    A wild @jakkuh_t is overtaking me! And it's not even close ^^

    Congrats to everyone. Just saw this conclusion post, so a bit late to claim my prize. I'm more than happy that someone else will get it the Random Steam Key

    Hi, I face the same issue. I simply have my folding stats page open and it loads when I open my browser. How can I reach out to EOC to unblock my IP address? For reference

    My bad, I didn't see the tabs. Thanks!

    Quick question: how often is the Gsheet updated? Today's, Week & Event points seem to be identical for everyone. And my points don't really reflect what the online stats show: Then again, this is just a friendly team-effort. So don't sweat it if the stats do not align

    I've got the same issue. I wanted to search the forums before running through the bios power settings. Any news on this?

    No idea. I've you've got the time, money and return policy: please try!

    My solution was to get rid of the Gigabyte motherboard and I got an AsRock one with a Thunderbolt add-in card. In order to make the 5K work, I had to plug in 2 DP cables from the GPU to the add-in card though! It's got something to do with dual-link over DP ... some technical stuff... anyhow, it works now ^^ The remaining issue is that I cannot wake the comupter up through TB. This may have to do with the fact that I've got an optical TB cable and not a copper one.

    I've solved the issue! Just posting this in case anyone else has the same issue one day. I haven't fully understood the underlying tech specifics, but here is how I got it working (not HDR yet, but I'm sure I'll get it working in a couple of days): Forget the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D, it will NOT work with this motherboard You need to use a TB3 AIC card - with Titan Ridge (it's a Thunderbold revision) You need to plug in 2 DisplayPort cables from your GPU into your TB3 AIC. They will combine into one video stream through a single TB3 cable. And the monitor will run at the full resolution From what I gathered, is that TB3, initially, only supported DP1.2 (which supports 4K@60Hz max if I'm not mistaken). In 2018, they added support for DP1.4 (which supports up to 8K@60Hz I believe), but in a weird way. Meaning that the input stream into the TB3 controller, is still only DP1.2, but once on the TB3 layer, it supports DP1.4. Meaning that it combines the 2 DP1.2 streams into 1. Sorry if my "technical explanation" is somewhat approximate, but that's my best understanding as of now. I hope this helps someone down the line.

    I agree with that. I've gotten 2 BIOS updates in the 4 months I've had this motherboard. And judging by the quite haze answers I get through the online support, it seems like there is something fishy on Gigabyte's side. But I don't know how to get it moving faster. Or get an answer other than "we're looking into it". Thanks for your time anyway.

    I went to the BIOS and tried completely deactivating the integrated graphics. It doesn't change anything. But I remembered that there were some Thunderbolt specific settings in the BIOS that I did not understand. Maybe you understand them better than I do? Here are some "screenshots":

    Interesting point. However, I specifically waited for the Z490 chipset to come out in order to have integrated GPU support for DP1.4 (basically, being able to have video if I don't have a GPU for whatever reason). (Edit: I just read through Intel ARK, and see that there is support for DP1.4, but not for 5K resolutions with onboard graphics.) Furthermore, the manual of the motherboard specifies under "Onboard graphics" (page 10 in this PDF file) through Thunderbolt a max resolution of 5120x2880@60Hz with 24bpp. Perhaps the 24bpp is the hicup. When using the onboard HDMI port (which is the only way to output video other than TB3 on this Motherboard), the maximum resolution is 4K@30Hz. But I'm not using this. I will try to dig a bit regarding the onboard graphics. I have an i9-10900 (non K due to availability at the time) in there. Screenshots from the manual: 1. 2.

    The manual of the monitor specifies 5120x2160 @ 60Hz over Thunderbolt (page 24 on this link). So I guess that this is not the issue.

    Hello, My motherboard (Gigabyte Z490 Vision D) has Thunderbolt 3 integrated. It even has a DisplayPort input, to be able to "pipe" the display signal from the GPU through Thunderbolt, and only having one cable leaving the computer all the way to the desk. I specifically bought this motherboard, because my desk is a bit further away from my computer than usual, and only wanted one long cable, instead of many. It's a similar setup than Linus' in this video. Here are the important parts of my setup: Motherboard: Gigabytes Z490 Vision D GPU: GTX 1070 Monitor: LG34WK95U-W One important detail of this setup, is that the display I use has a native resolution of 5120x2160. This resolution requires DP1.4 in order to run it at 60Hz. My issue is: When running a display port cable directly from the computer to the monitor, I get the full resolution at 60Hz. As soon as I pipe the video signal through the Thunderbolt connection, my maximum resolution drops to 4K (the 5K ultra-wide does no longer show up in the display settings). (Setup when piping through: GPU <-DP-cable-> Motherboard DP input <-Thunderbolt cable -> Monitor) So far I have tested the following with no result: I have updated drivers (BIOS, Thunderbolt driver on the motherboard, GPU drivers). Run the nVidia DisplayPort updating tool Contacted LG support (very helpful, but the issue does not seem to be on the display side) Contacted Gigabyte support (very slow to answer, I'm only at the 3rd message within 2.5 weeks... It's e-mail based, not chat. So...) I have tested using a shorter TB3 cable from closer to the computer (tested while in touch with LG support). What I would like to diagnose, but don't know how: Can I detect which DisplayPort version the current display is using? Basically, is my display falling down to DP1.2 when I'm piping it through TB3? Would any of you know how I can get faster answers from Gigabyte? Any other means of contact than their e-support? Thanks in advance, Flo Thunderbolt Control Center: Directly through DP: Piped through TB3:

    Great question, I needed to look it up in my profile. Found the answer in my forum inbox. This dates back to February 2015, when I had paypal issues related to the "Bronze Contribution". Somehow Luke got involved, we resolved it and I got a custom badge. No idea who designed it.

    I have joined the movement and want to support LMG by watching their videos on Vessel. I assumed that it being a paid service, there would not be ads. But I just got an ad on Vessel, why? Maybe I was misinformed, but isn't the idea of Vessel being paid, that it has no ads? II might aswell go back to watching on Youtube and forgetting Vessel. And BTW, Vessel is crap when on low bandwidth (while youtube works fine).

    Forget it, I've read enough bad reviews about HighPoint that I'm going to go with a LSI card...
  19. FloGer
    Has anyone gotten experience with HighPoint's RocketRaid cards?
  20. FloGer
    Hello, I am planning on upgrading my custom-made NAS with a RocketRaid 3620. For the moment I want to stay on the current hardware (just add the raid-card), but plan on upgrading in the future in order to use the NAS for additional functionality (GPU accelerated simulations etc). The reason I will need to change system to add a GPU is that I currently have a mini-ITX motherboard, and will need more PCI-e slots... So I wanted to know how easy (or if possible at all) it is to move a complete RAID-5 array from one system to another one. The OS would be Windows 8.1 or 10 in the future. It will be running on a SSD connected to the Motherboard. I do not know if I will keep the same windows configuration, or use the opportunity to re-install windows from scratch (when moving from one mobo to the next one). Any thoughts? I hope that I gave enough information, feel free to ask for more! Thanks in advance, FloGer

    I would love to get this NUC! Would be a great upgrade to my old HTPC.

    Thanks for the shorter intro Luke (30 seconds) Apart from that, great video!

    Hey Linus, Your intros have become too long! You roll the intro-video after only 50 seconds! I understand that you need more time to tease the upcoming content (which I like), but please keep it short. Luke does a better job at intros IMHO... Apart from that, I loved the video
  24. FloGer
    Great build! One question: Did you apply thermal paste on the CPU? You probably just cut that part out of the video, but is it recommended not to use any? (might be a similar reason than for the rubber...)

    Great job LinusMediaGroup! I understand that producing one video per day can be a struggle, but man it's nice to get home and watch this one video every day! As for the draw, I'm really interested in the Surface Pro 3, so if I'm drawn for anything else, I would like to let it to some other member of the community, just redraw - (s)he'll enjoy it more than I, I guess. Keep up the good work!
