Did have two servers with DigitalOcean (absolutely loved them) but then got invited into Scaleway. Now got two servers with them, 1 running a dedicated TeamSpeak server for gaming friends and the other a seedhost. Can't complain for €8 a month for both boxes. Perfect uptime and great latency to...

Finally got this working! Unfortunately had to drop back to ESXi 5.5u3 but at least the damn thing works and gives me everything that I need including FLING :) Shame that I can't get it working with 6 though :(

I've been speaking to a user on ServeTheHome's forums, xienze, who gave me a good idea on how to check whether it's the PCIe reset that's causing the problem. VM with passthrough "freezes" entire ESXi box when shutdown/rebooting guest Unfortunately it didn't work for me, as the box hung even...

Thanks RyC, I'll give that a shot as it could be the audio causing an issue but I kinda need that as well :( I'm also going to try reverting back to 6.0GA to see if it's a Update2 issue; if not, back down to 5.5 which seems to work without issue Just spoken to a colleague about this who's doing...

Cheers rtangwai. Already tried that and it's looking like the graphics card that I'm trying to passthrough. Think I'll invest in another from eBay to see if that's the fault or not

Hi all, VERY strange issue that I've come across and can't seem to get my head around this .. so far I've tried diagnosing this for nearly 12 hours straight without being able to get to the bottom of it. I'm running ESXi 6.0u2 build 3620759 (free license), on a custom build Asus P9x79 PRO...

Hi, Can you tell me where you got the picture of the Excellsior background? Really loving that :) :) :) Cheers

Shame these aren't in the UK as it's caught my interest on making my OPNSense box even smaller :(

EK I've heard some horror stuff about like cheap plating etc :( Re water, I'm going for Mayhems Pre-Mix X1 clear as it gets pretty good reviews, lots of people use it and also there is a Mayhems rep on another forum that I read (OCUK).

Can only find the silver ones in stock in the UK but they're on the list :)

Hehe, gotta be all about the bling especially since there are hardly any lights inside the machine :) So duly added :) List looks a lot better than being overrun with Koolance stuff especially some of the horrors I'm reading! :o

Good with me :) Final spec which I think should work and give me a nice cool running system.... 1x Alphacool Repack - Dual Laing D5 Station inkl. 1x Alphacool VPP655 1x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 180mm 1x Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 120mm 1x Alphacool NexXxoS XP³ Light - Acetal...

Thanks magoo! It's literally just clicked in my head after I rechecked the tube sizes :) Tube size is 3/8-5/8 so I've chosen the appropriate fittings from XSPC. I think 3/8-5/8 is going to be better than 3/8-1/2 giving me a better flow. I don't have my heart set on QD's, more only having 1 set...

Changed the spec to be a single Alphacool pump on a bay res and changed the blocks to Alphacool as well With the changed piping to Masterkleer tubing PVC 16/10mm (3/8ID) Clear, will the existing compression fittings still work? That's the bit that's confusing me mostly at the moment :( So far I...

Thanks for all the replies :) Nah don't have a thing for Koolance particularly. I did go back through and removed a lot of the stuff to be other makes, such as EK, as the products looked a lot better. The only area where I'm struggling is the bay res with dual pumps. The Koolance one is good...
