What about one of those little PC's that can mount to the back of the screen? I don't know what the proper term for them is.

Intel's version is called a Nuc and Gigibytes version is called Brix other companies make them too. They vary from slow to super fast. They cost more then your standard PC. If you buy the refurb I3 model from Nmicrovip you will have enough money left over for a SSD.

It's not us, it's the client using an older version of software that will only run properly at that resolution. The new version can run 1920x1080, which is what all the monitors we already own run at.

dont know if this is the right place to put this but..

has anyone ever installed an RJ45 Keystone Jack before?
pretty much, theres a router in the room on the other side of the house.
i drilled a hole in the wall, ran it outside, drilled a hole in my wall and ran it into my room.
then, usually it'd directly go into my computer.
however i own a rabbit, and if it can get it's hands on wires, it'll chew right thru it.
so i've been splicing wires and connecting them again for the last however long i've had my rabbit.

i thought it'd be smart to create a keystone jack, so in theory, i would just have to change ethernet cables when need be, and the original would never come near my rabbit.

i've tried only a tool-less keystone jack that i got from RP electronics, however it just doesnt work. I've used both 568A and 568B pinouts, i've tried matching it to my ethernet cable.

I have a regular keystone jack, that needs a punch tool. but i currently do not own a punch tool.

Does anyone know where im going wrong ?

In theory, as long as the pinouts are fine, it should be ok. You can use a flat head screwdriver to do the punch down if you don't have the tool.

If I'm picturing the situation properly, I think the better solution is to just use a RJ45 wall plate (simpler and looks nicer). Simply run a regular straight-through cable from the router to the wall plate through the walls, and then connect your PC to the outlet.

which pin outs should i be using?

in this case let lower case letters represent the color + white

i've tried...

o O g B b G br BR
o O b B g G br BR
g G b B o O br BR

I do have a RJ45 wall plate, i wanted to set up the RJ45 keystone jack in case my rabbit ever does get to it, so i can just replace the ethernet cable running from my pc to the wall. not the ethernet cable that runs about 30 feet from the other side of the house to my room..

edit : do they sell keystone jacks with an ethernet connector on the other end? LOL

Just buy this.

https://www.amazon.ca/Female-Etherne...hernet+coupler

https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Network...hernet+coupler

You could use some hot glue to mount it to the plate.

Are you only doing this to one end of the cable? You need to match the format of the other end.

Maybe I'm retarded, but why would he need a jack if he has a plate in the wall already?

pretty much you will need this

100-401 | Blank Wall Plate - 1 Port

and

100-509A | Keystone RJ45 Jack - CAT5E, White (110 Punchdown)
if you are using cat5e cable
or

100-519A | Keystone RJ45 Jack - CAT6, White (110 Punchdown)

if you are using cat6 or outdoor cable.

and this

https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.1...000162142.html

to hold it the plate to the wall

Very minimal, it's just a refresh. Better yields should equal lower temperatures and higher clocks.

If you have an existing RX 470/480, you can overclock it to reach roughly the same performance.

welp...little stuck on the idea of getting I5-7400 or waiting for reviews on AMD's Ryzen 5 on under $1200 build...i was looking at amd 480 8gb since the price dropped to $310 or i was gonna bite the bullet for 1070 GTX and match that with my 144hz monitor i already have sitting.


Hmmmm

I don't have windows recovering media on hand.
popped it in another system with same config and it worked without changing any settings

^ If that's the case, I'm pretty sure you're missing the drive controller drivers for the different hardware.

Congrats on the Samsung 960 Pro. I have the 512 GB version, and it's damn fast... Actually, I'm running them in RAID 0.

Do you have the Dell XPS 13/15?

Check for a BIOS update and try changing between ACHI/RAID mode.

It should work considering the SM961 comes standard with some 15s.

Latitude 7275 which is a rebranded XPS 12

both systems came with NVMe SSD with the same specs as the 960 Pro...one was a Toshiba (with zero info online) and one was a PM961

the one that originally had the Toshiba would not boot the 960 Pro
the one that originally had the PM961 (OEM variant of the 960 Evo) worked

but now under boot sequence I don't see Windows Boot Manager (default settings had it listed as first priority, then PM961 second), now I only see UEFI: 960 Pro Partition 2 as the only option. Should I ignore this or will it hamper performance somehow?

Windows Boot Manager is required to get into Windows. That should be the default boot option after Windows is set up.

Plug the 960 into the laptop, get it to display in the BIOS, change the boot device to your installation media and reinstall Windows. Windows installer may ask for a driver to detect it, so have a copy of it handy (if it is required).

to hold it the plate to the wall
While better to have, cutting out the drywall and putting on re-work mudring is probably beyond the ability of most people. It's easier to just mount the wall plate directly onto the drywall. Use some plastic anchors if you're worried about it ripping out.

It's actually pretty easy to install the low voltage bracket.
