    Michael Dell's "Lunatic Fringe" quote

    I get what you're saying, but we're talking about the 2000s, not 1996 (AMD K5). If you're saying you had those problems with the CPUs that came out in the 2000s (K6, K6-2, K6-3, Athlon), you had some issues no one else had. The Athlon was the first great time to be an AMD fan. I also had a...

    Michael Dell's "Lunatic Fringe" quote

    Guess it was because I was looking with DuckDuckGo (and then Google). Thanks! I guess taken in context, it's not quite as abrasive as I remembered... but still pretty bad. I would definitely have considered myself "lunatic fringe" back then, but had plenty of friends who were happy to...

    Michael Dell's "Lunatic Fringe" quote

    I remember about 20 years ago, good ol' Michael Dell said something like "People who swap their video cards in and out are on the lunatic fringe of computing". It used to be pretty easy to find references to that quote, but now I can't find squat. Does anyone remember this (and hopefully have...

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    In case anyone was curious how this all turned out... the first replacement card 644L I got was a dud. The OS didn't even detect it. Got my money back and ordered what I thought was another 644L, but when I got it, it turned out to be a 644. It took forever to arrive, during which time I swapped...

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    Still waiting for the card, but I have some new information. I decided to take the enclosure out and make sure all the cables were fine, as I had just recently done my semi-annual cleaning of it (along with my HTPC). I take them outside, clean out all the dust and crap, and put them back...

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    The seller does take returns. I was actually going to swap the cable, but tossed all the extras a while back thinking I'd never need them. As for more robust storage, I actually have a full rack of servers in my garage, complete with HP C7000 chassis and 8 blades. I run a storage shelf with...

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    Unfortunately, they are in a simple Syba 5-bay enclosure (part # SY-ENC50118). I was able to find a new RR644L card on Ebay for $50. Hopefully that does the trick, otherwise, I'll probably try a new enclosure.

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    Well, since they definitely get past bootup, and the array comes up shortly (before bombing out a few mins after boot), it could be the card. I was actually wondering if that may be the issue (again, since it affected all the drives). I could try getting another card and seeing if it works fine...

    Need help - RAID Trouble with Highpoint RocketRAID2320

    I realize this is a REALLY old post, but I'm hoping if anyone on the internet has a copy of raidtool.exe, it'll be someone on here. For anyone curious, I have a RR644L running a RAID5 array of five WD 5TB drives. No problems for years until the other day when the power went out. Now it's saying...

    Nvidia flickering with UWP apps

    Disregard. The driver update didn't fix it. It might be a *little* better, but it still happens. This is absolutely and totally ridiculous. I'm wondering if it's my monitors?

    Nvidia flickering with UWP apps

    I actually didn't realize there was a new nvidia driver update (9/30/2020). This issue has persisted over multiple driver updates, but it looks like this one may have done the trick!

    Nvidia flickering with UWP apps

    This is driving me crazy, and I've tried just about everything to fix it. The only thing I can find is that UWP apps don't support 10-bit/HDR color. I'd love to dump all UWP apps and never have the issue, but it seems like they're becoming more and more common (ie: Citrix Workspace, Wickr Pro...

    Fan replacement for Liqtech TR4 360 AIO?

    Unbelievably, it's happening again. I don't think the pump is moving any fluid at all. Either that, or the fluid is somehow evaporating? Within the last week or so, my temps have gone from high 20s-low 30s, up to high 60s-low 70s. I'm surprised my computer still works at all. If I do anything...
