Gotta pay for healthcare somehow
if I get a 5 pack fan for desktop so I put 2 in front, 3 top
how many fan headers do I need for my mobo to have?
5 fan headers?
You can get adapters to plug them to sata or molex
With lo and high speed options
but they will run fixed speed
if you want to monitor speed or controll speed you will need to plug them into the board
and you need 1 header per fan generally
oh
so after searching, it seems I need to get fan controller
My family berated me for paying $112 for one. You can definitely get good ones under that price point but hey, it’s your money
If you want to control the fan speed, otherwise you can just use simple passive adapters
There are also PWM splitters to allow you to control multiple fans (say the top three fans) with one motherboard fan header.
My fans are old enough where its just a molex power and a 3 speed selector switch on the fan
Do I have to worry about how much watt the two fan headers on the board can give?
The case I want comes with two 140mm fans. Each on the front and back.
I want to put 2x 120mm on front
3x 120mm on top
1x 140mm on back
The 1x 140mm and 3x 120mm on top will be using one fan header
The front 2x 120mm will use the last fan header.
Should I figure out if the mobo's two fan headers can power them?
If you're running more than two fans off a single header, you may look into a powered splitter rather than passive.
Okay that makes sense
Apparently it will lock up during boot if you do
How many computers do you have running right now? Also, you using them in any kind of cluster?
For now just 1 they all work except for the 2 newer laptops. Weirdly the 2 windows 98 ones work fine
And no I'm not using them in a cluster. One day I hope to have a lan going for gaming
Is this an internal hard drive that you're using with the Xbox or an external using over someone like USB? Well I personally have never had an Xbox, I know a friend who replaced the internal drive and his Xbox had a proprietary file system and partitioning that was very difficult to replicate without causing endless problems.
I haven't, do you know how that is different from antivirus or malwarebytes?
not sure tbh
the guy who recommended it to me uses both malwarebytes and DWS, so there must be some difference
Been a while since I used XBox but im pretty sure it supports external storage
I would try letting XBOX format it
then taking the drive over to linux and use something like gparted to shrink the storage partition xbox created
and then creating a partition for windows storage after
I know thats why I tried to parition it
That may work as long as the Xbox logically fills its partition and sequential order rather than randomly. Also, if you do shrink, shrink from the end not the beginning. considering the Xbox expects it to be the only thing on the drive, I imagine it will start at the beginning of the drive when looking for a partition.
Yes forgot to mention shrink from the end. Also I would try to plugging the HD into the Xbox after srhinking to make sure it recognizes the new partition size
If it reads the new partition size correctly you're better off than it thinking the partition is 2TB when it's actually only 1.3TB
If it reads 2TB I wouldn't even continue
Actually doing some reading
with XBox One it looks like that method wont work as the filesystem is proprietary to prevent piracy
