bent? not at all. The vrm are higher than the vram modules thats why it looks higher, you could use a thinner thermal pad

Hey, I just finished my arctic accelero upgrade to my EVGA RTX 2080 XC. Here is my post https://imgur.com/a/BVb6Rh1

So far I have a TP-LINK SG2008 switch and an Ubiquiti Unifi AC access point and planning on getting an Ubiquiti Edgerouter X, that should do the work, although I'm not sure if the Edgerouter is really necessary. Regarding access control and security, is my example a correct usage of VLANs?

I'm really new into this network stuff and wanted to know any benefit on separating home devices into different VLAN. I have an 8 port switch and an AP attached into it. Switch will handle - 1,2 AP - 1 NAS/Multimedia server (through link aggregation) - 1 Smart TV - 1 Console - 1 Desktop PC AP will handle - 2 notebooks - 2 smartphones - guests devices Guests network will be separate SSID, so my question is, is it worth it having separate VLANs? and what would be the benefits of it. For example: VLAN1: Modem-TV-NAS (Multimedia server just for the TV) VLAN2: Notebooks-NAS-Desktop PC VLAN3: Modem-Console Long explanation: I want the TV to connect to both internet and the NAS Console to connect just to internet Mobile devices to connect between each other and to the NAS Notebooks to connect to the Desktop PC Desktop PC to connect to the NAS Thanks

not really, i mean I have the Accelero sitting on my desk and I ended up upgrading to a evga rtx 2080 XC, but i’m waiting 2 more weeks to be sure the gpu is ok (I got it almost 1 week ago)

Im making my yearly shopping list and for the next few months I want to improve my home network hardware. So far I've been looking for an AP and a Switch, I'll keep the ISP router for now (wifi disabled). I'm looking for a 3x3 MU-MIMO AP (yes, I have compatible devices) and a 8 port gigabit switch with LAG (managed). So far I've found this options, but since I'm just starting into this network stuff, I'm not quite sure which brand to prefer. AP: After noting the Unifi AC lite/pro doesn't support MU-MIMO, I found this option which seems great for my needs ZyXel NWA1123-AC HD, but I'm not sure how this brand is, although I've read of them a few times. Switch: I had in mind this at first Tp Link T1500G-8T, but then I found this ZyXel GS1900-8 to match the AP, but also this Netgear GS108Ev3 appeared in the search. I'm not interested in PoE so far. I will be using 6 ports of the switch for wired devices and for the AP I'll be using just 1 for a "small" apartment (80-90m2).

Considering I have several hardware supporting 1300Mbps over wifi, does it worth getting the AC Pro?

Wow your answers are much better than what I was expecting. Anyways, as for using ethernet and wireless, I forgot to mention its an ITX board, so no chances on getting an extra ethernet port into it. Any recommendations on how to get as fast as possible wireless transfer speeds? I don’t have really high hopes on this to be honest. I’m using 802.11ac hardware.

So indeed wired connections are full duplex. Is it possible to connect a switch to a router using LACP? To avoid that bandwidth limitation between the wired components and the wiresless devices. And also, assuming downstream traffic to the desktop pc from the NAS and Internet downloads on the same pc, this means it will actually saturate ethernet traffic and limit download speed. I was recently reading about connecting to ethernet AND wireless simultaneously, this could solve this bandwidth limitation problem if it actually works this way, but i’m not sure it does

I’m planning a NAS on my network to stream video and share files between clients (currently 2 laptops, 1 desktoppc, 1 tv and 3-4 mobile clients) using a LACP switch and the ISP router. The main objective is, given any transfer between clients and ongoing internet connections, to be no bandwidth limitations (without upgrading to 10Gbps). So the setup is as follows: Router connected to Switch for internet and wireless access to the LAN NAS using 2x1Gbps to Switch Desktop connected to Switch TV connected to Switch 2 Laptops and mobile clients connected to Router for internet and LAN access (just for the laptops) NAS is accesible from every device (that’s why the 2x1Gbps), desktop pc is accessible from both laptops only, laptops don’t interact between each other. What should I do to prevent LAN and Internet slow downs over this setup? (2 human clients) And also, if transferring over LAN between any 2 clients, for example desktop pc and NAS, assuming a transfer rate at 1Gbps, will this slow down internet access on my desktop pc? maybe due a bandwidth limit over ethernet, will using ethernet and wifi bridge solve this issue?

this is out of the scope of the questions here. The problem is plugging the drives on my system

Before I figure out how to fit that into my setup, which I think I can, is a raid controller really necessary? can I try to look for a simple pci to mini sas adapter? I’ve seen that most raid cards offers 6Gbps bandwidth, that’s not much an improvement against usb 3.0 isn’t it? wouldn’t that be a problem? shouldn’t I use 1 mini sas per 2 drives in that case?

yeah the thing about using a card is that I don’t have card slots. I’m using an itx board

I was starting my research on a NAS project and realized that I can use unraid to use my gaming rig (the one at my signature) as a gaming and NAS at the same time without noticeable performance losses according to Linus. The problem is i’m using an ncase m1 which can barely fit all those components and nothing else, so I did some research and ended up looking at usb closures, which has the obvious usb 3.0 bandwidth limitations. BTW I’m planning on using 2 hdd as data storage, 1 hdd for parity and 1 ssd as cache on my NAS setup. So I ended up reading about this mini SAS connectors (SFF 8643) which run between 6Gb/s to 12Gb/s and I was wondering if I can make a DIY enclosure that uses this connectors and connect the 4 drives to the m.2 slot on my motherboard using some adapters. I’m just starting my research on this so i’m not sure if i’m overthinking this or if it’s a good approach. What would you guys suggest

just get a Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT and you’re done

yeah I was reading that Sony TVs are really good for pc gaming and here we have the X905F, I guess it would be similar. What about input lag? I can see it’s really low

now the hard part would be finding a >45” 1440p/4k monitor in my country

you know what? I’ve been using that boxes for about my whole life and I just realized you just need to plug an HDMI cable to the screen and no need of a coaxial cable. Is there any real trade off of using a pc monitor as tv screen? rather than cost

Yeah I know, it’s really a pain to find a good TV screen for both gaming and watching normal tv. I love the idea of using a monitor as TV screen, but sometimes you just want to watch tv. I know you can use a tv turner, but who turns on a pc to watch tv?

So I have my PC and a shity TV screen (maybe from 2015) that barely supports 1080p. This is the problem, I live in an small apartment so I can’t affort having a desk with a pc monitor. Solution? TV screen for both gaming a netflix. I’ve been looking for a decent TV screen for 1440p gaming, yeah I know, an RTX 2080 can handle 4k easily, bit still, 1440p is my ideal. I haven’t found to many options over there for 1440p, specially not >60hz supporting chroma 4:4:4. The best I found was some Samsung TV supporting 1440p@60hz or 1440p@100hz (or was it 120hz?) without chroma 4:4:4, is that a bad trade off? I’m really not into TVs so a little help is always appreciated.

SFX and cheap don’t go together

go for sfx, maybe a corsair sf450

did you run prime95?

well yeah, I think I answered myself including those external links and what you say it’s totally true. Last thing I saw on my research was a user using a 120x25mm fan on the front, but I think those are things I’ll have to try once the case arrive. I’ll make a build log for this and test by myself but the I doubt it will change temps by much

just when he say he will be using a pull configuration at 8:55 and then at 9:20 saying the performance surpassed his expectations. You have the same evidence here and here. user Nord1ng using ducts in gpu to run fans as exhaust for better temps (you don’t need ducts with the accelero because it fills the gap by it’s own)
