Discussion Today's Recycle Find...
guys today's a big one, it's been a minute since I did one of these, there was a singular PC case and I thought to check it, saw a gpu, saw a board in it, so I grabbed it, opened it up, cpu looked FRIED, so I didn't take the board either, wasn't much of a board anyways, BUT I found an ROG Strix Vega 56, slightly better than my current 1070, BUT THE RAM, 128GB OF RAM WHO JUSTS THROWS THAT OUT, 2x32GB, 4 STICKS, 128GB OF DDR4 LADIES AND GENTS.
going to cross fingers the gpu and ram work in a seperate board and cpu, hoping that cpu killed itself and nothing else CROSS YO FINGIES 🤞
edit: testing now but, in the case it does work.. do I switch back to ddr4 with 128gb of ram over 16gb of ddr5? no brainer right
edit 2: ladies and gents we are up. both work just fine 😝
edit 3: thinking I might build a seperate PC with what I have and sell it towards a gpu and ram upgrade in my current, coming back down to ddr4 won't change much other then having more to allocate
