  1. Why would you want to lock it down to prevent tampering, rather than educating users to simply not modify unless they know what they are doing, and leave the decision to the user? It also seems to go against the grain of hot swapping the configuration overall.
  2. Will say as an engineer who works for Micron (thanks Linus for dropping in to Boise last year ), I am so happy to see framework encourage this style of modularity to reduce e-waste and a product that finally meets the demands of more than one type of client for multiple generations. The removeable GPU being a huge boon to me as well as upgradeable mainboard. As a whole, the Dells, Asus, etc. of the world seem to have zero interest in selling lower volume products that don't sell you a whole new system. The Framework product model opens so many doors for repair, sustainability, and affordability down the road in a way that apple would never accept. Framework just epitomizes a lot of user first, environment first solutions that are actually practical. Love the product, love the public message, and love the transparency. As far as ECC support goes, with DDR5 having on die ECC optionally, I am less worried about that (I work on HBM, so I don't know all the details about DDR5 support on a vendor to vendor basis).
  3. As far as same performance, the 2080 TI is the closest competition but if I had to pick up a GPU for cheap in the mean time I would just snag a local 1060 6gb from a buddy you maybe know, and survive on that until pricing become reasonable because as of now its just horrible to be buying a card.
  4. My buddy was looking for this case for a while and I regularly used this case for custom builds and this case has just disappeared off the face of the earth. I love this PC for myself and I think in some ways it is superior to the O11 Dynamic (easily removable bottom filter and prefer 2nd PC mount more than drive caddies anyways)
  5. Ah i see, then i just didnt read well, If thats the I would roll back your drivers and see if the behavior persists and id double down on glenalz recommendation to stick to one or the other. If the behavior does not persist with a rollback all I can say is that AMDs incompetence with drivers is infuriating...
  6. TBH in my experience i used to just use external tuning such as MSI afterburner to set a manual curve but I don't own an AMD card anymore so I cant validate that but its a shot in the dark.
  7. So to be honest this is a bit of a celebration because my R720 now has dual E5 2680 V2s and it also has 320 GB of DDR3 sooo.... Woop Woop! I've been folding with it and its great for that purpose but now I need a machine for guests and woopty doo, I'm making more USB images. I just got fired, but before that we were experimenting at our local IT store with PXE boot and how to get it working nicely in a docker image if possible. Now im looking into MDT possibly or just running PXE in a VM (that is to say PXE or MDT on a server 2012 R2 VM with 2 cores 4 threads). In short, is there a way to run PXE boot in a docker image where it pulls ISOs from an network share or if necessary to just have the ISOs local? BTW if you recommend some better formatting for this post, please PM me and ill correct it for future notice, haven't posted in like 3-4 years
  8. If that is true, then why would the i9 be pushing the VRM any more than the i7s? The fact is that their 3000+ machine is having VRM issues, with no clear solutions other than changing the watts it is drawing. Also in the Reddit, you can see that apple's stock turbo setting is 125W. I wouldn't trust their janky cooling solution to cool anything north of 60W. It is just a short-coming. Apple needs to fix this with more than a 2$ thermal pad.
  9. Started with a budget build for 600$ but in March 2015 but the this 7th was my 16th so there it is. I have a devastator keyboard combo mouse and some altec Lansing speakers but they aren't listed http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9zLW23 https://goo.gl/photos/PGY2N3zGX2AcEZV26
  10. Oops I meant msi gaming app but I'll see if I can track down the gaming app on major geeks
  11. I have an fx 8320e @ 4.5 and an r9 390 that maxes all my games like crysis and gta v just fine with no bottlenecks just eats a lot of power like 680w
  12. So after a recent update via live update 6 broke my version of msi afterburner I attempted to use an older version that came with my r9 390 and it was still broken. What is wrong with it? Is this usually true with msi software?
  13. The only thing I'm wondering is where to put the res and pump the r9 390 is enormous
  14. Do you think it would look good? I will eventually get hard-line if I even decide not to aio my CPU and GPU
