16port! You are doing single wires to every device? This is a nice dumb switch though.

I suggest 1 wire per room and have a 4port switch at the drop if needed. A lot less cable needs to be ran.

Doing 2 ports per room, except 4 in the living room. For the rooms, I'm counting on having hard wired fire TVs or rokus or whatever, plus desktops when they are older. Fewer than 16 ports but needed more than 10.

Is there an issue using an unmanaged switch for this?

No I would use a dumb switch. No reason to limit certain connections to certain ports.

So I can get a xeon e5 1620v1 for $40. Problem is, x79 boards are fricking expensive still ($200+ for a decent board).

Is it worth the upgrade from my 2500k at 4.5ghz? I'm running quad channel ram and SLI 970s on it

No. IPC is lower for single core.

Cable on my Xbox 360 controller going out. Trying to decide between wireless Xbox one and DS4. Any recommendations?

Thanks. Am I better off getting the wireless dongle or buying a bluetooth adapter for my PC? Assuming this even works with windows 7?

Just hooked up my steam link. Ive only played the golf club, but I shot one of my best rounds with it

The controller isn't as sturdy feeling as the Xbone controllers, but I like it so far. Civ V will be an interesting test for it

Can I use my new XBONE S controller on my PC? Or need an adapter? Haven't looked into that, but it's so so much better than the 360 controller it's not even funny.

You can hardwire or purchase the dongle.

Edt: Yes the XBONE controller is so much nicer. Esp for driving in games.

Yeah the new joysticks are so smooth, I guess they got better ones for these new wireless controllers? All I remember reading was that the Xbone S came with the new "enchanced" controller.

It's definitely really nice.

May buy the dongle then idk, don't use the 360 one much as is.

ETA: oh wait I have tons of those cables including a 50ft one lmao nvm

If you were in the market for a new Android phone, would you pull the trigger on a One Plus 3 or wait for the new Nexus?
