Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Okay, so i've got a few of these boxes. So far i've only put win2k8+hyper-v on them.
I now have a requirement to build a small backup/archiving NAS. I've got
HP Micro Server N36L
8gb RAM
4x2tb WD SATA HDD
8gb usb flash for boot
I was considering Nexentastor CE, but the CPU...
Zepher- Thanks for pointing me towards the adapters. I've never used DisplayPort before so wasn't sure what's possible.
I suppose I could try and use the HD5670 as upon further inspection it does support three monitors with it's DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI ports.
Just for reference, this is...
Hi all,
I'm having some difficulty finding the right card for my application so perhaps you guys could help me out.
I'm looking to build a new box with an Intel 2600K CPU and Intel DP67BG motherboard. As the motherboard only has two PCI-E slots larger than x1 size, and the fact I intend on...
Because it's potentially wasted energy.. efficiency varies depending on load and every PSU has a 'sweet spot' of high efficiency.. so ideally you'd match your typical usage pattern to the sweet spot, if possible. I'm not super fussed about this though.
Yeah that's the thing. I was looking at the Silverstone Zeus which can do 50 amps on a single 12v rail, which may be ideal for this purpose. As far as wiring goes, i'll most likely make up my own wiring harness that is custom-fit for the application.
Easy guys, try not to get too off-track on this thread please :)
What is relevant is my requirements. Somehow I don't think a 300W PSU is going to be happy spinning up 20 HDD's at the same time (assuming approx. 1.5A/drive peak). Looks like I need to factor in at least 30 amp on the 12v rail...
Thanks for that, seems a possible option. It has the 8 pin CPU connector which is one thing I will need (i'd rather not use adapters/splitters etc for this).
Hi all
I'm about to build a new file server and would appreciate some suggestions with regards to PSU choice.
The server may end up with as many as 20 SATA HD's installed, which unfortunately will not feature staggered spin-up. I assume this will tax the 12v rail the most at switch-on...
Hi all,
I have just built out my new computer. It's got an Asus P5E motherboard and two Sapphire HD3470 video cards (i'm not a huge gamer). I am running three 19" TFT's.
I was under the impression when I chose this spec (although I can't remember where I got the idea from now) that I could...
Hi all,
I'm trying to spec/buy my new workstation but am not too hot on the current ATI cards out there. Here's the spec so far :-
Intel DX38BT Motherboard
Intel Q9300 CPU
<4GB some ddr3 ram here>
Now the problem is I have three 19" LCD monitors. From what I understand, Crossfire is...
