    Zen 2 Review Summary

    Absolutely it should be praised. Intel: We have 35% OC overhead, so if you aren't a computer expert you pay extra for that performance by buying a faster CPU even though the CPU you are looking at is quite capable of going as high as you wanted. AMD: You are buying a Ryzen3? Here is PBO, it...

    Just got a dual XEON x58 platform, few questions

    ESXi is touchy about old hardware. OP has X5620's, they are not supported past ESXi 6.5 (current version is 6.7). I bet the onboard Intel NICs are also unsupported. I know this because I gave up on ESXi on my dual X5650 on a SuperMicro X8DAi motherboard due to those very issues. On the same...

    China mobo manu leaks | 15% ipc gain zen 2

    I can't see AMD cannibalizing Threadripper sales for Ryzen3. I wonder if the 40 PCI-E lanes is really 20 PCI-E 4.0 lanes that have the bandwidth of 40 PCI-E 3.0 lanes? That would still be double the I/O bandwidth of Ryzen2 but at the same time be less desirable than a Threadripper2 (64 PCI-E...

    Recommend TV tuner card?

    You can cheat if the cable box has component out - there is no DRM on that and capture equipment like HD-PVR2 can grab it.

    Triple Monitor Mount for 34" + 2x27" PLP?

    Only question is weight - I don't see a max weight per monitor in the specs, your 34" might overload the VESA mount and droop.

    Quad (4) monitor desk arm/mount/bracket

    There is a big problem with what you are proposing for a monitor: a 35" 5K monitor has a PPI of 168. A 43" 4K monitor is 100 PPI, a 49" 4K is 90 PPI (a 24" 1080p monitor is 90 PPI). It means you'll either be squinting a lot, have your face quite close to the monitor, or struggle with Windows'...

    Quad (4) monitor desk arm/mount/bracket

    There are 4K monitors like the Dell P4317Q that do this in hardware right now, no software required. They basically have the ability to switch to the old MST standard w/4 inputs (one for each quadrant) similar to what was used in the old IBM T220/T221 monitors, as well as the modern SST. As a...

    Powered or passive subwoofer for clear speakers?

    I've been toying with making an acrylic subwoofer, but I have never worked with acrylic before. Everything I have is pre-built so I didn't have to actually make anything. I also was under the impression that acrylic is not exactly the best material for a sub, as it resonates. Also, the sub...

    Powered or passive subwoofer for clear speakers?

    I checked the back of the amplifier box, it looks the same as your picture so it probably is a FH007. I just Google'd FH008 - $615 CAD for a 100W subwoofer?!?!?! I only paid $75 for the speakers! This audio hobby is suddenly getting very expensive - who the heck pays $26K for speakers? My...

    Powered or passive subwoofer for clear speakers?

    Facebook Marketplace. I asked the seller, she told me that they just moved into a new house with a home theatre setup so they didn't need the speakers anymore. I've never heard of Ferguson Hill, but then again I'm no audiophile - I just thought they looked interesting and they matched up my...

    What are some of the good transparent anti-virus S/W for windows 10?

    How big are your clients? Maybe you should look into Crowdstrike - my work uses it, we still get calls every month from users complaining there is no A/V installed on their laptop :)

    Powered or passive subwoofer for clear speakers?

    I recently bought a used set of speakers. They were slightly more than I wanted to pay ($75 CAD) but they look nice and they go well with my acrylic computer case. I have tried them out and they sound a bit tinny, although they are loud enough as they are powered. They sound fairly well on...
