  3. C220 is a series of server chipsets. According to HP your desktop uses the Q85 chipset which was for business grade motherboards, similar to the consumer H87 or H85 chipset- https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-prodesk-600-g1-small-form-factor-pc/5387447/document/c03846648 https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z87-H87-H81-Q87-Q85-B85---What-is-the-difference-473/
  4. LTT has gotten countless folks interested in consumer tech with easy, fun videos that explain concepts along the way. Which creators are doing something like that in the enterprise tech space? Network Chuck and ServeTheHome come to mind a bit, but wondering if there are others out there who you’d recommend to your friends and coworkers just getting started in tech roles, or even tech marketing, product management, etc to learn more in the space.
  5. Did you figure this out? I'm having the same issue.
  6. I can confirm that this model comes with the older ACX 2.0 cooler design and no backplate, still a good deal but be aware of what you are buying.
  7. Why does this cooler look different than the normal classified cooler? update: amazon lists this card (06G-P4-0998-KR) as the 980ti classified with the ACX 2.0 cooler and the "normal" 980ti w/ backplate as 06G-P4-4998-KR with the ACX 2.0+ cooler. This seems to confirm what you can see in the different picture on this newegg page. However, the EVGA website lists this 06G-P4-0998 as having the ACX 2.0+ cooler.... BUT they have the ACX 2.0 in the picture. Just a heads up to anyone looking to buy. I actually bought this 06G-P4-0998-KR last week at Newegg when it was $589, and will provide an update when it arrives tomorrow.
  8. 3000mhz is nothing to sneeze at, but personally I picked up denser RAM this week, pretty good deal too: 16GB 3200 MHz in one DIMM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232090
  9. D: my rig is begging for 64GB of DDR4 3000 MHz.... If only there was something I actually needed all of that RAM for
  10. I'm using the Dell 3440x1440 monitor with a GTX 980 and I can play pretty much everything at high settings, and some at ultra. I'd say you should either go with the 980ti or wait for Pascal if you can.
  11. not a deal unfortunately, it's through my work so don't feel bad
  12. Most of us (I assume) wouldn't dream of spending as much on an SSD as we would on a top-tier GPU. But if you could get it for $550 instead of the regular $850, would you? I have the opportunity to do so, and it's tempting to say the least, I'm just not sure if that's still overpaying... My PC is for gaming, VM's and work. I think I'd probably be most happy to have so much high speed storage for games, so I can take more of them off hard drives and to have programs start stupidly fast (I'm looking at you Outlook/Photoshop/Premiere)
  13. some manufacturers are finally starting to move to GiB and TiB for their drives, HP recently shifted all of their enterprise class drives over, so hopefully this will continue and the confusion will decrease going forward
