This could be nice for having a bench full of Lab-Equipment. Just plug in your scopes, PSUs, testers, etc. and off you go.

There seems to be a wierd quirk with fan control when I launch Afterburner. Apart from that, smooth sailing.

Railroad Tycoon 4 would be well worth it.

While 80°C is fine from a within spec standpoint, you more than likely need a 2000 series CPU to upgrade the BIOS (1000 may break during the update bricking the board).

Your issue looks a lot like a problem a friend had (and I ran into it on my notebook) a while ago. Windows 10 sometimes decides to load zombies (= process without a parent programm) into RAM. To make windows clear the old pagefile: Regedit...

Anything above and including 550W should be fine. With 750W you could throw in a second GPU without worrying about anything. That B350 mobo on the other hand, don't! Do yourself a favour and get something X470 or X570.

That was bad on a technical fuck up layer. Yes, Nvidia should have disclosed that. After the fuckups with Microsoft and Apple, I would believe an Nvidia engineer claiming the slow half Gigabyte slipped through QA. Intel on the other hand, bribed Dell and German electronics store chain...

Nvidia knows where legal and illegal start and end. They may be shady at times, but not "documented in court and convicted for it"-shady like Intel. The Full 518 pages of "intel is the bad guy"

I assume that is nickel plated copper and steel?

The source is Reddit, so you got a source about as good as /dev/null is a place to store your backups. IIRC we had the exact same bullshit story last year, published unchecked, without any validation to speak off. Is this the "hole before holiday season"-story now? Will we get to read the same...

A great big Depends What are you aiming to do? For a powered 5.1 setup, onboard optical to its optical in is your best bet. For headphones, look into external DAC/AMP units like the Schiit Fulla or FiiO K5 Pro.

Don't bother with the M50's, the 40's are just as good for cheaper. ADAT and MADI would like a word with you. For headphones, there is no need for more than two channels at 192kHz 24bit. All the other smoke and mirror tech is not needed (or wanted).

Oh yeah! An inline control that breaks and turns mono both channels into mono one channel for that ultimate screaching in everyones left ear! Get a Sennheiser PC 2 CHAT instead, costs half, does the same.

Wrong. Directly from Microsoft: The only thing that talks to the Hardware is the Kernel or Kernelmodules (like drivers). The file system only "rarely" gets involved for reasons of latency. All the virtual-physical address abstraction happens just by the kernel. Else every storage call would be...

Dedicated 750W PSU for the CPU, a second one for the rest of the system. Easy! To get a better understanding of what is going on, look at servers. Why look at Rome when we have Matisse at home? Simple: Rome got all stops pulled. Those things run full tilt vs Intels best offerings (price vs...
