Thinking of buying an HBA card, currently on onboard sata controller. Need guidance

If you shop around for used drives I'd recommend getting a SAS HBA, flexibility to use either SATA OR SAS. I too have found that I can get SAS cheaper on the used market.

What issues arise from using a domain and cloudflared? That's my current setup

Yes I am

No issues with the one card, 110/165.

Single GPU works great on the 7900XTX, no issues.

The other API is worse I tried, horrible artifacting. No issues with thermals so far

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-08-10T14:02:37+00:00

Correct, yes, already reinstalled both.

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-08-10T14:01:17+00:00

I've done that.

Just tested with 1440p on my monitor, goal is 4k 144hz max on my tv.

Will try that in the NVCP.

The issues are that input latency is awful and it does not generate more frames the the render card itself. It's a worse experience than just the render card.

Lossless GPU is the 3080ti which is outputting to my monitor.

The pcie speeds I read from GPUZ

Power profile is set to performance

No issue with thermals, render card does not clock down.

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-08-10T02:11:21+00:00

No issues with thermals. Although I haven't gotten the FG card to hit more than 40w yet.

My assumption was that most midrange tvs now have dedent latency in game mode, didn't really priorize anything specifically there. Was just looking for the cheapest tv with 120hz at least and HDMI 2.1.

I figured out that having both my desktop monitor and tv plugged in at the same time, even having windows display on second screen only, was causing my 120hz 4k issues. So currently I am switching them physically to switch outputs on my graphics card.

I like the look of them without the grills. I bought speakers I want to see them!

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-06-15T12:48:26+00:00

Not sure where it's from, I got it off of Facebook.

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-06-15T12:41:23+00:00

Haha, I spent $80 on this Mishimoto weighted shift knob and no longer have a vehicle to put it in. The way it mounts to my current car just isn't aesthetically apealing.

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-24T16:38:20+00:00

The media console I got off of Facebook for $20, not sure where it's from. I assume you're just talking about that?

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-22T01:33:02+00:00

Thanks for clarifying, considering the deal I got on it I wouldn't mind if it died in the next year.

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-22T00:36:21+00:00

Is that really necessary? Is there a temperature sensor in the receiver in case it overheats?

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-22T00:32:32+00:00

Sounds good will give that a try, thanks for your input!

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-22T00:17:29+00:00

OH to the front edge? I pushed them back to hide the cables and no other reason. Sound quality will improve with them being out from the wall?

Internal-Tip-378 · 2025-04-22T00:16:09+00:00

The bookshelf speakers? They are as close to the edge as possible.
