I made a full cabinet MAME arcade rig 8-9 years ago. There's a pic or two here somewhere. I will post more. In that time I've gone through 3x 21" CRT's and 4x 21" LCD's. Every LCD monitor I bought was basically DOA from 'capacitor plague'. I just opened up the last monitor that died, yep...

Ok.... I spent many thousands of dollars to have a machine that would do HEVC onboard. My processors do HEVC . 1.29$ for a codec ? Everything worked yesterday. now you want cash ? Go Fuck Yourself. I'm going to Immediately start lobbying Adobe to get off your stupid OS. Mebbie Adobe will...

Kyle, I hope your first day was awesome ! ------- I am an enthusiast. The only thing I want is unlocked Xeons. Cheers ! :ROFLMAO:

Ugh.... As some of you may know ,in the last year or two , I have put together a watercooled dual Xeon rig ; see https://hardforum.com/threads/project-snowballed.1950723/ The specs are there. ----- I have a problem.. The machine ran really well , until a couple weeks after I installed the...

Woop ! I did a test of my watercooling setup, d5 vario from a reservoir of my own design to dual socket 3647 cpu blocks. Seems to work quite well, however I have some questions. --- So a G1/4 watercooling fitting uses the o-ring to provide seal. The threads only provide 'compression' for the...

If I click the link at the top of the page, I just get an infinite 'wait circle'... (yea it's IE,haha sorry....) I assume I can just goto patreon .com ? Is there any special info I need ?

I was just going through the extreme cooling section, and noticing all the red x's in my old threads there. My FTP site is long dead , but I still have all the old pictures. Would it be ok to upload those pictures here and fix those threads ? I'm guessing mebbie 20-30, 1024x768 pics.

I have an Xperia Arc (one of the originals)....it's onto 10 years now.I only use it as a phone / camera.....I don't even do email on it... I have now discovered a new little symbol up top : "Low-On-Memory" I have moved everything I can to SD, and I can't delete most of the apps I don't use...

I'm in the process of building a WC loop for dual Xeons. No video cards, the WC is for the cpus only. ---- With a parallel loop like this , I would normally use slightly larger tubing on the runs before the splits. I'm using all g 1/4 stuff , so that's kind of irrelevant. Are there any...

So with my new gopro6 , I am certainly envious of the hardware HEVC encoding/decoding on the Kaby lake stuff. My workstation is xeon skylakes , but I've gotta run the re-encode. I'm using handbrake right now , I also have Adobe media encoder CC.... ---- That's 1 more step than I want... What's...

I'm back in town from the mountains to pick up a couple HERO6 blacks.....4k60 baby !!! What's the best uSD ( u3 class or better) card around ? I'm running SANdisk Extreme U3's right now.What's the state of the art ? :D

[H]o ho ho ! I've been working on this for 8 months.It started out with buying a reaaaaaaaaly nice case. I'd like to say thanks to the people here that helped me along the way ! Cheers ! ----------- Caselabs Magnum SMH10 ( custom white ) Supermicro X11DPi-NT 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6144 Scalable...

Just got these today !! (and heatsinks) Socket p uses a new mounting procedure......The cpu's get attached to the heatsink first, via a plastic clip. The heatsink/cpu assembly then attaches to the mobo with guide pins....I'll take some pics when I install em. Interesting , more foolproof...

Hmmm... This pic is from a supermicro X11DPi-nt motherboard. The connectors in question are the silver ones.You can even see the 'nvme' tags on the mobo . What are these ? They sorta look like e-sata... The manual is no help, I cannot find similar ones anywhere. Thoughts ?

I'm about to buy a bunch of ECC ddr4.This shit is so boring, classic green pcb gah ! I'm constructing a custom modded Xeon workstation, I am looking for low-profile RAM heatspreaders I can attach myself. Google is failing me at the moment. I am assuming I can use std ram heat spreaders , with...

Ok, this might belong in the multiprocessing subforum, but I'll start here. -- I'm about half done building a 'bleeding edge' workstation.Dual processor Skylake-sp . This is my new motherboard : Supermicro X11DPi-NT. I have 2x Xeon gold 6144's paid for and on the way. ------------- Please...

I have finally dived into the big boys pool. My supermicro X11DPi-NT is paid for and on the way.....I've saved up about half of $$ for the 2 xeon 6144's I want. ---- As I stand on the deck stinging from the fir$t dive, contemplating the second dive, I have questions. --- The x11 mobo that I...

This is probably an [H]staff question , but I thought I would put this out there. -- I am looking for the complete datasheets on both Ryzen processors , and Threadripper processors. I've spent some time going through AMD's website , I see nothing. --- Are these documents still under NDA ? What...

I'm betting they are roll-your-own, but I am curious all the same. :ROFLMAO:

I have an issue with a current control loop , I know there's a couple people here with insight. ;D -- I have a PLC that is running as a 4-20mA 'source' . In an Ideal situation , the pH meter I am trying to interface should be a 4-20mA 'sink' . It's not, the pH meter runs as a 'source' as...

I play Q3A 5 times a week still.I even load up quake 2 several times a year. I talk to all the people I play with about what they want from a new quake.From what I've heard , Quake Champions ain't it. The most common denominator I hear is : " We want Q2/Q3A physics/gameplay , with better...

Is Windy/soldam dead ? What's the state of super high end aluminum cases from Japan these days ? I only ask because I might have a pipeline there to buy a case. =D

Good thing they are 'processing'. Any idea when they will show numbers again ? Or did I miss something ? haha :p

Ok.....I know you guys and gals have sworn off the CC. What would it take to get you back in ? It does'nt seem right that you are not in this. --------- It's my advice to my team (HWC forum) that we don't get involved in any rules. How would team 33 setup a ruleset that would...

I have finally decided to build a proper 'rough power' supply......I'm sick of not having good power for my peltier work. The specs I am looking at : 0-24 VDC @ 26 amps. Here's what I am doing ; I have a powerstat variac ....1.4 kVa...(116cu)..I intend to buy a Hammond toroidal...

Ok , I run a PfSense router ( v1.2 rc4). I have set my main rig as a static IP , and opened both a) the required incoming ports and , b) the outgoing ports (outgoing PAT is essentially disabled.) , for Modern Warfare 2 to run correctly. It works perfectly , MW2 reports NAT as...

Ok.....this has nothing to do computers....but I know a couple people here that might know about this so here goes : I was asked to help troubleshoot a power issue with a machine. I *think* I solved it , but it brought up a couple questions. The machine in question is a mixer...

Ok..... /me treads lightly.... :D ------------- I just bought this : -- I intend to build a MAME cabinet with it. -------------- Now I realize so-called 'emulators' are a touchy subject here . I actually own my own roms.Several of them .....Buying legit roms is...

It's probably time I started this thread. :D I am about 18 months into the evolution of the Thinktank ----- I am designing the thinktank 2.0 to be a submersion rig , with pure alcohol (anhydrous isopropanol ) as the liquid. This IPA will be pumped from a large vacuum insulated...

Heh... While I bought this pump for something other than watercooling :D , I thought I should share this for those of you that run multiple setups/large watercooling setups.... I bought this pump from Chinook pumps in Calgary... This is an investment cast 316 stainless steel...

I'm trying to get some more production outta one of my borgs. It's a sempron 3000 or some such thing with 1.5 GB ram , windows XP...AGP slot , and a ~350 watt psu. Upgrading it fully is out.It's too much machine for it's user now. :D However , it's only running onboard video , so a...

Heh This Asus strikeout extreme is exhibiting a new flaw.(aside from the ram eating and death) I now need to reset the cmos every single time I reboot. Haha Sometimes that isnt working even.....it takes 3 or 4 resets.... gg. :p

My cooling experiment is proceeding well , however , I'm going to need to externalize all the electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard. Which brings me to the question.The easy way is to use short (~12") twisted pair pigtails. Is this going to cause impedance issues ? or should I be...

I'm sitting here thinking about full system cooling. Regardless of method , whether gas or liquid cooled , the same question keeps popping up.How cold can a mobo/cpu/ram/video card go ?....My initial research is showing mixed results below -40c......Now, this is 35 ish degrees below spec for...

2 days ago my rig decided to not boot. Intel e6600 Asus Striker Extreme Muskin redline pc8000 etc After a reboot , Bios beeps indicated memory error. I took the machine apart , reseated ram etc , finally it decided to work. It worked for 3 more days. Then same error.....I had to remove 1...
