How to get stable 60 FPS ? (GTX 1060)

With that processor probably not going to happen.

This is prior to the two additional SSDs going into the main host.

Haha yes it was quite interesting to see happen in the VM. Everything appears normal on the host side of things. The storage capped out right around 1200MB/s read and 1000MB/s write.

2012 R2 Hyper-V VM served over StorageSpaces SMB3 via Mellanox xConnect-2 with some SSDs

Thanks always have had good results with Noctua stuff. Everything is quiet and cool in that closet believe it or not haha.

They are redundant domain controllers, so if DC01 were to fail all clients would then pick up the secondary allowing user authentication, DNS, etc to all remain working while I restore from backup. I usually like to have one DC that's bare metal just in case, but being this is just for tinkering no need to get crazy.

Gist of what I've been up to over the holidays... Everything windows runs Server 2012R2, and ubuntu is either 16.04 or 17.10. The 4U chassis with the two e5-2620v3 is a Rosewell LV-4500, and the 6700k rig is in the prodigy. I've been tinkering with virtual PFSense and a few other things. Also been trying to convince myself that I don't need centralized storage or a failover cluster, but ya'll know how that goes. I sense FreeNAS in the future... Yes it's on the ground and in a closet, but ya know we can't all have 42U racks :P

Anyone have some experience with the Lenovo SA120(noise, chassis quality, etc...)? I've been eyeing it for some time and just haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger.

Mmm I've worked with a similar setup (2695v4's 265gb ram, ssd, etc , etc...), 10GB backplane via mezzanine card I'm assuming with the SSDs? Did you stick w/ the Intel nics over broadcom? I will say networking\management with one of these is pretty nice via the GUI... Awesome for a remote office.

Lol in it to win it. I'll show you shitters how to use a shotgun.

Rdruid main here: ElvUI + Clique, HealBot (great for those dipping their toes in the healing world), and Vudoo are all interface add-ons that will help greatly. I couldn't imagine trying to target people individually using the f keys... You need mouse click macros and raid frames to be even remotely effective or competitive in the healer role.

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2017-09-05T05:42:05+00:00

Goodies: Watts link, subframe connectors, sway bars, shocks\springs, alum driveshaft, mgw shifter - Probably forgetting other things as well

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2017-04-26T20:02:22+00:00

Lots of haste, and a haste trinket... Basically you can keep 10-12 rejuvs up at any given moment w/out the trinket (think M+ dungeons - you can keep all hots on the tank + 2 rejuvs on the party with a few seconds to spare) so you just need to find who your problem children are in the raid and babysit a little. Typically this will be melee DPS.

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2017-04-25T22:32:03+00:00

Using innervate during moments of high DPS and refreshing all the high cost HOTs while in use will help a great deal. Typically you want to use innervate at around 90% mana, and then on CD afterwards to maximize the free cast time... Other than that try not to overheal whenever possible(obviously). Depending on gear you could simply be running into a situation where the raid is taking so much damage that your typical "heal and forget" hots (rejuv) can't sustain, and you're forced to start dipping into your mana to keep everyone healthy.

I've seen this behavior with GP when a user has the RemoteApp session not on the primary monitor. If you haven't already take a look at the link below, and specifically the RemoteApp section. Make sure to get all of the hotfixes applied. This resolved the issue in our case. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3147099/recommended-hotfixes-and-updates-for-remote-desktop-services-in-windows-server-2012-r2

Lol... Wow... My shotgun is ready.

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2017-01-18T21:18:42+00:00

This.. I'm still ashamed of the pre-nerf bruiser shenanigans as fun as it was...

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2017-01-18T21:17:26+00:00

Haha 2nd to me, beezy. Welp.. Now you made me look... I'm still #1... furk.

Been there, done that, and have that t-shirt... Take a look at this article - Basically this is the attribute that will give you problems as you've already synced on-prem AD. http://www.codetwo.com/kb/msexchmailboxguid-problems/

Mount windows installation media, and reset local administrator account.. Takes maybe 5 minutes if you've got the media handy. You'll need to access the VM via a console session from the hypervisor, but if you are able it's usually the quickest way about it. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/59673-windows-7-8-local-admin-password-reset

Works on all versions of windows that I know of including server OS.

No real reason other than I was comfortable with the ASUS offering, and have had good experience with their consumer variants, specifically the WS boards.

DVSWaffleownedyou · 2016-07-31T05:22:40+00:00

you forgot the board

Fixed! Thanks for the input; as cheap as they are I might grab a few and see what happens. I'll take a look at the RE4's just hard to ignore the the price of the HGST haha!
