    fredih reacted to Dilliebar in RAM crashing when set to 3600MHz   
    Hello, I’m having the same problem except I have 4 sticks of Hyper X 8GB 3600MHz RAM. So moving them around won’t do anything? 
     
    Everything seems to work fine in windows but when I play call of duty it just freezes and I have to restart the PC at 3600MHz.
     
    Asus X570 E Gaming
    Ryzen 3800XT
    Asus ROG STRIX 1080
     
    This is my first build so any help would be great!

    Simply because after an hour it was long done and had been removed already. They usually sell out within 15-30min, and then remove the segment about it. 
     
    I did get the notification email when it was posted at the same time as YT, it was there.

    The video was posted to FP at the same time as YT, but then removed once everything was sold out so it can be reuploaded without the section about how to apply, like they do on every drop.
    On YT you can use the creator studio to cut out part of a video, but on FP they have to delete and reupload.
     
    So yeah, it's all moot. The different upload schedule is intended when there are VAG drops so that people in different regions have a chance.

    This whole thing was (probably) due to some technical issues, I didn't see the video on FP at all, until some ten minutes ago, it's slighty redundant now, but if you want to read it, read it.
    What remains, for me at least, is some sort of explaination for the release schedule, on YT/FP. I haven't found an official answer to this, all I've seen is people complaining. If you found said needle in the haystack, please let me know.

    fredih reacted to TopDollar in How much salary/income does Linus and Luke make?   
    I've never really found it to be a rude question. Especially in the context here where OP is profiling the earning potential of an industry he/she is interested in.
     
    People just tend to be sensitive about the topic. Either feeling embarrassed they don't make enough, or condescending to people who make more. My coworkers and I openly discuss wages, although we all are making similar amounts in addition to our salaries being completely public information. I just don't necessarily discuss it with friends or family since there's a decent between the numbers. Not shy about it though.
     
    Probably not as much as you might think. I expect the majority of revenue goes right back into the company. I would expect enough to be comfortable. However there is a huge opportunity cost when it comes to time commitments. "Work" never really stops like a 9-5, 40 hour a week job does. Based on LMG job postings (which you can lookup), employees seem to be paid competitively with the industry, including some extended health benefits.

    Time for a bit of an Update, and anyone seeing this because they want to buy a case, or want to get more info on it.
    ---
    I've been using the Louqe for two Years now, and I'm still very much happy with it. It's travelled with me on planes about 6 times now, and I'm loving how small it is as much as ever!
    If you want to take your PC with you, make sure you put it into your suitcase with some sort of padding. A good thought when putting it in is - would it survive, if I dropped the suticase with the PC in it1 meter (or 3 feet)? If you'Re confident that it'll take that, you should be good. The case is more than sturdy, so it'll handle anything else by itself, the only other problem left would be loose components inside the case.
    But coming back to the size... I've encountered a problem. I've been wanting to get a GPU upgrade for some time now, since my old 980ti is getting a bit rusty in 3D modelling and rendering (C4D and AfterEffects). I was looking at the RTX 3090, thinking I was going to buy one, but then I found out that it's 3 slots wide, and qutie tall too. I've written back and forth with Louqe, adn they're apparently working on something to make an RTx 3090 fit. Haven't heard from them in a wile though, so it might take them a few months.
     
    One more Minus-point for the case is storage expansion. I don't have a NAS (yet), and my Google Drive is filling up rapidly. I've already got 3 external drives plugged into my PC at all times for different things, since there's no more room to expand inside the case. If you're tinking of building a SFF pc in there, just be aware of that, and go with large NVMe SSD's on your Mobo fom the get-go, you'll need them if you plan to keep your rig more than a year, and you're a data-hoarder like me.

    fredih reacted to Queasy Tiger in QLogic QLE2460 recognizs as Storage controller, not NIC. Need help.   
    Don't know if this helps at this point, but the QLE2460 is what's called a HBA (Host Bus Adapter) that connects to storage arrays and provides fibre channel access to them.
    This is not the same as a NIC and cannot support an IP protocol.

    fredih reacted to Maodelg in LTT Minecraft Server Issues   
    I agree that the server needs more attention. The overall community is getting more toxic, and some Moderators make it worse.
     
    Maybe some improved communication will help so we all can understand questions like:
     
    Why are Player warps taking so long? Why the portal below /spawn is still "protected by an invisible barrier"? Why were the restrictions to villager trading imposed? Better communication and progress reports over official communication platforms would greatly help the user unconformity and uneasiness.

    fredih reacted to ImBleu in LTT Minecraft Server Issues   
    Played for the last 6 months and agree that there are lot of very questionable decisions made by the staffing team which are anti-community and arguably quite damaging to the LTT/LMG brand. Not sure why they would associate themselves with such a damaging server.
     
    It honestly is kinda sad as a long time LTT follower and community member and avid Minecraft player to know that the would-be perfect server isn't so perfect. Obviously you can't please everyone but things like removing the suggestion forum to stop people trying to improve the server and telling players to go elsewhere isn't what was expected from such a nice community as ltt.

    fredih reacted to ruhtra in LTT Minecraft Server Issues   
    I'm kinda curious. What is up with the LTT Minecraft Server?
     
    From my experiences, the moderation team is:
      - Extremely Toxic, acting cruel and unprofessional towards the playerbase.
      - Insensitive, I've witnessed "offensive" jokes being made, arguably racist.
      - Abusive, punishing players for even questioning some of the Staffing team's actions.
     
    It seems kinda damaging to the LTT Brand. What is going so wrong?
     
     
    Edit: Before the comments saying that this should be on the official minecraft forums at ltt.gg, we've tried communicating on that, and our posts have either been locked, removed, or ignored.

    fredih got a reaction from arvid_haland in RGB fan not working! HEEELP   
    Question is, if your RGB header is adressable, and if the fan has adressable LEDs. I had the same problem with my fans, until I figured out that my MoBo had an adressable header, and my fans weren't adressable. Bought a Coolermaster RGB controller, and everything has worked flawlessly ever since. So look at how many pins the header has, how many the fan RGB header has, if they are both 3 or 4-pins, it has to do with the software. Update all the drivers, and maybe re-isntall the software.

    My favourite case so far (although it's Mini-ITX) is the Louqe Ghost S1. Sure, there's some flaws, but imo, there's no ITX case, that looks more simplistic, modern, and sexy than that. I wrote a review of it here:

    fredih got a reaction from Airdragonz in Louqe Ghost S1 Review   
    Hey all,
     
    This is going to be a review of the case, not my build in it, maybe I'll make a separate topic for that.
     
    I backed this case on Kickstarter after asking them (Louqe) if they could extend the campaign a little. I wanted to give them my money just one day after their official campaign had ended. They came through, and made a late backer option available. Their email correspondence was also always nice and polite, and as much as I know that backing Kickstarter projects is a bad idea, these guys really managed to convince me with the Videos Jay and especially Dave2D made. That Supreme look was what got me to back it in the end, although I'm generally not a fan of overpriced Chinese things. 
     
    So I waited... and waited, and the production got delayed, and delayed again, then there was a problem with the paintjobs, and I had to switch to a silver case instead of white.
     
    After waiting for almost a year, (I first asked them about backing the project in January, the White paintjob issue was in May), I finally got my case in the mail. 
    I won't go into the packaging much, but the case was double-boxed, one unmarked Cardboard shipping box, and a Louqe branded box (in the first picture below)  inside that. The TopHat was disassembled, in a separate plastic bag on top. 
    Everything was covered by a sheet of Styrofoam - the bad kind, that sounds like nails on a chalkboard when scraping against the box, and the stuff that loses little white particles.
     
    Right from the start, I thought this was going to be my favourite case to this day. The simplicity, engineering and the looks of this case are simply unmatched in my opinion.
    What do I mean by engineering? They thought of so many little things. For example, there are four holes in the grill (cna be seen in the second picture below), for screwing the TopHat onto the case with the grill in place, or potentially the Grill itself when used without the TopHat. Also, the side panels screw shut from the bottom, with two Torx screws for each side. At first glance, I rolled my eyes, when I realized they were Torx screws, but in hindsight, it was really clever to use that, since all the screws, and the wrench fit all the time. It all works together almost perfectly.
     
    I started building in it, and the process was a blast. Of course, I also didn't read the manual. Everything fit in there nicely, and I had almost no issues with the little space available. 
    A note about that - I didn't use custom cables, or cable manage much, since nothing will be visible, due to the nature of the case.
     
    The only thing that really annoyed me was, that my GTX 980 Ti Golden Edition didn't quite fit with the TopHat, so I had to make it fit. I had to separate the wires of my power supply, (which are sort of folded together like a ribbon cable) and even then, the hoses from my AiO CPU cooler always pushed the bracket up when not screwed down. 
    The TopHat is also badly engineered in my opinion, since the way that it screws together means, that the top grille has trouble fitting into it flush now. I tried not to use brute force to get it in, but since that didn't work... Yeah, I made that fit too. I'll post more pictures soon, of the insides, but that's it for now. 
     
    Upsides:
    - Looks absolutely stunning.
    - Compact, even travel friendly maybe?
    - Good interior layout, well designed
    - All aluminium outside (the main inside body is pressed sheet steel I believe)
    - Relatively light (again, travel friendly?)
     
    Downsides:
    - Bad design on the TopHat - tightens too much from sides to side (when looking at the case from the front) for the top grill to pop in.
    - Using springs as threading for the TopHat screws - Whose idea was this??? It's terrible.
    - Screws for the TopHat were too short, could barely reach when trying to install the TopHat. Longer screws (M3x8mm) would have been nice

    fredih reacted to QuintupleA in Watched the LTT video about the Eve V. Bought one. Huge mistake   
    Wanted a cheaper option than the Surface for work. Bought an Eve V after watching this video:
     
    Final cost: 1700€. Bought it in May, with original shipping estimate in June and I still haven't gotten it. Eve tech is refusing a refund, stating that it's "against policy", despite the EU laws clearly stating that I have a right to get it back after 30 days if they haven't shipped.
     
    But wait, there's more! You can't register an account on their forum atm (probably to keep people like me from complaining). AND EVEN MORE: even though they market themselves as European, their parent company is actually based in Hong Kong, so good fucking luck getting anything out of them.
     
    Yet another example of crowd funded shit not being worth it. If you're looking for a tablet like this, just bite the bullet and buy the established brand.
