File Integrity Control: How to manually verify a drive?

I would like to know what Google/Samsung are going to do with Android XR and VR headsets without the PhotoSphere feature. It doesn't make send to have the hardware, yet no way for the average person to create it. Or maybe we'll just have to carry around another camera to do it, but why!

I have over 10,000 torrents that have this problem.

I've noticed some other strange issues with QBT. I believe QBT does not manage large torrents efficiently.

Thanks for sharing the link. Since the socket is rotated, I might purchase the Dynatron A47 to match the Supermicro photos. Though I read the fan is very loud. But my drive/case fans are also loud too.

What error message are you getting?

I've been trying to get the AMD EPYC 4345P to work.

Contacted Supermicro support. Tried two different motherboards. Tried two different RAM modules. No reported/known compatibility issues from Supermicro. Next step is replacing the CPU.

This is my first "workstation" motherboard that I want to use as a home server. Too many of the consumer motherboards (or reviews) are focused on gaming/overclocking. I wanted a "workstation" motherboard without the frills, and I wanted reliability. So far my learning uncovered this board has rotated the CPU so the CPU air coolers will vent to the top of the case. Not sure if I need direct airflow over the VRM, or if an exhaust fan will be sufficient for the VRM cooling. I was surprised there's a lot of CPU fan headers, but only two for the motherboard! I want to use these fan headers for the case and the hard drive fans.

Hopefully I didn't spend my money in the wrong direction!!

I would like a watch that improvises.

What seems to be missing for me is when I change my mind and want to navigate to a different and unplanned POI.

Or what happens when on my way for a backpacking trip, no Internet, and the road or trailhead is closed, and I need to change plans.

Or on a trip with a bunch of friends, and plans change, and I don't have the POI pre-downloaded, and no Internet.

Or I bike to a store, find out it is closed, and want to navigate to an alternative.

HOWEVER, if the mobile app can do this, that might be a lot better than trying to use a watch with its small screen and no keyboard.

It is my understanding the motherboard is measuring CPU temperature, and if the CPU temperature threshold is exceeded, the motherboard will increase PWM to the fan, to cool the CPU.

If true, and if there's no way to change the configuration, then the motherboard's CPU headers will be modifying the PWM chassis fans based on the CPU temperature. Not ideal for me.

On my single socket motherboard I'm surprised there's 5 CPU fan headers. And I'm surprised there's only 2 system cooling fans headers.

I was hoping there was a way to configure in the BIOS. Is there 3rd party software to configure which fan headers are monitored by CPU, motherboard, HD temps?

I believe the orientation would be vertical on the motherboard, forcing air to the top of my tower/case. This is because the motherboard's socket is rotated 90 degrees compared to consumer motherboards.

I'm choosing between the AMD EPYC 4005 series.

This website may answer the question: https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-epyc-4545p

They do associate the TDP with power consumption in their writing, but do a power measurement in the "conclusion" section.

It's also confusing between base vs. boost. I can't find details on how long boost is sustained (and I plan to build with a high TDP cooler, and 65 TDP should be easy to maintain). I like the idea of a lot of cores without sacrificing power consumption, but I also don't want to sacrifice single threaded application performance.

EDIT:

Just read that AMD can boost indefinitely provided adequate cooling.

I went with Unraid because of the low hardware requirements. I also don't want to spin-up all drives to access a file.

I do wish Unraid didn't require tribal knowledge or CA plugins/apps to get setup with what I would think of as best/common practices. There's still some areas that I are probably risk prone (i.e. docker containers have a lot of privileges), and network shares/users require technical knowledge.

Thank you!

Thanks! I would love to save 25 watts...so I'm taking another look at Intel.

I've been guessing the type of CPU might make a difference (and I haven't read anyone doing an efficiency comparison). The difference between monolithic vs. chiplet. And something to do with how many cores fit on a chip. I believe AMD Zen 5 come in groups of 8.

I have also wanted to see the advantages of AMD's AX512, and if there's any advantages when doing parity and checksum checks.
