  1. Yea I've tried all of the slots, I just don't understand why this happens. I think I've had the same problem with a network card on this motherboard but I couldn't find any info on that when I tried to look it up again. Its just very frustrating. And I know I can use the motherboard ports but I've had better luck with the 9341-8i in my desktop, the 9341-8i would be able to move to a new server without losing data, I could add disks to the 9341-8i RAID volume also without losing data, and I plan on running RAID 5 which would probably perform better on hardware RAID.
  2. I added an LSI MegaRaid 9341-8i with four 2TB WD Red drives to my server to add Samba shares but the card does not get detected in the OS (Ubuntu Server 19.10) nor do I seem to be able to access the WebBIOS interface. The motherboard is an Asus P6X58-E Pro which is BIOS not UEFI and PCIe 2.0 not 3.0 but from my reading it seemed like these shouldn't be issues. I do also have a 9341-8i in my main computer that is working fine though I would like to avoid swapping them unless absolutely necessary as it is very hard to get at. The only differences I can see between my main computer and the server is that my computer has PCIe 3.0 and UEFI although again I don't think either of these should be issues. Any help in solving or at least narrowing down the issue would be much appreciated and thanks in advance!
  3. Yea that's probably as close as I can get, I think it might work but I think I would lose things like the display output over the type c and I already have 4 USB 3 ports on the front panel so I don't really need another. I might see if I can replace it with an entirely new cable as I know there are female to make USB C cables for DIY front panels. Thanks for the help regardless though!
  4. Well no because I don't have a standard USBC plug and jack, only the jack on my graphics card. I need to adapt that weird internal USBC connector to a regular USBC
  5. All of nVidia's RTX cards have a USBC port on the back for a future single cable VR setup but it is a more or less full USBC port. Here's an article that talks about it https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-02-28-psa-the-usb-c-port-on-rtx-graphics-cards-isnt-just-for-vr I also don't have any adapters for that cable, nor can I find any that will help me. Unless I start daisy chaining them in which case I'd rather just leave it unplugged.
  6. I need to plug a cable like this: Into the regular USB C port on the back of my graphics card. I do not know what that connector is called. I have found this adapter but it will not work for my scenario as I have no USB 3.0 headers left.
  7. Does anyone know of an adapter for the internal USB C connector (A-Key connector?) that adapts it to a regular USB C connector? I have a Cooler Master Cosmos C700M and an X99 Deluxe motherboard, the case has two internal USB 3.0 which is fine because the X99 Deluxe has two USB 3.0 headers but it doesn't have this new USB C header. I've found adapters that will adapt it to the USB 3.0 header but I don't have another one of those available. I do however have a USB C port on my graphics card that I would like to connect to the front panel but I can't seem to find the appropriate adapter, maybe I'm not searching the right thing.
  8. Currently have two R9 290X's they're getting a bit dated, crossfire really isn't that effective when the game isn't supported so a single more powerful card would be nice.
  9. Thanks, my motherboard does have a sensor connection but no where does it specify the thermistor value so I guess I'm just going to go for it, at this point I'd rather risk wasting $12 than filling out the rediculous support from with information irrelevant to my problem. If I don't post again then all went well, thanks again.
  10. Has anyone ever used an inline temperature sensor before and or know of good ones? I need a way to get the water temperature of my loop after the GPUs but before the radiator so I can control fans to cool them independantly of the CPU. Originally I had basically used my CPU as the temperature sensor by putting it after the GPU but now I have a radiator between the GPUs and the CPU so that doesn't work so well anymore. I was thinking a temperature plug to put in place of one of the plugs on the GPU blocks on the hot side, but I'm not really sure how well that would actually work. Then I found these inline sensors which would definitely work great for what I want, specifically I was looking at this one: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21219/ex-tub-1991/Phobya_G14_Inline_Temp_Sensor_Coupler_-_2-Pin_-_Black_Nickel_71226.html?tl=g30c229s579 And heres a picture of the loop: The plug was going to go in place of the one on the top right of GPU block (The GPUs are in parallel), but I think it would be better to get the inline sensor and put it on the inlet of the radiator in the bottom as it would be less visible and I'm not sure if the plug would block flow (Some of them are pretty long) or if it would even be very accurate. Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks in advance.
  11. So I set the offset for adaptive mode vCore to +0.300 but under load it only gets to 1.264 which is not enough to keep it stable. I had been running at 1.300 manual but switched to Adaptive to try and keep idle temps lower so my fans stay calm. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do I just need to offset a bit more or do I need to do something with LLC? I've never messed with Adaptive vCore before nor have I used an offset mode or any other voltages really other than DRAM. The CPU is a 5960x BTW. On a side note what would the Turbo Mode adaptive offset do? Am I using turbo mode? I'm so confused with this mode :wacko:
  12. Welp my server with a Q6600 doesn't have anything important on it anyway lol
  13. I just had it do this again and the code on the motherboard was 30 which is "System is waking up from S3 sleep state" which I think was just left over from when it woke up from sleep. Could it be the C6 and C7 sleep states? The CPU was only at like 2 or 3 percent load both times.
  14. Ah well, have you tried reinstalling it's drivers?
