Hi folks: What would you recommend for cost effective 10Gb ethernet switch and PC adaptors? Would be nice if there was a choice of 6 to 12 ports. Thanks

Ok, brother-in-law accidentally put the wrong power cord! td;dr Windows 10 PC no longer boots and the Windows system partitions are foobar. The C: drive looks completely intact. So is there a way to recreate the system from that C: drive? I have extra drives to copy stuff back and forth if...

I have building an application platform, and plan to deploy it on Google Cloud (GCP) once it becomes a viable product and makes money. ;-) In the interim, I would like to setup my home network to be able to run the same platform as the one that will eventually run on GCP. The question I have...

For those that are interested in getting an RTX. This poll is not to vote on what you think of RTX, but simply to understand interest and buying pattern. Thanks

This is my part list. I re- purposed the old PSU for another build and need a replacement. According to PCPartPicker it has 356 Watts with of parts. Some overclocking will be done, but nothing insane. Can you suggest a value for money good PSU? I prefer to buy from www.scan.co.uk, but if...

I have an oldish ASUS laptop, that has a M.2 SATA interface. I really do not feel like buying an M.2 SATA SSD as I would not later be able to use it as a NVMe SDD. n00b question: Can I, or are there NVMe SSDs that can operate in SATA mode as a boot drive? Laptop in question is a ASUS...

http://wccftech.com/amd-rx-vega-64-outperforms-nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-23-dx12-forza-7/ Specially interesting, frametimes 99 percentile is much better with Vega.

Intel to Bring 8-core/16-thread CPUs to the Mainstream Desktop Platform in 2018 I hate this crap! I was all excited about waiting for 8700K, now this. Am I reading too much into this? I guess choice is good, but do we really need: Z370, Z390, X299 all at the same time? EDIT: Before anyone...

Ok, I lost track of the current state, actual current state of multi gpu game support. Here is what I think I know: - Single fast card is always better - AMD currently does not support Crssfire in their latest cards/drivers. Here is what I would like to know: - all this DX12 multi gpu model...

I'm using UnRAID (KVM), and had a Windows 10 VM with 64 cores. Now I changed the VM to has 68 Cores, however Task Manager and Device Manager>Processors only still show cores/threads. Using HWInfo64 it does show that the system does indeed have 68 cores. Is there something I can do to...

Be a wo/man! Tell your [H]fellow what is your wisdom on Vega. Then be judged on release, as choices are public. Sorry, but I love polls!

I want to build a hybrid system. Sort of a High Performance version Hybrid Car ;-) To that end I want to merge my existing gas powered (read high thread count) 2 x Xeon half with a 2nd new electric powered (read high IPC) CPU. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web...

So I got a couple of RX 480s mining Ether. When I want to game, I stop the mining. Now I am wondering, can I keep mining while gaming? I mostly play BFBC 2, so I have spare GPU power. Anyone tried? I'm worried to screw things up!

If you can put up with Scottish accents, pretty interesting video on gaming with AMD.

I love multi monitors. Hell I have a triple mon setup and I wish I could have more, but just running out of desk space. Is it possible to use VR as a means of have multi me (virtual?) monitors? Could I for example set up a grid of 3x3 2560x1600(30") monitors so that the experience would be...

If you guys can predict the future, which Ryzen will have the highest single threaded performance? Assuming that any Ryzen among [H] readers would be overclocked, I am referring not the published frequencies, but which one would be fastest once overclocked. Would it be also a safe bet to...

Yo, so a friend of mine wants to get her kid a gaming rig + HTC Vive. Now, I dont think she has a lot of extra cash. So what kind of gaming rig would one need? CPU: i3, i5, i7? GPU: 1050, 1060,1070, 1080, Titan? Memory: 8, 16, 32? What else matters for VR?

I'm not talking about GHz or any other spec. Just any generic single threaded application performance.

Just installed unRAID for home use. Got a decent dual xeon setup, so i figured I could run a unRAID as a file server, and to run a bunch of VMs i need. My only concern is the reliability of the stability of the file system. Any experience with unRAID? What are your experiences? This is NOT...

I just bought a RX 480 which has the following ports: 3 x DisplayPorts (1.3 and 1.4) 1 x HDMI 2.0b My monitors in a PLP configuration are as follows: 2 x Dell 2007FP DVI-D (Single Link) D-sub 1 x Dell 3007WFP-HC: DVI-D (Dual Link) Is there any combination of adaptors that will make this...

I guess when you are so low, anything is good news.

Just want to share my music, videos, and documents around the home network. Been using W7, and seems to work well enough. I am not planning to upgrade the hardware, so while I am at it, is there any advantage of moving to a Windows Server setup?

Samsung plans to add intrusive advertising to its smart tvs. WTF!

I got that SSD because I needed some tech therapy. Is it a waste to use it as the datastore drive? I plan to use it for all the VMs. Planing to have a specific VM as my server with all my HDDs, but that is a separate question.

Ok, based on suggestion on a previous thread, I have ordered a Sata controller so I can passthrou some hard drives. I am using the same USB key to boot ESXI. The problem is now for some reason none of the changes I make stay after a reboot. Right now I have a Samsung 950 Pro as for Datastore...

In case you have not seen this... the Radeon R9 Fury X is no less than 31-33% faster than the Nvidia GTX 980 Ti (at 4K) AMD clobbers Nvidia in updated Ashes of the Singularity

So I figured I'd give EXSi a try coming from a Win10 +VMWare Workstation setup. After reading a bit about ESXi and Installing it, it looks like it is not what I bargained for :( The idea was to run all the VMs I previously ran under Windows 10 + VMWorstation under ESXi. Hardware: mobo...

I need to go out today and buy a set of wireless speakers. I have a server Windows 10 box that has all my Flac and mp3 music. What are some "decent" wireless speakers for putting in the large dinning room/ kitchen? There really is no point in them having any sort of stereo or audiophile...

Ok, so I was part of the windows insider program and was testing it on a VM. Is there a way now to use that VM license and use it on a new PC?

I have the Canon 6D (20.2 MP). If I dont crop the picture, what is the largest size of a print can I get? Of course I mean that does not look pixelated or bad. BTW, when printing, do you send the RAW or a good quality jpg?

I am curious about GPU passthrough. Right now I run Windows 10 + VMWare workstation. This allows me to do some gaming if I am bored. If I were to run ESXi, would I be able to install Windows 10 and run that with GPU passthrogh and game on that VM instead?

Any idea or rumours about the expected release of next gen AMD and NVidia GPUs? From what I remember from Kyle, it would be some time in 2016. But are we closer to know expected quarter?

So I took a picture: Auto mode: f/4, 1/60sec, ISO-8000, 0 Steps, 70mm (taken from file properties) Main question: What if I wanted the same picture to be not just focused on the main subject, but more of the other areas (if not all). Is that possible? How? BTW, feel free to tell me...

Any opinions/reviews for top 3 thermal paste? I need to get some, and asking for top 3 because I might not be able to find one or the other.

As a new AMD fanboi I feel compelled to post this.

I was wondering if it is possible to provision virtual machines from Windows 8? Yes, not Server. For now I have a workstation with 2 x E5-2699 v3 running windows 8. Some of the users want to be able to remotely connect and create a VM for testing some applications. Is this possible...

Sorry, but I am getting a bit confused about the Windows 10 upgrade thing. 1. I have a windows 8.1 system. If I upgrade to 10, will I loose my 8.1 License? 2. If I don't loose my 8.1 license, does that mean I can just do a backup restore and everything is fine? 3. If I want to upgrade...

tl;dr: AMD is the 1st to support PLP gaming on my monitor setup that I bought back in 2007! Long Version: Back in 2006 I bought a HP PC from Costco that came with a NVidia 6200. I found it a bit slow for some games, so I decided to buy a NVidia 7600. Then I found that the family was using...

Are any of the Adobe web development tools worth using, over let's say standard LAMP, or another setup or CMS frameworks? I realize that depending on what you are developing different tools might apply. Just wondering if the Adobe suite for web dev is worth it for any scenario.
