this is disgusting. thats worse than one plus' cable....

show me?

usb c vs chrome book? did you mean the standards compliance app that was made?

anyone know if any product charges like this?

Any ideas how one actually uses this?

Have fun. I'd like to see how long it lasts

Windows 10 mandatory updates and crashes happen.. And in the real world crashes happen no matter how good it is... You trust home Windows reliability too much... Also potential hardware failures are going to be really painful due to the number layers of software. Fixing Windows, storage server/pfsense takes everything down with it... You do not know the hell you could unleash...

Put four people at different parts of the map and it might start chugging. Otherwise let us see...

I have in a fifty grand fell server(base specs price)

As guy above said CPU benchmarks are the least of your concerns but..this will become a painful headache. Especially if Windows reboots, power failure, etc... At which point you will give up change the system to an easier to maintain one

What is your full internet speed? and normal lag? what is your tested lag and speed when your brother is active?

that wouldn't be that bad. If you took good care of it.

can i point something out...he said under 400 dollars and it will probably get higher above that again.

thats also a roll of the dice that he is is very low on cash he can't afford to lose...

Umm the AMD fx may have something to do with it. I have heard that random pausing is a issue with gaming on fxes even on good builds.

you there is very little advantage in this console killer right? as you can only use AMD APUs which will perform worse on pc due to less optimisation unless you use used parts. And then you still might struggle due to good used parts still cost money.

The 8 core is fine for this. The issue is this a networking can of worms mixing virtual and real. You have to route modem in/wan in through one Ethernet via a vt-d taken over Ethernet. Then there can be three real output ports for Windows,storage, and pfsense local Lan. Or you can use vm bridging to push all local network stuff through one port. Your gonna need to address the disk integrity issue which you still havent.

Networking in an internalised way like you want has no lay mans terms. This is a complex project and there is no escaping it. You have the base hardware with at least two networking adapters (three is preferable). You have base Windows and Linux. Then two virtual machines. The pfsense virtual machine needs to full take over an Ethernet adaptor for WAN/modem feed. It needs a way out to route the traffic to the Lan. So it will have to bridge to main Ethernet port used by windows to output local traffic. (In a two adaptor setup. In three adaptor setup you could use another taken over Ethernet ). The virtual machine holding rockstor would also bridge through Windows/Linux main adaptor. Also your gonna have to handle disk redundancy on Windows side for reliable storage for rockstor. Be aware what your asking is normally done through separate pieces of hardware to avoid headaches like this... I might make a graph of you can't understand this.

If you aren't running slot of mods or heavy ones. You might be able to get away with it. What specs are the laptop?

with boosted cooling yes. but boosted cooling on a machine that old wont yield enough performance cost overall to make it worth it. If you had a core 2 quad i would say yes it might be, but not a duo.

thing is if its already 75c max you dont want it going more than taht if you can avoid it with current cooling. If it was regularly hitting 110 in the past. Its dangerous to oc it now due to potential damage

are you confident with the bios/EFI? and do you understand you need to raise speeds slowly? also if its been regularly hitting 110C i would suggest its a bit dangerous to oc it.

Whats your heatsink?

well pick one and focus on it. and i wouldnt go haswell due to being a end of the line platform honestly unless you going for 4790k and therefore not needing an upgrade altogether.

stock chipsets will be all you need then. you dont needs z chipsets. Also overclocking to 5gz is not as easy at it sounds. Are you going skylake or haswell? that is important to know.
