    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    These things are so hard to explain without pictures. What I have is keyed also, but they are designed to be backwards compatible with 4-pin connectors. All the ones which don't line up are D shaped on the cable and square on the motherboard. A D shaped pin will go into a square shaped hole...

    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    I think that's where we got confused. It's not actually a server board. It's still ATX standard. Thanks for the help anyway! Thank you. I found another site explaining the 4+4 pin connector which also confirmed my belief. The shapes not matching up threw me for a loop. The +12V and grounds all...

    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    I looked at the Seasonic 860. It lists 1 x EPS12V / ATX12V 4+4 Pin Connector. Are they used interchangably? The motherboard never actually refers to anything as EPS12V, only ATX_12V_1 and ATX_12V_2. Here's the manual...

    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    Just to clarify what your saying and apply it to my situation. The motherboard has an 8-pin EPS connector, but it can be powered safely using a 4+4 cable, correct? Since the V1000 has outputs for two 4+4 cables, I would use all the pins of one cable (4+4) to plug into the 8-pin connector. Then...

    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    Wait.. I think I answered it. Comparing the wiring diagram in the manual to the PSU, it's the same (all top pins are +12v and all bottom pins are ground) despite the different shapes. Although the pin shapes are different, it's always a D-shaped pin going into a square-shaped hole so it will...

    x399 Designare Ex Power Connection

    I'm not if I should post this in the power supply section or the motherboard section. Mods, please move this if I chose wrong. I'm finally upgrading my PC and have been out of the loop for quite a while. When you look at the specs for the motherboard (Gigabyte x399 Designare Ex), it has the...

    Super Talent DDR4-3200 16GB $54.90

    I was just about to post the spec sheet, but THUMPer beat me to it. It's dual rank (16gb per stick) DDR4 according to the spec sheet. If the deal is real, it's amazing. From the little research I did, you'd have to open a neweggbusiness account. You could open one as a sole proprietor using your...

    Super Talent DDR4-3200 16GB $54.90

    Anyone want to shed some light on neweggbusiness? Are all of us without businesses just out of luck? That is a ridiculously low price!

    Titanfall 2 (PC Digital Download) $4.99 or Mirror's Edge Catalyst (PC Digital Download) $4.99 & More

    I still stand by my original "worth it" for $7.50. Those DLCs (especially From Ashes) are nice, but EA has been milking the DLC for the original Mass Effect series. I don't think you're likely to see all the DLC bundled any time soon. $7.50 is like one meal at McDonalds. Worth it for how much...

    Titanfall 2 (PC Digital Download) $4.99 or Mirror's Edge Catalyst (PC Digital Download) $4.99 & More

    For $7.49, absolutely buy the Mass Effect Trilogy. The third game's ending upset quite a few people, but ultimately it was a great series. It's one of my favorites. (You can probably skip Andromeda though. It's the first of a new series and has more or less been abandoned for the foreseeable...

    Threadripper 1950x RAM Benchmarks - Frequency vs Timing

    The 3600c18 is SR b-die also according to some posts I've seen on reddit. Ignore the different models and just look at the timing for a second. Let's say I'm able to get the same b-die set to run at 3600c18 and 3200c14. How much does the infinity fabric benefits at higher frequency? 3600 @ 18...

    Threadripper 1950x RAM Benchmarks - Frequency vs Timing

    I've checked the VQL so I know I can get those speeds with the RAM I want to buy. I'm just not sure about overall performance at faster frequency and slower timings. You're suggesting changing to a 16gbx2 configuration. I thought that would slow performance (assuming same frequency and...

    Threadripper 1950x RAM Benchmarks - Frequency vs Timing

    I've tried looking for benchmarks comparing RAM frequency with CPU performance for the Threadripper 1950X, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm looking to install 8gb in Quad Channel (32gb total) of 1Rx8 SS RAM. I know that the Threadripper performance increases with RAM frequency...

    512GB PM951 m.2 NVMe SSD $99 shipped ebay BIN

    With Ebay being so buyer centric, those who bought this should have no problem getting their money back if it'a DOA. For $200 savings, I'll take the gamble of life expectancy. It's not a huge deal to me since I automate backups regularly.
