I just bought 8x seagate 7200rpm 18tb drives to update my system, but I need to finally put everything in a proper case. I currently run two RAID 6 arrays on my Areca ARC-1883ix-16-2G via breakout sata cables, 8x hgst 5400 rpm 4tb & 8x wd 5400 rpm 8tb. The internals I want to keep is otherwise...

Hello everyone! I am finally getting around to posting my worklog. It's been functional since July, but there is another significant mod I want to make. I learned a lot making this build, unique to me was having access to the full case 3d model from Lian Li, as well as a new 3d printer...

Hi everyone! I'm looking to upgrade off of my tried and true ftp server to some other method that can keep up with modern speeds. This server is meant for myself and others to access specific folders of content, and everyone buy myself should have read only access. FTP's limitation lies in a...

Hey everyone, I've lucked out and managed to get a 5600x order in so now I need a motherboard. This will be replacing my file server in my signature, a 1700x based system on Asus Prime X370-Pro motherboard. The single core performance is really the major upgrade for it. This is my work & Plex...

I've been on the $95/yr plan for a quite a while, just opened up a new account to get in on this deal. Using 60 connections pulls in a solid 100-104MB/sec with sabnzbd and gigabit fios. This is the link, although it may not be at the right rate, may need the sd link. First try...

Hello, I'm interested in running something between my server and my main pc to accelerate network transfer speed. I often move large files and obviously gigabit works, but I'd like something faster. The raid 6 arrays and my ssd are capable of 370MB/sec or more read and writes for large files...

Hi everyone, I'm upgrading the secondary pc and I am wondering which system would be more appropriate to give the faster ram to. Here's the two setups: 1) File / Plex server (also in sig): 1700x on Asus Prime x370-pro, with 2x8gb Ballistix Sport LT 2400mhz cl16. Runs 24x7 serving up plex w/...

Hi All, Wasn't sure to post this here or in the Amd forum, but the motherboard choice is the most difficult part of this. Looking to upgrade the secondary pc that gets less use by the gf, but she's been getting more into some games with me. I have an rx 580 4gb coming from the forum, and this...

Hello, My girlfriend dropped her old LG G3 right on the corner and the case didn't stop it from cracking the screen and making about 95% of the screen unresponsive to touch, so it's effectively dead. As she was still managing with a G3 and I'm using my G4, we don't need the latest and greatest...

Hello everyone, I finished up my theater in July, and occasionally I had an issue with it getting pretty warm in there. I didn't do anything particular with regard to soundproofing, so of course I also forgot to consider ventilation. During the winter it wasn't an issue, at most needed a...

Hello everyone, My trusty Yate Loons (D12SM-12) have all started to make noise (clicking or buzzing) after 9 years in service. I've tried doing some searching and a lot of information is from 5+ years ago or contains contradictory results. I'm looking for some suggestions, and I have two...

I'm talking with someone who was looking to unload their old Cooler Master Stacker STC-T01, however they live across the country. I actually have this case and the original box from when I bought mine in 08, so I went and measured it. 27" x 26" x 12", and the shipping label from then said 40lbs...

Hello everyone, After the fun I had in my last thread, I decided to reuse a lot of my existing water cooling gear. The problem I am having is the first pump has a grinding/humming type noise that is only present when both pumps are running. If I unplug one or the other, the one left running is...

Hello, I recently got my new work & gaming rig set up, and during work my gpu is mostly idle. A lot of information I find is out of date so I wonder if anyone has a suggestion for an easy to set up miner for a part time 1080 ti? My electrical costs are 19 cents per KWh, so that may mean this...

Hi everyone! I've tried digging through information here and elsewhere, and I actually got to play with one of these at my hour away Microcenter. I think this is what I want! However I am leery of paying this much for a monitor just to get stuck with crazy backlight bleed, or stuck pixels, etc...

Hi everyone, I'm debating keeping my 9 year old cooling loop and case to save some $ for my upcoming build. It hasn't changed much since I built it in 08. Cooling Loop: Thermochill PA120.3 triple 120mm radiator w/ 6x 120mm medium Yate Loon fans in push&pull Swiftech 120mm radiator w/ 1x 120mm...

Hello all, I am doing a major overhaul of my file server, and am looking to add more storage as well as an overall hardware upgrade. There seems to be a lot of possible directions for me to go however, so I'd love some feedback on my plan. The bulk of this will be for media storage. Current...

Hello everyone, So this morning I wake up to my G4 turned off, well it's boot looping so I'm screwed. Bought in 2015, although I'm contacting LG I am expecting they will tell me to pound sand. I used GPS for over an hour yesterday so that probably did it. Anyway I need a suggestion on a phone...

Hello all, My file server's had some slowness for a while, and after a recent par2 repair took 26 hours,its time to upgrade. I'll try to start this off sensibly. Current setup: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE @ stock 3.4ghz 1.25v Asus M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 motherboard 2x2GB DDR3 1600mhz @ 7-7-7-14 1T...

Hi everyone, My current ssd is too constrained on space now, and I'm thinking of handing mine down to my girlfriend's pc so we both get an upgrade. My current motherboard doesn't have any better options such as M.2 so it has to be SATA. My research has led me to the Sandisk Extreme PRO 960 GB...

Hi everyone, I've been doing some reading and I'm really overwhelmed with all the information out there. I'm going to try and break this up for everyone's sanity. Background: Until now, I consume all my movies and tv shows on my computer, almost always just using two speakers. I have a 5.1...

Hi all, This is a difficult topic to research I've found. I'm on a plan with two others, and our devices just became eligible for upgrade on the 27th. Neither of them are really interested in upgrading, the only thing I might be interested in is a developer edition note 4. So we will likely...

Hello, the company I work for has recently moved to Office 365 and I have to now use OWA for sending/receiving email on my desktop and phone. As a remote user, I wasn't part of the on site tech support, but was promised I would be given instructions on how to migrate my emails. I was note, and...

Hello all, My file server has been turned into a media center, but it's a little lacking in flawless playback. It's currently on an old am2+ board I believe, using ddr2 and has an x4 965 black processor in it. I'm outputting video over vga and stereo out to the tv. Unfortunately, the...

Hello all, My friend and I have gamed together for many years, but we are having issues finding new games to play. His son is now 2 1/2 years old and as he is a stay at home dad, so he is constantly having to spend time with him\s son and watch what he plays. I'm an estimator with a varied...

Hello everyone, My signature is a little out of date for my system, but I am still running 5x 1TB (3.6TB usable) Seagate drives (the ones that had all the firmware issues a few years back.) I've nearly filled it and I need to upgrade. This has lasted me over 5 years and I believe the Areca...

Hello all, I recently replaced my motherboard/cpu/ram in my sig with an asus m5a990fx pro, 8350, and 8gb of ram after I was having endless issues of hard locks and even long periods of being unable to boot. Figured the motherboard was bad with the error code constantly being 23 (chipset...

Hello, I've recently replaced my motherboard, cpu, and ram just to find out that both my graphics cards are now giving me artifacts. I need a replacement graphics card, looking for someone's leftovers. No preference on brand or manufacturer as long as it's at least a minor upgrade. I figure gpus...

My motherboard has finally gone belly up and it's too old for a feasible swap. Looking for a decent upgrade over my 790i/q6600 setup in sig, could live with my ram but an upgrade could be in order if the price was right. This is an in between to get me by while I keep looking for a job. There...

First hot deal post please be gentle :D http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3855134&CatId=234 I've got the 1500va version and it works great.

Hopefully this will be short and sweet. I've started using this program a while back and it blocks all kinds of nasty stuff and just about every ad. However, I want to allow certain sites ads through. Looking through the faq and manual on the site http://www.privoxy.org/ I can find no way to...

I'll try to keep this short. I've taken my 260s offline until nvidia figures out a proper driver or gpu3 fixes these issues. On 181.22, I can fold flawlessly, however I like to use my computer and now I NEED newer drivers just to run games. Now I get display driver crashes no matter what...

I can't understand what I'm seeing. Why such low ppd on this project (specifically R3, C40, G2145)? My other 260 is chugging along on a P5771 with 8970ppd. Both have the same clocks, and are water cooled so temps are not an issue(47c and 45c). I used gpuz to verify the clocks. Is this just a...

I'm contemplating adding a second monitor to my desk but have no space, so i figured I'd just use an arm. turns out I can't find anything exactly like I need. Behold my photochop skills: It seems there's plenty of posts with arms that do what i want, but the posts are all top surface mounted...

To start off I've had lots of trouble finding the right driver to play nice with vista, and every time I try to change I get problems. I found 181.22 a while back, and it has been the only rock solid trouble free driver I've had. I've tried many since then, in an effort to keep up with games or...

Well about 3 weeks ago my mobo died on me and the rma process took its sweet time, but my troubles weren't over yet. I reconnected everything and must of been messy with the thermal epoxy on the mosfets because I lit my mobo on fire :( (pics here and here). Thankfully it didn't take anything...

Hi everyone, My vista imploded and I have since reloaded and have noticed now that my gpu client that my primary display is on will make window dragging and general use choppy or laggy, before it never did this. What have I done/forgot to do that's causing this problem? Any help would be...

Argh, I've been bitten by the folding bug, I couldn't pass up a deal for these in the fs/t forum, now what the hell am I gonna do :confused: I was thinking of passing them along to my friend's pc which has an old 6800 ultra pci-e, buth then i realized he has a single core Athlon 64 3700+ at...

Hi everyone, I've noticed a significant hit to my ppd in the last two weeks. The only change to my folding was on the 24th I gave the 9600gso to its new home, but there have been problems and that computer is still not set up. That would account for a small dip. Since then it has dropped...

Hit 1,000,000 overnight :D My ppd is now going to sit around 20k-23k, so my mowing has mostly stopped. Onto the next challenge, FOLD ON!
