    Upgrade PSU?

    Everyone? WRONG people are telling him to check the caps. People are telling him the PSU is getting up their in age. Do you know what the poster is using the machine for? Then stop being presumptuous. Stop making stuff up. You (and I) don't even know what they are OCing too but I took...

    Upgrade PSU?

    So you are no longer going by the links that MacLeod posted (275W) and going by new ones? looky looky? Your calculations? Your calculations suck. Did you know that 325 is NOT less than 300??? The 300 you said it would peak out at? AND your other numbers are WRONG too. You are...

    Upgrade PSU?

    you are generally right.....I keep forgetting about the amature methods for posting power consumption.....they include the wattage from the whole @%@!! rig. <---a really lazy and inaccurate method for communicating power specs. Hey it is easy though. Grabbed the specs from here.....it says...

    Upgrade PSU?

    Get a new PSU because if you use the one you have and put a full load on your computer it are likely to blow up. blow up real good: look up the reviews and power consumption numbers, numbers I found: -GPU 300W<--maxed out. -CPU 80 -MOBO 60W? Heck one calculator I used said a 394W PS...

    SuperMicro X9SAE/-V - Xeon IvyBridge C216 ATX

    Did you try to get it to work? Can you post a link that says only the pro version works with it? From what I have seen and read any VNC works with it. You may have to set up an AMT server but I wont know for sure until I get mine.

    Poll: Which motherboard manufacturer are you loyal to?

    For motherboards: ZERO loyalty (so I guess that mean varies) and it has served me well. I buy a board about once every 1.5 years and I buy based on a few criteria: -Does the company have QC problems? -Does the company have a decent rep and are not full of bs? -Does the board I am buying...

    Would my girlfriend notice if I took her i7-3770 ?

    Word of advice: Don't change anything on her computer. You gave it to her and if she only uses it for solitaire it does not matter. Don't swap out the CPU because she will NEVER forget how cheap and insensitive you were to her if you do. Oh yeah...you will probably feel bad at somepoint down...

    Power issues with a PC - probably defective motherboard?

    what if the problem is your power button? jump the mobo to test. If you don't have the confidence to do at least this give up and get someone else to fix it.

    Which Board For VM's / 16 GB of RAM

    true. He may be looking for a vm host solution but never objected to those terms being used. He did say he would be running it as a workstation too (I assumed as a VM but that was a bad assumption) There are a few inconsistencies: 1) The OP also said they were going to run 5- 10 VMs: Then...

    Which Board For VM's / 16 GB of RAM

    If you know so much you would not have had to ask your question to get your answers, Google would have provided all that you needed to know. The advice I gave is good: 1) You did mentioned RAM, I provided a better option than your RAM choice. I never said you had to use ECC Ram it is better...

    Which Board For VM's / 16 GB of RAM

    BTW: the SuperMicro x9SAE looks like it is going to be a good choice. It also supports both ECC and DDR3 Ram. It is new and you still have to check with community that is supporting you V host.

    Which Board For VM's / 16 GB of RAM

    2 things: 1) Why ECC RAM: if you don't mind a VM becoming corrupted in rare cases don't worry about it. ECC will be about another $150 extra when all hardware is considered. get ECC if you paycheck is counting on it. 2) This is the wrong forum to ask this question. This question will be...

    1155 Server Motherboard: Any Recommendations?

    Warranty is a matter of managing finances. SuperMicro boards have a good rep. The new x9sae based on the c216 chipset and AMT for remote management capabilities. SuperMicro also has C202 boards with IPMI. I have never had to upgrade but I think ecc unbufferred has to be the same memory type...

    HDDs running WAY too hot. Some advice?

    You are seeing the problem now because you have screwed your drives, their failure is coming soon. All the overheating has accelerated the aging of the drives. I know you don't like what the following gives you in the end but (except a stable system)...this is what you can do to mitigate: 1)...

    Total watts can safely pull from usb ports?

    It is not the watts. It is the amps/amperage/current. Think about the amps the device is drawing. I can't say for old devices but for USB 3 and newer devices the device negotiates the amperage draw so that it does not draw too much. So a device that can draw 10Amps when hooked up to a charger...

    Supermicro X9SCL -O -F : Compatible with Ivy Bridge OOTB?

    The specs say it works with Xeon E3 V2. I am assuming it is like the other SuperMicro boards. SuperMicro will ship with a new bios BUT if you buy store stock with the old BIOS it will not work OOTB with your V2 cpu. A V1 cpu will have to be inserted, the bios updated and then the V2 chip will...

    x9sae and x9sae-v

    So I have a xeon with on die GPU ordered. I have hit 4 stores and several sites trying to find a place that has these in stock but the earliest I have been given is a 3 week wait. Any idea where I can get either of these x9sae motherboards in Canada?

    x9sae and x9sae-v

    Called tech support again. Got a bit of of humming and hawing but they said the opposite today. The CPU has to have the intel graphics for the ports to run. This time it sounded more reasonable since the person stated the graphics were the ones from the c216 chipset.

    x9sae and x9sae-v

    The SuperMicro tech support did not give me a lot of confidence, I think I had the new guy. The manual was a little vague too. Nowhere did I see mention of the chipset supporting the graphics OR that an on CPU GPU was reequired. Do these MBs need a CPU with a built in GPU? I am planning...
