No that's the speed of the integrated GPU (on the CPU). There is no limit to the GPU speed on a dedicated GPU. You are fine to pair it with any card.

If you think that’s what net neutrality is then you’ve been fooled by misinformation campaigns. Net neutrality does not give the government power to block sites at all, it just says that all data needs to be treated the same so that certain data can NOT be blocked or throttled.

1U servers are already cramped for space. If you can squeeze in a few extra drives by using 2.5” then it’s a better option. Also they block less airflow and they obviously didn’t need the extra space to get a ton of storage in there. I’m also wondering if having too many NAND chips on a single controller will have negative effects on random read/writes and it’s better to wait for larger chips than cramming a ton of smaller chips on a single PCB?

Which is more or less the same as I said in separating out the roles. Keep research separate from education, combining the two means both sides suffer. Hire teaching professors to teach and researchers to research. It's kinda like a company hiring an engineer to do engineering, accounting, training, PR work, and management simultaneously when all they should really be doing is engineering.

Yea, that’s not true at all. Budgets are being slashed every year (thanks Congress, the cost of one of those tanks the army doesn’t even want could fund our lab for a decade) and most grants are given preferentially to big, well funded labs leaving the rest of us clawing for basic supplies and reagents.
 
Our molecular docking core runs simulations using 1080s and 1080Tis and we are perpetually short on computational power (the job queue is always growing). The core will buy a couple new ones whenever the budget allows and once a tower runs out of space (we run 8 per system), we kill several months of budget to get a new tower to add to the cluster.
 
Science is already hard enough when you’re well funded but regularly putting projects on standby because you run out of reagents or have to repair 20yo equipment yourself because replacing it is 6mo of budget and a tech coming out is half that, is a massive resource drain.
 
We have been the world leader in scientific research for 100+yrs but now we think that science is a waste of money unless there is a profit to be made and we’re falling further and further behind. If people want to make America great then maybe we should support the research that lays the foundation for every single tech that industry is able to use for innovation, progression, and prosperity.
 
It seems like half the people here think that researchers have a ton of money to spend? That's only true for maybe 5% of labs at the top few universities but the vast majority of academic labs are not limited by a lack of interesting research prospects or lack of breakthroughs, the number 1 limiting factor is budget. Every PI (PhD/Professor that runs a lab) I know spends the vast majority of their time writing grant proposals and seeking new funding sources and rely of grad students and lab techs to do the actual research. Ever wonder why professors seem to spend so little time concerned with the courses they teach and TAs do a lot of teaching? It's because they have spend all their time trying to fund the lab using a constantly shrinking pool of funding.

Slightly off topic:
 
You have a 75hz monitor? Why wouldn't you cap the framerate at 75 so you're not wasting power?
The screen tearing is because your frame-rate is above 75fps. Cap it at 75 and you won't get tearing (the free-sync doesn't help at all with a 1080Ti and even if it did it wouldn't help above 75hz anyway).

Hemp is (kinda) legal sure, but extracts from hemp are technically not legal. You can occasionally find stores that sell hemp extracts or CBD extracts in states where weed is still illegal but officially, if you make a hemp concentrate it is no longer legal and falls under the CSA. Those stores are technically breaking the law but it is officially federally illegal to possess hemp-based CBD extracts.

The weed thing is weird. That’s the gov (kinda) deciding to not enforce federal law in states with their own medical/recreational laws. They can however choose to enforce it again whenever they want.
 
NN on the other hand was a regulation that got removed, they did NOT make NN illegal. States have the constitutional right to create laws that do not override federal jurisdiction. Since there is no law that says NN is illegal (although Pai tried to add in an amendment to do exactly this), which means that states can choose to make their own laws regarding this since the FCC decided to repeal the existing regulations.
 
Those two are distinctly different situations. I’m glad my state decided to take it into their own hands, we’re not exactly full of progressive constituents but I’m happy the legislators decided to force NN in the state. Hopefully other states will follow soon.

Hey man... there are dozens of us I tell you, dozens!

Jesus man... get organized, nobody needs that many tabs at once... it's okay to close a page and open it again later.
 
Having said that, if you're running out of 32GB (I assume? 4x8GB?) with a browser, games, and non-gigapixel photoshop projects... you're doing something wrong. If I can train an non-optimized machine learning algorithm to run a 10+ million complex variable prediction model with less than 20GB of RAM used, then your porn and games should not use that much either.

There's an example comparing stereo to virtual surround here in this video, at 2min 43s. You can experience the lack of angles on stereo creating ambiguous imaging , and experience that ambiguity go away with virtual surround. It's specifically due to the better front-back performance you can get with virtual surround.
 

for a few seconds that should be okay (at stock). Just look for the POST and turn it off immediately afterwards.

That means you don't have adequate heat transfer from the CPU to the block.
Most of the time the issue is a bad mount causing poor transfer from the IHS to the block, change the thermal paste and remount it as flush and evenly as possible. The difference you are seeing is almost certainly from this.
The other possible issue is bad transfer from the CPU to the IHS (Intel only) which has been an issue for heavy OCers and can be fixed by delidding, but this would not explain such a huge difference and is probably not your issue.
 
For reference my i7-6800k with an H110i GTX after 15+ min under load sits at 62C while the water temp sits at about 43C. Even without delidding you should be getting the CPU and water temp within 25C or so of each other after extended load. If you don't then you need to remount it better.
 
If you AIO liquid is sitting near room temp then getting a bigger one wouldn't change a thing since it's already keeping the liquid as cool as possible and a bigger rad wouldn't change that. A bigger rad would only help if the liquid temp is high and the rad can't dissipate the heat well enough to keep up with heat generated.

your power limit is set to 50%... there's your problem...

No, it is not worth it for 99% of people. It makes almost no difference with general tasks, OS, or games.

Could be a failing PSU. Do you have another one you can try?

What is his deal? Even if he can’t see the difference, why does it matter so much to him? For the rest of us the difference is night and day. I can instantly tell the difference between 1080p and 4k YouTube no matter what resolution the monitor is. The bitrate difference is massive and the artifacting at 1080p is relatively massive. But at this point that’s not what this is even about anymore he’s adamant to the point of bigotry... it’s almost funny to watch the conversation from the outside. Oh well, he’s convinced himself that we’re all delusional and he’s the only one who can see through it. Que sera, sera.

I wouldn't bother if I were you. Just use the second SSD as an independent drive, move your files and larger programs to it and keep the OS on the main SSD. Less hassle, much less risk than raid, and allows you to manually distribute loads to the drive you prefer,

With streaming sites (especially YouTube) it absolutely does make a huge difference... but it has nothing to do with the resolution. It’s because the bitrate served is resolution dependent. You can try it yourself. Use a 1080p screen and compare 1080p YouTube vs 4k YouTube (especially with moving scenes and foliage artifacting). You will notice a massive difference in video quality (even works with 1080p vs 1440p).
 
I always watch YouTube videos at 4k on 1080+p screens and watch in 1080p or 1440p on my laptops (which are 768p and 900p). There is absolutely a massive increase in quality even considering the interpolation.
 
For example: YouTube uses ~8Mbps for 1080p30 and ~35-45Mbps for 4k30. Personally, when rendering 1080p30 h.264 videos I use at the very least 45Mbps to minimize compression artifacts. That’s also why you should upscale 1080p footage to 4k before uploading, you get a noticeable increase in quality compared to uploading in its native 1080p resolution due to YT’s compression metrics.
