    I don't know where to find them. Not many options on ebay for Vega. 

    I bought mine off of the EK site. It's usually out of stock so look at Performancepcs. Just make sure you buy what you want correctly because even though they'll check the order a bit for you (i ordered 30 things, all nickel, accidentally ordered 2 black nickel pieces. They sent me an email asking me if I had ordered the wrong pieces, which I did) returns suck since they deduct 20% no matter what.

    What do you have? Is that your PC in your avatar? I would like PETG, glass would be cool but I'm sure it's harder and more expensive.. I don't like copper pipes.. 

    Petg is able to be cut like soft tubing. Acrylic must be sawed or cut with the spin cutter, glass can only be used with a Demel or a spin cutter. You will need to heat and bend glass just like acrylic, but you will need an actual blowtorch. I personally use acrylic. Its a good middle ground between petg and glass.

    I plan on OC but would it be stupid if I went for the 9700k rather than the 8700k?

    It depends. Ill is essentially the same for gaming only. Its not like a 8700K will become obsolete way before a 9700k. Itll last you a way whiles.

    The thing is I live in Denmark and with our tax system the prices are WAAAAAAY different from the ones you guys are finding. The MSI Trio Gaming is $1050 and the 2080 Ti prices start around $1500. This also means that the MSI card isnt actually overpriced here compared to other cards. I'm not entirely sure if it's up there performance wise compared to other cards but from a price point of view it's not too bad for me compared to an ASUS card

    I assume that Recuva dates the file with the date it was retrieved, so filtering by date may not be an option to re-organize, but I could be wrong! I'm trying to remember because it's been a while since I last used it.

    Theres a filter by date, but it bundles dates by modified, which means that different sessions are combined together >.<

    Would you recommend that I went for a core with hyperthreading like the 8700k or what would be my best choice in your opinion? I'm open for suggestions

    For ME personally, ill use the threads as I edit pictures and video and threads help to speed up exports. However, if you're just gaming only, I see no need to spend extra money on a feature you'll never use. Between a 9600k and an 8700k, i PERSONALLY would take the 8700k simply because it does hyperthread to 12 threads. (9600k doesn't support HT) Single core performance and the price is around the same (depending on where you get it)  If you're up for it too, you can OC the 8700k. For gaming only, get the 9600k since you won't use the threads

     

    TL;DR:

    Gaming only: won't use the threads, so get a 9600k, save ~~$80. Gaming uses 1 core usually, HT will have no effect

    Gaming/working on multithreaded stuff: get a 8700k. Spend ~~$80 for HT, which you WILL use for multithreaded stuff

    That's okay, I understand. It surprised me too the first time I used it and then I realized what it could do but the fact that everything is disorganized tires me. If you have enough time you could save some bucks by recovering everything in a folder and then go review file by file and go organizing them manually in separate folders???? Or you could use a tool that organizes everything for you. 

    Yeah, i was going to do that manually. My desktop isnt finished yet, so I'm viewing 42mb raws over wifi which suckssssss. It look me 10 minutes to organize 40 pictures lmao. Does the tool organize by creation date or modified date? I often edit pictures from different sessions on the same day.

    You see, funny thing. I haven't watched the what is hyperthreading video yet so I'm unable to answer that

    the easy way to explain it is that it splits each physical core into 2.

     

    example

     

    Core 1 (out of 8 or 6 or whatever, they all do this)

    -------------

    60% usage

    -------------

     

    it takes it then says alright, split it

    Core 1(physical).         Core 1(virtual)

    ---------------               ----------------

    60% usage.                 40% non-usage

    ---------------               ----------------

     

    It then puts load on the 40% non used core to fully use the entire core.

     

    Core 1(physical).         Core 1(virtual)

    ---------------               ----------------

    60% usage.                 40% usage

    ---------------               ----------------

     

    It doesn't always scale to 100% though, depending on the application. 100% usage on every single core, physical or virtual will cause your computer to hang. Every physical core will do this. so 8C, 16T, or 6C, 12T or whatever

     

    A vid will explain it better than me :) Look for techquickie

    Yes, I know! Although it is impressive (and free), that specific thing is something I do not like about him, Recuva and I continue to be friends thou.?

    Yeah, I was so surprised that it found everything too! Maybe ill just redownload EaseUS and try it again. I just didn't want to spend $35 on something I'm never going to use again. I bought a Synology NAS that holds 21TB at the moment in raid 6. Next time in the future, I can just throw a new drive in instead of having to read from it again through windows

    Pretty much all the parts are just examples I don't really know what is the best price to performance. The drive is just a random pick. Thanks I'll see if I can buy that PSU where I live :)

    youll be fine with a 8700k instead of that processor you have now if you're really only going to do gaming (no editing etc) although a 8700k is still more than adequate for editing

    You will probably be asked to pay a certain amount of money, the free tools may or may not do what you are looking for.

    I see. Ive used recuva on the dead drive and was able to find all 20k of my files, but its basically saved into one large folder with no structure.  >.<

    I use EaseUS, this may help you too:

    Ive tried it, but it requires i pay for it or something? Maybe im not looking at the right place lol

    As far as I'm aware you can just read from it as normal, is that not the case?

    Nu uh, its not even mounting. It shows up in disk manager as a dynamic disk and the only way i can mount it is if i do a full wipe of it.

    Hi guys,

     

    So... my raid 1 finally died. I've had 2 drives, of which one of them died. How do I pull data off the living drive with the folders/file structure still intact? It's currently a dynamic disk, so I'm not sure how to read from it without wiping data. The raid was created using the windows "mirror" feature for disks, so no raid cards or anything, just straight sata from the drive to the motherboard.

     

    Thanks guys!

    Active Directory. Domain if you will. Have you ever been in a school or office and have to input a username & password to use their computer? That is a Domain. Your credentials are held on a server either locally or remotely and as you login a query is sent to the server. If you're in the list. You're granted access and allowed permission to use the computer and given certain permissions to access network resources. Your access to the Internet can also be controlled & tracked/monitored (I do believe that is another application doing that though).

    Ahhh, so a permissions login sort of thing. Synology has that built in. Heres mine: http://eeiean.quickconnect.to

     

    *edit: kidding, i turned it off this morn

    *edit2: kidding, it was just on sleep mode. Me opening the link sent it a wake up query

    I don't know how big their company is but I wouldn't recommend a consumer grade NAS especially if the network requires AD. AD is commonly the responsibility of the networks storage server (Unless you get into really big businesses in which case some servers are dedicated to just AD or even managed routers can act as the AD host/controller).

     

    leadeater might hop in and tell me just how much more complicated that can get but my point stands that a consumer NAS doesn't belong in a business.

    It supports raid and all that though, and it allows people to drop stuff in remotely. Whats AD?

    I should have phrased that post better. When I said "off-site" I was more referring to a "remote-site". One owned and currently operated by them (Obviously I don't know if they have one). That would enable them to tap off their ISP there and run the server from that site effectively being a "cloud" (I would just call it off-site storage, remote-storage, off-campus storage, whatever makes sense to you) at no long term additional cost. Besides the electric bill.

    yeah, just get a synology or a qnap man. you can upgrade storage and upload through a link (on the synology as far as i know, had no experience on qnap)
