Zexel switches and IP cameras.

Has anyone experienced problems with larger Zyxel PoE switches combines with 10+ cameras? I have the 1900-48HP, as well as the 1900-24HP. With either one, I get dropped stream connections and lag when switching to/from full-screen channel view. This has been going on for a month now. I've tried...

Auto power on adapter for front panel header.

I have an embedded mini-ITX device that has no power button. Instead, it uses a little dongle on the front panel pin header to always power on the unit. As you know, if the "power sw" pins are shorted, the computer turns on. However, if they stay shorted, power gets cut due to hard power off...

AMD problems with past 2 gens.

No integrated. GTX 970 works fine. So did 6870 before 7950 or R290. There is no way I'm going to keep my screen awake - the computer gets rebooted twice a month, if that.

iSCSI on Windows Server

It's more than "little extra" latency since VPN link 5MBit. Anything that goes through server is pointless, it's already too slow hosting from a local share. Do you know of any good AD-integrated NAS?

It's really disheartening given my positive experience with ATI and AMD products going back all the way to 9800Pro and OG Athlon 64

It would certainly make sense. And thus - not a solution for me. Need a NAS with AD support.

Testing Video Cards

You can run 3DMark for hours... or just pop open FurMark and any issues will surface almost immediately. May not work on older cards (pre-DX9), however.

What was your most awesome video card purchase ever ?

9800 Pro. My first discrete video card. I remember the joy of opening the box, purchased with my own funds (high school days). Oh, the wonders of DX9 in Half-Life 2. I was blown away, lol. Ever since then I skipped a generation per upgrade. So results were a non-surprising doubling or tripping...

AMD problems with past 2 gens.

I tried that. I never use sleep to begin with. I do let the monitor go to stand by, however. It would still crash. A couple of times I actually witnessed it. I was on the phone in front of the screen, the computer idled for maybe 5 min at this point (neither sleep nor monitor stand by could've...

AMD problems with past 2 gens.

Always troubleshoot with stock settings. I RMAed the card once again. Should have it back soon. I remember trying to change 2D mode settings in the early stages of troubleshooting. But the Sapphire 7950 Boost card didn't let me change voltage or 2D clocks - always ignored my settings (MSI...

iSCSI on Windows Server

AMD problems with past 2 gens.

The way it presented in my case was as follows. Browsing (practically idle machine) - randomly the screen goes black for a 1-2 sec and back on. Sometimes it's accompanied by a crashed/recovered driver balloon tip. Maybe once a day. When playing games - no issues. FurMark, 3DMark with...

Specs are irrelevant. But here you go: 2500k@4.3, 16GB/1600, GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, 660W SeaSonic. Do you want specs of my 2 other rigs I've tested the cards on? I've never RMAed cards before this myself. This issue is nothing AMD has seen before, IMO. It's obviously a hardware flaw and a wide-spread...

AMD problems with past 2 gens.

I've had AMD cards for almost a decade, easily about a dozen of them. Never have I considered switching to nVidia or had any issues with them until recently. Always overclock, voltmod, custom cooling, etc. With 7950 I had the flicker/black screen problem. It was RMAed twice. Recent one still...

Many questions about batteries.

Thank you, Paperdoc. Can you explain the current capacity in a cell? I'm assuming different compounds would yield different density. What chemical properties affect the phenomenon?

Looked over this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_equation Too complex for me to figure out right now. I want to understand what the cell's potential is determined by. At least the major contributor, if there are several. Is it the number of electrons in participating metal atoms? The...

Many questions about batteries.

Ah, this was a crucial piece of information. The ions are actually IN the electrolyte. Many diagrams I saw showed the ions travel from Cathode through electrolyte TO Anode. That made no sense to me, as it looked like both metals were swapping locations. What happens, chemically, when you...

Many questions about batteries.

Hi. I've been trying to get the concept of a battery in my head but I struggle to find info. Everything I've found so far is just very basic material. I understand the positive cathode and negative anode. I'm a bit cloudy on electrolyte. Is it a liquid/paste solution that uses some medium like...

NewEgg hides reviews for bad products on sale?

I noticed NE started disabling reviews on their sale items. The reviews are there but they hide them. If you look up the same page in Google cache, you can read 1st page of reviews. Most of the products from the recent NewEgg email have sub-par reviews (3 stars or less). That's pretty low even...

I've seen NewEgg's price creeping years ago. I'm pretty sure it's just a simple script connected to a database that can be integrated into any online shopping system, so I fail to see why it wouldn't be wide-spread. That's probably why the cheapest results on Froogle are always OOS - no buys...
