    Threadripper and Windows 7

    Glad to have tested these. The ones that google search shows didn't match these KBs. So far after a half dozen reboots, that "unsupported hardware" does NOT appear. At this point, I will no longer do any updates since I know one of those two is the problem. I am staying away from these 4...

    Threadripper and Windows 7

    So on most of my previous installs, I did all the KBs, and never kept track of which one caused the unsupported hardware error. And when uninstalling them, the unsupported hardware error remained. So I did NOT do these two updates below, which could be the culprits, but it's too early to tell...

    Threadripper and Windows 7

    I've installed Windows 7 on the MSI Carbon X399, Samsung NVMe 960 M.2 (PCIe), and everything works exactly as it's supposed to. Have had this setup for months now (since late August), along with Windows 10 and macOS Sierra (more recently). All solid, including prime95 torture. Only minor issues...

    GTX 690 $999 @ newegg

    I happen to get one card per day from EVGA directly. Got 2 already and could have had one per day if they didn't have a household limit. Make sure you set up your account way in advance, and refresh page quickly. And type as fast as hell. Reading credit card from eyes to brain to keyboard must...

    CUDA-Z GTX 690

    I assume CUDA-Z is not designed to check the 690 cards yet? This is my CUDA-Z report for core information: CUDA-Z Report ============= Version: 0.5.95 http://cuda-z.sourceforge.net/ OS Version: Windows AMD64 6.1.7600 Core Information ---------------- Name: GeForce GTX 690...

    Anyone else think that Video Card Prices are out of Control!?!

    Got an email from EVGA. 5:59PM today, saying the 690 is ready and can be ordered now. So I looked up "now" in the dictionary to find the meaning. It defines now as this: "at the present time or moment" At 6:01, sold out. I guess 2 minutes wasn't now enough. haha

    Crosshairs, I guess that sets the precedent most of the time. Still, crazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm tempted, but logic kicks in. There will probably be shortages for a long time.

    Anyone else think that Video Card Prices are out of Control!?!

    690's are going for $1750-$2500 on ebay (that's what they're asking, obviously not selling). Found a few local from craigslist for $1600. Still, seems ridiculous to pay that much.

    CPU throttle monitoring app ?

    Awesome. That Throttle Stop was cool. Had a benchmark setting where we can enter the threads too so you can see it peak. Got the answer I was looking for. Basically all 16 cores burst to 3300MHz at the max, and stay there. Temps were in line too, so it could sustain that. Thanks.

    CPU throttle monitoring app ?

    Found an app called RealTemp v 3.70. It shows that the 2900 MHz CPU's maxing out at 3300-3520 during the tests. Idle at 2300MHz. Any other apps which show each core?

    CPU throttle monitoring app ?

    I have a dual E5-2690 (16 cores/32 threads) setup on a Supermicro X9DAi and we're trying to see if the CPU throttling is bursting properly. Testing is being done with Windows 7 64bit. Are there any apps for that can show the actual speeds that are running? This would be great during a test to...

    Desktops to VM's

    terisk, thanks. I'll stick with ESXi since I'm comfortable with it. funny, I always try to help everyone out, but there's something about office neighbors which gives them a free ticket to ask for 24/7 tech support.

    Desktops to VM's

    they just do architecture CAD, so nothing video intensive. No 3D renderings or anything.

    Desktops to VM's

    Some are CAD workstations, so I wanted to make sure the graphics can handle 1920x1200 at least.
