Great info from everyone so far, thanks! So, random question then, when you start getting to that many drives, whether or not through 2 addin cards or 1 card + motherboard ports, are there any possible bottlenecks based on CPU, Memory or even Chipset I should be thinking about.

Recently picked up a Rosewill RSV-L4500 for a project I've been working on, and since it's got 15 drive bays, it got me thinking if it would be possible, without breaking the bank, to populate all 15 bays and run them from a single motherboard. Anyone have any thoughts if there's a reasonably...

So, here's my situation. I'm migrating over to an AM4 platform and already have MSI B350 Tomahawk that seems pretty good, but I'm trying to figure out the best way forward with a minor situation I have. I currently have a Plextor 1 TB NVMe M8PeY drive as well as a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming...

Agreed with everyone's comments, I'd much rather go straight DisplayPort, but I'm certainly not going to throw out 2 great monitors just because they only have DVI inputs. :)

I ended up going with a Gigabyte 1070 G1 Gaming and overall I'm pretty happy with it. Easily more than 2x the performance of the old GTX 770. Though I wasn't able to get the two Displayport -> DVI adapters working to run both monitors off the GPU Displayports. If I try to do that, I only get...

Alright, have a real First World problem here. :) Looking to upgrade my current GTX 770 to a GTX 1080 in the near future and I'm running 2 Monoprice 27" CrystalPro 2560x1440 monitors. The monitors are great, but they're an older (2014'ish) model that only has a single Dual Link DVI-D input and...

Anyone have any suggestions on a super cheap tablet that I can use to simply stream music that I have sitting on a Windows based file server sitting across a LAN? I originally was trying to get some old phones to do the trick (HTC 8X and HTC Evo 4G), but I have to jump through a lot of...

So, wife and I have a newborn on the way, and that's got me thinking about a bunch of 'techish' related questions on hardware that I may need to look into once the baby is here. For those of you out there with kids, would love to hear your thoughts/feedback on these questions or any other ideas...

Yahoo has no problem changed their Terms of Service to help themselves at any point, funny how they're screaming when someone is asking them to change it. I think a simple change in the way we do wills is needed at this point. If you don't want anyone to have access to your stuff when you die...

Hehe, excellent. How well will they hold up, and any idea how tight they are?

I've been happily using my Corsair 1500 headset for a while now, and they're great. We're about to have a new 'addition' to the family though and I'm going to need to be able to hear what's going on in the outside world as well. The 1500's are great, but when I have them on, a firetruck could...

Not sure if this is a monitor or GPU issue to be honest, but I've noticed that I've been having problems with 'refresh' of windows and graphics on monitors, particularly when I move a window. Either the contents of the window won't update right away, or the window outline will leave trails of...

I'm at a crossroads here. I currently have 2 of the Monoprice 27" 2560x1440 IPS LED monitors and to be honest, I really like them, but I'm wondering whether I need to start looking for something else. Could be that I'm starting to get into old fart territory, but text on these monitors is just...

I'm wondering if anyone else if getting a relatively loud 'switching' type noise coming from their monitors when they start up, shut down, or change resolution? I've been trying to run Monoprice 27" IPS/LED Monitors for a while now and have already had to RMA 2 of them for making an extremely...

Hey folks. I'm running with a Monoprice 27" 2560x1440 LED CrystalPro monitor, and I'm looking for two side monitors that have swivel mounts that I can put in landscape mode on either side. I thought I had a good find and picked up two ASUS VE198TL's. LED, right resolution and good price, but...

Perfect, 2nd monitor ordered...will let you know the results when it shows :)

Hmm, thanks for the info so far. Still not sure it'll work on the 770. This taken direct from the description of the monitor. "This monitor is designed for the high end. It only supports Dual Link Digital DVI-D input, but it produces a tight 2560x1440 resolution." My GPU has one Dual Link...

I've currently got a Monoprice 27" 2560x1400 LED that I'm extermely happy with and thinking of adding a second. Looks like each of those requires a DVI-D connection and my current Gigabyte 770 GTX only has one and maxes out at 4096 x 2160. Are there really any options for a new GPU other...

Been having a bear of a time getting my new CPU to take any type of overclock, but it could be me just me not setting things up right. Here's the basics of the system: i7-4770K (Batch 3313B373) Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Cooler MSI Z87-G43 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 Corsair...

Want to pick the brains of the HardOCP crowd. I'm looking for an application that can do the following: 1) Record a Skype Conversation in the Windows Desktop version of Skype. 2) Record the conversation in a lossless format (wav/aiff preferred). 3) Record the two participants as separate...

Honestly, don't know squat about editing, but willing to learn if it's not insanely complicated. Edit: Looks like the free version can't import MP4...

I've been looking around for applications that can do what I'm looking for. Right now a few friends and I have been messing around with some co-op video games and would like to record/make videos out of the game sessions. We've been using Open Broadcaster to capture the video in MP4 format...

Well, sonofacrap. I just did one final reboot before I was about to call it a night and of course. POST stop, with error message "99". Gah! The last things I did before I rebooted was download/install about 7 .NET Framework 4 patches and did an update on my browser (PaleMoon x64).

Pretty sure that it's not the CPU, as I tested both a 3570K and a 3770K and saw the same problems. As a matter of fact, at this point I'm almost positive it's not a hardware error at all and it's a problem with Windows 8. I've wiped the SSD and reinstalled Windows 7 pro. Done about 40...

Yeah, did a partition wipe and fresh install each time I swapped the motherboard. Just as some additional info, I've tried a ton of other setups to see if there was any conflicts like booting with only the Samsung or OCZ SSD's attached, or a single stick of RAM (rotating through all the sticks)...

Alright, I've been banging my head against the wall on this issue for the last week or so and can't for the life of me figure out what the issue is. About a month ago I decided to upgrade my aging i7-860 system and move up to something newer, so I built a new machine with the following specs...

Alright, I think I might be onto something. I can redirect the entire error message into a text/log file. If I can somehow dump that full log into a variable, I _should_ be able to strip out the last 20 or 30 characters with %variable:~-30% Though, I'm pretty sure a variable won't be able to...

Yeah, I'm looking for something that comes default in Windows though so I don't need to install tail on every box I want to run it on. Other problem is, I _think_ the entire text dump is considered a single line... :)

Yes, it's always the last line. I thought about using Find, but the problem is I don't know what number it will end up on. For example, it will always end up with this. 4089040891 WinSock Error# function: Bind(), error code:10013 But I don't know what those numbers will be before the WInsock...

Alright, so I've decided to expand out my batch file a bit with some more tools. One of the tools I'd like to use is called the "Max Sessions Tool" from SmallNetbuilder Basically it's two simple executables. A server.exe and a client.exe. You launch server.exe on the target machine and then...

Found one chart in the Windows 8 Secrets book that listed Windows 8 as max of 1 CPU/16 GB RAM, Windows 8 Pro as 2 CPU/64 GB RAM. Don't think it's official, but seems about as close as we're going to get until release. 32 Bit versions are still stuck with the 4 GB RAM limit.

Just wondering if they're sticking to the same limitations in Win 7 (16 GB for 'consumer level'/192 GB for pro level). I can't find anything official from them yet.

Yeah, tweaked it a bit more. Added in a timestamp on the file name, also some commands to take some input from the user and pump that info and the time/date into the file itself. Think that should cover everything. Thanks for all the help! @echo off cls echo Ping Test - 100 Pings, 5...

Just in case anyone is interested, here's the final batch file. Only thing I should probably do is add timestamps to the data piped into the Log File and to the Log File name so it doesn't get overwritten accidentally. @echo off cls echo Ping Test - 100 Pings, 5 Iterations echo. set /a...

Yeah, it's windows. And the main reason we want to do multiple tests it to rule out anything that might throw off a single series of tests. That /V Reply works perfectly. Thanks guys!

Not sure if this is the right forum, but programming seems about as close as to what I need. I'm looking to do some Network testing where we run a series of ping tests against a single machine and track Min/Max/Avg Pingtime and # of Dropped Packets. I know I can easily dump a log file with...

Anyone that invested in this guy deserves to lose their money. It was plain he was a Ponzi scheme and people have been saying it for months. Idiots...

Totally overpriced when you can buy the individual cards for about $420 each and just Crossfire them yourself.

There better be hookers inside those things that come out any time you put on Barry White.

Agreed. It might go up in price a few bucks if you move from some bundled option, but you were likely already paying for it.
