    LG UltraWide 40WP95C-W 39.7" 21:9 Curved FreeSync 5K2K (5120 x 2160) HDR IPS @ 72 Hz

    I was able to successfully perform the camera skipping test on mine with no issues for 72Hz using USB-C from X670 mobo (fed from dgpu). This monitor paired with Ryzen 7950X3D and EKWB 6900 XT (XTX version) is a very nice experience. Once you fix the gpu driver downclocking bugs and get the GPU...

    Convert NVME drive with B+M key to USB3?

    Patriot Scorch NVME drives run fine in actual NVME PCI to USB 3.1 enclosures. That extra notch (because they are only 2x lanes) aren't an issue. In fact the dual lane scortch drives pair better with the enclosures as on faster quad lane drives you lose the extra speed on the enclosure so they...

    Anyone has info about Seagate 8TB ST8000NM0105

    I own 8 of the seagate 4TB drives in RAID5 setups. 5 of the normal NAS variety (ST4000VN000) (designed for 24/7 but run lower power) and 3 more are the higher performance more enterprise focus models (must have airflow). (ST4000NM0033) No issues with any of the drives. I have had 3 of them for 5...

    Silicon Power 1TB SP001TBP34A80M28

    I've been very past the past few days but I got my PLEX card modded up with a nice fan and have started making benchmarks, including RAID0. Here is just a bench on single drive. (1 drive bench) Also I saw that right now the drives are even cheaper on Amazon than before. I just bought 2 more...

    Silicon Power 1TB SP001TBP34A80M28

    I just ordered 2 of these and will be plugging them into a supermicro AOC-SHG3-4M2P for some RAID testing on AM4. Might have some benchmarks this weekend. Might get 2 more once I verify the PLEX is stable. (got hot on first initial testing)

    Displayport cables must not use pin 20 (warning)

    I disassembled a mono-price cable back in 2012 and pin 20 was not connected on both ends. Their cables are perfectly safe to use and I have tested many different ones they make and they all worked.

    Super-thin monitor?

    Well these kits are plug and play, just order the correct laptop lcd, order the controller board with the right lcd program, then just plug the connections in: 1 or 2 plugs go into the LCD a 12 volt power supply goes into the board (or solder on a molex plug and connect it to a PC power supply)...

    Super-thin monitor?

    Would a laptop display with a controller board plugged in count? Modern laptop 15-18 inch displays are about 1/4" thick and an LCD controller board is about 1/2" thick. I am currently working on getting some 17" inch WUXGA LED laptop screens working on a RM5451 like you can get for cheap on...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Your wasting your time trying to OC on these boards, especially with a quad core. Not to mention RAM is too expensive on these. You should grab Zotac's newer Z68 board (the one for overclocking), a 2500k, and 8 GB DDR3 RAM. On these ITX 9300 boards you can probably only take say a 3 GHz quad up...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Check the back of the motherboard. It will have a number on that back that identifies which PCB version. There was the old initial version, the new G version with dual link DVI, an overclocked version with a black heatsink (laptop version of the northbridge chip?), and a version with DDR3 memory...

    mITX build. Need some advice.

    I would recommend the Zotac board after having just set one up. It has display port which might come in handy, USB 3 header. The BIOS is pretty nice. The wifi worked just fine for me. It might not be super duper fast but you can always upgrade to any half or full size laptop wifi card. You could...

    Zotac H67 ITX Build

    I have updated the topic now that I got everything running and did some tests. I hope you guys find this information useful. The VRM stuff stays within reasonable temps using the intel cooler. (I think it shows up in hardware monitor in the 60C range) There are 3 options for GPU overclocking, a...

    Zotac H67 ITX Build

    Here the results of running Linpack with my 8 GB DDR3 1333 CAS7 kit from Gskill. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231440) I downloaded the updated linpack from Intel that uses AVX. This is with the stock Intel cooler.

    Zotac H67 ITX Build

    Edit: So basically after enough testing I figured a few things out. You need to install Windows 7 from a DVD (not USB) and you need to set the BIOS to IDE or AHCI mode (AHCI preferred). You also need a working DVD or blu ray drive, or you might get weird errors. ;) Before you install Windows you...

    Yorkfield mini-ITX overclocker

    I will probably get a Sandy bridge ITX in the future with a good P67 or Z68 board. Something like that Zotac H67 that could handle 130 watt TDP and OCing would be nice. Maybe someday I will finish this home made laptop project with Sandy Bridge...
