Lenovo PX4-400D NAS no drives dropped to $99 w free shipping

Picked one up off eBay for $100, fooling around with it. I bought 4 14tb WD external drives at Best Buy for $200 each and shucked them. Problem with my 400D is that it refuses to post with all 4 drive slots occupied with the drives, just 2, it gets stuck in an eternal loop- turns on, the off...

Skylake Z170 Motherboard Round-Up

Why are the PLX Skylake motherboards so damn expensive? Does the PLX chip take a big performance hit? I'd like to add a 3rd card if it ever comes to that. Could we start a list of Skylake boards that support 3-way/4-way SLI setups? That would make things much easier.

Try some other games out. Arkham Knight is one of the worst games out there.

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

G1.Sniper 3 1 mos out of warranty too or I would have sent it back. Oh well. As long it keeps working. I have medical bills now so I won't be upgrading again too soon. Skylake will be next sometime later.

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

Now my motherboard is stuck in the "Gigabyte bios loop". When I shut it down it automatically turns back on again. I have to hold the button down to turn it off. lol

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

I couldn't get a card working in PCI-E slot 4 for some reason but I played Witcher 3 smoothly for almost 2hrs with a card in PCI-E slot 2 (x8) and slot 3 (x16). So hopefully all is good now. I will run Valley for a bit and if that's OK I'll bring my CPU back to 4.4GHz and see how that goes. It...

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

If it continues to work fine in slot 3 I'll try putting the other card in an 8x slot. If that doesn't work I'll put them both in 8x slots. Running them at 8x won't make much difference. If that doesn't work I have 2 options- RMA both 980Ti's, or get a cheap Sandybridge SLI motherboard (probably...

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

Now I'm really clueless. Played with the newer card in slot 3 for about 40mins and it seems OK. I have to play some more with it. Could be my motherboard. Not good. Odd that I had 3 OG Titans working fine for all those years, I get 2 980Tis and everything falls apart. Well, I certainly don't...

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

Played a bit with SLI on stock CPU speed. PSU shutdown. Removed the newer of the 2 cards, all seems fine. Yeah, definitely works fine in slot 3 by itself- that's where my tests was. I played for about 2hrs tonight. I will switch to the newer card by itself and see what happens.

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

I stopped o/c my CPU (i3770k@4.4GHz) and my setup had rather varying results. The first time I ran Valley within 5mins my PC shutdown. Then I ran Valley again and it ran fine all day, no problems , and I mean like 6hrs+. So go figure. Next I will game a bit without my CPU overclocked and see how...

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

I'm running the latest hotfix, 353.49, with no Nvidia experience, 3D drivers, no Nvidia HD sound drivers, nada. Just the basics. Well, I haven't had a power down yet with both cards installed but I've only gamed for about 2hrs total @ stock speeds so far. I'll do some more gaming tomorrow...

Instability issues since installing 980Ti SLI

Went from 3 OG 6GB Titan SLI setup to 2 980Ti SLIs. Had no issues with the OG Titans for the 2+ years I owned them. I had the first 980Ti for a week by itself, everything seemed OK, then when I added the 2nd, all the problems began, hard locks galore, and even system power downs even @ stock...

Replacing PS: case position problem

Thanks. I figured as much. I'll take a look now. There must be a filter in there- it is a HAF-X after all, it has pretty much everything else.

Replacing PS: case position problem

I've been having problems with my old Antec HCP-1200 PS so I contacted Antec CS and they sent me a Antec HCP-1300 for free (nice of them). The thing is, while the HCP-1200 has the exhaust fan blowing out, the HCP-1300 has the fan facing upward or downward inside the case (depending upon how you...
