    Odd PSU issues

    So i think i figured it out, I ran memtest86 and a bunch of errors with a set of Duel channel ram. Too bad i already bought a power supply, i'll have to return but Im 90% sure my ram is messed up. Which causes crashes and if messed up enough can cause a system to not boot.

    Odd PSU issues

    I gave the other PSU a try but i only made sure it spun up a few time, i should give it a longer term test. Also yeah the 965 is a beast, im turning it into a dev box though for side projects mostly cause i like to have a dedicated linux box for developing on. Hopefully get some more cash to...

    Odd PSU issues

    Its a Corsair TX750 and no I have not done any overclocking or unlocking yet. Also checked for Capacitators on the mobo and they looks good and im pretty sure the MOBO should handle it, its been awhile but Im pretty sure they are compatiable. Another thing that makes me think they are...

    Odd PSU issues

    I'm not at home right now, i'll throw the specs up in a little. Its a Corsair 750w but its about 4 almost 5 years old. To me it seems like the capacitors might not be holding on to a charge but i know next to nothing when it comes to electrical engineering

    Odd PSU issues

    I have an older PhenomII x965 on 939 socket and for awhile I noticed the computer would keep shutting off. So my initial thought was heat, now for awhile I had speedfan running and noticed it got hot. So I got a new cooler added some arctic silver, this brought down the temps but it continues to...

    Home Server Build with Plex Transcoding

    I did a simliar build, although I used the guts from a TS140 lenovo server because it was on sale for $270 but it came with a i3-4130, 4gb of ECC ram, onboard video, I ended up adding another 4gb of ECC ram and 3x3tb Harddrives and installed freebsd. The setup can be upgraded to a xeon...

    PHP/CSS Question

    Your CSS issue is how CSS is supposed to work, Its "Cascading". When constructing styling you should try to be as general as possible and move to be more specific. Feel free to create your own classes. Also in PHP 1. "=" is assignment 2. "==" Check equality 3. "===" Checks equality and...

    New storage server build recommendations

    If you want just a file server then you dont even need an i3. You can run a plain file server with little ARM proc like some NAS's do and you'll get alot more features. Only reason I got the i3 was to handle transcoding on the fly. Xeon would just be throwing money away.... and if you really...

    New storage server build recommendations

    I have the i3-4130 and its great for my usage, also i picked mine up for $270 but i've seen them go as low as $230 with some deal hunting. Only reason I would go with the Xeon is if you're streaming like 4-6 Videos Transcoding or something or trying to do hardware passthru on a baremetal...

    New storage server build recommendations

    Hey man I figured i'd drop my two cents, since recently was in the same boat. Anyways I picked up a Lenovo TS140 slapped a Samsung Evo in it because it was a cheapiest option(didnt buy HDD's Yet still tinkering). But i figure i'd throw out some pros/cons so you can make and educated guess...

    What's your personal programming workflow? How do you plan/plot/track?

    If you're talking about a personal project on your free time I'd just use pencil and paper or a whiteboard. But it depends on if its for a client or work, but for home just let that shit flow all over a piece of paper. Getting caught up in the details is something you just gotta stop doing...

    How Heartbleed Broke the Internet - And Why It Can Happen Again

    that means nothing, its still up to the implementer to choose the language, design program, and implement it. They just did it wrongand im pretty sure you just proved my point. see(http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/analysis-of-openssl-freelist-reuse) "This bug would have been utterly trivial...

    How Heartbleed Broke the Internet - And Why It Can Happen Again

    How can you blame it on the language its just a tool. Its the implementation that matters much like the saying "guns dont kill people, people kill people" and the reason for using C is because you have far greater control of the memory itself and often times people can do amazing things with...

    Smart TV or streaming box?

    I think alot of samsung TV's have plex clients built into the smart TV, but anyways I would probably just add plex or serviio to your NAS and get a smart TV. New TV's now have all the apps you're get with any box. BTW I ran the Serviio to a Samsung TV and it does work well but i use plex now...

    Your NAS is a computer, but depending on the type you can probably find a plugin for the NAS software for plex

    HTPC, or Home Server..? Both? I'm Confused...

    If he wants to make sure that its always compatable then transcoding makes sense here, that way anything not handled by the client gets transcoded. Anyways i can't say much about wifi cause everything i have is wired but from what i can guess you can set the bit rate lower so higher bitrates...

    Good grief, how do you not get overwhelmed?

    Its probably best to just dig into one, they all have the same basic functionality like loops, conditions, variables, and functions like blazestorms said you gotta just "do it". Once you've got the idea of programming in general then you can really start to look at the little niche's that each...

    Any advice on web hosting for small new business?

    for a simple site like that, i would go with the cheapest but most reliabile service. You're a startup so stay lean, you wont need much scaling unless you provide an internet service. Get something cheap with high up times and a predictable price.

    HTPC, or Home Server..? Both? I'm Confused...

    Just my two cents. Sell the NAS, get a cheap server (i got a Lenovo TS140 $230-$270), run plex. Get chromecasts($35 a pop) and the plex mobile app($5) and then you can just cast everything to the chromecasts. Pretty cheap Plex uses a Client Server Architecture, so you need a server and anything...

    What OS is like Plex but Network based & can do torrents?

    Popcorn Time is interesting but becareful Keep in mind: "What happens to the moves after I'm done? Your movies will stay buried in a secret folder somewhere in your drive until you restart your computer. Then it will be gone for good"

    What OS is like Plex but Network based & can do torrents?

    freeNAS(freebsd) has plex and a torrent client plugin(transmission). Most media servers dont handle downloading i dont think. addionally open media vault(debian) also has plex and transmission plugins.

    build help - storage system

    Well i mentioned the TS140 with freeBSD because FreeNAS9 doesn't have virtualbox plugins and lacks some other functinality I wanted but for just a straight NAS i think this will work fine with transcoding and ZFS. I've also seen some places selling for $234 with some discounts.

    build help - storage system

    Just as an update, i ended up picking up a Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 on amazon for $279 and added another 4gb of ECC Ram. I know you want more SATA but im sure you can pick up an additional card for it. Otherwise its a pretty reasonable solution for the price. Are you opposed to running just...

    build help - storage system

    I'm in the process of creating one myself and ECC is important to me as well. Now i've done some research (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1698299) seems like the boards might work but it doesn't mean ECC is actually working. Gigabyte hasn't officially stated that support ECC and from...

    AMD ESXI Build

    I thought about using Intel but that would require me to build it from scratch, im actually using the CPU from my current desktop so i can upgrade to something more recent for gaming. Otherwise i would have put more thought into it. No reason to just throw out a CPU that runs just like an i3...

    AMD ESXI Build

    Thanks for the advice, ill poke around a bit and see how it goes with the hardware i've choosen. My fallback plan will be to run BSD as a host with virtualbox and pass the raidz array to them via NFS or Samba. I've decided If i go this route ill probably just do. FreeBSD Host 1 x linux VM...

    It depends on your level of coding and what you want to do with it, if you're looking to do marketing stuff squarespace seems fine but wordpress is much more flexible and you can choose your host and probably has far more customization available. Whereas squarespace you're kind of just stuck...

    AMD ESXI Build

    I was looking at this mobo: ASUS: M5A99X EVO R2.0 https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/#specifications Which includes the 990x chipset so i hope IOMMU and i believe it supports ECC. Do you think this will work for my phenom 2 x4 965?

    VM Solution for consistence development environment

    I can't go into too much depth because im not a windows person but you would normally just maintain the Vagrant file(VM specs). So when you go to another machine, you update the your repo(Vagrant File) and say vagrant up --provision and it wil replicate the changes. no rebuilding just maintain...

    Mantle with older CPU

    Well the main reason im waiting now is money. Im already in the market to spend a few hundred for server parts... the gaming aspect is kind of a second thought since i just bought and xboxone and really the phenom is still serving me well enough for most of my gaming needs but I am starting to...

    Mantle with older CPU

    I've been reading and correct me if im wrong. The API opens up communication to the GPU directly so that it bypasses the CPU. So in theory you can have a slower CPU with a high end graphics card. I only ask because I still run a Phenom II x4 965 and AMD Raedon 5770, so i was thinking about...

    Home Server and Dev Lab

    As I mentioned above, I was going to get a new Gaming Computer while i set this away as a server, but I was wondering if the AMD Phenom II x965 still has life as a gaming computer. I normally play Starcraft 2 but I was interested in getting into BF4, Thief, and Titanfall. If so i was thinking...
