Hi there, I was hoping someone can help me determine the viability of using a single Ryzen 7 based system to act as a "server" of sorts where multiple users can interact independently of each other on their own screens, mice, and keyboards. The use case is using pretty much only Pastal Accountng software and Internet browsing. Said work type involves continuous emailing of invoices, month end stuff, stock take etc, its all based on the software, its not very tough work so I was hoping its possible to build a single system instead of multiple systems. Also I would need to know the maintenance side of things, how easy it is to set up and maintain as well as whether its reliable or not (walk in, turn on, get to work every time). Any recommended set ups will be appreciated, note the budget is very tight. Thanks.

Cool, sounds good. Thanks for the insight everyone, I appreciate it:)

Thanks, where can I acquire the OS, and are there any special steps I need to take to install it? Could I create a bootable USB ISO and install like that?

Hi there. I have a pretty old laptop with limited resources, I have a fresh install of windows 10 on and I struggle to play YouTube videos at 60fps. I will be upgrading the ram soon (to 4gb from 2) which should help but I'd like to know if the Linux OS is more light weight than windows 10. Since I won't be doing anything more than browsing the web and watching videos, I really only need the lightest OS possible to free up some power. Thanks.

Greetings. I was hoping someone could let me know the capabilities of the ram I have. Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2x 4GB with an advertised speed of 2400mhz The rest of the relevant specs are: CPU: i7 6700k at 4.5ghz (manual overclock; Voltage set to 1.296 with the adaptive + offset option selected). Mobo: MSi Z170A Gaming M3 I know very little about ram overclocking so bare with me. The motherboard has an XMP option which I selected, that brought the ram to its advertised speed, I then changed the ram speed up until the system wouldn't boot, I got to 2700mhz. Note that I did not change anything else other than the ram speeds AFTER I had the XMP profile on. The ram voltage went from 1.2 volts to 1.216 courtesy of the XMP profile. The voltage is set to auto in the bios and will go up to 1.216 and down again as needed by the system. So that's all well, right? Anyway. I see that you can buy DDR4 ram with shipping voltages of 1.35 and they are usually 3000mhz and up, or RGB. So that got me thinking... Mine shipped with stock voltages of 1.2 volts and XMP pushed it up to 1.216 and then I made it even faster still. Now I don't want to destroy my system so I am asking you lovely people first if I can take my ram up to say 1.35 volts and 3000mhz speeds. The concept intrigues me so I'd like to know more, and I also don't want to break my system. I am also aware of timings or latencies, but I don't know enough about that to even talk about it other than the lower the better, right? So in summary: 1 - Consider the ram I have 2 - Consider the current settings applied to my system 3 - Can I take put 1.35 volts through my ram to get to speeds like 3000mhz? 4 - Ram latencies, the basic run down. No 3 is the primary question. That's all Regards

Recent AMD GPU driver update causing flikering/jittering
Jbay replied to Jbay's topic in Graphics Cards
Okay so I did the DDU thing and I am experiencing the same problem. I then restored factory defaults in the readeon software and it stopped immediately. Reverting to a previous OS is not an option at this point. This is a workstation pc and has a lot of stuff on it. -

I'm about to give DDU a shot. Will let you know how it goes. -

Recent AMD GPU driver update causing flikering/jittering
Jbay replied to Jbay's topic in Graphics Cards
I uninstalled it the first time normally, The installer of the new driver automatically removed the old one and restarted the system. Other times it was removed via device manager directly. I will try DDU now. -
Hello. So I recently updated the driver of my AMD R9 200 series graphics card to the 17.3.3 driver which I got from amds website directly. After installing it, there are all sorts of screen refresh issues or stuttering or whatever you want to call it. It happens everywhere but only when something is initiated like opening a programme, refreshing a web page, or general mouse movements etc. I tried up to 6 drivers backroll obviously including the previous functional driver and met the same issue even when back to the old driver which never did that before. Clean install each time. Currently back on the latests driver with the same issue. I discovered that when I go into Radeon Settings - Preferences - Restore Factory Defaults, and click on that the issue stops immediately but comes back the next time I restart the computer. It stops each time I click on reset defaults after booting up. I have reseated the graphics card multiple times and tried other slots on the motherboard and reset the bios and ja... Nothing... I don't know what's cooking... Please help. System specs: CPU= i7 950 Motherboard= Asus P6X58D - E RAM= 16gigs corsair ddr3 (2x 8gb) GPU= amd R9 200 series 2gb (1x) OS= Windows 10 64 bit Storage= SSD for OS and HDDs for storage

I would like to know if the Phanteks PH-TC14PE air cooler will fit in the CM Storm Scout 2 case. The case dimensions data states that the maximum cooler height is 162mm, The height of the aforementioned cooler with dual fans is 171mm. So then according to the data, it does not fit. But I did some research and found someone who built a pc with that case and cooler and it appeared to fit with the case all closed up. Could someone clear this up for me? I need to know for a FACT if it fits or not. Thanks

I am aware that a fair number of manufacturers of motherboards feature automatic overclocking for supported chips, what I would like is more information about the research and development behind it, what settings they use (for a i7 6700k for example), and how stable the overclocks are and a bit of history if possible, Just more information about it in general. So far I am quite pleased with this feature because it has given me the most stable overclock on my 6700k to date paired with the MSi Z170A Gaming M3 board.
