the extreme gaming is marginally faster but keep in mind these are estimated values and are not a fact.

Oh, my bad. Well the refrence one is basically the "newer" version of the G1 gaming so you should see a small improvement in terms of preformance. But feature wise the Xtreme looks sick with the feature of "rgb" fans
you should be able to get a nice overclock as well

DaKi_B reacted to Aytex in 980 Ti G1 Gaming vs Xtreme Gaming
One is watercooled, the other isnt
i'd go for the Aio one
This isn't always the case but Watercooled ones sometimes have lower temps then aircooled thus letting you have more room to overclock

DaKi_B reacted to martward in Questions about NAS and Servers
I am not familiar with unraid, sorry. You can run a game server as well as a NAS on FeeNas as far as I know. I know it is possible to run a mediaserver like plex, or a teamspeak server, but you would have to google to find out whether the game you want to host is possible. There are a lot of guides, and a forum, where you can find lots of information. I have included a pdf which you should definitvely read if you are thinking about FreeNas. A lot of the information is also applicable to other server solutions as well. I will (hopefully) be building a FreeNas server somewhere this month, so if you have questions just DM me
It also talks about ZILs, which is what the SSD is for. I don't have any experience with running game servers though, but I think you'll be able to find a lot of info on the forums.

DaKi_B reacted to martward in Questions about NAS and Servers
You really don't need an SSD for your server, this is only usefull when a lot of people want to use it simultaneously.
Also try looking into FreeNas or Amahi, they are very easy to set up solutions to making your own NAS.
A quad core cpu and 8gb of ram should do perfectly.

DaKi_B reacted to TidaLWaveZ in Questions about NAS and Servers
I don't know anything about unraid, but you can definitely have multiple partitions in raid if that sheds any light on the subject.

That's the 1440p I had in mind. If I do end up getting a 1440p that would be it.

DaKi_B reacted in Good 144Hz 1ms 27" monitor
IPS with tn response times and 144hz is a thing now.... there are three monitors with this new fast IPS panel known for this year:
800$ Acer XB270HU (GSYNC, 27", 144Hz, 1440p, IPS)
1000$ Acer XR341CK (GSYNC, 34" Ultrawide, 144Hz, 3440x1440, IPS)
600$ ASUS MG279Q (Adaptive Sync -unbranded FreeSync-, 27", 120Hz, 1440p, IPS)
First one is already preorderable and costs as much as the rog swift, and is better.
The other two should be out by summer.
If you go with one of these new 144hz IPS`s after 3 years of your 60hz TV, it will blow your mind out of your head.

DaKi_B reacted to Captain_WD in So this just happened
Hey DaKi_B, As the guys suggested, this is probably caused by enabled RAPID mode and RAM caching. If you want accurate results, you should go to Samsung Magician and disable RAPID, restart your system and test again. RAPID does affect real world speeds and bring a good speed boost (if the basic SSD speed is not enough). It, however, wears out the SSD faster compared to when it is not enabled. Also with RAPID enabled, it is known by many people that there is some chance of data corruption even though it is designed not to add any risk to it. I would consider if the extra speed boost is needed or not and then either leave it on or off. Captain_WD. -

DaKi_B reacted to Arct1c0n in You kids have it so easy these days in building a computer....
You kids these days have it so damn easy in building computers. It's utterly amazing how much has changed when 14 years ago at this time, I was spending hours and hours between my college IT classes figuring out why the hell Intel was getting its ass kicked by this "AMD" company and why spending the money on this new "Geforce 3" was such a big deal compared to previous versions that ran Quake 2 just fine but Unreal squashed that.
Back when I wanted to build my first computer in late 2000/early 2001 as a young lad of 20 *God I feel old now* I had to go through a rirtual only other old, get off my lawn farts can understand now
1. There was no Youtube, social media, flash art to give you visual refrences on how to put stuff together. You went and got a "Build Your computer Bible " Version 28 book from Barns an Noble and marked pages
2. You didn't have price search engines, you opened up multiple WINDOWS of etailers and compared prices side by side
3. You spent SLOWLY modem dialing across forums for hours on end dealing with "veteran builders" who kept ignoring you
4. You had to still learn to use jumpers on your IDE drives correctly, or no booting for you. And God forbid if you bend one of the IDE pins
5. Make sure you didn't crush your new Athlon GPU die by putting too much pressure on heatsink
6. USB was VERY MUCH "Plug and Pray" back in those days...
7. Driver downloads took half an hour on times on dial up modems
8. BIOS'es were still big Blue and white screens of fear. Good luck configuring boot up devices if you didn't understand with the included manual
9. LED lighting? Hah, didn't exist. You spent good money on a cold cathode to show of your pimped rig through the window YOU YOURSELF cut and installed
10. Dual CPUs? On a single die? NO no, they had their own sockets. If you had a dual cpu setup, you were a farking god among men
11. Overclocking was a true russian roulette game, with a mis firing gun. You would spend hours on forums trying to get detailed information on what BIOS settings to tweak and NOT to touch. There was no preset and "forget" oveclocking, let alone Windows versions
12. Boot to windows over USB? Whats that?
13. If your Windows key didn't take for whatever reason, have fun spending half an our on hold with microsoft.
14. Is your Soundcard or add on NIC card *most mobo's didn' thave onboard LAN* not working or crashing system? You got to play the PCI slot swapping and reinstalling gaming to find which one was the culprit
15. All in one, prebuilt water cooling kits for $100? Pffffaa bwaa haa!! You had to spend $300 or more from DangerDen on DIY kit with tubing like garden hoses and pray to god your seals held on your waterblocks and self made reserviors.
16. Downloadable ISO's? Hah, you went to the store and bought your copy of Windows 98SE or Windows 2000 if you were a really rich pimp and prepared for hours long install with the CDROM drive spinning away
17. Pre painted and sweet looking cases with good airflow? HAAA!!! Nope, you broke out the spray paint cans, the dremel and jigsaw and MADE your case look good and cool well.
18. 24-30 inch flat screen LCDs? Oh no, you were a pimp if you could afford a quality, 20" flatscreen Sony Trinitron that weighed 40 pounds that you lugged to LAN parties. If you were poor, you bought Viewsonic 19'' CRT monitor.
19. If your dial up 56k modem was getting you downloads speeds of around 33 kbytes a second, God was smiling on you.
20. Was your case getting to hot with that AGP graphics card and multiple hard drives? You had to make your own blowhole, jigsaw style! Or get real creative....
21. Presleeved power supply cables and SATA cables? Haa!!! What are those?
22. If you couldn't afford a $300 CD burner, you got a Iomega Zip drive.
23. You wanna listen to your Blink 182 music CD in full digital? Be sure you have this cable installed
So be thankful you little digital rascals of what you have today. Now get off my lawn....
And after some googling, I actually found a archieved image of my VERY FIRST computer build back in May of 2001 with my very first case modding project based off the Enlight 7237 case which was vey popular back in the day. Wow....the feels....

DaKi_B reacted to Chillstice in I got a question.
I agree with 1080p 144Hz. 4K content is so hard to render as of yet (Also windows scaling sux). If you're fine with paying upwards of $800, then go for it. You will probably not regret it.

Well eventually I guess, but you seemed to have ghettoed a cap, so i wouldn't worry too much
Maybe it'll dry faster in the coming years, but honestly i doubt it. wouldn't worry too much about it!
