Thanks !
Thing about white cases, they are dirty all the time. You get about 18 hours of lookin sweet, then dirty again...

Nice case Niner !
That needs daily dusting I bet !
👍
edit : There's no difference between how much a white anything and a quality black anything show dust.
My truck...
Never heard that one before.

It's not the standoffs.
The machine ran 100% until I put on the waterblocks about a year later....
This is a heatsink rigidity issue. I know Der8auer had the exact same issues when he was doing socket P(3647) Xeon OC runs.
Now that I'm back on OEM...
Yep, that was my first thought too.
Been done, all pins are flawless so are all the lands.

This machine runs flawlessly except for the missing ram. Every CPU test runs perfectly, , except for the missing ram. 4k video encode it crushes, Except for the missing ram.
I've swapped the modules...
Ok, self Necro here.
------
I do know this was a common problem with the socket 3647 chips when watercooled. The CPU pins didn't all connect to the ram slots without a super rigid cooler.
Machine still runs great (typing on it now)

This machine is now back on air, oem coolers. The ram slots...
While this is a novel implementation of the technology, diamond substrates are old news.
The repeaters that amplify fiberoptic signals under the ocean use diamond substrate thermoelectric cooled lasers.

Not only can CVD diamond be "sprayed" onto any refractory surface, the diamond can be "...
Interesting.
7200+ pins of danger !!
All good, back on air.
:D
Pic of one of the blocks after fittings removed :

Nice filter......
Algae and rust.

Conclusions :
1> The idea that 50% or greater propylene glycol is automatically algae proof is not true. Resistant...
I have torn it all apart.
------
I have loads more pics, will upload.
It looks like algae or rust or both, but no evidence of galvanic corrosion.
The cpu's are out, blocks off, just cleaning out one of the CPU blocks.......
:D
I've had a couple people tell me most AIO watercoolers are good...
Hahahahaaha !!
I have the update I wanted !
-------------
I have not shut off this machine since the last post. (just shy of 4 years !!)
It's been running 2 video cards folding 24/7.
I've processed several hundred terabytes of 4k video.
I have never looked at, or changed the glycol.
I...
Yea typical.
Yah couldn't have done that back 4 months before threadripper came out when I invested in my Xeon Gold 8 core chips for the same price.
Still.....seems like an upgrade.
5/10
No comeback really, there's a [H]ardcore arcade box crowd.

My rig's back up.Just redoing the joystick configs.
I was at https://www.ultimarc.com/ yesterday......they make 'flight' joysticks in the '360' line now....looks like I'm getting a pair for 'BattleZone'......hahah
:ROFLMAO:
Shucked and mounted.....VESA for the win....
I have a new piece of 'smoked acrylic' on order to redo the overlay bezel.
I'm just cleaning and loading stuff back in.
Games this weekend !!
:D
Yea baby !
I've never been happier to see a 4:3 monitor in my life.
I'm just shucking it from the stand.....it actually looks thicker than the last 21' lcd I had in there...no biggie.
(y)
I've actually skied with a tripod...
The last time I 'tomahawked' while wearing a DSLR it was my buddy's 5DmkII with a 100-400mm 'l' lens.
No damage (got sooo lucky !!!)

Back to topic.
Sweet camera, keep evolving it !!
I have Blackmagic bookmarked.
:D
The best thing I see here other than the awesome camera, is the price of it.
12 grand is firmly in the 'prosumer' area.....
Want more super-ultra-high def content ?!!....make the cameras cheap.
RED and Arri are typically out of the price range of avid hobbyists.
If I thought I could ski with...
Those are sweet !!
I've often thought about 'portable' arcade units...I have not seen those iCade units before...very cool !!
----------
Here's a couple pics of the rig......it's a p4.....6 USB ports
.
----------
--------
I had forgotten all about this rig.
It's actually a fairly rare and...
I *think* it's an Intel e6600.....socket 775 something anyways.10 year old video card.
It doesn't need anything to run really.....I picked the rig based on the USB ports.
I'll blow the dust bunnies out and take a pic.
(y)
Hmmmm.....I looked everywhere here, did not find pics of my mame rig.(found a couple red 'x's) heh
I can remedy this !!
Looks sad with no monitor :
------------
So at least I've already modified it for a 100mm VESA mount.
The dust is extra .
------------
I've got a couple feelers out...
I can't wait to see how this goes.
I shoot and process 4k60 allatime.It heats everything up.
I feel we are a year out on 8k....the new high-bitrate SD cards are close....h266 is also close.
I'll be a first adopter of 8k GoPro....letalone my Canons....
:ROFLMAO:
I made a full cabinet MAME arcade rig 8-9 years ago. There's a pic or two here somewhere. I will post more.
In that time I've gone through 3x 21" CRT's and 4x 21" LCD's. Every LCD monitor I bought was basically DOA from 'capacitor plague'. I just opened up the last monitor that died, yep...
Haha !
Any of you guys ever actually tried those special (acid) fluxes ?
I have, I've been soldering for 40 years and never once succeeded in soldering aluminum properly...that's what TIG welders are for. :D
------
I've seen the copper plated aluminum, but more often I believe they are nickel...
I think about 'stimulated emission' all the time !!
Bahaha

The free electron laser has the best theoretical conversion rate, and is tunable to near gamma-ray frequencies.
frequency=energy and 'frequency variablity' means penetration.

The problem is a physical thing. We don't have...
Hee hee...
~500 days since this rig started. Time for an update on this.
This rig has processed several petabytes of video.
I don't use the peltier cooler units, it doesn't need it.
There is no evidence of galvanic corrosion.The glycol is still almost clear.I have not done anything to...
I've got a comment about this.
Bent/non connected pins are not a fatal issue if said rig survives a proper break-in / benchmarking, but you can lose stuff.
I run a watercooled dual xeon gold rig, socket 3647....socket 'P' is very sensitive to mounting stabilities and pressures.
When I got my...
I can't really speak to the whole 1u/2u thang, I don't know.
Mine runs in a caselabs magnum STH-10, which is basically a 6.37 u....
LOL
----
1u seems sketchy to me, even with my mid-tier cpu's, let alone your big ones.
Wait a sec.
Op's name does not check out.
You would think someone with 'honegod' as a name knew about the importance of lapping (or 'honing', haha)
Just jokes, =)

I can make you a video how to do this.
A 29.5" vacuum pump is 700$.
A vacuum chamber to fit the mobo etc. is a couple hundred bux if you make it.
gain: .001 %
Don't fuckin bother.
Listen.
Degassing is a legitimate thing.It's crucial in 'potted-for-space' stuff obviously, and even for...
I've dealt with thermal interfaces for 35 years.
I also own a high vacuum pump capable of degassing TIM's.
Degassing TIM's is essentially irrelevant.
Meeho is 100% correct.This is purely academic.
Surface smoothness and surface flatness are FAR more important.
The repeaters they use under the...
