I actually already have an lsi hba in my old windows server that I can use in this one now. I couldn't remove it until transferring all my data between servers though, so I'd need a second hba if I only had 4 sata ports on the w680. And I just figured it was preferable to not spend the extra...

I have a program that I use for work, and I need to use a batch file to run numerous iterations of the same model file. I'm sure nobody here has ever even heard of this program. It is called MDX, and it is used to design and analyze bridges (I'm a structural engineer). There are 2 files...

I built this server as a replacement for a windows based plex server that was using a 2060ko to transcode. Yeah, the 2060ko worked fine, but I was trying to build my ideal plex server this time around, so I didn't want a dedicated gpu. The igpu is slightly faster than the dgpu in my experience...

It really all came down to the cpu, or more specifically the integrated gpu. This server is primarily a plex media server. Intel QS is the gold standard in hardware transcoding for plex, beating virtually any dedicated gpu on the market. So this build was centered around using an Intel chip with...

I don't know how unraid handles ecc errors or what the w680 bios settings look like. The latter can presumably be looked up online. I may be able to get feedback on the unraid part.

I have no issue taking the system offline in the event of an uncorrectable memory error. I just need to know that theres a memory error. If ecc memory gets me clear notifications of memory errors, then maybe I should just switch.

So if I am understanding you correctly, the ecc will actually stop the system from running if a dual bit or multi-bit error occurs. Is that correct? Is that by design, or is that just a high probability based on the nature of dual/multi bit errors? Another question I had was about types of ecc...

Thanks. I dont know about the error reporting in unraid, and that's what concerns me. When my stick failed, I had no crashes or any major process failures that I could tell. Everything was still running, but some things were acting weird. The logs didn't say memory failure or anything obvious...

I'm not an expert with computers by any means, and the only thing I know about ecc memory is that it has an extra chip that's used to correct errors. Having said that, does this error correcting feature of ecc ram also provide protection in the event of a ram stick failure? As in, is there a...

I understand there's a performance hit with only 1 stick. I'm only planning to run a parity check, so it doesn't even matter. Just wanted to make sure there were no ill effects. Finding matching timings is probably going to be difficult, so if that's a deal breaker than I guess I can't run 2...

I'm in the process of RMAing a bad 32gb g skill ripjaws ddr5 stick that I just pulled out of the packaging a little over a month ago. I keep seeing g skill come up when people talk about memory failures, so it seems they're having some major QC issues as of late.

I recently built an unraid server with an asrock z790 board, 12700k, and 2x32 g skill ddr5 sticks. I ran everything stock - no OC, no XMP, no tweaking anything at all in the bios. This past weekend I started having some major issues with the server while out of town. Ran memtest on both sticks...

Does it scan both sides simultaneously, or does it auto-refeed and scan both sides 1 page at a time?

Ah I see. I didn't realize that you could really get any kind of advanced functionality through third party software. I just went into PDF XChange Editor, and it can do manual interweaving and reverse-interweaving. I tested it out with 2 sheets, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 front to back. The...

I don't mind having to manually flip the stack, but I don't even see an option for interweaving sheets. There's absolutely no mention of anything related to 2-sided scanning in the settings menus. This weekend I had to do it manually in PDF XChange Editor. That's fine for like 5-10 sheets...

Been using this MFC-L2710DW now for about a week. I haven't printed much... probably 10 sheets or so, but so far it's quick and reasonably good quality. I also am in the midst of doing my taxes, so I used the ADF scanner and flatbed scanner quite a bit this weekend. I cannot seem to figure out...

I can't speak for my dad's industry (land development), but in my industry (bridge design) we basically only print full size for the final design and/or final greenline. There's no money in transportation, so we can't even print 8.5x11 in color without a project to bill it to lol. Knowing my...

Now that I think about it, last time I was at my parents I noticed my dad bought a plotter. He's notoriously cheap, so I'm sure it was one of those sub-$1000 models. He runs his own civil engineering firm from home, so he needs some way of plotting full-sized sheets.

Shit, you aren't kidding. I just assumed there's no way they would ever make a cheapo plotter, but I was definitely wrong...$900 for a plotter is crazy.

Yeah, but you're never gonna find a throw away plotter lol. Businesses need reliability, so they'll pay the premium for higher end equipment and the service to go with it. I'm not familiar with the plotters we have at my company, since i almost never plot full sized and that's IT's and the...

Yeah, that's not really my worry at all lol. If we're going to complain about hydrocarbons, printers are the least of our concerns.

I guess this is a bit outside my wheel house, considering I've never owned a laser printer before... only operated them at work. I didn't realize there were maintenance costs associated with their use outside of replacing toner drums.

I think throwing away a printer every couple years is much more wasteful than throwing away a few ink cartridges or toner drums. It seems to me that the reason the industry has gone this way and the reason the manufacturers are locking down cartridges and drums is purely for profit. Printers...

I ended up pulling the trigger on a Brother MFC-L2710DW. I was fully expecting to shell out more for a device, but this thing seems to be pretty highly regarded for the price. I cross posted on SNB forums and a couple other forums, and this model came up a couple different times. It's only...

Not a bad idea to get separate devices for printing and scanning, especially if we can get more advanced scan technology using a dedicated scanner. It looks like a basic dedicated monochrome laser printer can be had for pretty damn cheap, so maybe I should just look into finding a good...

We will pretty much never be printing photos. This is primarily going to be used for FDA forms, engineering plans, specs, etc. Very little color printing is needed, but higher speed printing and duplex printing is important. Also, relatively good resolution printing will be needed for my...

That's fine. I can forgo the 11x17 print option. I have dual 34" monitors, which makes viewing the PDFs much more manageable anyway. The specs on that HP look pretty good. How often are you replacing the toner on it?

I'm looking to replace my wife and my cheapo 'ink-cartridge-eating' Epson and HP printers. My wife works 100% from home, and I'm 100% from home for at least the next few weeks. We really need to get a good printer/scanner in the house for both of us to use. She mostly works with 8.5x11...

I found the surround settings, but it will only let me do 1080p @ 60, which won't cut it for me. I guess my gpu is too low end for this feature to be particularly useful.

Yeah, 2060ko. Is that in the nvidia settings?

I actually switched to vmware workstation a while back and I'm not looking back. It's so much better than Hyper-V. Though I sort of still have this same window issue. It seems to be related to the nested remote desktops connections, but I discovered if I minimize the RDC to my work first then...

I reported like 3 posts from these assholes. Don't put a 'report' button if you don't want to do your job and address reported posts. There's no need for arrogance like this. If you or others don't want to respond to my question, don't respond. Don't be childish pricks. Just ignore the post...

This isn't Reddit. Please just go away.

Unfortunately his last installation is wiped now at this point. He was not anticipating having windows update issues, so I don't think he backed it up at all. There are some other nuanced issues with the Civil3D license that might prevent the snapshot option from working, but at this point he...

I literally said in the first line of my OP that you can just skip to the question at the end. You failed to even read that far. I can't dumb this down any more for you, sorry. Next time just try to refrain from compulsively posting.

Thank you. I'll read up on this.

Here in the US civil engineers are not IT professionals. Didnt think that needed explaining...

You don't get paid to be here, so stop with the arrogance. Your shitty attitude got met with an attitude. If you are too lazy to read beyond the thread title, then you shouldn't even be posting here at all.

Win7 has been "dead" for a while. This is news to no one. My question is not whether or not you think I (or rather, my dad) should still be running Win7. My question is whether or not Microsoft took the actual physical steps to block the update servers. Because if nothing has been done on...
