I thought you meant something else by "internal". Lately I haven't been playing around with Android as much as I used to but I have vague memories of forcing critical system stuff onto the MicroSD card on my rooted Galaxy S3 with a custom ROM and having all kinds of problems. In general, your...

It really depends on what type of devices you want to plug in. There is a throughput limitation and also a power limitation. Although I never tried it myself, I would assume you can't plug in five 4K displays or quick charge multiple devices. However, 2 high res displays + all regular...

You can't make it internal storage and even if you could, it wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can install apps and move them over to the SD card, and it is probably also possible to install them on the card in the first place. Google is your friend ;)

In theory it (probably) does, but you will never keep the GPU for long enough for it to actually make a difference. More often than not modern tech outlives its relevance (e.g. it becomes obsolete due to the progression of the industry before it actually dies or malfunctions). If this would be...

I followed your advice and was able to insert the images to my OP by linking to them directly, but I wasn't able to save the changes. I tried 10+ times and kept getting a popup saying a server error has occurred. I found only one thread where this memory behavior was mentioned over at the...

If you have an answer to this, you are a true OG. I've looked everywhere and found no explanation. My build: Asus Rampage IV Formula (X79) Intel Xeon e5 1650 v2 (=4930k, unlocked multiplier) 4x8GB Kingston Hyper X Savage (quad channel kit, 1866Mhz CL9) I spent a LOT of time recently learning...

I would recommend testing performance to see if you are actually running at lower frequency with 4 sticks. If I recall correctly, in cpu-z the non-doubled value is shown so your effective speed is 2x that. In task manager you should be seeing the effective speed though. Can you manually set ram...

Hi guys, quick update for anyone who stumbles upon this thread in the same situation. I was finally able to perform a quick test run and the board posted fine. Even my bios presets were intact, everything seems to be working properly. Should any issues come up in the future I'll make sure to...

Thanks, there's my new fact for the day. I agree, wouldn't volunteer to drink/eat the residue of that stuff on a regular basis... My fact for you: did you know that in most cases, you're completely fine washing dishes with no detergent at all? Just water is almost always enough, if it's hot...

Haha no, I'm just too much of a noob to get it apparently. Also didn't notice those 2 posts were both from you. Tell me pls, what is cascade? I have no idea tbh. Edit: ok so it's a detergent brand apparently. Never heard of it, we don't have it in my country. I thought it was some special...

Thank you all for the replies! So you say I can be hopeful the mobo is fine, as long as I get a new battery for it? I have a few lying around, but man sitting here not being able to test it is killing me. I don't use detergent as there is only dust and stuff like that to remove, I don't XOC...

I have an Asus Rampage IV Formula motherboard, which I washed in the dishwasher today. Before you freak out, derbauer and others have guides about this and I've done this countless times successfully with many different mobos. As long as you make sure everything is 101% dry before you fire it...

@Eximo, many thanks for your input. Just installed the MSI card in my system, for now with the stock cooler :)

I checked a few other models which are available used in my local community right now, and found that the MSI Gaming X may even be better for the ghetto block. It has a proper heat spreader on the VRM with fins and has a metal plate on the VRAM. There are pics here...

Just what I was looking for, thank you! :)
