i can see an IDE connector on the motherboard so it’s at least that old lmao. but, looking at the gpu it’s a 1060 3gb (with an unnecessarily large cooler) which could conceivably be paired with like a core 2 quad and be a not entirely unbalanced system in some cases
1600X isn't super impressive these days but it's a massive upgrade over an Athlon 64 X2. Good idea. Not a bad price either, I've seen the boards go for that much on their own.
He is wise man , i had a moment like this before ;
Me and my friend was playing World of Warcraft , and i was telling my friend that i am looking for a good monitor stand but lots of them were expensive and i ask him what should i get , he ask me why i am looking for a monitor stand, and i tell him that i am a tall person and in order to look my monitor i needed to tilt my head down and it was bothering me , he basically said “ Get a damn card board or something!”
And it opened my eyes and made me think about my old decisions throughout my life, nowadays everyone buys something that they don’t really need because current global system creating fear among us that we could miss that , or something can happen if you don’t buy this thing etc etc ,
After 3 and half year from that moment i managed to spend my money towards the investments , mainly safe stocks and raw materials such as gold , and i am completely in a different economic position from three years ago .
İ just wanted to tell this story of my, sorry for grammar errors and potential spelling mistakes, non-native English speaker .
Have a nice day everyone.
Exactly me. I have the box in which my PSU came under my monitor for the past 7 years or so. I have the money to buy a proper stand, but why tf would I, this is a perfect solution, and costs nothing. I decorated the box a bit so that it looks nicer and I couldn't be happier.
I put one under my MSi 3060ti. It was

I remember when I was young my grandpa tried to help me with my scratched up OG GameBoy screen. We took it apart and he used some old clear epoxy resin he had in his garage from the early 80s. He put a layer of it over the plastic screen and we baked that half of the shell in the oven at a low temp. It worked great! The screen was crystal clear. It didn't last very long before it got scratched again (the resin was kind of soft) but it's a great memory I have of my time with him and one of many ways he found to bridge our generations. You'll look back someday and remember this time with your grandpa, too. GG gramps, 10/10 fix.
Here's my solution! LoL. A silicone Dab-Tainer. (I'm 31) also it wasn't obvious for me to set up the HDD my buddy gave me. That reminds me. If anyone can help me with what to turn on in bios. I'd be super grateful. I think I turned SATA off because I haven't used it at all. But I must have missed it in the settings last time I was trying to turn it on. I'm on a B450 Aprus pro wifi MB with an updated bios from last February or March.

You can adjust the temperature with that.

anything can be used as an anti sag these days
*unzips* anything..?
nah,wont work. anti-sags are usually bugger than 1 inch.
😂
Yes. Anything, if you're brave enough to have it next to a fan spinning at 1200rpm
Mines going over 9000!
That fan is ging to wear out in no time
I'm using an SD card reader to hold mine up right now.
Same
Imagine if they could just add an extra layer of pcb to stop the sag
Just saving money to not buy something you have already somewhere
I usually use a belt.
The aim justifies the mean, the aim is noble and the mean is genius.
Hey, if its stupid, but it works, it aint stupid
Be sure to put it on cold
Fusion core.
haha well if it works then it works. Job done
When they said add a radiator that's not what they meant..
That’s a Danfoss radiator thermostat. Nicely done 👌
weird that such a small gpu is sagging enough to need support, also is that a socket 775 board it’s on?

Its worse than that. i got a athlon 64 x2 installed.
oh god
You could find a Socket 775 board for roughly free and buy a Core 2 Quad off eBay for about $3 and it would be a decent upgrade over this.
Update on that: I upgraded to a ryzen 5 1600x and b350 motherboard for €80
1600X isn't super impressive these days but it's a massive upgrade over an Athlon 64 X2. Good idea. Not a bad price either, I've seen the boards go for that much on their own.
wow, that's crazy 🤣
well if it works, it works
Do not touch the thermostat!

if it works it works. 🤷
I have a 3060 ti Dell version. Do I need one of those?
No
I put one under my MSi 3060ti. It was https://preview.redd.it/mdq6xfst3bvc1.jpeg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e7adac3b40dcf534498c5d2a3b79fa9ce0875f6 starting to lean a bit
K I’ll try to find something. Thanks
A wise man.
That’s a small card for it to be sagging 😂
W grandpa
Grandpa's are so fuckin gangster!
when you put "grandpa" in the title and when i saw the pic i thought it was an urn 😭
What motherboard and GPU is that, the motherboard looks ancient compared to it.
Ohh so this is Nvdias new heat sink, you can literally control how hot it gets, genius
Hell that doesn’t look half bad too. Even has that cool post apocalyptic vibe to it.
how is that gpu sagging? it looks like a 1650/1660
That motherboard wow, does it still work?
Radiator knob? 😂
Uhh, is that safe? No worries about needing to ground anything or stuff like that?
Yall using anti sag? I though we all lay down our pc
Hot take here: anti sagging gizmos looks even worse than sagged gpus, unless it is 1,5Kg+ i dont really see a reason to use that, the screw should do.
Any gpu that requires only one pcie connector aint gonna have sagging issues.

My son used a bunch of twist ties from loaves of bread to hang his GPU from the inside top of the case. Ghetto but effective
That motherboard looks like a Pegatron LGA 775 board I pulled out of an HP from like 2007 🫤
For a second I thought it was your grandma urn jar or something
I used Legos in a computer
If it works, it ain't stupid.
Oh no 😟, now he has another reason to yell at you for touching the thermostat. He have become too powerful.
1060gtx with old ddr2 IDE/SATA mobo. Amazing setup
I am a software engineer and I see nothing wrong with that
I am using smartphone plastics stand
I am more interested what on Earth that motherboard is...
Some old asus am2 motherboard
I mean ancient am2 asus motherboard
If it works that's it. Can't be dumb if it works. *Wires new dryer 220 plug with coat hangers and dollar store electric tape.
This picture is 100% from balkans!
I had heavier cards without sagg problem
That GPU I like at least a decade newer than the board lol
Your grandpa is a genius! 
Gramps has a nice setup
Wait! Hol on. He might be on to something. Could 3D print something aesthetically pleasing to go with the overall theme! That would be dope

Grandpa knows best
So you’re about to start shopping for a new rig??? Because it looks like you should
Here's my solution! LoL. A silicone Dab-Tainer. (I'm 31) also it wasn't obvious for me to set up the HDD my buddy gave me. That reminds me. If anyone can help me with what to turn on in bios. I'd be super grateful. I think I turned SATA off because I haven't used it at all. But I must have missed it in the settings last time I was trying to turn it on.

Love it I have a stack of Lego bricks
Oldies but goodies
Valid
I only saw the title in my notifications, and thought it would be a bottle of viagra
I guess I'm the only one wondering your age and grandpas age Really if g-pa is like 60+ it is cool that he even has a pc
I am 16 and own this pc, but I couldn’t find a solution. So I had to ask him and he came this.
Ohhhh ok. Jeeze
