Yeah I've contacted Galaxy, Zotac, and Nvidia to either send me the screws or tell me what size they are and so far they haven't been too useful, although Galaxy did have a look in their shop to see if they had anything and said they would be willing to send if they did (but they don't). From...

I need the 15 torx screws and 4 springy gpu screws for a stock gtx 580/480 heatsink. Please help me out.

Bump How about a dead 580 with a working cooler? Also doesn't necessarily have to be reference, just dual slot.

Anyone have a working GTX580 reference cooler (Just the cooler not the card) lying around that you want to get rid of? I am looking for two, but will take one if that's all you have. http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=75650

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS I could be wrong, but the way this is worded implies otherwise: "Likewise, a zpool consists of one or more vdevs. Each vdev can be viewed as a group of hard disks (or partitions, or files, etc.). Each vdev should have redundancy, because if a vdev is lost, then...

I know nothing about Xen or why you could not do a PCI-E passthrough with your hardware using ESX, but with regards to the actual software RAID itself: ZFS is straight up the way to go for a modern software RAID that rivals hardware controllers in performance and reliability. The only downside...

I am assuming what you mean by "Bypass an OS" is to use VMWare ESXi (Which is itself an OS by the way) instead of Windows 2012? Server 2012, and 2008 R2, etc uses Hyper-V as it's virtualization hypervisor. It is comparable in performance and features to VMWare ESX. Hyper-V runs at the hardware...

Setting the static IP on ESX host as well as client PC did the trick, so thanks for that. For some reason I wasn't sure whether routing would function without the router even with a static IP. It seems obvious now, you'd think I'de know these things given my line of work but eh, learn something...

This makes sense, I will have a look when I get some more time to dive into it, thank you fine sir.

Hey Everyone, Let me preface this by saying I am by no means a networking or ESX expert and this is not a production environment just a home setup. I am slowly attempting to virtualize as many services (file/web serving, etc) as possible for the purpose of power consumption and just to see if I...

Fixed! Just in case someone else runs into this problem, the solution was to reset the amp by holding down the "S. Speaker B", "ATT", and "EXIT" buttons for three seconds. Somehow this was not documented in the manual, I found it in some dusty old forum. Amp is back to working perfectly again...

No it's just sitting on a shelf, it has plenty of ventilation if that's what you're wondering.
