    Thecus Announces $130 and $200 NAS Applicances For Home Users

    Moderators on the FreeNas forums take a bit of a stronger stance on using non-ecc RAM in the ZFS filesystem. https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/ecc-vs-non-ecc-ram-and-zfs.15449/ indicate that zfs is great and safe, until you have bad non-ecc ram, and then all the safety features of zfs...

But yea, it transfers very fast without hiccups. Also run transmission and plex on it, best thing I've done for my local...

    My custom gaming build is not turning on at all.

    No post beep? no fans? Try removing and only using 1 RAM stick and cycle through the ones you have in case one of the sticks is bad/not seated. if that doesn't work, have you cleared BIOS?

    Microsoft Reveals Project Scorpo Specs

    not as much of a performance difference compared to ps4 pro as I'd want in a next generation. I'm thinking we want hybrid cpu with 2 or so highly clocked cores(4-5Ghz range) and a dozen or so additional weak cores for different things like networking, AI, physics. Maybe see if they can get some...

    Is 1440p 144hz Worth It?

    I wouldn't say it is impossible to see, I would say you likely won't notice the lack of 144Ghz. I run my games windows and swap between a 60Hz and 144Hz monitor and don't notice. Of course I'm also not looking for it either. I don't play many games where I can keep the frame rate over 60FPS much...

    Nvidia GeForce Experience 3 Beta Over, Get Ready To Log In For Automatic Driver Updates

    some of the features are nice, I like using shadowplay on 15m so when some BS happens on a server I can hit the hotkey, snip the video, upload and share with admins. Great feature. I have also used the streaming which would fairly well.
