  1. SAS Backplane and Controller Card Questions

    Early sas is size limited, my Dell r710 with perc 6i had a firmware update to be able to support 4TB drives... Probably a similar limitation. Either update was controller or plug large drive into sata port on MB and use smaller drives on sas/raid.
  2. What CPUs are in your Machines?

    home: G4650 x2, i5 6600k, 2x L5640 Xeon, i5 4460 (I need to double check this one) Couple of lower end laptops, AMD A6 in one and i5 in another. Just chucked my phenom ii x3 720BE recently, was running my desktop cnc mill, that's now my core 2 q6600 sff. Work, I need to find the specs, but my...
  3. Intel Releases “Real World” Benchmarks Alleging 9th Gen Core CPUs Beat Ryzen

    H Maybe their going green.. absolutely nothing is taken from nature :)
  4. Intel Releases “Real World” Benchmarks Alleging 9th Gen Core CPUs Beat Ryzen

    Man... They must be getting worried about lack of future chips if they're still talking about their older chips and trying to pass off some of these things as real world, lol. Wonder if it's the 3950x coming out soon that has them worrying.
  5. Apex Legends Project Lead Calls Gamers "Dicks," “***-Hats,” and “Freeloaders”

    Lol, I mean.. u don't have to buy things in game. I prefer to buy a game and play it. I don't like not being we to finish or compete in a gas without buying extra crap. I don't care about selling.eye candy and fluff (like skins that don't give people an advantage). Getting harder to find...
  6. Right tool for the right job. Does RT, DXR, need to be in every game right now?

    Same as other tech... It first makes good screen shots and tech demos before becoming it actually useful. At least this is typical for new features.
  7. Windows Notepad News?

    Is it going my to finally support linux newlines? I use notepad daily, but I have having to open a file in wordpad, save it (so it puts windows new lines), and reopen in notepad. Such a basic feature that's been missing for years.
  8. Apex Legends Project Lead Calls Gamers "Dicks," “***-Hats,” and “Freeloaders”

    I mean, it almost makes me want to go check out Alex legends. They're pretty spot on, but probably not the best way to go about it. However there are probably some valid complaints as well. Best is to separate the BS from the legitimate and then respond to those legitimate concerns rather...
  9. What resolution do you feel your graphics card performs best at?

    Well, seeing as all my monitors are 1080p... I chose that :-). Of course, my ultrawide is 2560x1080, so... That's the highest I need. AMD rx570 2x rx560 Radeon Fury
  10. Intel 5.0Ghz 9900KS seen in the wild!

    I don't care if it's at launch or after, I understand! It's probably not in my market anyways, but still curious to know how much power they need to sustain those clocks, no matter what TDP they claim.
  11. NVIDIA CEO: Buying a New Graphics Card without Ray Tracing Is “Crazy”

    So... Would I be crazy if I bought 1660? Kind of odd that they dissed half of their own market. More people buy low end cards than anything else. Does that make Nvidia crazy for still building non RT hardware? Lol, that guy is just trying too hard and is getting worried that amd has a little...
  12. Intel 5.0Ghz 9900KS seen in the wild!

    If you guys review, please compare actual power.. I see to many reviews comparing TDP ignoring the fact that Intel often goes way over it's stated watts while AMD tends to stay close, giving the (false) appearance of a large gap.
  13. What Linux OS do you use currently?

    I do use real-time Linux for my desktop cnc that I use to route circuit boards on, I forgot about that one.
  14. What do you use for your ESXi Server

    Oh, at work my 'desktop' is a dual Xeon with o think 8/16 each... I was just talking about my home server that I use to play around with for funzies.
  15. Whats your Antivirus Solution? What do you use?

    I disable them on my home network, just slows me down.
  16. What do you use for your ESXi Server

    Got my home server beat :). I think my wife would kick me to the curb if I told her I wanted a few more servers, lol.
  17. What GPU(s) are you running in your main rig?

    I'm running a fury in my main rig too. Both my daughter's are running rx560s, my son's just got an rx570 and took the 280x out. To expensive to upgrade to often, so it's mid/low for everyone :). Honestly the 280x was almost as fast as the rx570 that it replaced, but a little less heat and...
  18. What Linux OS do you use currently?

    Server at work is redhat and Alpine for most docker images. Server at home, ubunto 16.04 for base and 18.04 in most lxc's... none with a gui. I recently tried ubuntu on my desktop (with default hi) for a few days and it's still not even close to ready for desktop, as I assume it never will be...
  19. What OS's, Appliances, and other Software do you run on your VM Servers?

    I run proxmox at the moment, but probably switching to docker of sorts. I have one Minecraft container running bungee with mutliple worlds (about 10 running in total that you can get to via the lobby) with all different mods. I have a separate one setup for pixel Mon (Pokemon for Minecraft...
  20. What do you use for your ESXi Server

    I currently run an older Dell r720, dual L5640 (6/12 each) with 96gb eec ram. I am still setting things up, and I use proxmox (switching to a docker setup though), currently it is my Minecraft server, NAS, development testing (node server, database server), Plex server, working on setting up a...
