Hi guys! I have accidentally broken a pin on my mobo (asrock z270 pro4). I would like to know whether it was an important or not important pin. Seems like a VCCAXG pin to me which is iGpu Vcore as far as i know. Is that a problem if i use a dedicated graphics card? Can i still overclock ram and cpu (i7 6700k) like this (if it starts at all ofc)? Thank you.

Greetings guys, Thanks for your ideas. I have tried the LTT method today but I can't seem to pass through the amd 6850 asus card. The card itself is working 100% sure as it gives signal if used instead of the integrated graphics for the server application or to enter bios or just to extend a display. It showed up in the same iommu group first but I was able to do a workaround using the 6.4. Server's ACS override. I can assign it to a vm but no matter what did i disable or change to lower or higher level, it won't give me a signal. Nvidia card is working well. I even tried to swap them in the mobo if it was maybe the pcie slot, but no. Keyboard and mouse lights up, but no signal on monitor. I also checked the cables. Tried using vga blue head cable with dvi head converter(since there is no vga on the card, only dp, hdmi and dvi) still nothing. Any ideas why does it not want to give a signal?

Greetings! I have the following hardware available: CPU: i5 4690K overclocked to 4.4GHZ GPUs: MSI ARMOR GTX 1070 8GB overclockable by 20% + ATI HD 6850 1GB overclockable by 20% RAM kits: 2x2 GB ADATA overclocked to 1866 + 2x4 GB HYPER X FURY 1866 MOTHERBOARD: ASROCK Z97 EXTREME 4/3.1 PSU: FSP HYPER 700W SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB HDDs: 1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA + 500GB WD BLUE + 1TB TOSHIBA NETWORK ADAPTERs: MEDIATEK 802.11ac WIRELESS LAN CARD (connected via USB) + TL WN722N WIRELESS ADAPTER (not in use) DISPLAYs: ASUS VS247HR + BENQ EW2430 KEYBOARDs: MODECOM GAMING KEYBOARD + HAMA EXODUS MACRO KEYBOARD MICE: LOGITECH G402 MOUSE + A4TECH BLOODY MOUSE MICROPHONE: BLUE YETI SOUND: Maxell BT-03 SPEAKERS (can be connected via 3.5mm jack or USB) + SAMSON SA850 HEADPHONES + SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 HEADSET (5m cable extensions possible) + BENQ BUILT IN SPEAKERS Purchasing stuff unfortunately is not an option right now. I am poor atm. I would like to create 2 gamers 1 rig composition. The main goal of the rig is that two player could play TERA Online (MMORPG) on two separate displays, with separate sound, keyboard, mouse and IP addresses. It is more of a CPU demanding game rather than a GPU demanding one. Measurements made with MSI Afterburner: *The ATI 6850 1GB on its own uses 50-60% when this game is played. *The GTX 1070 uses around 20%. *The game runs smoothly on 2-cores, using around 70%-80% of the i5. When on 4-cores it uses around 50%. I am interested in any solution you can offer to me and I appreciate any idea. I have met with the idea of virtualisation two weeks ago. I have become familiar with VMware Workstation pro 12.5 and 14. These have the option to 3D Acceleration which boosts graphics performance but it isn't a quite like PCI GPU Passthrough as I have heard. I have read about similar situations where they used the terms KVM and vSPHERE. I am not completely familiar with these terms and I have only guesses what they mean exactly. I can imagine that they are server level virtualisation that allow a firmware/kernel to manage multiple VMs with retaining high hardware performance as certain hardware can be directly assigned to certain VMs instead of running around the OS. Please correct and enlighten me if I am wrong with that idea. I am not sure that this is the good solution for me since I want a maximum of two VMs. I am open to anything, except purchasing new expensive stuff to create another PC. I am willing and interested in learning handling Linux if needed. My goal would be splitting this machine into two somehow like this: CPU: (( 2x 4.4 GHz core // 2x 4.4 GHz core )) GPU: (( 1070 // 6850 )) RAM: (( 6 GB // 6 GB )) or (( 8 GB // 4GB )) STORAGE: (( SSD: 120 GB HDD: 2 TB // SSD: 120 GB HDD: 500 GB )) or if SSD cannot be shared (( SSD: 250 GB HDD: 2 TB // HDD: 500 GB )) NETWORK ADAPTER: (( both on Mediatek 802.11ac )) or (( Mediatek 802.11ac // TL WN722N )) whichever solution solves separate IP addresses DISPLAY: (( BENQ // ASUS )) KEYBOARD: (( HAMA // MODECOM )) MOUSE: (( LOGITECH // A4TECH )) SOUND: (( SAMSON // SAMSUNG HEADSET )) Thank you very much for reading and considering any solution, comment on my problem. Love you!

Greetings! I am new on the forum and this is my very first post. Since the first linus 2 gamers 1 pc rig video I was wondering about making one, I just couldn't afford doing so so far. I would like to upgrade my current system, add and change items to make it work. My goal is 2 persons gamimg from the same rig via unraid. (Me and my girlfriend) 1080p60 would be preferable, but not necessary for both PCs. My current system specs are: i5 4690k 4.5Ghz (planning to change for a Ryzen 1700x) HyperX 8GB FURY DDR3 1866MHz CL10 KIT HX318C10FBK2/8 (planning to change for 32 GB DDR4) GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC (planning to add a GTX 960 4 GB as second, if that is not enough, planning to buy a GTX 1060 6 GB) ASRock z97 Extreme 4 3.1 motherboard (planning to upgrade to B350 or X370, idk which one would be better) FSP Hyper M 700w COOLERMASTER Hyper 212 EVO (idk if it has to be changed) Storage: (idk if it has to be changed, or smg new added) Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SEAGATE Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 ST1000DM003 WD blue 500 GB RAIJINTEK Agos atx PC case I already have a second 1080 monitor and second set of peripherals. I would ask for your help to decide what to buy, change and add to my existing pc. Any advice would be more than highly appreciated. My budget is around 900 british pounds. Thank you very much.
