@barlop Unfortunately, if you want to enforce that then it depends on the hardware.
For example, IIRC Atheros chipsets expose all ports as a single interface, while Broadcom exposes one interface per port.
If you had some way to enforce a subnet/IP or tag a VLAN before it gets to the router (i.e. a trusted device you own attached downstream), then it doesn't really matter.
If not, then you'd need to perform the tagging on the router itself, in which case you'd need some way to tell the ports apart - and that's not doable if they all appear as one interface.
hm. Smaller colour space, and non caliberated. But a cheap namebrand caliberation thing is under 200 dollars so.... if you got a pair and that, or three, its a nice way to get tons of nice screens at a fairly nice price
I need some canned air. Also... ALL THE PORTS! (the usb3 header to 2x female goes to my front panel header and 4x ports on my monitor which I can't actually reach), and I added 2 more usb ports to the rear ;p
Especially with modern workloads, RAM tends to be a big issue for older systems.
@Nick Then it depends which games... some are CPU-heavy, some are GPU-heavy. Some are also RAM-heavy. But I doubt overclocking will yield enough of a benefit for intensive games on an older system.
if I replace the autochk.bat file I get into an infinate chksk reboot loop but if I remove that file I get an error at bootup hpwever it dpes let me get into the OS
I OC a PC if and only if: 1) I am curious how far I can push it. 2) It is old and I want t keep it in use for a tad longer. I never OC the main computers (as in, I MUST have one computer which I trust to be stable).
Atm I OC nothing, though my 5-ish year od desktop is an i7 920 @ @.66GHz which should be able to reach 4.0GHZ and which is known to reach 3.5 without increasing voltages
@snipe Right click the image, click Copy Link Address, you'll get the src to the .jpg or whatevs. Dragging the pic to another tab does the same thing effectively.
I'll just get half a meter. I might not need it all, but I'd rather not have to return to get another one
I already dread going to that store though, mostly for how dumb the route I have to take is.
I don't have a car, so I need to take the bus
but there is no direct bus route from my home town to near that store, so I need to make a detour to a city in an entirely different cardinal direction
instead of southwest, I need to go northwest, then transfer to a bus that goes south
For Intel HEDT, I would always attempt overclocking. I'd determine the system's OC limits, then set the multipliers about 3-6 bins below the highest clock rate established as stable, based on the number of cores in use.
For Intel premium performance, overclocking is likely to be very limited. Devil's Canyon has very little headroom, and this is likely to continue with Skylake (gen 6) and perhaps even Kaby Lake.
For GPUs, overclocking is done only if the game needs it to attain full performance. I do this on my laptop, although thermal constraints (especially in the summer) severely limit sustained speeds and often lead to throttling.
In the HEDT case, a good sample for the i7-5960X might test stable up to 4.6 GHz on all cores. For daily use, I would probably set the multipliers to 43/43/42/42/41/41/40/40 (1–8 cores).
BCLK would be no higher than 101, and likely would just be 100.
