  1. NewEgg has AIO watercooler kits that will fit on socket 775 and Water Cooler blocks for a custom loop. It's only "Worth it" if you want a basically non-functional computer for some reason
  2. Plebs... I've been calling it 3.2 x 10^18 Nano Hertz RAM for years now
  3. Hint: it's all about money. Advertisers and the Producers are paying YouTube a boat load of money to get the content they want in your recommended list.
  4. Nope. The best justification I've seen so far for water cooling is "It looks cool" or "I want it to be a little quieter". Doing a lot of extra work and getting almost no practical benefit out of it sounds like a bozo move. When I'm using my computer I'm looking at the monitor and listening to my stereo. I've got 7 fans (6 case and 1 GPU), I run them at 100% all the time, and I've never noticed the sound with them running.
  5. Unless something has changed, Solidworks visualize won't function without a workstation graphics card because of driver comparability issues.
  6. The people who pay them don't want other people's voices competing with them. For all the whinging about anti-vax people... There are 1,000,000 times more deaths from products/ideas that won't be banned by social media giants. They won't be banned because they pay money to them. Let's not pretend this is about helping people, when it's obviously just profit based.
  7. To be honest, I wish I would have never gotten started working with technology. Go read a book of Dilbert comics and ask..."Is this what I want for my life?". Eventually, some pointy haired boss will say something so disconnected from reality that you'll die a little bit inside.
  8. If you're not planning to overclock, you shouldn't need more than a couple $20 fans from any reputable supplier (Nocuta, Coolermaster, Corsair...). Of course this is coming from someone with (3) 230mm fans and (3) 120mm fans.
  9. You're probably not going to save money in the long run. "Future Proof" is a misleading way of saying 2-3 more years of high quality gaming before replacement. Buy the best gear in your budget, but realize it's a small marginal longevity gain and not "Future Proof".
  10. Company I worked for bought new workstation PCs and asked me to package up an old one to ship to another office. They had a monitor but the person getting the computer was incapable of telling me which ports the monitor had on the back (first warning). So I put one of every imaginable cable in the box with it when I shipped it to them. I get an email the next week complaining that they need me to tell them what adapter they need to buy to make it work. Long story short, they had been trying to plug a VGA cable into the serial port on the motherboard I/O. Several phone calls later, I had to text them a picture of my hand pointing to the VGA port on the graphics card.
  11. Most CAD software (Catia, Solidworks...) can't use the extra threads unless you're rendering or doing FEA. Even then, they don't scale efficiently over multiple threads. For the most bang for your buck, get a cheap unlocked quad core, M.2 memory (Samsung 970 Pro), and an M2000 quadro GPU. Also, unless you're opening huge files, 32 GB of RAM is more than enough.
  12. It hurts to watch that video. Please hire a technical adviser.
  13. I got a Jetson Xavier from Nvidia. Kinda expected it to be like a higher powered arduino/raspberry pi. Now that I've started working with it I feel like I'd need a PHD in computer science to make it do anything useful. Anyone messing around with a Jetson Xavier?
  14. In theory, yes In practice, inferior compared to the alternatives. You could save a lot of money and just use a CO2 fire extinguisher if you're only going to test your idea in during an occasional benchmark. FYI, You're going to probably ruin your computer with condensation if you're using anything to cool parts below ambient without a well engineered system.
  15. I was thinking.. Well I drink coffee and it's fine... But then I realized I've spilled coffee over almost everything at least once.
  16. Update: Overclocking has begun Task Manager is showing 4.17 GHz Prime95: Temps are average 60 C with a quick spike to 85 C. Cinebench is now: CPU 1381 \ OpenGL 134.09 fps
  17. First Cinebench R15 scores: OpenGL 120.21 FPS CPU 1190 Not really sure if that's any good.
  18. Canon 80D 18-135mm f 3.5-5.6 Trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking for before buying a bunch of lenses.
  19. Booted from a USB that I made using this website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10. Installation successful! The system files on the USB I bought were corrupted. Also, Something is wrong with my DVD drive since the Windows DVD I burned didn't boot.
  20. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a new build I7-7800X MSI Tomahawk Mobo Quadro P4000 500 GB Evo 960 M.2 Drive only When I try to boot from the Windows 10 Pro boot USB, I get a 0xc0000225 error after the "Loading Files" screen. Tried: -Googling the error suggested turning on ACPI function in BIOS and I could not find an ACPI function. Unable to find anything about it on MSI website. No mention of ACPI in MSI tomahawk user manual. -Install Linux to make sure system works (It Does) -Flash the latest BIOS revision (No Change) -Made Bootable Windows installation disc (Doesn't read Disc) -I'm making an installation USB from windows website right now Any suggestions?
  21. Non-workstation graphics cards don't support all the features in Solidworks. Yes. Puget systems recommends 5 GB for Solidworks to run + 20 X (Biggest file you're going to open). 6 GB file is a reasonable upper bound for my file sizes. I honestly thought it would be a lot harder than it turned out to be. A little cable management and it's good to go.
  22. http://images.nvidia.com/content/pdf/quadro/data-sheets/301283-DS-NV-Quadro-Pascal-P4000-US-03Feb17-NV-fnl-WEB.pdf P4000 Just came out this year. It's got 8GB of VRAM.
  23. What is lacking that would make it unbalanced? FYI, It's for CAD, FEA, Simulation, and CFD. Programs that run mostly single thread with scalability dropping off after 6-8 cores during multi-core tasks.
  24. POST was successful last night. I might need to buy a new cooler. The H115 Corsair doesn't line up with the existing bolt down positions. I'm going to put in all the connectors (USB....), do some cable management and hit up microcenter on the weekend.
  25. The build has begun. Solidworks and Catia Keep it from getting too hot.
