I can't tell for sure from the photos, but since the grommets are recessed will a CEB motherboard (10.5" wide) like the X99E WS fit in this case or does the grommet thing stick up too much?

You know those standoffs that are sometimes on motherboard trays that dont take a screw, but have a nub for alignment? Where can I find a pack of these? I want to switch out the standoffs on my test bench for fast swapping. Searching for standoff nub doesnt return anything lol.

Unplugged it to dust. Wiggled the connections on switch and both the NAS and desktop. Still slow. Do these work good? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ZXYI1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vkHQzbXMH42HV

I was getting 125 MB/s speeds (1000Mb) on my NAS to desktop. I moved it now I only get 11 MB/s (100 Mb/s). I suspicion It may be the ethernet cable. It's about 50ft long and run through ceiling tiles and a floor. How do you properly test the cable? (I dont want to run another unless I have to).

lol You get what I mean. Anything will feel like free compared to current prices.

https://www.coinspeaker.com/2017/08/26/ethereum-plans-metropolis-release-september/ Interesting. A difficulty bomb and proof of stake coming very soon which will make Ethereum nearly impossible for mining to be profitable. I'd imagine that there will be a lot of 1070s and 470-580s on ebay in September. I mean ethereum isn't the only GPU mined coin, but it is the largest and there is no way that cards won't get dumped all of a sudden because of this.

I think you mean $239 over priced. $100 increase + $139 for the two games that nobody wants and you can't buy without.

I don't think you will see much improvement in the near term. It's going to take a number with a lot of 0s after it to get below 10nm processes. That's where you will see big changes. Intel has a lot bigger wallet to do that, BUT they have already admitted that desktop chips ARE NOT a priority and the first 10nm desktop chips will be slower than the current 14nm. So for the next couple years it will be a price war, not really performance.

Screenshotted this from AMD site. What does it mean max temp 68 C? Does that mean it will throttle back or shutdown at that temp? How can there even be any substantial overclocking with that low of a max temp. That isn't near the 90-100 range like on Intel. I mean I would hope to have a stable overclock way under that, but it just doesn't seem like you would be able to crank up the volts much.

Who hates 4 pin connectors? They never line up. The pins bend. And the cheap ones slide out the back. What's your least favorite connector?

As long as you have: enough available power on rails you dont exceed the output of the connector the adapter has the proper guage wire (a lot of cheapo ones out there)

Are there any differences between the Define C and the new temp glass version other than the temp glass. I saw somewhere that they updated the filters. Any other changes?

Thats what the HBCC is for - easily substituting VRAM for other memory types. ( You do your research LOL) The Pro card has this enabled out of the box so you wont hit VRAM limits from the physical VRAM. I'm asking if this is enabled on the RX Vega lines or did they just make this a Pro FE feature.

Implementation is a little more difficult with VRAM. Tell me how to connect my system RAM or SSD to my 1070 so I can render with a GPU a 500 GB scene in blender.

According to AMD's website the professional frontier edition has HBM2 that can access external memory so that you don't run out. "The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card employs cutting-edge HBM2 memory as an extremely large and ultra-fast hardware-managed cache for external memory or storage devices. This allows the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card to efficiently access up to hundreds of terabytes of graphics memory, making it the ideal graphics card for handling massive textures and data sets." I could see that being valuable for rendering. Does anyone know if RX Vega 56 or 64 has this feature too? They are much less expensive.
