Looks like you started way later with computers than me haha. The first PC that was not shared but fully mine was an Athlon 64 X2 5000+, 2GB RAM, Geforce6150 integrated with Windows Vista lol (circa 2008). Had the same board for a number of years upgraded all the way to a Phenom II quad core and HD7770 crossfire setup. Then I got to Intel in 2013

I've been on Intel between 01-2013 and 11-2017 so I have used some toothpaste models, like the i5-4460 and the later Xeon E3-1241v3 I had until I bought a R7 1700.

I agree I guess that's why I don't main a PC with Intel ToothPaste® technology

This is likely the cause of poor contact between the die and IHS, like @Dioneyesos is describing. A delid and lap would be perfect.

The R5 2600 is a no brainer. Get that one. The cooler is sufficient for a mild overclock even which closes the gap with the 2600X. The 1700X is nice if you have a workload that can benefit from the extra cores, but just for gaming, it's not the best choice.

Quinn of Snazzy Labs did see throttling on the Core i3 Mac Mini, which may or may not be an outlier. My i5 model seems fine though. And the iMac Pro 8-core doesn't count to be personally now that the i9 iMac 5K exists. Paired with Vega 48 and your own RAM kit, you save quite a wad of cash to achieve almost performance parity. The 5K runs cooler too.

Does it matter? Ashes is multithreaded to a degree where basically all non-SMT/HT CPUs don't do amazingly well. You can't draw any conclusions without comparing multiple benchmarks.

Exactly, LMG has literally no power at all here. My Mac Mini 2018 agrees. Sometimes, I just fire up my gaming PC to play a game through Steam in-home streaming and that works well enough when I play more casual stuff. Except when you have devices that are stupidly thin and have inadequate cooling. The only exception so far is the 27" iMac 2019 which doesn't throttle the i9-9900K. It stays at base clock and high 80s max and handles the Vega 48 like a champ. Everything else is a small furnace at this point.

4c/4t CPUs are obsolete for gaming in 2019 imo, when looking at AAA titles anyway. You could get a 2060 now and get a Zen2 based Ryzen chip later this year to remove the bottleneck again.

You must live in a weird market. Even one gen newer Nehalem and Westmere based servers go for less than €100 in single CPU 8-16GB RAM configs. These older Hapertown based boxes are given away or go for around €100 when fully maxed out at 32GB-64GB and dual CPU (yay 300W idle :P)

Since these use hotswap PSUs, all you can use is the official HPE cables through the mainboard. If you got the non-hotswap PSU model, you're SOL as that 500W unit is all you can really use.

These servers are Core 2 era. Very hot, loud and inefficient. They're not worth anything either.

Reboot and try again

Simply connecting extra displays does not impact performance at all, so that's out of the question.

There is no alternative anymore these days. 16:10 is pretty much dead, so it's either 16:9 or 3:2.

The only other 3:2 laptops that I know of are the Huawei Matebook 13 and Matebook X Pro.

The 9360 uses 8th gen Kaby-R CPUs and is basically the 2018 model, the 9380 is the current model with slightly updates processors. Other differences are somewhat small.

Take a look at the Dell XPS 13, Dell even sells it with Ubuntu pre installed I think, which is known as the XPS 13 Developer Edition.

In that case, your primary drive's EFI partition contains the macOS files. This is why I personally disconnect all attached drives except for the one I'm using for hackintosh. You'll be seeing macOS now until you completely destroy the partition table on your boot drive sadly.

Yeah, coin mining hits your hardware hard, so forget about doing anything else. Also, there is not a single Mac that has sufficient cooling at sustained high load.

Your iMac will catch fire if you do so. The best coin to mine is no coin.

I've had tons of false claims on Unigine footage. Just appeal, tell them to slobber on a fat one and wait.

you will need to cross flash the card to IT-mode so you don't have to setup RAID arrays to see any drives on it at all in Windows.

That's because your HDD still has a hidden EFI partition that links to macOS. Remove said partition or destroy the entire partition map with something like gparted live CD.

Dual W3670s in one server? That's impossible, as W-series chips are 1S only (single socket) Basically, a LAMP server on Linux is all you need. Automate SSL certificates with certbot and you're good to go. I hosted my website on a Celeron based NUC and it ran rather well. A webserver doesn't need much with a typical Wordpress site. A machine that's constantly connected to the open internet will become a massive security hazard as soon as support ends. Also, Windows server is massive overkill for a webserver. It can be run on Linux with significantly less resource usage and full SSL certificate automation. Old hardware is also a non-argument as these Xeons are plenty powerful and well supported still. Exactly. Winblows Sucker 2008 is pretty much dead. Only an idiot still installs it in 2019 or someone who only needs it to be on a LAN for a specific task/legacy app.
