Anyone recognize what CPU socket these cooler mounting holes are for?

I have a bracket on my hand that I measured, but it would be nice to know what socket that actually is, in case I need something better than a Chineseum waterblock.

As long as the Dell logo is covered, I don't have a problem with doing it.

dell logo is englarged 400% so it can be identified from orbit
Well it just got here. Almost missed it because it was a Fedex small delivery van, so didn't hear the rumble of the truck.

That's the AM2/AM3 AMD mount. Some AM4 boards have these holes too.

Yeah I'm all for that skin but not with the hideous yellow logo. I actually really like the black wood style.

I went to get my new display from the mail. After I got back, I opened up my PC to dust it, looked at the waterblock on top of my FX-8320 and went, "that looks really familiar".
No wonder.
Remember when LGA 775 was around for a while and Intel didn't make you buy a brand new motherboard for every single fucking generation of CPU?
[QUOTE=Chryseus;52603806]Turn it off, it's highly unreliable, unless you are getting symptoms of power supply failure it's fine, also it has nothing to do with power surges despite the name.[/QUOTE]
Well I get a notification on it each time the family desktop boots up, where you have to press F1 or F2 to continue. It doesn't seem to randomly shut down in any way whatsoever, even when on load. It just POST, then beeps saying that the Anti-surge was tripped. What does it actually detect anyways if it has nothing to do with power surges? The PSU is brand new too.

I think people kinda have rose tinted glasses on this one. We didn't really get 775 for all that long. We got it midlife through Netburst and Core2. That wasn't all that long in the scheme of things. After Intel decided to then split it into two sections with 1156 and 1366. 1366 and 1156 lasting only for Nehalem, where they were then replaced by 1155 and 2011 for Sandy Bridge and Sandy Bridge-E, both of which lasted until Ivy and Ivy-E, before being replaced yet again. This trend has continued. Haswell and Broadwell, same. Now we have Skylake, Kabylake and Coffeelake. These are all 1151, the only catch is chipset compatibility, but that's something that has been present since 775, it's just always varied in how bad it is.
Intel's kind of a dick for forcing new motherboards with each generation, but I mean I upgrade so infrequently that I have to buy a new motherboard every time anyway. Doesn't really bother me.
Setup my account on the XPS, set the password, same password I use for my desktop. Accidently closed the lid, so it slept. Booted it up. Password is incorrect. :v:
Guess I'm wiping it.

At least you now know that Sleep works :v:
By the way, I know this is a few hours later, but go marble or go home:

Even just... I'm not even sure how I blow away this account and just do another.

I'm not sure if this "exploit" still works in 10, but when I'm "locked out" of a 7 PC at work and it can't authenticate with a domain controller, I start up a boot CD, replace the Ease of Access program with CMD and boom. You have access to a SYSTEM level command prompt at the login screen to change the local admin password. Just make sure you switch it back. :v:

Wow
The very pinnacle of "physical access is access"?
Turns out the system has a PM961 Samsung SSD.

Shame that it doesn't work anymore now that most stuff is encrypted
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;52604685]are you [I]fucking kidding me[/I][/QUOTE]
What are you complaining about? A live CD has full access to the file system and can change anything anyway. There are tools that directly let you set passwords, but when all you've got is an install CD you can copy CMD over any software that gets loaded for the login screen and use that.

This is why we encrypt [b]everything[/b].
Ok this is really fucking stupid now. Did the system reset, setup my new account. Typed in my password, rebooted to upgrade to 10 pro. Password is incorrect. what the hell is going on
maybe its a caps lock or qwerty/qwertz problem

Also with win10 I think you might need to use your microsoft account password - you can change that later tho to take a pin or different password
Tried entering the password with the software/touch keyboard?
It wasn't on because I also verified it when I typed it in to set it. Tried it with the onscreen, no luck.
This is also an offline account because using MS's account fucks up so much for me on my main desktop.

Yep. It also lends credence to "passwords keep honest people out".
Along the same lines, you can just tell grub to start bash when it boots so you have a root shell to do pretty much the same thing for Linux.
That's why if you really actually care about your PC being physically secure, you make sure you encrypt your OS drive.
I did a system reset... again. This time I'll choose a very simple password to get started.
Does the laptop have a numpad mode that turns the right side of the keyboard into a numpad
