  1. Are you talking about something like Azure and back up the System drive to the cloud?
  2. Hey All, I just got my AMD Threadripper and various accessories and I wanted to setup the OS drive with RAID one/ mirrored drive. How do I go about doing this on the OS drive? Cheers
  3. Ultimately went with this. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-velocity-str4-d-rgb-nickel
  4. Looks like those won't tie with the RGB theme. That is why I was wanting to go with water cooling as they will at least be able to controlled by software.
  5. I can't find those, could you possibly provide a link?
  6. I know that. But, I don't want plain green sticks of ram in a all RGB rig, that will just look awkward.
  7. Hey all, Can someone point me in the right direction for water cooling ECC RAM? Cheers
  8. Oh, I see. Thanks Funny story, I had been watching as many videos as I could to try get the best informed decision on which items I would be best to go with and in some the videos people would say this board is also good when using "Elan 2" (That is what I thought they were saying) , until a few days ago, I realized they were talking about liquid nitrogen.?
  9. OK, that is really good to know. Thanks so much for the help. So peripherals are also 12v. OK, that is really good to know. Interesting as why they have there then?
  10. Yeah, that is what I am stuck with. In my PSU where do I plug in an ATX power cable when it only has 2 x 8 pin and the 24 pin? Can I use the peripherals 6 pin connector /plug in?
  11. Really, I can do that? Reading the manual it says if any overclocking is to be done I will need the 6 pin as well. Anyway, a screen shot of the connectors.
  12. Looking at the MOBO pics it has 2 x 8 pin and a 6 pin, which would mean that I don't have enough cables??? As I can't be plugging in Pce-i cable into that connector???
  13. I was under the impression that I would need another 4+4 cable??? The Crosshair VIII MOBO also has an an extra CPU 4 pin connector on the board and in parts picker it says the power supply is compatible. But when changing the MOBO to Extreme is says it is not, so is this just a parts picker issue and I am good to go with just one 4+4 cable?
  14. Hey All, Just another issue in my attempt to get this build finished. So I destroyed my MOBO again and I decided what the heck, just go all out. And the decision is made to get a ROG Zenith II Extreme and use the new Threadripper EDIT: not 3990X. but the 3970X I already have a power supply which is the Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1250 W 80+ Titanium, but I am getting compatibility issues where the power supply does not have a 4 pin ATX connector. Do I have to get another power supply or can I use another connector with an adapter? The supplied cables in the pic. Web page for the power supply Thermaltake1250w Titanium
  15. Hey All, Will the Thermaltake Pacific W6 CPU Water Block (AMD Ryzen Threadripper TR4) work with AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3990X Processor and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3970X cpu's I know, I know, it says it does, but I just want to be sure. Cheers
  16. I am not looking for the best price but the best MOBO for this processor cpu. Cheers Dave
  17. I have had it with this current build, just too much going on and too much waste. what water block is compatible with a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X ? Cheers Dave
  18. Not nice at all. Yeah, I don't think it is fixable. I will definitely need to replace the waterblock, but I can't wait any longer so I already ordered a new MOBO and I will deal with this one. If I get it fixed, I think I will just put on EBay or something like that. Already sunk around 13K into this, so what is another $500? ? But the problem I am having with all this is how weak the plastic threads are.
  19. Unfortunately, it ripped half the thread out. I will attatch pics https://imgur.com/ca6010t Tell me about it. First destroyed a MOBO with fluid, then GPU did not work and now this. This build has taken nearly 3 months.
  20. Hey all, Still trying to get my PC finished and I decided to swap out the MOBO I just bought for a ROG-Crosshair-VIII-Formula with the all in one EK cwater block. So I get new tubes bent and in place and ran a leak test and the fittings that connect to the waterblock had a slow leak from the G1/4 fitting end (Using Thermaltake 90 degree adapter). So I drained the loop and hand tightened the fitting as it was obviously a bad seal and the plastic thread just pulled out, along some of the waterblock (a few mm's of plastic off the top) Are these threads so weak you can't tighten enough to get a proper seal? Anyone have issues with this MOBO?
  21. I am running 2 pumps. Remember the distro has a pump too. But that said, I just switched out the 500cc reservoir for another distro, so running 3 pumps now. Would be easier to buy a pre- made PC or a laptop too.?
