Ty, but I have this awesome case that supports this many hard drives natively https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-7-xl/Black%20TG%20Dark%20Tint/ Nice, Ty

Ok, thank you. That does make the most sense. Hopefully, I'll be able to the three to four 3.5" drives and an SSD off the one PSU port without issues? It's a truenas server with (16) 3.5" drives and a (17th) boot drive (SSD).

Ok, is there another cable available or can I just force the 6-pin cable into the 8-pin port? (Really the only thing that requires forcing is the clip)

Ideally, I need to connect one more sata power cable to my Corsair RM750x but I'm out of 6-pin sata power ports. I ordered this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DV1Z32Y/) 6-pin to 8 adapter cable hoping it would work. Unfortuantely, I didn't realize doesn't fit because two of the 8-pins are...

Yeah, I'm not 100% certain which direction the transfer is going I think I have it right with the iperf client transfering to the iperf server (client and server being the same as plex client and servrer respectively). But the I also did the test with -reverse so it should be going in both...

I'm trying to track down slow streaming speeds from my Plex server to my parents house. Both the server and client are technically on a 1Gpbs connections. The server is FiOS and speedtests routinely return (940/380) speeds (it really should be 1gbps upload too but it's suprisingly slow in my...

Oh, I didn't see this reply and didn't get an email about it. :/ Yeah, I wish I knew which component specifically. I'm hoping it solves itself in a couple months during the winter when the temp in my house drops ~8°F.

Hi, my PC starts to freeze/stutter for 1-10 seconds after playing Spiderman Remastered for several (like 5+) hours. I'm playing in 4K 120hz with every setting maxed, so it could just be the rtx3090 graphics card, but it's fine for so long, so idk. I assume these type of delayed issues are...

I have an ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme with an TR 3970X. I was all set to get a Samsung 980 Pro to make use of the PCIe 4.0 NVMe speeds, but then WD just announced their Black SN850 4.0 NVMe ssd. Any advice on which I should choose? Also, what are the differences between using the M.2 slot vs the...

The majority of the time the only strenuous activity is occasional unraring and remuxing 4k video. There will be days I can see gaming for 10 hours straight though. But there also will be plenty of idle time. Idk if it matters, but I'm undecided on whether I'll be streaming games to my TV or...

I just built a gaming computer back in April. At the time I decided to reuse my old Nvidia GTX 980 Ti after reading that I was better off waiting for the 3000 series GPUs rather than the 2000 series that were out already. Naively, I didn't skimp on any single component aside from the damn PSU...

Nm, I guess it's typical for motherboards to not be shrink wrapped... https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/510511-are-motherboard-boxes-supposed-to-be-sealed/

I think Microcenter sold me an opened box MB..It wasn't shrink wrapped and I just watched an unboxing video and it's also missing the multi screwdriver it apparently comes with. I can't imagine the box just comes open, no shrink wrap or security tape or anything. Thanks

Awesome, thank you for confirming and informing me!

I searched and found a lot of results regarding ram speed that is higher than the MB supports (in which case the MB safely downgrades the speeds to match), but not in between the supported speeds... I just bought a Asus ROG Zenith Extereme II, Threadripper 3970x and G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB...
