The older unit on the right has a glossy finish, and doesn't heat up as much but feels lighter. The left unit was purchased on April 20, 2017, and has a felt or almost furry finish. It gets very hot but is somewhat heavier and seems slightly larger but it might be the camera. The older unit...

B350 seems to have meh IOMMU groups/support but Asrock's X370 Taichi and some other boards on the X370 platform seem to have cluttery but working IOMMU. I understand your point about ECC, but I can't see myself going from an E3 w/ ECC to Ryzen/AMD without ECC. It just feels wrong, especially...

How does a GTX 980 ti compare to AMD 480 and 470? Thinking about running Monero when I'm afk (about 10 hours a day) to get some pocket change. I usually forget to close a game anyway, so no matter what my PC is pulling moderate to high amounts of electricity (190-210W usually).

I've been hearing nagging to get rid of my E3 server. It was a 1U but that was too noisy for the SO, so I moved it to a mid-tower case. Now it's too ugly/cluttery. So here's my goal: Eliminate both E3 home-server and Intel Workstation, with a Ryzen build. I was thinking: Ryzen 1700 80+ Gold...

I left it plugged in for three days. At my server room I spent probably 3-3 1/2 hours trying to get it to work on day 1 (when the DACs arrived). I had two DACs shown, one plugged into a Windows PC that works fine with the UBNT transceiver + fiber cable, and the other was my Proxmox node. In...

Yeah, I would not recommend the XG-16 for production use for at least ten months, maybe a year from now. By then the software issues should be resolved. Honestly at my old job we used a Quanta LB6M as the 10gbps switch, and it was somewhat buggy but in a different way. I feel bad though for...

Same here, couldn't get my two CU3Ms working either. Here's the odd part, I updated my Unifi-beta XG-16 to 3.7.24.5422 from 3.7.19.5372, still couldn't get the DAC cable to work, as shown here: I tried every port, none would work. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and still nothing...
