    Rampage V Extreme CPU fan header and D5 pump not working.

    PWM was too low by default. I turned it up and it works great now. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Rampage V Extreme CPU fan header and D5 pump not working.

    Thanks guys. I'll try to disable Q-Fan on those headers and will report back. Also, the pump gets power from a molex plug and only gives the motherboard RPM signal via the fan header.

    Rampage V Extreme CPU fan header and D5 pump not working.

    Hi everyone, I have the Rampage V Extreme and two EK D5 PWM pumps. The issue I have is that when I plug either D5 pump into the CPU or CPU OPT fan header, the pump does not spin, it goes down to 0%. When I plug the pump into a chassis fan header, the pump runs at it should and goes to 100%...

    Which ZFS layout would you use for the following, and why?

    a = I don't need it to be all in one zpool, and the more I thought about it the more it sounds like a bad idea as two large vdevs will be unwieldy b = Seagate Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive. I have been collecting them for the last...

    Hardware 24 drive bay case 4TB drives, all same make/model/etc. Possible ZFS configurations, arranged by number of disks 20 disks raidz2 = 1 zpool, 2 vdevs of 10 disks, 2 can fail per vdev, 4 can fail in total 32TB per vdev, 64TB total usable, 20% of total drives can fail 22 disks raidz3 = 1...

    Critique my FreeNAS build list, please.

    NAS, SAN, and iSCSI targets in my home. It will host my media via CIFS and also be used with an iSCSI target as a datastore for my ESXi home lab.

    [SOLVED] Anybody using Intel HD 4600 successfully?

    I have been using it and it's working well. I put together a new rig and am waiting for the new AMD cards before I buy and it's able to run quite a few games around 30FPS at minimum details at 1920x1080. Not too bad really considering what it is.

    Intel Z68 (particularly ASUS P8Z68-M Pro): How is onboard DXVA performance with XBMC?

    It appears to be very difficult to find reviews where there is mention of the onboard DXVA performance of an Intel Z68 based motherboard. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on DXVA performance numbers on the Intel Z68 boards, or knew of a review that had some info. I would be using an...
