  1. Come on now, size doesn't matter, it's how you use it that matters.
  2. @Dellenn Just to note, they have also started releasing H470 and B460 motherboards as well. Gigabyte has some listed on their website. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Intel-H470-B460
  3. Ya, next thing you know Siri, Cortana and Watson will have gold plated cabinets, diamond encrusted LEDs, clocks made by Rolex, and a giant "supreme" logo across every building. Then they will order million dollar cars to sit in the isles of their data centers "just because" (even though they will never drive them).
  4. it depends entirely on what workload you are running, whether it be non AVX, AVX 2.0, or AVX-512, and how many cores are being utilized, that determines the characteristic of Turbo Boost. Refer to the bottom most row for the Gold 6138.
  5. Just go the route of (not so old) HP and have a ZBook 15 G2 with 1x USB 2.0, 3x USB 3.0, thunderbolt 2, express card, smart card, SD card, VGA, DisplayPort, Ethernet, finger print sensor, and even a Blu-ray drive. My wife uses my old one (by her choice) because of all the connection options that she regularly uses with work. Plus it gives her a 100Wh battery and the 100Wh travel battery. She never runs out of battery... Don't even get me started on the dock. I mean it even has a physical tube lock and an extra drive bay. Sadly, I don't think that will ever come back though.
  6. You would be best to use something like MSI afterburner, GPUz, HWinfo, or HWMonitor.
  7. You can't use task manager for GPU utilization as it's known to be inaccurate.
  8. Give rednecks more credit. That would be official "Florida Man" status. Plus, a news article starting with "Florida Man blows up...." people would just be accustomed to.
  9. You don't need the HBA card unless you run out of enough ports for drives. As long as the M.2 connector/s you plan on have a SATA connection you can use a connector adapter for it. They recommend it more so because some people will grab RAID cards (more expensive than a simple HBA card) thinking it's required, when it isn't, for FreeNAS. HBA stands for Host Bus Adapter, meaning it actually adapts from one bus to another such as SAS, SATA, PATA and so on.
  10. You can easily get away with 4GB if you aren't extremely tab happy. I have an old 6510b core 2 laptop with 4GB and I don't run into memory capacity issues browsing with Firefox Nightly.
  11. Well the best performing option for a straight drop in replacement is going to be the A10-7890. With that being said though, any of the A8 or A10 Kaveri or Godavari (Kaveri Refresh) based chips are going to be more than capable. Your motherboard supports them and they have an integrated GPU based on the GCN 2.0 architecture, while the GPU in yours is based on the Terascale 3.0 architecture which actually came right before GCN. You shouldn't have any trouble with HEVC with any of those chips. Note: the exception to this is the PRO A10-8850B, as it isn't guaranteed to work as ASRock does not list it in the supported CPUs list.
  12. Fill it with pure Optane caching servers for low latency game caching for the IT department?
  13. Oddly enough the GIF worked until i uploaded it to the forum. It was sabotage. @Windows7ge I'll be waiting patiently.
  14. That's not fast enough. Ludicrous speed go!
  15. Don't forget 3.5", PCIe AIC, Mini PCIe, and my personal favorite EDSFF (better known as the "Ruler" SSD or E1.L). Also, M.2 is a connector form factor that allows NVMe as well as AHCI over the PCIe bus and is commonly used for things such as WiFi, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, NFC, WWAN and many others. It is also used as a USB and SATA bus connector. Note: You probably honestly already know this, as you are extremely active on the forum, so it's more for the less knowledgeable people that are perusing about and come across this.
  16. that she used for the first time today... Thank you, as I will now have that song piquing my mind for the rest of the day.
  17. Shoot! I wish the set of Bridgestone tires I just replaced were only 700! You apparently underestimate the cost of tractor tires...
  18. Try running it at 512 and see if you get close to your original results. Edit: I forgot to mention that the 1GiB and 512 MiB options are for the block size, and depending on the storage medium can have a significant effect on the results of the drive.
  19. @Bombastinator Just a heads up for you or anyone else that happens to come along. You probably know this already, at which point just ignore me lol. I have listed different units for those that use the international units, the bald eagle units or the sciencey units. All are at a pressure of one atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide sublimates at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F) or 194.65 K Oxygen boils at −182.96 °C (−297.33 °F) 90.19 K, hopefully no one uses liquid oxygen to cool a computer. The fireworks would be fantastic though... Nitrogen boils at −195.79 °C (-320 °F) or 77 K Hydrogen boils at −252.87 °C (−423.17 °F) or 20.28 K Helium-4 has a boiling temp of −269 °C (−452.2 °F) 4.2 K
  20. Something else I forgot to think of, depending on when your motherboard was manufactured it may not have a new enough BIOS on it ( version 2002 for your board) to support the 10900x out of the box.
  21. Okay so you put the 3000 MT/s ram in the x299 and it didn't post. Did it power up at all but not post? You might try using your 2400 ram in your x299 system and see if it will post with that. As long as everything has power connected correctly and has ram installed it ought to at least be able to enter the BIOS. (Side note: you also need to make sure you have some kind of video out (GPU/VGA adapter or whatever nomenclature you want to use) during boot)
