    Yeah, that's bad.. I totally agree with you there. A tech company should know better than to suggest dual channel is the same. Well, I wish you luck with it. I really hope you get what you should, which is a replacement/refund if they can't repair... it's not your fault that they aren't playing nice with customs. Please update this as and when something shifts, I don't like a story not having an ending... and hopefully a happy one in this case.

    I'd have a good look/ask around about buyer protection/fit for purpose etc laws as it stands for goods for consumers... I've no idea what that would be as I am from the UK and we have a few things that we could do when it comes to the sale of goods. Small claims court might be good, but you could be looking at a substantial wait possibly to get there I'm guessing. Do you have some kind of citizens/consumer advice bureau? that might be a good place to start if GIgabyte are still giving you the run around.

    How long have you had the card? Where did you buy it from? You might be able to do a chargeback at the bank from wherever you bought it from as the vendor is basically not cooperating with a repair/refund by not filling in paperwork. Or try to push a complaint with head office of Gigabyte saying you can't get a card returned for repair, then they should refund you then.

    Hmm, that is strange indeed. I've never encountered that before, changing port and/or trying different cables has always fixed it on any of my pcs. Seems like it might be software related then or possibly bios/firmware... I think it might be time to contact nvidia.
  5. paddy-stone
    You tried a different cable too?
  6. paddy-stone
    Try a different DP cable and/or port on the GPU.

    I installed win 11 the other day on my main PC, man the install is fast nowadays, pretty sure it was only like 5-10 mins. 

     

    Also, noticed how little software I actually need on that pc now. I have most stuff I NEED on my always on windows [server], that's low enough power for this purpose, plus fast enough when I need it to be. I mostly don't even need to turn on my main pc at all, last time before the recent win 11 install was like 3 months ago 🤣  I just use the browser and all common daily tasks on the win [server] build. Only when I need a fast recode of video and other stuff that uses a lot of cpu-gpu power, do I turn on my main pc.

     

    I am still in the testing phase, but I will offload a LOT of the processes from my win[server] to my OMV build, that's at the moment only running on my old HP microserver gen 8 with a dual core celeron... I tell you what though, that thing can still handle a lot of stuff. I have an old SSD in there even, hooked up through USB 3.0 as the boot drive, it's a Samsung 830 64GB that's not evry fast by today's SSD standards, only barely better than a HDD for read/write speeds, but still better for IO speeds by far. Have a few dockers running, gluetun for VPN, sabnzb, sonarr, radarr, readarr, jellyfin, plex, and a few others... will be adding more too probably. And yet even with all that lot running the CPU load was still 0.0% and RAm usage like 22% of the 8GB installed - for most of the time... and all the storage was for testing purposes run off 1x 6TB USB 3.1 drive, which is SMR as well. But transfers were still maxing out the Gigabit connection most of the time.

     

    I will probably set up this config on different hardware once the testing phase has gone to my satisfaction. But learned a fair bit about docker during it even thus far, had to sort out a few things that weren't able to find on video guides... made me get to know what I was doing more that copy paste into a TEXT FILE and then change values to get it ready for pasting into putty SSH into OMV/docker.

    OK weird thing here... it's not a PROBLEM as such, just can't wrap my head around how it happened. OK, so I got all my nzb, jellyfin etc stuff set up in OMV. After checking that things were working fine with folders and permissions etc, have started copying over my configs from my other server. And now the weird part, I was then checking things with sabnzb, got the configs side by side ready to copy the relevant info... and it's already there, my server info including username and password is already filled out... and can't work out how it did it. I'm pretty positive I didn't already do it, as I was still messing with getting gluetun to work with sabnzb to route my traffic through etc. Anyway, just thought I'd share this weird ghost in the machine experience

    Have been running Jellyfin now for a couple years approx. I love it most of the time, I can run many instances at the same time when I have to. I like that I can transcode with my GPU when needed without paying for premium service, also anyone that's got an account and is on my home network can download stuff directly to their devices from Jellyfin... it's a small thing I know, cos they can connect to my server and do that anyway, but it's sometimes easier when they can use a GUI and view info like synopsis and such. Sometimes it can be a pain, it doesn't refresh when it should to show new media, but that could be down to the device viewing it, I usually pre-empt it by force closing, and re-opening Jellyfin whenever I go onto it... and then it's fine.

    No, the ironwolf drives are definitely CMR

    OK, googled it for you https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-create-new-folder-in-windows-10/88f3fdc5-26fe-42d0-b02e-38288cedf7f8

    Have you tried making a folder on the desktop the other way, ie open file explorer, go to desktop, make a new folder?
  13. paddy-stone
    LOL, we all pretty much said the same thing at the same time.
  14. paddy-stone
    Maybe, but doesn't hurt to try it as I said... I'd check your other connections also.
  15. paddy-stone
    Looks like you don't have anyhting in the CPU-FAN connector to me, but can't tell exactly from those pics. You might be able to disable the CPU fan warning though in the bios, if you can get in... I would suggest just plugging in any fan to the cpu fan just to try it.

    Ahh man, was trying to work out where I had gone wrong while trying to set up jellyfin and sonarr etc on OMV in a docker. After like 30 mins I finally saw that I had left out  \  at the end of the script on one line  - man that's frustrating 🤣

    As @Sant_HHsaid above, the low 30-80mbps you're seeing when downloading in chrome is likely down to whatever server you're downloading whatever from. The 37MB/s you're getting on Steam is awesome considering it's approx 296mbps.

    ^This. It's how everybody used to mount the PSU before cases started having side or bottom vents where the PSU sits inside the case.

    It could be a very frustrating time trying to get your old windows install working properly. I personally almost always opt for a re-install, unless the change was minimal, like from a Ryzen 2600x to a Ryzen 3600 etc.. where the changes are so minimal that the drivers etc should be mostly the same.

    What about if your household includes a child that lives between 2 residences. What about if you yourself watch netflix on your phone wherever you happen to be, etc. There are multiple legit reasons for people to be using accounts outside of the physical address where that account if paid for. Doesn't bother me, never have been a subscriber to netfux, and never will. Same goes for most subscription based accounts, only exception for me is youtube premium as I technically live in Turkey, where it's very cheap

    If you're paying for gigabit, you need to get in touch with them. BTW when you're doing a speed test to check you're getting what you should, you need to do it connected directly into the router, not through powerline etc. I don't know what model of iphone you have, but it might not have a modem capable of receiving gigabit speeds, so again that's not something we know right now. Best thing you could do is get in touch with virginmedia and ask them to check your connection as you don't seem to be getting what you pay for... they will undoubtedly ask you to jump through some hoops to check your speeds during the call, so you may want to make sure you CAn check it properly by running a cable directly from the router to your pc/laptop.
  22. paddy-stone
    What speeds do you actually get? and are you testing the wired connection? or are you talking about the wireless connection (wifi) speeds? If you're not getting anywhere near the speeds you should get when using wired, then it might be worth calling them and asking why? IIRC you should've been given a minimum guaranteed speed when you signed up. If it's the wireless speeds where you're not getting great performance it could be down to a number of things. Changing the router could get you better speeds, however I think just adding an access point or mesh system could get you better wifi speeds.

    Look, I don't wanna get banned anymore than any…

    I love soup. Perfect with some fresh bread, crusty or not. I also use mushroom soup instead of cheese in a carbonara, usually use chicken and bacon, with a little onion and garlic... usually have penne pasta with it, but almost any pasta will do. It tastes pretty much the same as if you used cheese. Pasta is one of my favourites, I eat a fair amount of pasta and rice dishes, lasagne is one of my specialties... the only problem is I ALWAYS burn my mouth with it, it retains it's heat more than any other substance known to man

    ^ This. Finally someone gets it correct. In the UK it's the same, the difference might be that if the company realize their mistake, they can REQUEST the goods back that were sent in error at their own cost and at the customers behest (ie if the customer acknowledges this, and at their convenience. so basically if they agree to give you back the goods if they acknowledge they got them, and in their own time).

    Was just about to say that too
