Topic? Given who was involved in the event (AOC AND OMAR) and the real reasons behind it, it's a sad topic. The "news media" have turned the event into a multi-ring circus that has little to do with objective science/tech.

I'll be I'll be using a 2080ti until I decide what I want to do about the new gpu releases. Things gpu-wise are so much up in the air right now that I feel patience is the best recourse; and it'll probably be 2021 before I make any decisions about them. They are looking pretty good though. I'm also considering the new AMD CPUs and I've been keeping my eye on them as well. Adding them to my growing collection is certainly not out of the question. In any event, just got done moving the temp sensors from the hose connections up front of the Mora 420s, to the unused ports in their rear. Makes for cleaner/better cable runs to the temp inputs on the AQ6XT. I'll add a pic or two of that work tomorrow. As for the SR-3 CPU mounting, the fixed 12.5 in-lbs torque driver showed up, but I didn't realize I'd need an adapter to use my 1/4 inch bits, so I had to order that adapter. It should be here the beginning of next week.

Brawndo 1, common sense 0.

In all fairness and for a slew of reasons, anything that highlights what a politician is doing here in the U.S. at this point in time has the potential to become highly contentious, irrespective of their stance or party. Best not to post "news" about them or what they're doing if you don't want to get people yelling at each other.

Note to self: canx any orders we get from Huang for custom leather jackets, but continue our typically excellent service to Lisa Su. If Huang asks for a reason for the cancellation, tell him demand outstripped supply.

I'd think the dimming lights and buzzing sounds probably arouse their suspicions more Some of the grid here in these parts likely dates back to the time Edison was playing with tungsten threads.

Yeah, I've been around analog and digital cameras and both black&white and color darkrooms for a long time now, since the early '70s, and have picked up a lot of tricks over the years. As for whether the bench has powered up yet, Initial tests on the X299 bench in the rear have been completed on air and I'll be getting it ready for water in conjunction with the SR-3/3647 and Z490 builds (which I still need to test on air). I hope to have all the water-free testing done by sometime next week so that I can move into water and put the "Muffler Bearings" control panel through its paces under full load. If you think that cooler is big now, wait until I attach the dual fans. It is big though, and blocks the two nearest ram slots. ...which reminds me of the cpu der8auer dropped on the motherboard socket in the video I posted earlier. Believe me when I say that I was extra careful dangling that camera above the board in that picture. Once I get the "from above" shots done, I'll move the camera to a tripod which will make taking pix far more convenient (and far less nerve wracking).

So while I'm waiting for the rest of the bits and pieces and tools that I need to make the SR-3 build power ready (they should all be here the next few days), I figured I'd dust off the Nikon D810 and my Polaroid MP4 copy stand, and get them ready to start shooting the Sports Illustrated shots (you know, the really sexy gals in skimpy bikini shots). The D810 is actually mounted to the MP4 using a macro rail combo I put together sometime back specifically for use with the MP4, which allows me to adjust critical fine focus. The Nikon itself will be tethered to my tablet by way of a router/software app (qdslrdashboard) combo that allows communication and control of a number of camera functions wirelessly. In other words, I won't need to look through the camera's viewfinder to take pix. Which is obviously a good thing, because I'd need a step ladder to do so otherwise I'll work on getting the router/app combo set up tomorrow. Also considering dusting the Elinchrom ELB strobes off for the really nice pix; but will probably wait to do that until I'm using water to cool the build. In the meantime, a pic of the current setup follows, as well as an enlarged view of that pic:

ElmorLabs EVC2S and their SOIC8 test clip showed up yesterday. Nice little package:

bant coz a copper penny for your thoughts.

Thanks again, everyone Actually, given their price (roughly US $4 each), it is. der8auer recently ruined an expensive ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming motherboard and felt that the main reason that happened was because he took the cpu out of its carrier frame once too often: The carrier frames for such large cpus are a cheap enough part that there's no reason not to have extras on hand. While I do wonder though whether the real reason he dropped the cpu onto the socket had something more to to do with his focus on making the video over the task itself, he's almost always good at what he does and actually influenced me to buy extras

bant coz here you go, $20 in pennies (sorry they're not wrapped):

The CPU carriers TE Connectivity (TE AMP) sent me showed up. Best online packaging, ordering, shipping experience I've ever had: The top side of the carrier: The underside of the carrier. Note the "TIM BREAKER" tip on the upper right, as well as the pin one alignment triangle on the upper left (not highlighted): I'll be writing a bit more about breaking the tim in a future post. In the meantime, it's something I've noted in a couple of posts elsewhere that apparently some stress about because of the potential for damage to the cpu pins on the motherboard if improperly accomplished when removing the heat sink or water block (depending on the use case).

Thanks bud I'm going to see if I can't make a short video of the mounting process for the heat sink I'll be using to initially test the cpu. The Noctua NH-U12S DX-3647 should be here by the end of this coming week. No laser siting necessary, but I will be using a 12.5 in/lb preset torque driver to tighten things up.

Yeah, I got the feeling he was more focused on his (e.g.) camera's focus than he was on what he was actually doing when that happened. But yes, accidents can and obviously do happen.

Kinda sorta, E, with the difference being the TR4 socket still provides a mechanism for proper CPU alignment with the socket as you lock it down. In the case of the 3647 socket, you essentially mount the CPU to a heatsink (or waterblock) first, then install that combined package by lowering it manually into the socket. There are guide pins on what's called the socket's top bolster which are used to help line things up, but you do have to a lot more careful than you do in the case of your conventional desktop CPUs. Upgrading an (e.g.) MacPro can be especially difficult which some think takes nerves of steel. I actually had to chuckle once or twice while reading that thread, especially when they pointed out what de8auer did during his video about delidding a W-3175X.

So the XEON W-3265 should be here tomorrow or Saturday, and I went ahead and ordered a handful of LGA 3647 cpu carriers from TE Connectivity to have a few extra on hand. They're spec'd for narrow-ILM, non-fabric use: See TE's LGA3647 Socket Instruction Sheet (PDF file) if you'd like to know more.

Glad to be of assistance

Thanks guys; and welcome, B!

Doesn't look like it was the script itself, but glad it's fixed

Yup, see the following example, followed by options for that case:

Somewhat of a workaround follows for this if you don't mind using a browser extension like Stylish, which allows you to create custom css that can be added to any site. Using (e.g.) Stylish, this: . hides the sidebar on the right. While it's impact is global, you can enable/disable the extension on the fly. If you'd like to know more and/or need help, let me know.

You may already be aware of the slider not working on the home page E, but if not, here's some additional info for you and your site devs (ref. the screen cap at the bottom of this post for a screen shot): The following error is showing up in the dev consoles in both Chrome and Mozilla (Firefox): SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1 The full text of the issue follows: (index):1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1 at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at Object.success ((index):329) at i (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:2) at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:2) at x (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4) at XMLHttpRequest.c (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4) The script that's generating the error follows (it starts at line 324 of index.php for the home page): <script> var $ = jQuery; $(document).ready(function () { $.get('https://extremehw.net/fetchPosts.php', function(data) { let posts = JSON.parse(data); $.each(posts, function(index, post) { let trueIndex = index + 1; let titleWrapper = $('#post-' + trueIndex + '-title'); let authorWrapper = $('#post-' + trueIndex + '-author'); let dateWrapper = $('#post-' + trueIndex + '-date'); let catsWrapper = $('#post-' + trueIndex + '-cats'); let bgWrapper = $('#sliderBlock-' + trueIndex); titleWrapper.html(post.post_title); titleWrapper.attr('href', post.post_url); authorWrapper.html(post.author_name); authorWrapper.attr('href', post.author_url); dateWrapper.html(post.post_date); catsWrapper.html(post.categories); bgWrapper.attr('data-href', post.post_url); bgWrapper.attr('style', 'background-image: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0,0,0,.5),rgba(0,0,255,0)), url(' + post.thumb_url +'); background-size:cover;background-position: center center;'); }); $('body').on('click', '.slider-block', function(){ window.location.href = $(this).attr('data-href'); }); $('#sliderProgress').css('opacity', 0); setTimeout(function(){ $('#sliderProgress').hide(); }, 2000); }); }); </script> See Fix: Unexpected token o in JSON for an explanation of what's going on and how to address the error. It's a fairly common one and there's plenty of info out there that offers help in fixing it.

Me too (here too).

bant coz thankyou. i'm pretty sure we're not compatible though.
