Hi, considering recent info about Google Photos service loosing the unlimited storage for new photos (even in "high" quality instead of previously only "original" files) makes this a hot topic for 2021, the change is supposed to happen on 1st June 2021, and so it will affect lot's of users afterwards. This would be a great starting point for a video or a series of videos that would: - provide an honest comparison of the paid subscriptions and functionalities of the Google One Drive and it's competitors taking into account how easy it is to integrate with Android/Iphone, and a PC/Mac compared to the Google service (would be certainly interesting considering if drop box could be a replacement, or like a WD Cloud Home Nas, or a Qnap, or Synology, or FreeNAS), and also if it has any other benefits (like MS has a family subscription to One Drive + Office 365 for like 5 users i think), - going all in, what would be a good way to completely go off the "grid", loose google/apple/microsoft services as much as possible, suggest what decent Android Phones can be reasonably easily rooted, deoxed and degoogled, and than configured to work with some DIY Home server services), and basically either building a DIY Home Server/NAS or buying one from Qnap/Asus/Synology - whoever has good enough functionality, and getting your private cloud with good file access, good photo sync from phone, perhaps your own email server with calendar and so on, your own vpn and so on (also explaining to people external ip address, dynamic dns services and so on). - Also suggesting small vm's approach for services would be a potentially interesting subject to add to above (as a practical use of this vm concept that you already covered in a video a couple of months ago). I think that this idea could be a backbone for a nice series of videos that could get a lot of traction, and would provide lots of quality informational content that would mostly not get outdated too quickly. You did create videos covering some bits of the subjects mentioned above, so I'm certain that you have people with enough experience to pull this off, and having basically over 6 months to produce those should me more than enough.

Hi, I have probably one of he best Chinese X79 motherboards currently offered (decent vrm with cooling, actual x79 chipset (cheap ones have random chipsets like B45 and similar), good i/o, and lot's of options in the bios. Unfortunately bios has zero voltage controls, so you can only OC the cpu as much as it will go on stock voltage (for 3930k i'm running that's about 4.2GHz), and also the ram. That does give decent performance gains compared to stock clocks, but is still good 7-10% slower than it could be on a good motherboard with full voltage controls in bios. There are other aspects though... the original "good" x79 motherboards are usually at least 7 years old, this means that they are very likely to malfunction because of old capacitors and such (even though they often in theory promised superior reliability). Additionally the are still quite expensive on the used market. Next point is that many of those Chinese motherboards support nvm-e storage booting, and if you'd get that to work, plus a good price on an 8 core ivy bridge chip with lot's of L3, than the voltage limitation won't hurt you that much, and the setup as a whole would be actually as capable as a decent brand new computer that would cost significantly more. Basically the thing is that you must calculate against a new Ryzen 3600. I went with the Chinese x79 for ~80$ with i7-3930k for ~65$ as I had some decent ddr3 sticks at hand, and that limited the platform cost compared to brand new Ryzen by a lot and gave me a very decently performing computer that still has some upgrade potential.

Hi, I've verified that this is exactly the same motherboard version and revision as mine. I've changed the jumpers marked in below pictures, i think they control whether specific usb ports are powered on or not in sleep states. Also there was a clear cmos jumper that I've disconnected just to check, but it all still did not make a difference.

To specify, the motherboard is Huananzhi X79 Deluxe, and looks like this:

Hi, I have a very puzzling issue with my PC. I've recently upgraded it to Socket 2011 using a Chinese X79 motherboard (a similar model actually to what Linus was using in some video), and an i7-3930k. I have a Seasonic Platinum 460W PSU, 1050Ti, 4x8GB kingston DDR3 2400mhz CL11 memory, and an AIO with 280mm radiator cooling the cpu. The case is well ventilated with multiple 14cm fans. So in the upgrade only the motherboard and the cpu were changed (previously I was using an FX-8320), so it's safe to assume that all other components are fine. After the upgrade: - When i cold boot the computer it runs just fine (meaning that the psu is disconnected/switched off for at least 10 seconds when the computer is turned-off). - When i do a warm boot though the computer runs fine for 5-10 minutes, than does a hard reset (no logs or bsod in windows 10), and after rebooting it runs just fine. I've tried disabling EIST/Speedstep (no difference), tried disabling specific C-States (no difference), tried forcing PCI-E version 2.0 (instead of 3.0), tried uplugging/plugin all power connectors from psu/motherboard (no difference), tried 2 sticks of ram, 4 sticks (no difference), checked if cpu oc matters or not (stock clocks have the same problem), checked if ram clock matters or not (jedec 1600MHz setting the same problem), checked if fast boot matters or not (no difference), checked if a fresh Windows install would help (it didn't). I'm out of ideas, and it seems very strange as once the computer does a cold start, or it does the mentioned reset it can have the cpu and memory oc'ed and fully loaded for multiple hours non-stop, and the setup is rock stable. It's most certainly the motherboard's fault but with the above description it might be difficult to get it RMA'd as it's technically working just fine, and also any kind of RMA to China would take 1-2 months at least. There are some unusual jumpers on the motherboard, although there was no service manual with it, even though it's brand BOX version. Also two motherboard standoffs were replaced with plastic spacers as i didn't have correct holes under to screw in the brass standoffs, so basically there is no risk for any shorts on the back of the motherboard, although not all screw-holes in the motherboard are grounded (normally this shouldn't be an issue, but might it be possible that grounding in a Chinese motherboard could depend on grounding the screw-holes? That would be interesting).
