stupid question, have you changed the cmos battery?

Yeah, in theory your right. But in practice, your statement proved that the 3080 is still a gen3 card since using gen4 has little to no benefit. Check 4090 for a true gen4. precisely...

I'm not an AI, and i approve the post.hehe Yeah it's getting better. scary... Yes, it's very basic, but will work in general.

to synchronize folders between two computers, follow these steps: Create an SSH Key Pair: Ensure that you have SSH keys set up between the two computers. This allows passwordless authentication for rsync. Generate an SSH key pair on the source computer (if not already done): ssh-keygen Copy the public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the destination computer’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Write an Rsync Command: Decide which folder you want to sync from the source to the destination. The basic rsync command structure is: rsync [options] source_directory/ user@destination:/path/to/destination_directory/ Replace source_directory with the local folder path and user@destination with the remote server’s username and hostname or IP address. Test the Rsync Command: Run the rsync command interactively to ensure it works as expected: rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /path/to/your/ssh/key" /local/source_folder user@remote.host:/destination_folder Adjust the options (-avz for archive mode, verbose, and compression) and paths according to your setup. Set Up the Cron Job: Open your crontab for editing: crontab -e Add a line to schedule the rsync command. For example, to sync every day at 2:00 AM: 0 2 * * * rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /path/to/your/ssh/key" /local/source_folder user@remote.host:/destination_folder Save and exit the crontab editor. Verify the Cron Job: Wait for the scheduled time or manually trigger the cron job: cron -f Check the logs or output to ensure the rsync operation runs successfully.

No. there's no point on having the same performance, other than additional ports, it won't add up to the total processing power. You better buy a used RX580, it's $50 on ebay.

I would wait for 5700x3d or 5500x3d if you wanna get cheaper. edit: Any X3D chips are worth it for gaming. even the 5600x3d beat 5700x in most games.

I imagine Threadripper has a very low volume, so board partners might wait for the demand before mass-printing the board.

Every PCIe GPU can run in any generation PCIe, it doesn't matter, what matter is how much the GPU can utilize the bandwidth. Every car can run on a 200mph highway, can it reach 200mph? most x16 gpu can work in x8, it is physically limited by the slots, what determines the bandwidth is the CPU or Chipset. It doesn't need to know which pcie version it is put on, as PCIe devices are version agnostic. there is a slight increase when using version 4.0, 1% at most.

RTX3080 is a gen 3 cards, at pcie 4.0 x 8 it should be the same speed as gen 3.0x16 nothing to worry about pcie splitting.

You can get a pciex4 nvme adapter. Should be enough. Of x8 for 2x m2 drive at the same time. The GPU should always on the top slot, you can fill the next empty one.

No, max 32ohm. check the specs.

windows 10 cd key is cheap, around $15. Just google windows cd keys.

For 600 probably upgrade your GPU, and if there's anything left, go for 5800x3d.

From personal experience, yes you can. You can always reinstall if any problems exist. No need, why waste a good working drive. For windows keys, worse case it would just be non active, you can still use it, you can just buy a CD keys to remove the watermark.

All im saying is don't worry about it, as long as the pins are in perfect condition the cpu will work. It's prone to break so be careful. GN is famous for overanalyzing things.

Get it used, you can get 50% off from the cpu and memory (or probably mobo). Ignore pcpartpicker price. If you use Unraid, all you need is just add another drive (as needed in the future), as long as it doesn't exceed the capacity of the parity drive. So with 3x10, or 2x20, 1 is for parity (doing the redundancy, must be the highest capacity) other for the storage, as many storage drive you want (limited by your port and unraid license). What's unique with Unraid nas, is you can mix match any drive (capacity / speed) you have, doesn't have to be the identical, very user friendly. If drive failed, only need to be replaced with similar capacity or higher.

in my 20+ years of pc building never had any broken cpu. You got nothing to worry about. Physical damage probably the pins on the cpu or motheboard should be perfect.

It's simply a rebadge of 13900. Meaningless generation update. Draws a lot of unnecessary power. Better get AMD 7950x.

If you want to maximize your money (and storage) my suggestion is : - Intel 10100 cheaper used, or i5 9400 even cheaper, use the included fan. not F, you'll need the onboard gpu for installation and plex. - cheapest mobo that you can find (with 4 sata port). - 8 gb ram, is enough. - 1x 256gb ssd nvme / sata no problemo. for cache - 3x10TB hdd, total space 20TB, if you have ANY leftover HDD you can add it to the mix, as long as nothing is over 10TB. - 8GB thumbdrive - 400w PSU, Any 80+ will do. - Unraid basic edition.

get a pico psu it will run very efficient and no fan. you can go as low as 5w idle. you run the power from external adaptor.

impossible. with every newer generation usually the timings are doubled.

They do work, there are some established brand like Huananzhi and machinist. These boards are very popular in Russia, they have a dedicated community that reviews these boards. Thing is a used ryzen chips are dirtcheap, you can build similar performing pc with newer hardware for a little bit more money.

Tyan is a legit server grade motherboard maker. Not some chinese frankenboard. X79/99 boards you found on aliexpress is using random leftover chipsets. So you can endup with different chipset on the same motherboard layout (they probably share the design between manufacturer).

yes, memory can be useful longer than the CPU.

Many AM5 (if not all) boards support XMP out of the box, i suggest getting that if you're planning on changing to intel in the future. The difference is probably miniscule, EXPO is just Amd way for the memory manufacturer to avoid paying Intel just to copy their timings.
