Kind of late here, but if you talk about server, then you need to talk about UPS. Forget electric bill, any server would benefit from graceful shutdown or prevent a 1h outage. I'm on my 3rd mini-itx server, which uses 1x 14TB drive and 2x M.2 NvMs. My current i3-9100 (w/ECC memory) consumes 20W...

Saw this now......sooo, I should have an 8800GT and 6600....will look for them this WE. Maybe a shot of the famous 8xxx series thermal cycle damage ?!?!?! Oh...I think that's under the chip.

So.....take a piece of plastic less than 4mm (0.15") thick and the width and length of your phone.....now try to mimic talking on the phone....SURPRISE....no matter how rounded the edge is, it feels like it cuts your hand. Thinner is good (I have a 9mm Z5c which could be thinner), but like...

Not all switches are noisy. I went through 3 mechanical keyboards in the last 2 years: 1. A Razer MX blue - returned it the next (working) day and ordered a switch sampler (8 varieties) from Amazon 2. Corsair MX red - went with it for a year, but I really wanted Browns from the start. Finally...

I have one big problem with TAA: ghosting on small movements. I noticed this in Golem after the ACR elevator (I think it's too little information to classify as spolier), when talking to the "i've got a bad feeling" guy (I'm not good with names). He has somekind of big vertical zipper on his...

Well, I don't like theaters, some of the reasons being: fight for seats and scheduling, other people (well, strangers, not friends) and the small gap between seats (you may argue there are better theaters, but not in my 2nd-largest-in-the-country town). Now, I don't know about 50$, but for 25$ I...

So my comments from the OA points: Store Apps: I don't know....I stopped when I could not install any apps without a MS account Action Center: well....I don't agree with the space-eater of the toggles....because I've used it on tablets Tiles: This is confirmation that he is on a non-touchscreen...

Where is the world going to? After about 5 years of yearly phone changes because the 4-4.3" market was underpowered, I have the Z1 compact from launch (1.5 eyars) and no candidate to replace it. Of course if something happens, I'll get the Z3 compact. But at least now I can also consider the...

When I changed from Radeon 5850 to 7950, I did try a friends GTX280 which did not work, although I only had it for 2 days, so I can't be entirely sure that Xen needed patches or not. But my 7950 works flawlessly. And to be clear, I've played AAA games only in virtual machine since 1 day before...

I've been loyal to Firefox since the beginning (I think some 0.9x versions), except recently (few years) for gmail and google calendar, maybe maps. The reason why I do use Chrome is because I can't be logged in to just gmail, calendar and maps, but logged-out of search and youtube (I don't have...

From all the news about this subject it gives the impression that you have to update now or you will never receive updates (which is absurd). I know MS wants all users to freak out. But no articles says that you can install this update any time (regardless of deadline), it's just you will not...

First of all, you cannot give it only the HDD. You need to passthrough the storage controller (more explicitly, a PCI/PCIe device). If you do have a 2nd controller, then if you can boot with it, it should do what you want since the HDD will be natively controlled by the guest. Now...I said "if...

EFI/BIOS setup, under CPU settings, I can enable from 1 to 4 cores.

Ok....I remembered forum discussions about the 3930K steppings (me: just reader). But now I made a new installation and ran some native Win7 3DMarks: 3DMark11: Native, 4 cores: P7171 (GFX:7396) Native, 3 cores: P6651 (GFX:7300) Virtualized, 3 cores: P6479 (GFX:7307) 3DMarkVantage...

@Rody: Unfortunately, according to Intel ark (http://ark.intel.com/products/63697/Intel-Core-i7-3930K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz), your CPU does not support VT-d (which is required for passthrough). Check all the 2011 socket CPUs...

True, except when looking at a solution, time and human hours also count, not like our home experiments where "yeah...I can accept those craks/pops in the sound". So considering also the time invested in my research, I would have had less hassle and faster end-results(....except that somebody...

I doubt "fully-paid" SW bothers with cheap HW. As for Asus, I'm really not surprised. That's the general OEM attitude towards linux. If the chipmaker does not support, why would the integrator? I really don't understand your setup for this. Do you passthrough the ASM card? The problem with...

Oh...so the bug is only with iommu=on? I was wondering why the device would still not work on 3.6 kernels. Thanks for the insight. I've tried using GPLPV drivers but I had issues with the network driver. But that was before I aquired (and passed) the Intel GT NIC. I think I'll give them another...

PS: @powerhouse, what are you using for storage? My WEI is 7.2+7.6 on CPU+RAM, 7.9 on GPU and 6.4 on HDD. And I'm using an Intel 320. PS2: my Marvel sata chips is also useless, as I can't make it work under linux (so I can't pass the Intel) and it also does not work under VT-d. I'll put a 256...

I posted last year at tomshardware: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/forum2.php?cat=15&post=336186 Basically I started with ASRock Z68 Extreme (not Gen3 because of availability), i5-2500 (non-K), Radeon 5850. I wrote there a lot of my experiences with my sound cards (onboard, USB, X-Fi...

I would probably sell the i7 K and buy (since sold at profit) a non-K i7.

Just to add in case somebody else searches for this: I'm using VT-d on an Asus Z68 Extreme4 (not Gen3) with i5-2500 So not limited to Q chipsets (which was valid for Core2Duo as I've seen VT-d cited for Q35). From what I read about VT-d, I get the impression that the chipset has absolutely no...

I'm using VT-d on daily basis, on an i5-2500 (non-K) CPU. So I'm not forced to "E". I'm doing the 2nd part, dedicated GPU + USB + sound. Sound seems to be the most troublesome.

I want that 3470T for my file server. Unless i3 will have AES-NI.

I want to create my 2nd virtual machine for gaming on my current rig (hopefully my PSU can handle it).

There would be only 1 thing to make it funnier: if the screenshot would be from a non-windows enviroment....you know, like Mac, GNU/Linux, Unix, Solaris.... I mean...."Windows Update will update your Ubuntu".....:) Couldn't help myself.

Wel....just keep it pressed when powering on. In all my history, if the BIOS did not clear the keyboard buffer (not seen any), bootmgr/ntldr would catch it. I think the NT range does not wait for user input at boot. Only 9x waits 2 seconds.

To all those who say they don't need to reboot....did you actually do any HW changes to those PCs? Or driver updates? While Vista and 7 really took down reboot counts for drivers, they did not eliminate them. And for HW changes you NEED to power off. I am usually the 1st support for family...

The quote says DFGT, but in the picture it's the G25 that's installed.

demos only hurt “crappy” games and game videos help sell "crappy" games. With demos, you know if you will like the game or not (for the most part). With game videos, you can only tell if the game sucks…after you buy it I totally agree with this. I'm just entering in the "legal" game area. The...
