Hello, I have recently purchased an Amcrest Security Camera and set it up via POE. It works great and I have been very pleased with it, but I have been having strange things occur ever since I got it. I run a nextcloud instance for personal use and I noticed that this morning it wasn't up and...

If it says it supports it, then I would assume that their website would have some drivers available then.

I personally don't think an upgrade is worth it. This system is plenty good for gaming and the biggest thing you could do for it is add more RAM. The CPU and motherboard being upgraded won't do much for you at all. The GPU being upgraded might, but you already have one that is quite substantial...

Generally your PSU manual will be able to tell you which cables connect to which slots on your PSU. Once you find the spot specifically meant for your 8pin cable, don't worry about how many pins the end connected to the PSU has. I have a PSU that has a 6 pin go into an 8pin cable, but it is...

Understandable, I will look into that then.

I think your PSU can pull it. The 5700XT is rated for 225 watts at base clock and your CPU is rated for 65 watts. You can also generally say the rest of a system is around 100 watts in consumption, barring lots of extra hard drives, bringing it to a total of about 400 watts. Note that you will...

I often find good buys for EVGA PSUs on Ebay. In all honesty, I do believe you could go as low as 600 watts with how efficient on power these devices are nowadays. Your RTX 2070 should only use about 250 watts if you overclocked it quite ridiculously and your CPU is rated for 65 watts at...

That is something I should check with Google. I am glad I hadn't started yet. I am glad to hear that the processor shouldn't make much of a difference, but do you have any thoughts on the best way to achieve ECC RAM in this scenario?

I had a kit that would do the same with my processor. I found that putting my CPU at certain clock speeds would allow the RAM to run at the originally rated speed. 4 GHz would allow it while it would crash at 3.9 GHz.

I am planning to be able to utilize just about saturating my gigabit network connection. I am eventually planning to offer offsite backups to a few small businesses in my area that have been looking for a provider. I am planning to run a couple virtual machines on this server as well. My current...

I would suggest trying Win32DiskImager. Rufus has its merits, but there have been machines where only Win32DiskImager did it right for some reason. Just remember when trying to add the file to write in the program to select the all files option in the dropdown so that it doesn't just look for...

Please post the model of your USB wireless adapter. It would help quite a bit. A good question is whether Ubuntu detects the device at all. If you go to the Software and Drivers window, you may find that the manufacturer has a driver you can enable. Sometimes the manufacturer will have a driver...

I enjoy Gigabyte a bit more personally and their board is smaller, so you could keep it in a smaller case. I don't know too many folks that need a full ATX anyway.

Hello, I am looking to go beyond my current NAS into an enterprise grade NAS. My current NAS has an Intel Q9400 and I am now looking at moving on to something with ECC memory. The problem is, I am trying to discover if certain kinds of ram are safe with certain motherboards and otherwise. I am...
