I know I'm necro-ing this thread... but I just wanted to let anyone looking at this know. I have a 1070 and I am running driver version 471.41 and this does not seem to work anymore, I tested using the "test with CMD" button right above where you paste in custom commands. I did manage to get it somewhat working by modifying: to just "high444" as it was complaining about high444p being unsupported (at least on my 1070). So for me my custom commands ended up looking like this: -rtbufsize 150M -f dshow -framerate $fps$ -i video="screen-capture-recorder" -c:v libx264 -r $fps$ -preset ultrafast -tune grain -crf 28 -vf "scale='iw*min(1,sqrt(1024*576/iw/ih))':'ih*min(1,sqrt(1024*576/iw/ih))':in_range=full:out_range=full:in_color_matrix=bt709:out_color_matrix=bt709" -sws_flags lanczos -profile:v high444 -pix_fmt yuvj444p -color_range 2 -movflags +faststart -y "$output$" However, once I did that, when I ran the test again it seems to just fall back on to CPU encoding, as now 9% of my 2700x is now being used when I run the test... sigh... Oh well. If anyone else who is more experienced with ffmpeg would like to take a look at what is going on, here is a pastebin link to the output of the "Test with CMD button" I did not test the CPU settings, but I have a feeling they may have the same issues as the nvenc settings. Good luck everyone else! (Also I exported the settings I ended up with once I tinkered with it here just in case someone else would like to trouble shoot) sharex-VideoCaptureSettings-Nvenc.json

Have you tried a different PSU? Or better yet, do you have an old card like a gtx 480 (essentially just something really power hungry) you could throw in your system and try the stress test again? It could be that there is an issue with your PSU, and the problem may only show up after continuous load on whatever rail your GPU is on. That's just a theory though. I'm not familiar with the sensors available on the 5600xt, you may also be able to check to see what voltage the card is receiving. If that voltage is sagging over time, that could cause some instability.

Maybe, there may have been one of a few different things going on. Your MoBo may have a zero RPM mode where it stops the fans when system temps are low. You may have PWM fans that are being controlled with voltage instead of PWM. or your fan curve may have just been set below the minimum duty cycle/voltage of your fans (In the last case, what you did would be correct). Essentially, if they're keeping your components cool, and you're happy with the noise level/profile, you should be fine leaving it how it is right now.

I've heard some reports of the most recent windows update causing big performance issues for gaming. A fix should be rolling out soon, but if it's possible try rolling back the most recent major OS update. That may help the issue.

I second @Radium_Angel, Though to go into a little more detail... I might recommend you download MSI Afterburner or GPUZ. Both have sensor logging where you can see what your temperatures are at over time. You should try and run something intensive like you mentioned in your post, then keep an eye on GPU thermals (for a 5600xt there is core and junction temps). From what you said it does seem like a GPU crash. If the temps seem normal (aka, around 70-80c core, 90-100c Junction) make sure you do not have any sort of overclocks applied. If none of these suggestions help, check your warranty and see if you can RMA your card, as it may be an issue with the actual card.

Thank you for the info, I know unraid isn't known for it's speed, I just don't have enough money to buy all the drives I would need for a traditional array outright and I don't know if I can make the time commitment of learning and transitioning to ZFS. Knowing that it's not that big of a performance improvement though I think I will go for less expensive 5400 rpm drives. Thank you for the help (=

So another question for you, I'm planning on moving to 10GbE soon (server Mobo has a built in controller) so would I possibly get better performance with 7200rpm drives instead of 5400 rpm? I know I am never going to see fully saturated 10GbE even when writing to cache as all my drives (including cache) are currently sata, but since I've been moving a ton of video files around recently raw throughput has been a concern. Would I get a meaningful boost in perf/throughput with 7200rpm or would 5400rpm still be fine? (also, I not only move video files around on this server but I do edit off the server as well)

So this nas has been in use for about a year and some change and could you expand on what you mean by shucking drives? Is that where you buy external enclosures and take the drives out of them? I also don't have any free bays (and my license would not allow for any more drives any way) so my plan is replacing the parity drive with a higher capacity then replacing the 500gb hard drives with 2 additional drives as well (using the former parity drive to replace the third 500gb HDD). The reason I want to upgrade is not just for capacity but also because those 500gb seagates were used when I put them in and are now nearing 25,000 power on hours with warnings starting to pop up. For capacity I would like to shoot for 3 4tb HDDs, maybe more if it's economical

Hey guys, was looking at upgrading my Unraid box with some higher capacity HDDs as well, it's getting a little full: I have a spreadsheet of some HDDs I was considering. However with all the news about how some manufacturers are mislabeling HDDs as CMR when they are really SMR I really wanted to get at least a second set of eyes to look at what I am considering as I don't want to end up with that'll not work as well. These are the drives I am considering (Google sheets) I'm probably not going to go higher than 6-8tb (and yes I know that the parity drive has to be the highest or equally as large capacity drive in the array). Just wanted to make sure none of these drives had any glaring issues and besides GB per dollar which would be the best one to go for.

Unfortunately returning it is not really possible, I bought the fan a few months ago for the guys birthday just now. So I'm kind of stuck with it =/

Thank fully they do on newegg.

So Corsair fans have to go through a corsair controller, it's dumb but that's how it seems to be. =/ (At least just for the lighting)

Heyo, I hope someone can help me with this. I recently purchased a fan for a friend, specifically this one. I thought all was good, but recently we've found out we need some sort of controller to control the RGB. Just from my perusing of amazon and their website, it seems there is no easy way to do this. Everything seems to be some $50+ solution that does way more than we need (which is to control the ARGB of one fan). Does anyone know of a good way to do this? I want to make sure my friend is taken care of. Thank you ! (=

Thank you both for the reply! You'll have to forgive me for the delayed reply as life got a little busy. I'll try both and let you know how it goes (= Oh and @mariushm I looked at the files that you sent with your script and from what I can tell you already have it set up to where all I would have to do is run the folders and then download scripts. Is that right or should I go ahead and run the extract script with the input.html?

So this might be an odd question. But I was wondering if anyone would know of anyway to download all the server.jar files listed here (just the stable releases category) into folders for each version? I have a bit of anxiety over things disappearing/being lost and wanted to make sure I could start a collection of all the older server versions of Minecraft so that I could be sure I can start one up if need be. Obviously it wouldn't be too hard to maintain however the initial downloading seems like it would benefit from some sort of way to download them all whether it's via a bash script or some other method. I had initially though of using wget with wild card to nab all the versions and just delete the ones I don't want but I found out none of the jar files are named uniquely (all are server.jar). So any tips?

Thank you for the recommendation, I think that'll work great for the intel system I do see your point about used DDR4 being overpriced. I guess I had thought that maybe now that it has had time to saturate the market I might have been able to pick up some cheap server ram. To address your second point, considering I am a just barely not broke high school student (spending all my money on computer parts probably didn't help) I don't think selling the parts and trying from scratch would help. I don't really have the luxury to plan builds and usually have to work with what I can get. Oh I didn't know about this site, I'll have to keep an eye on it thank you (=

The title is pretty self explanatory. I have been really lucky recently and have gotten some computer parts as gifts from family to build some systems to get into virtualization and some other projects of mine, as well as some old parts from a friend who upgraded their system. However, I did overlook one detail. I have zero extra DDR4. Which just so happens to be the thing these systems need. So here is the situation: I have three systems, and one kit of DDR4 (G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200) Currently what I do is put the RAM into the system I need to use at the moment and use it, then when I need to use one of the other machines (see list below) I power down the system currently using the ram and stick it in the system I need to use next. Not ideal, as I know I run the risk of damaging the slot or DIMM everytime I insert and remove the DIMM. The first system (system in back of photo), which currently has the kit in it, is my desktop PC (I have a decent laptop, so I haven't been using it often, I still use it though) It has a R7 2700x and an Asus "ROG Strix X470-F Gaming" motherboard. The second system, which I hope to get up and running to lend to my girlfriend, has an i5 6600k and an Asus "STRIX Z270G Micro ATX LGA1151" motherboard. The third system, which is my hopefully soon to be home server, has a TR 1920x and an Asrock "Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming" motherboard. I was wondering if any you had some good recommendations for used or refurbished RAM as I have never really bought used hardware online before and would rather not screw it up. I was hoping if at all possible to get a 2x16GB kit for the TR system (or if I am lucky 4x16GB) and I don't think I have room to be picky about frequency or ECC/Non-ECC. Then for the Intel system I think just anything that would work, like a kit of 2x8gb, and I don't think I'd be picky about if they have a heat spreader or not. If it doesn't I can just slap an aftermarket heat spreader on em to make em look nice. Sorry for asking what seems like a pretty easy question to answer with google, I wanted to get a little human input to make sure I make the right decision (=

So I recently was doing some upgrades to my PC and when I was taking out my graphics card I accidentally bumped the amp chip on my MoBo, this caused it to get slightly dislodged and to bend two of the pins on one end, so I took it out, bent the pins back and put it back into it's slot. To sum this story up quickly now, I put in the wrong way round and after fixing that error the audio from the back of my mobo doesn't sound good/right anymore. While I could easily order a new chip I figured since I need a new one, I may as well see if I can upgrade it for a decent price. The current chip is: http://www.ti.com/product/OPA2134/description My budget: ≤$25

I ended up going the route of just using teracopy on a seperate machine to copy the files over, I also got a new SSD for christmas along with that HDD and when I tried to move my OS install to the new SSD I ended up breaking the install on the old SSD and the new one, so I had to reinstall and since I had mostly program files and games on that HDD I think the steam library will be the only thing I can still use. All that considered though, thank you for your help.

So I tried the raw copy and upon completion the drive in Disk management showed up as Invalid. I tried to go ahead and use gptgen which didn't work. I guess what I am wondering is, are there any ways that you know of that I could go about this or do you know where I may have gone wrong?

thank you, I'll look into it

thank you so much, I imagine the raw data transfer will go rather quickly since I imagine it would act in terms of transfer rates like it was a large file, though do you know how slow/fast is the gptgen tool is? I have a couple of drives I need to probably do this treatment to.

So I am trying to transfer the data from my old 1tb WD Blue to my new 4tb Seagate Barracuda (keep in mind, not OS disk). I usually use Minitool partition wizard free edition but the free version only supports MBR but in order to get one 3.7 tb volume I need GPT format type, I would normally just go into windows explorer and ctrl-C and ctrl-V to transfer the files but I am getting some abysmal speeds considering they are connected via SATA Directly to another computers MoBo (10-30 MB/s). Does anybody have a recommendation for some software that would work for this?

Honestly, why hell do people think this is acceptable. I would love to see where these people learned and began to think that this type of behavior was acceptable. I imagine squashing the source of such behaviors would have a larger impact than going after individuals. Though I am not condemning what was done.
