chris reacted to LordErrorprone in New Platform Launch Feedback & FAQ
First I wanted say that I have no problems with you guys enabling people to pay for early access to your videos. But as of now I see no reason to use vessel over YouTube. It looks to me like the "hd" videos on vessel are in 720p, that's a massive downgrade from the 4k and 1080p60 videos we have been getting on YouTube for awhile now. The interface of vessel could also use a lot of work, finding videos that I want to watch is much harder than on YouTube despite the fact that YouTube's interface isn't that good either. So I will not be using vessel over YouTube despite the free year and early access to videos until 4k is supported.

chris got a reaction from Najuno in I done goofed.
Planning on sticking with it, currently reinstalled my h100i. Will get the 780ti, make sure it's fine and use it for a week of so until I can get an EK block, then cool the whole system. Mainboard is fine and I don't think it was an issue with the PCIe slots given that I installed another GPU and that ran fine. I have a spare system which I can borrow the PSU from, think it's 350w. I will investigate what the hell happened with the 670 blocks in the morning.

MFW all this happened:
yeahhhh no not really, just spending as much as possible on my setup. This sucked pretty hard though.

chris reacted to looney in LTT Storage Rankings
Hardware
CASE: Norcotek RPC4220
PSU: Corsair HX850
MB: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
CPU: AMD Phenom II 965
HS: Stock AMD heatsink
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333
RAID CARD 1: IBM M1015, Flashed with "IT" firmware
RAID CARD 2: HPT Rocket Raid 2680
SSD: Crucial C300 120GB SSD
HDD 1: 9x 2TB Seagete ST2000DM001
HDD 2: 5x 2TB Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA632
HDD 3: 2x 2TB Seagate ST32000542AS
HDD 4: 4x 4TB Seagete ST4000DM000
Software and Configuration:
My server is running windows server 2008R2 and im using FlexRAID to make my array.
My main array consists of 15 2TB and 4 4TB drives in RAID 6, so I end up with 34.5TB actual storage space on that array.
The remaining drives are used as iSCSI target's and one 2TB drive is for active torrents and usenet download's /uploads.
Usage:
I use the storage for movies and series, i have media players around the house that access it.
Its also for backing up my computers.
Backup:
The is arrays backed up to LiveDrive, this is a online cloud backup service. (i have 100/100 Mbps connection)
Additional info:
I'm using the AMD processor because it was a leftover from my previous server, i will upgrade it eventually because of its high power consumption.
Photo's:
Hotswappable drive bays of the Norco case.
Internal shot of the server.
Drives as listed in Disk Management.
Drives as listen on Computer.
My Rack, in the basement, right next to our water main, and the main power line... SAFETY FIRST!!! :D :D (The bottom 4 HP servers are not in use)
I have since added a second super-micro server on the top as a backup router.

Actually crying right now. Thanks for your support guys.
I've missed my baby.

chris got a reaction from blknight88 in Pass-phrases still not good enough?
why not just use RSA keys? 2048 bit is enough for everything at the moment, but I still use 4096 bit keys.

i have an old iMac which is folding. Can the raspberrypi fold?

chris reacted to colonel_mortis in BSOD memory management
Reduce the overclock on your CPU. The wide and random array of errors in the dump files, some software and some memory, suggest that it's an unstable overclocking issue. Return it to stock, and if it's solved, turn it back up with more voltage, or turn it up less.

chris got a reaction from Norco in Raspberry Pi air cooling solution!
I decided that as a small project I would make a heatsink for my raspberrypi. The Pi can easily hit 800 under load if you OC, and I decided that I would try to reduce that. In the next few weeks I'll make a raspberrypi benchmarking script that also records temperatures.
The whole thing cost me about £8, with more than enough leftovers to make a good 5-6 more.
The heatsink: http://www.amazon.co.uk/45mm-10mm-Heatsink-Dissipate-Cooling/dp/B008OTKRY8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1365346980&sr=8-3&keywords=heatsink+fins
The thermal compound (also semi-adhesive): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Cooling-MX-4-Thermal-Compound/dp/B0045JCFLY/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1365348274&sr=1-1&keywords=thermal+compound
The planning took me about 10 minutes, making sure that the heatsink I cut would be the right size, and then another 10 to saw and apply the heatsink. The CPU/GPU heatsink is 12x12mm (roughly), and the LAN controller's heatsink is 8x8mm. After cutting the heatsinks out with a hacksaw, I applied a small amount of thermal compound to each of the small heatsinks and applied them. The heatsinks fit and now the whole thing will hopefully run a lot cooler, although I have not tested it.
and yes I do have the original model B, of which there are only 10,000.

i7-3770k OC'd to 4.6GHz
2 x MSI GTX 670 PE OC'd a little
doing GPU and SMP WUs, just started.
Also i have an Apple iMac (late 2009) folding. (only thing it will ever do)
