Ubuntu Intel RST issues
CodeMaestro replied to CodeMaestro's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
This is the boot options submenu, I do not see any RAID or AHCI options. Nor does there to appear to be anything in any of the menus above this.

I am in the process of helping a friend install Ubuntu 20.04 on their unused laptop. It can live boot just fine but when a normal install is attempted a window appears telling me to disable Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Upon checking the bios, there didn't appear to be any option for Intel RST. The computer in question is an HP Pavilion 15-cs0xxx according to the bios. I unfortunately do not have physical access to this machine as they live in another state and I am attempting to help them over Discord. I'm a little confused here as I've never had to deal with this particular problem whilst installing Linux before. Anyone have any ideas of how to get past this? Thanks in advance.

Am I overestimating the overclocks on the PSU calculator, or it it just inaccurate? It's telling me I'd need a little over 1000 watts.
-
This seems to be going on a bit of a tangent, which is fine. I just want to know if I would be limited with a 1200 watt PSU. I don't plan on going 3 way SLI, I may add in an M.2 drive later for my boot drive, and I do plan on doing a fair bit of overclocking once I can afford to build a watercooling loop. I'm currently leaning towards the HX1200i.

I have room for 3.5" hard drives, I'm just choosing to remove those bays for other things.
-
How is the Enthoo Primo a sub standard case? It's getting pretty good reviews, has good cable management options, has tons of watercooling support, and is built pretty well. Here's a few reviews of it:
-
the 979 watts is just on the +12v rail, the +3.3v and +5v rails add another 95 watts.
-
The goal was to hide all the drives in the back of the case, which unfortunately meant ruling out 3.5" drives I was planning on running them in RAID 1 for redundancy. As for the fans I was including enough for a worst case scenario, I probably won't be getting that many.
-
According to the PSU calculator, the System would exceed 1000 watts under load.

I'm trying to decide which PSU to get for my new build, I'll link the PCPartpicker link below, note the fans in it will be used in an eventual watercooling loop and the 980ti's are stand-ins for the Pascal equivalent once they come out: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vFMhsY Also here is a Psu calculator link: http://outervision.com/b/Y9Bb6S Despite the hx1200i being a lower wattage and a higher price, I cannot stand the all red PCI-e cables on the Supernova 1300, therefore, I'd end up getting a custom set. The Corsair cables, however look much better so I wouldn't feel the need to get custom cables. Therefore, the HX1200i Would end up costing me less. Would the extra 100 watts be worth the extra price, or would I be fine with the 1200W

I'm looking for a good motherboard for my new build, I'm building in a Phanteks Enthoo Primo case so it can support up to an extended ATX board. The two boards I'm looking at are the MSI Z170 Gaming M7 for ATX and the EVGA Z170 Classified for EATX. Both these boards also represent the price range I'm looking in (200-350 USD). Which board would be a better choice? Does anyone have any alternate suggestions? I'm open to other suggestions, I just want to stich with a red and black color scheme with a max price of ~350.

I figured cablemod would be way too expensive, I found a nice set on Performance-Pcs, Thanks!

For my new build I was looking at the EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 PSU. Then I saw the Supernova 1000PS go on sale for $40 off. The specs seem to be comparable to the Supernova P2. I'll link the PS page below: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438035&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=EXPRESS040216&cm_mmc=EMC-EXPRESS040216-_-EMC-040216-Index-_-PowerSupplies-_-17438035-S2A5B My question was, I was planning on getting a sleeved cable kit for the PS but I can't seem to find one specifically listed as compatible. I was planning on getting this cable set: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supply-Individually-Sleeved-100-CR-1300-B9/dp/B00KVLCWKY Would this be compatible with the Supernova PS? If not, could anyone suggest another kit that is compatible? I appreciate any feedback, Thanks.

I was planning on doing a new PC build this year, starting with updating from Ivy Bridge (3770k) to Skylake (6700k). I'd then update my GPU setup in the summer when Nvidia Pascal comes out. I will be able to get the motherboard, CPU, and RAM for Skylake within a month. But, if what I've heard is true and the next series of Intel CPU's is coming out in June, should I wait until then, or would I be fine with Skylake? I am aware that I won't be seeing much of a performance improvement between my 3770k and a 6700k, I'm mostly interested in some of the updated features and a new setup in general.

[Solved] X99 5820k vs Z170 6700k
CodeMaestro replied to CodeMaestro's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
So far it seems to be split pretty evenly, so I'll try and add more details, Once Pascal comes out i'll be selling my 970 SLI setup (3.5GB sucks at 4k) for a 1080ti, and depending on my framerates I might SLI it down the road. I'll probably stick with 2 way since 3 way doesn't scale too well. From the benchmarks I've seen, the 5820k has better minimum framerates (however unimportant that may be). At 4k I doubt I'd be hitting framerates high enough that either processor would bottleneck even two 1080ti's (although as of now there are no confirmed benchmarks of the 1080ti's that I know of). It might also be worth mentioning that I tend to do quite a bit of multitasking on my computer, more cores could possibly be of use here, although the higher clocked 6700k could have benefits as well, not to mention the updated Skylake architecture.
