The i8/9 is great band for buck. I buy certified 80+ PSU. Ota was claiming he had a 600 watt (in his thread) and I'm being his probably only puts out another 350-420. I'm big out the game myself. I'm not handling IT anymore so everything is now on my dime. It isn't financial woes it's prices are absurd.
GPU's are crazy. Mobile phones I was considered an idiot when I bought my Treo 600 and the Treo 650 for $600, now that only gets you a gen old used one, at best. Back then I was buying and selling phones KILLING it profit. I don't even fool with it now. Same as modified XBOX original with XBMC and then Firesticks XBMC turned into Kodi anti I just don't have time for it anymore.
I see people trying to sell their TVs when I have a local company selling them in box for cheaper than their used crap. The market is effed. I bought a 2006 Ford F250 no options in 2011 maybe. $8900. It is worth an easy 10k here now.
Quarantine easing my ass. Err I meant "stimmie".
Used to beta test for companies as I was considered an "insider" before Android Central. Which I was banned from a decade plus ago. Can't recall why...oh yeah, amateurs who think they know everything because YouTube made them an expert. Passes to the big expos and all kinds of crap.
Anyone looking I might have a line on a set of very decent laptops. I'm going to probably sell them at $200 to PFF if I buy them and $250 locally. 8GB with it and 128GB SSD. Not to hijack you Todd. Going to inspect them tomorrow[This message has been edited by ls3mach (edited 11-28-2021).]

Make sure the "BIOS" is set right to match RAM speeds.
CPUz tells RAM speeds "burned into" the RAM sticks in SPD Tag.
a stick may support RAM "Turbo" (XMP) but most "BIOS" only uses JEDEC numbers by default.

Just got the PSU and installed it. Everything went well... I had to re-wire everything, basically... but it's a much better power supply unit, and a lot of people had complained that this model of machine was underpowered (500 watt and it would come with an RTX 2080). I only have the 2070, but a couple of times when actually playing a game, the computer would just do a hard reboot. So, this should fix that...

So, I recently bought my daughter a Lenovo Legion T5 gaming PC (she hasn't gotten it yet, it's for Christmas). It's a newer version of my computer, but lower models. So it can eventually be upgraded to beyond what I have, but in it's present state, it has a lower processor, the 1660 Super RTX, and only 16gb of ram... but perfect for her. Anyway, THAT one came with a 400w power supply. So I took the 500w that I pulled out of my Lenovo Legion T730, and put that into her Lenovo Legion T5, fit right in, and belongs. So got two upgrades out of one! Woo hoo!
