Had a bit an accident late last winter with my single burner lantern, so I gave my self an early Xmas present. NEMO Sonic 0

I could have saved my self hours of testing, if I would have just replaced the garbage stick sooner. Swapped out the bad stick for one of the new sticks, loaded a 2866 CL16 profile that I had saved, and I am 30 minutes into a stressapptest run with zero errors. With the old stick in I would start to see errors within 20 seconds of starting a stress test.

Have you tried playing on your 5650X with the 1.05 patch?

Two new sticks are set to be delivered on Wednesday, so hopefully I can get it sorted out with the new sticks. One of the other sticks also showed a single error, but I'm pretty sure that only showed up when trying to get 128GB to run at 3200. I already have mis-matched sticks, so more than likely even if the replacement is good, I will be maxed out at 2866-2933. Four of the sticks (including the bad one) have some funky Micron Rev H? chips, that I'm pretty sure are some sort of ES ICs. This late in the life cycle of DDR4 you start to see some funny stuff getting put on modules. Especially, with something like ECC UDIMMs which are not really made in real quantity.

I've ran it all the way up and down from 1.25v to 1.6v while testing. That stick just doesn't want to run stable at anything over 2666, even at CL22.

One less than stellar stick of RAM. That stick won't really run at anything over 2666. Rolled the dice on a new pair of sticks, and we'll see what ICs I get.

1.2 sounds about right to me. It's been a bit since I folded on a 5700XT, but that should be close to the average when you account for the low ppd WUs.

Since the chipset on X570 is PCIe-4.0 it does get pretty warm. The chipset is always the hottest thing on my TRX40 board. I let it sit at around 65°C, because that little fan starts to get a bit whiny over 4500 RPM.

Pretty nuts that I am playing the most anticipated game of the year on Linux on launch day. There are a number of gotchas to play it on Linux, but in the short time that I've been playing, I've had zero issues. Playing on a Radeon VII running at 2075/1150, 3440x1440, high preset with motion blur off. I didn't really mess with the settings too much, since I really just wanted to see if the game was actually playable. At high settings FPS was hovering in the 35-45 range, so the setting could use some tuning. Even at the lower frame rate the game was still smooth, and I didn't encounter any bugs. Since this is a screenshot thread, here's the first one for your thread.

Just a little update. It looks like this is going to turn into a very overkill server. Thinking about swapping out a few things on my workstation, so I might be adding a pair of Radeon VIIs to this machine. For now just testing with a pair of Vega 64s.

I imagine you already got a new phone, but if not, here's another vote for a Pixel. I just picked up a Pixel 4a for $350 US. I have zero interest in the Google ecosystem, but it's the closest to pure android and super easy to run an alternate OS on. The camera is excellent, and overall I would say this is my favorite phone since I retired my Lumia 1020. Even though I have fairly large hands, giant phones drive me nuts. It's nice to have a compact device again, even if we'll never see a proper aspect ratio on a phone again. 15:9 ftw

Yep, 5x 360mm rads.

Forgot about this thread. Here's an update on my main machine. Maxed out the case back in June. I had to clearance the floor a bit to get the last GPU in.

10Gb networking makes pretty quick work of transferring data around. I'll probably spin up a temporary 6-8TB SSD RAID-0 to pull the data off the server, add the old drives to the new storage pool, and then it's just a local rsync to put the data in the new storage pool. Since I purged a bunch of stuff off my current file server to cold archives, I should be able to get everything moved in 2 batches.

Looks like it is actually an issue with some things I have disabled in Firefox. Last test was using Safe Mode, but that only disables add-ons, and doesn't reset any about:config changes. I just wiped my profile, and image upload works fine. Thanks for testing. ?

Looks like maybe just a Linux issue. I'll reload a fresh empty profile and test. *Edit* No change with a bone stock empty Firefox profile.

Every upload is like this:

Same result using drag and drop or the file uploader. What's weird is that it was working fine before and just randomly stopped.

Uploading images to posts is broken on Firefox. I made an album and uploading images to the album works, but images uploaded to a post seem to break. I disabled all add-ons for testing and the results were the same. Image upload works as expected using Chromium. OS - Arch Linux Browser - Firefox 83.0 (same issue existed on Firefox 82.xx) Firefox: Chromium:

Nothing too exciting, just making up some new cables for the drives. I will be starting to backup/transfer the data on the current server and start migrating the data to the new drive setup this weekend.

Not much happening other than continuing some extended testing. Right now I'm doing some misc performance/reliability testing on btrfs, and trying to decide what the final storage layout will be. Also, I'll be going with a 200mm Noctua fan in the front panel of the case, which will hopefully move enough air to keep things cool. Only thing that I might need to address temp wise is the VRMs. With the goal being silence I'd rather not add a fan mid case to cool the VRMs. The server will see fairly high load compiling and running test applications, but with no OC, VRM temps should be fine. If not, then I can always add one of my Heatkiller SW-X 80 DIYs to the loop. I used a SW-X 60 on my Taichi X399 board, and it cooled the VRMs without a hitch.

If gaming (or a number of other workloads) is the #1 priority, then an NVIDIA GPU is really the only option that makes sense. In addition to the outright stellar performance, the ecosystem has many more bells and whistles than the bare-bones offerings from AMD. ¢¢

Not sure with the current mix of gear, but maybe something like 19-20M ppd. It will probably be a bit before I can get a good estimate with everything folding, but I might give it a go in December. Unfortunately for F@H, I have a stack of AMD gear for testing ROCm, but I do have a few NVIDIA GPUs that can probably take a break from training to do a bit of folding in the next EHW race. :D

Sandbagger. Too late to fire up some more GPUs. I'll have to get serious next month.

Can't wait to have to jailbreak my x86 CPU. Security in silicon is a great idea until exploits and/or flaws are found. SGX is a nice dumpster fire, and I think it's on like round 40 of patches to try and plug it's holes to get it mainlined in the Linux kernel. This looks like another black box on top of the existing PSP and Intel ME, both of which have had more than a few security holes.
