Well, call me blind and kick me in the teeth. Confirmation bias bit me in the butt and turned F9 into P9. Thanks for catching that! If I'd looked at Ali Express (which I refuse to do), I'd have found this: Arctic F9 P9 F8 P8 PWM 90mm 80mm PWM PC Case Fan 4pin PWM CPU Cooling Fan 9cm 8cm FDB Mute...And yet, there is NO P9 shown there! LOL! Why am I not surprised?

That's anti-lag+, not what i mentioned. Translation: Upscaling weighs the heaviest in my choice. DLSS is the best upscaler, Intel can't do native 4K@120, so why should i get anything other then Nvidia? There was no "fanboying" in MY post. I don't fanboy. I was literally saying that every time someone says something for the AMD card you explain it away with something it's not good at. Which is fine, you do you. But what you apparently fail to see is that this is you asking why you should buy the AMD over the Nvidia. So you are clearly already leaning towards the Nvidia and want to know why you shouldn't. You may have made an attempt to ask which brand you should get in your original post but ever since you've been asking "why not buy the nvidia", or you might see it as "Am i buying the wrong card when i go for the Nvidia". Which is why i said "you're not asking which brand/card to get". This is the best argument i've seen for the AMD and will get you the best image on your screen. But since the framegen is not good enough for you, you should just buy the 4070TS and be happy. I'm also not "ragebaiting" btw, i'm just trying to make the choice easy for you. It is actually fine to buy Nvidia. Anyway... good luck with your choice.

Are you certain you are not behind a cgnat? Also why is your internal clients are all phones none of this makes ANY sense.

Technically, no. it only has standard 8-pin PCIe cables. The 4080 super uses thew 12VHPWR power plug, and Your PSU dont have that. But the GPU comes with a 3x8-pin PCIE to 12VHPWR adapter. So you should be fine in theory

I want to port forward certain ports for hosting a server for a game(conan exiles). But I have done everything but the ports are still closed. Ports I want to open 7777, 7778, 27015, 25575. Things I have tried:- Added the inbound and outbound rules in windows firewall for both TCP and UDP. I have even tried disabling the firewall altogether. Disabled the antivirus(bit defender) I got. I disabled the firewall in the antivirus. Does my router has the capability to port forward? But it still says the ports are closed. when I check on the port checker website. I don't have a static ip. My ISP is airtel . I run windows 10. My location is India. I don't have much knowledge in networking. I not sure what internal client mean(refer second image) I had set it to my desktop but it somehow changes to my mobile phones.

@Ricodotsh I think a 650W PSU may be insufficent (even if you have enough cables), in terms of power capacity, for use with a 4080 Super. Using a 4080 Super with a 650W PSU means there is a chance that you'll trip the overcurrent protection on the PSU during heavy load causing the machine to suddenly turn off. You probably want a 750W or 850W PSU (depending on your other hardware). What CPU, Motherboard, other components, ect. do you have? (need this to estimate power usage)

Plug the pump into the CPU_cooler header so that, if it stops working, you'll get a warning. Set it on a constant speed - the loudest that is ok for you but not less than about 70%. If you have to go lower than that, you're risking heat-buildup unless you've got a strong pump like my TR pump (5300 RPM). If the pump is weak (~2300 RPM), dropping it 1150 RPM (50%) is probably not a good idea. You'd have to experiment to find the minimum acceptable speed for your AIO. If your AIO is just too noisy even just above that threshold...Wear some protective earmuffs or get a quieter AIO.

It should be, screw in the antennas onto the gold threaded ports EDIT: oh, bizarre, it doesnt

Novel but clunky all-in-one computers were a thing for a few years in the early to mid 2000s, as everyone tried to figure out what the next big trend after the iMac G3 and G4 was going to be.

Hey all! I'm planning to get a ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, but before I place the order I'd like to know if my PSU has the right cables etc. I think I do have the right cables, but with a big purchase like this, I wanted to get a second opinion before I do so and potentially run into issues when installing it next week. (Upgrading from a 3060) I have the following PSU: RM Series™ RM650 — 650 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/psu/cp-9020194-na/rm-series-rm650-650-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu-cp-9020194-na) I got this PC built for me initially a while back, but I'm assuming all the cables the PSU should have are there. Also heard about the melting stuff, do I gotta worry about anything like that? Thanks in advance!

https://tailscale.com/kb/1131/synology I never performed the steps under "Enabling Synology outbound connections". I wonder how it could ever work in the first place...

There's no reason to overcomplicate the setup like that unless you're running 10 gig Ethernet between your PCs and the file server. Just run everything on one subnet. If you really insist, set up a completely separate network just for file sharing and use a different address space. (For example, 192.168.2.x/24 instead of 192.168.1.x/24.) Then connect to the file shares by those addresses instead of the "regular" ones.

I think you're over complicating it. You have several solutions PC-Switch/Router-Internet PC-| PC-| and PC-Switch PC-| PC-| But also PC(1a)-| PC(2a)-| PC(1b)-|-Switch-Internet PC(2b)-| PC(1c)-| PC(2c)-| Depending on how you setup things, you can either have the network "teamed" so you get 2Gbits per PC, or you can have them on two separate switches with two different IP address sets (192.168.0.1/255 and 192.168.1.1/255) or one set of IP ranges. Basically what you're asking is kind of silly, but not too far out there. If this was a data center, it would make sense, because you would connect your PC's to the "gateway" switch, and then connect your other ethernet port to the un-routed switch, and run your IPMI sessions over that one. Whichever machine is operational acts as the access gateway. But for a home desktop, you do realize you can assign multiple IP addresses to the SAME ethernet device already right? So you could take that third option above, and still assign 192.168.0.1/255 and 192.168.1.1/255 and just only have one gateway assigned and still benefit from having two switches. The problem, of course, is that teaming tends to not work like people think it works. What it does is enable multiple data streams for failover rather than to increase net bandwidth. Usually it only works in favor for servers doing load balancing and not very much for client devices. Anyway, what's most likely going to happen is that Windows won't team the adapters if they're on switches that can't see each other, thus it will treat each switch set as though they are different computers. This might work, but if you're trying to secure your network, it just won't because you can't typically tell Windows to share only on ethernet adapter A and not B. The computer only has one name. Hence the last configuration is no less secure. There is a "gotcha" here though, you can setup static IP addresses on that non-routed-to-the-internet switch connected ports (so you don't need a second router doing nothing), but Windows won't be forced to use it unless you set the internet-facing addresses to "public" and the ones you want the shares to work on to "private" Realistically, you shouldn't even be concerned about this if you have a proper router and aren't connecting your machines directly to the internet.

Samsung Series 7 All-In-One from ~2011 https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-introduces-world’s-thinnest-all-in-one-pc-series-7

Hi buddy, Unless you need some additional security, you don't need to use the 2nd lan port on any PC. I have a 1GB fibre internet connection with the following connected: 7 x PCs (all cat6) 1 x Home Server (cat6) 2 x laptops (wireless) 2 x Phones (wireless) 3 x Smart TVs (cat6) 2 x PS4s (cat6) and a load of home AV stuff that's cat6 as well All of the above is fed as follows: Fibre Router feeds directly into a 12 port switch that feeds all devices in that room. Longer run Cat6 cables then go from same switch to other rooms in the house and into smaller 8 port switches that then feed each rooms devices. I also have a home server that deals with my Plex, file serving and a few network wide services and I have no issues with bandwidth or reliability. In summary, I don't think you need to over complicate your home network with multiple NICs / VLans unless you have specific security concerns as this will only require you to setup potentially unnecessary firewall rules / routes.

This motherboard would seem to be designed for rack-mounted chassis, not regular ATX cases. Its screwing holes do also not match any from ATX chassis. It would be better to grab an empty rackmount chassis that can fit this board, including those listed on Supermicro's website.

As long as you don't exceed the 100°C yes, but you could even run there all day long, and it'll throttle itself if it exceeds it anyway.

tried that, still happens. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon, but just gotta live with it for now IG

Do you think that this keyboard for inspiron 5368 is going to fit my 5379? It has free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284717742399

In your company, maybe. It might surprise you to learn that there are companies specialized in making code efficient.

I purchased the atx version of this board after watching few videos. Come to realization that the wifi/Bluetooth module is not included on the atx version.

Yes was talking about the "democratic" countries, US/EU/Canada etc they usually have stringent criteria to silence media for political reasons

I didn't feel any of the above explainations were complete, so I'm adding this: When a manufacture makes a HDD or SSD they measure its capacity in Terabytes (TB), but Windows measures drive capacity in Tibibytes (This is usually written TiB, but for some reason windows writes it as TB which is why there is always confusion on this topic). The difference between Terabytes and Tibibytes is they use different prefix systems. Prefixs like Kilo, Mega, Giga and Tera are Decimal prefixs and therefore you multiply or divide by 1000 to move between them, so 1000 Bytes is a KB, 1000KB is a MB and so on. However, Prefixs like Kibi, Mebi, Gibi and Tebi are Binary prefixs and therefore you multiply or divide by 2^10 (or 1024) to move between them, so 1024 Bytes is a KiB, 1024KiB is a MiB and so on. Because of this a TB is 1,000,000,000,000 Bytes while a TiB is 1,099,511,627,776 Bytes (almost 10% larger). The effects that the above has are as follows: Here is the capacity information of the WD SN740 SSD in my laptop. In total it stores 2,047,720,046,592 Bytes which is actually about 2% more than the 2TB (2*1000^4 or 2,000,000,000,000 Bytes) the drive manufacture said the drive would have. However, windows measures the drive in Tibibytes and 2TiB would be 2*1024^4 or 2,199,023,255,552 Bytes. Clearly while the drive has more than 2TB, it has less than 2TiB. To get the 1.86 figure, Windows does 2,047,720,046,592 divided by 1024^4 which gets 1.86(23.....) TiB.

It depends on targeted resolution as well as bitrates. Generally, an H.264 video would require twice of bitrates as high as HEVC-encoded ones to maintain the same quality; this can be shown in statistics by playing a video on a browser with bitrates up to 120Mbps. If targeted bitrates are set below that of the source, its quality would be compromised. Also, it is possible that this TV was just getting too ancient to decode 4K HEVC videos natively, or was limited by network connectivity (for example, connected via Wi-Fi instead of wires, since such videos would have fairly high bitrates compared to 1080P, and require a good connection to be transferred). These can be solved by either an external TV box or a Ethernet cable.

Seems like this thread was hijacked Anyways I found out there is a subreddit for tailscale: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tailscale/) I'll try my luck over there too. Best, -a-
