  1. Yes, The motherboard has been flashed to latest version I have also flashed the video card.
  2. Hard crash in Windows 10, upgraded to windows 11 to see if still happened, and yes. Non over clock, have ramped fans to 100% fresh install of Windows 11. Video wont respond - shows still image, USB still works (i hear a ding sound in the background of overwatch, and pres enter, but still frozen mid death on screen) Spec: Core i9 9900k GTX 1070 - latest divers Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) Windows 11, all service packs NOTHING in event viewer Crashing can also happen at boot, so will be stuck in the 'press del to enter BIOS' screen
  3. It could be sooner - just depends on when my Tax Refund lands (takes 10 days, and will be submitting in Mid July) - helps if I can budget, or understand what might be coming out in the near future. I will be giving my Son the old parts to play Overwatch 2 on, his potato has a terrible pixel pusher.
  4. Budget (including currency): $AUD3000 Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Game Development - major need for many cores, and AVX 512 support, also want a 3070 (or similar) Gfx Card. Other details Currently have a Node 202 case (and will be keeping it) - its currently got an air cooled Core i9 9900k (and i hear the core i9-10900k has better thermals?). Keeping 2x SATA SSD, and NVME Storage, have reasonable DDR4 RAM (32GB) Keeping KBM, and current monitor Keeping Headphones Will need a new modular power supply - will also need a longer 6/8 Pin cord for the gfx card So basically i'm looking for a thread ripper or a Intel with as many cores as possible, and AVX 512 support, as well as a current gen NVIDIA xx70 Gfx Card (for example the 3070) to all fit in a SFF case.
  5. Would love to see some more ifixit stuff, steve @ gamers nexus has me wanting to get a new set of screw drivers after watching this video:
  6. Well they sell for $650 new I think the seller has no idea of its true value, hence the consecutive numbers in the price.
  7. I brought this as a replacement to my 110J - now need to get a Hard Disk that is supported
  8. Yes, you just need to have the correct version of flash player installed. If you don't have flash flayer then not officially.
  9. The windows GUI is a slow ass way to move data between drives, and it will also move the file to memory before it copy's, so if your short on RAM your going to get the pagefile into your overhead. free / built in tools: xcopy https://ss64.com/nt/xcopy.html roboxopy https://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html I forgot what one is not in Windows 10 Command line tools above move the data bit by bit, so no need to worry about memory limits
  10. ELI5: Random Access Memory is a volatile memory - it has no ability to store data The memory on a SSD is non-volatile, it holds the data in a statically charged status - when the drive starts to ware out its because the cell is either week & cannot hold a new charge (think of it like the battery on dads old iPhone), or the cell can not discharge the existing charge
  11. If this is your first build look at what you can get from your front IO I would recommend to get something with a USB-C plug, and at least USB 2.0 with audio I/O (sometimes headphone cables don't reach from behind) This will give you future proof as your cases will outlast your new build, and be something you continue to use over time. I know, and love my mATX Cases and have spent AUD $70 on a Node 202 (with shipping from USA) - but if you want something that's not going to be tight, and accommodate anything you can get for a good price from the local e/relater then a proper ATX Case would be a good investment.
  12. Yeah, No! This is not good. I would start looking at opening up the maintenance contract to a local vendor. Also, don't just accept what ever they offer. Why do they recommend this to you? What is the SLA? Who manages the SLA? How long is the maintenance contract? Will you be breaking the warranty if you open / repair with a local agent? What other vendor could offer a better price? Toshiba Dell HP Do you need a local service, or could you move to the cloud?
  13. Not bad, they took over RAD Game Tools a few years ago.
  14. You would need to licence the game engine, these go for around 250k>1.1 Million depending on what your doing. However seeing your breaking copyright law (making a derivative of a published work) I am unsure if you would be able to get a licence.
  15. I love hosting my own website, and being able to manage it on my own through a vultr console. I need to run it a windows box, and as such am using IIS 10, I miss the recent visitors plugin that came as standard with CPanel. Is there a plugin I can use that will shows me recent visitors, and the referring URL on IIS10? Or is there a way to make the log files show the referring URL, and a nice wrapper GUI to read them? (Currently using Excel)
