Get it with a 6400 or something for more AMD points

You could probably find one for a similar price(?)

1:1 on that board is sacrilege

i’m gonna let it warm up before i do anything with it

but i’ll have booted in like an hour or so probably

i’ll probably grab the one from the x870 tomahawk since that board is broken

I'm a bad price reference but I'd say like $550-600

vocal plume

Thats a lot of mobo

turbid locust
#

this might be the craziest question I’ve asked here but

vocal plume
turbid locust
#

You guys floss before you brush or brush before you floss?

vocal plume
turbid locust
#

Cause my whole life I’ve flossed after I brushed right

#

But the other day I accidentally flossed before I brushed

#

And my teeth had never felt cleaner

#

So I’ve been doing it for like the past week or so and had good results

shell void
#

floss - brush - tongue scrape

vocal plume
#

Flossing gets the big chunks out from between

turbid locust
#

Was I just doing it wrong this whole time

22 years on this planet and it never occurred to me until a week ago

shell void
#

i cannot lie i rarely floss

#

only really if i feel something stuck in my teeth

wise bear
#

I've.. never flossed except before going to the dentist

#

I just brush really, really good

Hello. Is it bad to buy a MDM locked macbook? (Is it possible to bypass) not know much about it but seen a cheap one on ebay so asking...

turbid locust
#

wtf is MDM

frank zealot

I floss like every other day I think

frank zealot

Ahh okay thanks!

only one way to find out

it’s so 2024

it’s 2026 we’re all using the 9850X3D

if you use a 9800X3D still you are poor

shell void
#

yeah pretty much

turbid locust
#

I might buy a 50 refresh if they’re actually worth

steel stream
#

7800X3D is practically a relic from the stone age

turbid locust

Otherwise Zen 6 or bust

I’m probably gonna daily ARL till zen 6

Unless ARL-R is cool

I don't have a ton of cache and my box is fineeeee

yeah I would say no cache is probs fine

hmmm okie sounds good

what code is memory training

merry stirrup

i dont remember, when the board isnt displaying

pure garnet

judging by seeing the same numbers over and over it ain’t doing 8000

@merry stirrup damnit

The one that has all the io ports you'd like. With heatsinks on the board preferably

Woo - USPS is ahead of schedule, my 9950X3D build could be back together tomorrow

livid flame

CAD is what I call toy dollars

#

And AUD is what I call pretend dollars

floral spear
#

Stick to B650 or go for x870?

livid flame
#

You need to compare to those great British pounds. It’s such a great currency, it’s in the name

edgy laurel
livid flame
#

I’d rather flex my b650 than an x870 I don’t use fully

floral spear
#

Just bomb ass wifi and reliability

edgy laurel
#

then the chipset has nothing to do with it

#

just buy a good board and get lucky

white sphinx

#

That’s probably the worst reason I’ve heard to go x870

if anything, current gen B series is B850

What’s your current motherboard

And what does it not do for you

You can jut buy a PCIe adapter with a stand alone antenna

Just get something like that

floral spear
#

I did

#

Actual same model too, bad speeds compared to mobo

livid flame
#

So what’s wrong with the motherboard

#

I’m confused

green marsh
#

that is what manual says 🤷‍♂️

floral spear
#

I broke the wifi coax thing and I am not smart enough to fix it

hoary hatch
floral spear
edgy laurel
green marsh
#

it's literally the same chip everywhere, and if "bad speeds compared to motherboard", then issue is somewhere else

#

as 90% of boards just uses AX200 or 210

edgy laurel
#

i dunno, realtek and mediatek have gained strong footholds

#

don't even get me started on cheaper Gigabyte boards

hoary hatch
floral spear
#

I haven't really removed the motherboard WiFi but I have just been using the aftermarket PCIE one for months

hoary hatch
#

I think it's worth a try to remove the original one and retest the speeds with only the aftermarket connected

pure garnet
#

did you update the wifi driver

hoary hatch
#

Also do you know if you're running 2.4ghz or 5ghz

livid flame
#

What is low speeds?

edgy laurel
#

do you know how to identify which one is in use? Disabled the one you're not using in Device Manager so you don't get confused?

pure garnet
#

ax210 is like the golden standard for wifi cards

#

so if that's really what you have then you have a config issue elsewhere

livid flame
#

Or signal issue

floral spear
#

Updated it and yes got it on 5hz

hoary hatch
floral spear
hoary hatch
#

It should be a simple screw

edgy laurel
hoary hatch
#

Idk if having both could cause bandwidth or signal issues

floral spear
hoary hatch
#

You can also disable it in bios

floral spear
edgy laurel
#

what on earth are we supposed to be doing with those

#

ya know, i would be happy if the just stopped shipping phone with flashes for the camera

#

to force people to stop using them

floral spear
#

At least the speed is more tolerable

If i was local lol

brave panther

wtf is a v1

topaz veldt
#

truly you're not diag'ing individual component issues on a dimm

edgy laurel
topaz veldt
#

you'd really have to remove each IC and float them on a test pcb or something

edgy laurel
brave panther
#

do these work?

edgy laurel
#

i was just thinking i'm sure there is a test rig

floral spear
#

wtf is a v1

topaz veldt
#

thats just a connectivity check

edgy laurel
#

wonder what that is doing as I don't see any visual logic on that topside at least. Just checking continuity/resistance?

topaz veldt
#

it won't tell you ECC errors

topaz veldt

that is talking about vulnerabilities

#

i just need to verify no (un)correctable errors

edgy laurel

oh, now those are intense

hey guys, as we all know ram prices are bonkers right now so ive been looking at facebook marketplace for some used kits, right now i have the option to buy two kits of ram
both are gskill trident z

96bg ddr5 5600 cl40
i can get both of these right now for $300 and they are going into a 9800x3d / 5080 build
would the 5600 cl40 kit suffice for that cpu? i know people say the "sweet spot" is 6000 cl30
any and all help is greatly appreciated!

turbid locust

ain’t nobody got time for that

topaz veldt

I wonder how much a whole loop costs for the lifetime of a card vs. just plumbing it to your sink and running the faucet with a low flow thru a water filter

turbid locust
#

LOL

topaz veldt
#

Its a good idea right?

turbid locust
#

no bro lmao

topaz veldt
#

it sure is

#

Usually water bill is like $0.01 per gallon

low sorrel
#

@pure garnet how much is the 4070 again

topaz veldt
#

just forego the radiators and water pump and just give that baby a constant fresh flow to a drain

#

$0.005 per gallon

#

50 gallons/day is like 50 cents

#

no, 25 cents

#

So turn the flow up to 100 gallons per day, $0.50/day

brave panther
#

interesting power consumption diffrence between old CRAC and new CRAC

topaz veldt
#

You could constant flush a loop with no recirculation, cold water, for $547 for three years

#

that's cheaper than a fucking loop

topaz veldt
#

we have like 8 new 30k units going in

brave panther
topaz veldt

I have 4 more of these going in lol

#

will bring us up to 12

brave panther

we have two big ones and datacenter is just 0.003% of load KEKW

topaz veldt
#

these are each 1.25MW

wise bear
#

dyamb

topaz veldt
#

sorry it'll go up to 16 in total, we have 8 today

brave panther
#

ours is 2mw each afaik

low sorrel
#

how do you use hardware swap

#

how do you fliter shit

topaz veldt
#

I would be surprised if they are over 1.3 MW, thats the largest that detroit diesel makes

brave panther
#

and all it does is power compressors in case of power outage 🤣

topaz veldt
#

my biggest issue is that once I am done bring in second service, 8+ more CRACs, upgrading existing CRACs, and GPU farms, we will need a fuel drop every 3.1 days

#

So we have permits in for another gigantor tank

brave panther
topaz veldt

They're also doing a system whereas we can valve and pump fuel down from one part of the campus

I have compute that's like intake + 10F

#

I also have compute thats intake + $OVER_LIMIT

#

lol

#

The big nightmares are obviously Dell XE9680s and Oracle Exadata racks

#

but I just finished designing a crazy dense high IO compute/scale-out NVMe platform that requires significant cooling

brave panther
#

for me compute exausts air at 32c but lot of air gets blown by switches which dont produce that much heat
so by the end it gets diluted to 27c

topaz veldt
#

our switching is not in the compute area

#

for some of these platforms the temps were so bad I had to do like "inward facing" pods and put a roof on them

#

as the intake fans were sucking hot air from around the racks

#

@brave panther

brave panther
#

mmm data

topaz veldt
#

sliding doors at either end, only cold air pumped into the fronts

#

the delta between front and rear are offensive

#

thos are only 1/2 rack units

brave panther
#

is is normal to have it not enclosed?

topaz veldt
topaz veldt
#

for general compute that's how I do it, but for GPU and Exadata it just can't

brave panther
#

do you have any of those watercooled rear doors?

topaz veldt

No, but we have fully closed loop setups

the rack doors don't do anything for us

M.2 nerds - is there a cable I can jam in an M.2 slot and like... make it go the other way by like 80mm

# candid kernel Your right. Thanks

Nvidia card? If you're trying to play older games, multiplayer games or just games that don't have native HDR support, Windows AutoHDR is probably the least effective way to go about it. Nvidia cards have RTX HDR and it does the job better and gives you a lot more control. In fact it gives you control in general, which AutoHDR doesn't.
