    Asus X99-E WS USB3.1 with 128 GB

    OK, I guess only Xeon CPUs support ECC. If a parity failure is detected it will fail on POST and show that the failed DIMM needs replacing,

    How does everyone archive data these days?

    I'm not convinced that writable optical media is likely to have a long life. AFAIK it is not designed for long term archival. When I first started taking digital photos I used CD-R backup and lost some due to the disc being no longer readable. Later i moved to using external HDDs like WD...

    Help with Corsair link

    With Corsair Link they have clearly gone for making it look flash, not working reliably. Stupid for a PSU manufacturer, especially one which prides its self as being one of the best. On my PC it now gives an unhandled exception when i start it up. It never saves the profiles properly and it...

This is the quality of the electrolytic caps that they use. My old Asus ran for a good few years but eventually failed to boot. Many...

    Suggestions for X99 Board

    Some differences I noticed between the X99 boards are the number of PCIe lanes they support, which also differs on the different CPUs. Once you go for an NVMe SSD it will use some (4?) of these. I founds this really confusing as it is not clear when you look at the board specs. I'm pretty...

    Asus X99-E WS USB3.1 with 128 GB

    On a related note, I would recommend using ECC DRAM on the X-99 boards. That's what I've put in my ASRock X-99WS. That would help with identifying and protecting against any failures on the DIMMs. The performance and cost overhead seems negligible. Still, I'm looking for some definitive...
