nah no, DIMM.2 is just an interface for adapting M.2 to a DIMM form factor. This is AFAIK, DIMM slot SSD. Bugging the dealer for more info

So my local SSD seller posted this picture with the caption: "Ultra rare, we may stop selling M.2 form factor SSDs in the future and change to SODIMM form factor SSDs" Everything in the picture that can id this "thing" is blurred out, other than this is by Sandisk and was made in Malaysia. The module does not seem to have the characteristic curve in the middle of DDR4 DIMM. Edit: This module capacity is 400GB This is all I know, nagging the seller for more info

yes, you can with the right equipment. de-solder the old bios chip, put it into a BIOS flashing do-dad and you are good to go!

remove stock fans, put high airflow 120mm fans on full tilt on them and you will be fine

Cheapest case that support SSI EEB motherboard that I know: Sama Falcon F. 50 ish buck if you can get them Bad news is that the case only support 2 3.5" slots

8GB of ram 40-50 bucks Mobo? 75 ish CPU? Same 75 ish So 200 buck max

Dual socket, not too sure about OC support since this is more of a server/workstation board

yeah so that's why I'm getting two 980ti (same level of performance unless Nvidia do some monkey business again and games need more than 6gb of Vram for 1440P gaming) for ultra cheap in a few months. Boss lined them up for me!

In the end, AMD re-brand stuff for way longer than Nvidia so they must optimize for newer games. Most consumer mind is made up when the hardware is released so.... And the 1070? How old is that? Being a value option in high end pc hardware world will not land you market share.

NO V1 XEON! get the 2660V2 or 2690V2 and get some ECC ram for cheap. Go to Tabao.com and get mobo there for cheap! 765$ is almost a complete dual Xeon 2670 input price for our shop. Here: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.220.74684e52K0AfpN&id=533023737005&ns=1&abbucket=9#detail You need to look for stuff like that, not worth it to get X79 stuff on Ebay

R7 1700 OC is the only Ryzen sku still make sense in a price to performance standpoint. Coffeelake is good if you can get them at all. some R5 I've heard have trouble hitting high frequency, dunno why though, just anecdotal evidence. So just splurge for a R7 1700, a good AIO and OC the snot out of it like I did and you will be set. Then sell it and get the most premium Ryzen 2 (not pinnacle ridge, the true Ryzen 2 Mattise) you can afford and I think you will be set for years to come, just like those that got the 2600K to 5Ghz on day one. Ram is a bit premium for my taste (lol I use a quad channel 2133MHz CL10 Dominator platinum kit so..) go for the cheapest 2600Mhz kit you can find if you are going for 4 sticks, 3200Mhz 8GB stick if you are after the last drop of performance (ryzen scales nicely with faster ram)

No USB 3.1 10GB on that sku though, K4 is solid even after the EOL thing. Basically the PWM chip that the board uses is no longer available so instead of making a V2, Asrock just killed the board and make the V2 some other name (still 99% ish similar)- The gaming X. To be honest Bios supports have been solid for me, some times BIOS updates are faster on the K4 than some top sku like the X370 Taichi... Really happy to spend 500$ on my X370 K4 and R7 1700 and was able to OC it to 3.9 GHz on air with not much trouble (it is 50-60$ cheaper than MSRP and both of them were still sealed and under 3 years minus a week or two in term of warranty)... Aiming for 4.0 and a custom loop to truly complete my rig

Future looks bleak to be honest. AMD have yet to stomp NVIDIA for once since the 7970 (last time I remembered) for top dog. It was always too much power consumption or way too specialized for the AIB to produce card profitably. 7970 out, got stomped by the 680 7970 GHz out, stomped by the 780 (highly cut down GK110 die) 290x out, stomped by 780ti (fully enabled GK 110) Furry out, stomped by 980ti (cut down version on a Ti sku) 1080 out, AMD??? 1080ti out, RX Vega 64??? And mining does not help... RMA'ed card and flooded used market... not good for long term prospect.

M391A1G43EB1-CPBQ CT8G4WFD824A.18FB1 AD4E2133W8G15-BHYA Those are the three ECC sku on my X370 board QVL list, other than that IDK

gotta check back at the shop, sure we got some X99 Asrock stuff though

Depends on what you do with the VMs, if you need many VMs but not much power on each one of them then sure, buy to 2660V2, get 40 threads running for massive amount of VMs and call it a day. If each VM need lots of single core performance (regular desktop uses for many users) then no, forget about it. I5 3570+ a cheapo B75 board for each user on seperate machine is the way to go.

Asus Z8D6 mobo are the best dual LGA 1336 mobo to build in. ATX foot print, single 8 pin EPS connector right next to the 24 pin ATX connector and SAS support. Me like

Well Xeons V3 and 4 are out for quite a while and some select X99 mobo do support ECC ram... So I'm sure they are out there, just that they fall outside of the price to performance curve for our shop to have them in. No, I have yet to heard of them. In my shop experience non big-name branded mobo are bone stock at best and iffy/unstable/killing other components at worse. I do mean bone stock, no tinkering, things runs up to spec and pray that you don;t have to mess with the UEFI too much, just once to select the proper boot drive and forget about it. Stuck to Asus and Taiyan, Supper Micro in the shop I work at. TBH if small size and lots of cores are what you are after, a Ryzen mITX rig is much less hassle to build in.

QVL list on my X370 Gaming K4 listed some ECC modules, I don't have those on hand so... gotta trust Asrock on this one!

nah, worked at a pc shop that build dual xeon rig on C602 chipset mobo. Not worth the performance. A 2670 is 50% slower in single threaded and multi threaded bench mark compared to my 3.9GHz 1700. To say that I'm not kidding, this is a dual 2680V2 with 128GB of ram Rig that I build just for the hell of it: Actual production dual 2690V1 and GTX 780 non Ti that developed a PSU fault which is in for repairs: (Ngon means okay in Vietnamese computer repairs lingo) Four 2680V2 lined up before being put into two rigs: The good thing is ECC ram is fucking cheap, you can get 8GB DDR3L ECC stick for like 20$ a pop, good luck finding cheap mobo to put it in though. Some Chinese site offers supped up mobo that runs ECC memory for 150 ish buck a pop, with long warranty but I ain't telling you more than that. You have to discover it on your own. We don't even offer lower than 2650V1 rigs in our shop anymore, Xeon 16xx? Forget about it. The only thing those xeon got going for them is you can put two of them in a rig for massively parallel tasks like rendering photo realistic pictures of buildings and stuff like that, or massive array of virtual machines for MMO boting. This is from a guy that ran a 3960X at 4.5GHz and when the mobo died, I jumped to a Ryzen 1700 and OC the snot out of it. Unless you need shit ton of ram for cheap, your workload is massively parallel and you need to spend the least money possible on hardware (discounting electricity cost, a dual 2680V2 rig with a GTX780 going full tilt draws 680-700W from the wall and output most of that via heat. Just finished my working week, anyone have any questions at all can all lined them up and I'll try to get some real answer on real hardware for you guys.

Nah the two 980tis came from a clearance sale in July, basically sitting on the self since the day they were made til they landed in the shop. Both can get 1450Mhz easy... So both are basically new, no maintenance needed. Shy of 1080SLI... damn that is a good feeling

Open it up and clean it, like really clean it. Put it in dish soap and use a tooth brush and brush it over. Dry it out with a hair drier and then put new thermal grease on. I do it all the time on half dead or old graphic cards that need to look new for the customers. What they don't know won't hurt them lol

Having to put up with a 750ti at the moment. Ugh my old 780ti just gave up the ghost the other day and is in for repair. Hate it when you are working in a Computer shop and your personal stuff broke.

Done! Time to up in the extra work then!

Both for 400$ US ish (450-400 range) water cooled. So that is like MSRP for a 1060 6Gb for each
