    Tesla cards have no video output. Also, it has a passive heatsink needing chassis fans to keep it cool.
     
    People hack the BIOS to make them VMWare compliant mostly... not to use them in a desktop.

    That won't do. It needs ducted air from server-class fans.
     
    Totally different class of cooling.

    if no physical damage is visually present it would probably be fine...
     
    They're not super sensitive to G-shock... You'd likely see damage physically on the cpu from the fall that would indicate if it was damaged

    Are either of you guys overclocking CPU cache?  Most instant shutdowns without warnings are a result of cache related issues.

    If you use it and hate it... (which I doubt... it's not a bad platform...) why wait 10 years to switch setups?
     
    It's not too hard to sell things online and buy something else.

    The cheapest if you're on a budget. RAM speed makes little difference to performance in most games.

    AlexCo reacted to mariushm in How many GB memory does Ryzen 1800X Maximum support?   
    Yes, like I said, even though the architecture allows up to 64 bit , all processor manufacturers simplify their processors' design to use less bits so the actual total memory that processors can play with. The most common values are 40 bit (1TB) and 48 bit (256 TB)  but there were some processors with as little as 36 bits (some Intel cpus).
     
    For that particular Intel processor, the maximum physical memory is 128 GB because the CPU has a memory controller with 4 channels, which allows for 4 x 2 x 16 GB = 128 GB of memory. The actual memory the processor can play with (includes page file and other things) is much larger than that.
    With Ryzen, AMD simply decided to go in the middle with just 2 channels, each with 2 slots, so you have a maximum of 64 GB.
     
    Registered or Buffered memory sticks aren't supported.
     
    Yeah, Ryzen supports officially 2667 Mhz for single rank , 1 memory per channel (2 sticks in total) .. 2400 Mhz for dual rank, 1 memory per channel , and then we have 2133 Mhz for single rank/ 4 memory sticks and 1866 Mhz for dual rank/4 memory sticks.
    This doesn't mean higher frequency memory sticks aren't supported through. It will just take a couple of weeks for BIOSes to bring better memory compatibility
