You can modify your BIOS to add resizable BAR support to old motherboards like this. It works on RX 400/500 series using Nimez drivers. I got a 10+% improvement in DX12 and reduces the stutters alot.

[@grizzlyindustries7593]

I remember doing this with a HD6000 series card, yet I just thought it wasn't doing anything that Windows 10 already does with extra allocated ram set aside to the GPU anyway. But that was a year ago. I'd definitely give it another try if I ever get ahold of another older AMD card.

These Dells have locked bioses, don't they?

[@thegroi]

@@Kyle-pj2vc if you have 2 graphics card and you only want to modify one, you can just switch to the good one if something SOMEHOW goes wrong. The risk of corrupted bioses come if you're downloading a bios you have not modified on your own hardware, but if you modify your current bios yourself, you should be okay.

Just built a little beast for under $100 USB too. Bought a case with a motherboard and i5 6500 at a thrift shop for $10! Inspired me to build something, so I started looking through thrift shops and FB market place. Picked up a psu at a Goodwill for $20, then found $20 on the sidewalk outside, so free? Got an ssd for $10 off Amazon for Black Friday and had a 1tb hhd I was given with a gifted PC. Then picked up a gtx 970 for $40 from Facebook and 16gb 3200mhz ddr4 for $20 off Craigslist. All that totalled to $100, but since the psu was basically free, I spent another $15 on some rgb fans. Looks great now! Super happy with it

I was expecting a potato for a graphics card, but you came through with an awesome deal for ANY RX480. Strangely enough, I had upgraded from an RX480 to a 1080ti. The pro-tip on the RX480 is to run an RX580 Bios... It will usually pick up the performance impressively (I was able to gain 200 MHz on my GPU).

[@privateNukem]

Tbf, junping to a 1080ti from a RX 480 is a huge improvement.

the reason that pc can run actual games is litearlly 100% beacuse of that GPU an i7 thats like 2nd or like 3rd gen isnt going to do anything more other than just browsing. Although it was still a very nice PC build and i liked it. For the price you really cant go wrong with it.

with current pricing and the fomo of not having the latest gear its very refreshing to see content like this. Was not expecting 60fps in WZ even with FSR 1.0. Makes me feel very lucky to have a solid AM4 / pascal system that is gonna be kept going for another gen thanks to current gfx prices.

Keep up the good work matey!

[@wizarian]

Amazing job, like always. Anyway there's one thing I wouldn't recommend people to do at home, no matter how experienced they are: is cleaning the power supply with water, capacitors are unsafe and someone could end up folgorated.

To discharge a power supply, if you're brave, using a wire or plier you can short the big cap on the backside. But normally, power cycling it is enough to discharge it (also possible by jumping the right socket holes in the atx conn.

[@mfvicli]

My first gaming PC actually had an i7-2600. It was a Dell Optiplex 990MT that I picked up for around $200 new and which I paired with a 1050ti. It ran 1080p low pretty good with 60+ fps for years. Crazy to see this CPU still performing well in 2022!

[@fliporflop7119]

I thought the OptiPlex 390 maximum cpu official support was i5 2400, but 2500 works as well. Never tried an i7 though. Had to short 3 pins together on front io, and run a wire from Cpu fan green wire all the way to pin 3 on front fan connector and from there I ran another wire to pin 3 on back fan connector to get rid of those messages. Basically all 3 tachometric signal pins were connected to each other. The most annoying obscure problem ever.

[@EzBreezy750]

Still crazy to me that you can submerge pc stuff in water 💦 😮and it works fine after

Awesome bargaining! I got an HP Pavilion 500 with an i7 4790s, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD and a GTX 745 for 50€ shipped. Sold the graphics card for 20€, bought a used 500W PSU for 15€, another stick of 8GB RAM for 8€ shipped and an untested GTX 970 for 25€ - total cost was therefore less than 80€, I think that’s a steal as well as your computer over here!

This is what PC flippin is all about. Building something useful of older hardware comming of "trash" deals. That RX 480 8GB for 60 AUD... That is a steal m8 - congratulations! For those who don't know, the RX 480 is practically the same as the later RX 580, where the only improvement was the clockspeed increase (and the higher power target/limit set, so it could maintain that speed stable = 10% better performance). Good thing about udervolting the RX 480 reference, is that it now can sustain a stable 1266 MHz factory speed, compared to the throttlling happening at stock settings, due to hitting the power limit. Just doing that, you get 3-5% better performance.

Replaced the psu with a seasonic 860 plat I've had for awhile, threw my old 980 ti hybrid in there and bought a 1tb crucial p3 off Amazon for $62 on black Friday. Someday when I sell the 500w psu and the wifi adapter, might end up costing less than $100!

Also, he didn't factor in his fuel costs in collecting the components, nor his labour costs - even at minimum wage, the amount of time put into this far exceeds the $100 spent on parts!
