wilx.comWhat should I look for when getting replacement battery?
Asus FA617NT, the reported battery health in Helper app is 8% and it dies rather fast after I get "full" charge then unplug it while it's running.
When I look around, the price varies from around $30 to $100 with genuine but used Asus being the higher end. I'd rather avoid used if possible but will consider a safe 3rd party replacement battery.

cbc.caIs this OK temp for Gigabyte 2060 Super 8GB?
After running Furmark for about 15 minutes
I got this GPU a week ago at a yard sale, unknown condition and very cheap. I did repaste it and new pads for the RAM as the old ones were crumbling like a decade old forgotten cookie. So far it's been working without any visible issue.
This is at stock setting (running at non-boosted setting), no change in voltage or clock at all.
What software was it? Like Furmark but with fuzzy red object that looked heart-shaped?
I remember seeing this long ago when comparing it to Furmark 3D. I thought it was OCCT but when I checked, it wasn't in it. Any of you remember what 3D GPU torture software was it that had red fuzzy object? TIA

I love yard sales! $10 7th gen PC and a $20 Gigabyte 2060 Super
I'm just getting around to working on this as I needed new thermal paste and pad for the 2060, the old one was as dry as your great-grandma's fruit cake that she forgot to bring for the last 70 years.
The PC is a small HP box with 7th gen Intel CPU 7700, DVD-ROM, 2x 8GB DDR4, a 16GB Intel Optane M.2 stick, and a 1TB Sandisk SSD with a Rocketfish branded 3.5" to 2.5" adapter so it was upgraded at one point. The case did have a nice silver brushed aluminum look with raised hexagon pattern. (Do I need that Optane? It was meant to be used with mechanical drive, not SSD as there's no real speed boost)
The GPU is a Gigabyte 2060 Super. After a quick repaste, re-pad, and reassembly then a test, it works. (exit 10 minutes Furmark test, topped at 77C GPU, 87C VRAM, and 90C hot spot, not to bad with stock voltage and speed setting) As did the HP box.
I did have an idea to install the 2060 in the HP box since there's an unused PCIe slot, but the tiny propriety PSU doesn't have PCIe connector and probably can't spare a few more watts (needs spare 150w minimum). booo

Guess I'll hack in the PCIe connector and tuck in that 12v PSU. So I'd have a decent spare PC with decent GPU for oh about $35 plus whatever the cost of a spare PCIe cable. Last part is still to do as I'd need to connect the 110v somewhere and find a way to tap off the stock PSU's power jack, with a relay connected to PC's 12v from disk drive cable so it'd turn on the 12v PSU when the PC comes on.
Playing Phantasy Star 2 on my Switch (Genesis Classics), is the bug with Neifirst still in the game?
In the original version, if you revived Nei after she dies, Neifrst doesn't attack Nei at all, Nei can finish Neifirst even if the rest of the party died.
Is that still present in Switch version?

audiology.orgAnyone? Looking for a B550 motherboard with wifi, my 5600G needs a home. 4 DDR4 slots preferable.
edit: important that the first M.2 slot is between CPU and PCIe slot. I have a SSD with big heat sink that will not fit under GPU if it's right below the PCIe slot.

cnn.comI've looked and it seems those uses 2 desktop sized DDR sticks but I have 4x 8GB DDR5 leftover from laptop upgrade. If I can use all 4 in a single ITX build, I'd save myself bundles comparing to buying new RAM.
My parents are still using ancient i5 1155 rig in an ITX case. I can easily reuse the case with the DVD-ROM and memory card reader. But the motherboard, CPU, and DDR3 RAM are dated and slowing things down nowadays.
