Peoples put to much faith and stock in pc's and their manufacturers at large. Like cocaine, you get addicted and would choose cocaine over food.

Modern computers have just become an excuse for piss poor business practices, governmental infringement. Our society is no smarter or better regulated due to pc's. In fact we are more vulnerable to attack from within, corruption is easier, organized crime is more organized..................

Actually, the idea of using bitlocker and a tpm module is to make it harder to recover data from a drive that has been stolen. Professionally recover data? I wouldn't bother. A thief can get a HDD out of a case in less than ten seconds and be gone. Without the passcode and the tpm module a thief has zero chance of getting to the data. The data might not be so important (isn't to me if I don't have it backed up which the important stuff is), but if your identity is important to you then maybe you should think about it. It's not the only measure you can take, but it can be a big part of your security if you put some thought behind it.

by using a multi disk RAID setup, this helps with stolen disc's. They would have to take'em all, reconfigure it right..........

I have stacks of hard drives (remember 60 and 100 GB drives?) that have died over the years. I started using bitlocker to avoid the concern with just tossing a HDD into the bin after they die. If the drive is still functional you can always wipe it, but not so if it dies. In Mr. Robot they drill a hole in the drive? Now that's paranoia!

[MADe]

lol

I got a ram question.
Intel 6850e cpu documents, it works with 2400MHz DDR4 ram.
The mobo lists 2133MHz DDR4 ram with the ability to OC thru 3300MHz.

What do these differences really mean?
It seems ultimately I would end up with the highest stable OC I can get, neither of which would be 2400 or 2133.

I used an old bunch of drives to make a TESLA turbine, air. he hhe

As I said, if there's really valuable data on the disk bitlocking makes sense. As for identity theft, I would be more concerned in saved passwords. Even that wouldn't be a big issue, changing the passwords should do the trick. Further, our online banking systems seem to be much safer than what I've learned them to be in some other countries. Even if a thief had access to the user name and password, he can't do any harm without the list of security codes. My bank provides a list of 300 four-digit codes which are asked in random order. When the list has been gone through, another list has to be activated. And even if the villain could somehow guess the first one, any transactions have to be confirmed by another code from that list. So, the crook has to be both fast and clever to make me any serious harm.

[Chalenge]

Yeah, never save passwords. I stopped that a long time ago. I use LastPass, which used to be and probably still is the best method.

@MADe: I believe the QVL of memory for your system is part of your manual for that motherboard. If the manufacturer cannot get a fully populated DIMM to run stable then it will not be listed in the QVL. I usually choose to go for the most memory that I can fine in the QVL list. I have fully populated the DIMMs of only two or three MBs, and then only for a short period of time. The stability it just not there. So, if ASRock lists a memory set on the QVL that runs at 2667 and offers 32GB and there is no greater amount then that is what I would go with. The CPU might list a maximum speed of 2133 on the Intel site, but once you load the XMP profile it will clock higher and run stable.

NOTE: I did not look up the actual numbers, so you still need to do that research.

[MADe]

Man o man I have acquired a pile of parts, still cannot decide on OS.............. I guess the OS I need, is VR, NewHardware and AH111 best compatibility choice.

[MADe]

the build is reality

ASROCK X99 Taichi
INTEL i76850
OCZ RD400/400A 256GB
HYPER X 3000MHz 16GB
GIGABYTE 1070G1
SEASONIC 750W Titanium
COOLERMASTER HAF932
CORSAIR H100iGTX
W7 Ultimate/64

I saw that first picture and I thought you were really working the wire management, but no. . . second picture says otherwise.

I bet it screams though.

[MADe]

this was with que depth set to 6, cpu has 6 cores

OCZ RD400/400A

WILL POST UP OTHER TEST RESULTS.

guess I ready for vr

ur so critical....
 case wire is easy to deal, but the psu stuff needs to float a bit till things are solidified. I do like the modular cabling, just dump what you do not need. With the nvme drive and 1 vid card, whole lot less. Last step is to add in an old sata2 ssd as a pagefile drive.
I'm gonna turn off everything and make it a dedicated AH PC!

I'd like to hear your take on how that I7 6850K CPU works out once you've run it around the block a couple of times............

after much gyration and abject failure, I failed to get w 7 EFI installed on my new rig. I could get an MBR setup but it was not right some how.
I spent hours, multiple searches, uefi boot sticks yada yada yada.

Today I installed w10. 30min, done. Has UEFI install and so far appears to be functioning better than it was.
The ATTO report is pushing the rated read/writes advertised for the RD400 ULTRA M.2.

All drivers installed, and got the game installed. Everything works. knock on wood!

Why would the install of 3 place the DX9 shortcut and not the DX11 one on desktop?
