I would like to think that 3D XPoint (Optane) was a revolutionary tech, given its outstanding performance and endurance, but never had the chance to mature and come down in price (and power) to properly compete with and replace NAND.

I think you'll be fine with your setup. I have an 850W G2 from 2012 that at one point handled an OC'd HEDT CPU and EVGA's super-duper 3080 card. The 10 yr warranty and quality OEM is no slouch and far improved from what used to be "top of the line". Do keep in mind that as any PSU ages, it's...

Aerocool Zerodba 500W, but I don't know the OEM. It received pretty good reviews at the time. Made it just over 2 years, which was also just longer than the warranty... Not too heavy of a loaded system, either. Despite my dad insisting on a good GPU (8800GTS), he never gamed. The legendary...

Yep. The PSU I put into my dad's system in 2006 let out the magic smoke and took his motherboard, CPU, and/or RAM with it (I upgraded his entire platform from an A64x2 to an i7 920 instead of bothering with diagnosis and repair). That was when I learned that I needed to read more in-depth...

Isn't titanium very flexible physically? Works well in aerospace because it handles the pressure and temperature changes so easily? Maybe it needs a stiffened alloy, but it doesn't sound like the most rigid thing to make a desktop box out of...

All the reviews I've seen were saying $689. Aha, found another site. $689 is the bulk tray price, $699 retail+whatever markup they want to charge. Reviewers really need to caveat the 1ku prices.

And here it is: Anandtech Tom's Hardware $689, available today. Same base clock as 14900k, +200 P, +100 E on turbo, only +100 all P-core turbo. 150W/253W/320W/All your Watts are belong to it. Still inferior in gaming in most cases to AMD's X3D chips. Just behind 7950X in multithreaded...

I'm not speculating about the small die size. It's a relative term, to be sure. Only 2/3 of the chip at most is CPU cores, the GPU doesn't matter and the SA isn't much, either. The majority of power is crammed into that central area. But I say "small" as compared to the big chips. HEDT, big...

Wattage and voltage isn't the problem, although it won't hurt to see if you can turn down the voltage and turn off whatever that motherboard "enhancement" thing that actually isn't (see recent Jayz2c video). You have more than enough radiator as it is. 13900KS and 14900KS are the same silicon...

Initial reliable reporting on the issue Intel being a butt about ending 512 support I think there is a lot of behind the scenes mayhem we may never be privy to, but ultimately, to big Xeon land we were sent to have it. With common architectures between desktop and server, core designs are...

The e-cores don't support it, which means that when the OS moves a process between cores and the new core is missing instructions, the process crashes. I think that there have been scheduler improvements in Windows and Linux in the meantime to address this limitation, but regardless, you can't...

I'm re-reading the Anandtech writeup on it and it seems to be a bit of both. I knew it was backported, and the additional architectural enhancements, including AVX512, added a lot of core area to the CPU, combined with the additional elements to make it work when backported to 14nm, reduced the...

It didn't. It was the next generation (Rocket Lake) that had 512, which necessitated the cut back down to 8 cores because of the increased die area.

You can get brand new ones for $25 in FS/T from dbwillis, he sells them a lot as pulls from new installs.

Both are the same from the cpu, 16+4+4, (aside from amd being all 5.0), but Z790 has 28 chipset lanes to X670's 20. The lanes are all flexible and can be used for other things (sata/m.2 storage, networking, etc.) by the motherboard maker. In the end, it's more looking for a board from either...

Never tried a board's IPMI without anything installed. Interesting idea; will be interested in the results if you try it out. The number of fan headers is not strictly an issue when not using 30W server turbines. You can easily run several regular fans with splitters or a hub off of each...

Depends on how the DAS is connected to the host. Purpose-built ones generally will, having additional data connection, but one that is only connected through SAS cables is on its own. Drive spindown will happen if configured in the OS, at least. (Thinking designs in my head here) If your HP...

Nice little server you've got there! Nehalem/LGA1366? I'm on my main rig now and having the picture helps out with some pdf crawling. There seems to be some missing information on the part of SuperMicro (not unusual), but despite two cables present, it seems that only one cable is actually...

Closer to 2400MB/s. The overhead's a bitch, but it's still plenty for spinners and probably higher than your network speed. If 2 connectors are supported (I'm on mobile and didn't look up the details), depending on the expander/backplane architecture, you could potentially double the bandwidth...

1. Yes. If the expander has additional input ports, more bandwidth can be realized by using 2 cables. 2. Yes. 3. You're fine with the card you have and the internal-external adapter. You'll be more bottlenecked by 24 drives into a 4 (or 8 with 2 cables) drive port. There's not a substantial...

It's a proprietary plug incompatible with the 8-pin EPS connector. The board is not able to be run from ATX PSUs directly. Without having one in hand, I can't say for sure, but you could rewire the 8 pin connector to match the one in there now. You'll want an ATX PSU pinout diagram and a...

If you don't have a fireproof climate-controlled automated tape vault under your house, are you really trying?

iFixit It's good to have a small multi bit set in the house.

115x/1200 is a notable omission, but for me 2011/2066 is what I'd like to see an adapter for. I have a few of those systems, might get one or two more, and frankly wouldn't mind being able to upgrade my 10980 to something that will take on a few more watts, or generally when my LFII wears out...

I didn't mean the listed (probably placeholder) price in particular, but rather the KS SKU being too much for what you get. An extra $100-150 for what amounts to 3-5% in frequency and a shit-ton in extra power. Bragging rights, sure, but it really isn't worth waiting for or spending over the...

I watched the review, got excited, went to the website, and then saw the socket list. Intel 17/18, AM4/5 and nothing else. Booo.

It always has been. Price will likely be in line with previous KS chips.

Yes, there is a way to check...but it would require that you have the drives fully working in RAID 0 to do so, which circles back to the original problem. The way these programs work, and part of why they are so slow, is by being data agnostic. It's a straight block-by-block copy of the drive...

You will need to use a third drive to clone disk 2 onto. Thinking offhandedly about the next quote, buy 2 identical drives of at least 3 TB, use each one for each disk. Forget about the included 2TB drives you got with the new enclosure, being smaller can be a bit of an issue when cloning...

Real question is how much bandwidth is intended to run through this VPN? I doubt that CPU will handle gigabit, maybe 500Mb if there aren't a bunch of clients? OP, do you already have this hardware in hand? If you do, give it a try. If not, and especially just from a pure age-of-stuff...

Started with v2 by just 1 or 2 bins. The power draw is still just as high as full turbo/TDP, but the voltage is lower and a much higher percentage of the silicon is being utilized.

No problems at all on my rig. Just followed the install instructions earlier in this thread and everything went smoothly. The Win 7 drivers work just fine. What's the issue you're having?

It seems to be a Russian rebrand of a Huananzhi "E5 v304" board. I can't access the Huananzhi website (I have China on my geoblock list), but you might be able to find a visually identical board to yours in an x79* and LGA1356 flavor and see what it can offer. I did locate a couple BIOSes...

It's a very tiny amount. The probability that a single little bit causes a cell to do the wrong thing and not die for most cancer causing substances is very low. It's the long-term consistent exposure that causes a binomial probability to go up and up until something does (maybe) happen. That's...

If the firmware is different, the WD dashboard software can update it. You'd just do that first before transplant. IN THEORY: If you know the attributes of the RAID 0 array as it was originally set up (stripe size, etc.), and if you can get the drives to be recognized, you can use a BIOS-level...

Sell them for a few bucks in one big lot. You'd be surprised who wants them

It's far cheaper to use the service than buy the tool. It's more that there are limits to how much power USB ports will allow (as set by the USB-IF standard, the computer design, and/or the attached adapter). Some just can't provide enough from a single port, even for laptop drives. It's...

It's essentially bypassing the board's control circuits and directly powering the motor. The tools these outfits have aren't much different (if at all) than the ones the manufacturers use in developing and testing new drives/components. It's up to the drive to spin up and run when provided with...

Indeed. The card is PCIe 3.0, which would mean a theoretical 1GB/s, but because your board is only 2.0, you're limited to the 500MB/s lane speed. It's still enough for transfer between two spinning drives, but beyond that, or with an SSD, things will be getting choked. Really depends on your...

Prices typically start at a few hundred dollars for an "easy" job at a local shop, you could probably find something cheaper online if you're willing to mail the drives out. It can go up to many thousands the more advanced the methods need to be, and sadly, the more you have to spend, the less...
