It would be the that the “less powerful” cpu bottlenecks less most than likely. AMD FX CPUs are less powerful than you think compared to newer chips like Ryzen or Coffeelake.

You got a good point there. I pay around $400-500 a year for technology services. I think mine is a little higher because I am an IT major, but we get access to things other people don't like VMWare ESXI Servers (I think it's called Horizon now), a Suse Server for programing, and other things like MS Dreamspark (has MS software licenses). Keep in mind that is probably the total space of the server and they don't know how to set space quotas. My high school had passwords sets to our mascot, Password1, and other stupid stuff and the school quickly learned their lesson. Even after that a student got into a teacher's share somehow, took a test key, give it out because she didn't believe him, and then the school expelled him and took him to court. The court ended up throwing the case out but he was still expelled. They would probably take you to court for pirating (I knew some people that did that while the firewall was down and passwords were still Password1) because they might have gotten a thing from their ISP threating to take legal action for pirating at some point too. That is a thing here in the US, at most colleges they make us install a program that is supposed to prevent pirating on our computers in addition to their firewall, but I have never tried it to see what happens because I don't pirate.

Most than likely the teachers don't have space. I knew teachers that would ask me why it says their Network drive was full, others had external hard drives, and the funniest one is that one teacher had a Ziploc full of promotional thumb drives her husband got from his work that she used. With that said media classes do use a lot of space, in fact there was a few times my hs's media server was full and stuff had to be deleted. I'm surprised my college even gave students 4gb of space considering that there is around 11,000 students at my college. Personally I just use my OneDrive because then it automatically syncs between my PCs (even though I can access my network drive anywhere over ftp). But then again most of the PCs here are thin clients so that saves on lincensing fees and probably makes up for it.

They are probably out of room and need the space. In high school they gave everyone 500mb and my last two years of HS they pushed everyone to use the space in their Google Drive. They even ran out of space on their shared server one time and I thank they had to delete stuff. With that said I knew people that had games installed and the teacher made them remove them. Even now at college they limit us to 4gb on our network drive and that is for everything (desktop, documents, and such) and you can't save locally because the PC wipes itself after you log off. Personally I don't use their computers that much and instead use my iPad and desktop in my dorm room (I have a laptop I use sometimes but it's a heavy gaming laptop). Also I have 1tb of space on my school's OneDrive account and I pay for that in tuition. With that said you don't own the servers and if you go read your handbook it probably says not to be gaming on it. You there to learn (even if it's blowoff thale last bit, it was for me and I only needed one class to graduate my last semester).

I would like to see that, but there are some issues doing that. The biggest one is copyright. They filmed a volleyball video Top-Gun style? And it never got posted for that implied reason. Csf could easily make more content in the summer though.

Also, what do you plan to use your system for?

While it could work, just no. I say that because there is a reason why CM (and others) make more expensive coolers. I have a 212 evo on my Skylake Xeon System that's at my mom's house (my sister uses it) and it works but that is a 80w TDP chip (which is less than the 95w TDP 8700k processor). Now on my personal rig I run a 7700k (a 91w TDP chip) and I am using a Noctua NH-U12S in push/pull (a fan on the front pulls the air in and one in the back pushes out, overkill on fans but if a fan dies I am still fine). With that said my mobo died after a BIOS update (when I was upgrading from the Xeon to my i7) and while I waited for a month on the RMA I had to use my mATX board. The issue with that is that board was incompatible with my noctua cooler, so I used a Intel stock cooler and that cooler struggled so I put a fan on my side panel to direct more air. With that said the 212 doesn't do much better cooling than a stock cooler on a higher TDP chip. Why do you think Intel stopped including stock coolers with the K SKU chips 6th gen on? Anyway, even if you don't overclock Intel Turbo boast will not be able to boast as high as it could (Turbo boast makes some difference). Tldr: Just don't use a 212 evo

Apparently, there is going to be a round 2 of the auction. What did they not sell? https://www.ableauctions.ca/auction?aAuctionId=d589b662-0d89-4dcd-a623-3eacf2f69874

You can add WiFi. Using a usb or adding a internal card.

Remember that is CAD. 1 US Dollar equals 1.27 Canadian Dollar

I know but I found it funny for it to be still up when they are closed.

Has anyone tried to go to ncix.com lately? I did today and it won't load for me. I was mainly curious if their website finally came down considering they aren't in business anymore and it was still up. Also here is a list of items that are being auctioned off from NCIX if anyone wants to look. http://bid.ableauctions.ca/NCIX-Richmond-Auction_as51658 Edit: Nevermind the site is back up.

There's no way to checkout on these sites now.

I know one thing is that according to exncix staffs on reddit, there wasn't enough inventory to build a complete PC. Keep in mind some pictures show CPUs most than likely those were for testing and such. NCIX in addition to selling parts, they ran a PC building business and had NCIX Tech Tips. The big concern for ex-employees (and maybe some customers?) is personal data getting leaked. Alot of times when bankrupt companies have their HQ liquidated the office PCs and Servers don't get wiped. Those PCs could contain anywhere from resumes to personal info like names, addresses, phone numbers, CC info, and Social Security #s (or whatever Canada equivalent is). The auction company just wants to make as much money as possible to pay off debt without regards to privacy.

Honestly I wonder if they are going to have problems at the auction since people lost money to them. Also I heard on Reddit that some people's PC's are still there for warranty service.

Bad decisions by the owner. Mainly investing in the stores instead of online. Also he made some other bad business decisions that affected ncix. Go check out reddit.com/user/exncix and Reddit.com/user/exncixstaff

I just realized that. Mods can lock this thread.

On FP

I know about those videos, but I mean actual tech videos that don't involve breaking things.

Yes. I personally don't watch anymore, but it popped up in my sub box and had to share.
