Hello there LMG and related parties. I saw that you got hacked a while ago when I was gonna watch some YouTube and noticed that I did not see any of the LTT videos on my feed. Tried searching for the channel but it did not come up, only that the channel was hacked. It was VERY sad to see it happen. It's amazing to see the channel get restored so quickly. Really good effort from the LMG Team, Google and YouTube. Lets hope it does not happen again! The content you guys produce is amazing and I hope that you will keep up the awesome work! I think I speak for the entire community when I say this: Thank you guys for such amazing content over the years and we all wish you the very best and wishes for many more years of content to come! Best regards, Pierre and the LTT community members!

So, I am trying to do a "dynamic" loading part of my website (hosting business related) where it displays total clients, total tickets resolved etc. The data is to be fetched from SQL where it displays the highest number. Each SQL table has a ID to it (separate from client ID) and it is that field I want to load. The field is called "id" and I want the code to load the highest number. So if there are an ID number "10", that number will be displayed, and if a new client registers, the new ID will become "11" and then that number should be displayed. How can I make this work as efficient as possible?

I should also note that it is a old motherboard with DDR2 and a dualcore AMD Athon CPU

Okay, I actually never knew that. You learn something every day. What card would you recommend as the "primary" card if I would do a teaming setup? Both the onboard nic and the PCI nic does gigabit, I just want to make sure that the box does not lose network connection for a unplugged cable or something like that and want the best nic as primary.

So what you're saying that a 1gbps link is "technically" a 2Gbps link since it can handle gigabit speeds at the same time in each direction?

I got a question. I got my on-board nic and a PCI nic as well in my home server and I want to do a kind of "stupid" confiiguration. NOTE: I am currently running Ubuntu Server 20.04, but I want to move to Windows Server 2019 (got a license for cheap). I want to run each nic in a special "mode" where one nic handles downloads and the other handles upload. Is this possible to do, and how would I do it? I am not a guru on this stuff, so any kind of help would be appreciated.

Here is a tool I used. I bought a 128GB USB and have a BUNCH of ISOs on it. https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ The tool allows you to add and remove ISOs at will. Want to add a ISO after a week, no problem. Need to remove one, go for it. Simple to use.

Alright, thank you

I will try that. Thank you, did not think of that at all

Welcome to the LinusTechTips community forum, enjoy your stay! Try DDU and update your GPU driver. That can often help. If that does not do it, I would check for potential dust in the GPU cooler and also in the CPU cooler. If they run too hot, you lose frames because of the clock speeds goes down to prevent heat damage. If that does not help, try grabbing a spare drive and install a fresh Windows copy on that, install the system drivers and try again.

My friend is having some trouble. I am trying to help him fix the issue, but haven't been able to do it yet so I turn to the amazing power of the LinusTechTips community. He had his Windows install for maybe 2 years, when I installed it for him, and had no issues with it. But now, he gets the Blue screen error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. There is no driver code or anything, it just shows the normal Bluescreen with that message. I've been trying to re-seat CPU, Memory, Drives, PSU connectors, GPU etc and it does not solve it. Tried with a new power supply, not helping. I tried to do a "Windows Repair" thing with the Safe boot and Advanced options, but no result. The issue comes up after a while when the PC has been on. It is not coming up as it boots. His specs is: Core i5 3570k - Stock speed, no OC GTX 560ti - Stock speed, no OC 8GB DDR3 1066MHz, no XMP applied 500W Corsair PSU 120GB Kingston SSD 500GB Seagate HDD Latest BIOS revision. Windows 10 Home x64, October 2018 update with frequent updating Latest Nvidia drivers for his GPU. (yes I know, the specs isn't good, but I built it from spare parts I had laying around that I didn't need and he only plays LoL, SC2 and watch Netflix). Is there ANYONE that know what might be causing the issue? And Yes, I have done a Virus Scan with multiple different antivirus programs, no viruses found.

Alright, thanks for the information!

I can't give you a specific FPS or monitor overview yet since I am still building the machine. I bought a "old" Dell OptiPlex 980 that has a Core I7 870 from eBay for 50 bucks. It posts and I am currently installing Windows 10. I popped in my MSI GTX 760 OC 2GB, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD and 4TB HDD, I looked at the motherboard manual online and it has 2 16x slots for the Graphics Card, but the second one is only wired for 4x. It does not say what Generation it is if it is Gen1 2 or 3. Can I expect a bottleneck and if that is the case, where? And also, the PCI-E 16x slots are blue and black. Which one should be the one I would use for my Graphics Card? I think it is the blue slot but I can't be sure.

Can't you try to find the signal connections on the display ribben cable and make a DIY connection to a 4K display?
