  1. I feel like I have done the stupidest thing ever. I was trying to do some data migration from my desktop's boot drive to a laptop so that I could then back it up. The drive I was trying to backup to is an m.2 SSD that I have laying around. The only way I could use this drive is in a m.2 to USB C carrier. The boot drive on me desktop is also m.2 so the plan was to put the desktop drive in to the carrier, move the files to my laptop then move them onto the extra drive as my desktop has no USB C ports. When I put the hooked the desktop boot drive to my laptop, it showed up in Windows, but was not initialized. So I initialized it thinking Windows just needed to recognize the drive correctly. I didn't format it, just a initialization. This appears to have messed up my partitions and boot sector as something felt up so I stopped there. Tried putting the drive back in my desktop as I would try a different method and everything was missing. In the process I have used Linux and Testdisk to take an image of the drive and it looks like all the data is still there and the 3 correct partitions are there. Haven't figured out how to write this image to anything yet or correctly rebuild the drive. At least I have an image of the drive? I don't know if anyone else has any other ideas or possible fixes that I can try?
  2. I recently got the Windows 10 Creator update and it has caused F@H to stop working. The system will open a Chrome page over and over until it fails. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling F@H twice. Any Ideas?
  3. Thought is was worth a shot. Justifies buying a networking rack a bit more if you can put more than just a switch into it.
  4. That is kind of my last resort if I can't find anything.
  5. I just moved into a new house and I am looking to have a proper network closet. Does anyone know of a rackmount modem that works with Comcast?
  6. Why not. Even just to show people something that they may not see everyday. He could use it as a ram cache for the editors on his 10g network. Would be faster for all that 8K video they got.
  7. A couple of restarts later... Everything is running perfectly. Decided to just turn off CPU as it was not finding a workload. Finally happy to have my desktop folding as well as my server.
  8. I left all settings at stock. Is there anything that I might have to change?
  9. I just decided to run F@H in my main system during the day and wanted to see if the PPD that I am getting are on pair as people with similar systems. CPU - AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0ghz: 15301 PPD GPU - Nvidia 760: 22906 PPD My GPU also only sits at 536mhz at 100% utilization. Does everything look about right? I feel like both the GPU and CPU should have a higher PPD.
  10. You could insulate the room and use a series of fans/ducts to circulate air from the windows.
  11. You still need something to act as a domain controller and house all the data that a school must hold onto themselves. There also have to be a way to store user profiles for the network and things of that nature. Something has to be onsite.
  12. I would first talk to the IT department and see what they can set up. Otherwise a NAS system would be better. I am assuming you are a student, so odds are you will not be around to fix a custom system when it goes down. With a Synology they at least have a support team that someone can call.
  13. VM box using esxi and then do f@h and whatever else you want to play with.
