It should be fine on most games, the g4560 can choke on cpu intensive games though. It depends on the price though (your post makes it seem like you're going to buy hardware) What do you plan on playing?

It makes sense if you planed on keeping your rig power on 24/7 anyway. Besides it's just fun to play around with. Although I would suggest to add a usb card to have hot pluggable usb for your rig (is a hassle without, currently experiencing this at work with an unraid machine where we have to passthrough everything manually with the libvirt extension) Also make backups beforehand

If you decide to update your bios, see if you can do that from within the UEFI, not from windows. (to decrease the chance the freeze affects your flasing process). Which version of windows are you using btw? another thing you could try is boot from a linux live usb to see if that freezes as well. (if that happens i'd guess it's a hardware issue)

nope, it's a xeon exclusive feature. But xeons can be cheap too though

agreed, I did some speccing out of the top of my head and the mobo is 700, cpu is 3 grand, memory another 4 grand. 4 gpu's each nearing 10 grand

you can look at a 2.5 inch wd black (or equivalent) 2.5 inch drives are often much quieter than their 3.5 inch counterparts.

Both those numbers are total system power draw (so it includes all components) so you'll be fine. also 173w+177w == 350w so it would even leave some headroom

I've had many good experiences with macrium reflect free, it can clone or image disks and it can create a bootable usb for restore purposes

You can use MSI afterburner to see the gpu usage of each gpu. Although it seems pretty normal to me that you experience some stutter when moving the windows from 1 gpu to the other as the screen has to be loaded into the second gpu's memory. I'm not sure if I experienced this before...

Why not use windows 10 iot core on the pi? you can continue to work in c# and use gpio

just change the configuration to your liking, and post it here. plenty of people around to criticise check the config.

8 gb should be enough, i have seen GTA V use 6gb on triple 1440p 16gb would be roughly 60 euros more (the link I sent is probably more of a guideline than the perfect configuration)

here ya go https://azerty.nl/basket/?code=YTo4OntpOjE1ODY0Njk7aToxO2k6MzIxNjg7aToxO2k6MjIyMTgxODtpOjE7aToyOTUwMTI7aToxO2k6MjIzNDc5NjtpOjE7aTo0NTA5MzA7aToxO2k6NzE2MzQ7aToxO2k6NzEwMzk7aToxO30= it's a little over budget, and not the cpu cooler you wanted. but you can always choose to overclock later when you actually need the performance and the sad is a nice feature right now. EDIT: have to change the PSU...

ahh man, i love the case of those machines On topic though, I assumed that the machine didn't display anything which would mean that it didn't post (the beeping and the erratic fan). you can look in the manual for the beep codes (maybe your system has indicator leds as well, dell systems are known for those) those can give an explanation as well. EDIT: link to manual http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/622464/dell-xps-710.html?page=67

do you happen to have an older dell system? (dimension 8400 or something) Those machines do that when they cannot post. have you changed anything else other than installing the drive? (maybe bumped something, or pulled something loose)

cue the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo..... I need many kinects for a project... starting over again

maybe see if you can pick up a second hand 4770(k) or 4790(k) and sell your i5

Well, the top end atom would be the 8 core (Avoton atom) c2750 (if the 3000 series is not out) but it's more server oriented...

floatplane could also get an upload but an ad free version (does netlinked have ads?) that would be central pahk!

I've used this board with a 980ti and it worked fine. The GPU got bottlenecked by the cpu in more cpu bound titles and on lower resolutions. but for the most part it worked fine. I'll see if I can test the system with a 960 tonight, that should give a close indication of bottlenecking

in my opinion the bottom skin is the most important one, as many macbooks are scratched on the underside because the feet are so tiny.

what often happenes is that the machine will default to the bios when there is no boot device available. so it could be that your drive is the issue=. can you boot to it when you use the boot menu? (F8 on startup)

var cards = new List<string> { "RX-570P4DFD6/RX-570", "XFX Radeon RX 570 RS XXX Edition", "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti", "ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING" }; foreach (var card in cards) { var match = Regex.Match(card, @"[a-zA-Z]{2,3}[ \-_\.]{0,}\d{3,4}"); //this one is more strict //var match = Regex.Match(card, @"[GRTX]{2,3}[ \-_\.]{0,1}\d{3,4}"); if (match.Success) { var model = match.ToString(); } } maybe this is a push in the right direction... the regex will look for 2 to 3 letters: RX or GTX, it could be more specific with [GRTX] instead of [a-zA-Z] Then it will match 0 or more spaces underscores or hyphens you can also limit this to a single one if nescessary by changing {0,} to {0,1} an then it will match 3 to 4 digits for the model number. the next thing you have to do is to compare the match to your entered model number edit: apologies for the code formatting... the forum makes it quite difficult

ìt's all compatible, although you neeed a cpu cooler as the k series do not ship with one. The build also won't bottleneck in games
