I have a PC with X9SRH-7TF motherboard that i don't reboot very often. (a few times a year at most) Yesterday i did it and the boot is now stuck on the "LSI Corporation MPT2 boot ROM successfully installed!" message. (The mobo has some LSI 2308 controller connected to the drives) I tried...

I'm planning to build a M1 based config using 6700K and next gen (polaris or pascal) gpu, but i wonder what's the best choice for a full watercooling cpu+gpu : 1/ classic single side 240mm radiator with two NF-P12, i would use a EK EVO CPU wb, a DCC+EK top (does it fit?) and probably the...

I bought a 5PX2200iRTN UPS some time ago but the two 80mm fans make some very loud noise, even when the batteries were fully charged the fans slowed down a little but the noise is still unbearable for a quiet desk environment, so it's currently unuseable and lay here till now. I suspect the...

So i have 10Gb ports on my computers (X9SRH-7TF and X9SRL-F + X540-T2) I also have a SG500X-24 switch and CAT6a cables. How to make them work together? I guess i'll need some sort of adapters between the SFP+ ports of the switch and the RJ45 rear end of the computers?

I'm planning to build a config using a X9SCM-iiF mobo, which has 2*PCI-E 3.0 8x & 2*PCI-E 2.0 4x. Does using one of the two PCI-E 2.0 4x port for the graphic card will hurt the performances ? I plan to use 7750 or 7770 graphic card.

I wanted first to build my fileserver using an expensive areca ARC-1882ix-24 controller. Then, after reading lots of threads about ZFS, which seems to be much more safer about all the silent data corruption problems than hardware RAID. So i changed my mind and rethink my build. First...

What HDD would best suit a 24*4TB hdd RAID 6? -Hitachi 7K4000 Ultrastar. -Hitachi 7K4000 Deskstar. -Hitachi 5K4000 Deskstar. -WD Red. -WD Green/Black, or whatever else. -Another HDD brand, but i think there's no others 4TB hdd. (i know Toshiba announced some) The hitachi...

I' m currently searching for a small videocard able to output 30bits (3*10bits) colors to plug with a futur PA301W for photographic and desktop usage. I heard 10bits require a displayport and won' t work with DVI. I don' t need enormous power, but if i can launch old 3D games it would be...
