I added a brand new 14TB HDD to my system. Win 10 When I didn't put big files in the new disk the disk runs fine except sometimes it disappears from the system but after I restart the computer it works fine. It is when I start to add bigger media files (~2GB) to the disk it starts to give me problems; smaller files are fine (~100 MB). The disk usage would stay at 100 percent and the system monitor tells me that the system is accessing that big file with 100 percent disk usage even after the transferring has complete. This makes the drive unusable. I could not even open the folder. I have two other HDD and another SSD in the system they all work fine. Is there something obvious in the configuration that is wired or is it a faulty hard drive? Thanks!

Relatively new and thinking about getting a home server for media sharing among my many devices. An entry level NAS is probably just fine so I was looking at something like WD My Cloud EX2 or Synology DS220j (suggestions?) However, as I was researching I found higher end NAS which had much less CPU and RAM power than a comparable priced PC; why won't people reconfigure these PC for server use but rather would go for a higher end NAS? According to what I learned on the internet, getting a pre-built NAS from a name brand manufacturer would sometimes pose privacy concerns; aren't PC-repurposed home servers more preferable in this regard too? I guess while getting the prebuilt NAS would also get you the software support which you don't get otherwise. But is that the only reason to justify for the big price difference?

An older driver install disabled many resolution options for me. Manually putting it in AMD driver didn’t work either. Setting up this AMD thing took me so much longer than my Nvidia main build. I’m a bit grumpy apologies in advance

For your other questions I got the card from it’s previous owner. The previous owner claimed that the card was never opened. I certainly haven’t seen the need to yet. Never touched the clockspeed. I think my EVGA PSU is fine. And I’m not making rookie mistakes. SSD is my boot drive

Some older version of the driver seems to be okay with not killing DisplayPort completely. However the resolution isn’t correct. I’m poking around with older drivers now.

I got a R9 290 for my secondary media pc. I prefer to use it over display port since that has much less input lag than hdmi on my monitor. Very noticeable: I will refuse to use it if I cant get it on display port Now I'm very certain that this is driver issue: upon fresh install of windows the video comes correctly to my display via DP (except blurry); after installing the latest driver from amd directly I immediately lose the signal, I had to use hdmi instead with crazy input lag. When I reboot, the display via DP show correctly until the windows logo and I lose signal once I'm 1 sec on the windows logo (presumably due to the driver finished loading up). I have yet to find a toggle in AMD driver to force output to DP. If you know one let me know. Otherwise how would I fix this ? Thanks in advance.

To me it’s a matter of money but you should not give up your system nevertheless until you reach the point when you think that you will waste more value in your time than money. Upgrading will always give you a performance boost and I think if you are to upgrade in the next 6 or so months now is the time. I don’t think any substantial upgrade is coming anytime soon in desktop solutions. Let me know how downgrading your driver goes.

If you have enough reason to believe that the card was never opened then there is no reason to do that at all. On the other extreme, if you want to max it’s lifespan you want to water cool it ( first thing I did when I got the card FE edition new). But I suspect you won’t want to spend the money nor the effort. If the card has been opened re-pasting could be an option. You should really know what you are doing though. Just keep an eye on the fan speed vs temperature to make sure everything is working properly if so there is not enough reason to open the card.

Yes! And also have the company paying for a Mac should never be an option out of the window. Look for mobile version of RTX cards soon in a month. I hear MSI and Gigabyte will have their hands on them first. Asus already have a leaked benchmark result of that. Shouldn’t be a long wait at all. Google it.

No. Got proof online just search it and went in store and tested it out. The build quality is not bad AT ALL. Don’t assume.

Hands down GS65 from MSI. If you are willing to shell out 2500 for a laptop you should be getting, in addition to all mentioned requirements great gaming performance and a 144 hz screen. GS65 delivers. (Except for battery life). I dont think you should prioritize battery life but if you are, you have to sacrifice some gaming capabilities.

I'd get the GS65. It is the most thin and light, proven to have good thermals and nice build quality contrary to what MSI is perceived for. You won't regret it. (But do a fresh install of windows upon arrival) bloatware is bad. Hearing your needs I think you'd be happiest with this. In a few years all of these hardware will go out of fashion. But your laptop will still be a thin and light, so it has the right to be a bit dated in hardware-- but currently, it is pretty much as good as it gets in thin and lights. Thin and light is the new theme.

Some RTX laptops are rumored for CES in January 2019 so I would wait if budget is not an issue. I speculate that RTX cards won't come down in price too much so I think you should jump on one. Ray-tracing isn't that widely used yet but the performance boost is huge. IMO. Have fun.

You won't (pretty much) be able to game on this thing... Anything from that price point will not be very satisfying. But I found two things that caught my eyes. They should deliver better than peer experience for you. I won't buy anything in this price point with my own money but these should last you a few years. Have fun. 1.
