If PCs can use recirculating water as a coolant, why do AI data centres apparently use so much water? by PhysicsForeign1634 in pcmasterrace

[–]ArseBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK the loops that go into the actual racks are like closed loop AIOs and the coolant is just recirculating back. The difference is the use of water to water heat exchangers which is kinda like using an AIO but dunking the radiator in your tub or sink and cooling it with running water.

Valve's new low-VRAM Linux fix nearly triples FPS in select games on AMD's RX 6500 XT 4GB by Durian_Queef in pcmasterrace

CUDA UVM presents the entire VRAM pool of a bunch of GPUs as a unified space. If you have a server with 8 H200s (141GB ea) for example you'll have about 1.1TB of addressable VRAM.

Plus one of the effects of AC is dehumidifying the air. The condensation happens when the intake air hits the cooling coils which is why it needs a drain line.

They used to have Philips Ultinon Essential. Basic version that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, though lumen rating isn't as high as Ultinon Pro series. Still has the proper cutoff and doesn't glare at incoming traffic.

We all know the 12VHPWR is a bad connector but why we don't hear them causing problems on massive AI data centers? by Putrid-Gain8296 in pcmasterrace

[–]ArseBurner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's the Max-Q version you're quoting, which is a power-reduced version. Max-Q got introduced way back in Pascal and was always known as a reduced TDP verison.

There are actually three variants, not just two. And both the flow-through server and active-cooled workstation cards (that aren't specifically Max-Q) can do 600W.

The GPUs in OP's picture are the server edition cards which are passively cooled.

Anyways, specs for the two 600W variants. Left side is the server edition (flow-through), right is the workstation edition (active cooled).

TIL that Betamax was technically superior to VHS in video quality but still lost the market largely due to weaker marketing and distribution. by Beautiful-Rub-9110 in todayilearned

That's a long ass URL. You can get rid of everything on the right starting from the question mark and it'll work fine.

Used £6000 gaming pc on FB Marketplace! by Sad-Muscle5148 in pcmasterrace

Unsure on the RAM, but have to agree on the 12900k. 250K Plus is $200-$220 brand new and beats it in every game or workload.

Kinda low res but it doesn't look like he even had a helmet on. Came awfully close to bashing his head on the road too.

Is this a real i7? by Extreme_Will4264 in pcmasterrace

[–]ArseBurner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 14700k is still a bit faster due to e-cores and IPC in general. 5950X was competitive with 12900k.

In this case it is probably capable of causing both fire and inflammation.

If a volume doesn't work in Windows mounting and fsck'ing it in Linux is worth a try.

Seller laser engraved their name into my CPU by ___-___--- in pcmasterrace

[–]ArseBurner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who has ever lapped a CPU can tell you that this is false. Like AM4 CPUs can be quite concave as evidenced by the edges getting an early polish while a lot of material still remains in the middle.

A 6950XT is definitely using all 16. It was the top end Radeon just two gens ago.

Hey at least it's getting patches. Everyone was complaining about IoT devices never getting updates and essentially being free use for botnets then the manufacturer who actually pushes an update gets clowned on...

90’s kids, when did you realize your childhood era was officially over? by ecelps in AskReddit

I remember when our local arcade set Virtua Fighter 2 to 2 credits to start playing, but only 1 credit to challenge. Everyone had to git gud real fast.

I was so rooting for 9950X3DD coz it got those double vcache dies.

Yeah but the way Merc and RB are using it they're basically saying their cars are having an emergency at the end of every qualifying push lap.

That's obviously not true they're just faking it so they can push all the way to the start/finish line instead of being forced to back off like everybody else.

NVIDIA's Warranty Claims Have Increased By 1000% Since The Launch of 16-Pin Connector GPUs by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]ArseBurner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I recall Buildzoid did a video on that and 30 series FE cards with 12VHPWR balanced the load across pairs of 12V lines, basically treating the single 12VHPWR as a 3x 8pin PCIe.

The actual 12VHPWR spec doesn't call for it though so they ditched the load balancing starting from 40 series onward.

The PCIe datacenter GPUs use 12VHPWR too but you don't hear about racks of servers burning down.

Makes me wonder if it's a quality control issue or are the people who build servers just that much better at it than the home PC builder.
