    Taichi X370, Ryzen 1800x and 64GB RAM compatibility

    Thanks for that. I've seen a Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 64GB 2666 MHz kit that is on the RAM QVL, so I may take a punt with that. Not too bothered with pushing speed, more to get something stable that will see all 64GB with no problems.

    Taichi X370, Ryzen 1800x and 64GB RAM compatibility

    I'm thinking of re-purposing my current system (Ryzen 1800x, ASRock Taichi X370 with 16GB RAM) to replace my ageing VMware ESXi server which has 32GB, and I'd like to upgrade my current system to 64GB of RAM, as 32GB is getting a bit limiting. I remember back when it launched, Ryzen was quite...

    I feel like I'm... done with gaming?

    Just gonna add my voice to the "me too". I quickly realised that with three children my gaming time is quite limited. When I go to my room and turn on my computer for the first time in a few weeks, I have a load of updates to do, latest gpu drivers to do, steam/gog/uplay/origin are downloading...

    Anyone running their own Nextcloud server? Need some help please

    Does a quick and dirty edit to the hosts file work? Point MY.NEXTCLOUD.NAMEDADDRESS.COM to the server IP address, although will that break your SSL cert? The best option (and how I do it on FreeBSD and Nginx / Percona) is to not have it as a folder, but on it's own dedicated subdomain (look at...

    Slimline Wall Mounted Cabinet

    When I had some work done, I got cat6 put throughout the house and fed back to a small wall mounted cabinet in my office. Managed to find a 300mm deep enclosure if that's of interest. It's a Rackz 19″ Shallow Wall Mount Rack and cost approx £100.

    Virgin or Infinity

    Infinity became available in my area last Friday and ordered that night. Getting installed on Wednesday. VM in my village is excellent, but it's pricey. For the same cost as VM (50Mb down / 3Mb up), I'm getting Infinity 2 (estimated minimum of 64Mb down / 20Mb up). Went with Infinity 2 because...

    Plex Price Hike From 29/09/2014

    There are two android apps. One paid for that doesn't need a plex pass account, and a free app that does need a plex pass account.

    something with plex needed

    Not tried it, but I do know that some Samsung blu ray players can load a plex client. Found a list. Gives you something to investigate / test. http://plexforsamsung.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/54965981/app_version_overview.png

    Streaming 1080p video via xbox?

    I don't use it myself to stream to an Xbox 360, but I know it can do so and it's software I use almost daily. Try Plex media server on your desktop. It can also do transcoding on the fly that'll make use of your 2500k CPU.

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Awesome. Moved house last week and got my 100/10 upgrade when they installed. Now looking at the checker I see 120Mb by the end of January. Time to replace the DIR-615.

    i5 or i7?

    I'd say save the cash and go for the base i5 - it's what I did and haven't regretted it once. Only reason to go for the i7 15" is that it has 512MB VRAM instead of 256MB if that's needed. Went for the antiglare screen too - not keen on glossy.
