Reciever

When ever I fall on hard times I tend to low backwards than forwards in terms of gaming/entertainment. Cell phones can do wonders with emulation these days, but I also have a PSP for emulation. In fact tomorrow I will be finishing up a big battery mod so it can last around 15 hours with full brightness and mild overclock.

Even if all the members left tonight, the forums would remain :) Welcome to the forums!

It would be a lot of trouble, but in theory the 8th gen chip would give it some extra legs. 1080's still do pretty well when tuned

It could also be that AMD is trying to deflate the hype train. Honestly considering how many times people expect AMD to take them to the moon only to be shown the observatory has hurt their image just as much as their marketing for Vega did.

I suspect this to be largely true, save for they also set the precedent for failing to do anything with the HEDT market. Sadly, this means they have precedent for two truths to be in play. Supporting a platform for the masses such as AM4, of which I benefit from personally (my bias) and also ditching HEDT which also expected (whether justified or not, I dont know) that support. Though, its also true (sadly) that most of the AM4 market will not know this or care, while the HEDT market is probably pretty miffed since on an individual level, invested much more into that platform by comparison. This isnt to throw shade on AMD, just that I was hoping for them to have a cleaner record generally.

All roads lead back to the soldering iron. Recently had to fix my own tools at work since the "engineering department" only manages to scratch off the pad rendering it destroyed. Since I had been following a fair number of exploits by various NBR members I knew I could lightly scratch the covering for the trace and soldered a wire to the pin for my usb port. Fully operational. Sometimes I question engineers lack of motivation. Career specialist best by a 10 dollar iron and 10 minutes of youtube lol Though I did try to use solder wick as solder and without paste, while not plugged in. Baby steps. Next little project is soldering a 4000Mah battery to my homebrew PSP, I think its supposed to be good for 15+ hours of continuous use after that. Not my idea of course.

If there was improvement to be had, definitely. Gets tricky though on air, dont want to recycle hot air and all that

Looks like prices went up instead of down. ebay/microcenter are at 400 versus 329 and 379 from yesterday lol

May want to add your general location, may help with enticing potential sellers along with any Marketplace feedback. Welcome to the forums :)

The one modification that I wanted to try was removing 2x SODMM slots under the keyboard, this would permit for a MXM 3.0b card in a 15.6" frame. At the time I simply ripped them out, traces and all which naturally didnt work. would've been better if I attempted to desolder, not sure what possessed me to go that route lol.

Its the idea that meme coins can be used to offset potential losses from the larger coins iirc, its happened a few times. I dont follow it as much as I had before though. More interested to see the AMD reviews in December, I guess they are expecting the Holiday season to kick start the sales?

I wouldnt look to Dogecoin for GPU mining speculation, wrong algorithm (ASIC) I would keep an eye on Ergo and Raven, could be 1-2 more that I am unaware of but the former doesnt have universal adoption in the markets. That all being said looking forward to when the reviews drop for AMD GPU's

I like those prices, amazon and microcenter seem to have not updated their listings yet. 5800X3D should make for a nice performance uplift over my 2700x

I read about it longer after they were relevant so I couldnt say since all the picture links were broken, this is the only thing I could quickly find.

Dont really need larger heatsinks when you have fans with significantly higher static pressure. Though due to its distance from the heatsink and the card you could always get larger heatsinks if you plan to take it to extremes. I like big air coolers, my bias is showing lol Currently my 3090 is like 4.5 slots due to the heatsinks I have on the backplate

I am unsure if the two are linked, would be surprised if they are.

Looks interesting, reminds me of the CoolerMaster V10 scenario. Some people modded those for much more capacity and it actually worked at that point.

Source Well I know what I am getting for my 3090

The home I am currently renting is 2 stories, is not wired up as of right now. The modem/router from AT&T is currently active though none of my personal devices are using it. Modem (Fiber)/ Router (broadcasting) with my AX50 connected to it, broadcasting its own network 2.4Ghz/5Ghz on Auto - 20Mhz / AC - 80Mhz. Its set to strict AC mode since the best I can get with the C9 is AC 80Mhz via WDS. The Precision 7810 is a workstation which is located up stairs for now which is also a part time miner for at least until around Feb/March of next year when temperatures start to pick back up which is also why I was entertaining it to be used for steam streaming since its already a GPU heavy system. I am about to acquire 3x 7810's from work as well which is another motivating factor for overhauling the network infrastructure. I have a couple of switches but I believe both are 1Gb, 1 smaller 8 port unmanaged and 1x 16 port unmanaged. I also have 2x 4-port 1Gb NIC expansion cards and 1x 2 port 1Gb NIC. Perhaps I could pick up an SFP+ expansion card and wire everything straight into the PC running pfsense/opensense which would basically be a 7810. Its way more power consumption than a standard router of course but I figure I can worry about that later if needed after establishing a proof of concept first. I could move my storage there as well which is around 30TB over a bunch of older drives. In total I'll have 4x 7810's but 2 of the them I will want to probably dedicate to HomeLabesque workloads. They are 20c/40t systems and I have 256GB RAM that I can give to 2 of the systems (128GB each), these will probably be located in the Garage. The only issue I'll probably have is getting decent storage for each system. I also have a Precision 5820x which is much newer with a 9800x and 32GB of DDR4. Its not compatible with the DDR4 ram that I have for the other systems. Oh and also want to set up an internet facing game server as @Hiew has challenged me to set up a Linux box. The hardware I have set aside for it is a Micro Optiplex 7060 i7 8700T with 32GB RAM. I'll try and get a layout made of the home after work so that we have a visual aid. Thanks @Custom90gt

Its working as it should, silly mishap in config and Im chasing the problem back into its rabbit hole haha I havent had time for additional tuning quite yet, work kept me awfully busy. Should have some more time tomorrow.

I wonder how many people will move off of the 7770 to the 7780?

Good evening everyone, Long story short, this will be a bit of a rant. The beginning - I initially purchased a modem and router to replace the leased equipment from the provider, cant remember modem but the router I still have. Archer C5. It served its purpose. More or less. Later I upgraded to the AX50, I was happy to have WiFi 6 as I upgraded my Ranger at the time to have the x1650x. This was after using of using the C5 along with a USB powered Wireless N hotspot/router that I used to boost the signal to my room. tl;dr stepping up from the band-aid fix. I later replaced the C5 with the C9, mostly to get Gigabit speeds via ethernet, the C5 only has 100Mb ports. With the understanding that the C5 and C9 could do Wireless bridge mode via WDS function, I erroneously purchased a second AX50. The thought process was that I could use the second AX50 in WDS mode while also using Link Aggregation on the workstation. Its a Precision 7810 that has a single Gigabit Ethernet port + 1Gbit NIC via PCI. The idea was to take advantage of the Intranet speed that this would in theory allow. The 7810 is my Plex server, that I was also entertaining the thought of turning into a steam stream system (or something akin to that). Problem is, no AX router supports WDS. Okay, well that sucks. What about custom firmware perhaps? Nope. Closed source. Upon further research, I discovered this reddit thread here. A sort of twisting the knife to this little conundrum. Tonight - My needs are beginning to go out of bounds of typical user I suppose? While I consider myself a hobbyist at best for hardware, I am more or less a laymen in the networking genre. So heres my question to you guys. What would be a good hardware platform to build a network from? I get there is OpenSense. How would I go about building a network that I can expand on as time progresses? The needs are obvious basic 8080 traffic for the home users, Plex transcribing, potential for steam streaming. What I would like to do is build an SCCM/MDT server and start a HomeLab revolving around that as that may be the direction my work goes into. Thanks in advance everyone

That was just the older standard, DDRL3 moved to 1.35v I believe with Haswell but prier generations were also compatible. Could also try forcing no page file and see how your RAM behaves differently in Windows and gaming

I do not disagree, in general when there is a quick quip here and there, I dont intervene. As its more work for me, and insufferable for our members. Lets just say it looked like a good place to exit the highway. An interesting idea, shoot me a PM when you have some spare time I'd like to flesh it out. Very well put, Thank You @electrosoft
