I ended up buying two more sticks of 4GB of the same version from Corsair, to reduce the risk of incompatibility. I think 16GB will hold me over for a while. Did we come to a conclusion as to whether or not you can mix two 4GB and two 8GB sticks and have it still work in dual channel utilizing...

Okay, thanks guys for the input. Looking like I can make some improvement by sticking another 8GB in there of the same type, then upgrade to the next gen everything next year. Hopefully I can get by with some basic editing with this setup.

I do CAD (Solidworks), though that's hardly ever taxing compared to doing 4K video editing in Premiere Pro. I've had my computer lag many times doing that. I have two of these currently: 4GB ea 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5V ver2.12

I don't know. Right now just doing some basic stuff the computer is using like 6GB of the 8GB. I figure if I'm going to upgrade I might as well put as much as possible while keeping what I have.

Can anyone else confirm whether the additional ram (2x 8GB) needs to be exactly the same or just the voltage? Edit: Also... will I run into any issues by running a 4GB stick in Channels 1 & 3, and an 8Gb stick in channels 2 & 4. (Total = 24GB)? It should still operate in dual channel and not be...

I see. So if I added some 2133 RAM, in slots 2 & 4, all four slots would run at whatever my current RAM is? 1333 or 1600 whatever I find out... Through HWInfo it does say that the RAM is operating at 1600MHz. How would I verify this?

Hi all, I've got an older computer that I want to add more RAM to because I've heard it will help when editing video (4K GoPro footage). Is this true? Assuming it's a worthwhile upgrade... Motherboard: MSI P67-G43 (https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/P67AG43_B3/Overview) CPU: Intel i7 2600K 3.4GHz...

Awesome! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the help! Yes, when I said that I plugged in the LAN ports, I meant exactly what you described. I have a point-to-point 'invisible' bridge setup that makes it look like the routers are directly connected with a cable. #1 Okay I see, that makes sense. Is there a downside to...

Hi everyone. Quick couple of questions I hope! I share an internet connection with a neighbor via a wireless bridge. The neighbor's router is connected to the internet, so I plugged a LAN port on my router into the neighbor's LAN port. So I can access the both router configurations and the...

Hi everyone. TIA for reading this essay - I am trying to be as clear as possible. I am connected to a Linksys WRT54GX2 router which is connected via LAN port to a Ubiquiti wireless bridge to a Netgear MR814v2 router at the main building. This is a WISP situation and there is no 'modem' to...

Just a little update in case anyone reads this thread. Everything is still working perfectly and there are no compatibility issues. The GPU and CPU run very cool in this case. GPU idles at 28-32 deg. C and reaches about 65 deg C while playing BF3. The case fans remain quiet and smooth after...

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if they can do anything due to where I live. There are mountains and trees physically blocking wireless signals. Verizon is in fact my wireless provider. The repeater that they offer requires an always-on broadband internet connection which I don't...

Nice. I just got my 400R and love it.

I'm not sure this is the right place for this. It may be, since there is a chance of using 3G wireless internet in the future. Anyway, I get no cell service in my home, but outside on the deck at only one point I can consistently get three 1X bars and two to four EV bars by holding my phone...

Ah, okay. Turns out the phones are actually DECT 6.0. I assume that's good for this situation. There really isn't a way to get over the trees, they're hundreds of feet tall. Another thing I should think about is partitioning the wireless speed. Say my neighbor gets 6MBps service and we want to...

How do those things work?

I'd be very happy to have that speed. Good enough for general use, yes.

It's not necessarily your computer. I had my info stolen as well, it can happen to anyone.

What's an AP?

Yeah, I figured. I'm at work and it's dark when I get home but I will try anyway. They are mostly oak and redwood. Redwood needles are similar to pine trees, but flatter and wider. That's a good point. I guess I should avoid shooting through trees anyway.

Yeah, that could help. Here is a little sketch. I will try to get an actual picture also. I should also mention that the home with internet gets their internet from a wireless antenna located about 500ft directly horizontal to the right, via a 2 ft square receiver. Do I have to make sure the...

Does it matter that the wireless phones in my home are 5.8Ghz? Also, regarding the trees. I live in a densely wooded area, but there is a line of site to this one point, probably a 30 foot square. I could go directly from roof-to-roof, but it would have to travel through a few redwood trees...

Thanks for the suggestions. So I'm probably looking at around $200-$300 for everything including wiring (assuming i set it all up myself)? How good is the PoE? Does it degrade the signal quality or speed at all? It might be the better solution rather than trying to get separate power to each...

I live in a valley where my only internet option is satellite. It's slow (1Mbps down, 0.3 Mbps up), laggy (762ms latency), and they limit my download (11GB/mo). A neighbor nearby has fast internet via long-range wireless through a local ISP. By 'fast' I mean 3-6Mbps with no DL cap and 15ms...

Good points. Looks like I'll be flipping it tonight.

I got it all put together. The Corsair case is very well made. I couldn't be happier with the quality. The HDD mounting is very interesting, it suppresses hard drive noise very well. Unfortunately, the 1394 and USB3.0 ports on the front of this case will only work with the MSi -G45...

I have a workstation laptop that was $1500 and performs similarly to a decent desktop build. I like having one capable machine rather than multiple.

I just bought a Corsair TX850M. It's pretty nice. Does it fit your bill? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139029

On question I had during assembly was with the CPU heatsink. It looks like it came with some grey compound on it already and I assume pushing down the snaps through the motherboard was enough? How well does that compound work?

Actually I figured it out at one point and it was significant.

Well I went ahead and ordered the Corsair 400R. I read some really good reviews about it. $100 shipped from amazon. This thing is going to be awesome looking now. I'll post a new picture when it's all built.

How about from a quality standpoint? I know Corsair makes good power supplies, but I have not heard the end of Lian Li's quality raves.

I'm torn between http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=17075X740592&site=hardforum.com&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16811139008&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fhardforum.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Fp%3D1037718658%23post1037718658 and...

Okay, I guess I already spent $900 on this build, I might as well spend $100 more on a nice case to finish it all off properly. Thanks for the suggestions. Edit: I do have the side of the case open for airflow right now. I will keep it that way until I fix it up right.

Maybe something like this: http://www.partition-recovery.com/quest1.htm You will need another computer to do it though so you can run the program and access the drive.

Yeah, of course.

^Well, every little bit counts. Our electricity bill was like $150 because they increase the cost 3-fold when you get into different usage brackets. Anyway, we have since connected the computer to a regular surge protector and the wall, and the only thing we switch on/off is the modem and...
