  1. Hello, I'm currently building a VM/Nas server with eight 16 terabyte Western Digital DC hard drives. And I'm trying to decide on what type of SSD's to get that will act as a cache and hot storage device. I've done a fair bit of research on Intel's Enterprise ssds and for the price point I really like them. Before I decided for sure though I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with the Datacenter nvme SSD for either Seagate Western Digital or Samsung. Thanks
  2. I know you said without defragmenting, but I highly recommend using an application called ultimate defrag. You have really fine granular control over where each file is located on the hard drive and it will defragment it so well that it'll decrease your response time and latency overall quite noticeably. I Have tried all the different defrag apps that have used it is easily the best.
  3. Hello, The last couple of months and completely out of no where my 4g data randomly stops working. The status bar icon shows that it's stuck on upload and won't download any data. The only way I've found to fix it outside of restarting the phone is to change the cell band type from auto to wcdma then back. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Second issue is with Magisk and I know this is for Samsung but I figure why not ask anyway. As of yesterday after a reboot I lost root. Magisk apps shows I need to install magisk and install the app even though I'm in the app. Also a bunch of my apps are acting like I've never uzed them before and they need to be setup again. I haven't installed any updates so I'm not sure what caused it. I've tried completely uninstalling Magisk and reinstall and that didn't do anything. The install went through fine but after launching the app it still says no root. Any ideas? Thanks
  4. Hello, I've been in IT for 12 years now and more recently started to make our golden image for the company. For our staff computers I only have one question. 1. For each browser ie. Chrome, Firefox, Edge whenever a new user account is created in Windows, each browser will have its default settings. Is there anyway to set custom settings for a browser that are used as the default for any new windows account? I thought about putting the default for for Chrome and profile folder for Firefox in the default user app data folder to see if it would work, but before I did I thought I should ask. We also have public computers that have to be restricted so people can't access or change certain things. 2. I SYSPREP the images so keeping that in mind what will be the best way to carry over any GPO settings I've set in gpedit.msc? Similarly, is there an application I can use to essentially create a restricted locked down profile that can be easily turned on or off, like DeepFreeze but for user account restrictions instead? Thanks I
  5. That all seems to be the general consensus everywhere else I posted this as well lol thanks everyone.
  6. Hi, I have used this app for close to a decade or more and absolutely love it. I have gone through the help documentation before and think I understand it well enough to have gotten some pretty good results but I am curious to see if anyone else uses it and what settings you use? This app gives by far the best control of defragging your hard drive with the ability to choose file placement and even the ability to defrag the mft and where to place it. If you don't use it I highly highly recommend it. Lastly there are a number of different methods you can choose from on how you want to defrag your HDD. I choose Folder/File Name with the thinking that since I choose what order I want what folders to go in, I place all the stuff I want as High Performance to the outside of the platter and the stiff I don't to the inside. Then since it is by folder and file name, it should be the best/most responsive because windows look for things in a preferably alphabetical order, right? My thinking is that if Windows does look for things in an alphabetical order, then this would be the best way to store everything. Anyone know if I am right? If not, then what would be the best way to sort my files on my HDD? I'm looking for in the end to have the most ideal file placement inevitably on my HDD. Thanks
  7. No not at all, I'm looking for an enclosure that doesn't require a cable to use and one that is smaller something closer to this https://www.ebay.com/itm/123501566369 but with caps or retractable usb plugs as to not get broken off.
  8. Yes that post was extremely helpful thank you
  9. Hi, I'm currently wanting to build a custom NVME flash drive but I am having some issues trying to filter through the enclosures for ones specifically with a USB A/C end. Does anyone know of a way either through some keyword or perhaps website that has these listed so I don't have to go through countless pages of enclosure trying to find the handful that can be used without a cable? If not then in the same line of questions, anyone have any recommended enclosure that is cordless and ideally has a USB-A and USB-C tip so that it would be more compatible. If not one with dual tips then just the fastest, decently durable usb-c enclosure that fits a 2230 or 2242 nvme. Thanks
  10. I haven't ever found a name or type, although the link in the second post has been extremely helpful, definitely start looking there. That is part of the reason I actually decided to switch to the Corsair ends. Something I just noticed as well, similar to molex's 4 pin male fan connector, I think you can just use a male to female connector with pins on one side and holes on the other that you can find on moddiy and just solder you cables onto the male ends, then plug whatever you need to into the female portion and it will get the job done. You wont have the entire connector put it should still function just fine and actually be a lot more sleek and easier to sleeve if this makes sense.
  11. Hi, To better cable manage my computer I just built, I want to make custom length cables and had a few questions I was hoping someone could help me with. I'm going to start by doing the fan cable mod BitWit suggests and essentially trimming down the cables to as close as possible to the fan itself then making custom cables to go from the fan to the controller/mobo. So my questions, I have Enermax Squa RGB fans that use a normal 5v 3 pin connector, I should be able to change the connector to the same one Corsair uses on their fans right? I like them more because they actually lock and don't fall apart all the time. After changing the connector I planned on making a custom cable that runs from the now corsair plug of the fan then splices the three fans together and eventually ends in a aquacomputer rgbpx connector to plug into a fabwerk. Anyone happen to know the name/type of a normal 5v 3 pin ARGB connector, as well as the Corsair one and lastly the Aquacomputer one? Also the argb cable is only 3 wires, but the aquacomputer rgbpx is 4 I think,anyone have any idea how would I do this? Anyone have any suggestions on doing this? or any tips on something I might be missing for forgetting? Thanks
  12. After reading all the comments which I much appreciate btw, I've decided since I'm making custom length cables that I'm going to just switch the ends anyway and use the locking corsair type on my fans and splitter cable going to the rgbpx end. Thank you all for the help.
  13. I've looked I feel like everywhere and can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. What kind of connector is a 3 pin argb connector? What brand and type would be super helpful. Also if anyone knows the specific microblade connector that aquacomputer uses for its rgbpx. Also I'm wanting to make argb to rgbpx cables, the rgbpx is what aquacomputer uses. For cable management purposes I'm going to do the cable mod that bitwit does and trim the existing power and rgb cables on my fans down to super short then I want to make a a single spliced cable that connects all the fans together and ends in a single rgbpx end that plugs into an octo/fabwerk. Is the only way to connect the argb fan connector to a cable to use the 3 pin male adapter? I can't be the only one that thinks these things sucks and fall out all the time thus begging the question aside from using tape or the ek cable ties, is there any better way to get the cables to connect more seamlessly and tightly?
  14. Hi, Hi I've asked questions regarding this before but I was looking for a little bit more help with a couple of ideas I recently came up with. I currently have a case that is similar to a Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic but it is smaller, just slightly but smaller. Now I didn't anticipate my new GPU (EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3) being so long and as a result I had to remove my middle radiator fan, this has been bugging me and I've been trying to find a solution for what to put there. After doing some research and asking around on here I came to the conclusion that removing the push-pull configuration from my radiator might actually be quite plausible with an potentially small or unperceptable decrease in overall cooling. Obviously transitioning to either a push or pull config will give me enough space to put the third fan back on and and actually look proper. This is only part of my overall issue though, as you can see on the top and the bottom there's only two fans as well. I initially thought I'd be able to fit three but the case is just slightly not long enough or wide enough. Which brings me to my ideas. My eventual goad is to get a 3080 TI or when a better water block comes out for my 3070 I plan on water cooling that as well. As you can see though I'd be limited to a 240 mm Radiator on either the top or bottom, or I can add two 240mm radiators to the case effectivly bringing my cooling capacity to one slim 360mm and likely to regular 240mm for a grand total of 600 mm of radiator. Now while that is a potential solution I also had a couple of other ideas I wanted to run by you guys and see what you thought. 1. Mount the GPU where my 360 degree mm radiator currently is and move my radiator to either the bottom, top, or into the rear compartment. I already measured it and I can fit my radiator plus a set of normal height fans into the rear compartment without modification. 1a. Mounting my GPU where the radiator is currently, and mounting the radiator either on the top or bottom which would open up the case quite a bit. I would be able to not only install another 360 mm radiator to either the top or bottom but I would also be able to have three fans effectively on the top, side and bottom which should help with cooling quite a bit. Now the rear panel of the case both in the front and in the back have two 80mm fan mounts. I know that leaving that side part of the case as an intake from the research I've done is the most effective for overall cooling of the entire case but if I put the GPU there with a water block and then install two fans for the rear and the front making the rear fans into an intake and the front fans into in exhaust I feel like with the additional fan on the top and bottom it would pretty much equal itself out. If the performance isn't quite up to par as I would like worst case scenario I could always Mount three additional fans on the rear panel because I have a vented area directly behind that side radiator mount on the back panel. 2. As I said I'd leave the GPU where it is and mount a 240mm radiator to the top, bottom, or a radiator to both the top and bottom for the GPU Cooling. 3. Vertical Mount the GPS you in the traditional sense and cover-up all my pcie slots and move my hyper quad card to the bottom one and hope that it all fits which I don't think that it will. All that said I could always just switch my case to the actual 011 dynamic but the reason I bought this case instead of that to begin with was because this one is slightly smaller, and I absolutely cannot stand the unnecessary thick black bars on the glass. As you can see on my case when you look it up (Inter-tech C-701 Panorama) my glass only has black bars on the top, rear, and in the bottom and on the front it's just glass, the manufacturer also removed the pillar there that you would find on the 011 making for a very seamless visual. All that coupled with the fact that I paid $120 to get this case powder coated white makes me want to keep it all its flaws and all. However my eventual end game for this case, is to eventually either replace the glass panels or install an electric switchable mirrored film / glass. I love the pcmr edition of the 011 but I thought it could also have a really cool feature if Lian Li wanted to include it. Which was make the glass electronic switchable privacy glass, wear when you flick a switch the glass goes from opaque to clear. After much research I actually found a company that developed a switchable glass that goes from mirrored, to opaque, to clear which is absolutely amazing. Adding that with a relatively small statistic panel would be the perfect case for me. And with that the 011 would not only have everything I wanted but would also be the perfect size for compatibility. I can do those mods to my current case and assuming I can figure out this sizing issue with the GPU, radiator and fans then this case would actually be the perfect case. I'm super curious to see what you all think, if you made it this far I applaud you, Thank You. Photos: http://imgur.com/gallery/jD0mBVN
  15. Hi, I'm sure it has been asked before but why is it so damn hard to find white connectors for some cables? ModDiy and Performance-PCs.com I think are the only two sites that offer most of what I'm looking for. Does anyone else know of anywhere else I could buy some white connectors of the following? 4 Pin "Molex" Disk Drive Power both male and female (most are transparent) SATA Power with both straight trough, and normal caps RGB/ARGB Connectors (I want to try and make some ARGB > RGBpx for my Aquacomputer devices and hopefully skip the stupid male in between) 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 Dupont Connectors 5 + 9 Pin USB Connectors Also any name brand 4 Pin Male PWM Fan with the shroud so the terminals aren't exposed? Thank You and Please Help, It's driving me nuts that they are so damn hard to find and that the only options are from ModDiy
