Original, what a fabulous piece of electronic art. Congratulations!

This is a very freshly installed E5 2699 V4 Engineering Sample with 3.11 Beta BIOS (because it has turbo improvements) with a few of the usual performance measurers in play.

I have to say that I stopped using the CTRL-I option sometime ago and didn't really notice it went missing with the introduction of UEFI BIOS's. I have been using Intel's RAID version of Rapid Storage Technology for all my RAID configuring for a number of years. Have you tried this option?

Actually, it would be quite a lot. On normal server grade boards they only use server grade components that all have almost defacto VMWare support. By contrast our board has a host of unsupported consumer grade components. You can't expect ASRock to support and provide sever grade drivers for...

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this. Like many others, I found out the hard way that you have to spend a fistful of dollars for a high end nVidia board that will support pass through. Fortunately AMD is a lot more generous and I was able to get it working on an R9 360 without any...

Normally, I would agree with you. The trouble is that ASRock would have to pay for the pleasure of "certifying" this board and then need to take responsibility for all the non-server components that exist on this board which clearly they are unable to do. Personally I am just grateful that...

A quick update to say that my new SX500-LG arrived from PCCaseGear and has been running non-stop for the past three days. I am very pleased to say that it is as quiet as the proverbial mouse and exhibits none of the noises that have been documented throughout this thread. While I would be the...

Dear Tony, I think the trouble is that you spend so much time addressing known issues with your PSU's that your support staff take longer than they should to address legitimate new issues. I was MORE THAN HAPPY with my SX500-LG until it started making this very annoying tick tick sound...

Sorry everybody....I promise I will relax now. My first ever SFF build should have taken a week but it has now taken a month. I hope you all understand.

One more thing. If I receive another dud Silverstone product, please don't send me this "interesting" email that I replied to with a video clip of your fabulous PSU haemorrhaging under load OR I will publish the video clip as well. Dear Sir After check with our engineer team, they want to...

OK, I have just ordered a replacement from PCCaseGear. This one MUST work Tony or you will hear about it. This is the last chance that I am giving Silverstone. Have you read through the Silverstone threads on this forum? A PSU should be the easiest part of any build. This has been the hardest...

OK, here is the Verbatim log from MWAVE Mwave 17/02/2016 3:34:56 PM [Status Modified] - Updated Hi Christopher, Unfortunately that unit is EOL from our supplier. Silverstone SFX 80+ Gold 450W Modular Power Supply Silverstone SFX 600W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply May be other...

.....and just to add insult to injury....... Having returned my new SX500LG only 3 days ago because the fan started hitting the frame it was so out of balance, my supplier has just come back to me to say that Silverstone has declared EOL for the product here in Australia and there are no more...

As per my previous post, I have created a customized ESXi 6.0 build (VMKernel Release Build 3380124) for the X99E-itx/ac which includes support for both the I211-AT and I218V on-board NIC's, the NMVe M.2 slot, the EXSi Embedded Host Client and the latest Intel CPU microcode updates. For those...
