please don't give me new financial nightmares. I'm already poor.
(In reality, I have another AM4 motherboard I could use in a pinch. It would just be inconvenient because it's micro-ATX instead of mini-ITX and I'd have to shift my home server to something even older.)
(Also, motherboards are the one component that isn't really going up in price.)
You could also just replace the capacitors. Normally it's not worth doing because the time investment isn't worth the cost of another motherboard but these days you never know what they're going to do with pricing.
PC repair shops are back in business! Repairing motherboards worth nothing because it's the only way to use the RAM which is worth £7500
ok. but my financial nightmares. I have this laptop and can't afford something new. I wanted to pay for a deposit for a house before the tech industry collapsed.
You can get laptops for under £200 at CEX here. Sometimes under £100. They will still run UT1999 at 60FPS. Probably 144FPS if it supports outputting that high over what ever port it has for an external display.
We are going retro!
