Hi everyone, I have preordered the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU to upgrade my AMD 1700 build. This will provide me a better performance increase as I’m running the CPU at stock speeds, up to 3.20Ghz. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU runs at 3.7Ghz base speeds with Precision Boost going up to 4.3Ghz. It is a very nice speed boost compared to my 1700 CPU and considering I was overclocking it to 3.6Ghz, but I had to reverse it…
Hi everyone, It is very unfortunate to say that these RAM sticks are dead: They were an essential part of my laptop for some time now but ultimately decided to fail on me. I always put my laptop to sleep, but when I reached home, the machine would try to boot and then suddenly shut down, and restart on its own trying to boot. I took out the RAM sticks and tested one at a time, but it was a…
Hi everyone, Some time ago, I purchased the JET-5608AK SODIMM to DIMM Adapter. What this does is convert a SODIMM RAM module into a DIMM module. SODIMM is the RAM used on laptops, while DIMMs are the RAM used in Desktop computers. Unboxing: The product came in a very simple box: And opening it shows just the SODIMM to DIMM adapter very well protected: The front of the device can be seen at the start of this posts but here…
Hi everyone, In this post, today I’ll share you this method that will surely end with your laptop overheating issues. As you may know, CPU fans comes normally with 3 or 4 pins. 3-pin fans are Voltage-controlled, where the variance in voltage changes the CPU fan speed. The 3rd cable sends rotational speed information to the computer and depending on the heat and the BIOS, it will either increase or decrease the fan to a specified RPM. This is very…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’d like to tell you how I revived my Crucial M4 mSATA SSD drive. So, it seems that sometimes, when a power failure happens, the drive will not be detected in the PC BIOS. I thought the drive was dead, but luckily, I found these instructions at Crucial forum and I immediately proceeded to follow them. The result? The SSD was REVIVED! Here’s my Desktop System: The steps I performed where the following: With the mSATA drive…
Hi everyone, Yesterday, I showed you my Raspberry/Orange Pi and other SBCs placed in their new place and crunching tasks Today, I show you my tablets also crunching tasks in their new place as well. They are all crunching BOINC projects. The ones with the heatsinks are Intel-based tablets that overheat. Placing the heatsink and the fan cools them down: That’s all! Post Views: 8
Hi everyone, Today has been a busy day, as I’ve been configuring back my Raspberry and Orange Pi’s as well as my PINE 64 to crunch BOINC Distributed Computing tasks again. Also, I moved some of the Intel SBCs to their new place as you can see in the image below: These SBCs has been offline since the last days of July and now I’ve put them up to work and contribute again. They are mostly running Universe@Home tasks. You…
Hi everyone, On Thursday, I got my new Thermaltake PC cases which I used to build my 2 main computers. In this post, I’ll share some pictures of the builds: The box where the cases came is the following: Opening the box, we can see the case being protected with a plastic bag: After taking the case out of the box, it looks like this: And now, let’s see how my AMD Ryzen 7 1700 build looks: Now, my Intel…
So, yesterday I moved, and I began building my computers. The only thing I didn’t ship was the PC cases as the shipping would be pretty high, and instead, I shipped the parts separately. Then, yesterday I built them and ordered brand-new cases for them. In the meantime, I’m using them like this: Here, you can see my AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and Intel i7-3610QM machines with an AMD RX 570 and an Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB. Both are on…
