It's whatever, I'm not a believer in the whole local fan thing. Doesn't bother me.


At least no ever questions the Raiders, we haven't had a bandwagon in about 15 years.

Although I believe UH is young, full of drugs and/or retarded. I do understand the non local fan thing.

I grew in a family who loved the Steelers. None of them from SE LA have ever been to Pittsburgh. I So with loving the Steelers I jumped onto the Pens with Mario as my hockey team. Now we are starting to make yearly trips to the area for games.

So my X79 sabertooth that I ordered off of ebay comes in today. The description said it had a boot device LED error, which seems like an easy clear cmos fix after doing some googling

Hope it doesn't bring headaches.

Motherboard issues are a pain. Only reason I went from X79 to X99 because I couldn't troubleshoot random Mobo issues. They stopped selling them new and eBay didn't have any I would want listed.

I would still be on X79 if it wasn't for that issue. Made no difference in game play for the most part.

Fyi kids never listen to UH on CPU performance and how much it affects gameplay. It was huge at one point but basically just have 4cores and around 4.0GHz. UH is an idoit.

I would probably rock a 3960x if I didnt have my 5960x. I just needed an x79 board for my server, and this was a cheap alternative.

Yeah but damn power hungry. The heat would also be annoying. This is the reason I run all my 24/7 stuff on lower powered gear.

I recommend getting an Intel NUC if it comes with a RealTek one.

Edt: Get a dual and use one for Tx and other for Rx.

No collision.

I'm turning my spare bedroom closet into a server closet.

Got one of these for $25

It's going to house this build right now with a 48 port POE gig switch, and sometime in the next few weeks I'm going to get two Dell R710s and Ubiquiti AP AC PRO (Or AC Lite). One R710 will be a FreeNas box and PfSense router, and the other will be a dedicated Game server for minecraft, rust, etc.

I want to jump deeper into ESXI, so these will be a good start

Edit: I also need to find a decent UPS for it, but that'll be later down the road too

This is awesome. I'm not IT but design solutions. Once you have a working knowledge it is easier to get what you want from the IT department because you are asking the right questions.

What is your profession? Still in school?

I started with an industrial construction company just because I knew VBA and SQL. It has taken me many places. Was a great foundation for me being a "software jockey". It is good to have those skills and knowledge no matter what field you venture into. It helped me bridge the gap between not being an engineer but supporting a project in every phase.

I'm much more interested in networking and security tech than anything else. It is deep, ever changing and useful. Homelabs are a must as a hobbiest/enthusiast.

If you are not buying used. SAMs oddly had the best prices.

He is? IDK what Blue does for a living.

I just know he has been in school the past few years. Have no clue.

That is good though. Homelabs are still needed to learn.

I think I found out why this dude sold me the motherboard as broken...


He had his BCLK multiplier (I assume he was trying OC a 3820?) at 130

I kept getting to the windows logo with the spinning wheel and it kept crashing, so first think I find in the bios was that. Now it's running perfectly

But for what I do, I basically run a high schools IT department

Awesome. Mine is like half that size.

Bought in new or used? I see some type of stickers on the front? Like something you see on school or government equipment.
