My case has an all-in-one 9 pin header, but my motherboard doesn't seem to line up with that. Any tips on how I connect this? Below are the models I'm using, as well as a pic of each from the respective manuals (mobo on the left, case on the right). Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi7...

I need to build as powerful a rendering machine that runs V-Ray as possible for $2500. I don't need monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc... We're just talking the PC. See below for a parts list that hits just under $2200. Looking for advice on what to change, or where to upgrade using the final $300...

Work for a furniture company. Been offered the chance to have a triple monitor arm installed at my desk as a demo we can show customers walking through our showroom. I have a Dell Precision 5510 laptop with one HDMI out, one USB available, and a thunderbolt out port. Question is can I extend...

A little bit of gaming, but I primarily have a gaming desktop for that. Some video editing, and a little bit of rendering with V-Ray/Sketchup. It's a work machine, which means two things... 1) not my money and 2) I'm not getting a new one for 4 years most likely. So might as well take as much...

Need to pick between these two machines. Specs/design are mostly the same, but these are the key differences: XPS: i7-6820HQ CPU, 16GB RAM, 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) InfinityEdge touch screen Precision: Xeon E3-1505M v5 CPU, 32GB RAM, UltraSharp™ FHD IPS (1920x1080) Wide View Anti-Glare LED...

So here's what I'd love to be able to do. Looking for any recommendations, including specific hardware if you have a strong lean towards something. We have a main location with multiple satellite locations. I have 25 gigs of data that is updated monthly that I need to get to each location...

Is there a power switch on an X99 Extreme4 or should it just power up? My last build used the ASRock X97 Extreme4, which had a power switch and LED display showing error codes. I have my build in breadboard status. Have a PSU hooked up to the motherboard and CPU power ports. Also have my CPU...

I just built this machine a couple months ago and it went well: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/igendreau/saved/QRv2FT Now I need to build a system for rendering 3D, specifically V-Ray for Sketchup. I've got roughly a $2000 budget (just the computer, no monitor or peripherals), and looking for...

So here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/igendreau/saved/QRv2FT Some of the documentation is a little sketchy. MB is a ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 with an EVGA SuperNova Nex 750G for power. I have my 24 pin power connector plugged in. For the 8 pin 12v connector on the motherboard... there...
