Some tests, still need to activate expo. Also the 9100 Pro 2Tb. The AIO fans are blowing exact on the SSD port so with the default mainboard heatsink didnt exceed 34 Celsius. The layout of a Rack 2u Case has it advantages 😁. But the sound is not one of them. The 40mm fan from the 1U PSU is like a jet engine 🤣

Above my budget right now. Maybe I can snatch one from work 😅😂

Hahaha, the PRO 7995wx is good even Overkill for what is needed it but it was an offer i cannot refuse😆😆. Was in holiday and didnt have time for it. Still need to optimize and rearange Cables inside, got a 9100 Pro2 TB for that Pcie gen 5. Need more ram and also gpus. Ignore the gtx1050 , it's only for tests. I will need to get an riser 90 degree to fit the gpu inside. But I love the mainboard, Asrock wrx90 ws evo, went with it because the other wrx90 is from Asus and I despise them. More expensive as the asrock and full of problems .Reddit and forums are full of them. STUPID Asus wants over 1k euro for that mainboard and still cannot make it work. The Asrock is incredible, so many options, bulid like a tank, a lot of connectivity, bmc remote management is superb. And it booted and did the whole diagnostic and memory training in under 3 minutes. That's good for a complicated platform like the threadripper.I love it. Use case it will be my homelab brain. Will run a gazillion VMs because Cores are plenty and I will also start Local AI training. Still need to decide on gpus..maybe I will get some Rtx A series ore Rtx Ada for it.

First try, its a beast. 😆Cooling it with Alphacool Eisblock XPX Pro 1U in a 2U rack chassis, its loud as hell but it will be part of my homelab rack in the basement. Probably will move it in a 4U chassis like the Alphacool ES 4U ServerRack where i can use bigger fans and will be quieter :). Doing around 130 W on win idle, need to check in Zorin OS linux aswell. But didn exceed 65 celsius in cinebench. Paired with only 64gb 5600mhz DDR ECC Ram.. will buy some more but ECC ram is expensive as hell right now. Need more cores? 🙂

@Mr. Fox Thx, lots of work related stuff and busy with the kids and wife..also got fed up with the industry. Nothing exciting anymore. Doing more WM stuff on old hardware like Proxmox, learning more kubernets and stuff😀. @electrosoft @jaybee83 Hahaha, nope. But it was a funny coincidence I saw on the last pages that you guys were talking about the 6000 pro and today at the office comes a guy from the research department and gives us a 6000 pro in the hand. When we have time to find a machine in our racks that can accommodate the beast so they can test it🤣. It was free from nvidia, our firm has a collaboration with all the big players and we get from time to time stuff to test...funny thing is they don't want them back so after they lay in the firm, forgotten. But it's a heavy one. But also only one crappy small 12hpwr on it... I haven't bought anything from this new stuff that is on the market..in my eyes is only expensive shit..nothing worthwhile..I will not pay their prices. I'll wait for next generation or buy a 5090 when it's under the msrp price 😃. The same with the expansive amd and intel 💩

Ahem hello i am back after some hiatus,family, work and so on Looks like everyone is rockin 5090 and so on... 😜🫠

@Papusan how about this from our green "friends" 🤣 https://www.tweaktown.com/news/101829/geforce-rtx-5070-specs-reveal-fewer-cuda-cores-than-4070-super-40-less-ti/index.html

F76 on Gamepass is a buggy mess, I originally had it there and played but because of the bugs I bought it again on steam and also lost a month of 1st because you cannot transfer it to steam. On of the stupid bugs is related to the installation folder. If you install it in a new location, partition and not the default gamepass one when a new update comes it will not find the path and also it will just delete the whole game, you will need to install it again and again..it will just delete the whole game folder 🤣🤣. And there were more bugs. Stay away from it. Microsoft/Bethesda knows about it but they don't care..

yeah, me too 😄 already 3hours in. Superb game.

Guys STALKER 2 launched, superb game! Looks awesome, some bugs here and there but its fine. I am getting around 80 to 100 FPS on EPIC with dlss3, native only the 4090 struggles around 50-60 🤣

Looks like Asrock entered the PSU Market. The OEM behind should be seasonic. https://www.vortez.net/news_story/asrock_enters_power_supply_market_with_its_lineup_of_atx_3_1_and_pcie_5_1_compliant_psus.html

Its a gaming machine, beating the KS while consuming under half the power.

Yes that's the plan in the long run, but didnt had any time to optimize the timings and do some oc. Got the dimms only yesterday, only had time to install them and see if they work on my platform. @Mr. Fox they are 5600 on default. This is the kit that I got. I am also on an older agesa and bios. V1E agesa 1.1.7.0 https://www.gskill.com/specification/165/374/1683702743/F5-7600J3852F24GX2-TZ5RK-Specification

Interesting and also strange,i thought the ram compatibility will be better on the x870 as the first gen. I have no problem on my MSI B650 with a new kit of 2x24 Gskill 7600 that i got it cheap on ebay. its not even in the msi qvl list of the board but is working with expo 1 like a champ. Even my boot time got better with it as it was with the old 2x16 GB Kingston Fury 6000 cl32

Yes this a stupid decision from AMD and almost all board partners to cut pcie lanes for that USB 4 that no ones uses it.. I checked and ASRock is the only one that offers full pcie lanes, at resonable price!. MSI does have it on the godlike.. It looks like the ASRock 870e Nova is the best board right now. cheap, full pcie lanes, you can drive 5 nvme and still maintain x16 on the GPU and build like a tank.
