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 a Thermalright HR-03 GT that might work. It only works for the die itself and you would need some small heatsinks for the VRAM and VRMs. It's old, but quite effective. I remember it fit a GTX 480 and IIRC the mounting holes are the same. I was planning on using it on my 1080 if I...
I just checked and I've got a x5650 and two x5660s. The only difference is the 20 vs 21 multiplier. Choose what you want, it will mostly depend on your motherboard and how the FSB overclocks.
LGA 1366 CPU or CPU / Mobo combo? I've got a Supermicro dual hex core Xeon board and a HP Z400 board with a hex core Xeon (uses a special PSU, which I also have). I also have a few low end 1366 Xeons.
I think I may have one for you. I just threw away all my old 2.5" IDE drives, but I have something better. Compact Flash is just IDE with a different connector. I have a 32 GB CF drive with a cf2g or a cf5h adapter, your choice. I used to use this in an old laptop and it was faster than the...
Cleaning out the workspace:
Motherboards:
1. Top left
Generic HP mATX (extended) mobo with an Athlon II X2 260. No RAM, only 2 PCI-e x1 slots, but takes DDR3. I may have the backplate.
2. Top right
ASROCK NF6P-VSTA. mATX Athlon X2 4850e. 2 x 2 GB DDR2
3. Bottom right
Biostar TF8200 A2+ ATX...
Saturday is probably better. I've got some errands to run between 2 and 4 and I've got to be at church around 4:30. I can arrange my errands around your arrival. I'm leaving on a business trip early Sunday afternoon, so Saturday works best. Address:

I'm also throwing in a new Inland 120 GB SSD for a boot drive. I've got 3 750 GB drives and 3 x 1 GB drives in the 710. I'm tempted to take them out since most of their brethren have died.
The R710 has both a PERC 6i and 6e controller. Both only support up to 2 TB disks. The internal one can't be easily changed due to the specialized cables used. The 6/e can be easily replaced, but the MD1000 uses older style cable connectors. You'll need an 8470 to 8087 SAS cable if you get a...
I run TrueNAS in my homelab. You have to add a Windows VM in TrueNAS (Backblaze only supports Mac or Windows) and assign all the TruNAS drives to Windows and SMB share them across the network. An extra step, but it works and everything gets backed up.
The MD100 has 10 of 14 trays, the R710 has all 6 trays. I should have the other 4 trays somewhere, I'll look in a bit. What OS do you want? Need any other computers or DDR3?
Dell R710 2u server. Dual Xeon x5675 IIRC. Optical drive replaced with 2.5" holder, no RAM, but DDR3 is practically free nowadays.
Also have a MD1000 drive array.
Local pickup in the 20147 area.
I've got one of these:

It's a Frankenstein mobo/cpu combo using a mobile CPU. It was a huge upgrade from my 4670. Lots of videos on youtube about this board...
I couldn't find anything I loved but I needed a new case, so I found a new NZXT H7 Flow at Microcenter for $60 on closeout. It's not perfect, and it's really plain, but it's practical and has good airflow and was inexpensive.
That's just canola oil. Any organic oil will oxidize over time, reducing effectiveness. Nearly all thermal pastes are just silicone oils with various sized metallic particles suspended in them to increase thermal conductivity. Particle size, material, and density are the only real differences.
