    I have a Xiaomi power bank which can charge and supply power at the same time. I could check it with my own head unit and 4g stick (I have a similar setup) The power bank may shut off after a while though...

    yup, used them on 8 and 10 with success. even automatically installed on 10.

    You can take a look at the solarflare SFN5122F. I used that card in a thunderbolt enclosure with my mbp 15 2015. The drivers are for mac os 10.9 but still work with high sierra and with mojave.

    apply some fresh solder to the legs of the bios chip, grab the chip with a pair of tweezers, apply heat to 1 side of pins and lift that side with the tweezers (carefully, don't rip them off). Repeat for the other side. this how i did it a couple of years ago. (although with a soldering iron which was capable of heating a whole row of legs)

    I have an asus X99-E WS 3.1 (is SSI-EEB/ EATX) in my g5 case. Fits easily.

    I do not expect that it's really 20v on that rail. Asus boards have pretty good over/undervoltage protection, so i'd guess it would have shut off by then. Not to say that the psu is fine, it could still be a problem. Do you have another psu to test with?

    I've been able to hit 4.5ghz with my 2600k on a Noctua NH-U12S quite easily. (iirc i was able to hit up to 4,8 but voltages and temperatures were quite insane)

    You can use the IPMI utility (there might be another tool too, but i'm familiar with the IPMI utility) to set the fan speed manually.

    Is the heatsink seated correctly (or maybe the thermal paste has dried out), sounds like a cooling/throttling issue

    Okay thanks! Just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything.

    Hi all, Can anyone clarify if the following SFP+ transceivers and cables are compatible? Tranceiver: https://www.fs.com/de/en/products/11552.html Cable: https://www.fs.com/de/en/products/41735.html I'm planning to use them with a TP-Link T1700G-28TQ switch (anything to worry about in terms of compatibility? Cisco seems like the most widely supported transceiver)

    The power limit shouldn't matter on usb type C devices (100w limit iirc)
  13. simson0606
    It wouldn't matter much if you would only power up the nas when you need it and shut it down when you're done (not much a nas anymore though)... But to be safe i'd then steer away from complex raid types and just stick with raid 1 or raid 10. (rebuilding is much less wear on the working drives) All in all: nas drives are often not that much more expensive, and if the data is important to you... why not spend a little more for the peace of mind.

    I like their skins, have one on my laptop and on my phone. One time i had some shipping issues but they immediately sent a replacement skin, so their customer service is on point. (and like 6 months later the original one landed on my doorstep... usps/postnl...)

    In general you would use raid with the same model drive (2x 960 evo for example). Although it will work with different models (same capacity though) With raid 0 the data will be striped between the drives and will result in roughly double the speed and double the capacity, but when one of the 2 fails all data is gone. also boot times will be slower because raid needs to be initialised. with raid 1 all data is stored on both drives and will possibly give some advantage in read speeds but the most important part of raid 1 is that 1 drive can fail without much consequences. EDIT: I woud not recommend buying a different model drive for raid 0 down the line as capacity increases and prices drop. and different models in raid 0 can impact reliability

    You shouldn't have to work that much, stuff like web browsers other small programs (i'd even include office in that list as an exception) will be no problem on a 120gb drive. remember that windows 10 by itself needs to be able to run on a 32gb drive on some tablets, so microsoft needs to keep storage space in mind.
  17. simson0606
    Of course the storage medium impacts the launch speed of the application. but in case of the antivirus it would also impact the boot speed because it it loaded on startup. So in general: put often used applications on the ssd and also applications that need to be launched on boot. and put the rest wherever you like it.

    You could take a look at obfuscation tools, these are commonly used in .net or java applications. It does not prevent anyone disassembling the code, but it will definitely give them a harder time. (of course a dedicated person will still figure it out, but you might not have had them as a paying customer anyway)
  19. simson0606
    yeah, i also mostly agree with @RedAV8R, Not sure if the upgrade to a 880k is worth the money. (maybe if you can get it really cheap for like €20, €30 ish) Otherwise it would be way better to save up for an i3 or similar. (or maybe take a look at the new ryzen 2200G or 2400G so you don't have to buy a new gpu right now)
  20. simson0606
    There wouldn't be many upgrades that will yield in much improved performance with that cpu. The highest you i'd go with would be along the lines of a 750 (ti) maybe a 1030. Honestly i'd start saving up for an entirely new machine (or higher end second hand)
  21. simson0606
    Can you share some details about the board, cpu and memory?
  22. simson0606
    I ordered a multimeter on amazon a few weeks back and it arrived a week early
  23. simson0606
    if everything else fails you could make an image with macrium backup and then explore the image. There is an option in the image explorer to enable access to restricted folders which makes sure you can access your files
  24. simson0606
    you could take a look at a couple year old second hand prebuilt machine (2nd or 3rd gen i3 or i5) and throw a new ssd in there for a speedy machine. you can probably take a look at a dell optiplex 790 or similar for a small machine Edit: just found an amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Optiplex-7010-SFF-Desktop/dp/B01HSDJFFM

    can't you pick up a regular screw (bolt) with the same thread from the hardware store? maybe with a washer
