    Ryzen Motherboard that supports DDR4 ECC

    Hi Pioruns, I love you. This'll work dandy for my replacement server, and now I don't have to slog through a couple of dozen message boards.

    How do you cool your 3900x?

    I'm using a Dark Rock Pro 4, with Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste - usually hovers around 36c. Hell of an upgrade from the 4690k, even without swapping the video card (had to run out of money some time... next cycle)

    -1 star rating for vendor (if I could)

    I'll second the plea of 'please don't do this, just state who they are.'

    AMD Previews 7nm Ryzen CPUs at CES

    Compelling argument... I hope this turns out as good as it looks, autumn is right around the time I was hoping to do a hardware refresh, and it's been far too long since I've built myself an AMD system.

    Fallout 76

    For myself, I tried. I was on the fence, and a friend had already pre-purchased, so I had the opportunity to give the game a try before buying my own copy - I'm really glad I did, because I didn't waste the money. My biggest issues: * The world is completely dead. Even in the later Fallout...

    Fallout 76 Has Built in Speed Hacks Because the Physics Engine Is Tied to Its Framerate

    Haha, some old games, etc. were tied to the frequency of the processor. It worked, except a faster system would speed up the game dramatically (of course, this was when single digit Mhz was common in a CPU). The turbo button on old PCs slowed things down for you (or sped them up, depending on...

    Rebuilt my 'client' HTPC

    I've used OpenELEC on Raspberry Pi boxes before, but I wanted something that could handle all formats. Plus, I do enjoy using the system with other, more 'PC' features (web browsing, etc.). Plus, I'm just more comfortable in Fedora. :) Yeah, it was more a 'let's see if this actually works'...

    Hand-held keyboard/touchpad recommendations

    I've used this one for a few years, works great: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Illuminated-Living-Room-Keyboard-Touchpad/dp/B00ZOPVSKW/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1S0R2KR13MY9VK5E5A4Z

    Rebuilt my 'client' HTPC

    Figured others may have similar circumstances, this may help those that want to know before they spend. My previous box was a full desktop (an old Antec nsk2480, i5 2400, 1050ti, 8GB, 6TB drive space with a 250GB SSD boot drive), that had been updated periodically. Initially it was both...

    For Canadians: $188 CAD Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB / $199 CAD for M.2 860 EVO (13 hours left)

    Thanks! I may have to pick one of these up for my son's system

    RTX 2070 vs RTX 2080 vs GTX 1080 Ti vs GTX 1070 @ [H]

    Not a really good analogy; the hardware is great, the price is just stupid. If that had been AMDs problem (if only it had), things would probably be quite different in the CPU space right now.

    The NCIX Data Breach

    Passwords, probably not so much, this piece though: Yeah, shitty.

    HDD burned

    Reminds me of plugging in AT power supply cables backwards.

    New house, wired cat6, new issues.

    Sure did, it was one of the last things I tried. I had nothing else really going on this coming weekend anyway, doing the router could be fun.
