Thanks for all the help!

Hello Everyone! I've decided to make my own Cloud file server with my primary goal to sync my and my family's pictures onto it. Their Google Drive (sometimes Drives) is (are) constantly full. What I need is a simple way to sync pictures from multiple devices to my cloud. The hardware is still TBD, I'll probably get some cheap second-hand PC with brand-new drives. My plan is a 4 drive with Raid 5. However I might extend this. What I'm inexperienced in is the software. I think I narrowed it down down to 2 potential software: OwnCloud and TrueNAS. The problem is, I can't decide between them. I don't need all the fancy features of OwnCloud, but the multi-user system is nice, however as I checked the docs, it is harder to set up, requiring the separate installation of a DB and Apache server. As I see TrueNas has the storage management integrated as well, but it might not offer different partitions for different user. Or it might does, I'm not really sure. Thank you!

The motherboard is basically a non-conductive sheet on (and nowadays in) they print the conducting material, the "Circuits". So as long as 2 of them don't interfere with each other, it won't be a problem. So if any metal touches the vessel instead of the circuit part, it will be fine. If you watch any MoBo, you can clearly see how they even add extra layers to protect the screws.

Let's assume you have a desktop and you have access to it's componentes. Plug your display cable to the MoBo, then pull put your GPU. If the system works, your Graphics Card is most likely fried. You can try to attach other PCI-E cards to it's slot, something sacrafical but functional. If the PC recognizes and uses it, your GPU is 100% dead. The other option is that the MoBo is not working properly.

If you want the card to be "safe" or ever intend to resale, I Highly recommend buying some of these. The long strip is probably at the right place, I don't see the need of any further change. Also, pro tip: Next time you disassemble anything, take a million pics No hard feelings m8.

The problem is that nVida is basicly in monopoly for the high-end market. The Vega 64 is too expensive for it's performance due to it not being targeted as constumer card and for good mining performance. I'm not a green fanboy, but as Linus said in his last WAN: The Navi is expected to have 1080 perfomance 2 YEARS AFTER THE 1080 WAS LAUNCHED. Altough the MSRP is $350-400, I ber you anything it will surge to $500-600 after a week. Not to mention if nVidias preformance shift continues, the 1160-1170 will be the same price and performance as the red team'a top. And the greens will still have at least 2 better next-gen cards. If the rumours are true about NAVI's max performance, than it's basicly a chekmate for AMD. I'm really sad about everything that's been going on on the GPU market, but the GPP bullshit and the uncompetitiveness in the highend market leaves them on the ground. Again, I'm not a fanboy, but this is how I see.

There are off the shelf solutions for your problem: https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-g12-black-x52 Corsair used to have one either, the HG10A1 but for some reason it was discontinued. It is mainly for watercooler, but I think it could work with a low profile cooler. However, I'd recommend you buy a busted 960 as a donor for the cooler. EDIT: I can confirm that the Kraken G12 works on GTX 960 reference. IT might be a good idea to buy one now, and you might be able to upgrade your card one day and just buy a new mounter.

I dont recommend it. I have an elitebook x360 that in theory should support external GPUs. I saved up some money for the Omen Accelerator, but it didn't work after carefully following the instructions and talking with support. The problem was that the GPU didn't get the thunderbolt's PCI-e lanes. I don't know why, but HP fvcked up the whole thunderbolt stuff. They recalled almost every thunderbolt docks and accesories. You might try it, but only from stores that have money-back guarantee

I would wait for the 11/20 series to come. You should wait too if you can afford to wait. As far as I can see, its a win-win situation to wait. The new cards are faaaast: Yeah, go ahead, buy a new card for marginaly more money, or you might even be able to get a 1170 (2070) with the same performance. The new cards are like intel 6xxx and 7xxx. In this case, buy the 1080 wwhich will be cheaper.

No, it doesn't detect the built-in screen, because somehow the thunderbolt is not getting its PCI lanes, at least that's what the error code suggests. And yes, the latest drivers. EDIT: I also have the latest drivers and firmwares everywhere.

Greetings! I recently parchused an HP Omen Accelerator. I followed the instructions step by step, but when I connect it to my pc, it won't detect the external screen. I'm using a gtx 970 inside it. When I open the device manager to check on the driver it sais: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system." I tried disableing the intel driver, but it did not help. The driver is up to date. Every cable connection is secure. My laptop is an Elitebook x360 1030 G2. The exact type in unkown, even the website cannot find its name based on the serial and product number. Thanks in advance.

You don't necesserily need a noctua nh-d15 to cool that CPU. For normal use, a Hyper 212 EVO should be more than fine. Not for overclocking though,

So what I understand, is that at the first boot, you have 3 minutes of screentime, including boot, login and some windows desktop time. Right after this, the screen turns off, like it lost signal. Please check if the GPU fans are still spinning after you loose signal. If the GPU dies, it should turn off, or not even turn on. Press windows+P to check your monitor projection settings. It is possible that the computer detects fantom screen that it automaticly switchis to. They do it if the I/O ports on the graphics card are damaged. Also, while running with onboard graphics, you should check for any mining malware. They can force dismount your GPU to mount. For this, you can also try starting your computer in safe mode, where in theory the miners shouldn't start. Thats all I can think of now, please return with results. Best of luck.

So, lets settle this a little bit. What do you want? Gaming or Workstation? What is your budget? On total and on MoBo only. Do you have any preference? AMD or intel? We can't help you until you answer.

check if thermal paste is applied correctly. Looks like your heatsink isn't decipating enough heat, even the 70-75 in other games is too high. Ultimately, check whether your case can breathe and not locked into some sort of cabinet.
