    WTB: xG40 Seasonic PCIe cable

    I have a Seasonic Focus Plus I am looking to get a PCIe power cable for. It can be 6+2. 8, 2x6+2, doesn't matter. Only requirement is that the cable is of the xG40 family. Only ones I have been able to find so far are ones like the common RG34. Seasonic's compatibility chart specifically...

    **FOUND** WTB: EK Supremacy EVO LGA-1366 backplate

    Yup! Exactly that! What do you want for them, shipped? I only need the one on the left but I'll take it all if you want to get rid of it as a group.

    **FOUND** WTB: EK Supremacy EVO LGA-1366 backplate

    I'm in need of EK's LGA-1366 backplate for a Supremacy EVO. They don't stock them anymore and I've been unable to locate one loose.

    How long have you used your power supply?

    I ran a SeaSonic X750 unit for about 7.5 years before something broke and it died on me. Before that I tended to only keep power supplies for the build I bought them for because I was usually not buying top shelf ones due to budget limits. Now I tend to buy power supplies with the goal of using...

    Any matx X570 board?

    I wouldn't say it's anywhere abandoned. mATX still gets a whole lot of love, but just not on the high end with a few exceptions. There are mATX threadripper boards after all. I would say that generally the market for mATX boards trends towards value side of the equation. I've used a couple...

    Tesla Model Y Production Starts November 2019

    They think assembly automation is going to be their savior but I think they are still struggling on the normal car company stuff. As far as I can tell, they have 2 years to figure it out. Almost everyone is bringing out their big guns in 2020, so if Tesla can't compete by then in quality...

    Locked at 40x multi with i7-6700k and Maximus VIII Hero?

    I'm working on overclocking a new build but for some reason I seem to be locked at a 40x multiplier. I've disabled (at least so I think) all speedstep and any power reduction features. TPU is set to "Keep Current Settings" and CPU core ratio is set to "Sync All Cores" followed by a ratio limit...

    Fox Uses Aereo’s Ruling to Attack Dish's Mobile Streaming Service

    It just isn't. I don't know where all this SCOTUS cloud paranoia is coming from. What Aereo did wasn't just storing recordings. They acted as the provider for the TV signals. That's the difference. When you use OneDrive, or DropBox, or even a TV focused cloud storage company YOU are providing...

    HOT: Lenovo y410p 779.99

    This is the normal price. It's been at this price for months. In fact, I think it was actually available cheaper during the end of the back to school buying rush.

    Scientist Banned From Revealing Codes To Start Luxury Cars

    If one guy can find it out, so can another. He should publish them. May sound terrible but I have a feeling the auto makers have known about the problem for awhile and have been slow to come up with a real solution.

    8 GB Vs. 16 GB Gaming Rig

    I would shoot for a 2x8GB setup for 16GB total. It gives you more room for future games. Right now games with top end graphics recommend 8GB already.

    Nook Sales Extended!

    Just FYI for anyone that doesn't already know... B&N is rumored to be shutting down their Nook division (as far as devices go). That would be why they are cutting the prices the way they are -- they're trying to clear out their stock.

    PSA: Avoid /Buy.com due to creditcard fraud

    Sounds like what happened at Monoprice. Monoprice said they never were compromised but I was one of the people who had a fraudulent charge only a few days after placing an order at Monoprice. The sad thing is, it works kind of like "innocent until proven guilty". Where I work we had received...

    Stay with old(ish) PCP&C psu or something new?

    Really well built power supplies can last a long time without having any problems. Unless you are inclined to go for better efficiency and get an 80+ gold or 80+ platinum power supply don't worry about not replacing it.

    Seagate 4TB Vs WD 3TB Red (can't decide)

    Just go for the space with the 4TB drives. Both use 1TB platters, both are 5400RPM and both have 64MB cache. Speed is probably going to be pretty similar between the two if not faster on the 4TB drives. Everyone has horror stories about every HD manufacturer and as far as the drives mentioned I...

    DirectPath on ESXi 5.1 not saving USB adapters

    I think I've found the issue... me passing my video card through is giving me that stuck-on-cnic_register problem. I think it's basically causing ESXi to never really finish loading and therefore never loading the USB passthrough.

    DirectPath on ESXi 5.1 not saving USB adapters

    I need to be able to attach USB devices to certain hosts like printers and USB storage. When I first added them and rebooted the server it saved and I was able to add a thumb drive to a host to install an OS. At some point it seems that config vanished. Now when I try to add my USB adapters to...
