An "Audiophile Grade" SSD—Yes, You Heard That Right
Avacado replied to ENTERPRISE's topic in Journalism & Entertainment
Nobody wants to read anything by you. PHITE ME!

Alright. Moved the 3 660Ti's over to the test bench to troubleshoot the failing SLI. Turns out one of them was indeed defective. So I put the other 2 on water, dialed in the OC's and am hitting it. Good enough for a WR in Cloudgate so far. Spaghetti anyone?

Did the requirements for Win 11 change overnight?
Avacado replied to Avacado's topic in Operating Systems
Huh. Well I never even looked. Both of my 9900k systems always told me that my hardware was not supported. Its rather weird though as the office rig has never notified me and the test bench only recently did. -
The EVGA 790i Supports 1600 and even 2000 in 2 of the 4 slots. I have run the 4 sticks of Muskin mem at 1733 and did not have any crashes. Just not able to run the specified timings of 7-9-7. Though I did not run any mem tests.

Avacado replied to Avacado's topic in Operating Systems
My understanding is that 9 series chips were not part of the hardware needed to upgrade. But I see it on the supported list. Very odd. I had not changed any settings and this was the first time it hinted to upgrade. -
Fair point. X5470 purchased. So small update. 1 of the 660Ti's is faulty, was getting errors running benches in tri-sli even though it seemed to be working fine. After inspecting each individually I found it was really messed up. Not to worry, got another one coming. Not able to boot the Muskin's at rated timings @1600. Not sure what is going on there. Tried running 2 sticks and CPU at default speeds, no joy.

Logged onto the test bench this morning and was greeted with an update stating my computer was ready for upgrade to win11. I'm still rocking the 9900k/z390 on the test bench.

Congrats Firedfly! Huge milestone in such a short timeframe.

Pepperidge farm makes some delicious cookies though. Honestly, would be cool to have a father that was this into tech given its status back then. My father was born in 57'. I couldn't imagine him having a clue about anything tech related. He barely remembers to wash his hands after he shits.

NASA spacecraft 'touches' the sun, enters corona
Avacado replied to UltraMega's topic in Technology and Science
This is really cool stuff. -
Welcome to the forums. Think of this like the adult table at Thanksgiving. OCN being the kids table. Though, i'd probably be the 1st one here to jump over to that table from time to time
-
Really cool. I actually watch that video often. Along with many others. I am partial to Ritchie havens set.
-
So then the X5492 and X5472's I bought should be winners. Fingers crossed.

Yea. This stuff is no joke. I was 25 miles from where hurricane Irma made landfall (Mainland Florida) back in 2017. It was projected to hit the Keys as a Cat 5. I lived <100 miles from Key West at the time so we retreated to the gulf panhandle. It changed course and made landfall as a Cat 3 in the same place we took refuge. It was terrifying, especially with little ones. Sounded like a freight train for about 3 hours. The thing was so massive it covered the entire state. Do we know if anyone on the site was effected?

SLI up and running. Dropped in the Extreme Quad for the unlocked multi. Not pushing it yet, but will. I got impatient waiting on the Tuniq. I am impressed by how responsive this system is given it's age. Haven't played any games on it yet. Would still make a beast of a media rig.
-
It's all good if it doesn't. I literally have no other projects going atm. So I can dedicate to this one.

So, it works! Looks like the MOBO came with a Q9450 in it. Not too shabby. I wanted to install Win 7 because at some point I want to bench the dual GTX290's that I have and it won't run on win 10 anymore. Right now the FSB is running un-linked and out of spec. Have to get Tri-sli enabled for the 3 GTX660's. I looked so damn hard for a thumbdrive with win7, but did not have one. Busted out the old DVD drive and did it the old fashioned way. The Tuniq is coming all the way from Canadia. Plan to get it going along with the Q6850. I picked up a few socket 771 Xeons and shunts to mod on @pioneerisloudrecommend. I bought a few extra shitty ones to test my filing skills first.

I have had family in town all week/end. Have not had any time to play with it.

I sold it on ebay last week, and the s8s. I no longer own any labs cases.
-
No, no hiccup. Really just decided to take some profit. I really don't have any need for a massive CL case and 4 2080ti's. I have the SFFish build with the 3070 in the office. The bench with the 3070Ti and now the tri-sli 660ti build to play with. I just don't have the patience to build massive anymore. Moving back towards soft tubing, QDC's and modularity ease.

Alright. I am sure with all of the luck disaster I have had this past year with builds that this should be smooth right? I wanted to build a LGA 775 that I can trace my enthusiast roots to. The intent is to get the whole thing on water and dominate. We'll see how that goes. There are a few components I have had trouble finding. Namely Mosfet waterblocks. Build list: Board - EVGA Nforce 790i CPU (I bought a few) - Q6600, Q8200, E8400, QX6850. RAM - G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ 9-9-9-24, Mushkin Blackline PC3-12800 7-9-7-24 GPU's - 3 x EVGA 660Ti's I'll do the rest later.

Sorry to say that this build has been scrapped. All components have been sold.
