So I had some issues with the onboard AMD RAID 1 in my desktop the last few days. Over the years I've grown tired of dragging that RAID between AMD and Intel platforms so plan is to kick the RAID off the motherboard. I'm on the look for a minimum 3 drive hardware RAID enclosure for RAID 1 with a...

So system was booting slowly and I was having issues opening files on the RAID1. Come to find RAIDXpert2 says my RAID 1 is in critical status. One of the 4TB spinning drives has gone bad. OK. Odd thing is I cannot access any of the data on the remaining good drive. I have removed the offending...

Ain't saying much... but I'll own it. Had not gamed all summer so My 12 cores and water cooled 3080ti have just been serving up web pages. Had some downtime and decided to fire up BF5, AB was not applying the OC for some reason. Went to saved profiles.. no dice. Fire up a game or reboot...

So just getting back into the team green swing with this 5900X. Found a good video on setting up an undervolt with PBO2 last night and ran with a negative 30 for a few hours last night gaming, got one BSOD. But until then the boost was up to 4950 and temps were down a good 10c as was the total...

I've been on Intel based setups for some time now, believe the last AMD in my main rig was a FX55? Anyway.. just replaced my 9900 with the 5900x setup in my siggy and I'm about to start tweaking it after I get all the data back on the RAID. I have a RAID 1 and 0 running. The intel RAID function...

So I received my card and have it installed. Will miss my 1080ti/SLI setup but this card is a beast... did not expect this much of a performance increase. System runs a lot cooler with just one GPU as well.. added bonus. So what's a reasonable OC for these things? I have power limit to 112 and...

Been window shopping video cards from both AMD and NV. One thing I've noticed on many of the AMD offerings is they only have 2 DP ports and usually 1 HDMI. I'm running 3 OMEN monitors in surround... would I have any issues running 2 on DP and 1 on HDMI?

I was planning on holding off getting a new GPU to avoid scalper pricing but the value of the 2 cards I have in my rig says now might be the time to sell. Having a hard time with a fair for both parties valuation. I have an EVGA SC and FE sitting in my rig under water and have no desire to...

I'm thinking of migrating to a single 6800XT when available. I've been running a pair of 1080ti's in SLI to push 3 Omen 32" Freesync monitors for a bit now. It's been a challenge to keep it running at times and nearly every reboot the taskbar shows up in a different location despite being...

OK.. PC wise I've been living under a rock for the last 2 years after I assembled this rig. Up until a week ago I had not PC gamed in nearly a year.. life.. you know. Anyway I was reading about and noted on a site that the price of the i7-8086k is now nearly $800 on Amazon. What gives?

Time to upgrade my son's PC. Currently running i3-6100. Looking for i5 or i7. Let me know what you have and how much you'd like to get. Open to partial trade if you would like the i3-6100 I am replacing. Heat in my siggy.

So I'm stuck here. Been playing BF5 a lot and probably will not go back to BF4 even with all it's issues. BF5 requires a driver update my current SLI/Surround setup hates.. specs in siggy. Setup works beautifully with the 399.07 drivers. All the 4xx drivers break SLI and Surround on my system...

I had to re-image my boot drive because the new 4xx drivers are crapping out my system. When I update to any of the 4xx drivers my system will sometimes not boot.. or when I do get into windows it forgets my surround settings and the NV control panel refuses to come up. If I kill off the first...

Gettin lazy in my old age.. been watching but have yet to see any of the usual suspects pimping 2080Ti's with pre-installed water blocks??

Hi everyone. Did some upgrading this summer and find myself with a lot of spare parts taking up space. Selling all or naught. This will be the best $600 obo you will spend this summer. Paypal only. Here is what I have: Boxed 5820k running at 4.4Ghz with XSPC water block installed on MSI X99...

been thinking of doing a bit of a side grade to my current system to get a bit more single thread performance with higher clocks. One thing that has me concerned is the state of PCI-E lanes on the 8700k. With only 16 lanes is it possible to run SLI and an M.2 boot drive? I'm thinkin 8x8 for the...

So I updated my MSI MOBO BIOS for the security fix.. made the adjustments for my OC and went about my business. System runs fine at 4.4Ghz just like before updates.. throttles down to 1.2ghz when idle.. but the vcore sticks at 1.285 instead of dropping as well. CPU is under water and runs cool...

These M.2 drives are getting more popular and cost competitive, I've already gotten 4 of em in my household. Does anyone make a decent USB drive dock or adapter for these? I just purchased a newer HP model to replace the Samsung in my main rig. Sure would like to be able to format it before...

Both my 1080ti's are under water. Getting some decent clocks outta them.. constant 2k GPU and 5800 on the memory. Both cards run under 40c full load. Oddity is that card 1 runs at 1.093v and the second only hits 0.981. The clocks match. Is this common?

Howdy all, have a couple of NV cards up for sale. Tinypic seems to be having issues.. will get photo of 1080ti up when able. First EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3, -SOLD- Specs here: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING, 11G-P4-6696-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors & RGB LED G/P/M...

Hi all. Up for sale my nice lil 980Ti with an EK Titan block which as served me well. Run under water since I purchased. No heavy OC, just slid the power limit to 106% and core clock +200. No coil whine at all. Works perfect and if you have a decent loop it'll never see more than 50c. PN...

Well I bit the bullit and bought a second 1080ti for some sli goodness. Ran into space issues and the lower card fan is now smack against my current sound card. I mostly game, need opinions on the best gaming USB device as I need to empty that last PCIE slot so the GPU can breath. Thx -scoot

Been a few years since I've run SLI, do the "old" flexible SLI bridges still work on the new 10 series cards or do I need to spend a few more $ on one of the newer fixed "X" slot bridges?

Mine is easy, original copies of Lucasfilm Games Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe and Their Finest Hour The Battle Of Britian on 5.25 & 3.5 floppy. Countless hours burned playing these 2 games in the early 90's. Been playing the dosbox version of latter this morning. Ah the memories. :D...

Upgrade bug got me so my "old" GTX 970 needs to go. It's a Zotac model VD-ZT-90101-10P with a EK-FC970 GTX block installed. Not interested in selling w/o block. Asking $250 Paypal + shipping to confirmed address. If you do not have Heat please PM first. My heat is 97-0-0 since 2001 or so. If...

As the title says. I just reinstalled the WB on my 980ti. It came with white/blue thermal pads for the memory and VRM's. I'm accustomed to using the grey pads they have been shipping with for years. I figured, new color.. oh well. I thought it was odd after peeling the cover from both sides of...

Looking for firsthand experience from owners. I have a GTX970 (rig in siggy) and game at 1440p on a single monitor. I like to run with a lot of eyecandy and have been pretty happy with the performance in BF4 with the solo 970. I am planning on playing Fallout 4, GTA 5 and Witcher 3 in the near...

Decommissioned a system some time back and the parts have spent too much time on my workbench. Specs: MOBO: Biostar A780L CPU: Athlon II X4 640 RAM: 2x2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 MSI: 6850 Cyclone. First $150 plus shipping to your address (CONUS ONLY) in paypal account takes it. Heat in...

That's three 2TB Western Digital 5400rpm greens with 64mb cache. Absolutely pristine condition with very light usage. Bought these retail last November and ran outta space a lot sooner than I thought and replaced them in my RAID last week. Should have over 1.5 years left on warranty. Would like...

Bought this cpu from a [H] member a few months back. Frys had a sale on the 3770k and I could not resist and bought one. It is a bare CPU, no box no heatsink. Paypal to verified shipping addresses only. No Heat/references, ask first. My Heat in siggy. PM if you have questions. Thx

I've updated Adobe flash player and am currently running the release 13.12 drivers with no other issues. But sometimes when I play online videos the output does the following: This happens with every video in Firefox and only sometimes in Chrome. No issues with IE yet. it's a fairly...

Long and short here. I'd like to convert some of my old VHS movies and hi-8 home movies to DVD's. I do not need anything fancy with tons of bells and whistles. Just s-video and component connectors on one end.. usb on the other. I'd like the video output quality to be at least as good as what's...

I was going to use these in my system but went a different route. The Swiftech MCR 220-Drive-B radiator I bought new retail some months back. The Laing DDC-1 4 wire pump was purchased from forum seller bmaverick at the same time. The pump is installed in the radiator has been tested with...

Just an FYI. I was looking for a new BIOS for memory compatability yesterday and noticed there was a new one out v4.1 so the board now supports Ivy Bridge. - Update BIOS for IvyBridge 22nm CPU. Got it working on my rig. Note once you flash to the 4.1 BIOS you cannot go back to earlier...

Reading around it looks as BF3 is fast becoming the OC'ers acid test for GPU overclocking. FM and Heaven are a good start but a lot of OC's that pass them will fail BF3. I've experienced this personally as well. Who else wants an official BF3 benchmark? :D

I just installed a custom water loop and I'd like to set a max CPU temp in case of leakage or pump failure. I must be either going crazy or the option is not there to be found. I scoured each BIOS screen but I cannot for the life of me find an option where I can set the temperature for the CPU...

I'm awaiting a shipment of Scythe GT AR15's. Their default speed (1850rpm) is faster than any fan currently spinning in my system. As quiet as people say they are I'm pretty sure I'll be needing to adjust them to my personal acceptable noise/performance levels. I've been looking around the case...

Howdy all. I got a swinging deal on a Swiftech MCR220-DRIVE-B 2x120 Radiator and a brand spanking new 4 pin MCP350 pump for it. Rad specs here:Swiftech MCR220-DRIVE-B 2x120 Radiator w/ Integrated Pump Housing & Reservoir. I'm getting an XSPC RayStorm CPU water block to replace the Corsair H70...
