8uhbbhu8 reacted to Herman Mcpootis in Testing out Mystery TaoBao CPUs
Not the first time, taobao still has old LGA 1150 mobile CPUs that showed up 1-2 years back.

* Linus acts surprised.
Me: Linus don't act like you've never seen this before. You did a vid on AliExpress converted mobile CPU's before.

8uhbbhu8 reacted to Windows7ge in How do I go about connecting hard drives to my server?
I'm not a Dell server guru but it's popular for Dell to do things like this where a controller will slot in or connect to a socket and the ports for it are on the board itself. Without the card the ports just wont work.
You can look up the manual for your server which may provide you information on that or you can disconnect the RAID card and see if devices still show up on those ports. If not then they're for the RAID card.

Just make sure the controller is in IT mode. I've got an LSI H220 in my freenas and it works flawlessly, which I bought off Ebay already flashed.

just plug a sata in l.o.l

storage storage storage. Think RAID arrays across multiple nvme ssds, or future ultrafast SSDs.
Intel will likely completely skip 4.0. They are upgrading because AMD upgraded, and they have no reason to update to a previous standard. (AMD upgraded before 5.0 was finalized.)

PCI-E 5.0 will be interesting for, among other things: 400GE networking to the server. 400GE switches are becoming a thing in the data center, but PCI-E 3.0 and 4.0 aren't fast enough to handle it at the server level. 5.0 will provide that.

No you're not. They STILL can't get production levels up for 10, despite shipping processors based on it.

Still 14nm...

EDIT- Probably.

PCIe 4.0 was standardized in 2017 but not adopted widely until this year.
PCIe 5.0 was finalized in May of this year, after AMD had finalized the 5xx chipset and motherboard spec, so they used 4.0. It wouldn't make sense for intel to use 4.0 for what they are developing now, and they are only upgrading because AMD did.

Because 5 comes after 4.

As a CAD Tech I love looking at these

8uhbbhu8 reacted to Taf the Ghost in PCIe 5.0 comes to Intel along with a new socket
Because the group that runs PCIe standard got their act together. And the industry has a big desire for more interconnect bandwidth. 5.0 spec was finalized in May. Both AMD and Intel should be going DDR5/PCIe 5.0 in 2021.

8uhbbhu8 reacted to leadeater in Suggest a storage/RAID card
Still better in every way than crap motherboard raid which is software anyway, usually not very well written/stable. RAID 5/6 on anything without write-back cache or dedicated journal is terrible. Motherboard RAID should only ever be used for a 2 disk mirror, if you just have to use that and not something else.

8uhbbhu8 reacted to vanished in NVIDIA has created a gaming studio to remaster classic PC games with Ray Tracing effects
Cool idea. It will be interesting to see if these games are playable with their new look on older 10-series cards or even existing and upcoming AMD cards. As much as they're obviously doing this to promote RTX, I would guess that in most cases you won't actually need the RTX hardware to be able to get playable frame rates (or at least, you shouldn't) since the games are geometrically so simple. It's the same theory behind why ray tracing mods for Minecraft work on non-RTX cards.

I think this is a great idea to get many more RTX games out the door. There are tons of games I can think of from back in the day, that as remasters, could allow for a new generation to enjoy (Half Life series, F.E.A.R. series, Max Payne series, Serious Sam series - to name a few). This also addresses many people's doubts about RTX in general; reassuring that NVIDIA wants to make the technology more useful, and not simply a tech demo or a fad that dies out.

It's like same problem with SSD storage vs RAM in a way

It's risky, but there are modern designs we could use that would make it far less problematic. Liquid fueled reactors instead of solid rods, thorium, etc.
IIRC China is actually building the first full scale thorium reactor. They're expensive but for some reason (money and screaming, ignorant hippies) won't let any new reactors get built in the west.

So if I set a LiCO2 battery on fire, I'll get double the smoke of a LiPo battery fire?
