Howdy,

 

I have the stickers ready to go. I will try to get them packed up and ready to mail out this weekend if I hear back from all the winners. 

 

These are just a reprint of the ones I gave away last year. Last time I had two sizes. This time I just did the smaller size since that's what most people preferred.

Guys i rly appreciate the effort but i have to pass.

I didn't took part as i knew on that weekend i will be away, so i didn't voted my self in (but didn't thought about the Friday ) .. So you can draw someone who took part  

And on the other side im in EU so the shipping would cost more then 10 shipping's local

the only "public transportation" is my area are these things that are exclusively for the elderly/disabled, don't think I quite meet the requirements 

  

 

kind of like The Hills Have Eyes, but with more trees

"kind of like The Hills Have Eyes, but with more Eyes"  i just imagined this and it made me laugh

The public transportation in my city is called RTD. Around here the joke is that it stands for "Reason To Drive". I 100% agree with that acronym. 

 

Too bad most American cities just aren't setup with good layouts and transit. At least for here, it was clear Denver was developed with the car in mind and I suspect that's true for most American cities.

Yeah at my place it has as well many names, but the most common would be translated as "Greasy stick/rod" ... And yeah, i noticed that its kinda different then in Europe...

public transportation is for the feeble and I live in the boonies 

 

spending a grand to keep the car is less of a hassle than selling it and buying another. aside from the emissions crap the car has been 10/10. 

Well at my place is an year ticket for the public transport cost basically 3/4 of a monthly cost for fuel (not speaking about the side cost for the car) and as well takes much more time (almost the twice as with PT) so for  me its not that much difficult to decide.. And i rather pay my mortgage then make the money puff out the exhaust  But i know it heavy depends on the city, location, circumstances and so on and so on.. 

And yes your right - its easier to adjust the car you have then to change it.. and there is always the aspect that with this car you already know what you have, while with a new one you have to find out

Ye, another reason I want to delete. When I bought the car I was driving ~40 miles one way @ 75mph and now I'm driving ~5 miles one way @ <45mph.

 

I have to intentionally take a long convoluted route home now and again just to get it to start/finish a regen 

Well wouldnt it make more sense to switch the car for a petrol one? living in a city as well and for this i park my car at work in the undergound garage and use during the work week just public transportation… but i understand not everywhere its that good developed and makes no sense..

I see… and yeah understand… Btw the problems could be caused by driving short distances or just city/traffic jams… Thats killing diesel engines… from time to time you have to “clean tge pipes” with a longer drive …. Anyway i think your more aknowledged then im so… yeah… GL with the project and Congrats to the new job and GL there as well!

General Motors are cowards.

 

In 2001, they were going to make a 450hp V8 hatchback for the road. This is because at the time, they were racing in DTM and wanted to have a road version of their DTM car. It would have had a 4L V8, front engine, rear wheel drive based on this.

 

 

Instead, they decided against it for whatever reason and the best version of this car available to the public is a front wheel drive 2L turbo making 160hp. The V8 version would have looked like this

 

 

They didn't even have to make it mass production. Mercedes did that exact same thing except actually made the thing. This is what it looks like

 

 

So did BMW with the M3 GTR Strassenversion

 

Just wanted to share my car  11/2011 Astra 2.0 TDI OPC line with 165 HP and adaptive suspension its nice very affordable allrounder! (Just had to share after i saw the OPC astra :P)

If they're collecting those automatic $5 monthly payments via Paypal and you haven't disabled those automatic payments yet, you can disable those automatic payments via your Paypal account. Let us know if you need to know how to do that. 

 

OTOH, if they're collecting those payments via a credit or debit card, contact the card vendor and tell them to stop paying those payments. If this is the case, me, I'd be requesting a new card. 

 

While you're at it (whether a Paypal acct or a credit card acct), see if you can get at least some of those payments back.

 

Thank you for your concerns and advices. I canceled the payments yesterday already, but what im mad at is that they put my account to free version even i was paying for it. How come? Based on what? Who made the decission? If you want my money work for it the same i have to do… if you switch my account then let me know about it bcs it was not my decission… Anyway im done with them.. no penny goes this direction anymore..

my point was just to chceck your subscription guys, if you are paying and not gettin anything for it… would be waste of money you can spend in a better way…

im not coming with the perfect example, but there are statements or posts where Thank you and Respect just don't fit...

Like "I think we should meet for a beer"  ....   or "Probably i should try to reset my bios settings".. 

As well if someone comes with an "invention"...  But as told its just an idea....  

Well as the topic name already says i would like to have at least 1 more reaction button on posts. We have Thank you  and respect  and i would be happy if it would be possible to adopt one more:

or  like in a meaning "Good Idea" 

There are so many post where it would simply fit - better then Respect or thank you...  

As well i dont know how much work it presents to add it, but would make sense i think... 

Its just that i had this idea in my mind for a longer time and wanted to share to see what you think about it... 

Share your opinion please, and if you having another ideas  would welcome them as well 

Wish you a nice day  

So i just found out that OC.net was milking me for some time.. Was paying monthly for premium account and had a free account.. so GJ by me, its my fault in the end but you guys should check as well if you having a premium account there... 

made even a thread there but don't think that anyone will care anyway...

Very interesting. I sometime have a hard time reading the translated articles and understanding their conclusions, but seems like in general any 13th gen i9 produced this year seems to be worse off binning wise than those from 2022?

basically yes thats the conclusion he made based on the data from the test. But as he as well stated he had more 2022 cpu samples then 2023 so take this as well into consideration.. But yeah lets quote the conclusion here:

”However, anyone looking for a 13th-generation chip with good OC potential for whatever reason will have a slightly better chance with a 2022 model.”

is that a batch R CPU?! very nice! congrats

Yes, so you are familiar with the R batches?

Its interesting, even its a bit speculation its an indication...

Edit: i made a separate post so i link it to the post rather to keep it clean   and  now I'm linking my self to my self..  

Always wanted to take part  

Thank you for your reply.  I went finally with the 690 Ace as the guy gave me another discount and finally paid 320 EUR...  I think its not a bad price and will see what i can manage on the board regarding the DIMMs and theyr speed. Ordered as well some corairs platinum dimms 2x32 GB 6600 Mhz - lets see how this will work  And today i got my CPU delivered and had luck with the batch  Funn part is that it was rly lottery as i bought it for the lowest price online at my place... 

Shame that i dont have an ASUS board to check the SP numbers but it doesn't matter in the end.. Now i need just my mounting kit for the LGA1700 and the correction frame delivered.. Then ill replace my system... BTW any ideas what would be better for the new build, Win 10 or 11? Ups and downs? 

I started to look up the possibilities of my upgrade. Budget is not the problem, the problem is more if it make sense to spend the money...

ASUS and Gigabite i dont trust -

EVGA i wanted the Z790 boards, but they are not present and even if the last update of their bios on the classified was in march... 

ASrock? hmm not convinced...

So basically only way to go is MSI..

Wanted 10 GB NIC - well then you have to get the GODLIKE but you have t trade the iGPU... Which i don't want... And you pay a massive price for things like the external display you don't need...

So i started to look at the ACE mobos... 

Like the design, has what i need except for the 10GB NIC - but i could pass it by with and USB/Thunderbolt adapter.... 

Now i found a used Z690 ACE in a mint condition for 360 EUR which is basically half the price of the Z790 ACE and the max edition will be even more expensive...

Is it recommended to take the Z690 for an 14900K and Dimms like DOMINATOR® TITANIUM RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM? They are not listed in the supported list?  Or does it make sense to pay for the Z790? Just don't want to burn unnecessarily money in a try and fail run ...

Let me know your though.. Any advice is appreciated..

well each penny counts right...

Bounce back to the top...

I do the same thing. When I upgrade my main system, the old parts -> server. 

 

Unless you need some specialized hardware/feature for x reason that your main rig doesn't have/support then I'd just go that route. Cheaper 

 

 

if you don't have the board then you gotta Google and hope someone already posted the IOMMU groups. 

 

if you already have a board then follow the first 2 steps: 

 

PCI passthrough via OVMF - ArchWiki

WIKI.ARCHLINUX.ORG

 

you can work around some shite groupings via ACS but if it's your 1st server (or if you just want less headache) I'd avoid it if possible. There's also some security risks with ACS but it shouldn't really matter for home use. 

once im home ill take a look and lets see if if i get the infomation the board..

So now as you motivated me a bit to make an upgrade i would like to open the Question 14900K vs 13900K vs AM5 - any advice? BTW any info if EVGA is going out of MOBO business?  or should i start a new thread?

So here the Progress so far:

I was able to buy the following used parts:

Fractal Design Ion+ 660W Platinum for ca. 40 EUR with a valid waranty till 14.1.2032  (it has all i wanted - platinum certification, eco -no fan mode and enough power) And after a small research they apear to be not bad at all and for this price with waranty i had not much to think about....

Fractal Design Torrent Compact White TG Clear - for 87.75 EUR in an auction - but in a mint condition... But missing some extra parts like the conversion KIT for the 140/120 mm fans... but i anyway wanted to go with the 180mm ones so no problem as well..

SEDNA - 2.5" / 3.5" Hard Disk Rubber Stand ( 12 set / package ) for 79.99 USD at their online store with free shipping - had to pay customs about 32 USD it was still cheaper than if i would buy it from Amazon where the total cost was 141 USD.... IDK how for you folks but i saved a bit ...

Now i dusted my old MSI Z87-G55 mobo with some Kingstone 8GB RAM and an G3260 dualcore processor cooled by my TR - True spirit power   Paired with an R290 TriX GPU  

So for playing arround the mobo cpu combo are for sure enough, but for the real deal im now thinking about to retire my current system and use it for this project. 

So it would be MSI Z490 Godlike with an 10900K and 32 GB ddr4 ram.. But now my thoughts:

1, Is it meanigfull to update now? and if 14900K or AM5? 

2, The current platform would deliver Wifi conectivity - paired with a 2,5G and 10G LAN conector

3, 10900K should be enough for my usecase scenario with 10 cores... and if i down clock and underwolt it the True spirit will kep it quet and chill..

4, plenty M2 and PCIE conectivity...

5, 2x thunderbolt 3 for conecting an external GPU for folding  

6, its my own HW so no doubts about the state of it..

any chance on moving away from TrueNAS and moving to a "true" Hypervisor like ESXi or Proxmox? Then you might want to look for a board with good IMMOU groups.

 

Doesn't really matter for TrueNAS + a few simple containers but if you want to virtualize all the things then it will. I tried moving my server to Proxmox but my board puts everything useful in one group

 

consumer boards are all over the place and price doesn't really effect how good/bad the groups are (there are ~$120 boards with better groups than >$200) so it might be worth considering at least 

@The Pook - how do i find out if the godlike has good IMMOU groups? 

Please share with me your thoughs, ideas, recomendations

Thank you.
