I have an Asus Maximus VI HERO whit an Intel i7-4770k, some time ago I saw a tutorial on how to modify the BIOS to enable boot from the NVMe drive but at the moment I can't find it. I have 2 16x slots free and away from the GPU but on Amazon I only saw a 4x card that I like, there are also some 16x cards but they don't have the rear support bracket and I don't trust them I want the SSD and the adaper card so when I buy the new motherbord I can get rid of the adapter and use the SSD directly on the motherboard

Sorry, it's PCIe

I want to add an NVMe SSD to my old computer, I plan to upgrade everything but I don’t have the money to do it all at once so I want to start to the most critical part. In a couple of months I will buy a new motherboard and CPU, it seems a “waste” to buy a regular SSD now. Maybe I will not get the performance and convenience of the m.2 now but unfortunately the SSD is old and it’s abandoning me so it’s the first thing I need to change. Is there something particular that I should look for when I’m buying the PCI adapter card or are they all the same? Should I buy a 4x or a 16x card? Thanks

Ok thank you, I was trying to pass it through a VM but it wasn't working, it worked with an USB pendrive so I was beginning to doubt that was possible to just move the hard disk to the external enclosure and being recognized by Linux.

I had a computer with Linux installed on an SSD and it had an hard disk formatted in ext4 that I was using just to store files, can I move the hard disk to an external enclosure and attach it to another Linux machine? Thanks

Found the solution: computer date was set to 2099

Some time ago I shared a folder on a computer with Ubuntu via Samba, yesterday I tried to access it with my computer with Windows 10 installed but it gives me the following error message: I tried searching on the internet but I didn't find any answer, is there anyone who can help me? Thanks

A few days ago I installed the latest Windows update (KB4503293) and my Logitech G935 headphones stopped working. I've read dozens of articles about the fact that the update is affecting some Bluetooth devices but I didn't find anyone who actually had problems with any device. Logitech hasn't released any updates yet and I'm back to the previous version of Windows to solve the problem. I guess I can't stay on this version of Windows forever, has someone had the same problem or can help me solve it? Thank you

It works great and I haven't had any problems with the new card

Hi! I recently installed Ubuntu 17.04 in place of Windows 10 in a computer that I use to share a hard drive over the network, everything works (for the moment) but I have some questions since I do not understand much about these things: -Now I'm sharing a temporary hard drive (Ext4 file system) to do some tests and from another computer with Windows 10 I see a folder called "lost+found" that I can't see from Linux. I also connected another hard disk (NTFS file system) and other folders appeared in addition to my files, this time however the hard disk was not shared and I saw the folders directly from Linux. My question is: Can I delete or hide these folders? -I was moving random files on the hard disk (Still the temporary one I mentioned earlier) to see the performance and if everything worked but with some files I get the error "Copy the file without its properties? The file includes properties that can not be copied to the new location". Any clarification about this? -Before installing linux I was sharing a hard disk with NTFS file system, can I continue to use the hard drive as it is or is it better to format it and use the Ext4 file system? All PCs in the network use Windows, apart for a Mac. Thanks to everyone for the help

I did not open them. I've read that Ubuntu already has all the ports open, is it true? EDIT: I only opened the ports on Windows and it worked. Thank you very much for helping

I've installed XRDP, in theory with Ubuntu 17.04 is the only thing I have to do.

Hi, yesterday I installed Ubuntu 17.04 and I spent all day trying to connect via Remote Desktop Connection from my Windows 10 computer to Linux. In the end I came to the point where I can enter the username and password correctly, the problem is that the connection closes instantly without any error message. I did not find any solution apart from changing resolution but, in my case, it only takes a few more seconds to close.

The best solution is to buy the 720W version, although for most of the time there will be a load of 200-300W. Also the battery life does not bother me because here the power fails for just a second, it rarely happens that there's no current for more than a few minutes.

If I buy a 720W or a 860W UPS, could it lose efficiency with a load of 50-60W?

I still have to buy the UPS, I was looking at the average and maximum consumption of my equipment and I noticed that it could draw more than 600W (very unlikely, but it can) so i don't know if to buy the 540W version or the 720W version

What happens if I exceed the power capacity of a UPS while there is still power from the wall?

A few days ago there was a strong thunderstorm and I think a SSD has been damaged. When I turned on the computer Windows was slow and didn’t load pretty much anything. I tried to repair windows but there was nothing wrong with it and after a few restarts the computer has returned to work normally. I checked the health of the SSD with Acronis Drive Monitor and it was at 80% , the Soft Read Error Count was marked as “degraded” with the raw value constantly increasing. I then moved the SSD to another computer and it was all fine and without errors. I put the SSD back on the computer and the error reappeared, today when I checked the disk health to write this post there were no errors and everything seemed ok. Now, is the SSD damaged? Should I return it to Amazon or the SSD is fine? Thanks for the help

The new card arrived today and it seems to work well, I confirm that Acer has not implemented WiFi whitelist and if there will be problems in the coming weeks I will update this post. For now, thank you all

It seems that Acer has never implemented wifi whitelist but I'm not sure because there are no reliable sources. I opened the laptop and the card is 2.5 / 3 cm long so it seems that it is not half size

Judging from this guide seems that the cards are equal, but looking on google seems that the Qualcomm card is half size. I think the only way is to open the laptop but the biggest problem is that I can not find any information on the card, I can not even find the laptop on the Acer website.

I have an Acer VN7-592G-7303 notebook with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A wireless network adapter. I have constant problems with it (for example, this) and I want to replace it with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 or any other Intel card. Is the Intel card an adequate replacement? There may be compatibility issues? Since I can not find any information on the Qualcom card I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

I have the ISP provided modem and a computer with pfsense. There are 2 interfaces, one for the LAN and the other for the access point. Currently I've tried to transfer a file over the local network and download games while whatching Youtube but it seems ok. From now on i check the time at which I turned it on

I can't figure a pattern and I can not even see the log of the access point becouse it delete them every time you turn it off. The connection works perfectly but when the computer is on after 10-20 minutes the access point stop working (only that, the rest of the network continues to function). Channel width is set to auto and it crashes only when it's connected via WiFi

It's a TP-Link Archer D5 with the latest firmware.
