    Liquid metal sucks long term.

    Oh yeah it does effect thermals with nickel. Maybe not short term, but after a while it gets really horrid. My original wall.of text states this. Ends up bonding in certain spots, causing gaps between the surfaces. I had to sand my water block to remove the mounds. The CPU still has small dot...

    Liquid metal sucks long term.

    So I should have lapped everything first.... Problem is, thermal Grizzly says that it is fine to use with nickel. And with copper, it forms an alloy with it / soaks into it.

    Hypervisor preference fight - GO!

    The reason I don't like Hyper-V as a workstation product is because it sticks the host OS on top of the hypervisor and ends up slowing down the host.

    Liquid metal sucks long term.

    The Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut was great for about 2 - 2.5 years. Temps were very good. Then around 6 months or so ago, my temps started getting whacky. Thought it might be my water cooling system needed flushing so I did that and it may have helped a bit. I also cleaned and reapplied the...

    Upgrade cooler for Ryzen 3800X ?

    You can also try doing a negative voltage offset of 0.05v to 0.1v in your BIOS. That should lower your temps and also make it so it can hold higher boost longer. Another thing you can do is install a much better fan on your cooler. Something that does at least 80cfm with good static pressure...

    recommend 10gb nics for esxi 8.0.3j

    I generally buy DAC and SFPs on eBay. They are usually way cheaper than buying new and I have not gotten a faulty one, not have I had any die in the past 5+ years.

    Hypervisor preference fight - GO!

    Moving this discussion here from a different thread. My preferences are: 1. For VM servers - Hyper-V on Server 2025 Datacenter Reasons: A. Windows Server VMs do not require a license (unlimited) B. Clustering / Failover works very well once configured properly. C. Just about as quick as bare...

    Hyper-V cluster and OpnSense migration?

    Just to update this, I got it figured out later that day. Had to disable some hardware acceleration for the NICs and also enable MAC spoofing (think that was what it was) and then everything just started working as expected.

    Open air bench cases... So close.

    I currently have a cheapo open air test bench case and because the card slots have an edge that hangs down just a tiny bit too far and also because the PSU mount is right next to where the CPU cooler is, which makes changing CPUs and coolers a pain without removing the PSU, I decided to look for...

    Hyper-V cluster and OpnSense migration?

    I've got a 3-node Hyper-V cluster running on Server 2025 Datacenter. One of the VMs is OpnSense. Whenever I try migrating the OpnSense server to another host, it loses connection. I've verified the vswitches are identical between the hosts as well as identical physical switch settings. It is...

    Using ChatGPT to make an app

    Just use a parental control program and you will be able to block whatever you want. Most of them will block a ton of web pages be default and you have to white-list everything you want allowed. If you already have a paid for security package that you can also install on your phone, you can...

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Don't think I have every had a really bad one in regards to overclocking. Have had to work on some more than others though. It is more of a not getting a "golden sample" for the most part.

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Because the Turbo button was meant to down clock...aka, Turbo XT.

    Online based FAX setup - please help

    Looks like most of the "free" ones have a limit of 10 pages total or less for free www.fax.plus says 10 pages in one place but then 30 pages in their comparison page. If you need to receive faxes, you have to go to a paid plan. It seems like it would be fairly simple to set up. For rolling...
