Anything that isn't Foobar2000 is the wrong answer.

Okay then I've heard G.Skill are good but personally I would go with something from Corsair.

You're welcome good luck with the new motherboard and setup!

Voltage does not dictate temperature. Load combined with voltage does. Take that same voltage and apply a load and watch temps shoot right up.
That's part of the reason why people need to stop starting the "did I win the silicon lottery" threads. It's not impressive that a CPU has a low voltage at a moderate overclock. What's impressive is if you can clock it to the highest of clock speed WHILE maintaining a load. Otherwise, what good is the CPU?
**I should add that CPU clock speed has a small impact on temps as well, but it's very small compared to load and voltage.

No, it will not kill your motherboard. If your last board died from locking voltage via High Performance mode, it was going to die anyways.
Keep in mind that you are running within the stock voltage spec for that chip. Do not worry about setting Windows Power Options to High Performance.
It is a better practice to use Balanced when you don't need the extra performance as it saves power and keeps your CPU cooler overall. I overclock my CPU heavily, yet I take full advantage of Intel and Windows power savings features when I'm not torturing the CPU simply because they spare my CPU of unnecessary heat when it's not needed.

I see. Thank you so much.

That's for your 2nd question.

darkwizard06 reacted to Sauron in Do you care about PC components longevity?
Only if the component is overheating due to an external cause. Stock clock speeds are what the manufacturer expects to produce the longest lifespan possible and the best that can be achieved in what they consider safe and stable power draw conditions. Undervolting and underclocking can improve your thermals and power consumption, but it shouldn't affect the component's lifespan.

Yea looks like a dead board to me.
Yeap I'd change it out. Might as well grab a high quality psu.

darkwizard06 got a reaction from Bittenfleax in PFSense per IP Bandwidth Allocation
Thank you very much for this. I really appreciate it. I will follow your suggested steps in configuring my box.

darkwizard06 reacted to Bittenfleax in PFSense per IP Bandwidth Allocation
First of all, you need to create an Alias for each user on DHCP. This will ensure that you always have an "identifier" name for that IP/Machine.
The page looks like this and the location can be seen at the top.
Next, you have to create a limiter. Well, you have to create two. One for download and one for upload. Like so... Make sure that the Enable limiter and its children is checked.
Then create a firewall rule, with the protocol as any, the Source as your alias and then at the bottom with advanced settings, where it says In/Out pipe, put in your limiters. Like so...

I'd still plug that in on a UPS.

All mainstream motherboard have integrated nic. You can also buy PCI/e / USB NIC.

darkwizard06 got a reaction from mrHoot1 in How do i read CPU temperatures
If the software you are using is actually outputting a correct cpu temperature, then get the average of all cores, then that is your average cpu temperature.. Don't add them all.

darkwizard06 reacted to Mikensan in Bandwidth Management on Windows Server
Alternatively if you have a router that dd-wrt supports, you can use QoS and filter by the type of traffic instead of origination (which you can do also). Easier to manage at the gateway vs each individual computer. Actually even stock routers sometimes support some level of QoS out the box.

darkwizard06 reacted to zMeul in Bandwidth Management on Windows Server
that's exactly what QoS does

You should check the health of your drive by using SMART stats. Use software like crystaldiskmark or hdsentinel . Check also the sata cables.

darkwizard06 got a reaction from Gonio in Is it worth it to buy a camera
It depends on your personal preference. If you are shooting things that are far away from you, should get a camera, else S7 will suffice all your basic photography needs. I hope it helps.
