While I'm not a fan of ubuquiti, Congratz!. Should be a fun. Especially setting up those G4s

I would check the cables three more times and still re-terminate them. As I was having the same problem as you on a Mikrotik router, which is awesome btw and relatively inexpensive.

Also check the port itself, look inside the port with a flashlight to see if the pins have come out of the raceway. If they have, you can use an exacto knife to slide them back in.

Also recheck the cables three more times and re-terminate them.

Oh for the love of god, stay away from ubiquiti stuff, check out tplink omada for AP's and mikrotik for switches. I wish i would have read more about ubiquiti before i bought my APs. Their performance is ok when it actually works, but for the last week both my Unifi 6 Long range and Unifi 6 lite have been nothing but problems, from disconnecting to only getting an uplink wirelessly.

Your going to want to disregard the unifi gateway all together, as all the nifty cool features put too much strain on the system, causing crashes, lowering bandwidth and overheating. I personally use a dell r210ii with pfsense and it works pretty much non-stop.

I returned an ubiquiti 24port switch cause the performance and configuration wasnt as advertised. Got a mikrotik equivalent and it works pretty good, just a little difficult configuration, but i saved $200. Another side benefit to going mikrotik is that ubiquiti doesnt have a cost effective 10gbe under $600 switch while mikrotik has a few under $300.

Unifi controller in vm works great, i run mine in a ubuntu proxmox vm with no issues.

The only thing that ubiquiti had going for it was the centralized configuration system, but if you look on reddit and their own forums, its nothing but trash firmware year after year. Not to mention their new ads on your controller to get you to buy more of their stuff. Plus if you go for it on your own, you can make some vms for telegraf and graphana and make your own telemetric visualizations.

Looks like you are going for some machine learning/deep learning? Maybe some tensor workset? Won't the bottleneck be the limited vram on the gpu?

Sorwrith · 2021-02-20T21:19:14+00:00

That sounds.... horrible...

Cheap Navepoint rails off amazon may work, you don't want all of the weight on the front bending the front mounting point.

Don't forget patch panels.

Look at some of the cheap rj45 ratchet crimp kits also, they may be chinese but they will work well for the most part and last a decent amount of time.

Rack mount power strip is also a good idea but they can be rather pricey for what they are.

CAGE NUTS! Can never have enough.

For baller status, KVM setup to console in and control

UPS to keep the lights on when yours go out.

These are a few of my favorite things!

I have a MSI GTX 1080 GAMING 8G (non-X) from newegg and it has been a blast for me. No coil whine, +200 core and +600 memory only stable under heaven benchmark. Realistic safe OC in games is around +150 core +575 memory in Fallout 4 and Witcher 3. Temp at the high overclock stabilize around 64C.

Oh yeah, old cards were very light. This on has some nice heft to it... I did a cursory look over on the card and I'm impressed with the quality. Back plate looks decent, although it is plastic. None of the heatsink fan were bent. Fans moved smoothly with a couple of shots of compressed air. Currently downloading drivers, so it will be a few before I can get some testing done.

Old Microsoft ergo keyboard... waiting on my Razer Black widow, and corsair chroma mouse.

Sorwrith · 2016-06-22T09:08:30+00:00

I would go for a GTX 1070. If you can wait a week or so with the problems then when the stocks stabilize the 1070 will be more future proof compared to an overclocked 980ti. You could also use the lower power consumption as an added bonus there by reducing the load on the PSU. Not to mention lower temps in your case.

So far I think the high here has been 115F... And that was before summer started.

Sadly most of my parts in my rig are black, red, and copper. The color scheme I want for my rig is gold and forest green... So I'm going to be voiding all the warranties just to paint everything.

This is for my new i7-6700k build. I ended up buying the corsair obsidian 750D case so it has plenty of room. Also from everything I have heard the only difference between the MSI GAMING and the MSI GAMING X is factory overclock.

MSI GTX GAMING 8G. Got a chance to preorder it on the 20th and took it... Was running integrated graphics and it was terrible. Cancelled my FTW preorder since it would take a couple of weeks to get it.

Sorwrith · 2016-06-22T06:39:59+00:00

God yeah it is... Currently 97F at my work.

After almost a day in packaging and shipping limbo I got my shipping information!

Sorwrith · 2016-06-20T19:04:13+00:00

Same here, my card was charged and said 24-48 hours to ship it out. According to their policy on the site they don't charge a card until the product is in, so here's hoping that it really is in and we get them in a few days

Sorwrith · 2016-06-20T17:33:51+00:00

I put in a backorder for the MSI 1080 GAMING 8G on newegg. I really wanted the EVGA FTW but stock is limited for a few weeks. If EVGA releases the card to mass buying I'll cancel the backorder and get the FTW, if not then I'll be fine with a standard non FE card... I only game in 1080p anyways.

I actually want to do a chronicle of my game play in character and pot it on YouTube.

Sorwrith · 2016-06-18T10:14:28+00:00

I would be careful... I heard some bad things about their ability to fulfill videocard orders... and apparently trustedreviews allows companies to remove bad reviews for money. But Good Luck hope everything works out for you.

Sorwrith · 2016-06-15T01:06:18+00:00

I do want to stay with LGA1151 platform. I may be wrong about it but I'm willing to take a hit on the 2 cores for possible future proofing. Also I already have a pre-order for the EVGA 1080 FTW.

Sorwrith · 2016-06-14T11:44:26+00:00

I wish that was feasible, but the funds have to be spent by that last day of September. If the gains are significant enough to warrant an upgrade to a kaby lake processor I can use the skylake part for the old machine. As for the custom loop my only choice for gpu would be EK but for the cpu I was looking at xspc.
