    Timothy11 reacted to ninbura in Logitech G903 Wireless Charging   
    I have the G903 and Powerplay, I keep a standard Qi wireless charging pad on my desk for my phone, the thought crossed my mind so I threw my G903 on it. Nothing, still curious I tried another pad I had on hand, still nothing. Pretty sure only the Powerplay will wirelessly charge the G903, has much lower power delivery than a standard wireless charger.

    PS I would highly recommend the Powerplay, expensive but liberating.

    @Koxicain Thank you for posting I was looking for approximate price for this board and this was the first useful bit of information that I found.

    Timothy11 got a reaction from KhakiHat in Suggestion on covering big house with Wifi   
    Looks like you are A bit stuck. I would normally suggest a Wi-Fi mesh with each access point connected back to the router with Ethernet (like the unifi access points)
    Do you have a crawl space on the roof? If so you could get a data line  between the roof and the router (ether Ethernet or Ethernet over power) then daisy chain a few access points together with Ethernet just running across the crawl space. You could do the same under the house if you did not get enough signal in the ground floor assuming that you had a crawl space there as well.
     
    The only problem with this is that the access points in the roof can get very hot in summer.

    Ok, I will try connecting the second GPU into a second PSU this afternoon when I get home from work, should have a spare 600W or higher PSU around somewhere which will be plenty for just a GPU. (I have done this kind of thing before so I know what to watch out for to avoid blowing things up)
     
    Will let you know how  it goes. (Also have a support ticket with Sapphire)

    Not in the land of the kiwis. A 7700K costs ~$500, and a 1080 Ti costs ~$1100

    Timothy11 got a reaction from bcguru9384 in Ryzen 1700 temp problems( Non OC) Stock cooler   
    70C under benchmark load with a stock cooler is to be expected. Saw a review with one with a good air cooler and it was at 60C.
     
    People pushing overclocks on stock coolers are probably running in the high 80s.

    The data you posted shows that your ISP modem/router is creating the following sub net
    IPv4 addresses - 192.168.2.x (192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.255)
    All of the servers (DNS, DHCP) and the Gateway router are in the same device (The modem/router the ISP gave you) and this device has an IPv4 address of 192.168.2.1
     
    Because of this we are going to configure the following sub net for the new modem/router.
    IPv4 addresses - 192.168.1.x (192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255)
    All of the servers (DNS, DHCP) and the Gateway router are in the same device (The new modem/router) and this device has an "WAN" IPv4 address of 192.168.2.254 on sub net A and an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.1 on sub net B (The sub net all of your computer will be on).
     
    Reset your new router to factory defaults (should be a button for that). Set up the new router as outlined on page 12 of the manual (1.6.1 wired connection) make sure you connect from a standard port on the ISP router to the WAN port of your new router. Connect your computer directly to the new router with an Ethernet cable (or connect to the default Wifi network if the details are written somewhere). Navigate to the web GUI for your new router http://router.asus.com (2.1 Logging into the Web GUI). This should start the QIS wizard for connecting to the internet. This should detect that the sub net above it is trying to give it an IPv4 address (for Automatic IP (DHCP) you should be able to just click next. Then it will get you to configure your Wifi network, you can use anything that you want but give it a different name (SSID) to the Wifi network from your ISP router. If everything works perfectly the new router should be up and running make sure you change all of your devices across to the new Wifi or plug them into your new router. Any device that you leave connected to the ISP router will not be able to see the other devices as they will be on a different sub net. Things to note...
    When connected to your new router you will probably not be able to manage the ISP router, you will have to connect to the ISP router Wifi of plug directly into it to change setting. If you set up any server in your home that you want access from the internet (Plex, VPN, Game servers) you will have to change your new router WAN connection Type from Automatic IP to static IP. This will let you set up the port forward from your ISP router to your new router and the you can set up a port forward from your new router to the server. (I would set a static IP of 192.168.2.254 anyway just to ensure stability - if you want advice on what to set the option to when changing this please post a screen shot showing the settings that it is asking for) To ensure stability you should remove 192.168.2.254 from the ISP modem DHCP range if you do item 2. This will ensure that no other device is given the IPv4 address that your new router is using (this should not be a problem anyway as you would have to have 250 devices connected to the ISP router before it would give a new device this address). You should try navigating to http://192.168.2.1 when connected to your new router as this could let you connect to your ISP router manager when connected to your new router (this might work depending on how your new router handles routeing and if your ISP router accepts connections from outside of its sub net). We can try and get this to work later if it is important to you an maybe even add a DNS record for it to your new router so that you can navigate to it using a name instead of an IP address. This should be enough information to get you going. If you have any issues post here or email me Timothypage.TP@gmail.com as i might not see your post. (will be away the next two days).

    Timothy11 reacted to jj9987 in Where should i put my harddrives   
    1) You can mount the radiator to the top of the case and put the hard drive cages back.
    2) There are 2 hard drive slots in the basement, use them.

    If you can't use the ones in the bottom under the shroud then switch the CPU cooler to the top as an exhaust and the two fans as intakes.

    Timothy11 reacted to VVoltor in VPN question   
    No, you're still using you're ISPs connection, wherever you are. 
    So if you get 25mbit/s somewhere, you can connect through the fastest VPN in the world but you're still limited to 25mbit/s

    Timothy11 reacted to themctipers in LAN party power strips....   
    Something to keep in mind:
    in North America, or any place that uses 120v try to plug in only 3 or 4 computers. Wouldn't recommend any more as 120v/15a only provides 1800w, and 1800w over 4 computers is 450w/computer

    Timothy11 got a reaction from Elehat in Network periodically drops for short periods.   
    Hi Elehat,
     
    I live in Australia so we have different ISPs but when we were with a cheap ISP (Exetel) we had a lot of issues like what you are describing, we even had a solid 4 day outage but the ISP would not admit that they had a problem.
     
    So I used Traceroute logging software to see how far I was getting during bad periods, and we always had connection to external servers even when the internet was not working. I showed these logs to our ISP and when they did nothing we changed to a premium ISP (Telstra) and have not had any issues since.
     
    I recommend that you do some logging and if the issue is not on  your end change ISP.
