    Nagging multi-GPU questions regarding workstation apps with a touch of gaming here and there....

    Okay, that sound a bit promising. Here's the thing, I am a craftsman/builder and specialize in mostly one-offs and have been getting into alot of "modern" style renovations. Long ago, in a galaxy far away I was dead set on being an engineer and have some college under my belt and worked with CAD...

    Nagging multi-GPU questions regarding workstation apps with a touch of gaming here and there....

    Hello, So last July I picked up an Asrock Vega 64 for my home office/editing/gaming PC. I'm happy with it, it replaced a mid-range Nvidia 10 series and was driven to Vega 64 for the FreeSync support and a few articles noting the good workstation performance of the Vega in some rendering apps...

    Socket 2066 longevity?

    I have a question posed in another thread about whether to go X299 or something else and this tread makes me question it more. I currently have an X99 system on Haswell-e and it was a veritable nightmare to get a stable happy system. 3 board manufacturer's and 16 sticks of RAM later I did...

    can you make an extention cord out of 12 awg speaker wire

    My 2c, check the sheathing for a voltage rating, most is rated up to 600 volts. Many cheaper extension cords found in the home, "zip cord" style are only 14 gauge stranded 2 conductor. Using 2 conductors eliminates the ground which, depending on who you ask is not a good thing to do...

    Microsoft Squashes Bugs With Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15058

    Hasen't windows always self-destructed given enough time over the years? Dont think, save for "maybe" Win NT, i ever remember a consumer windows build being totally stable and not slowly corrupting itself regardless of the hardware it runs on. Personally, i usually install apps to an...

    16 Or 32gb RAM for Ryzen 1700x

    Personally, I wish I had 64GB for Adobe Premiere. I had 16GB for the better part of a year and it constantly went to the storage drive when working projects. Now I have 32GB and it does that "Much" less. Editing mostly 1080P RAW from an Atomos Ninja SSD recorder, file sizes are in the few GB...
