I appreciate you posting the update from AMD Doug.

Thanks Coug, no worries, that's just what my 5960k is producing. Just installed the 480s an hour or so ago, went into FAHControl and added an additional GPU slot and she seems to be cranking. I went with my mobo manual recommendation to use the top two pci-e slots for 16x on both, however this...

3840*2160 at 60 Hz is supported on HDMI input 5 at 4:2:2. http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/d-series-4k-2016

I'll just swivel my chair from side to side - will mostly be used in a monitoring application, taking a look every now and then.

I've switched from a 24" Dell running 1920*1200 to a 40" 4k Vizio TV, the biggest issue I have is that when I get close to the screen I get barrel distortion from my glasses. I can certainly see a future where I have three of these (prob sitting on folding tables).

Looks like undervolting to 1.05v for power states 6 and 7 using Wattman actually improves performance by allowing it to remain at boost clock for longer, in addition to reducing load on the PCI-E slots. There's also something you can run in Afterburner to swing the draw over to the 6 pin power...

Ordered from Newegg, they should be here on Wed. They decided to do their annual inventory count on the day of release so had to wait till this week....refunded the 2 day shipping I paid for.

Yup, on Windows. Not sure what the pricing is in Canada, but here it's a choice between spending $250 and spending around $430. Wait a couple of weeks, see how the custom cooled 480 cards overclock, and then decide. The 480 seems to perform closer to a 980 in the DX12 game benchmarks.

So went with a Founders Edition? Which manufacturer? Will you be installing an EK waterblock when available? The seahawk EK would have been the way to go but rare as hens teeth, the normal seahawk with corsair aio cooling should be out soon as well.

Will be adding a couple of RX 480s to the fleet, no points yet but early reviews look promising: http://lanoc.org/review/video-cards/7283-amd-radeon-rx-480-8gb?showall=&start=6

I believe that's still the max charge available for home use (100A circuit derated to 80A and the dual charger option on the Model S).

You can usually get the memory dimm upgrade much cheaper from a third party (Crucial etc)

Interesting. I have a vented attic (for the snow) with R-49 on the attic floor, so I don't think panel shading would help me much.

Installed a 15k BTU window unit in the house today, it's been abnormally hot and humid for the end of May.

Coug is the one with the Terminator avatar.

Maybe try something like Ultramon?

http://anandtech.com/show/10335/seagate-innov8-8tb-buspowered-external-hard-drive-review Includes a small lithium polymer battery to assist with spin up power demands. Unfortunately has all the performance pitfalls of SMR.

Yes, that's why I'm thinking of a ground mount tracker because the sun is low on the horizon during winter months. Looks like SolarCity panels are at around 22% efficiency and they manufacture them close by in Buffalo. Some of my high load demand is covered by propane (forced air heat, hot...

Australian researches hit 34% efficiency: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-18/university-of-nsw-engineers-set-solar-energy-world-record/7423762 I've been thinking of a ground mount with two axis tracking, maybe eight panels at 325W each?

Out of curiosity, which NAS and drives did you get?

Bummer, but at least you know where it is now, and not worried it's in someone else's hands.

When you look at the Dell 32" 4k Ultrasharp it seems to support a greater colorspace: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-UP3216Q-Screen-Monitor/dp/B016IBVKNU/ I imagine a 43" Ultrasharp would do the same, however if you want one now looks like the 43" Dell is a good deal (shame they couldn't...

Haven't ordered from Dell in a while but I thought they provided tracking info for UPS/Fedex?

I would consider yourself lucky that they will even do a firmware update via a service center. I know when they recently released their high end pre-processors that support HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 that the prior version owners were SOL. Which model receiver do you have?

We have a mix of Flash 840 and 900 arrays at work, they sit behind IBM SVCs to virtualize it. Moving our FlashCopy's of our critical Oracle DBs to the flash arrays reduced time to completion from over 6 hours to around 1 hour. Other flash usage is for our EDW systems. The 840 and 900 both take...

Are you looking at installing a "Wall Connector" to charge the Model S? Looks like that will require a 240V 100 amp branch circuit and deliver 80A to the Model S assuming it has dual chargers on board? Or will you go with a smaller circuit to maximize what your panels can deliver/minimize draw...

Better off waiting for the Panasonic DX902 that can deliver nearly 96% of the DCI-P3 color space: https://www.avforums.com/review/panasonic-dx902-tx-65dx902b-uhd-4k-tv-review.12385 Only thing that seems to be missing is Dolby Vision support.

Think of it as a 43" 4k hdtv that happens to have some display port inputs. That way you won't be disappointed. At least if it's any relation to their older 40" model, which was a real pile of crap.

My understanding is that you need to be careful of what version of Prime95 you are running. Newer versions will push AVX instructions in the fpu in a way that really diverges from actual real world scenarios. IIRC version 27 or something like that is best to avoid AVX. If you are using an AVX...

Less money spent on furniture = more money to spend on content.

So I picked up a pair of Sony z5 in-ear headphones, sweet baby jesus, makes me smile. I had Etymotic ER4s previously and they had tremendous isolation, but a very clinical sound. The z5s just make me tap my foot/nod my head. Next step - Pono player so I can use them in balanced mode.

Thanks for the link to the Storinator site Chewy, some interesting articles about peak current draw with 45 drives there which I posted in Stereodudes NAS build thread.

Based on these 2 articles you would prob encounter problems with your chosen power supply when the Norco is fully populated, due to the start up current demands on the 12v rail: http://45drives.blogspot.ca/2015/05/the-power-behind-large-data-storage.html?m=1 Here they see 51 Amps of start up...

It doesn't help that consumers have the "4k remastered" Blu-rays sitting on store shelves as well to really mess with their minds. At least they were actually feeding it blu-ray and not some horribly compressed 1080i shit from a cable box.......

Your plasma may well have better motion resolution than that 4k TV (assuming LCD). Given UHD Blu-ray is not yet availabke I assume it was some low bitrate 4k stream. To better plasma motion res you need to go into either OLED, LCOS or DLP display tech to potentially better it.

Wife uses a Samsung S2 8.9" tablet. Ebay/words with friends etc works much better on 8.9" than on her Note 4. I wouldn't write off all tablets just because you are havng issues with one running Windows - I've found Win tablets do much better in a dockable with keyboard form factor

Server 2012 R2 supports write back cache if you have an SSD in the storage pool, however it defaults to a 1GB size if you use the GUI via Server Manager. Need to create the storage space via powershell to specify something larger...

If I was going that hardcore I think a car radiator might be the way to go: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?189928-Yes-Another-Car-Radiator-Thread....Major-56K-Warning But configure it so it vented inside during winter and outside during summer.

Great run at the top Coug, nice work.

Got the i7-5930k to 4.4 GHz at 1.25v, temps holding steady at around 60C. This is with an H110i GTX cooler. Will let it fold for a while and see if she's stable. GPU is a slothy 5770 for now.

DisplayPort 1.3 graphics cards should be released next year that will allow for 4k @ 60Hz with HDR, HDMI 2 is still lagging behind: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9836/amd-unveils-2016-vistech-roadmap To take advantage of that HDR support we are going to need monitors capable of far higher peak...

MS SQL has already gone to per core licensing (you buy "2 core" packs up to what the server core count is). Definitely can get more expensive if you have a lot of cores. This seems to be a way to extract more cash from those running things like multiple 14 core Xeons etc.

How will you get around the problem where a grid connected array has to disconnect from the grid if the grid goes down? Have a relay to disconnect from the grid feed and just feed the house load or battery bank? Or just shutdown the inverter and run off batteries for the duration of the outage?

Thanks for the feedback guys. My desktop machine has started BSODing about 5 mins after power on, tried swapping out the memory modules to no effect. So I've decided to upgrade the aging internals (moving from an E6600 and 2GB of DDR2) and hold off on buying the drives. i7-5930 MSI X99A Gaming...

Thanks for the discount link. Will be using an Areca 1220 controller.

So I'm going to build a 4 drive RAID 5 array using 6TB drives, trying to decide between the HGST drive linked to by mubs and the WD Black. Any recommendations either way?

While some motorcycles have electonically controlled DCT type transmissions, and the 2015 R1 has a significant amount of elecronic assists, in this case there is nothing other than the left foot shifter linkage connected directly to the transmission. It does have a quick shifter feature that...
