    Future worries include the backup software that was in use and a likely replacement called "Cobian" - as well as how we can backup the "Active Directory" as well,

    Server help (raid died)

    That was my sugestion. I will need an backup if I continue with one server. The latest blurb I've recieved: “In theory we can reuse the old server, but need to double check if we need to replace any parts in it. It may be that it is not useable or to replace the components it is not cost...

    Server help (raid died)

    Hi all, I’m looking for some advice and guidance as we contract ‘in’ a local IT company to sort IT issues. Recently the server: had a single raid HDD failure, but when the ‘new’ HDD was put in to rebuild, it seems the Domain Controller (catalogue of all PCs and users accounts) also packed in…...

    Minimum RAM speed for a Ryzen build?

    I went for a minimum of DDR4-3200. This was taking into account current price vs performance. That said, it only ran at the rated speed a few weeks ago - due to a BIOS update for my MSI Tomahawk B350 mobo.

    Can I recycle any of this Hardware???

    If on a gaming budget, go for a Ryzen 1600 ( £150). The Ryzen prices should be coming down over the next few weeks. B350 mobos are about £80 but DDR4-3200 is going to about £160

    Minimum RAM speed for a Ryzen build?

    For Ryzen you need 3200mhz. I've run into problems with rated DDR4-3200 not being compatible with motherboards tho. Hopefully BIOS updates can sort this out...

    Upgrade help (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T & MSI 770) OR should I buy a new build?

    Update 1: It seems the new BIOS update also lets me run the DDR4 @ 32000mhz too! Update 2: I've bought a Adata XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280 SSD @ £70.13 and it's nown installed:

    Which of these cheap SSDs would you trust?

    I've just got a 'Adata XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280 SSD' and it's flying! Great purchase so far.

    Upgrade help (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T & MSI 770) OR should I buy a new build?

    Soc = 1.1v I'm thinking I should stick to a stable mhz (i.e. 3066mhz) and get the CAS down instead. I'd get just as much performance out of it via this road. My best (stable) 3066mhz effort so far:

    Upgrade help (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T & MSI 770) OR should I buy a new build?

    I 'almost' thought I'd cracked 3200 mhz (3198 mhz): I achieved the above by upping the DDR's V-Core. I'm currently on 1.440v and may push onto 1.490v next ... but I'm getting cold feet! I have no idea what's safe?

    I've been playing about a bit more and can't get 3200mhz to boot. I've started to increase the voltage, but have no idea what's safe - so being conservative.

    For anyone interested, I've now decided on the following balanced build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600x HSF: I've got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo that should fit the above. The cooler will need an AM4 mounting bracket though, as the AM3 won't work! However, CM will supply one for free...
