it is garage kept so it ...

Mark

cat, sorry to hear what you have been through, you will recover.

we got kinda lucky here in clearwater, the storm turned slightly south and weaken some before landfall, but we had a very long period of high winds and very heavy rains.
not much storm surge here but a ton of trees toppled over ...

Mark

i live in clearwater, my house is 28' above sea level so no flooding, but i have spent the better part of the day boarding up windows and securing things here.
the plywood i got from Ken ,RIP, 20years ago when i couldn't find any wood, saved my butt :)

ya last weeks storm caused a bunch of flooding ...

here is system sending 143GB of my pictures to dvd sized zips for archiving purposes, running -17 offset and temp limits set to 85c, i think, not the most taxing usage but my temps are nice IMO

hi Meggie, saw this on another forum yesterday........

i just received a $30 amazon credit because the video card i got is on sale for a lower price and they price matched it
just goes to show it cant hurt to ask LOL

Mark

i was wanting a 8TB drive, but was too expensive, so i thought about getting two 4TB ones and using windows storage spaces to make one big drive, but don't really "need" 8TB, its just that i cant get my 6.4TB IO memory card to work in window 10

Mark

one other thing that home version doesn't have is windows file sync, but i am going to use freefilesync, i used to use synctoy but it seems as though it is no longer used/updated, so time to move on.

i may redo the heatsink, from what i read cpu is designed to run at 95c by default, i have had it lower running "eco" mode which is 65c,i still want to adjust core volts but for now it is default clocks/volts with expo 1 on memory and a few other changes. a work in progress for sure :)

maybe my new ...

Mark

it actually boosts to 5.5-5.7 depending on workload and gets about 37000-38000 on cinebench r23, and i am watching some volts to make sure it doesn't overvolt memory controller

easto the fans are not too bad but i am putting 2 noctua fans on there that blow more air if i need it, plus i am adding a 140mm noctua fan in rear of case because i am going to take original 140mm case fan from rear and am putting it in front, plus i added one fan in bottom blowing up to video card

Mark

how do we post pics again ??

no forum picture hosting ??

Mark

holy crap i had to dig up my password up for e-mail to login after not logging in for years LOL'

the new forum looks awesome :)

yes system booted up fine first try and i have been playing around in bios, so much to try,

i tried for days to get my sandisc IOmemory card to work. i kinda got drivers ...

Mark

remember the days of IDE and SCSI cables, those were fun to fold and manage.

easto those fans may be kinda crappy but for sure i will let ya know, i may change them out to noctua black fans in the future, i also added 2 more 120mm fans to case, 1 in front bottom, and 1 in bottom of case blowing ...

Mark

a picture before i do first bootup/install of windows this weekend, after i get her up and running i will install my 6.4TB fusion io card and hope the drivers work with windows 10. and plug in the other drives in back of case......

thanks for the advice Philip, i just wasn't sure if using 2 separate cables would pull more watts through power supply but i guess the card will pull what it needs, i have it as 2 separate 6+2 cables now, i can see it being better on the cables for maybe balancing the power delivery and not over ...

Mark

so i have a new rx6800 card and a corsair rm1000e power supply, my question is the card takes two 8 pin connectors, the power supply also has 1 pci-e cable that has a Modular PCIe Cable (8-PIN) (6+2)/(6+2) which means the non power supply end has a pigtail with two 6+2 connectors. the card ...

Philip wrote:Case looks good. RDP... Remote Desktop into the PC requires "Pro", remoting to someone else is client mode, which is fine even with Home. You can always use third-party software to remote into your PC if need be though.

that makes sense thank you

Mark

was gonna get a noctua d15 or whatever but read that this cooler is actually better on the 7950x and was way cheaper, may go water cooling later but i doubt it, i always say that LOL

the case has modern connectivity options and my old case is about 16 years old, the power button broke off years ago ...

Mark

thanks guys, looks like home is what i need, not sure what that remote desktop "host" means but i assume i can still remote into this PC from somewhere else if need be ??
i tried googling it but couldn't understand the differences LOL

Mark

i forgot, pro or home version, i always ran pro but what will i be missing from running home edition ?

Mark

so windows 10 or 11 which way should i go ?

and cheapest place to get a legit copy

so it's time for me to build a new PC it seems as though the PC in my signature is acting sketchy and is still running windows 7, i think now is a good time to build new.
the only thing i will be reusing are some hard drives , SSD's and for no w my vega64 graphics card.

list of parts i have chosen ...

Mark

ya gotta love Bidenomics huh

Mark
