    [SOLVED] Best GPU for content creation?

    I always have issues finding bench marks for GPUs. I am a content creator so the slightly higher clock speeds in the RTX line can be nice but I also render a lot of 4k video and occasionally use 3D modeling. I am looking for the best card to perform these tasks. I pretty much stick to solidworks...

    How to mirror my screen wirelessly to my TV?

    Hey guys, Lots of posts out there on this although they all seem to have slightly different answers and so far none have appealed to me. I am trying to mirror my PC to my Samsung Smart TV. I have a Roku that supports Miracast but I am running windows 7 so I don't think I can utilize this...

    Looking for a powered fan controller

    I was hoping that I could build a micro PC so to speak just to control these 4 fans. Are you just saying to rewire an old 12v power adapter to the 4 pin? I guess I would need to do that 4 times then. I was hoping I could find a PCB then use one of these 4pin molex to 110v power adapters or...

    Looking for a powered fan controller

    Hey guys, I am building a server cabinet and hoping to use 4 x 120mm computer fans for intake and exhaust. The only issue is I need to power these some how. Does someone make a fan controller for this kind of thing? Thanks, Kevin

    Hey guys, I have a bunch of 500gb drives that I am trying to use in a RAID with some parity. RAID 1+0 would be preferred but I would settle for RAID 1. My controller is not a hardware RAID. I am having trouble and getting a lot of errors with Windows RAID setup. When I try to setup a Mirrored...

    SATA Controller Only seeing 4/8 drives?

    Hey guys, Thanks for the replies, In disk management I am seeing 4 of the drives. I confirmed that I do have the latest driver installed as well. I also moved the cables around just to see if it did anything different and got the same result. Thanks for additional support, Kevin

    SATA Controller Only seeing 4/8 drives?

    Hey guys, I picked up this controller to run 8 additional drives in my machine. Right now it is only showing 4 of the 8 drives. I've double and triple checked the connectors inside the machine and can't quite figure it out. I'm not sure what additional information is important so here are my...

    SATA controller for Win 10 Software Riad

    Aw yeah sorry about that, I should have specified :D. I am a producer and need to a place to store my audio samples. The ones that are regularly accessed are on SSDs but I have a huge library that I would like to have access to from my main work station (this machine). So for the most part it...

    SATA controller for Win 10 Software Riad

    I've read thru a bunch of topics asking this question but I'm not really seeing an answer I feel comfortable with so I am sorry to ask but... What is a decent SATA/SAS controller to use with WIn 10's software raid. I'd prefer a card that supports 8 drives. My budget is really as low as I can go...
