I'd say a good LGA775 motherboard with the appropriate nvidia chipset for SLI is worth more than a GPU faster than 2x GTX 560's.

Cats are wonderful and destructive

And I just ended probably the longest streak of not getting a notification from motf.
 
Anyway, how's everyone doing?
Anyway, anyway, here's a cat photo to cheer y'all up:

SETI@Home (1999), Folding@Home (2000), BOINC (2002) etc etc all disagree. Cryptocurrencies came after distributed computing not before.

Post in the correct subforums, please. Also, this is better suited as a status update.

There is some good discussion happening here, but I would recommend creating a new thread asking your questions over in New Builds and Planning. If you just want to vent, you can use status updates on your profile page for that.

Yeah, but what's stupid about it is the two mods are then responsible for the new mod for the next 18 years. That's why some moderators choose to have that tool disabled. 

yes, the secret is to overpay for old NVMe drives that have a built in legacy boot rom. That's why modern NVMe's don't boot on old systems, they only support UEFI boot. I bought 4 samsung 950 PRO drives for hobby and tinkering stuff. I've got 3 512GB, and one 256GB drive. I was planning on setting up a RAID with redundancy with the 512's, but I learned that you need an NVMe adapter with it's own bifurcation chipset when you're on motherboards/CPUs that don't have that feature. Those cards start at 400CAD, and that's for weird chinese brands you've never heard of.
 
I managed to grab all 3 from one seller for about 500CAD, the first one was 200, but the seller sold me his remaining two for 300. The 256 came as part of a bundle of used parts, about 120 bucks with a WD black 1TB that the seller shipped LOOSE IN A BOX WITH NO PACKING. NVMe works fine, but the WD black was DOA, seller gave me back a 20 bucks for the bad drive.
 
Warning, the prices for those NVMe drives have gone up considerably since I bought mine about 2 years ago. I think plextor made an NVMe drive with legacy boot rom, but I have never found one for sale online.
 
*edit*
950 PROs are totally plug and play, no tinkering, they are detected as IDE devices by the motherboard. As far as I can tell from benchmarks, they do not perform as best as they can, but they are still wicked fast for the X58 platform.

It's generally considered a dick move to hijack a topic like that. Give them a chance to update their post to comply with the guidelines.
 
Plusss there would be situations where you might make the judgement that their post doesn't comply and create your own topic, but the moderation team actually thinks the original post is fine. Then we're left looking at you reposting existing news topics (which is also against the tech news guidelines)
 
In an ideal world people would just follow the guidelines the first time. 

This is really funny for a reason that you will never find out

Either way, this is not in the hands of the forum staff.

You need to take it up with the LTT Discord Mods, they are completely separate from the forum mods.
