    WTB: NVIDIA Titan RTX

    I am setting up a new Plex server right now because I have outgrown my original one with i7 7700k. I picked up a 12900k motherboard combo from Micro Center this past weekend, but I am not sure how many transcodes it can handle. I did some research, and it is my understanding that the Titan RTX...

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    I was super upset when the 3080 launched and it was about as impossible to get one as it has ever been on a product launch that I can recall. I wasted hours trying to get one. By comparison, the PS5 and XbSX launches were easy to find. Looking back though with hindsight, I think it is a blessing...

    XBox series X - Costco Pre-order Live - $549.99 (with extra controller)

    It is amazing how realistic the sports games have gotten. The experience feels very authentic. I can only imagine what the next twenty years of gaming technology will bring.

    XBox series X - Costco Pre-order Live - $549.99 (with extra controller)

    Man, there are fanboys in every crowd and I never will understand the undying loyalty to a corporation. I do understand being a fan of specific game series, like God of War, Last of Us, Horizon, etc. and preferring the PS5 for those games. I also understand being invested in a console ecosystem...

    Need advice on hardware/software for custom NAS

    Great question Ready4Dis about what I am trying to achieve. I could have better described my current setup and original intentions. I say 'original' because the more I am learning, the more I am considering a complete change in how I manage my Plex server than what I had originally intended...

    Need advice on hardware/software for custom NAS

    Thanks for the information Grimham. I looked into that case and saw that they have a 7 XL that holds 18 3.5" drives and 2 2.5" drives. Something like that could work out perfectly. I have had other advice given to me as well, and I am still trying to figure out the best path forward. I think it...

    WTB: X79 Motherboard

    Thanks for the offers and suggestion. Turns out that reseating the CPU may have resolved the issue, so I no longer need a replacement motherboard.

    ASUS X79-Deluxe going bad?

    I had a few suggestions to reseat the CPU. I noticed that the CPU has a tiny bit of play when sitting in the socket, and the clamping mechanism to hold it down is not really precise. I did my best to make it dead center and clamp it down evenly. The good news is that it appears to be working...

    Need advice on hardware/software for custom NAS

    I am looking to build a custom NAS solution primarily to host my PLEX library. I have about 35TB spread across six WD 8TB Red drives using StableBit DrivePool. It works, but if I lose a drive I lose a lot of data. I am also down to about 10TB of free space, so I would like to start planning the...

    ASUS X79-Deluxe going bad?

    Updating the thread. I finally found the time to work on this project. I pulled the motherboard out of the case, removed all cards, RAM and the CPU. Inspected the pins in the socket and they all looked perfectly aligned, so no issues there. I pulled off the heatsinks and inspected all...

    ASUS X79-Deluxe going bad?

    Thanks Starfalcon, I previously reseated the CPU, applied new thermal compound and reseated all the RAM sticks as well. I am to break it all down, so I may do it again just because.

    ASUS X79-Deluxe going bad?

    So I am planning to tear down the system, pull the motherboard and look if I can pull up all the heatsinks and apply new thermal paste. Not sure if they are screwed down or glued down right now. I am wondering if age may have contributed to a breakdown of whatever 'paste' is between the...

    ASUS X79-Deluxe going bad?

    As the title says, I have an ASUS X79-Deluxe motherboard. It has been running a non-overclocked i7 4930k, with 64GB of RAM the entire time I have owned it. Recently it started acting up. Symptoms varied, but it would boot just fine, run perfectly, no matter how long it was up, but the moment I...

    WTB: X79 Motherboard

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and bought the NVME drive and PCIe adapter and will try it out. If it works, I think I will return the SSD I bought. How much do you want for the ASRock board?

    WTB: X79 Motherboard

    So interestingly enough, I followed your advice and bought some Energizer Lithium CR2032 batteries and replaced the CMOS battery today. The system booted up, which is a good sign. Thought it was working, but after a reboot, it lost the SSD again (1TB 840 EVO). It is the only device I have using...

    Thank you for the offer, and I am sure that will be a great project for someone else, but a project is not what I am looking for right now.

    WTB: X79 Motherboard

    I currently have an EVGA Classified motherboard that is wigging out on me. When I reboot it, it loses my SSD until I unplug all the SATA cables from the motherboard and then plug them back in. I am beyond messing with it, so I just want to replace the motherboard. Looking for a solid X79...

    Dell H310 flashed to IT mode - Windows 10 drivers / software?

    Thanks for the input. It sounds like there is no benefit for me to go any further with updating the firmware. It is working, so I will just leave well enough alone.

    Dell H310 flashed to IT mode - Windows 10 drivers / software?

    The guide I followed did not have me flash the LSI firmware. I read something else that mentioned this, but have not found a guide to flashing the LSI firmware yet. Any pointers, or know of a guide to accomplish this? Assuming I am able to get this done, do you know what the best Windows 10...

    Dell H310 flashed to IT mode - Windows 10 drivers / software?

    I am sure someone else on here has owned a Dell H310 that they flashed to IT mode to lok like a regular LSI HBA adapter. I followed a couple of guides on the internet and flashed it to IT mode fine. I popped it into a Windows 10 machine with a couple of SAS to 4xSATA cables and have six WD Reds...

    The XBOX One Elite Controller is Nerdgasmic

    I purchased one this past December and really loved the look and feel of the controller, but I had a defect with mine (I am sure I was just unlucky) where one of the buttons was stuck halfway depressed which made it unusable. I took it back for a refund, but I have been watching and waiting for...
