I use my computers for prouductivity workloads and virtual reality. I am often bottlenecked by CPU/RAM rather than GPU. 10% better FPS in high FPS virtual reality can make the difference between no reprojection and always reprojection, and RAM speeds can make a difference to stuff like motion...

Thanks.... I thought it would be dual rank but the SR shown in zentimings made me think it could be single rank..... Could there be single and dual rank versions sharing a model number?

This is the bad RAM right? https://imgur.com/a/axsgIss

Hey all, So when the GPU is working away, sure, the fans spin up and they aren't quiet. However, there is an 'extra' noise. It waves in and out with a 'wavelength' of anywhere between 2-10s, it sounds like a bit of a grindy/vibratey/square-saw synth thing, it's difficult to describe. Is this...

Once again, thanks for the reply. I have removed GPU, and all RAM sticks apart from one. I guess I should try removing the SATA drives, but I think that's about all that's left... Now I think about it there could be a PCI network/USB card or something, will try removing those as well...

Thanks guys. How do you jumper the green and black whilst it's connected? Is that the same as removing the case power switch cable and bridging those two with a screwdriver? Been having a look at replacement motherboards and they are not even slightly cheap.... LGA 2011 is a dying breed it...

Thanks for the reply... No LEDs on the motherboard at all... I can't really remember but assume there was a blue one or something normally... Sorry to hear about your machine... Edit: well, I dug out another PSU I luckily had in another machine.... And it's similar behavior which I guess makes...

Hi guys, I tried to turn on my computer today and it's now not responding to the on button at all. Tried new kettle lead. Just did the "paperclip test" - bridging the on/green and black on the mobo connector (all black for me but followed a map). Can't really tell if the fan in the PSU turns on...

Hi guys, I've updated my aging x58 board to a hex Xeon x5675, and have it clocked at 4.5ghz at about 1.36v. Under load I'm floating around 75c generally, about as high as I'm comfortable getting. However, I seem to often have up to a 10c difference across cores, with one or two pushing 76 as...

Hi guys, I've just got a new (old) motherboard, the p6x58d-e. I have a Hyper 212 evo heatskink. This fitted in my 1366 socket GA-EX58-4DP board, and this new motherboard is the same socket. However, the Asus has some sort of inbuilt backplate, and the holes through it are too small for the...

Thanks for your replies. Yes, studio is at a different physical location with its own internet connection. With regards to rendering - it would be for things that take maybe minutes per frame, so the bandwidth required for the finished frames would not be prohibitive, but see that for...

Hi guys, I'm not great at networking stuff, so a little guidance would be much appreciated. I have two computers (+NAS) at home (behind a sky router) and another in my studio (unknown router). I'd like to have a 'fake LAN' between these machines, so I could do things like network rendering...

Thanks so much OcUK, be quiet and 5UB. I promise it's going to a loving home. Continually hitting F5 apparently paid off... Congratulations to the other winners. I've emailed details.

I have the M12II Evo running next to me right now. I hate it, it's so loud it's a complete ----take. Finally going to have to buy a quiet one before I throw my computer out of the window... Hence being in the PSU section. I wish someone had told me... [oops thought was new thread, can't...

Tell us why you want the PSU: I'm close to throwing my OcUK bought computer out of my window due to unexpected ridiculous PSU noise (rendering my Noctua NH-D14 redundant) but paying London rent I can't quite justify replacing a functional component... My quality of life would be vastly...

Thanks. Steve is correct in what I am trying to achieve, sorry for not being clearer. What do you mean by dedicated internet circuit? The office we are renting has a WiFi LAN to serve internet. There are network ports in the walls but dunno if they're gigabit. It seemed to me a nice idea to have...

Thanks for the reply. I've just looked up what a wireless access point is... My understanding is that I could plug that into a wired switch or router and that would allow devices to access that switch wirelessly. But when those laptops connect wirelessly to our wired network, which has no...

Hi guys. I'm in an office space where we are provided (awful) WiFi. I would like to create a wired network between a few colleagues, set up a nas etc. The difficulty is that a couple of these machines that need to be able to connect are macbook airs which don't have network ports. So a wired and...

Hi guys. I've run a 15m HDMI and usb2 cable from my computer to my living room (to be able to game on the projector). The HDMI cable works perfectly and I can plug one USB device into the active USB cable and that works fine. However when I attach a powered USB hub to the long cable and try to...

Hi guys, I'm tasked with making a small computer for a woman, which will be used for some light photoshop and stuff. Needs the whole kit, including monitor. What can be done for around 400-500 including monitor? Cheaper possibly? Many thanks, I'd know where to start with a good build...
