  1. did that i3 have integrated graphics? because my cpu & mobo does not have integrated graphics.
  2. thanks for your experience, ill keep that in mind. but my pc does not have integrated graphics, regardless of whether its on the motheboard or the cpu. the cpu in question is the e5-2699 v3.
  3. doesn't a gpu still need to be present in the host machine to encode the RDP frames before its decoded on the client? the host is running windows 10 pro btw.
  4. Yes, i know it's not officially supported, but so is the case for my Quadro 2000. I thought my maximum resolution would be 2560 x 1600 on my quadro, but i was pleasantly surprised to see it work both natively and in a remote desktop application at 3440x1440. I want to know whether either of these two cards support that resolution because I want to free up the PCI-E slot my Quadro takes and get a legacy PCI version of the GT 610 or GT 520. It's a headless system anyways so as long as it works in remote desktop, I'll be satisfied. BONUS: if u can find any legacy PCI card better than the GT 610
  5. If I’m not mistaken, I would also need a SAS Backplane?
  6. I have a Dell T7810 without the optional SAS controller. I have a Seagate Exos X14 14TB SAS hard drive. I would like to connect them. Will this SAS to sata reverse breakout cable work? : https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-Breakout-SFF-8087/dp/B018YHS8LI Or else can someone point me solutions that cost less than $70?
  7. I am struggling to find information online but there was an ebay listing of a T7810 with 2x E5 2699 V3.
  8. Which of the 3 options should I go for?
  9. Guys I’m pretty dead set on the liquid cooling option. Both of my previous graphics cards were liquid cooled and I just want to get back to that. Of course when I get the new cooling system, I would do the thermal paste stuff.
  10. So um basically i am very disappointed in the cooling performance of my Zotac 1080Ti Amp Edition. It goes to 88C and starts downclocking and thermal throttling. I tried my friends waterforce 1080ti (50C max temps) on my system and i easily saw a 10fps increase on Assetto Corsa Competizione 3440x1440 VR Epic settings. So I had the idea to buy a Kraken G12 and a compatible CPU cooler, both used. I'm trying to make this as economically pragmatic as possible. So please advice me out of these options: Kraken G12 25USD + Antec Kuhler H20 620 18USD = 43USD Kraken G12 25USD + Thermaltake Water 3.0 120 Riing 33USD = 58USD ID-cooling Frostflow 120VGA 60USD (NEW) (I have the related ID-cooling Frostflow 120 on my CPU and i get 35-50C loads in ACC) = 60USD
  11. I am shopping in Singapore, mainly on these few websites: www.lazada.sg www.shopee.sg www.amazon.sg there are a couple suppliers and second hand sellers on this website i don't mind buying from too: www.carousell.sg
  12. I have a very old but good liquid cpu cooler, the Corsair H50, which has served me mightily for over 10 years. I currently have it on a push/pull configuration and i still get 40-45C idle and 60-70C when gaming on my 135W CPU. Recently, both the custom Cooler Master fans started choking; they are on their last legs. The pull fan occasionally hits the inner part of the radiator, creating a cranky noise, whereas the push fan is on "manual start" mode, which means it doesn't start itself. Basically I need to cop new fans. I was thinking about the Arctic P12 PWM PST CO, but I was like why am I spending $25 for my 10 year old cooler? Maybe I could use them in the inevitable future CPU cooler, but is that really the economical way forward. On the other hand, if I buy fans half the price, will they really be an upgrade for the pre-installed fans on my future CPU cooler? What is the most economical solution here? Also recommend me some fans for half the price if it comes to that. (I need them to be minimally 25mm in height)
  13. Can’t boot when connected to 3440x1440 monitor My build is not standard by any means. The boot process goes like this: Legacy BIOS -> Clover USB EFI bootloader (on a physical USB stick) -> Windows Boot Manager -> Windows 10. I have two monitors, a random 1080p TN Dell monitor (HDMI) and an Acer Predator X34 (DP). Thing is my BIOS would refuse to boot into Clover when my DP is plugged in. Like I can see the OEM BIOS logo but it just refuses to boot into the EFI bootloader. Not sure whether it is a resolution thing or a DP thing. Boots totally fine with the 1080p monitor btw. Turning my X34 off just doesn’t output anything. I wonder how to make my 1080p monitor the primary monitor without permanently doing that in Windows. Right now I just plug in the DP cable after windows loads. Motherboard is a Supermicro X8DTL-i GPU is a Zotac 1080Ti Boot device is just a USB stick which was DFU configured with Clover SSD is an Intel 660P 1TB NVME
  14. i mean it's true gaming is a big hobby, but i need blender and premiere pro for my college and part time business as well.
  15. i've watched that video before, all the tech yes city ones as well. i've had dual xeons for years
  16. i'm very much familiar with the cons... but as i said, dual xeons are non-negotiable...
  17. pure fps is literally not that big of a concern in regards to buying a ryzen for the same price. $90 per cpu is pretty cheap if i go for the 2667 v2s. that psu is top of the ltt tier list. idk man i hate 6 core cpus. i got a 6 core laptop cpu with a 2070 mobile and i still lag playing fifa while watching a live stream. no problem with my old dual xeon build...
  18. Budget (including currency): `1500USD Country: USA, Singapore Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly Assetto Corsa Competizone in VR (Samsung HMD+ Odyssey), FIFA 21 (all future FIFA games), Rocket League, CSGO, Adobe Premiere, Blender Other details My monitor is an Acer Predator X34 so 3440 x 1440 100+ hz. I'm mostly done with the idea, just want to ensure compatibility... here's the rough part list: 2 x E5-2673 V2 (maybe E5-2667 V2 cos its $70 cheaper idk) $320/$180 2x used 240mm rads for each cpu (1 owned) $40 Supermicro X9DAX-iF EE-ATX motherboard $140 (can it bclk oc, even just a tiny bit?) 8 x 16GB DDR3-1866 LRDIMMS $200 Intel 660p 1TB NVME (already owned, can it NVME boot with a bios mod or maybe Clover?) $0 PCIE NVME adapter $10 Front panel power button, lights etc $5 FSP Aurum PT 1200W $100 Soundblaster G6X $120 TP-Link TX3000 $40 4TB HDD $40 some case fans to cool the motherboard $10 Case is just my shelf-rack and some electrical tape cos i literally cba to pay a fortune for a case since i have so much room anyways around $700 for the rest of the PC recommend me a graphics card for my use case and tell me if i am missing something (i don't mind bios modding it and overclocking the nuts out of it, in fact i would prefer that, also i'm a sucker for liquid cooled ones) P.S. i really want to be able to watch my friends stream on discord while i play fifa with no input/ fps lag (impossible with my 9750H 2070 mobile laptop) (should i just pop in a spare Gt 640 i have?) thank you
  19. so should this work: https://www.moddiy.com/products/ENERMAX-Revolution-12-Pin-to-8{47}4%2dPin-CPU{47}RAM-Modular-Sleeved-Cable.html i can get like 2 of these so i'll be 16pin modular to cpu0 included 12pin modular to cpu1 + mbd0 (4pin) first purchased 12pin modular to cpu2 + mbd1 (4pin) second purchased 12pin modular to cpu3
  20. i overclocked my other Titan X (not Xp), the original X and bios modded it and ramped up the core voltage for a +630 core overclock. Power consumption rose like mad.
  21. really? my titan x consumes >400W and it only has 1 8 pin + 1 6 pin (running stable 24/7 for a year, measured with wall wattage tester), pretty sure since PCI-E 2.0 standards its 150W for 6 pin and 300W for 6+2 pin PCI-E
  22. okay guys how about this. if molex is so unsafe can i use 6 pin PCI-E to 8 pin EPS connectors instead? https://www.amazon.com/inch-6PIN-PCIE-P4-12V-Adapter/dp/B01EEOW3CA
  23. 4 x E7-8895 v2 Supermicro X10QBI 320GB RAM Titan Xp i am making a custom case so i can accommodate any reasonable form factor psu
