Thanks all. I knew mechanical drives have their own limitations but was hoping my data transfer speed threshold was not currently limited by the Ethernet. Too expensive to go faster at this time. I never thought about using the 5G either (so will give that shot).
One less reason to build a...
Newb Question
Right now using Ethernet I transfer large file media data between HDD's on two different PC's at about 110 MB/s. Lets say the sending drive and receiving are the same brand and both 7200 RPM. Would upgrading to the 'latest/greatest' MB gain me any transfer speed?
Going to SSD is...
May end up being basic. Uninstalled Kodi, cleared cache, reset device (just to be certain all remnants were gone), reinstalled and so far all is OK. It's playing 4k UHD files it could not before.
Never had what may have been a corrupted version of Kodi before. Still have not finished running it...
Thanks. Can't be network. Both use the same and both are running ethernet (not wifi). Can't be HDD because I'm using the same 7200 RPM HDD that has the file on it and playing it INTERNALLY (yes - not enclosure) successfully when in the i7-5960x and only see the buffer when playing in the...
Streaming from i5-7500 to Shield (using Kodi) then to TV buffers playing 4K HEVC UHD, Not playing on.
To clarify that it is not a Shield issue, codec issue or other pc component issue ....the same media file plays fine streaming from an i7-5960x to Shield (using Kodi) to TV
1. CPU (The 630) in the case of the i5-7500. (None on the i7-5960x either... all media being sent to the router as data.) The cpu's only job it to make the data available to the ethernet and then on to the Shield. It's only streaming.
2. Same file using Shield with i7-5960x streaming = perfect...
Sorry I wasn't clear.
But the Shield (and Kodi) are completely capable of processing the codec that the i5-7500 also plays (but continually buffers).
I know this because when I change and use my i7-5960x cpu all media files play without buffering including the HEVC 4k UHD using the Shield and...
So.... I have this little PC. Specs are:
Fractal Design Node 202 with included Integra SFX 450w Power Supply.
Intel i5 7500 Kaby Lake 3.4Ghz Processor 7th Generation
Noctua N-HL9i Cpu Cooler
Gigabyte GA-H270N- Wifi Motherboard.

Does anyone know the 'backstory' about this? Is the FBI concern to ditch Kaspersky with merit?
I'm dubious because the company offered their source code as proof but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this is a witchhunt or done out of spite (think election - but do not drag this tread...
Thanks for all the input. I'll eventually likely have no choice but to upgrade.
It seems to me like a game based on offering consumers 'nicer looking media' but at the expense of repurchasing media they have accumulated.
I suspect that is the main push behind 1080p to 4k and soon 8k.
I...
The problem is the content is not available in a better format. Both The Outer Limits (original) and One Step Beyond (and others) while available on DVD were not 'remastered' - just transferred and look horrible on 4k. If it was a matter of time before they were actually remastered properly I...
The original size is too small as the only reason I have to upgrade is to have a bigger image. (I've seen the original image size running it through Kodi but prefer it larger.) But you do make me wonder if I were to have shrunk the 480p image to 50" on the 65" OLED if it would have looked...
I've been on a 720p 50" Panasonic plasma for years now.
I am kinda old and have many TB's of media ranging from 480p to 1080p (and a few 2160p files). I've seriously considered jumping to a 65" OLED recently so I headed off to a local B&M with a flash drive containing everything from old B&W...
Got it done....mostly. The SSD is cloned. But it did come over as two partitions. OS and Data. Thinking I'll either merge them or resize them. Undecided. Time to also make a backup, then optimise the SSD, then update backup and wipe the HDD.
Thanks to all who advised.
I want to bother with cloning because I do not have Windows 10 to install on it if I wipe it out.
I'm still running 7 on my main rig along with a 'tweaked' 8.1 on a dual boot. No copy of 10. (Don't like the idea of not having complete control of my OS....and I want 10 to become mature before I...
Bought a 'refurb' off Amazon.
Problem is whoever owned it before me completely messed up the HDD's.
The 128GB m.2 is completely unallocated and the 1TB HDD is partitioned into OS and Data (There is also a small Recovery and a small UEFI on the spindle drive)....so multiple partitions
What I...
Pretty sure it's cause the money isn't there to develop it....or it's perceived to not be there.
I'm running a 5960x with multiple SSD's.....I know this is off topic slightly but any suggestions to maximize my ability to transcode x265? Either HW or software based?
Thanks for the explanation. I haven't had the need to follow graphics cards enhancements since the 8800GTS days. I'm a bit out of the loop.
Got excited to see scattered info claiming >400 FPS HEVC...and so began my thread hunt. Quality is almost everything. I know the speed issue will...
Interesting. Would you have any links to support that view?
I'm hoping that software developers would take advantage of the hardware to enhance the quality and speed of transcoding to HEVC.
The one site that I found that had a transcoding article used a GTX 260 with linux and the writer seems...
I've been searching for information on the best options to use a new graphics card for hardware 4k encoding. I can't find any comparisons.
Would anyone be able to steer me in the right direction to make a choice?
I do not game and only wish to have fast transcoding ability to x265.
Thanks SparkyJJO.
That changes things quite a bit. Think I may bump this thread in about six months and hope that's enough time for the license key process to be resolved
So that sinks it. Nice to know before I invest any effort into it. Win 10 upgrade is pretty much useless for me ( beyond a 'look/see') unless I'm ready to buy a retail copy the first time I upgrade after July 2016.
I'll stick with my free and supported 7 pro (till 2020) and who knows what...
Apologies if this has been answered. I have sincerely looked and cannot find it.
I have a retail copy of Windows 7pro. I use it on my PC that I rebuild every 18 months or so with a new motherboard, video card, cpu, etc.
On a retail OS (Win 7) I can legally reinstall and reuse my one...
Recently purchased some empty HDD enclosures (HGST Touro Desk Pro) that will only work in Advanced Format (AF) 4096-byte (4K) sector size. I have not used them yet.
Please excuse any incorrect terminology. I have no experience with AF HDD sectors and I am not technical ( so lay explanations...
You guys are something awful. Took to page 25 before I broke down and ordered this. Too cheap to ignore vs. rendering benefits. Now....what to do with my i7-920 DO.
Thanks everyone for clearing that up. I'll benchmark some to decide about leaving it off or on. Was trying to avoid that effort. Completely understand that reason why there is no software available to do this. Appreciated
Not sure where to place this question so mods please feel free to move it.
Hyper threading: I have it. I like it and I use it....just not all the time. I render and appreciate what it offers. But...we all know it raises temps and impacts - to varying degrees :) an overclock.
Question: Does...
Apologize for the hijack but don't see the value in starting a new thread since you have your answer and my question is related.
Curious because I am thinking about doing this upgrade to my i7- 920 DO x58.
If it was for a video rendering / transcoding rig....would that cost be worth it?? With...
1. It has not evolved the point where districts don't try and succeed in disenfranchising voters. See Florida.... And not just for 'hanging chads' but for their registration time limits as only one example from one State.
2. The constitution is a living document and will continue to evolve...
If you like to build and tinker - and this would likely trigger re-registration - do not get any OEM version of Vista or the OEM XP with 'upgrade coupons'.
OEM versions are still restricted to one build and are not transferable to any rebuild or upgrade on your single PC.
Stuck with...
Thanks for the input.
I guess what I'm finding frustrating and of concern isif you go SLI even these PSU's are not strong enough.... Y or N?
Which means this is a lot of money to spend on something that cannot be used on any future upgrade whim.
OK...
I have decided to upgrade.
I will be getting a quad core cpu. Either the K8L (means waiting) or the new Intel. I have used the calculators but to be honest the Amps/Rails have me more concerned than the wattage so I really would like some opinions.
I will be getting a...
