I'm getting a i7-7700K for my system (upgrading from i5-7600) and decided on getting a Corsair single-fan AIO cooler to replace my Intel stock HSF. I initially looked at the H60, but later decided to buy the H80I v2 because of it's extra features (especially the USB connection) Looking into...

A couple of other ideas: This one sounds interesting, requiring you to hack a few binary files. Then you can create a mirrored disk just like on Windows Server. http://www.vttoth.com/CMS/index.php/technical-notes/32 This app might work for what you need...

Are you trying to protect against hardware/disk failure or create a backup copy of your data? If its hardware/disk failure protection, you need to get a hardware-based raid controller (a cheap SAS/SATA PCI-E card will do) for your ESXi box. I found one on eBay a few years ago (Dell-branded LSI...

What I love about Corsair: Their customer service. I recently had my 650TX power supply go bad. They replaced it, no questions with extremely quick turn around. Less than a week turnaround.

Ram voltage is set to stock - 1.5v I already tested with both sticks. Memtest86+ did not find an error after 3 passes. I suppose that I could run overnite, but I don't see the point now. I already identified which one is bad and am preparing to send the memory back to G.Skill now. RMA-ing...

I have to laugh after what I typed last night. "I'm confident that memory is not the issue". Memory definitely looks like the problem now. When just DIMM 1 is installed (in slot A2), I can run Prime95-blend and do other things on the computer with no problem. When DIMM 2 is installed in...

Lucky? :) Do you have to call Oracle for support very often? In my experience, even when your server is down hard it usually takes them at least 30 (usually closer to 60) minutes for a call back, and that is to get to level 1 support. I work for a Fortune 100 company, so its not like we have...

I think that I have for the most part ruled out hardware, so I wanted to try a new OS install. Luckily, I have a spare HDD, so I won't lose my current install (not that it matters much at this point though). If I can duplicate the problem after reinstalling on a different drive, then it is...

I'm running the latest memtestx86 from memtest.org. Strangely enough, its running now and looks good so far. I guess it pays to run the latest and greatest diagnostic utilities. The version included with OpenSUSE 11.4 must be incompatible with my board or memory. If this runs clean, its...

BugginOuT - It is pretty much a new build. I started off reusing my Corsair TX650 PSU, but its been making strange noises for a while. I replaced it with an AX750 to be sure that power wasn't an issue. Just tried running Memtestx86 off an OpenSUSE 12.1 DVD. It doesn't even start. Hangs...

This is strange. I see a system log event that states that my memory.dmp file was deleted after booting up because I have less than 25GB on my C: drive (which is a SSD). I'm configured to use a kernel memory dump, so its not like it would take much space. I've got 24.6GB free, so there should...

Hey guys. I was just running Prime95 to test how stable my computer is. I just reapplied TIM to my cpu/hyper212+ and wanted to make sure that it was good now (way too much last time). Prime95 ran for about 30 minutes before I got a bluescreen error. The error on the screen was something...

I support a large number of Solaris servers at work. If I had a choice, they'd all be migrated to Linux (on IBM System x). After that we'd have a big party and go all Office Space on the Sun Fire 15Ks and 6800s. They're such a pain in the a$$ and take up a huge amount of floor space in the...

Okay. You guys have me convinced. I'm getting the power supply tester.

Thanks for the responses guys. I did swap out the board. That resolved most of my problems, no blue screen errors or odd overclocking error messages in the UEFI. Not one error at all until I ran 3DMark11 to put a heavier load on my system. It made it through most of the tests fine, then...

A little over 2 weeks ago I finally upgraded my rig with an ASUS P8Z68-V, i5-2500K, 8GB G.Skill DDR3 (CAS8), and a CM Hyper 212+. After waiting for so long to upgrade, I was pretty happy with my build. About a week ago I started having instability problems. It started with intermittent...

I usually follow these steps when I replace a motherboard without reinstalling the OS. It gets rid of all the unused drivers and associated registry entries. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/remove-old-drivers-after-upgrading-to-new-hardware/ (the same procedure works on windows...

Just in case any brave souls out there are interested, here's a link that I got today from adata tech support. I have not tried it out myself. YMMV. 3.5 RC 4 Firmware : http://hotfile.com/dl/111822198/a923ca3/RC4.zip.html This will solve sleep mode issues for a large range of computers as...

If you're talking about the Gigabyte motherboard reviews on Newegg, I can understand why you say that the reviews weren't stellar. I don't see any good models available there from them, or anyone else for that matter(ASUS or MSI included). P43 looks like the best chipset available, which is...

My Gigabyte EP45-UD3L has been pretty rock solid since I got it. Its available at a few places online. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=gigabyte+ep45-ud3&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=12294578845891111028&sa=X&ei=EGebTaHCHoSksQOD7eyGBA&ved=0CEwQ8wIwAA# I hear it does okay with...

Consoles support multiple users because they're built to. Also, the hardware is only driving one display. Showing the additional users on a split screen doesn't use much more graphics horsepower than 1 user. If it does need more horsepower to drive more users, they could compensate for that...

If you're building a gaming pc and want to spend less than $600, you have to set your sights a little lower. A motherboard that costs less than $100 will work fine, as will a video card that costs less than $200. Try a google search - "budget gaming pc 2011". Here's one example hit...

It sounds like you've already got one gaming pc. You could pretty easily build another one for $300-$600 if you buy parts off the FS/FT board or eBay, and aim toward one with mid-level gaming power. In the end you and your GF will have a much better gaming experience than if you tried to...

It sounds like BeTwin VS might work. They don't mention whether or not gaming is supported though, and their list of supported video cards list is a little light. Even though higher-end cards aren't listed, I'd bet that they work without a problem. I think that what you really have to ask...

I remember hearing a couple years ago about software that could do this. I could only find one that is geared toward home users. http://www.miniframe.com/products/softxpand/softxpand-home.html The price is pretty good - $49, but only works with XP.

Thanks. I'll give the RST driver a try and see how it goes. Anyone know what the deal is with the 10.1.2.1004 RST driver? I can find it on www.station-drivers.com, but not on downloadcenter.intel.com.

I finally got myself a SSD (AData 64gb w/ Sandforce1200 controller). Is the Intel RST driver needed, or should I just stick with the standard Windows AHCI driver?

At the moment I'm just playing Lord of the Rings Online.

Thanks for the replies guys. The list that samuelmorris posted is very nice. The 6950 to 6970 flash/unlock thing sounds pretty cool, but I'm a little unsure of spending $280+ on a video card. Any idea how the 6950 compares to a gtx 275 with regards to noise and heat output? I'm now...

I'm looking for ideas about what direction to take with my next upgrade. My current setup is working pretty well for me, except for the fact that it tends to lock up or give me video driver crash errors if I turn up the settings when I play games (LOTRO is about it at the moment for me). I'm...

I've got that same case in black. Mine is an Antec. I can't remember what the model number is though. It works very nicely for my dually Xeon server.

Anyone with a 420 in their nick deserves a bump in my book... Reminds me of life back in CA... :cool: BTW... I got that same Netgear NIC working in a Windows 2003 box. It's got a Realtek chipset, so it can use generic Realtek drivers. If I remember correctly, it's a RTL 8169 chipset. See the...

If you've still got a ASROCK board left, I may be interested. YGPM

bump... too bad it doesn't support 533mhz fsb...

I agree with about 70% of what you're saying here... but RAID 0 for all internal drives? I hope that you meant to say RAID 1+0... HP servers are great, but the systemboards to go bad from time to time. A couple of years ago I worked on a project where we had to replace the systemboard in...

What that is all about is they don't want you to run servers in a production or commercial environment on VMWare workstation. VMWare really wouldn't care about what you run on it as long as you aren't charging people money for accessing servers running on it. VMWare workstation is marketed for...

VMWare workstation is not at all limited to a certain number of ourgoing connections. It just doesn't handle memory and cpu resources as efficiently as ESX. VMWare workstation and GSX are pretty similar, but Workstation doesn't have remote managment capabilities and virtual center...
