I recently’ got a couple of second hand APC network management cards (un AP9617 et AP9630). Both had static IPs set (i.e. they didn’t get an address from DHCP) so in order to access their web interface I needed to locate them.

L'alimentation HTPC parfaite 2020?
J'ai récemment eu un nouveau GPU pour mon HTPC which required a replacement power supply as the old one wasn’t suitable for powering a GPU avec un 8 épingle PCIe câble d'alimentation. le HTPC is in use for an average of around 6 hours per day and with electricity at 15p/kWh any reduction in power at the wall works out at 33p a year per Watt. This isn’t a big saving, but if consumption is reduced by several watts the saving can add up.

Sleep and WOL with Intel 82567LM‑3
I have a couple of old USFF Dell Optiplex 760 PC that have a built-in Intel 82567LM‑3 gigabit ethernet connection. Getting this adapter to work with both Sleep (S3 Suspend to RAM) et SAL (Wake on LAN) est avérée très délicate. The PC originally came with Windows Vista and as a business class PC you’d expect these 2 features to work but it has always been a battle to get them working.

La recherche d'un bloc d'alimentation de serveur de stockage
I recently posted abiout my search for a new storage server case. My next search involves finding a suitable PSU! It seems in recent years it has got much harder to find the type of hardware I like to use, probably because the fashion has been to go smaller and sleeker which is generally more possible in this era of improved performance-per-watt devices. However, if you have space and you want systems to be cool, silencieux, and efficient then large is still the way to go.

La recherche d'un 12 bay 5.25″ full tower case
I have an original CoolerMaster Stacker case (STC-T01-UW) that I use for my server. Il est grand parce qu'il a 12 5.25″ external drive bays. Strictly speaking it has 11 utilisable comme 1 of them is taken up by the power button and front-usb module, but this can be modified if necesary. This spectacular case is great for fitting lots of HDDs for a storage array. My system currently has 10 regular size HDDs and 2 SSDs in it which fit easily with plenty of cooling. As I want to build a second server to migrate the older drives into I am looking for another case with equally impressive capacity…

Correction d'un Amazon Fire HD 8 lent
A couple of xmases ago I bought my better half an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet as she wanted a budget tablet to read books on at night, et jouer à des jeux android comme choc des clans. Le feu semblait une option idéale car elle lierait dans son compte Kindle sans tracas, et est également basé Android. It was also possible to get a good sized device within the price limit we set each other.

Fixing stability issues with Asus E35M1‑M Pro
La base de mon principal HTPC is an AMD E350 Brazos in the form of an Asus E35M1‑M Pro. I had quite a lot of problems with the system when I first built it, which were caused by issues with the Seagate Momentus XT storage drive I used. These were fixed a good while ago via firmware update from Seagate, and since then the system has largely worked without any issue.… Lire l'article complet

La fin de régulières baisses de prix de PC?
I regularly build PC pour les personnes, and have recently been looking at a high end spec for someone. I started, comme je le fais souvent, by looking at what I’d got for a high end system about a year ago, to see if it was worth moving up the the new generation, or if a substantial drop in the older spec made it tempting to repeat. In the past the year old system has always been substantially cheaper, so I was quite surprised to find that this time it wasn’t. … Lire l'article complet
