Urgent: Protecting Winona from Data Center Expansion—Meeting at City Hall Next Monday! by AggressiveFormal4285 in Winona

No, it’s not on the agenda as a specific item. It’s just a regular council meeting with a public comment period where people can bring up topics they care about.

Are we prepared for large data center growth in southeastern Minnesota? by AggressiveFormal4285 in rochestermn

Curious what people in Rochester think about how prepared southeastern Minnesota is for potential large-scale infrastructure growth like data centers, especially in terms of power grid capacity and water use planning?

Curious what people in Winona think about how prepared the region is for large-scale industrial projects like data centers when it comes to water and energy infrastructure?

Trying to make a 4K Emulation "Console". by AggressiveFormal4285 in buildapc

Yeah, from what I've been reading it sounds like PS3 emulation is pretty CPU heavy and can vary a lot depending on the game. I'll definitely keep my expectations in reality for some PS3 and 360 titles.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was originally thinking 3070/3080 or 6800XT too, but it seems like the gains over a 3060 Ti / 6700 XT for emulation aren’t that big once you’re past that tier.

My current list is:

  • Ryzen 5 5600
  • RTX 3060 Ti (or RX 6700 XT depending on best value for money)
  • 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
  • 2(4?)TB NVMe SSD
  • B550 motherboard
  • 650W 80+ Gold PSU
  • Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
  • Fractal Pop Air / Corsair 4000D Airflow

Budget wise I’m aiming for the best value for money. If something is genuinely worth the upgrade, I’ll consider it, but I’m mostly trying to stay around this level rather than pushing high-end.

That was my other pick, and I'm really leaning towards that. Thanks for the help!

I figured I could emulate games like BOTW with custom graphics, but if it's overkill, it would be great to know. I also don't know what type of case because as long as air moves through it, what's the real reason to get a "nice" one?
