  1. This happens regardless of OS, and only happens sometimes when the refresh rate is set to 360Hz. It doesn't happen when using Lubuntu's "Safe Graphics" mode on 360Hz. The Intel graphics have been disabled in the BIOS. I had my laptop serviced about a month ago for this very same issue and they replaced the motherboard since they said the GPU failed, so I'm thinking it might be a driver issue, being that it only happens sometimes and that they swapped the entire motherboard. Or I'm just really unlucky when it comes to the silicon lottery. Oddly enough when running both Unigine Heaven and Superposition this issue did not manifest in the slightest and there were no other issues. It manifests itself in the form of visual glitches that last for a split second but frequently occur. Here's an example:
  2. They all report a Critical Kernel-Power error, Event ID 41, Task Category 63. Not sure what that means. EDIT: I just got the exact same error right as I hit Ctrl + C to copy the Keywords in event viewer, the Keywords are "(70368744177664),(2)".

  4. Nice going dude! But the first pic is killing me, might want to put a NSFL filter on that...
  5. For the last few days whenever I have my computer on for longer than an hour (the time varies) it will suddenly blackscreen and become unresponsive. But the computer will still be on and running as if nothing happened. When I try holding the power button to force it to turn off, it doesn't do that. So I manually have to flip the power switch on the back of the PSU. Then when I flip it back on and press the power button, the power button doesn't work. So I have to flip the switch back off and wait for the motherboard LED lights to turn off, then hold down the power button for 5 seconds to discharge any capacitors, then flip the power back on and then it will turn back on. Anyone know what might be happening?
  6. You would think that the small M3*5 screw would be for screwing in the motherboard and the larger hexagon screws for power supply. But alas... the small screw does not fit into the standoffs and the larger one does. What the hell Cooler Master, I expected better from a company that apparently makes some of the most renowned cases, power supplies, and coolers on the market. I know the N400 is terrible for cable management, but this is a relatively cheap NAS build for someone else.
  7. Building a NAS for a cousin and they’re sending over a power supply they had, but just without the cables. Been looking for a replacement kit and all of them are either for other brands or for other models of Thermaltake PSUs.
  8. I have a tube of Arctic Silver 5 that I’ve had for about 5 years now. I’ve kept the cap on it throughout its storage in my cold and dark garage. The paste still comes out and has the consistency of peanut butter, but I’m wondering if it’s too old to use.
  9. Haven’t looked at the reviews yet. Then there is the option of taking one of IBM’s POWER cores on GitHub and putting it on an FPGA, but probably just for hobbyist use rather than practical.
  10. A company called Raptor Computing Systems sells motherboards and POWER9 processors that can range into the thousands, because it’s server and enterprise level hardware. I ain’t made of money, but if I could build a workstation or server for no other reason than its price and austerity, I would probably use those. But then that begs the question of being able to host server software on POWER architecture when most of it has been developed for x86 or ARM, like a Java Minecraft server. And whether the cost of the hardware is justified being its potential limitations. And software that translates x86 code to POWER code, something I haven’t really seen yet. Someone from another forum said: If not POWER then I’ll probably be looking for an ARM server/workstation board, but I can’t find them outside of expensive server hardware.
  11. I knew Ticketmaster was scum, but I didn’t know they were THIS bad. $10 million is nothing to large corporations. Awful.
  12. I'm not gonna lie, alternative architectures seem interesting due to their esotericism, however I'd have to consult some Russian nerd for a homebrew JIT translation software that translates x64 instructions to the target platform.
  13. There might be a slight bottleneck on the CPU, but it will be negligible.
  14. A company called Raptor computing Systems manufactures motherboards that have socket for a POWER CPU. Not x64, not ARM, POWER, as in the successor to PowerPC used in old Macintosh computers and the Nintendo Wii. The basic Mobo and CPU bundle will set you back more than $1,700 USD. God save your soul should you try to do a reverse Rosetta and write translation software from x64 to POWER. I feel like it wouldn't be very good bang for your buck because POWER Linux doesn't seem to have as many applications as for x64 and ARM, unless if I'm wrong, or it's easy to recompile.
