  1. FYI . I tried to rather old cards an nvidia gt 520 and a amd hd 3450 and I was able to run a display off both cards one dvi (nvidia) and the other HDMI. SO I am fairly certain this will work . I am going to try tomorrow with a 750ti and my r9 380
  2. ok l;et me rephrase thequestion . If I have two graphics cards 1050's lets say not in SLI. Can I run 8 monitors(which is 2x max supported for a single card 4 on each card)??
  3. ok if thats so for my sanity sake, lets say I buy another 1070 or a 1050(just for extra monitor support) would that work. ?
  4. Hey guys, I know this sounds ridiculous, but they are 2 small monitors for my flight sim here is my current setup so for now I am adding 2 7" lcd displays like these (https://www.amazon.com/Tontec-Raspberry-Display-AT070TN90-Controller/dp/B00G60FJNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478481942&sr=8-1&keywords=7"+lcd+display ) and really going to be adding a thrid shortly after likely a 10" . Problem is the my GPU atm does not allow me to have that many monitors. I have been planning on buying a 1070 here in a month or so. My question is if I get a 1070 can I leave my 380 ( I will move it down to the secondary PCI slot) and use the 1070 for my main monitors and have the 3 smaller ones plugged in and utilize the Max supported monitors for each card?? Thanks any advice would be awesome Heres kind of what I am thinking

  6. hey i got it downloaded I am trying to find ppl to play with
  7. Hey today I noticed really bad loading times and sometimes windows not responding when say going thru files. I checked disk usage and it was at 100% unless i closed absolutely everything then it goes to 0(obviosuly). CrystalDisk shows that the drive in a GOOD status, although it does seem to have some errors. Am I correct on thinking that this drive is mostly going bad or about to fail completely?
  8. So I blew one of my old logitech speakers, I had them for a long time. So time to buy new speakers . I really like these https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-MS16-Compact-Stereo-Speaker/dp/B00181T20O?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00181T20O&linkCode=as2&linkId=LY2KUUPFNCX55VU3&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl&tag=teksynd-20 but I also like having a good amount of bass. So I would want a sub woofer also. 2 part question, 1) what would be a good sub? 2) how would they connect to the speakers?I dont see a spot to plug a sub into the speakers, would I use the sub output from my mobo? Thanks for any advice, If you have any other suggestions for maybe a decent set of powered monitors w a sub, Im open to suggestions.
  9. Yea Tango, just search it in the app store. Not sure why that was a question
  10. I just bought a Honor 5x off newegg for $199 and has been awesome. I came from a lg risio so I hoped/expected it to be a world difference and it was. My only issue is that the wifi doesnt pick up the 5ghz bandwidth. Other than that it runs awesomely.
  11. you can call or text them, lol . but for video calling I have used tango before, its ok. and there are a ton of messenger apps. Anything specific your trying to do?
  12. try this to solve the c++ install error https://steamcommunity.com/app/313630/discussions/1/412447613578071879/
  13. what other option do you think you have? you could remove the low profile bracket entirely, but still run the change of it coming out of the pci slot. other than that you either make something or buy something. possibly if you ahve another card that has the regular bracket you can see if you can switch them I have done this with NIC's in the past but sometimes the screw holes dont line up .
  14. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/162067786317?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true http://www.amazon.com/DJI-controller-transmitter-DJ6-California/dp/B00LDFB79O the amazon description says that the controller works with dji phantom 1 & 2 so I guess if you can find a dji phantom 2 controller should work
  15. I order quite alot of stuff thru amazon, almost a weekly basis whether for work or myself, I know that things may happen. But I have grown extremely tired of amazon thinking refunding the shipping is compensation. I dont really care to any responses ppl have this is a rant, and I know it. I think what really ticked me off and as far as I have realized that the customer service agents I talked today seemed to be using google translate to speak English, the grammar was horrible. and then the typical auto response copy and pasted then when I asked to speak to the supervisors supervisor, they tell me that I can only get one by phone so I provide my cell number and I get a call which Suprise Surprise is just amazon customer service regualr rep that has no Idea whats going on and I have to explain my self yet again. when I finally do get a supervisor, he begins to tell me that the package is out for delivery, when I have already called the UPS facility and they told me its sitting in the warehouse not out for delivery. Straight argues with me before I prove to him that when a ups package is out for delivery it shows as just that on the tracking "Out for delivery" . He argues with me that he knows the shipping carriers and ups never says out for delivery. Then I showed him proof buy telling him to look at one of my previous orders that was shipped with UPS. and it showed out for delivery. and then hangs up on me IM A FUCKING PISSED at this point. its one thing to maybe leave me on hold but to disconnect the call... unfucking reasonable . . . at this point I am asking for the entire price of the order refunded, but still getting my cell phone and case . Im too pissed off to keep writing.
  16. so what if your mobo supports it you should be able to.
  17. maybe this will help
  18. whats it on? the senior thesis? or dissertation for that matter?
  19. Fuck that you dont want to skim it or read it then go on, I am not re writing this for your pleasure
  20. Yea sure sry I didnt update this . . . Kinda forgot and have been busy. So far I have 3 Esxi host setup , I purchased Dell R710's from ebay, and before all the other IT Admins start saying to buy from manufacturers to get warranties and replacement parts quick, yes I know this but I did not have that option and needed to find something. Yes I took a HUGE gamble on buying from ebay but I also did not buy from a random seller I did my research, the seller was PC server parts http://stores.ebay.com/PC-Servers-and-Parts-Inc they have a very good rating as a seller and I actually called them before hand and got some more information about the machines, which was nice they helped and were professional as I could ask. Not to mention I paid $430 for a dell R710 with 2x Intel Xeon X5650 Hex-core , 48GB of Ram , dell Perc 6/i . and upon arrival was extremely well packed in a double box with the expanding spray foam( I forgot the name) once I received and setup the first machine I had the business buy another for my second host. Both installed ESXi without a hitch , setup IPMI on both allowing me to power on and off remotely. For the NAS' so Im a little drunk now and I dont want to take the time to find the exact parts and I dont believe they are in a previous post so Ill update that later. But I bought Norco 20 bay Hotswappable case , ASRock server LGA1151 mobo , forget what kind of xeon and 16gb of ram , LSi HBA card that has 4 SFF8087 connections . working within the norco case as stated in the previous post was a BITCH , really jsut the part of plugging in the stuff to the backplane the molex and sff8087 were hard to get especially with my large hands. Other than that the Machines have been operating smoothly come to find out that the ASrock board I purchased in the install manual show you how to install FREEnas over the IPMI , I didnt not do this but neat, and also sweet that the board obviously is compatible with freeNAS, Yup if you didnt knwo I am using FreeNAS in a enterprise environment. And dont regret it one bit its working amazing, and my options arent tied like going with Vsan or Open-e(this one IMO is a clear rip of freenas but shittier and payware, with half the options). Network, this is the most recent problem I have been dealing with, first off I am not the best Network Admin , I mean I got the basics down but when trying to diagnose an issue deep within a switch , I am lost , predicting what a network would do is something that I can not do. I purchased a Cisco Managed Gigabit switch, from amazon for about $230. if youve read up I believe I mention all the switches in the business being 10/100 , ridiculous!!!!!!!!! But when I introduced the gigabit switch into the network I was unable to switch the still physical machines to the new switch and was only able to move the ESxi host to the new switch but then bridged(again a networking term I am prolly misusuing but I made a short cable to go from one switch to another.) This resulted in a ridiculous bottle neck on the internal network in loading some internal web pages from linux machines on the VM. (check out the first post with the nightmare pics) I found a temp fix for some reason whether its the fact that the internal network was taking a long time to resolve the hostname . not sure, but if the user jsut used the actual IP address of the server hosting the webpage it loaded almost immediately where as if you used the FQDN(fully qualified domain name) it could take up to 10 minutes!!!!!!! I always was looking at the vm to see what the network was like on that and it wasnt being stressed or even at its limit telling me the bottle neck had to be within the 2 switches, so actually this morning I switched all ESXi host to the old 10/100 switch for sanity sake and people could load what they needed. This is why I am drunk.... lol .... Today for some reason the internet was extremely slow .. im talking dialup speed. . at best .. 1 mb down 2 up ..... we are suppose to have a 50 down 50 up connection ( which is bad enough for a business to have and I am working on getting this bandwidth up'd) so after countless staring at the switches realizing I had done nothing that would cause this I called our ISP which is century link(I HATE CENTURY LINK , had them at home and they suck) and submitted a ticket, so far they have sent emails saying its being evelaveted to another group or higher tier. I had to contact them , I was xtremely stressed at this point finally getting someone to read the notes and inform me of what was going on whether they saw an issue on there side or not. and they were seeing a loss in connection between them and my modem. SO phew it wasnt my doing(so far at this point).. I contacted century link at 11AM MST and its now 3:48PM MST still have not heard from century link, and Im drunk of a sixer of Stella Artois...... I will try to take some pics of the server room now as I have taken down about 7 or 8 physcial machines, the networking is still garbage but withing the next month I hope to have that and the Windows server upgraded to 2012 r2 at this point I may be able to have an actual weekend off, what a thought. . . glad some are interested in this I will definitely try to keep this updated. Biggest challenge so far: Figuring out the correct Microsoft licenses --> CALS SUCK FUCKING BILL GATES DICK <_ block it if you want but we all know its true
  21. The $700 model has a i5 6300HQ and the i7 6700HQ ina 15.6" model is $829
