    How much RAM you got?

    Desktop - 32GB Laptop - 32GB FreeBSD server - 32GB (max supported, wish it were more) TrueNAS server - 128GB Old Supermicro x8 test system (not active ATM) 64GB pfSense box - 8GB Arc hits are at 97% on the FreeBSD machine so I'll run it until it doesn't meet my needs anymore but I do wish it...

    Laptop suggestions

    Sorry, forgot to give an update on this. Ended up going with a HP Pro Book H11 from amazon. So far I'm pretty happy with it. I really wanted something with a better display but the only way I could seem to do that was to purchase a very expensive laptop. In the end I'm happy with this one as is...

    Laptop suggestions

    Looking to get a new laptop. Mostly it will be used for getting online while away from home and/or playing movies occasionally. I don't need a powerhouse for gaming but want something reasonably performant. Also what's most important is the display. I want a good quality display. My last laptop...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    Dan used to motherboard reviews for H back in the day before Kyle moved on to Intel and shut down the news site. To say he was an invaluable resource is an understatement.

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    It is unusual that the first board wouldn't power up at all but the second one did and ran for 3 hours before it died. That's why I was stuck in bad motherboard mode with blinders on. And I'm very aware of your motherboard reviews and can't thank you enough for them. They were a buyers guide...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    This is one that definitely had me so frustrated that I couldn't think straight and had to take a step back from. I got up this morning and decided to test the PSU as suggested here. I'm glad I did. Thanks all for the replies. I may not post much but I've been around here long enough I knew...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    So I did some more testing this morning. Turns out it's a dead power supply. It's got 4.95v on the 5 volt rail but no power on the 3.3v and 12v rails. That's would likely explain why the RGB lights up on the motherboard but nothing else works. New one should be here Monday. philb2 thanks for...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    No extra standoffs and I took everything out of the case and bench tested just in case that may be the issue. No dice.

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    Ok it's been a bit since I built my last rig, over 8 years to be exact. So decided to build me something nice this time around and splurged a bit on the build. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor ($376.80 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU...

    eBay asking users for their Social Security numbers ahead of rule change by IRS

    I'm in the same boat. Only use ebay as a LAST resort to sell anything. As such I've got a pile of parts sitting around that I really should get rid of and I haven't sold anything in a looooong time. If it weren't for this place I wouldn't even know heatware existed and I haven't sold anything...
