  1. Yup, works with an gtx 660, guess it’s dead
  2. Hi the past days I left my somewhat new computer (~5 months) on for more or less 24hours. It didn’t wake up after Standby, unplugged power, waited, plugged back in and started. Now the graphics card, an Asus Turbo Rtx 2070 Evo makes a weird sound, like a constant jumping arc. I don’t mean normal coil whine, it’s way louder than that. Google said it could be because of the eco mode of the psu, I have a platinum seasonic 650W which was on by accident, but turning that off doesn’t make a difference. The System probably boots just fine without that card and doesn’t make that sound then, but I’ll need to verify that after work. There is an ryzen 3600 inside and It’s 4am and I can’t be bothered to put my other card in now. suggestions/input greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  3. Wanna be safe? Pay the tax. Wanna be cheap? Proceed. Can only suggest bubble wrap, might wanna intentionally but it below other tech, like your laptop. Scanner may destroy or partially disable stuff, but it'll be very unlikely.
  4. That'll be real awesome if I can just refresh my pc once again, rather than doing new. Quick search doesn't show any promising Intel CPU's for LGA1155, but maybe I'm missing something. What I'll be concerned about then would be ddr3/4, meaning I get a new motherboard+cpu, keep the good two ddr3 sticks and get some real quality 2x8gb ddr3 possibly down the line. I think timings are more important to me, also thinking web development, ram-intensive nodejs operations. Thanks already for the feedback so far. I'll chime back when I was able to test more, tomorrow after work. Pity me was using nzxt cam ?
  5. Actually, I was expecting at least double that, especially with low settings and the game being csgo. I was at least hoping 300fps at 1080p, I like to run csgo without G-Sync, so double the fps would really help the latency thing. And, to be fair, I can literally see that the rtx just spits out the frame, not many, but still, fast. Like, it may just be 120fps, but there is no perceivable tearing at all, which I had with the gtx660
  6. I'd like to additionally mention that I'm probably not overclocking it, but I'm open for water cooling. I'll also definitely need a modular power supply. Here's a pic of the current system for your enjoyment: Yes, this on top is a cheapo chineese blow-a-lot with dodgy soldering AND being horribly wrong attached. "summer is coming" type of solution.
  7. Hello, I'm test-buying a rtx2070. I'm currently on an i7 3770 (stock intel cooler, for 8+ years!) paired with a gtx660. I don't really benchmark, but csgo has to work with my 144hz Monitor. With the rtx, I'm getting roughly 120fps steady, the gtx660 was mostly at 110ish. Low settings. I've been putting off to buy a better cooler for so long, at this point, I just get it all new and do it properly this time. But due to personal reasons, I currently can't safe up with my limited budget, getting it all at once, but I'm trying to buy a part every second month. So not fixed on a specific budget, but somewhere in the 1.4k€ area. I was one of the AMD fanboys, so I really like to give ryzen a spin. But I'll need to run Hackingtosh. The GPU is mainly gaming, osx is for home office which I do often. Now, back to my problem, which I originally wanted to post in the Graphics Cards section, but I think this fits more with my background. I know the cpu isn't the best for it, as far as I know, if I'm bottlenecked with my cpu, shouldn't it pin to 100%? Because mine still sits comfy at less than 60% utilization, while the rtx jumps around in mhz (simple scenes usually have low mhz), but steady fps. I'm using uLLeticaL's benchmark map to test this. Standing right inside the worst parts (the smokes) my cpu is also chilling at less than 30%, while the rtx ramps to 100% with appropriate mhz. Haven't done hardware in ages, so a little help/knowledge might help. I'm quite confused by this, the only possible reason why there is no real difference in fps could be the psu, 600W. But I did re-calculate my consumption before, which said less than 500W, but even the retail box said a 650W+ is preferred. So may it be that? I might have a 1000W server psu somewhere for the meantime. Now back talking money. I've also stupidly bought a third stick of ddr3 4gb some time ago, totalling 12gb now, but I don't really have problems with 12gb, despite the bad setup and normal clocking. I don't think my next setup will need more than 16gb. Talking motherboard, all I need is space for the graphics card and a PCIE1x lane for my sound card. My Gigabyte Z77-D3H was very trustworthy all my years, it's the first one I didn't F up flashing, thanks to the dual bios. Don't know what else to expect, I need virtualization, flashing might be a valid point due to hackingtoshing, but other than that, don't know. I already have an M2 drive which doesn't fit the current one. All in all, I'd like to slowly switch to my next trustworthy partner for the next, hopefully, 10+ years and I'm willing to invest this year's budget I have. Specifically talking the ASUS "Turbo" RTX 2070, Ansel: Should I keep it? Am I actually cpu bound? I mean, now it has small benefits, but the next thing is getting motherboard, cpu and ram anyways. Meaning waiting around with cool new hardware, might as well get the best out of it already. I won't cash out my existing system, it will serve as server in the future. I'm from Germany, no need for new peripherals, was running 3-monitor 1080p setup in the past, but one died. I'll be able to find a case myself, but if you can suggest something sleek and plain, go ahead, don't need nothing fancy. Occasionally watching 4K content via HDMI in my living room via the PC, also have the crappy 3D-Vision goggles from Nvidia, still getting my money worth though. I might be able to rent VR from a friend, so definetly wanna check that out with the new system, too. Thanks for reading and I'll be looking forward to your words!
  8. MySQL is a relational database system, which (put simply) means you can store (write, save) and read Data. The Data you are trying to store can be associated with other set's of data. This makes it "relational". Theoretically, it could do this. But it would need additional logic. Meaning, another piece of software, or code you wrote yourself. Take a look at this graphic which I stole from here. You see three tables. They all need to be populated and maintained by a human. There also needs to be a view (User-Interface) for that. But the key here is that there are only two Tables that contain effective Data. "Students Table" and "Activities Table", the third "Participants Table" is a union of information. Again, put simply, it's just yet another table that stores parts of Data from another table. By doing this, you can figure out that "John Smith", with it's Student-ID of 084 participates in Tennis, which would cost him 36$. In order to estimate the probability how many Students will enroll to play Tennis next year, you'll need to store each and every student's activity from the past and present into yet another Table. In that, you put the mentioned informations above. The Student's-ID, it's activity and maybe a Date when the person enrolled into that particular activity. You can then accumulate (or "query") new data over all four tables in order to answer various questions. Like: - Did my Student "John Smith" ever enrolled into an other activity? If so, when did that happen? - Is it likely that more students enroll into swimming during summer-time? - Do students prefer cheap activities? - Do enough students enroll for "Squash" in order to keep up the costs of this activity? All of this can be analyzed using MySQL. But how does MySQL know this? Because of software that implemented the possibility to maintain the activities, students and their enrollment. The software then stores these information and adds an additional entry in the fourth table to then give the School's administrator insight (trends) into the effectiveness of it's offered activites. Unless you're a real geek, it is impossible to maintain these set's of information using only MySQL, you need to have something else that can look at your Data (that is inside MySQL) and give a meaningful result from that.
  9. I haven't seen Chrome Remote Desktop mentioned yet, I've been using it for years and just a few months ago, they added the feature to access your PC from a single Website. So as long as you granted access to the targeting device, you can access it from anywhere. It cuts short of configuration features, but you'll get something that works for 99% of the time. It should also work with mixed VPNs and such, because the main authorization goes through your google account. Haven't tested though. The only problems I had was when the Ports where blocked (like in an Uni), for that, I've been using realvnc.
  10. So why do you need MySQL specifically? It's just a type of DB that you can attach to any system you'd like. It depends what you'll be running MySQL with. It is possible to run an MySQL server from somewhere else, but the Software you are trying to use must support: a) MySQL itself b) support external DB access Tough, from a security standpoint it is highly disencouraged to make any database publicly accessible. I haven't heart of Inventory Systems on a Web-basis. Or, are you trying to use Inventory management features from an ecommerce platform?
  11. @zindan How did you solve it? Did you change the Document settings?
  12. Initially, did you create your own account or was it provided by a teacher? I've had similar problems because our teacher fricked up our modules.
  13. It's a personal build. It will be used for business work, yes, but only when I'm working from Home, or the MacBook I have at work won't be fast enough for various things. We're a startup, we don't want to be working against the TOS, but this build is also used for various experimental work, e.g. Docker. We've all seen that Apple is kind of slow with getting new Hardware out. It's nice that they updated that now, but we don't know what Apple's future holds. And this is my most criticial point beside's the fact that I'm too cheap for these prices. In a business environment, we can accept this, but not for private use and tinkering around. EDIT: When we have found something that works for us, we'll be able to optimize it for the Devices our co-workers have (which all meet the TOS), but as I said, in a testing environment I want to be able to have a lot of things running smoothly next to each other without taking up a lot of my time.
  14. Hello, I've finally came here and get active. I'm mainly a programmer and doing Frontend, so macOS is the best fit for my work. Don't try to get me into Linux, I'll use it for servers, it's not working as development OS for me. I especially can't take a whole week off in case something breaks for stupid reasons. I've been a long time AMD fan, but had to resort to Intel due to gaming and osx's hardware compatabillity in the past. That being said, I'm not that into Hardware anymore. That's why I could need some suggestions on my plans. I'm looking for a in-between of a budget build and something I'll be happy for many years. I'm planning to buy over time, so bidding (or alike) is an option for me, this is also why I wouldn't give a fixed budget limit. I'm from Germany. Additionally, I've been watching both Linus's videos on Hackingtosh's. Virtualization seems to be a very nice option as I can simply switch from osx to windows to play some csgo. But: I can't say if the couple cores for the host would bother me. I'm working a lot with node/js and really could need the cores and ram for efficient development. I also needs spare ressources for: - every common Browser open (+ vscode, gitkraken) - Mac's "Simulator" - Android Studio's VM's for testing purposes. Most day's I'm comitted on either mac or windows, but I have days where I need to switch quickly around. I'm not sure if virtualization would give me the productivity boost, especially if both OSes are installed on something reasonably fast. I'm currently okay with grabbing another cup of coffee when rebooting from OSX to Windows (and the other way around). I've got some Requirements due to my work: - at least osx needs to run from an nvme (first investment, I've gotten myself a 970 EVO from Samsung) - I'll need to plug in at least two of my SSD's for short-term storage (Projects/Most played games) - I've got four normal HDD's (2x 1.5TB, 2x 500GB) that'll be long-term storage (Mostly large designs/raw assets files) - My 96KHz soundcard should continue to function - Besides Gaming, it'll be nice if I _could_ do some hefty 3D work on OSX I'd be really happy if after all that, I still have some SATA connections left, for things like a BlueRay Drive (I still watch Videos off of my disks from time to time) I don't care about LED's on my PC, I'll be more than happy if it's just a plain black or white Box. But I'd like to try water cooling it, never done that. It might also be good to mention that my PC is everything I have, I'm heavily using the SteamLink to use my PC on my 4k TV. I also have an switch to toggle from my 3 screens to a 4k output. This is then split up, one is for the TV, another just duplicates the contents on my primary 1080p screen (in case I need to configure things, the TV is in another room). My main concern is actually trying to use a threadripper, but a fully working hackingtosh is a must-have for me. I won't buy an official Apple computer personally, so I'm willing to take a more difficult route, but I need something verified before hand. I've already wasted couple of bucks on hardware that wasn't compatible with OSX already. The PC I'll be writing this post on is planned to be used as Server, for personal and company backups. Thanks for reading so far. I'll be happy to hear your suggestions. The best would be if Anthony is either doing a comprehensive Tutorial, or can provide some nice reads on how I'll be able to achieve OSX's installation.
