An update on this post while I'm here, in case someone encounters it in the future: I ended up purchasing two units for $190 each. They had been used for 3 months in mining and were in pristine condition, complete with their boxes and all accessories. After 9 months, both units are still...

Is it possible that the PCIE controller is dead after the drop? I saw this post facing a similar issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/ti6vs8/can_pcie_controller_on_the_cpu_go_bad/ Regardless, I ended up grabbing an i5 12400f and msi b760m-a along with a xigmatek air killer s. The...

Too late, I've installed the A0 version and nothing changed. Nothing is installed in the pcie slots, theres an nvme tho, not sure if its considered a pcie. The i7 is used, i got it for free from a friend because he upgraded, sadly he doesnt have his motherboard anymore, to use it for testing...

I've tried reverting back to the A1 version, I'll try to download the A0 from some website since it isnt available on their website and yes all 8 pin are connected.

Msi b360m pro vdh. I've tried putting the i5 back and everything worked fine, was able to get a signal from the gpu. However, the moment i put the i7 back, the gpu doesnt output anything anymore only the igpu work. And yes i updated bios and reset it multiple times.

As the title states, my specs were i5 9400f 16gb ram, rx6800xt, seasonic 650watt focus+. I upgraded the cpu to an i7 8700, however im facing a strange issue, when i turn on the pc and plug a cable into the gpu I dont get any signal, even if i plug the hdmi cable into the motherboard but...

Appreciate it, I'll give it a try and post an update.

It's a Turkish brand, called "Hometech" the one I have is: hometech 700c The specs are: N3350, 3gb ram, 32gb storage, and an IPS 1080p which looks really good. It had Windows 10 installed by default, and obviously, it doesn't handle it. (and I'm not willing to do some tweaks to reduce the...

As for the bios I disabled secure boot, TPM, enabled CSM, and disabled any option related to security in bios. However, I'm always getting stuck at the "starting windows" screen. I tried multiple ISOs after watching a couple of youtube videos on "how to install Windows 7 on modern hardware"...

Thanks appreciate your input! The rx6800xt is gddr6 and isn't that old, but it depends on how much time it's spent mining. Yeah thats what I'm talking about, even though its used for mining it can sometimes be a better option since most miners undervolt and clean them from time to time with...

Its a reference rx6800xt from the looks of if i would say its used for 1/1.5y in mining, its still in mint condition (looking at the pics) with box included and from a trusted store which specializes in building mining rigs. It doesn't include warrenty and yes I'll be able to test it before...

Well... I ended up getting the 1650s, $20 cheaper and overall the same performance. (Also, I wanna try Nvidia's cards, always had AMD) It'll be delivered in the next 2-3days!

Technically they both have the same performance, I'll go with the RX5500xt this model have a 0db feature (fan stop) and I'll do some overclocking should be good to go...

In general which one is better in the long run?
