    Try with just one gpu maybe?

    I experienced this problem with one GPU, but it happened far less often.

    I have this issue sometimes and its mostly ram related

    Very interesting. When you say it's RAM related, you mean that the RAM is corrupted? How do I go about testing this? Would the regular "memory checks" work just as well?

  2. I've had this intermittent problem where my PC will stop sending a display signal to my monitors (monitors are powered and display NO SIGNAL), but the computer fans and lights continue to run normally. The power LEDs remain on, yet holding the power button won't turn the machine off. I need to go to the PSU, shut it off there, turn it back on, then hit the case's power button.

     

    I've run stress tests on my PC (Intel Burn Test) and monitored the temps, and the Tdie never go above 70oC (as measured by HWINFO).

     

    My feeling is that the PSU is to blame. I fear that it might be a little too close to the power draw, and my unit is a bit of a bargain bin choice to begin with (EVGA 750 BQ).

     

    I've had this problem with two separate GPUs, so I feel safe ruling that out.

     

    My question to the wise folk of the forum: Do these symptoms sound like a PSU problem to you as well? What wattage PSU do you think I should go for? 1000W? 1200W? I'd like to upgrade my RX 480 to something like a RTX 2070 or a second 2080 sometime soon. I'm thinking of the SuperNOVA P2 series, but rather not spend the cash if you all think e.g. an 800W will do.

     

    My build:

    CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X @ 3.4GHz

    MoBo: MSI X399 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (MS-7B09)

    PSU: EVGA 750W BQ

    RAM: 32Gb DDR4

    GPU (Display): RX 480

    GPU (Secondary, Compute): RTX 2080

    Monitor 1: DELL U2412M

    Monitor 2: ASUS MG28U

    Drives: Seagate ST2000DM006-2DM164, Crucial_CT1050MX300SSD1, PM961 NVMe SAMSUNG 256GB, ST8000VN0002-1Z8112, ST8000VN0002-1Z8112

     

    Power Estimates:

    PC PartPicker has these wattage estimates for me:

     

    A total of 729W (I didn't include my drives).

     

    AMD Threadripper 1950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor 22W - 180W
    Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler 5W - 10W
    MSI X399 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (MS-7B09) 17W - 70W
    Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 Memory 29W
    Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8 GB NITRO+ OC Video Card
    MSI Duke RTX 2080
    56W - 225W
    53W - 215W  
  3. Yooo' hey Nicky Light, whaddup!

    It'd be dope if you could send a NEW Razer Blade 14 my way (although if you have a beat-up one, I wouldn't mind that either!

    I'm guessing you wanna know what I'd do with it... well, I'll be straight with you: it'll be a heavy mix of LinusTech and Cat Videos, with a peppering of some fun CUDA development for some fun biophysics simulations.

    DUDE(S)! PICK ME AND YOU WILL FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT IT! I'll totally mention LinusTechTips everytime someone mentions that rad laptop you sent me... damn I'll probs even make up a little song and dance or something. Unless you don't want me to. Then I won't. (Ok, only sometimes, but quiet and under my breath).

    Good luck with the forum trouble and may Muad'dhib give you water (or something... I dunno, I like Dune and I saw Luke read it, so I thought that would give me brownie points... unless I get deductions for pandering, in which case... IT WAS WORTH IT)!

    EDIT: FYI, I installed NoScript specially for this!

  4. I personally replaced my Elementary OS install with Lubuntu... Elementary is BEAUTIFUL, but it's just too buggy for me. It's subtle, and you don't notice it at first, but eventually the same old bugs become too much to bother with.

     

    On the other hand, Lubuntu is just so increiblly responsive and lightweight. Easily get 3 more hours out of my battery, and hardly have any trouble with responsiveness.

  5. Haha believe me, I know. This is an assignment for school and we have to read through that database in this particular function. The database has to be organized like that unfortunately. I did figure it out though (it only took the entire day). I have one question for you though. I have a list of tuples written like this [((name, gender), count)), ((name, gender), count))]. I basically want to take the elements out of each member. So (name, gender) and then count. I can't seem to figure out how to do that though. Any suggestions??

     

    Ok, so given a list

     

    name_rank_list = [(('freda', 'female'), 2), (('ted', 'male'), 1)]

    you can get the "name gender" tuple and rank with this super simple for loop

    for name_couple in name_rank_list:   name_gender, rank = name_couple   print "Name and gender tuple:"   print name_gender   print "Rank is {}".format(rank)

    EDIT:

    If you need the index to update the value, all you have to do is use enumerate:

     

    updated_name_rank_list = name_rank_listfor name_couple_id, name_couple in enumerate(name_rank_list):      name_gender, rank = name_couple      rank += 1  #or someother change to the rank   updated_name_rank_list[name_couple_id] = (name_gender, rank)

    just remember to never edit the list you're iterating over (this the reason for "update_name_rank_list"), that's bad practice that can result in infinite loops or inconsistancies in your array

  6. Wow, very cool post... definetly shows that 4+ multithreading is a trend that has been around for longer than I would have thought. Great!

     

    I'm going to bide my time to see if I can get something on the cheap used or on BF/CM, but I'm leaning towards the Xeon unless I get a killer deal on an 4690K. The main probelm with the K-series is that cooling does add cost to the card value.

  7. but before you buy them new check to see if anyone is selling used in your are you can probably get a hundred dollars off if you buy used

     

    I'd be very down to buy used (particularly for a locked card like the Xeon), but my local market is dry as can be... trying to find some stuff on /r/hardwareswap, but that's not proving great either atm (atleast not for Xeons)

     

  8. On a tight budget, I can get for nearly the same price:

    CONFIG A ($350 CAD):

    • Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3

    or

     

    CONFIG B ($330 CAD):

    •  i5-4690K ($280 CAD)
    •  Raijintek Tisis CPU Cooler ($50 CAD)

    Now these two configurations would cost me nearly the same thing. Which should I go for, considering that this is primarily for a gaming rig?

     

    On the face of it, it sort of seems like the Xeon is a no-brainer, but even though games are better utilising more cores, I don't think 4+ is very useful, and the i5 will have better core speeds OC'd, so that might also be the route to go.

     

    Also, is should I work on another cooler? It's heavily discounted, and I've heard it compared to the Noctua D12, but I'm not sure whether to believe that stuff.
