Linus : It starts at $1500 Me: looks at myself with $20 in my wallet

@Derrk It is Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz for $98.70 AUD

I was browsing au.pcpartpicker.com and I came upon this and was wondering if it was a good deal or should I wait till Boxing Day (Tomorrow)? https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0143UM4TC?tag=pcppau-22&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

@Slottr I use a variety: Go, Javascript, Actionscript, Node.js, Python, C, C#, C++, just to name a thew

So i just reinstalled windows due to me moving to an SSD and I was wondering now that I'm starting from anew, what are some programs i should download for programmimng??

Australia - Programming, Graphic Design and Motion Design Build What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using. Planning to use it for programming, graphic design and motion design. Programs include Visual Studio, VS Code, Adobe CC (in particular, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere). I would like to be able to do some casual gaming but not essential. What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? AU~$2500-2750 When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. Within the next 6 months. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc) I already have a mouse and 2x 1080p monitors. I just need the case and everything inside of it. Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? Mackay, Australia Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU? I would eventually overclock down the line Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc) I would prefer for it to be a Micro ATX system with a Ryzen 2700x, NVME M.2 SSD and then a 2TB hard drive for storage purposes Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference? No Extra info or particulars: I'd like to have the ability to upgrade parts in the future. The cost needs to be in AUD!!!

Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. Within the next 6 months. (I know that your build will become out of date but I'd like to know what is possible within my budget today.) What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc) I already have a mouse and 1080p monitor. Basically I need the case and everything inside it. I'll need a good keyboard. I've only had experience with chiclets but I'd like something that isn't too noisy but good for productivity/coding. Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? Melbourne, Australia If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor U2417H 23.8" 1080p Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU? Not sure - what would be the impacts if I decided to? Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc) 256 GB SSD would be ideal, with perhaps a 500 GB HDD, although that's not essential. If it's better value to get a 1 TB HDD then that'd be OK as well. Edit: I've been informed that Adobe CC products have support for CUDA acceleration. So it'd be preferable to have anything that is optimised for CC products. Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components? I'd like the case to have a premium look in black. Size doesn't matter for me, so it can be a full size tower. Preferably no windows, although happy to have a window if it is cheaper. Don't care about LED lighting. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference? Yes. Windows 10 Pro. Extra info or particulars: I'd like to have the ability to upgrade parts in the future. The graphic/motion design work that I do is on the side - I don't do it full time but I do do it most days on the side. It doesn't need to be a beast, but good enough for me to do After Effects work with minimal lag. I might be moving to the UK in the future. How will the power supply be impacted by moving abroad? Both Australia and the UK's power grids are 50 Hz so I assume that it'll be OK? The cost needs to be in AUD!!!

Hi all, So its that time of they year again where Christmas is near and the school holidays are coming up meaning us school students get more work hours during the holidays. With already having ~$1000 already in my back account i want to definitely, eventually upgrade my PC over the holiday with the overall cost of it being give or take ~$3000-$3500. What i need to have: Run a triple monitor setup Ability to run 3D Cad/Cam software Ability to run 3D rendering software able to run most AAA & FPS games at 60-90 FPS can support overclocking (not too much though)] at least 32GB's of ram (if possible with price range) 2TB HardDrive NVME M.2 240GB 2-3 PCI Slots Liquid AIO Cooler A case to support it all and... Fans Is that possible within the price range?? if not I can hit the max at $4000

@LinusTech @CPotter Why isn't this on youtube?? Did someone forget to upload it?? Or did intel specify where it wanted it to be streamed??

threads on a cpu vs threads

@thford89 it would be best to contact 45 Drives or ask on their forum. Website: https://www.45drives.com/forum/

Hi all, Currently I am look at building a new computer for around $700 AUD I have specific requirements that must be met. REQUIREMENTS: · Have support for a dual monitor setup · Ability to be upgraded in the future · Can run CAD/CAM software · Must be able to play most games at a reasonable frame rate (60-90FPS) · Doesn’t not need to include peripherals · Must have at least 3-4 pci slots It is something that is needed urgently as his birthday is in 4 weeks.

Hey, Thank you for that. That has made my life easier than having to watch through hours of wan show footage to find it.

Hi all, I have seen schools where upon logging in a script such as "Win8Logon.vbs" will run and apply certain settings to the computer. Is there a way i can do this but instead of having it on a server, have it be on the pc itself. *Mention me as it is almost 12:00pm here*

Can someone provide me with the link to the kick starter bag they keep showing in Wan show?? Can’t seem to find the link for it.

https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/06/07/2127248/severe-firmware-vulnerabilities-found-in-popular-supermicro-server-products Security researchers have uncovered vulnerabilities affecting the firmware of Supermicro server products. Discovered by the Eclypsium team, these vulnerabilities affect both older and newer models of Supermicro products, but the vendor is working on addressing the issues. These vulnerabilities do not put the safety of Supermicro products at direct risk, as they can only be exploited via malicious software/code (aka malware) already running on a system. Nevertheless, exploiting these vulnerabilities allows the malware to obtain an almost permanent foothold on infected systems by gaining the ability to survive server OS reinstalls by hiding in the hardware's firmware. Malware can modify Descriptor Region settings The first of the flaws uncovered by Eclypsium researchers is not an actual vulnerability in the firmware's code, but in the configuration of some Supermicro products. Researchers say that some of these products come with firmware that uses an improper setting for the "Descriptor Region." The Descriptor Region is a security feature of Intel-based chipsets. This setting tells the chipset what areas of its own flash storage external parties can access to store data such as firmware or configuration files. According to Eclypsium researchers, some Supermicro products had an incorrectly set Descriptor Region that allowed software running on the OS (such as malware) to modify the Descriptor Region and then tamper with local firmware. "Eclypsium researchers have observed vulnerable descriptor access controls through runtime examination of various server firmware models," the Eclypsium team wrote in a report published today. "This manual analysis uncovered multiple server models that allowed writes to the flash descriptor from host software. According to Supermicro, some of the products we reviewed date back to 2008 and are currently EOL and no longer supported." No firmware authentication for some products But while modifying the Descriptor Region setting may be possible on some Supermicro products, tampering with the local firmware isn't as easy as it sounds, as several security mechanisms prevent malicious actors from altering a computer or server's most important code. Here is where the second series of issues that the Eclypsium team discovered came into play. "We have observed insecure firmware updates through runtime examination of various systems. This manual analysis uncovered that Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ and X10SLM-F systems did not securely authenticate firmware updates," the research team said. "We confirmed this result by intentionally modifying the binary in official Supermicro firmware images and observing that the system firmware still accepted and installed the modified package." No firmware rollback protection But the issues didn't stop here, and the Eclypsium team also noted a lack of anti-rollback protections for firmware images. This anti-rollback protection is crucial for situations where the vendor checks for firmware authenticity. A firmware anti-rollback protection would prevent attackers from replacing newer firmware with an older (legitimate) firmware image that contains flaws that attackers can exploit and gain a foothold on all-of-a-sudden vulnerable systems. Supermicro working on fixes Eclypsium says it notified Supermicro about all the issues they discovered in the firmware of their products back in January. "Supermicro has been supportive of our efforts and prioritized understanding and mitigating the issues we have discovered," Eclypsium says, "For the current generation of products, Supermicro indicated that they have already implemented a signed firmware update for several products and are making this update generally available for all future systems. "Similarly, for OEM customers who require rollback capability for their customized and locked firmware versions to ensure business continuity, Supermicro indicated that they are supporting anti-rollback as an option for their X11 generation firmware. "The SPI flash descriptor is read-only on most boards and we are helping Supermicro identify specific models where this may be incorrectly set." Impacted models For owners of Supermicro server hardware, Eclypsium has released instructions on how to check the descriptor access controls of their own systems. These procedures require installing and running the CHIPSEC Framework, a tool co-created by one of Eclypsium founders while working for Intel. All the server owner has to do is to run the following command: chipsec_main -m common.spi_access If this test fails, then the current descriptor values offer no protection, because they can be changed. If an attacker were to exploit insecure firmware updates, the obvious goal would be to somehow alter the firmware. This enables very stealthy and persistent malware that can bypass many security controls. However, it may be possible to detect such malware (if it has not taken explicit steps to prevent this). To defend against these attacks, it is possible to collect hashes of firmware modules. These can be validated against a whitelist from firmware provided by the vendor. If unexpected changes are discovered, expert analysis will be needed to manually assess them. Bleeping Computer has sent a request for comment to Supermicro days before this article's publication. We asked Supermicro to confirm the Eclypsium research and inquired for a list of Supermicro platforms affected by the reported security issues, but we have not heard back before this article's publication time. Until Supermicro responds or publishes an official security advisory with a list of affected models, Eclypsium CEO and Founder Yuriy Bulygin was kind enough to share with Bleeping Computer the list of Supermicro products they believe to be affected. "For the missing UEFI update protections, it appears that a majority or all of X8, X9, X10 generation server products, and a majority of X11 generation server products are affected," Bulygin told Bleeping Computer via email. "We don’t know exact number of affected models but we found 1184 unique firmware images for at least 233 unique X8-X11 server models." "For the flash descriptor issue we found close to 500 firmware images with this issue which translates to about 110 different models (some of them may be old). The list is below:" X11SSZ X11SSV X11SSQL X11SSQ X11SSN X11SRM X11SRA X11SBA X11SAT X11SAE_M X11SAE X10SRW X10SRM X10SRL X10SRI X10SRH X10SRG X10SRD X10SRA X10SDVT X10SDVF X10SDE X10SDDF X10SBA X10QRH X10DSN X10DSCP X10DSC X10DRX X10DRWN X10DRW X10DRUX X10DRUL X10DRU X10DRTS X10DRTPS X10DRTL X10DRTH X10DRTB X10DRT X10DRS X10DRLN X10DRLC X10DRL X10DRI1 X10DRH4 X10DRH X10DRGO X10DRGH X10DRG X10DRFR X10DRFG X10DRFF X10DRDL X10DRD X10DRC X10DGO X10DDWN X10DDWI X10DDW4 X10DDW3 X10DAX X10DALI X10DAL X10DAI B10DRT B10DRI B10DRG X9SAE X9DRTH X9DRGQF X9DRFFP X9DRF X9DBL X8SIU X8SIT X8SIL X8SIE X8SIA K1SPI K1SPES C9X299 C7Z97OC C7Z97MF C7Z87OC C7Z370L C7Z370I C7Z270P C7Z270M C7Z270L C7Z270CG C7Z270C C7Z170OCE C7Z170O C7Z170 C7X99OC C7Q270 C7H270 C7B250 B1SD2TF B1SA4 B1DRI A2SAV A2SAP A2SAN A1SRM A1SAM A1SAI1 A1SAI A1SA ALL Credit goes to its original authors https://blog.eclypsium.com/2018/06/07/firmware-vulnerabilities-in-supermicro-systems/ https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/06/07/2127248/severe-firmware-vulnerabilities-found-in-popular-supermicro-server-products https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/firmware-vulnerabilities-disclosed-in-supermicro-server-products/
