Okay so mine took 54 days since order date till me getting my items in Australia. That's longer than aliexpress purchases.

Kinda disappointed in the shipping speed tbh. It took 11 days to fulfill the order from order date plus another 43 days on that since fulfillment.

Good quality stuff, don't get me wrong... shipping price ($44 AUD) and speed (54 days) sucks

Ubiquiti's forums (various angry customer rants aside) are usually helpful with the community moderator/support directing you to directly work on a support ticket with them if necessary, or you could skip that and use help.ui.com and file an official ticket directly (help.ui.com -> Support Resources at the top right -> contact support).

Thanks I have posted there as well

Hey All,

Been watching LTT for years but first time jumping on some gear (water bottle/desk pads)

Anyway, just wondering as I have my tracking number but it hasn't updated in 7 days (it was purchased 11 days before that)

While I understand that they are busy i thought once the tracking number was provided it would at least move to in transit or something on DHL.

So my question is does LTT store send out as they get orders or do they wait for a pallet to be sorted or something then have them ship out?

Can't say im in a rush for them but just wondering what kind of turn around are people seeing

None, no point in buying parts you can't use. Like if I was merely waiting for a 3080/3080ti/3090, I'd just stick it in my existing 4th gen intel desktop until a Ryzen 5900 or Intel 12th gen makes an appearance at this rate.

 

Like buying RAM or a MB without a CPU is exceptionally foolish since you might never get the needed part.

Sure, i would ideally like the CPU to come in stock first... then i can slap the 1080 in the new rig and get me going... I'm doing some hand me downs for my kid to get him off an older gaming laptop so essentially getting bits anyway

Well, the new server, machine learning, and more rig(bunch of vram heavy tasks).  I have a 3900x in my main rig that I'm replacing with a 5900x for game developmentt and chucking in a  6900 xt.  Giving my 2080 Ti to my roommate, and temporarily using a vega 64 in this until I get a 3090.  Also got a 16 port managed switch and 11 grams of kryonaut.

What an awesome couple of builds!

Great system you got prepped there and im already jealous you snagged a CPU already

I am genuinely curious on how many others have a PC worth of bits already or in the pipeline for a build where the last components are going to basically be the GPU or CPU of your choice.

I have a whole PC basically sitting in their boxes waiting for stock of either 3080 or 5900x

What components have you got just sitting there?

I guess this is a bit of a build without an actual build and a list without a critique as you already have the vast majority of it lol.

For me it would be;

Case - Thermaltake T25 TG (Mainly to match the 2 others I have)

Fans - About 8 or so 120mm UpHere RGB ring fans (Again to match the other PC's)

Storage - Samsung 980pro 250GB, Crucial P1 1TB

Motherboard - ASUS Prime x570

CPU Cooler - Corsair ML360R

PSU - Silverstone 750w 80plus Gold

RAM - 2 x 16GB T-Force Delta RGB 3600MHz dual ranked dies

Extras - 10 way Fan Hub

Considering the new cards have just been released you may already be doing this. But what about a video editing comparison on the new Nvidia/AMD cards? I would love to see how both teams stack up within programs such as davinci resolve and premier pro.... output times for a similar video, stack a heap of filters/etc... timeline scrubbing... Taran could make one and just output the same video with each card, he could give his feedback on each and how they feel in program. He also may be able to provide insight on what he feels is the bang for the buck sweet spot card between them all. Could do the same thing within resolve with someone in the office who is versed in that *shrugs*. Heck you could then mash them together in segments (as they both would have the same script anyway).

Puget is normally the best for these benchmarks, but they may take a few days to come out.

 

But normally nvidia is the go to option, as lots of programs just don't support opencl.

Thanks mate I'll keep an eye out for Pugets stuff.. i am hopeful, but i would say you are right in Nvidia most likely being where I end up

Hey all,

Like a bunch of people i will be upgrading to some new gear.

I do a small amount of gaming these days but have been actually doing more video editing from trips, etc.

With these new cards there are page after page of gaming benchmarks and synthetics on youtube.

I was wondering if there are any good/reputable videos for the new cards specifically centering around video editing?

I know that either card I get will be better in gaming than the 1080 i have on my 4K monitor so I'm not too concerned about that so video editing is probably more of a factor for me now.

I notice my 1080 chuggs a fair bit in Resolve when working with GoPro footage, hence wanting the GPU upgrade.

I am leaning towards a 3070 however there are essentially no FE cards projected to come down under, we had 1 retailer with a handful that were raffled off. So the new Radeon pricing for the 6800 is very competitive when compared to the partner Nvidia cards.

Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with booting windows 10 recently?

I noticed that recently that my PC will boot past bios and potentially lock up either on the lock screen or just after getting past the lock screen. Essentially I cant use the mouse/keyboard during this time and need to hard power cycle. It doesn't happen every time and once booted i don't have lock ups or issues during use. I have turned off fast start and initially thought through searching that that was the issue, but it has come back again.

I was trying many Linux over the years but gave up due to finding it confusing as hell, last attempt was arch. so I'm running a heavily cut down server 2016 os on my main rig.

 

ill give Ubuntu a go as I did try it man times over the years back in 09 to 2013 but stopped after the amazon additions and all that.

 

will post back.

I have tried a few but end up back at ubuntu based distros... Mainly because what i want to do most of the time (android building/server) tasks are easily achieved and can be done on a relatively light distro. Anything else, while fun for a little bit become mondane and annoying when you need to hit google/stackoverflow just to get day to day things working on your rig.

Linux can help, depends on what linux distro your looking to use. There would be a lot of preferences out there but lite linux and lubuntu (box based on ubuntu) should be light enough and still be easy to navigate around... if your feeling particularly adventurous you could try puppy linux but there are differing learning curves in doing more than just simple tasks

I mean I don't see why you have a android computer, unless it's very limited on resources, then I don't see why you couldn't use the 5820k, would be great imo.

Not an android computer... its a build computer for dev work

Hey all,

I have been using an intel G3528 as the brain for my current NAS setup. Its connected to 2 sets of mirrored 3TB HGST Deskstar 7200rpm drives as well as a 128GB SSD Boot Disk and 128GB download disk (old and punished SSD). This is running Ubuntu 17.04 with access through samba shares.

I have been setting up a wired Cat6 LAN network in my house as well as beginning to buy a bunch of 4MP POE cameras to use for a CCTV setup with BlueIris. I will have at the minimum 3 CCTV cameras as of next week with an expansion to probably 6-7 in the future (my POE switch has 8 ports ).

I have read that for a setup such as what I'm looking at I will most likely need to use a better CPU. My gaming system at present has a 4790K and my android build PC has a 5820K. I still run builds, probably not as much as I used to, but was thinking of maybe using my 4790K with UnRAID, splitting 1 core&thread to NAS duties and the other 3cores&threads to CCTV duties.

Will I be leaving myself short with NAS duties if i run this route?
Should I just throw my 5820K in the system instead?

If i setup UnRAID will I have to reformat all of my storage disks again?
I was thinking of picking up another drive and using another spare SSD i have lying around for CCTV cache and somewhat long term storage (Or am i missing something that I wont be able to confirgure?)
Should I pick up an add in NIC for dedicated LAN access to each VM?

Thanks all.

While i understand why you are keen to jump on the latest CPU bandwagon, as if you don't do it someone else is going to anyway, but I don't know. It just feels wrong. Weirdly, using a buzz term for it, it does just like, 'fake news.' It just feels over extending and creating a video during the Ryzen buzz just to say you have a video out. You can see why people are pissed and I think you will most likely not make this mistake again. I watch every video and live stream and enjoy the content as a whole but this video could have been better spent on a Ryzen motherboard round up or Ryzen chipset reviews or testing overclocking ability between the B series and X chipsets to see if any performance is gained between them.

One of them is my primary desktop that I use for everything (I'm typing this reply from it), one is a secondary desktop that I use when I need a Linux distro for development or troubleshooting, one is my router for all of my VMs, one is a development server for my company that hosts KVM VMs, one is a development server for my company that hosts OpenVZ containers, one is a Fedora VM I use for testing scripts on RHEL-based OSes, one is a Debian VM I use for testing Debian-based OSes, one is a Damn Small Linux VM I use when all of the CPU cores or disk IO are being used by other VMs, and four of them are a Tahoe-LAFS cluster I was playing around with.

 

I just ordered another 24GB of RAM and a replacement 300GB SAS drive thanks to this thread so now I can keep more of them powered up at a time.

Damm dude that is awesome lol

This  Hesitated at first, since I wasn't sure if my CPU would be able to handle it. Have only spent a few hours in campaign so far, but I love it. I really have to give it to DICE, they nailed it with the WWI setting - creating both some decent "heroic" stories without glorifying the war and giving the player a decent feeling for the horrors that were.

Plus, I'm quite surprised by my 2500 non-k. Combined with a 970, I get a pretty solid 60 fps with dips into the 50's at high settings in 1440p. Guess I will dial that back to medium once online, but it's still pretty solid for a 5 year old CPU. 1440p might as well be to much for the 970, since its VRAM is pretty much pinned at 3.5GB

Just bought this myself today as well. Waiting for it to download...

It's been a while since I bought it, but it is my latest purchase. I had the original LG Optimus G, and it was crap. Honestly, the G4 is also bloated to pieces, and still lags behind in games. Battery is awesome though, the original Optimus G could take 12 hours of average use, this one plows through the day even on heavy usage. Android 6.0 has way better battery optimisation, I used to have it drain up to 10% after locking it down (background apps closed even), now it barely sips power when I sleep.

 

Honestly, since I got it for £300, I would easily have done it again. The leather feels premium, now all I need is a wireless charger and a wireless charge sticker on the back of the cover. The phone is very ergonomic and feels small for a 5.5" phone, doesn't feel bigger than my old 4.7" Optimus G

Would also be nice to play around with Cyanogenmod, but I'm afraid it would take away some camera features of this phone, as well as I have no knowledge of rooting and swapping OS on a phone

hit up XDA Developers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4

have a read through the general thread, there are a couple threads within that have some information about which devices can and cant be rooted to allow for further custom firmware to be flashed

Just now ordered a all white Caselabs STH10 for my next build coming up Been waiting a month for caselabs to add white to the options.

 

SNip

Holy moses... that is one expensive, yet dam fine case you'll have to do system pics for sure. 

Personally, i would one of those phase change cases, which are about that price.

I have been wanting to sure up my network around the house, with about 20 devices connected if not more at times to wifi across 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks, our poor TP-link D7 cops a hammering. I have changed the router to optimize for the best channels on both bands.

So I picked up 2 x kits of these D-Link AV2 2000 Gigabit Powerlines. We don't own our house so powerline is all I got for better connectivity. In the future in my own place ill get a 24 port switch and wire the whole house, a mate of mine is a sparky so a case of beer (in his case probably protein powder haha) and ill be good

I also picked up 2 of the TP-Link 5 port gigabit switches (cheapest ones), nothing special but they work perfectly.

Further picked up 2 x 2M Cat6e cables, 1 x 5m Cat6e cables, and 3 x Cat6es with 2 x Cat5e (both of those cat5e's came with the powerline adaptors).

Attached a powerline at the router, my desk, my room and one to the satelite television.

put a switch in the room to mediapc/NASpc, PS4 & a further cable to my laptop (when im in there)

put the other to the desk attached to my build rig, gaming rig and RPi2.

Seeing speed improvements from 4mb/s while on wifi (close to router) to up to 58Mb/s on the powerline from 2 i7 based PC's... the dual core media/Nas PC still see's lower with maybe around 9Mb/s weirdly (potentially CPU bottleneck???)

Nope no sticker, there is a small one that says windows 8 but no product key. Because they have to make everything difficult of course...

if your using windows 10, you can actually re-install windows and it will activate itself. If you upgraded from windows 8.1 or whatever your key will be a generic key.

if your laptop is one from like acer or whatever, you may be able to restore windows back to factory settings. may even have a windows backup point that u could restore from a few days ago?

failing that use a program like ccleaner and clean out some of your old junk files, etc. Have a look at what is in your start-up list, see if there a useless programs eating your cpu. check and see what is running away, 4gb is not a whole lot, it may be getting filled rather easily... 

So I took everyone's advice on board and read further. At this time I decided to ditch raid altogether regarding raid 1 (which is all I was going to do due to needing to stick with windows at this time anyway) and just set up 2 sets of like drives. I did this due to not having perfect environment of multiple storage drives and a best case filesystem. If I had run raid 1, if raid fails I could still lose almost everything. I decided that I would use 1 desktop drive and setup media files commonly accessed through home group shares. On one of the Nas drives I placed more important document files and photos. I will also set local shares. I configured firewall rules to limit sharing (although in widows it says to everyone) only to 5 local ip address and I actually have incoming connections blocked on all other both internal and external ip's to the pc. I then setup a batch system that will mirror the contents of the desktop drive to the second desktop drive and the Nas drive to the other Nas drive based on what has changed filesystem wise and content wise as if it is more of a backup I guess rather than a concurrent write at the time. Why? Well I guess for raid 1 I didn't necessarily need the immediate write to 2 disks. Further this (from what I can gather) will limit unnecessary read/writes on the second disks for which the primary disk will be taking the brunt of the daily work load, in serving content to the TV, as well as sharing that content to all others on the network. I only add maybe a few files per day so a once daily at like 3am script will be all I need right now. I have been researching a powerline adaptor, but to see best results I would need one on the modem end and 2 (1 to where my gaming and building pcs are) and the second to where the TV is. I still want to do a proper Nas and I will in the future for sure thanks to all who threw in their thoughts/ideas
