  1. Yep, that did the trick. Thanks. So I am assuming that b/c it was already there, that the paste in non conductive, so I really did not need to clean it?
  2. Hey, I have broken down the GPU and I have just one question, in the pic do I need to remove all that thermal paste around the heat sink? It is impossible to clean.
  3. Really good to know that. I never really have delved into the inner workings of SSD drives.
  4. Thanks, I will keep that in mind. Bigger drives are more durable. I did not know that , thanks for the advice.
  5. Is something like this recommended, https://www.highpoint-tech.com/ssd/ssd710x-overview
  6. Pretty much read/write data operations. And yes, that is the only reason I am going to run RAID is for redundancy. I have used Unraid on media server at home but, that was years ago. It is still a pretty good option then?
  7. Availability is pretty much the same as in America. Oh yeah, I did not even consider the Epyc CPUs. Thanks Still gota figure out the RAID stuff though.
  8. Budget (including currency): 7.5K to 10K US (Can be cheaper if possible) Country: Japan Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Used to run a single application with daily users of about 300-400 users on two SQL Sever instances. Each database will have the potential size of up to 500gb Other details : I was thinking that I could use 2 x 2TB nvme storage in mirror RAID (Or any suggestions on how many storage drives are needed with the single available being at least 2TB). Except I need advice on how to set up RAID and alerts if a drive fails as I have never done it before. I am not sure what is better, a single Threadripper CPU or dual Intels? With memory I was thinking of 256gb to 512gb of ECC Memory? Any help would be much appreciated. Dave
  9. I just did a preliminary check and it seems to be working just like PS4 with that software. I will check with my son if the audio works as normal. I tried with just the PS4 controller and Bluetooth connected and it was't working with Fortnite.
  10. Hwy All, My son loves playing Fortnite on PS4, however I just finished a PC gaming build and I want to make the experience the same as the PS4. I was able to get things working on Steam, but Fortnite does not use steam. The first issue is that he wants to use the PS4 controller. How do I set it up the be able to use it. BTW, I have already figured out how to link via Bluetooth. The second issue is how to enable headphones on the controller. He plays with his friends and he plugs his headphones into the controller to speak with them and get sound from the game. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Dave
  11. Thanks for the reply. I have, 9 x 140mm Fans 5 x 120mm Fans 2 x 360mm Distro plates 1 x 500cc Pump reservoir combo 3 x Thermaltake RGB Controllers with sata power PSU 1250w Cheers Dave
  12. Hey All, After finaly getting the build done, after a week or so the Thermaltake fans connected to Thermaltake RGB controllers are all flickering and some fans only have half the lights on. Anyone had something like this happen? Sorry, it is my first time with RGB. Cheers Dave
  13. Can any one point me to a case that, where cost is irrelevant. Cheers Dave
  14. Which is why I said, sometimes that is not the issue.
