    7950X3D - AM5 frame (Thermalright / ThermalGrizzly), offset mounting, delidding and other ancillary upgrades?

    It was the 280 (think they are 28mm thick). With my custom, I'm using a 240, but I think its 30mm thick alphacool. Radiator doesn't matter so much when it goes to 95c instantly. So never mount the pump like this, but this is my current setup; As ya can see, I was a wee bit limited on space. I'm...

    7950X3D - AM5 frame (Thermalright / ThermalGrizzly), offset mounting, delidding and other ancillary upgrades?

    I dealt with exactly this. Tho with 7950X non 3D. Everything thermal throttled with -10 curve until I got an optimus signature water block (non de-lidded it is build for both). That Included liquid freezer 2. That said my benchmarks were over what most reviewers benchmarks were getting. So it's...

    Optimus for the win, finally tamed my 7950X

    1st heatsink was the Ice Giant 2nd heatsink was Arctic Liquid Freezer 280mm - Ice Giant actually did better than Arctic for me, but Arctic was way quieter. Also lapped the CPU down to copper. 3rd custom loop with Optimus Signature, alpha cool 240mm Arctic: Optimus: Also decided to upgrade...

    Easy Peasy SD-WAN?

    sdwan should also bond multiple links, so you get more bandwidth, and the better ones will monitor links for which can provide more bandwidth vs latency and with QoS rules route packets intelligently. Velocloud does this per packet, some do it, per flow. Others (sonicwall) just do failover...

    Easy Peasy SD-WAN?

    Velocloud is good & easy, but $$$$. I was able to get a legit copy of the software (don't ask, it's an old copy now) and it was quite easy to d.i.y. Company I work for uses rapidscale, same software. Still expensive, $600 per site, 1gig performance. I've been looking into other solutions, but...

    Anyone suggest file sync software for windows

    Needs to use something other than SSH, machine is on the other side of the planet with 250ms of latency. SSH is just too slow. Needs to be able to resume files. I wont be doing VPN, already tested cisco asa VPN and got 300kb/s over SMB. sftp 700kb/sec. Over HTTP without VPN I got 2mbytes/sec. I...

    Why I still like 1 Gb Ethernet over WiFi

    Bridged is wrong technology you just created a network loop. Bonding is what your looking for, and the switch needs to support whatever method your using too (there are multiple), should you attempt it. Waste of time imho. I don't think bonding is required for multipath, but I never seen it...

    Hotel Gaming Wifi Extender

    Basically every laptop I had, I swap out the wifi adapter with latest intel chip. Rocking an AX210 currently. But I keep a 'TP-Link AC600 USB WiFi Adapter' for when I need some range (which isn't often), has a big antenna and doesn't need drivers on win10/11. I also keep a ugreen adapter for...

I used an Icegiant on my 7950x, PBO -20 curve, thermal throttles 95c, fastest core all core load 5.3ghz. I "upgraded" to Arctic 280mm AIO, PBO -22, thermal throttles...

    Crucial T700 Clocks 12.4 GB/s Sequential Reads in Previews

    Got my T700 today, runs as expected. File copy within drive partition to partition. It's fast, replaces a WD SN750 that felt slow during steam game patching. Jedi survivor took longer to patch than it did to download. Figured it was time for an upgrade. 40c idle, 60c load using Thermalright HR-09

    Cablemod 90° and 180° adapters now for sale/pre-order.

    Week ago I swapped out my old corsair 750 with seasonic vertex 1200, and also added cablemod 180 type b. I was getting random black screen with fans ramping to full speed (on graphics card). Computer was still working fine, I was on a conference call when this happened once and the call...

    Best Current Bang for the Buck cheap phone?

    I love calyxos on my pixel phone. Tho I use a pixel 5. Its specs are good enough for me. I also use a Mous case with their magnetic charging pads (kinda expensive). Might not be the fastest charge, but its great in the car just to slap it on the vent mount and go. Have you tried a custom ROM on...

    Dell IDrac wizards needed

    Two things I would do, first, "Dell EMC Repository Manager" since dell no longer builds the iso and puts them on their support page, ya have to get that program, and build an ISO for your machine. It will fully update everything in it, including NIC firmware. 2nd, if nothing improved, install...

    Upgraded from 5800X to 7800X3D and my scores....don't make any sense?

    Haven't seen this thread talk about temperature yet, make sure your mount is good & not getting any thermal throttle. I get throttle with an ice giant on my 7950x. Also use latencymon and make sure no driver is wreaking your performance. I always install minimum required so I never bother with...

    Anyone running a 4090 on sub 1KW PSU?

No crashes yet, many games played, many videos compressed (handbrake 264). Just not attempted at same time ether. I'm waiting on the right power supply to come out...

    LARGE Corsair & Chieftec case FREE - local pickup only So.Cal

    So I know people are looking for these cases, rather than trashing em, giving them away to a good home. Southern California, 92336, 210 / Cedar exit. PM me. I'm only available till Friday 20th, if not gone by then, after Feb 2nd. (21st - 1st going to be out of the country on vacation)

    ESXI with (PCI) GPU passthrough

    GPU passthrough or PCI passthrough. GPU requires specific supported GPUs and drivers (nvidia grid). That said, I'll assume PCI passthrough... I've only had problems with windows, never rebooting the host. Linux worked fine. If the host reboots, likely bios/motherboard pci bug...

    7950x, Asus TUF, Tustin Microcenter, Mini review

    Runs 24/7, still completely stable at -20. Got a 4090, still on the 750watt supply. I won't be running a stress test till I can get my hands on an atx 3.0 supply I want. Runs just fine and I get the same FPS all the review sites get. For the lulz: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57434775

    7950x, Asus TUF, Tustin Microcenter, Mini review

    I'm completely stable at -20 on the curve. Had a no boot at -25. Still hit 95 on the cooler, but gets there a tad slower & gained like 200 points on cinebench. I can only fit a 280 rad in my case, prob not worth it for me to change to AIO.

    No real issues to speak of other than, don't turn on expo until you update the bios. Runs fine with only one 8pin connected up top, but I'm not overclocking other than to say everything is at default with expo turn on. VRM heatsink gets quite hot; Since I'm currently running commando, I laid a...

    Proxmox drivers for Mellanox from a n00b

    Umm dunno if I'm missing something here, but that driver is for connectx4 and newer, sounds like you have a connectx2 card. I don't know anything about proxmox, but that card is old, proxmox should already have the driver (and I would assume since lspci is detecting it, then it does). My guess...

    Question: Plex 4k Transcoding HTPC

    I think (almost) any CPU can transcode. J5005 (low power quad core) was able to transcode source 4k vp9 from youtube on 2 of the cores at 87% cpu usage after buffer was filled (virtual machine). My main server (VM still) 6 cores of E5-2690v4 ate up all the cpu till buffer was filled, then ran at...
