Are those IR pics made with the FLIR ONE (2nd gen)?
Laptop drives to a lesser extent, but 10k or 15k rpm 2,5" drives still are not happy with turning it on any axis, like the Velociraptor and enterprise SFF drives.
Very cool, wasn't expecting that. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!
Not to mention this solution would severely slow down the performance of my thumb drive, HDD dock, and SD card reader.Well, I'm no EE, so my knowledge in this area is pretty limited. I did a little googling and apparently the nvidia Shield suffers from the same problem, which is due to unshielded USB ports. I think the difference there is the case is made out of plastic, whereas the the entire front of the M1 and the area around the USB ports is solid 1.5mm aluminum, which should block or at least reduce most EMI. Which leads me to think it there must be a hole letting it through... and what comes to mind is the power button. It's ~13mm in diameter and mostly plastic, and sits right next to the USB ports, so it would seem to be a likely culprit. Easy way to test it is just to cover the power button with foil/EMI tape/a piece of metal.This is driving me crazy. Is the only option to use a wired mouse if you want to use USB3.0 peripherals? If I use one of the USB2.0 ports on the back of the case for my wireless mouse receiver, it's about three feet from the mouse, and wireless performance is poor. If I use one of the USB3.0 ports on the front panel, the wireless mouse receiver is 18-24" from the mouse, and wireless performance is generally good, unless I want to use the other front panel USB3.0 port, which renders the mouse completely unusable.
I've been through two different mice, and tried them on several different computers. My NCASE build is the only system that has this problem. It's also my only system with USB3.0 ports. Is 2.4Ghz no longer an acceptable spectrum for wireless peripherals now that our computers have USB3.0 ports emitting interference on that wavelength?
The fact that I have more than two USB devices (wired keyboard, wireless mouse, DAC, HDD dock, thumb drive, SD card reader) means I have to use some USB3.0 or USB3.1 ports as there are only two USB2.0 ports. This could mean that those USB3.0 ports are constantly emitting interference and result in the weak range of the wireless mouse as well as almost non-existent Bluetooth performance. A USB hub connected to the USB2.0 ports could be a solution, but I really hate USB hubs and the extra wires
It does indeed line up perfectly, unless the board has a weird CPU socket location but with Z170 that seems to have been more universally centered. If you can get a Kabuto II, it's an excellent choice for the M1.
Ah, I didn't know that, excellent !
You typically want a PCIe x1 (or better) slot as the first PCIe slot and the PCIe x16 slot as the second slot, so your GPU can sit lower in the Ncase, allowing the fan(s) to sit closer to the bottom. This eliminates most of the air-recycling part. It also allows the secondary card to not block your GPU like it would if it was slotted beneath the GPU.
There is a reason they are so cheap, because they are low-spec boards. EDIT: the PCIe piece is wrong, it's the southbridge connections. This means PCIe 2.0 x4 for the GPU (for the H110), the cheaper Realtek audio chips, Realtek network adapters and often a lot less (modern) ports on the I/O. They are all H110 and B150 chipsets which are basically the cheapest, most basic chipsets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#100_Series_chipsets
