Sold Have a i5-12400F i purchased last year thinking I was going to build a nice general purpose system with. Never got around to that. Box has been opened and CPU was run in my Z690 board for a few hours before swapping back to my other 12th gen CPU. Runs fine. Still in retail packging with...

nice deal

Didn't think you could get standalone LTSC keys. My consultant I was working with years ago said we had to switch to VL if we wanted to deploy LTSC -- I really wanted to get my clients on a more long term stable platform....I really hate what windows has become.

Sometimes being cheap pays off. Haha. I've been putting off spending $25 on this for years....Reality is, I've gotten old. I know damn well if I buy a game I'm never sitting down to play it more than an hour. Thanks for news. I'll look forward to being part of the F2P n00b plague.

Have a code for for Cities: Skylines. Base game, no DLC. PM me for info Code Taken

Wanted to do a sanity check with everyone here. Trying to discern if I'm a dumbass for buying used SAS drives for my home NAS. Between the absurd price of new NAS drives and the recent SMR drama, I wound up buying 8pc of HUS726060ALS640 from an ebay seller. These are recycled / refurbished...

Man, I picked the wrong time to get in the market for a new TV. Too bad the RU8000 series is a downgrade from the NU8000 Stock levels at stores appear to be wiped out. How about the last remnants on eBay? I am eyeballing this listing, maybe getting the square trade coverage just as insurance...

One thought: Their push or Google+ was to make sure their brand stayed dominant in the internet landscape, and to ensure they kept a direct line to user data. They did not want Facebook to get as big as it has gotten. When Google+ failed, the market share envy grew to new heights to the point...

Any members have an invite you could throw my way? I've had an account there before with nearly 10:1 ratio. Then I moved a few years back and it was a few months before i had my network and systems setup to get back to seeding. Lost my account.

Insinuating there's some level of intelligence at MS these days. Especially when it comes to updates on Win10.

I'm pretty out of the loop on video cards anymore. Although my aging 7970 has stood in quite well for the past 4 yeras, I have no interest in returning to AMD anymore. But, at this point, I don't know if I should aim high (1080) or midrange (1070 / 1060). I primarily game @ 2560 x 1440 @ 85Hz...

I just got the 2415 at work, and it's pretty nice. I have no complaints. But I'm not gaming on it or doing photo editing. Just CAD & email. At the time I got it, 27" 1440p monitors were still too pricey. Then like a few weeks later, the 27's get a price drop and I could have had one of those...

I guess mod piracy will become a thing....Then modders can claim "lost revenue" I agree. I wouldn't even bother installing graphical enhancements if I had to "buy a license" to them. Texture packs and things may be nice upgrades from the game that shipped 5 years prior. But it doesn't really...

People are spending money in fallout shelter? WTF...it's not even a good game. I have it on my phone to take up a few seconds while I'm on the crapper. Spend money on it? My faith in humanity is challenged by this thought.

Sometimes I feel like, growing up as a gamer, the games series we love seem to exist by the grace of a double edged sword. Either way, their fate is never good. Favorite games of mine: Half-Life 1. Small company hit's huge success. Followed up by HL2 many years later. Decent story in HL2 but...

User preference. Doesn't matter What version of window's since vista hasn't included a photo viewer? A featureless but fast browser A 3D graphics API that won't see hit its stride for years. I will admit, I like 8.1 better. But I am not fan of the AppX programs either on Win10 or 8.

Couldn't agree more. Windows 10 is dead to me with the forced update shit. Hopefully they pull the heads out of their asses some time this year. At the very least, allow server 2016 and WSUS to be the end-all-be-all on updates and data mining.

throw me some offers people Really want to sell 3930k as a combo.

Honestly, MS would love to strong arm game devs with that slogan...."don't develop a linux native variant of your AAA game because linux has a 50% priacy rate. Being exclusive to us will get you more revenue." Not that there's much loss. I haven't been excited for a AAA game since Skyrim...And...

nothing i really need to trade for ATM. Maybe an upgrade to my 7970 video card...but I really hardly game enough anymore for it to matter.

Looking to sell these items $200 shipped For X58 + x5650 combo (SOLD) $75 shipped bare x5675 CPU (SOLD) $400 shipped for X79 + 3930k combo (SOLD) Both combos in good working order. I've had zero issue with either. _________________________________________ P9X79 Details The P9X79 board...

As far as vista goes, I thought the performance improved substantially with SP1. Like 8 to 8.1 and 98 ->98SE, it was pretty shaky at release. A year (give or take) after initial release, MS finally had the OS they intended to release. Win7 was more like Vista SP3... Seems to be a pretty...

We were slow at work for a while and I made Windows 10 my main OS for 3.5 weeks at work. I spend most of my day in a parametric 3d modeling environment and drilling into network shares in explorer. Windows 10 was sufficiently stable. Nvidia's Quadro drivers were still in need of some...

Probably forced updates more than anything. You have to take all their marketing BS down to lowest common denominator. In reality, it's more secure but also more broken. But it's new and shiny!

Interesting. So they are maintaining a giant hardware database...I guess that makes sense considering I noticed in my live.com account that I could "remove devices" from those assigned to me, ala Android. In the case of MS, all the more reason to use fake info to make your MS account. you'll...

The CPU wouldn't be the issue. But, if that WD Blue HDD is his boot drive, that could be interesting. I've not tested it much. But I'm suspicious Win10 chugs the boot drive a little harder than 8.1. On an SSD, this make a relatively small difference.

I remember that being that case back in the 90's. Man I miss the days of Glide and OpenGL on windows.

One thing I havne't looked into yet....my home system has windows 10 insider preview installed and activated with an ms account to get insider upgrades. To test installing 10240 RTM, I did a clean install to another SSD (all previous drives unplugged). As it so happend, windows was activated by...

I've been using Windows 10 since it's first TP in October. When build 10162 rolled out, I loaded all my machines with it and have had a relatively smooth experience. Some small workarounds required for some more out-of-the-way pieces of software. But that's been far and few between. I LOVE the...

Thank you for the thoughts everyone. Looks like I have a good number more angles to consider... Windows shares are soooo easy. Why must I be burdened with this drive to learn new things? :p

Not surprised to see a thread like this, really. My nephew had an X79 board he was trying to RMA with them. It was only about 2 years old at the time. Turns out, they forgot to put serial number stickers on some of their motherboards circa 2011. No SN sticker....good luck getting a warranty...

I'm preparing to make the transition to ZFS very soon and I'm still mulling over how I would like to approach this. Ideally I would like to host my ZFS server within ESXi using PCI-passthrough of my H310/9211 HBA. I just rebuilt my server with a xeon 1246 V3 and a supermicro X10SLL-F...

Alright, Thanks for the info. I was totally unaware that there was that much IPC difference. I really thought they were neck & neck. Looks like I'll be giving x79 a go.
