Is this a logical 4080 build?
LasersPewPew replied to Mozametweakin's topic in New Builds and Planning
That I am not sure since I don't own a 4000 series GPU. But it's a Corsair product for the Corsair PSU so I would assume it's fine. but I still wouldn't trust adapters nor want to cable manage extra long cables. lol -

If you already have the PSU, then I suppose that would work. If you're planning to buy a new PSU, i would just get one that natively supports the connector rather than use adapters. Less cable mess to deal with, 3 PCI-E cable to adapter vs just 1 straight through cable. But that's just my opinion. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/all/cp-8920284/600W-PCIe-5-0-12VHPWR-Type-4-PSU-Power-Cable-cp-8920284 But that is the Corsair adapter I was referring to. That plugs directly to your PSU. -

Only Logitech makes keyboards with the Romer-G switches. So if you prefer those, Logitech is your only option. The G715 uses Mechanical GX switches which are proprietary to Logitech as well.

Looks like a fine build. Only thing I would double check is the power supply. The 4080 uses the new 12VHPWR connector. The product page for the Corsair RM850x says it's compatible by using a 2 x 8pin PCI-E to 12-pin 12VHPWR connector, but it doesn't mention whether it's included with the power supply, or sold separately. The page links you to where you can buy it, so it might not be included. But to be on the safe side, I would probably get one that natively supports the 12 pin connector rather than using adapters to convert it. -
Very strange sound of clicking backspace with a tactile switch
LasersPewPew replied to SandyBay's topic in Peripherals
This happens when the metal rod on the stablizers hit the top or bottom of the plastic housing. This is entirely normal if there is nothing in between it to dampen the noise. Most mass produced keyboards use little to no lubrication on the stablizers which results in the stablizings sounding like that. Some people like that sound, others do not. It is not harmful to the keyboard. Based on your video, the spacebar, shift key, enter key and backspace all have the same rattling issue but the especially worse on the backspace. Your other keys don't use stablizers which is why you don't experience that sound on those keys. it's only on the larger keys to Manufacture is not going treat this as defective unless the Backspace button does not actually register the key press. Even if they do replace the keyboard out of warranty, there is no guarantee you will have a better experience with the replacement. You can follow the guide above to add some dielectric grease in the stablizers to help reduce the noise. Since you can't remove the stablizers without desoldering the switch, if you have some dielectric grease at home, you can simply use that with a small brush and just to add them in that way. It's not as clean as the video but as long as you can get some grease on the stablizer rod where it makes contact with the stablizer housing, it can reduce the noise level. Removing the keycap shouldn't be too difficult even if you don't have keycap pullers, but you'll want to be careful not to damage the 3 stems that hold the key in place. -
I thought about picking up a Mystery Sweatpants, but I'm worried there is chance it might be the women's sweatpands and there are no returns or exchanges for those. lol

It depends on how you type on the keyboard. If you're a person who is used to bottoming out your keys then MX Blues and Browns might end up being too loud. But you can always resolve that by getting some o-rings to dampen the sound. It won't elimitate the clicking noise from the MX Blues. Reds are more silent. Key switches are very subjective. I would recommend, if you have the opportunity, to go into a computer store that has the different mechanical keyboards on display to try them in store before making the purchase. I've used Blues, Reds, Browns and Romer-Gs. I prefer the Clickiness of the Blues the most.

Virtual Machines on my domain reboot every 10 mins
LasersPewPew replied to LasersPewPew's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
I think I have narrowed it down. It might not be the domain controller itself after all. I decided to widen the search parameter and look at the Hyper-V logs and from the looks of it, it is actually Hyper-V that is causing the VM to shutdown. I confirmed that it was Hyper-V by disabling the Operating System shutdown option under Integrated Services, and instead of allowing the VM to shutdown it's OS it just turns it off and then back on. So it looks like Hyper-V is the culprit in forced shutdown. I don't see any potential system resources issue, as there are still CPU, RAM, HD space left. I am still trying to figure out what could potentially be causing the VM on this domain to constantly reboot and not when it's attached to another domain. It could also be something to do with the different vlan that this new domain is configured on. As per what events preceded the User32 shutdown, nothing out of the ordinary, the VM sits idling. -
Virtual Machines on my domain reboot every 10 mins
LasersPewPew replied to LasersPewPew's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Windows goes through its normal shutdown procedure when it happens, so it's not a crash. There's no blue screen. There are no custom tasks running, only what's there with Microsoft so I can't think of what could be causing the restart. This only happens when the VM is joined to this specific domain. I have another one that exists, but I am trying to set up a new environment. The issue does not exist on the other domain which leads me to think it might be something on the domain controller that's shutting down the VM? -
I am at a loss here. I don't know what's causing my VMs to restart every 10 mins. It's like clockworks. The domain was just created yesterday so there are no GPOs made besides the one that comes with the domain controller but all the VMs on this specific domain observe the exact same event message How can I stop this from happening. Apologies if this is not the right place for this. Please help!

NAS, VPN, exchange server all in one?
LasersPewPew replied to Deletethisuser's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Also, make sure you have enough RAM. I believe Exchange 2016 requires/recommends a min of 8GBs if you're hosting mailboxes. -

Go to AMD's website and download 7.1.2. It just came out today.
