Congrats on the awesome ram! If you didn't buy that new from an authorized distributor or genuine used elsewhere, there's a good chance it's fake and will need something like a voltage boost to work at 2200. I'm not experienced with overclocking ram or xmp, but have read a few recent threads...

Not yet. Probably will be towards the end of the year or next year--work has me quite busy right now.

Gotcha. I will see what I can dig up, although I know the gpus were gtx 6xx series.

I know I have a complete q9650 sli setup with ram and I think even 2x gpus. This was working when I purchased it from the previous owner but haven't powered it up myself yet. What would something like that be worth to you?

Budget?

ARM ...they don't have a leg to stand on. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I'll show myself out, lol. :D

Okay good. So there is nothing wrong with the hardware and it is some sort of windows software issue. I would start with the driver as mentioned above, especially if you never downloaded and installed the manufacturer one.

Good. So you didn't damage anything while trying the upgrade. The only thing I can see that might be the root cause of this is that while the TDP of both your original processor and the i5 is 35w, because the i5 is a 4 core and because it has a higher max temp, the cooling is probably...

One thing you could try if your router/modem combo allows it, is to enable bridge mode and connect your PC directly to it. This should give your PC the public IP and then if you still have issues, it is within the ISP. If you don't have issues, you have a potential workaround by getting your...

Super strange for sure. Well, this is a set of oddball ideas, but let's see what happens. Disconnect your system from the new router and plug in your old one and see if you can connect to the web interface on it. If so, set the dhcp range to something different than your main router and...

Yeah, I forgot you were in India. :( Found these on ebay and you could contact the seller about shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144175517694?hash=item219187cffe%3Ag%3AX5IAAOSwbJBhKBr-&LH_BO=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/393574787265?hash=item5ba2e2a8c1%3Ag%3ApHoAAOSwy0thQlSs&LH_BO=1 The other...

lol! You just described my entire network. :D Yeah, that's why I don't think they'll be worth any money.

The problem is outside of the US, even used computers are much more expensive than here, and OP is in India.

I don't see much demand for these even in the homelab scene, and like you said, just taking the time and cost to ship to make $10 may not be worth it and it would be worth more just using the m.2 if it was empty.

Knowing what I know about what engineers do when dealing with materials sciences (my dad was a mechanical engineer), I highly doubt that the TDP for all the specific products isn't known. But it probably made more financial sense to simply label all of them the same and provide the same cooling...
