  1. Any competent retailer is going to have a Ts&Cs page: https://www.pc-canada.com/p/care/terms.asp
  2. Curious if anyone has heard from the grapevine anything regarding stock for 5900 or 5950s? I’m about to have a full new rig on-hand and am stuck between buying a 3000 series as a temp stand-in, or being a total asshat and paying a scalper, thus perpetuating the horseshit (serious moral dilemma going on about that). Is it total radio silence from AMD or have rumors leaked out anywhere?
  3. Budget (including currency): Not super important (Cad) Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR with poorly multi threaded apps, VMs, some light editing work, and some quasi heavy lifting FPGA compiling. Other details Needs to fit in a 4U chassis, I dont care about noise, I have clean air and dont want to have to deal with maintenance on a liquid system. Win 10LTSC Motherboard just came into stock again (ordered) so wanted to validate the rest of the build to see if anyone has suggestions for edits... Already ordered: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Plan to order: 5900x or 5950x once they bloody well come into inventory. Will end up going with a 3800 as an interm solution if need be. Core wise I suspect a 5900 will get the job done given my workloads (upgrading from a 4930K). Noctua NH-U12S (I'm 75% pretty confident I can get this to fit into the 4U chassis, some other guy has a post about getting this to "just" fit. If need be I can rock some shorter standoffs & kapton as needbe) G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 CL14 Western Digital WD BLACK SN850 NVMe M.2 2280 2TB 2x Seagate IronWolf Pro 4TB on striped sofware RAID (Windows?) for bulk storage of editing stuff. 2080 Super (until 3900s are available.) Rocking 2x 120 and 2x80 deltas for cooling, currently tied directly into an 850W Seasonic (GX series) with their tach and PWM pins busted out for the MB. Really this is mostly a question about ram and CPU cooler I suspect. I dont think there's a need for anything faster than the SN850 for my applications Would love any insight!
  4. The concern I have is not being able to supply enough PCIE lanes, https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-viii-dark-hero-model/spec/ Having a hard time finding an MB that would allow 1x16 and 2 others at x4
  5. Budget (including currency): High Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Custom VR environments, high end simulation (high single core demand), VMs Other details : Hey all, having some issues deciding on an x570 for a new build for a 5950. Id like to be mindful of “adequate” memory overclocking (don’t need to set any records here but id rather not leave a bunch of potential performance sitting on the table unused.) It will be running some heavy lifting single core tasks (custom VR stuff) along with some all core rendering and VMs etc. Not super constrained on $$$ but id like to keep this on AM4 vs going to SP3 (single core performance is top priority). GPU will probably be 3080/3080. I want to run a pcie capture card (probably elegato 4K60 (PCIE x4) and (ideally) a 4 port full speed USB expansion card PEXUSB3S44V (PCIE x4). I can probably get by with a 1G or 2.5g NIC (10G would be nice but I’m not convinced that’s going to be in the cards from what iv been able to hunt down so far.) Don’t care about wifi. 1TB of fast storage should be enough. Min 64gb Ram (TBD on what) I was looking at the dark hero but id have to go to run the 3080 on x8 and from what I “think” I understand of this, even with PCIE x4 that would be limiting memory performance in high workloads on the 3080 (how much is unclear to me.) So should I not worry about the x8 on the 3080? Is there another MB out there with more open lanes? Do I need to loose the Elgato card and run capture off of USBC? Thanks!
  6. Hey all, Starting a new build targeted at VR and was hoping to get some insight, especially regarding Ram selection. -CPU looking at a 3900X -MB Asus Prime X570-P -GPU 2080 Ti Ram... So I'm struggling a bit with latency calculations. I'm currently looking at F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR (3200, CL16-18-18-38) and then hoping to be able to get additional headroom with tweaking, however not sure if there are other (better) options out there. Thanks!
  7. Hey all, Need a new phone and wanting something that I can root out of the box. External storage are a must for me and I am beyond sick and tired of ads so want something I can root and run a DNS blocker on. I "think" from what I'm reading that the Note 9 Exynos is rootable, but curious if I would experience network issues with it in Canada? Also if there's a better phone option out there would love to hear suggestions. thanks!
  8. Thanks Genwyn! It's always nice to be able to ask a question and get a direct answer! 1080s it is!
  9. Hey all, I have a pile of machines operating on Win 10 Enterprise LTSB. We are rolling out some new stuff that requires more GPU kick vs their old HD7950s. At this point it looks like something in the range of a GTX1660 or better would work. HOWEVER Nvidia does not have support for LTSB (or officially anything for any Enterprise build it seems.) Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could get to run on an OS as old as 1607? I don't care what team. Thanks!
  10. Thanks! The screen is an ELO 1502L (15.6" 1920x1080 touchscreen). Expensive for a "meh" monitor (~$700 CAD) but well built and available in quantities of one.
  11. Hey all, Made a post a while back talking about a portable VR setup we were working on for a client. Thought there may be some interest here now that its built (and again thanks for the suggestions re CPU and GPU). Specs: -i7 8700K -Mini ITX Asus Z390-i -RTX 2080 (ZOTAC Blower Style) -Samsung 970PRO SSD -15" touchscreen -500W 1U PSU -Built into a Pelican 1510 (carry-on) System goes from zero (latches closed) to hero (in game) in under 60 seconds. Cooling is accomplished by two 70mm PWM Deltas (push/pull) with air-pathing for a cold---> hot section. In VR the fans don't really throttle up much, in bench marking they do make some noise, however do NOT go to full throttle (at least at ambient Victoria weather) All components are affixed to a floating 1/8" aluminum plate with CNC mounts for tie downs. The plate is left floating for impact and vibration isolation (closed cell foam all around the plate). All components are then sandwiched to the floating plate through a thermally conductive gel isolation pad to both give added vibration isolation and so components such as the MB can shed heat from the rear of the PCB into the plate (which has cold air channeled over it.) There is then a plexi "false floor" that is stood off from the pelican case to again sandwiched all the components (and the aluminum plate) down. Additional foam is held under compression to help dampen against impact. Plexi was chosen mainly to smooth airport security.
  12. Hey all, Working on a funny build and wanted a second opinion before pulling the trigger on some hardware. I have a client that needs some pretty high end hardware installed into the bottom of a pelican case to deploy a VR training solution that allows rapid setup/tear-down by a non technical person. The idea is basically to have a false bottom where all the hardware lives to leave an open void for stowage of the headset/wands/keyboard (and some of our proprietary gear), then have a touchscreen mounted in the lid. The client currently uses Oculus hardware so we will also be mounting the sensors in the lid as well. The unit needs to be able to survive rough handling, sub zero storage, etc. These are being designed/fabricated for an industrial client so reliability and performance are more important than cost. Pretty sure I have the mechanical side figured out at this point (we are an engineering shop) but I wanted to vet my hardware choices. Current plan is to go with: Asus Z370-I (ITX) I9-9900K (we need very high single core performance, the simulation software it will be running has very heavy single core loads) Samsung 970 Pro M.2 Asus RTX 2080Ti (blower style) mounted flat Via riser cables Dyantron K199 1U cooler (good to 95W TDB) G-Skill 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-4266 iStarUSA TC-1U70PD8 700W (1U PSU) Integrated monitor: ELO 1502L (15.6" 1920x1080 touchscreen) Anyone see any major issues here? Thanks!
  13. Hey all, Have a strange project where I need to run a 2080TI from a 1U server PSU. Looking at using an IStarUSA TC-1U70PD8 700W http://www.istarusa.com/en/xeal/products.php?model=TC-1U70PD8 It has 4x 12V rails each rated at 16A max. Its a super compact build so I am going to have to chop the lines and re-crimp new Molex Minifit-Jr plugs anyway. How bad of an idea is it to bridge some of these buses together to supply the GPU? I'm open to using another PSU, but again it needs to be 1U and have enough "Skookum" to run a 2080TI along with whatever the fanciest of the i9s would pull. Thanks
  14. Hey Linus, If you're interested in giving it another whirl... Innovation Cooling, LLC IE: IC Diamond publishes thermal conductivity of 4.5 W/m-K. This stuff: http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/t-global-technology/S606C-30/1168-1382-ND/3042211 is 5.0 W/m-K. And this stuff: http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/t-global-technology/TG-NSP-60-1LB/1168-2116-ND/5280212 is 6.0 W/m-K. We've used both at our lab in Victoria with good results. Also next day shipping with Digikey
