What is the worst LOTR Lego with today's prices?

Everything is in the title. I just finished my collection of Lego LOTR/Hobbit sets and it was a blast. Got some very good deals, and I had to pay some at market price.

I'll go first, in my opinion, with the current prices, the worst one is the Pirate Ship Ambush. The dead minifigures are out of this world, but besides that, it is pretty bland. Not that much room to play with, looks good on a shelf, but compared to similar priced sets (Helm's Deep), it's not up to par.

error 0199 juste appeared

For a bit of context:

I bought a Lenovon gen 5 Thinkcentre second handed a few months back (seller had all the documentation, a lovely gentlemen). I upgraded the GPU (which lost me the ability to connect to windows using the pin).

I just upgraded the ram, and now I have the error 0199 system security - security password retry count exceeded on last boot.

I did not install a password. Nobody did.

I am at a lost, is there something I can do without changing the motherboard?

Ram choosing not to work.

I have the following situation:
I am using a R5 5600g on a B550m Gigabyte gaming x wifi 6, and I am trying to put the ram properly.
I am using 2 different kits from corsair vengeance:
cmk8gx4m2b3000c15
cmk16gx4m2b3000c15
Same frequency, same CL.

When I only use 2 sticks in A1 and B1 (or A2 and B2), then I can use XMP and it works. But when I put all 4 sticks, only the first 2 (slot 0 and 1) are detected, even without XMP.

I am at a loss, what could I do?

Small upgrade for small PC

So.

Way back in the days, I used a 1050Ti in an eGPU setup (using a Toshiba satellite from 2011).

It was not great, but money was not available.

I upgraded since then (since 2022 in fact). Recently, on LeBonCoin (facebook marketplace but for croissant eaters), I bought a Lenovo Thinkcentre gen 5, i5 14400, 15go of DDR4 for 200€. I was going to use it as a side workstation for long computation (not efficient, but it does work). Since some computation require GPU, I used my 1050Ti. And because I wished to, I wanted to upgrade from a 1050Ti to a 3050. Why a 3050? Because it does not requires a 6-pin power supply.

Anyhow, goodbye 1050Ti, see you on LeBonCoin (If its not gone in a week, I'm just gonna give it away, alongside an old, but not used, PSU).

(PNY my beloved...)

Edit: Now, windows says a problem occured and does not want me ton imput my pin so I'm stuck LMAO.

The 2 packages situation

So I was hoping to receive Minas Tirith on Friday and the GWP on Monday.

It seems fate had other plans.

Anyhow, Grond went to Edoras and the Orcs to space.

(Awaiting Minas Tirith like i'm 11 on christmas eve)

Half of my lid felled in the Dewar

Tuesday morning.

Just want to scoop some liquid nitrogen to cool down my MCT Detector.

I hear a "thung". Half of the lid (the green "foamy" long part) felled in the dewar. Exit diamater and the greet part are almost identical.

I am screwed, ain't I?

Backplate to upgrade an AM4 OMEN

Hello everyone,
I have a 25L HP OMEN (HP 25L GT14-0107nf), I recently upgraded the 5600G to a 5500x3D.
I also wanted to upgrade he cooling (60C at idle is not looking good). I bought the Deepcool LE V2. Only issue is, the watercooling is not compatible with the Hana motherboard. I've bought the cheapest backplate on Amazon for AM4. It is not the right dimensions.
