  1. Built in flat magnets so I can put sets of screws from a device down and not have them roll off
  2. I work for a company that sells software, software can integrate with windows index to build info such as what file needs what other files, dependencies, versions etc I would love to get a 10 bay server rack, fill it with say 500gb drives, and test out what Raid1-10 has on indexing performance, which is fastest etc But I need something with 10 or so bays, I could do the 2.5" (or smaller drives) but I would like to use the server for personal use after 1.Does anyone have any insight on what could improve indexing performance (say it only reads 8kb file headers, raid mirroring degrades performance, dont stripe data, fast single core performance etc) 2.And secondly any idea where I can get a barebones rack case (or populated second hand) for a large number of drives Only reason I want barebones is that it will be next to me whilst I test the fastest way to index through 2TB of data, around 1-4million files, testing it many times and really dont want it to blow my eardrums Edit: Perfectly happy to go second hand and cut out fans if people have experience with them, say telling me get a poweredge 2000 etc
  3. Check if turning off windows 10 game mode helps
  4. Thanks Its just a very fragile board and I wanted some way on confirming its this specific cap before I destroy a board I might probe it with a voltmeter whilst its running (only a 12v board) and decide if its failing to short or open as its definatley still storing just not as well. Thanks!
  5. No idea where this goes on the forum, this was the best place I could find I have a circuit board infront of me, suspected faulty capacitor in which the dielectric insulation has failed I cannot confirm this, I have a multimeter? if its as simple as measuring resistance or something let me know My current fix idea is to solder a Can based capacitor replacement above the surface mount (which I think is dead) Wiring them in parallel Now from what I understand, Wiring a good capacitor in parallel with a broken one renders them both useless right? The broken one actually needs to be de-soldered?
  6. yup thats not installed, I will take a look about the codecs and players though
  7. As title says, only appears when using VLC It does the same thing as most other killed processes and vanishes on mouseover(so no mouseclick) Cant find anything unusual in task manager either EDIT: to clarify, the white icons EDIT: seems to appear whilst not using vlc now. hmm, will update after experimenting, thanks though EDIT: SOLVED< seems to be the service that handles file transfers between my LG V20 android phone and my PC, this is because it shows up in my computer as a "media player" not a usb drive. I assume its something to do with the MTP protocall but oh well
  8. Is your bios up to date and install the vendor drivers for both
  9. You are right, and while every company has its sh** products and its insane ones, I should ignore my past and treat it fairly. Will read some reviews tomorrow about it.
  10. Looking at tablets on ebay, cant find anything that meets my specs atm two choices, the larger or smaller end Large tablet. full usb type A headphone jack Something thats not an intel atom/pentium or worse Greater than 128GB of ssd Windows (preferred hdmi output) Small Not an intel atom or pentium Windows headphone jack Greater than 128GB of ssd I am literally hoping to use it specifically for the desktop version of certain websites which I cannot mention, one specifically being youtube and just hoping that whatever I buy can drive headphones at 24 bit 192khz HP Pro X2 612 G2 Seems great but expensive, I will fork out if I have too, but I already have a laptop and desktop so dont wanna spend much Microsoft Surface Pro 3 12" Great, not that expensive, sides annoy me, also up there but Ideally would like 2 full usb Dell Latitude 13-7350 No USB Dell Latitude 12-7275 So much type c no type a Leaning on the fork out for the pro x2
  11. Hmm The turbo vpn is suspicous and you want to be certain if its the PC or the network external to you. I would verify with another device if you can. Can you? Maybe check your ISP account on their website. For example logging into virgin media allows you to control filters, parental controls, security etc
  12. is it just THIS pc on the network, have you tried for example your phone or laptop on the SAME network.
  13. Ive had issues with pcs before, where literally leavin it overnight has fixed the weirdest stuff, so dont assume the worst right away. Have a rest Maybe reseat it redo the ram, many ram mishapps cause cpu not showing errors
  14. I brought my 980 ti which (compare for yourself on benchmarks) for £320 GBP 8 months ago
