from the reviews I've read, the heatsink for this Patriot card is very hard to remove.
I'm thinking:
a razor to "slice" off the heatsink from the thermal pad
or a heatgun to "soften" up the pad and then maybe a razor
suggestions/thoughts? thanks
PS: I want to use the nvme heatsinks that...
so I bought a Thermaltake Level 20 GT case over the weekend and I've been bitten by the RGB bug. I'm a long time home PC builder (around 25 years) and I have always been intrigued (and wanted to try) with PC lighting.
The case comes with:
2x Thermaltake Riing+ 20cm fans which uses connector...

HP Z820 desktop with 2 SATA ports (from Intel chipset) + 4 SCU SATA ports (from chipset and unused) + 8 SATA ports from an LSI chip (I got no idea what SCU means)

I found a good price for these 2 boards.
Gigabyte at around $170 USD in local currency
$150 USD (again in local currency) for the Asrock
These are at the cheapest/cheaper end of the Z490 that's available locally. I have a limited budget hence looking for good/great value boards. There are...
So I found this WD link (https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15954).
My drive has no shroud so the normal cables don't latched. The page I linked talked about using a cable with an "internal bump" but not sure for to search for those.
Can you help? Thanks
I've followed/looked at several guides (like this one) and the netplan example page on how to do the above.
My problem is that no static IP is getting assigned to the built-in ethernet port. I have run netplan apply
several times. I've also rebooted the PC and still no luck.
I am sure the...
How to sort (alphabetically) pinned apps on KDE5.11.x/plasma?
I tried rearranging it manually but it doesn't work. I looked at the taskbar/panel settings and it doesn't work either.
The distro is based on Ubuntu xenial. In fact sources.list is the same as my Ubuntu setup. When I try to install ZFS via the normal Ubuntu way (sudo apt install ZFS), there's no zfs.ko.
Can you please help? Thanks
ps. I get the same issue of my laptop (HP 8640p or using virtualbox)
edit:

I didn't pin anything else other than the 3rd part repo. perhaps it's pinned "behind the scenes".
My workaround is to put my repo entries at the top of /etc/apt/sources.list and delete mrjayviper.list
So I have a custom repo here which I added by creating a mrjayviper.list file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
deb https://download.hosting.com/mrjayviper/deb all main
deb https://download.hosting.com/mrjayviper/deb xenial main
I then created this file /etc/apt/preferences with the following...
So I want to install the proprietary drivers for my GTX770 and I found conflicting information.
I found this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Ubuntu_14.04_and_up) official Ubuntu page and it seems to me it uses Nvidia drivers that are provided by Ubuntu. I'm guessing...
I haven't had experience before with server setup but when using a desktop CPU, I haven't had any issues pairing any sort of RAM (even RAM not listed in the motherboard's official compatibility list).
Should I have the same expectation when it comes to the CPUs above? I'll be using server grade...
I have a dual 2011 (2650L V1. 8 cores@1.8ghz) on its way. I got the setup for around $400 be including 64GB RAM.
but I have an opportunity to buy a dual 1366 setup (E5645 6 cores@2.4ghz) for less $100. This includes 48GB RAM.
Is there a significant performance advantage of the 2011 setup? I...
so I have an Intel 520 m.2 card. It's my OS disk. I am currently using an m.2-to-SATA adapter so I can connect it to my Intel X58 motherboard.
I want to connect it an m.2-to-PCIe adapter so I can free up a SATA port for more storage (RAID).
This is the description for the m.2-to-PCIe adapter...
On latest/recent firmware, can I use a PCIe SSD (using m.2-to-PCIe adapter) as my OS drive?
What kind of m.2 would work? From what I've read there are 2 m.2 ssds available. One is NVMe and another type is AHCI compatible. Which one would work?
Thanks a lot
So I've been looking at server board and I often see some of them having a SAS connector. Base on my previous experience with SAS (Dell Perc6i), I can connect a SAS-to-4xSATA cable so I can use normal drives.
Is this true for all SAS connectors or perhaps these are limited to certain...
So I just found ECC RAM are extremely cheap. But the cheap ones I found comes in 6x4GB sets.
Is it possible to buy 18 sticks and then just get 16 out of the 18 sticks to be installed on the board?
All the sticks will have the same markings/model number/timings. Like RAM makers sell RAM sticks...
So I have a dual port gigabit Ethernet card and I want to setup their IPs via a batch script.
I have used this and it works at the time I first wrote it.

I guess my question is: do I need to have upgraded my windows 7 to 10...
Shouldn't this be taken care of DVDFab?
Windows Explorer can't recognize any Blu-ray discs. I had the impression that a Blu-Ray disc would at least show up on Windows Explorer?
My drive uses SATA connectors. I don't think that requires extra drivers. Perhaps I would need a specialized app like...
as title.
I've tried several Blu-Ray titles and none of them worked. I tried the same discs on the PS3 and no issues playing them.
I also tried DVD discs on the Blu-Ray drive and I had no problems with them.
I downloaded a trial copy of DVDFab and also VLC on the desktop to test the Blu-Ray...
