Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have 2, in the package, OCZ SSD drives. Was going to use it for a DB project but they are no longer needed as the project was cancelled.
So they were $2480.00 new and never been open.
I will take $1800.00 for each or $3000.00 for both...
Sure, I must say first though that the amount of knowledge that has been transpiring back and forth on this thread has been most educational to read and I thank all of you for it.
To address your question, I have currently about 12TB of media that I wish to transfer over, and as all media...
SnapRAID looks like a good fit for my files, now as for the hardware with the 3TB drives already in the mix what type of hardware would you recommend? As this will be delivering music to the whole house SONOS system and sending full TrueHD, 1080p to a theater room and up to 6 other bedrooms...
Looking to build a NAS with about 20TB usable in RAID 6. I am looking to spend about 3k give or take. What I would like to get from this forum is hardware options as well as software. This will be a central media server for the my house for music/movies/pictures, etc. It will all be running...
OK Update!!
After my H70 blew a connection and spewed all over my mother board I had to wait a few weeks for the RMA and replacements to arrive. I asked for a refund of the H70 and got an Antec 920 (much happier now).
So now the system is up and running very quietly.
I must say the...
I just installed a 920 on a new build with a 2600k. When I go into the BIOS on first boot I bring up the monitor tab and watch the temperatures rise slowly until I shut down around 36C the fans on the Kuhler are at 640 revs at the time.
My main thought is that maybe I have it mounted in the...
First, thanks for the input and education, it really made this an easier decision with no buyer remorse.
Second, I will be getting with everyone again in about 3 years to go through this exercise once more and to learn some more tidbits again.
Now the final build:
Corsair Obsidian Series...
Thanks for the replies, I did make some changes to the order as you will see below, but have not decided on the MB yet. As I am still looking at pro's and con's. Cost is a concern but not a major object as long as I get value for the dollar. I can get a really good deal on the ASUS Maximus IV...
As I will be ordering today, any other ideas on the Mother Board from any of the educated masses? I understand that the current board choice is pricy and not worth the extra money spent so I would defiantly entertain an alternative if anyone has one.
Thanks and have a good day.
Danny,
You bring up some great arguments and I thank you.
The teaming is important as I will use this Client to work with the Thecus 7700pro. In working with my media collection of which some files are up to 60GB is size I need all the BW I can get and was looking for a way to do that without...
Thanks for the input so far:
As for the 2 6970's they seem to drive better than a single 6990 and I will be running 3 U2410's so if I need more umph I will drop one 6970 (give it to my daughter) and put in a 6990 for Tri-fire.
The information on the SSD's is well taken, thanks!
Sapphire is...
OK after some great input and some research this is what I have now: I am open on everything still especially the H70 and the MB as they are what I am most unsure about.
Corair Obsidian Series 800D
Intel 510 Series (Elm Crest) SSDSC2MH120A2K5 2.5" 120GB SATA III
Seagate...
I have put off building a new system for 4 years now, so I am about to jump in with what you see below, any improvements or comments please let me know. As I only do this every 3 or 4 years after research and running it by the community.
SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV02B-EW
Intel 320 Series...
That is good to know as I made the mistake of getting Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ drives and my RAID 6 is sufferably slow and am going to rebuild using some drives that are made for RAID.
So I have been using the same system for 4 years now :p with small upgrades here or there with what was ever on sale, now it is time to get a whole new rig. Below you see what I spec'd out to handle another few years, any thoughts or changes would be welcome. I am debating between the 480 and...
I currently have a 4870 1Gb that run things ok but does stumble on some of the new stuff at bleeding edge settings at 1900x1200. I have a chance to get a EVGA FTW 285 2GB for $175 and was wondering if it would give me a noticeable improvement. I have a 6420 at 3.4Ghz with 4 GB ram on Win7...
Sounds good about the power, the reason I went with 2 is I have had power issues before and failures before and redundancy is always a good choice with me. As for the quality, it is not as high end on the efficiency but with split power issues I would not think that is as necessary. But I will...
Well, I am biting the bullet as my 3 year old Frankenstein PC is starting to fail and I am in need of a new highend pc for the long term. Looked around and decided on the configuration below: I know I can build my own but I have neither the time or time or time, did I mention time? So I know...
Thanks for your input ladies and gentlemen, but some people are not going back and reading the original post and just throwing in "2x280's are faster then 1x295, duh dude" That was not the question posed in the thread. For the rest of you that followed the original question, I thank you for...
I am building a new box and was wondering about getting one GTX295 or two GTX280's. I know the two 280's will give better performance for a $200 increase but I was also thinking of getting another 295 down the road but am not sure how the Quad SLI will scale.
I game at 1900x1200 maybe to...
Well I have tried everything now including new motherboard drivers to try and get this card to be recognized properly with no luck.
Any tips/ideas/guesses/wild thoughts would be great.
Thanks
