That's basically what I do, I have 3 1-liter PCs with 7500T CPUs picked up from eBay for like $130 apiece. The 7th gen is much cheaper as it can't run Windows 11. Added 16GB RAM to hit 24GB and both a 512GB SATA and NVMe SSD in ZFS RAID1, and use them in a Proxmox cluster. Very low power, take...

I had to RMA my Corsair K70 RGB Mk.2 with cherry blues twice so far for repeating keys, and they told me I can't RMA it a third time as it's out of warranty. I don't know if there's a QC problem with this one model or Corsair as a whole, but I absolutely recommend against buying this particular...

Exactly my point. UE5 TSR is extremely impressive (like DLSS2, and unlike FSR) and runs on shaders.

I still manage all my cables and my case doesn't have a window either. But you're right, I can't imagine it actually makes any difference. Anyway yeah, dual-tower air coolers are huge. Love my NH-D15.

I have a NH-D15 but the U12S redux would work fine too. Worst case scenario it boosts like 100Mhz lower, and as I get older I realize that I simply don't care.

Don't increase the base voltage, that takes away the whole point of curve optimizer. Leave it stock, set PBO to motherboard, then drop your 2 (or 4) best curves by X and the remaining cores by Y, where Y>X, and play around with it, benchmarking in between each change to ensure you aren't...

You got 4.9Ghz all-core stable? That's amazing. You clearly won the silicon lottery.

DOOM doesn't need it if you have a well-matched GPU and resolution, but if you're running like a 2060S and want to hit 4k, this may get you there.

Definitely EVGA, the FTW3 Ultra air-cooled. Best warranty and support, bar none. Sure as hell wouldn't buy Gigabyte. Their RMA is a huge pain in the ass.

I don't know about QNAP (although I suspect it is) but Synology is just mdraid behind the scenes. You can pop the disks out of your Synology NAS, drop them into a linux box, and your volumes will show up. This apples to SHR1 and SHR2 also. Likely anyone on this forum could build a quiet, cool...

Yes, I expect FSR to be useful in exactly the way you describe. I do not expect it to be magical like DLSS2, but options are always good.

If you got a Gigabyte card it's PROBABLY fine now, but I suggest getting 8-pin PCIe power extenders and leave them plugged in 100% of the time just to be extra careful. Other than the bizarre power plugs my Gigabyte 3080 has been a great card-- but they made me RMA it.

DLSS2 is black magic. It can't be easy to copy something that seems like it shouldn't even be possible.

If it was sitting steady at 60C when basically idle something was wrong somewhere. If it was a brief spike, that's normal for Zen3 and you just need to get out of the "intel mindset". I had the same problem.

Manual overclocking all cores you will lose lightly-threaded boost speeds, yes. That's the tradeoff CO and CTR are designed to address. 60C on the desktop at idle indicates your cooling is a problem, assuming you're seeing those numbers in hwinfo64 or ryzen master and that they aren't for like...

Of course that would be a win. That would be downright amazing! But given Intel's past performance, I would be less surprised if could levitate off the ground by flapping my arms.

You don't really need to overclock Zen3 in most situations. Set PBO to motherboard (maxes out power limits) then play around with curve optimizer, typically your "best" cores (star and dot in Ryzen master) should use a less negative offset than the other cores. I'm using -10 (best) and -20...

The "SoC" on Ryzen is the I/O and memory controller which is housed on a completely separate chip on the same substrate, built on the 12nm process to save cost. It has its own power settings, thus the SoC settings in your BIOS.

Upgrade to latest GA BIOS for your motherboard, earlier AGESA revisions had tons of problems with blue and black-screen reboots. Those were most common at idle, not playing a game, but still worth a shot.

3dfx Voodoo 1, currently safely boxed in my parents' basement. Keep it for nostalgia purposes. Have a Canopus Voodoo 2 down there too. Damn, I loved that card.

I have a GTX770 as my backup, plan to use it when I step-up to an EVGA 3080i. Sold my old GTX1080 and GTX1060 for truly insane prices already. Amazingly it looks like I could get >$100 for the 770, but really not worth my time.

Your old haswell computer will work fine, but it'll use a ton of power and take up a lot of space just for a NAS. Like I posted earlier in the thread, I suggest using UnRAID to roll your own NAS. It is largely proprietary and you do need to pay for it, but it isn't expensive. You can run VMs or...

This is true, but in a home setup replacing piecemeal you often have a bunch of different sized drives. Typically I do see more space after replacing each drive. That's why I like SHR (or UnRAID, I suppose) for home use. Once ZFS supports adding drives to a pool and increasing space it'll be...

Yes, if you buy a bunch more drives. Can't replace piecemeal.

IMO, TrueNAS (and thus ZFS) is a poor choice for most home users, because you can't add disks to a pool and get any additional storage out of them unless you replace all of them, meaning you need to replace (or add) multiple disks at a time, which is a pain in the ass. SHR addresses that...

Synology supports SHR, "synology hybrid RAID", which is just standard mdraid behind the scenes but offers a ton of flexibility with different size drives as it breaks up each physical disk into contiguous chunks and RAIDs those. This can greatly increase the amount of usable space without...

Synology has a nicer UI, but you get much faster and more feature-rich hardware for your money with QNAP. You can't go wrong with either. Also, don't expose your NAS to the internet.

Yeah. Unfortunately nobody seems to be supporting explicit multi-GPU either. Which is a shame as it's pretty cool tech and given how difficult it is to drop process nodes and how expensive huge GPU dies are to produce, GPUs with multiple "chiplets" linked together may actually be the future. On...

Thread started september 2020 so I think everybody had some inkling about COVID. The inventory crunch is simply unprecedented.

If you have a metal backplate (every 3080 but the MSI) it is, of course, a heatsink, if it makes contact with your card. Question is how much that matters.

110C actually, on micron GDDR6X. I still wouldn't be comfortable that high, but that's just me.

They aren't talking about gaming, they're mining cryptocurrency, probably Eth which is very memory-intensive.

Can't you underclock the memory a little bit to control temps? Obviously that will impact speed. Micron GDDR6X TJmax is 110C so 100C is technically probably OK, but I would personally be uncomfortable going much over 90C.

I can't even elucidate the degree to which I'm not fucking around with my gigabyte 3080. I already had to RMA it once due to the power plug issue, now I have 8-pin extension cables just so I never need to unplug it again. I'm not touching that card until I upgrade it one day. I treat it as...

Holy crap, almost 6 months!

4.9-5.0 is low? That's as high as Zen3 ever gets without sub-ambient cooling. I'd say 4.6/4.7 is low, 4.8 is normal without tweaking, and 4.9/5.0 you did good. There isn't a ton of headroom in these chips, they boost pretty close to their limits at stock.

If you don't have PBO on, you should work on your cooling and case ventilation. But if you do, the chip will basically boost until it hits 90C, unless you have extremely high-end cooling.

I found the post in 4 seconds utilizing my powerful internet detective skills searching "usb" on r/AMD in the past week. It was the second link. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/lnmet0/an_update_on_usb_connectivity_with_500_series/

The developer claims it's better than turning on PBO and tuning curve optimizer, and it does all the work for you, but you need to keep the program resident 100% of the time in the background. When I tried it my computer instantly crashed, so I don't have any personal experience with it. What I...

There was a post on the AMD subreddit indicating AMD is aware of USB issues on 550/570 platforms and trying to replicate. So it's probably a motherboard, BIOS, or AGESA issue, since it happens with both Zen2 and 3. Nobody knows what triggers it, I haven't had the problem on my Asus B550-F board...
