Does anyone know if there is a way to force compatability mode when you have no video feed? My graphics card died and my backup needs compatability mode but I can see anything to turn it on. Any thoughts? My backup is a gtx 980 and the board is a asus x570 crosshair hero viii.

I plan to replace my 6700k system over the holiday. I also plan to consolidate a dell t30 unraid media server. My thought was to get a 3950x, install unraid. Run a win 10 vm for 12 cores and keep 4 cores for my media server which would double the server potential from the 1225v5 and triple the 6700k I'm currently running. My question is about case selections. I'm using an old thermaltake with a build in hot swap drive. I no longer need this and would prefer reasonable internal 3.5 drive options. My thought was atleast 8 bays. This should give me more than enough storage for media and enough to allocate to windows. I do plan to run a radio preferably a closed loop for the cpu and maybe something for the video card although I'll likely keep my 980gtx until 3080 or 3070 is out. I do appreciate aesthetics for the case but dont care at all about rgb. Any suggestions? Price cap would be $300.

Sorry, 1 other follow-up question. It seems as long virtually all the results from that link do not include trays or at least not enough trays to fill. Any suggestions on a reasonable place to purchase additional trays?

Thank you! That link is amazing! I do anticipate need it at some point probably 1-2 years out. Right now 1gb is fine. Any good right ups on this you could suggest? Never used sas before so I don't really understand the possible pitfalls.

I have a server that I build up on an entry level workstation i3 system. Its been running for a number of year but recently encountered some stability issues. I picked up a killer deal on on Dell's doorbusters yesterday getting a newer and most certainly better workstation for an all in about $256 shipped. My old system had jerry rigged USB external drives for storage to the tune of 1 WD Easystore 5tb and another WD Easystore 10tb. I plan to continue using them or possibly to shuck them into the new system directly and eliminate the external factor for now. Regardless, I want to start planning out something more efficient and larger scale to implement over the next year. I don't have an immense budget but I can throw a few bones and build it out over time. I'd initially looked at Poweredge 2950 but was strongly discouraged due to power consumption and lack of upgradability. A friend told me I should try to target a system with at least 12 hot swappable drives. Also that I should make sure its a system capable of going to 10gb ethernet without breaking the bank. Additionally, he suggested I try to look to systems that would be easily daisy chained down the road if 12 bays becomes restrictive. The advice came from a good friend who hobbies around but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and I'm looking for a second opinion. My intent initially was to run 4 10tb drives in raid 1/0 and then add 2 more 10tb drives at a time as I can afford it. A question about raid. Do all drives have to be identical or does there just need to be one of each type represented on each side? So I guess I'm asking the following 1. What would be a good system to start with probably used or refurbed on EBay 2. Is 10gb ethernet something good to target or will there likely be a better option in the near term 1-3 years? 3. Is it even possible to daisy chain in this type of setup?

Office seems to be doing some damage. I did a full load with logging but its 1230 and I have work in the AM so I'll see if I can decipher tomorrow.

I'll give a short review here, if you want more detail we can take it to PM or a messenger. I forget if it was LTT or another reviewer who said if you've never run 1440 your going to fall in love with this monitor. Well I havn't run 1440 and I am in love. Everything about the hardware has been a stellar experience. I also did a side by side from my old monitor to compare using a high def video and there was aspects to the video I'd never seen before because the old setup wasn't capable of showing it. 2 issues 1. twice its loaded into a fragmented view. I'm not sure of a better way to describe it. I had to manually power off and back on. This fixed the issue. I think it might be an input problem but haven't had time to figure out a cause yet. Its also not a huge pain and hasn't happened in a few days so it might be a one off as well 2. the software samsung provides to control the screen and dividend it into separate quadrants is awful. Truly, truly awful. I'm hoping to take some time over the next week to try to find an alternative even if i have to pay for it.

Ignore this, replied to the wrong msg.

Honestly, I hadn't considering storage as an issue. SC is installed to the PM961 which even 2 years later is one of the fastest drive options available I think? I downloaded MSI and setup a hotkey to turn on logging. We'll see what that reports. Thank you.

Greetings all. This is my first post as I'm sure it displays somewhere on my profile. I've been following Linus for a number of years and though I'd pop on here after watching his bottle neck video. As usual after appreciating the laughing and shenanigans it got me thinking about my current system. Some background about the system is that I am a support of Star Citizen... I've been going along with the beta for a number of years and built my current system to replace one that I bought back in 2009 I believe. It didn't like anything software wise especial SC which wasn't even close to optimized. So I gave myself a budget and built it around the budget. Current Build: CPU: 6700k Mobo: Asus Z170-DELUXE RAM: 4x4gb - Corsair 16gb Dominator (DDR4-2137) Main Drive: SAMSUNG PM961 - 1tb M2 NVME Secondary Drive: WDC 5TB Black Storage Drive: WDC 3TB Red GPU: GeForce GTX 980 Current dilemma: I was able to score a killer deal on Thanksgiving to order a CHG90 (49" Samsung monster). It replaced 10 year old 2x 24" HD monitors from Dell that were actually quite good to me over the years. However, I was tired of the bezel in the center of my view and wanted slightly more viewing space so I approximate the new monitor to scale to about 2x 27". I do not care about it not being 4k or that its not exactly TV quality HDR as the amount of improvement from 10 year old monitors was plenty. I was briefly considering the new Dell 49" 4k display but preferred the refresh rate on the CHG90. However, this created a number of issue which I'm now considering fixing. The causes are all assumptions on my part. Please correct me if I'm looking at something wrong. Since the 980 went from rendering to a 24" HD at 60mhz to rendering to a 49" 32x9 @ 144mhz it has consistently been maxed when loading SC/running SC. Furthermore where it used to load in a time short enough that I never bothered to measure it, it now loads 0min to 3min flat before there is even a functional screen within SC and then another 1 min and 20 seconds to a useable menu in SC. 1. My first question is to ask if there are any suggestion on resource logging programs I could use during a 1-2hr run in SC to look for stress points? 2. My second question is - My thoughts beyond building a new system which isn't an impossibility were to double my ram from 4x 4gb DDR4 to 4x 8gb DDR4 followed by picking up a 1070 or 1080 founders used on ebay to upgrade the 980 specifically giving it more video memory which I think may be part of my issue in game causing stuttering and lag in the video. If I were to build a new system I figured it would do it around a 8700k but what is holding me back is that I know I would like to upgrade when Intel finally drops to 10nm which from what I can tell should be around this time next year. Anyway, I'm interested in thoughts and suggestions please. Thank you for reading.
