Fiddling with the newest PrimoCache (3.0.2) version

I really only installed Primo since a lot of memory on that box is otherwise not used, so I figured why not, and to see whether it might reduce access times to torrents. (I did not install it out of a need, nor can I actually say whether it benefits anything on that box) But now you made me...

Fiddling with the newest PrimoCache (3.0.2) version

I am giving Primocache a try on my media HTPC/torrent machine. So far I like it, but I am not sure whether it's really worth it. The issue with my torrent box is that it has slow mechanical HDs. The box runs Win 10 x64, and since it's really only used for watching movies and torrenting, it has...

VGA_LED stuck red on Asus P8Z68-V PRO

Hey! You said you put the RAM in incorrectly and EVEN SAW SMOKE. You could reseat components until you are blue in the face, the problem is not a poorly seated card or that you need to reseat the CPU, I mean we already know what happened. And the smoke strongly indicates some component on the...

Please Help Track Down (Temporary) Non-Boot (with VGA LED on)

Although it's 99.9% the card (since it boots fine with the igpu) I haven't bothered swapping w/ my wife's GTX970. Maybe I should when I have time. (There is a slight chance it has to do with the PSU 3VSB voltage, like I had in the past). This COULD result in startup issues (aka PC not booting)...

Please Help Track Down (Temporary) Non-Boot (with VGA LED on)

Ok I just did a few restarts/reboot with IGPU, no problem. (And earlier tested the GPU on the other slot, but same problem with booting). So I guess it's the GPU.

Please Help Track Down (Temporary) Non-Boot (with VGA LED on)

Why I am asking, to determine whether it MIGHT be the board or the GPU. Heck, it could even be the PSU. (Years ago I already had to fix the PSU because a cap was bulging, resulting in StandBy power not working and therefore no boot. Since the PSU is like 9000 years old, chances are it might not...

Please Help Track Down (Temporary) Non-Boot (with VGA LED on)

Ok, try to make this short. I am not a newbie when it comes to PCs. My system however is old. Asus Z87-Pro, EVGA 970 SC, Toughpower 800W PSU, 16GB Ram, Win10 x64. The PC worked for years without issues, but in the last few days I noticed there is a problem with sometimes the PC not coming up...

Why a Good, Quality PSU - This is Why

Let me add to this very old thread, but in context it fits. I recently upgraded my ancient HTPC box which before had an Athlon 3500+ and a NForce board from 2000 B.C. (I finally got around to put a recent board in with an i3470S and 8GB of mem. This one is only used as a media server and for...

The appeal of reddit

For the longest I found reddit the most awful thing on the internet. I couldn't understand why people would go there. I found the site just awful to navigate, nothing made sense. For two weeks or so, I find myself being on reddit almost exclusively, many hours, just reading all kinds of subs. I...

General VR discussion thread

Oh wow..this thread is so old! SO MUCH has changed since I got my 1st Rift back in October. Oculus REALLY churned out lots of top AAA titles now, there is soooo much to play and to see now, including free aps, experiences, demos etc. By the way my Rift broke about 8 months in, went back, got...

Florida Teens record and mock drowning man.

It's not just that they didn't try, because there could indeed have been reasons why someone would not actively try to jump in trying to save someone drowning. (But this is not a debate about whether them actively trying to save the man would have been dangerous/successful etc.) They also didn't...

CNN doxxes Reddit user over Trump wrestling gif

Pruitt will launch program to 'critique' climate science

This is NOT even about a real "debate" or an actual "critique on climate science", ie. asking whether or not climate change is man-made. This WOULD actually be a reasonable thing to do and there isn't anything wrong with that, EVEN if common sense would say that in case of doubt it would be...

Pruitt will launch program to 'critique' climate science

The EPA, so called "Environmental Protection Agency" that the regime is assembling right now, consisting of oil industry lobbyists, climate change deniers etc...is probaby THE biggest scam/con of this administration. We are literally talking human health and lives being at stake here. This...
