  1. Hard drive question!


    Long story short I am very frustrated with Windows. I switched to Mac years ago but still pull my old PC out every once in a while to game. However I got locked out of it and when I try to factory reset my computer I get errors. I’ve had nothing but issues with it. With that being said, can I buy a hard drive with windows 10 preloaded on it from eBay it something and it’ll work? The computer is currently bricked and won’t do anything. TIA

  2. Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
