Long shot. but i just thought of a genius idea. and it would probably have a really good clickable title/video too. Linus has done a video before on those "china laptop cpu in a desktop" before. but it seems to have evolved massively. you can now buy a mobile 8/9/10th gen mobile coffeelake cpu's that work on Z370 motherboard. you can also buy a RTX 3080 mobile on a PCIE card formfactor. my idea was. Mobile I9 in a desktop board + a mobile RTX 3080 gpu. in theory it should be way faster than in a laptop formfactor due to cooling alone. but you can do a IMON slope hack on the bios and make the cpu run at indefinite turbo and gain even more overall performance (besides some of these cpu's being unlocked chips. like the I9 9900HK)

how is the overclocking on the higher end xeon's if you get to trying it out? you could use CPUFSB or SETFSB to mess around with overclocking if bios does not allow. i want to dip in 775 overclocking. and not sure if just getting a crap load of X5450's is a better idea rather than a highest end xeon's..? X5450's are the best for overclocking i think? along with E5450 if you need lower TDP?

hello good day. for the last 3 days i've been trying to find and run a nas os for my repurposed thin client. the entire goal of the nas is to attach a single 4tb hdd to the network and allow me to make some backups aswel as transfer files between my windows pc to mac laptop at faster speeds than usb 2. i've tried freenas and truenas (which are the same basically) it installs fine. but after install the os is not seen as a bootable option? or sometimes it does. but just immediately goes to a black screen with no progress then i tried OMW openmediavault. it installs. and it boots ok. but when i type in the device's ip in a web browser. it does not pull up the GUI. it does have a valid ip listed. so it seems to have proper connection to my network. i wanted to try xigmanas but i've not found a way to make a usb drive with it as rufus says it's not bootable? the hardware in question is a fujitsu futro s520 with the following specs AMD G series: GX-210HA @ 1.0GHz 4gb ddr3 ram a 16 gigabyte internal nand ssd and using a mpcie to pcie adapter with a sata card to connect the 4tb hard drive. i've installed windows 10 and the drive shows up correctly. aswel as the ethernet. i also tried the most recent version of ubuntu and it installed correct and showed the drive aswel. but i am not deeply experienced with linux so i kinda prefer a operating system with a gui (like freenas) to setup and run my share on my network. what are you guy's recommendations to what to do? again the nas wont be doing complex raids ect. so these specs should in theory be fine enough for a simple system..?

hello good day. i want to make some custom cases/cooling solutions for some diy projects. but for best practice i'd need some software where i can roughly calculate airflow so i can see at which point the hole size has diminishing results and stuff like that what kinda software would be recommended to mess around with? thank you in advance

sadly they dont sell those in the netherlands anymore. only the quadstellar wich is priced at 500 bucks here O-O might stil go for that limited edition level 10 case and mod it a bit by replacing the plastic panels by diy acrylic and add alot of rgb controlled stuff between the hidden spaces

so first of i wil try to be in most detail i can to what kinda stuff i'm looking for but since the case market is so huge finding a case that really suits your intrests isnt a easy task first off the specs that wil house the rig a msi m270 motherboard with a 7700k and a noctua nh-d15 cooler a gtx 1070 (soon wil get that) and atleast 3 normal hard drives (wil soon upgrade to a m.2 raid array but the hard drives wil be storage still) i found a case that i like wich is the nzxt h710i wich has rgb and all that stuff build in (mind you i never actually owned any rgb stuff so i kinda wanna go all out on rgb if i'm getting a rgb case) but i just saw another case the thermaltake level 10 limited edition wich i really love (i can get that case for cheap with trading my old gpu for it) so i've started looking around the cases once more and cant really find any cases that really spark that *show piece* astetic, i saw the thermal take cube 9 but even though that case really looks good. its more a show piece for water cooling and not air cooled rigs so that space wil be wasted i dont really know all those creative case names so i'm sure theres quite a few more cases wich wil be unique compared to most rigs that falls into my intrest i do have pcie extension cables here so if theres a case using a seperated gpu area that can be done too. my budget for this case would be around 200 euros max but depending on how much the case appeals to me going a lil over that budget is not that big of a issue for the record i got a fractal design r6 right now and the looks of the case has really gotten old on me after about 1-2 years did also look for the dune pro (the mac pro rip off) and even tho i love how it looks in general the small things like only usb c or no side window put me off on it as i really wanna come over with that unique show piece hardware that functions (so no cases where its just for looks with barely any airflow) thank you in advance for your crazy submissions!

damn my corsair 650 instantly shuts off when both card reach 100% but then again i am running a 7700k at 5 ghz we run on 240v since my psu had 2x 2x8pin wires comming from the unit i decided to plug in only 1 of each strand of wires and it seemed to hold on now

so at fathers house now and it doesnt trip my breakers. instead when i run furmark the pc shuts off after 1 sec of full 100% load so i geuss this house from 1985 cant handle all the goodness huh..

so i got my hands on a gtx 780 founders edition for free planning on tossing new paste on there cleaning it up and reselling it after i've had my fun with it as usual i've looked around a bit and somehow noticed (atleast on ebay) that the founders editions seems to sell for a lil higher compared to normal models (excluding the extreme clocked editions and such) why is this? are the founders editions binned better?

not sure. the house where it happens has them where you can flip them back on. i wil test this at my father location wich uses very old tech breakers (1980s or something)

the gpu i got has a tdp of 500 watts alone

well i would but i basically move this pc from 1 house to another every weekend because i need a 2nd rig that plays my games tbh

is there a possible fix?

so i used a 650 watt psu for some time till i got a gpu that made it go boom. i got myself a old antec psu 900 watts but when i turn the psu on the breaker trips. the pc doesnt automaticly turn on when you turn the psu on so there cant be a massive power surge. i thought it was my motherboard but a x58 motherboard does the same. i'm quite good at soldering so if fixing this requires a mod . i'd be fine with it. if i flip the breaker back on it trips once more but if i hold it in position it'll work fine. i thought maybe too much computers on 1 circuit (i do run quite a few servers) but i connected the pc to my kitchen breaker wich has alot more capacity and alot less devices connected and it still happens. incase it helps i got a i7 7700k at 5ghz (5.3 soon once i got a delid tool) a r9 295x2 gpu wich slurps quite the power. i also got another 800 watt unit here but the weight of it doesnt make me confident enough to risk 600 bucks worth of hardware thank you in advance for info about this

so today i delidded my x5675 and atm stil working on making that die shine. luckily it somehow stil posts but i'm looking for tips toward mounting my AIO directly to it. my first thought was to put 4 soft pads that can be squished and place them in the corners of the cpu slightly higher than the die so the cooler applies pressure on 5 points on the chip (kinda like the old amd's did back in the day but kinda intrested in seeing what other users have used beside using those custom made brackets also what kinda cleaning solution wil scrub off the last little bit of tin ontop of the die? i was thinking about nail polish remover (acetone based without added water ect) so far for the middle i've used a very small flat head screw driver and for the rest i used a guitar pick for the ones intrested i've used the vice method. since i was very skeptical about the die being soldered to the ihs so i tried my other chip wich was fried first and it just popped off with ease. the real deal was stuck on a bit harder to pop loose but in the end it worked perfectly (yes as you can see the pcb of the broken chip is damaged but that is not caused by the vice.
