  1. 2699v4 seems a pretty bad value right now, because CPU alone is pretty expensive and no kits are based around it. Might be a better idead to pick up one of those dual socket boards with 2680v4 combo cpus (for a total of 28 cores) but that's a pretty specific workload to use all of these cores and such setup comes with it's own challenges. But you're correct in the sense, that these are not comparable, given that aliexpress option is half used (cpus at least). But if you're chasing a budget, used should always be considered an option, as Linus himself hinted at. But all things said and done; aliexpress choice of used CPUs and motherboards is pretty amazing.
  2. You guys should also check out these cheap Xeon 2011-3 kits from aliexpress. You can get amazing value for money for the mobo+cpu+ram combo. Some kits like this one can be had for as little as 75$. If you want something newer, faster and a little bit nicer, you can also pick one of the 14 core broadwell kits for around 100$. I think if you look past used cpus and non brand name motherboards, you can get an amazing value for money system (especially if gaming is not the primary focus) for quite literally dirt cheap. For 500$ you could easily fit a 3060/3060Ti, a decent PSU and a case in this system and you'd get a pretty good gaming setup, albeit with some cpu bottleneck, where single core performance matters more. In multithreaded applications, this 14 core cpu is very close to 8 core ryzen 5th gens (i measured ~13000 points in cinebench r23 with dual channel), which isn't so bad for 100$ all in.
  3. I'm surprised there isn't a big outcry from the sex work community against Linus for "devaluing" their work, like it happend when bella thorne joined.
  4. Don't forget, that you cannot combine current capability of all rails, as there are combine limits as well.
  5. Nope, Sandisk had mass produced QLC flash for higher capacity microsd cards since 2009. So economy of scale was there. TLC and QLC was not viable for SSDs back then because controller technology was not there yet.
  6. QLC is nothing new. Sandisk had QLC based microsd cards 12 years ago. It' really quite simple. QLC flash, because it is by design worse than TLC, needs more spare blocks on die and stronger ECC to combat more errors. Couple that with more complex flash controllers and firmware, it's obvious why ssds based around it are not cheaper.
  7. Did you try disabling truetone? Mine was also damn awful with truetone enabled (way way too warm for my taste). Disabled that and it's fine.
  8. Just to update this topic; It turns out, CPU was not seated properly to the socket. After trying _everything_ and removing cpu a couple of times, it magically started working.
  9. Even if you partition the card at 16GB or thereabouts, there's no guarantee that controller won't just "write" data to the remaining 240GB of empty space. Throw it in the trash and make a dispute on ebay or where ever did you buy it.
  10. Motherboard is listing the CPU as supported (chinese do a wierd hack with 6/7 series to work with 2011 based cpus).
  11. No manual to speak of, googling post codes for different bios manufactures does not yield anything.
  12. Yes, this psu runs a different system perfectly.
  13. Thats one option, but dealing with chinese vendors and shipping the board back to china is something i'd want to avoid if necessery.
  14. It's a Corsair 850W unit. All the components were tested in a different known good system, so they should not be an issue.
  15. No, you don't. This is a single cpu motherboard
