DOS76 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Going With EaseUS I at least know how that works and have used it successfully more times than I would like to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Shit I haven't looked at my server since yesterday. I know when I left for school last night there was about an hour left after EaseUs had been running for 25 hours. On another note when I started out on this build I mistakenly ordered DDR4 and a DDR3 board. I had every intention of returning the other board but I had 16 GB of DDR3, a power supply and a graphic card that I was going to install in a older desktop with an i5 650 (1st gen) I was then going to replace my basement HTPC (Asus laptop) with this older tower. Returning the board would cost me $35 in restocking fees and I would hate to spend the money and get nothing in return plus the Graphics Card would have been wasted on a i5 650 so instead I decided to buy another core i5 6500 and do another build bought this case because I wanted a horizontal tower to sit under my TV and it came with a PSU so I still have another one for the next build (I swear it will be at least 2 years from before I get/build a new PC). I hit one snag though the case won't close on the top because of the graphics card power connector which is so pissing me off right now. I think I have a solution but I hate when the monkeys throw wrenches at my best laid plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ah, sure. That sucks. I've never built anything with that form factor because I've been afraid of stuff like that. You should Frankenstein it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have 2 750 TI's one is long with the power connector the other short without the connector swapped them out real quick. The new build turns on and stays on so that's a plus now I have to hook it up to a display and see what we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Success!! The 6th gen CPU's temps are so low I'm idling around 15C which I think is around the same temp I was getting on my other build to. Drive recovery is looking good too found 1.98TB partition.

newyears1978 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Cool present. That beats what I got which is SD2SNES, but I was happy with that. Never been big on presents as long as the kids and wife are happy. Stinks about the hard drive, but glad you got it recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Do you ever ask yourself, "Why can't things ever be simple?" I ask myself that weekly, at least, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Agreed, Stimpy. I tend to throw/give away too much and regret it later just because I don't want the extra clutter. I'd be happy to live in just my office if I didn't need the rest of my house for my kids. Then I wouldn't have to clean it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Cadet Stimpy said Although I've also been loyal to AMD, if they don't step-up their game soon, I may have to defect to Intel. Whoa, it looks as if AMD is stepping-up their game, so I might not have to defect to Intel after-all! Zen Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah, AMD and Intel performance-wise are always back and forth, neck and neck. Can't forget that AMD was the first to offer 64-bit, so they're innovative as well. It's only been stability that has been the defining factor for me...which is silly, because I doubt it ever has much at all to do with the CPU; it's more the chipsets and the drivers. But it's always seemed that Intel boards are significantly more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
