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?

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?

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.

Cable

That is kind of my last resort if I can't find anything.

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?

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.

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.

I left all settings at stock. Is there anything that I might have to change?

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.

You could insulate the room and use a series of fans/ducts to circulate air from the windows.

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.

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.

CentOS or Open Media Vault

VM box using esxi and then do f@h and whatever else you want to play with.

Try deleting the raid set up so that they are two individual drives again and then perform the clean command on each drive.

I would start over from scratch and use command line diskpart to run the clean function on the drives you are trying to use. This should help: https://www.howtogeek.com/235824/how-to-clean-a-flash-drive-sd-card-or-internal-drive-to-fix-partition-and-capacity-problems/

If you are tying to put 2 & 3 together they are different drive capacities. 1 is 500gb the other is 1tb

I am talking more real world performance, because we all know clocks speeds do to show the whole picture.

That is what I have been assuming. I just wanted to have some hard numbers and evidence to prove it before I started telling people to buy the 1700 and just overclock it to the 1800x

Has anyone done a complete comparison of the current AMD Ryzen chips against each other? I was also wonder has anyone taken the lowest end Ryzen chip and overclocked it to the same speed as the highest end chip to see if the Ryzen chips are in fact all the same just at different clock speeds.

The 2x kit. It will be less stress on your cpu and allows for you to expand into 64gb if you needed it or want to turn your system into a vm host when you upgrade.

Truly awesome.

Talk with your tech department. Chances are they have a bunch of old equipment sitting around that you could probably use. I would suggest trying to set up a cluster as an activity. The cluster could then be used for simulations or even as a datastore.

I would go kit. You pay more but everything works better together. I really think the $50 or whatever you spend for the kits is worth it to save time troubleshooting. There are so many headaches that occur when doing a DIY solution. If you have all sorts of time and really want to tinker, then go the DIY solution. Otherwise, the kit is going to be much better in the long run.
