So I had moved a few months ago, and when I arrived at my new place, my pc wouldn’t work. The issue is described here: turn the power button on, the fans spin up, but then nothing happens. My GPU RGB lights are off, and then when I hold the power button to shut it all down, it doesn’t respond. The only way to shut it down is by switching the power off.
Now, a few days ago I built a computer for someone in the house, and I used their power supply to quickly test on my pc, and everything seemed to work fine. The power supply wasn’t in the case, I just plugged in the 24 pin, cpu and PCIe connectors in, and I was able to shut it down via the power button, and then also get into the bios. I could not test if i could get into the system, as I did not get power to my drives, but I was confident that everything was working fine and that the power supply must’ve been damaged while moving.
A week later, I finally get a replacement psu for myself, and here I am, wondering why I am back to the old problem.
Old psu was 600w, test was 500w, new is 600w. The old one worked great for 2 years.
Now I’m back to my original question, is the new psu faulty, or is my motherboard dead and somehow I got lucky while testing.
So I had an idea, what if you were to get some networking cards, and hook them up into a PCIe 4 whenever that’s available for the public to use, because PCIe 4 would have so much more bandwidth available, and then with the card, using fast Ethernet cables connect 2 or more data servers (each already running raid with their drives), with like a few hundred TBs let’s say, and then configure them to work in raid or even create some other software to manage them like so, possibly having to bypass the server controllers for the input and output configurations, to effectively have a double raid system? I think it would be possible, just bloody difficult to set up. Maybe LTT could try something like that for their next server upgrade?
