    Struggling to play video games .

    Your problem is MGS V is the most overrated game of all time. It's just not fun. Get Dark Souls 2. It's a real game.

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    I went ahead and changed the RAM kit to 2 x 8. I thought not being quad channel would be a big deal but apparently not. I am definitely optimizing for low noise which is why I went with the R5 and the Noctua. I will take what I can get from OC. I am sure the system will be plenty powerful...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    I just went ahead and ordered this. I think it will suite my needs perfectly. Sorry about being difficult. I didn't really know exactly what I wanted. Let me know if there is anything glaringly wrong but I am pretty happy :).

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    My linux partition is going to have development VMs, Docker containers, and Android emulators running. I do all of my current dev work on a Macbook Pro with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB ram. I use about 12-14 GB ram regularly while running 2-3 Android AVDs and our backend Docker containers. I am...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    Sorry about being so fickle about the Xeon Hyper-v build vs mid range gaming build. In my ideal world I want the server that does everything. Quartz-T got me thinking splitting things up into different boxes though. While Hyper-v is fine for servers, I have always had some issue with...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    Yea you are right, I will just run some ethernet. X99-A it is. Is this a good 960? I assumed that I should go with the 4GB version instead of the 2GB version for 1600p. Are any of the Evga overclocked models a particularly good deal? Since I am going with a GTX 960 should I still get an...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    Thanks for the feedback. Is the Asus X99-Pro USB 3.1 the same thing as the X99-A but with wifi and bluetooth? I will probably just go with that instead. If I were to use Linux as the host OS what sort of graphics card would I need to run CS GO and SCII at 1600p? Could I get buy on a...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    Would this be a good board to pair with i7 5820k? Would it work fine with the Intel 750? From what I read it looks like all Asus boards support it. What exactly is the hyper card for though? Would any of the other Asus boards be worth looking at for a non over clocker? I really don't tinker...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    I suppose I don't need a Xeon. The i7 5820K will work with Hyper-V right? Do you have a motherboard recommendation for that chip that will also work with the Intel 750?

    Anyone have any ideas on nvme xeon x99 board that isn't $500? I think this Supermicro board could work but I can't find anything definitive.

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    400 GB should be enough for the immediate future. I could always just buy a second one later on and put them in Raid 0. I am not going to be running a ton of VMs. I will probably have a desktop linux that I use for development instead of Windows. For the dev I do the performance should...

    X99 Xeon Gaming Workstation Server Build

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I will game at 1600p. I also do numerous software related tasks. I will have ton of VMs and Docker containers running. I have a static IP and want to access things over the Internet so the box will need to run...

    Comcast's New Broadband Service Is Twice As Fast As Google Fiber

    I had a gigabit when I was in Seattle. It is kind of pointless to have Internet that fast because nothing feeds that fast. However, it was very comforting to know that every single network task was operating at the maximum possible speed. 250gb/s is more than enough imo though.
