Well the good news is your 9900k is worth a ransom in gold so you should upgrade lol. 
 
It's cheaper to get an 11700k and motherboard than a 9900k and motherboard sells for lol. 

IIRC, benchmarks for top of the line 30 series with pcie 3 vs pcie 4 showed a negligible difference on most games.
 
There's a bunch of factors that can play into whether pcie 4 makes an impact, and if the new Intel GPUs are any indication, GPU architecture might matter quite a bit. It's why Intel GPUs definitely have way better performance with ReBAR enabled, and perhaps the same with pcie 4, compared to the other 2 GPU makers where there's mixed results on ReBAR enabled.
 
All of this is complicated by how differently games handle rendering too.

i'm seeing 27.5k after googling some scores, so maybe that 2% is from the pcie? I'm betting the cpu itself not the pcie gen 3 would hold it back in actual games.

Ive used that for 2 years now, never had any issues!

Issues can come if you dont seal the lid back on, since the CPU gets hot and cold all the time it draws tiny bits of moisture in, and that makes the LM "Corrode" the copper, but other than that, no problem doing it like he is doing!
 
EDIT: Gallium, which is a "ingredient" in LM, is actually made of small amounts of copper, and the same mix is used alot on solarcells, so, its not the copper`s fault, its moisture!

RAM is 4x8GB of Corsair vengeance LPX 3200 DDR4 running at 3600MHz (I don't know how to do RAM timings yet...)

Case is a Corsair Crystal 460x

Oho I don't think I slapped my (sadly not the greatest) pics and info on my latest rebuild in here yet:
 
i7 5960X - 4.7Ghz/3.7Ghz 1.3v/1.1v core/uncore
32GB (4x8GB) HyperX Predator DDR4, running at XMP which is (IIRC) 3200Mhz 16-18-18-36
EVGA X99 Classified
AMD Radeon VII
Samsung 1TB 970 Evo in an ASUS Hyper M.2 card
Corsair RM1000i
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG

Loop is:
2x Hardware Labs 360GTS rads
Watercool Heatkiller IV Pro Acetal CPU block
EKWB Radeon VII RGB Acetal GPU block
EKWB D5 pump/res combo
EKWB ZMT soft tubing, EKWB stubbies with zip ties, various other EKWB fittings and a Bitspower or two
6x Noctua iPPC NF-F12 2000s on a Phanteks hub
 

 

 
Did my best on line routing and cable management, came out the cleanest it's ever been ?
 
Ooooooooo that's nice! Is the rad on the back of the PC? I assume you have a pump hidden back there too? Tis quite a clean rig, noice tiny footprint too. 

Build i did for a friend some time ago!

Photorec is different, it's to recover individual files by copying them to another drive, with all metadata (names, folder structure) lost.
Testdisk should recognise the deleted partitions and just recreate the partition table so the drive would work again as is.
 
You want the 2nd. And you still want to do it on a copy of the drive you'd make first.

I can't say if they exist or not, but I certainly have never seen one. If they do exist, they're most likely fucking expensive.

Welcome to the LTT forums! Any computer can be used as a server, even your phone, what dictates the design and setup of a server is the task(s) that one would want to perform on said server and the reliability that such task(s) dictate. If you want help assembling a server, there are two things we need to know: What is your budget? and: What do you intend to do with this server?

Congrats bro!
