feddit.it
Around six months ago (and luckily before the whole ram shortage) I managed to scrounge up enough money to build this monstrosity of a machine [https://feddit.it/post/20368809], based on what I thought was a lenovo thinkcentre m700… More on that further down. The whole mod works wonderfully. But the problem i’m facing is that the poor i5-6500 it came with just cannot keep up with what i’m doing with it and bottlenecks the whole machine. Without any mods. The Best CPU i can put into it is an i7-6700. Which is still a 6th gen CPU… But it’s still about 70€ where I live. While for some reason I can find a lot of i3-9100. For 20-30€. Which from what I understand are B0 stepping chips and don’t require pin modding to be used. And should still be a good upgrade. The last problem was the BIOS. The bios on this machine is not meant to support such a new chip. But I remember reading people having success with a program called “coffeetime” to shoehorn the microcode to use newer cpus. When I went to sanity check what the machine’s bios said. I found out it’s a actually an m800. Not an m700. This raises a problem. Since it’s chipset is a q150. That has the problem of having a stricter/ more in depth Intel ME. That from what I managed to find requires somekind of bypass. Do you think this is still feasible to do? And do you know if there is any safe source for coffeetime / some guide to do this mod by hand? Since having a random software that I can’t read the source of modify the bios of my machine feels a bit iffy.

My "new" RTX 3060 just came in, this is probably the last upgrade I do to my main desktop PC before it gets decommissioned and I get a Framework PC next year. For now this will suffice. It's a TI XC model with 8GB in a two slot config because I have a mini ITX board. I've got it refurbished because new cards for older models are crazy expensive 🫰🏻

Glorified home server to gaming PC
Glorified home server to gaming PC - Lemmy NSFW
A few years ago I built a glorified home server PC, I’m considering dropping a decent video card into it and trying to use it hooked up to a TV as a Linux running Steam machine-esque system, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it based on the other specs. I know the CPU in particular could use an upgrade, but as is should I bother dropping something like an RTX 5070 in it? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LnrBDw [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LnrBDw]
Possible virus downloaded in PC? Any explanation for issues I encountered?
Possible virus downloaded in PC? Any explanation for issues I encountered? - sh.itjust.works
My cousin had encountered issues where his PC would ask to choose an OS to boot into which was strange as I only installed windows 11 into it. From there it began to not detect any bootable devices. I go to check it out and enounter the same issues, even after changing the boot priority (the only storage, a HDD, was still showing in the BIOS). I am unable to even boot into an Ubuntu image on a USB (crashes when it does a “file check” or something to that effect). Suspecting the HDD, less than a year old, may be damaged I connect it to my rig (dumb mistake in hindsight), and I am able to view files in the hdd with no issues, several times. I assume then that the HDD is likely working and my cousin either downloaded something malicious or made a change to his system to damage it. I setup a windows 11 image, and connect to via usb to his system where I reinstall windows. Even after successfully “installing” windows 11, i kept getting a no bootable device error. I was finally able to boot into an Ubuntu image on a USB, and still view the HDD, so I reinstalled linux with no issues, after which i was finally able to reinstall windows 11 with no issues. I’m curious if this could have been a virus that cause these issues? (do any viruses cause similar issues?) If its more likely he did something wrong to the PC (he’s not tech savvy) or potentially something else?

Help me choose a new display?
Help me choose a new display? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been rocking 3, 40inch 1080p 60hz Best Buy insignia TV’s, for about three years now. I bought them because I was heavy into Online racing. And they also worked nicely with with the other game I love Arma 3. I’ve been thinking of upgrading lately, and I want to keep my cost to around $1K CAD. My system specs are an i13900K, 7900XTX and 32 Gig’s of ram. So anyways these are my 3 (to 4ish) choices. 1. Keep the triple monitor setup with 3 1440p ips monitors. These are the cheapest option for me. 2. (and 3ish)Going high end OLED and getting a SAMSUNG 42-Inch 144hz OLED Smart TV. Ken from the Denki Channel uses this as his work monitor and raves about it. Or getting a Samsung 49 inch ultrawide OLED monitor . (I’m not sure about this one because it’s only 1440p) 4. Get some 50 inch 144hz 4K QLED type TV. (I like big screens and I cannot lie.) To me 27 is too small but that is apparently the golden zone for 1440p. Any size larger and I want to go 4K. And the dark horse would be to try some XR glasses. like the the new Viture Beast. I am leaning towards the 42 inch Samsung OLED. Anyways if you have other suggestions please let me know. I appreciate your help.
