    probably Micron E-die if you are going for high capacity, but it running at 3200mhz seems good enough to me.

    With this many disks I would honestly just build a second box, put Linux on it and use ZFS or BTRFS. I'm not against hardware RAID except for its short comings in my own applications so I try to keep it an option for others so long as it's a good RAID controller.
     
    But oh lordy, god in heaven forbid I ask OP his OS and someone flies at me like a crazy cat devil with accusations as to my intentions.

    Oh sorry. I missed that. I think the X570 board that I have only has 8 ports. I dont think if the port can be expanded. I have 12 HDDs as of the moment

    What are you talking about?? The T1000 is essentially a 1650. Why would anyone want more than 4GB of VRAM on that kind of card? This is a business portable workstation, not a 1337 G4M3R L4P7OP

    DocYoda reacted to johndms in Ryzen 1700X on crosshair 6 extreme   
    Ignore CPU-Z, it rarely, if ever, shows Ryzen voltage correctly. Use HWMonitor or HWiNFO64 and focus on the CPU Core Voltage (SVI2 TFN) line to monitor your actual vcore. Also, focus on the CPU (Tdie) temperature as the Tctl temperature contains the +20c offset applied by AMD.
    Even though this was posted two weeks ago, maybe you'll see it.
     
    Disable Core Performance Boost bios option.
    Look for an option called CPU Load-line Calibration. I think your options will be Levels 1-5 with Auto being Level 0 (lowest) and 5 being the extreme (highest). LLC attempts to counter voltage drops when hitting the CPU with a load. If the voltage drops too much the CPU will fail. Hitting 4GHz will hopefully only require more voltage. But you may be able to keep the voltage low and simply counter the vdroop with LLC.
     
    If you're running your 1700X at 3.8GHz at 1.375V, try setting LLC to Level 2 and see if you can do 4GHz. Verify stability with Aida64's System Stability Test stressing CPU/FPU/Cache for at least 1 hour. If you receive a red screen failure warning, increase the voltage and/or LLC level and try again. You should be relatively safe going as high as 1.40v and LLC Level 3. Keep an eye on your CPU Tdie temperature. I'd recommend not going higher than 80c during stress test.
     
    Please avoid LLC4 and 5. Some people may disagree, but my research has me afraid to recommend the higher, extreme levels of LLC. However, if you're happy with not hitting 4GHz (as I am), stick with 3.8 or 3.9.

    International Rectifier fully integrated powerstages (IR3555) have all the good stuff, they are LS+HS, driver and some other goodies (body-breakdown, temperature probe). They are rated at 60A/125°C Tj continuous current draw, peak efficiency at 95% 1.2-1.4V.
    Texas Instruments NexFET power block (CSD87350Q5D) is only HS+LS, it is rated for 40A/125°C Tj and has peak efficiency of ~93-94% at 1.2-1.4V.
    IR stages are better, but C6H is made well and has no problem with anything.

    https://superuser.com/questions/949814/how-to-disable-or-uninstall-microsoft-edge-in-windows-10
     
    "UPDATE: In January 2017 I disabled Edge on a new Windows 10 install by simply renaming the "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" folder. (If you are asked to allow administrator privileges be sure to answer in the affirmative.) Renaming this folder was not possible in the past without following the more detailed steps below. This much simpler approach achieves the exact same results as the more complex instructions below! However, for older installations and/or Windows upgrades the below instructions may still be the only answer.
     
    THE ANSWER BELOW THIS LINE IS THE OLDER ANSWER...
     
    As already stated, the other answers are no longer valid due to changes in Windows 10 -- Microsoft has removed all supported methods for disabling Edge. As of today, this answer still works. Although parts of this answer were given, not all of it was given together in a step by step manner.
     
    Go to: C:\Windows\SystemApps\
    Open folder Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Right click on MicrosoftEdge file then Properties / Security / Advanced / Click Change (next to owner) and change to your username, then click OK
    Then Click Edit, then add your username and give full permissions
    Rename MicrosoftEdge file to MicrosoftEdge_remove or a name of your choice
    Repeat all above steps for file MicrosoftEdgeCP also
    Done! Edge will not run!
    Been running Windows 10 Pro like this on 100+ PCs for several months without issues.
     
    A NOTE REGARDING WINDOWS ANNIVERSARY UPDATE: The Anniversary update appears to undo the above changes and re-enable Edge. In my case I just ran the above steps again, and Edge is once again disabled."

    Depends on your buget, throw me out a max you are looking to spend, you want 5 or 6 cameras  are they all exterior cameras?  I will tell you in video surveillance you get what you pay for.  What are they exterior conditions, what level of detail you want?  are there any lighting conditions to overcome?  What kind of distance are you looking at for recognition and at what detail.  a 720p camera might not give you facial features from 50ft away, but if its someone known it gives enough detail.    volume of hard drives depends how long you need to store it, We typically say per 25GB you get 7-8 days at 720P 3-4 at 1080p  2-3 at 3MP 1-2 at 5MP now this is an average based on around 10 fps
     
    Software can be all kinds of stuff, some cameras come with software to store to a pc, they sell software you can purchase per camera and run on a pc, they sell units that record.  I tried the Synology and did not like it, however that was just me.
     
    Personally I love Axis Cameras however they are more expensive but in my opinion are the best, and this will not affect you as much being an end user, they really stand behind there products.
     
    Some people like Hikvision I personally am not a fan, don't get me wrong they are not horrible, just not up there with axis.
     
    As far as recording platforms there are way to many out there to narrow down, do you have a pc that you want to dedicate?  do you want to use a nas? do you want to purchase a preconfigured system?
     
    Personally I used both a software that has ran on cameras, a custom pc for it, and a dedicated nvr and all work great, depending on your needs,
     
    Cat 5 is plenty, typically for display most machines will be fine, I seen customers use an old laptop that was 5-6 years old and pull up 32 cameras (not going to say it didn't strugle)
     
    I have installed 100's of systems so i have been around the block a few times when it comes to video.  
     
    Hope some of this helps

    depends how much you want to store. It might take you a while to notice you've been robbed or some sort of antisocial behavior has taken place on your property
    yes. CAT 6 is for 10G speed which you wont need for your cameras.
    not really; your server should be doing all the work combining video feeds to your monitors
    You can go for a proprietary system or you can pay a private security firm to run your cameras; this might be cheaper and I highly recommend you contact your insurance company as it might pay for itself.

    The solution you'd want to go for really depends on your budget. 
     
    You're probably looking at somewhere from $700 to tens of thousands for a 5-6 camera surveillance setup. 
     
    I'd probably suggest going for a Synology NAS and use Synology's Surveillance Station software to manage the cameras and storage. I'd suggest WD Purple drives which are specifically designed for surveillance situations. As for the cameras, I would advise going for wired IP cameras with IEEE 802.3af/at support, along with an IEEE 802.3af/at switch to avoid using PoE injectors. You want to make sure you avoid proprietary PoE used by some companies like Ubiquiti (not on all of their products, but typically the lower end) if you're using an 802.3af/at switch. 
     
    EDIT: It's important to note that most Synology NAS boxes only come with two surveillance device licenses, so you'd need to purchase 3-4 more licenses. They're about $50 each or $160 for 4 licenses.

    DocYoda reacted to Naeaes in Motherboard power connectors   
    This is all just redundancy to provide better chances for overclocking. No Intel CPU actually consumes 300 Watts (which the two eight-pins could provide) Instead they use the two connectors to separate their phases at the actual consumptions. You'll get by just fine with only one 8-pin plugged in but if you intend to OC, the second would help provide more stable power. Basically plugging it in won't harm you but it takes a special scenario to help. 
     
    The 6-pin is there to provide power to the GPUs. As per PCI-E specification, each connector needs to supply 75 Watts to the card. That 75 Watts is provided via the motherboard from the 24-pin EATX connector. A lot of cards have dedicated connectors directly from the PSU but some of the power is always going to be drawn from the PCI-E slot. It's not always the full 75W but you can never not have power in there either. For most uses that's all fine but lets just say you have something crazy like four graphics cards plugged in. That's what the 6-pin is for. To relay the extra power that the motherboard need to all the PCI-E devices. Again, plugging it in won't hurt you in any way but your actually ever needing it takes a special use-case.
