    FS: Dell T30 Mini Server - SOLD

    Hello, I am selling a used Dell T30 mini server. I used it as my Unraid server for a couple years. It runs great and has a Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory. No hard drives or operating system is included. There are four 3.5" drive bays along with a NVMe slot on the...

    Low Power Unraid Build

    You both were right. I ended up returning the non F CPU for a i3 12100. I used a dedicated video card to check out the bios and make sure everything was running fine with the F CPU and then I removed the gpu and the NIC would never light up. I don't think the motherboard booted past the BIOS...

    Low Power Unraid Build

    Hi VoloxitySF, thanks for the input. I should say the goal of this build was not to be just low power but also be pretty cheap but maybe I cheaped out a little too much, lol, especially on the HBA controller. This server isn't hosting anything mission critical or super important at least but my...

    Low Power Unraid Build

    Hi everyone, I just ordered parts for a low power unraid build. My previous unraid server was ran by a Dell T30 server that served me well for 5 years or so. Recently, the cache drive failed in my Unraid server so I lost all of my dockers and system data. I have four spinning disk hard drives...

    Is this guys method of applying thermal paste a good idea? Wrap cling wrap over your finger and then use it to spread the paste?

    I've had good luck with making a cross starting in the center of the cpu. I don't go all the way out to the edge of the cpu though, maybe a half inch or so before the edges.

    SOLD: AMD R7 3800X

    Edit: CPU sold! Hello I am selling an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X. This cpu was in my main rig for a few years and works great. I'm selling it because I have upgraded to a new CPU. I had a mild overclock on it and it has been under a 360mm Corsair AIO cooler all it's life. I can't find the original box...

    3080ti - Unbearable coil whine through speakers

    Hi Superjoe, I had the same issue as you except I have an external USB or toslink DAC. I spent at least a month trying to figure out ways to remove the noise/wine. When I upgraded my RTX 2070 Super to a RTX 3070ti (and later a 3080ti) I would hear an annoying wining sound that would vary in...

    The Awesome Fantastic 5600g Thread

    Just a tip, if any of you are buying the 5600G or 5700G make sure to upgrade your motherboards to the latest bios. I still had issues with my CPU as the CPU Q LED on my Asus B550 motherboard was lit up so I didn't get any video output. I cleared the BIOS just in case since I bought a used...

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    I built my PC about a year ago and recently bought a MSI 3070ti. I used the metal support bracket it came with to keep it from bending over time. It doesn't look too bad. Also, I should have taken the glass off because you can see the reflections but that's okay, haha.

    What exactly is the deal with GPUs

    I think the same thing that is happening to GPUs/microprocessors is occurring with other industries as well such as hunting/target shooting, (ammo) and the automobile industry. My coworker said that she was the last person to purchase the remaining 2020 Crossover SUV the dealership had. The...

    Hello, I am selling a like new ASRock X570 Steel Legend ATX motherboard. I only used it a few days before switching to a ASUS motherboard. The ASRock motherboard works great but I didn't see the full advertised PCIe Gen4 speed of my Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe SSD. It was around 2.2Gbps for the read...

    Intel is losing against AMD

    I really don't care who is "winning". However, I do care that there is competition. We should always have competition as it benefits us, (the consumers.) I am proud to have bought an AMD processor recently as I've only had Intel CPUs in my builds.

    First-Ever 2020 Toyota Supra Sells for a Whopping $2.1 Million

    Just 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque... I don't really care for the looks too but at least Toyota is creating something with a decent amount of power. I rather get a 2018 Chevy Camaro SS with 455HP and 455 lb-ft of torque.

    California Dealers File Petition against Volvo's All-Inclusive Car Subscription Service

    I don't see how their system is illegal. If someone wants to lease a car this way then let them right? I personally will never lease a car but I can see how some would like Volvo's subscriptions (or leases.).

    NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Dismisses the Radeon VII as "Underwhelming"

    Hmm, I have had zero issues with my Asus freesync monitor which is being powered by an old R9 290. I will only support freesync because it is royalty free and has no performance penalty. I would like to upgrade to a new AMD gpu but I don't feel like paying $700 for a new graphics card. For...

    Best way to connect Studio monitors to soundcard/headphone amp

    Okay, thank you, yeah I could put the Emotiva CF before the magni2 amp but I can always change the volume on the amp itself. Now I'm thinking I should put it after the subwoofer and then I'll be able to mix in the speakers to what sounds best, but then again if I need to lower the bass I will...

    Hi, I have a titanium HD soundcard in my pc that is connected from the line out to the line in on a Schiit Magni 2 headphone amp which I use to either listen to my current logitech speaker setup and my Philips Fidelio x2 headphones.

    Philips Fidelio X2 Headphones - $200 FS - Amazon.com

    Hi §·H·ï·Z·N·ï·L·T·ï, I just bought the X2's and they sound amazing. I hear things from music that I've never heard before. I couldn't help but smile after listening to them for the first time. However, I am wondering if the bass will become more pronounced over time. It is there but the lower...

    Computer Engineering

    Hey guys, I just wanted to give an update on my career. I was able to land a great job at one of the largest telco companies in the world as a affiliate (or junior) network engineer. For four months I was applying to jobs and landed three interviews out of countless job applications. I was...

    In terms of sound quality, they're the same. So it's up to you if you want to pay more for detachable cables.

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Headphones for $129 @Amazon. More deals also!

    $120 isn't that great of a deal but I guess it;s decent since it's been retailing for more. I got the original M50 a couple years ago for $100 shipped. The M50x is very similar and has a removable cable. I love the cans though! :D

    Corsair Graphite Series 780T Lucky Draw!

    Corsair has beautiful cases with great cable management. I would like to see an extremely minimalist looking case with a side window with plenty of space inside where you can't see the PSU.
