  1. So just that we're clear here, you're saying you'd only ever expect XMP / EXPO to work as advertised if you bought it as a kit? And not even the same SKU kit purchased a few months later, you wouldn't expect to be compatible? That's funny. I mean, I get what you're trying to say RAM can be finicky at times. Sometimes for example even if you buy it as a kit doesn't mean you can get advertised speed since in the end anything XMP, EXPO, etc is still overclocking.
  2. You should probably DM this guy then, cause they seem to think your only option is to get kits. Which was my point in my first post:
  3. The real question is... is the data still valid on the 3.5 diskettes? Even when they were in their prime, floppy disks were notorious for corruption.
  4. People go out and do this all the time. You're telling me if you had a 2x16gb kit of Corsair LPX 3200mhz RAM and you wanted to upgrade to 64gb, that the only way would be to buy a 64gb kit with 4x16gb? Give you head a shake. You'd just go out and by another 2x16gb kit of Corsair LPX 3200mhz RAM....
  5. Just to be clear here... Yes, you can mismatch RAM. But no, you can't expect them to run at the same speed / timings.
  6. I'll remember this the next time I'm ordering something from EK Waterblocks in Slovenia... Gee they must really hate their customers here in North America... why don't they just stop doing what they are doing currently and open a NA location? I'm getting sick of being charged extra for all the shipping and duties. Me me me me... wahhh
  7. Do you have a dark room or a way to control the light? If so, I'd recommend OLED. If you usually have a brighter room, you might want to check out QDLED, I believe it can get a lot brighter. IIRC. If you want more explanation: Reviews and Ratings - RTINGS.com Also, HDTVTest channel on YouTube has some helpful information. Happy hunting.
  8. Whew lad, Went from Hentzer blocking Plex to how Open Source isn't as resilient as we think to death of physical media (which is a spot on assessment btw) to McDonald's Coffee lawsuit... what a wild ride.
  9. That's when you host a Rockband session!!! Every Friday night in the late 00s until early morning, me and my work friends would rock out with our cock out..... ROXXXXANNNNNE YOU DON"T HAVE TO PUT ON THAT RED LIGHT!!! burp.
  10. Oh well since you failed to properly list your specs, I had to guess.
  11. Make sure your Linux kernal is up to date. Oh, and make sure you install the latest Intel Graphics drivers for your ARC gpu.
  12. Can relate. Hopefully you don't need to go that route.
  13. Unless you mean you can only find 1000Ft worth of outdoor rated cable. In which case, I'd say you're not looking hard enough. For example: GearIT Cat6 Outdoor Ethernet Cable (150ft) 23AWG Pure Copper, FTP, LLDPE, Waterproof, Direct Burial, In-Ground, UV Resistant, POE, Network, LAN, Internet, Cat 6, Cat6 Cable - 150 Feet : Amazon.ca: Electronics
  14. At least with the 7XL you can actually remove it to expose the 5.25" bays and the fan filters. I can remember if the same goes for the smaller ones: Disregard the glass panel, was just the first google image I found showing the front of the case with the door open.
