I bought a house with a seperate building on the property. I'm remodeling the building into a small one bedroom apartment to rent out since I live in a college town and apartments are in short supply. Eventually it might turn into a mancave later on down the line. Now my problem is getting...

Just another reason not to buy Intel. They are always changing things just so we have to spend more money. There is no reason the old coolers won't work with the new processors.

I stopped buying and recommending Seasonic a while ago. They have turned to garbage. They put out units that have the loudest coil whine I've heard WHILE THE COMPUTER WAS TURNED OFF!!! They sell nothing but garbage now. If a business goes out of business it went under. It doesn't matter...

Are you really saying there isn't a CPU shortage? Are you saying the Techpowerup staff is lying to us too? https://www.techpowerup.com/280884/global-chip-shortage-takes-another-toll-now-your-home-router

Yes I updated the firmware on my cards they were only one version older than the newest. I don't know why you get higher speeds without the -P 8 command than I do. From reading iperf on Windows just seems to be inconsistent on what speed it gives over 1G without the -P. My inconsistant speed...

I finally found the answer. Iperf now reports close enough to 10G. I even tried it with the Cat5e cables and it worked with those as well.

Yes. I've tried every driver I could find that would install on the card.

I never thought me buying Cat 7 cables would cause such a fuss. You all act like I spent huge amounts of money on these cables. You all need to calm down they were actually cheaper than 6a cables on Amazon. The new cables did not help at all. I can't get over about 3G even with Cat 7 cables...

I tried connecting the computers directly with a cable and get the same results. I bought everything off ebay so returns will be a hassle. But I'm also not going to spend $300 per network card to buy Intel cards either. I used the driver that Windows loaded as well as the latest driver from...

Ok. I will buy new cables and see if that helps. It was just the cables I already had. Since I read from several places that Cat5e works with 10G just fine I figured I wouldn't bother replacing them.

I tried enabling jumbo frames, it made no difference. This is what I get with iperf. I'm not even getting 3G now. Both cards say they are connected at 10G in Windows. Both cards are in 3.0 x4 slots. I have a SATA SSD in my computer and a pair of RAID0 hard drives in the server. That I...

I bought a Netgear 10 Port switch that has 2 10G ports. I bought this switch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076642YPN/ I needed a new switch so I figured I'd get one with 10G ports. I also bought 2 10G network cards for my computers. These are the network cards I bought...

Were I am the price difference is minimal to the point that it doesn't really matter. The Intel system is using a B460 motherboard which is supposed to support up to 2933 memory. The AMD system is using a B550 motherboard, B450 boards in my area aren't really cheaper in my area. The B550...

Sort story - My buddies rig died it was a Phenom 960T with GTX 760. Yes he played games on that. Mostly things like Among Us but other games like Rocket League too. He played anything modern at 720 and was pretty fine with that. He wants me to build him a new gaming rig on a budget. He is...

The idiocy of some of the people in this thread makes my head hurt. You idiots think my processor is soldered? Can you read? I already looked and my processor is not soldered. The temps are bad with the stock cooler. The power supply is right on top of the cpu fan and they are fighting for...
