    Seeking input on adding a 16 port Sata expansion card

    Thanks guys! This was helpful. I was thinking of using it to add hard drives for storage as my older hard drives fill up. In all honestly, I don't need 20 hard drives in a PC but thought it would be a way to future proof and just keep adding hard drives. I'm on the fence of whether its worth...

    Seeking input on adding a 16 port Sata expansion card

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but based on the description the card supports 6Gbps transfer speeds. Where are you getting 500MB/s? Is it because the limited bandwidth from the PCI lane? With my two GTX 670s installed I believe I would be using 32 (16x2) out of the available 38 lanes on my...

    AI Accelerator Cards in Desktops?

    I may be overly cynical but I think AI will displace alot of white collar jobs just like automation displaced alot of blue collar jobs. Homelessness, mental health and drug use will increase as a result. I saw this happen to my home town which was traditionally blue collar town. Now there's a...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    My current work phone is an iPhone and I've used iPhones since iPhone 6 cause of work... The more I used it the more I'm open to the idea of if becoming my primary phone... Pretty disappointed in Samsung phones lately and I don't really see any other good options. Camera quality is especially...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    I'm feel exactly the same as you... My Note 20 Ultra still works flawlessly and love have the option of adding storage via SD card. I don't see any flagship phones using SD cards these days and I've been using only Galaxy phones since the S3. My screen is starting to show signs though as there...

    New Mass Effect Game

    Fingers crossed they pull a rabbit out of the hat and make a good Mass Effect game. No game has come close to the original trilogy for me. Never been so immersed in a game... Anyone remember this amazing ME3 themed PC back in the day...

    AI Accelerator Cards in Desktops?

    Based on recent developments and Microsoft's move to integrate AI into Windows it looks like in the near future we will have AI Accelerator Cards in our PCs or not, who knows. Maybe Nvidia will just buy up these startups and integrate this into their GPUs. What do you guys think of this...

    Scary Games thread

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dead Space... I haven't played the remake but the original Dead Space had great sound effects, some good jump scares and tense moments.

    Those would have been pretty high end systems for its time... I'm sure it was a great space heater too!

    The Post Your Old/Retro Builds Thread

    I stopped overclocking as well. I had overclocked my FX-8350 and 6700K for several years w/ after market cooling. I even P95 tested the overclock for hours to ensure it was stable but after so many years they became unstable and now they run at stock. I had an older FX-8350 which died on me...

    The Post Your Old/Retro Builds Thread

    If I recall correctly, I overclocked both 470s in SLI (with stock cooling) by around 130MHz... One of the 470s died when I was playing Far Cry 3. I remember the fans were running super loud so I had to turn the volume up on the game and had a feeling the cards were being pushed a bit too...
