Hey guys, I have a Plugable Thunderbolt 4 dock, which is supposed to support up to 4 displays at up to 4K each. The issue is, there seems to be a documented issue where the Nvidia drivers have had issues with USB-C and Thunderbolt displays. The only option seems to be to downgrade to a quite old Nvidia driver (512.95 specifically), which is more than a year and a half old. The dock seems to work fine when on the older driver, however I'm getting noticeably worse performance in newer games. Plugable's support site mentions a newer driver that supposedly works (532.03), however I haven't had any luck with that version. I made sure to run DDU before trying each driver version to make sure I had a clean install. I've also tried disabling Optimus and only using the dedicated GPU. I was wondering if anyone had experience with these issues, and had a better solution?

I've been running a nas based on a HP DL380p Gen8 with a Netapp DS4243 shelf and an LSI SAS9200-16E HBA card. This setup has been running fine for a few years. I finally decided to replace the LSI card with an HP H221 so I can get proper fan control back, but it refuses to POST with the Netapp shelf connected, just sits at "Initializing..." forever. When I disconnect the shelf, it boots fine. Nothing shows up in the iLO log either. I already tried updating the card's firmware to the latest version, but it didn't make a difference. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, Eric

I have a HP DL380p G8 that I use for virtualization and I’d like to upgrade the CPUs to something with more cores. I currently have two E5-2643v1 installed. It looks like the best option on the official approved hardware list is a E5-2690v2. Does anyone know if this supports anything better?

I'd love the new Blade 14. Maybe make my own wet laptop video....

That would be perfect for a bunch of things.

I need a new headset. The dog ate my old one.
