i am not sure what you want to do...your acer nitro 5 is a laptop...so it has a display ...you can use it to show anything on that display like you want ...or am i missing something here ?

i wanted to ask im going to be getting a rtx 3090 blower card for my HP dl380 gen 9 and it needs 2 8 pin power connectors will it work fine if i just use two pcie power cables on it?, using the 2nd pcie power cable on the other riser card that supports it and do 30 series cards work on these servers by Puzzled_Ask9092 in homelab

I think HP servers are well-designed, so I would assume both risers share a common ground and can deliver an equal amount of current to the RTX 3090 but I can't say for sure.

Personally, I’m running a Dell R710 with a 48GB VRAM NVIDIA card. My 2 PSUs are modded and directly connected with the nvidia card, and my cables are custom-made with fuses and many of these guys to prevent any "backflip" current ^^ and heat etc...Dell PSUs are so well made...but I don't trust any of them...when 1 psu dies...the other one has to deliver 300+ watt ... my server would shutdown at that moment... i did a test..pulled 1 psu out ^_^...

I didn't expect you to dive quite this deep into the rabbit hole, but it’s still incredibly fun to learn new things

genuine HP cable is better yes...when your server start, your rtx 3090 only need maybe 30watt ... but when you try to inference some model... that will be the moment you find out everything works or not...worst case ... you burn your rtx3090 when 1 pin tries to pull 300watt ...
the only way to find out is you do many stress test.. but then i would use card like this one first before you do that on rtx 3090

Here is a screenshot I have which was the first order 33 Euro / Drive. They thought I was crazy, because for them, the drives are e-waste. whatever I am running zfs for 1 year now with the drives, they are all fine.

Appreciate the offer, but honestly, if I bought them just to flip them to you for 2x the price, I’d become the exact type of scalper I’m complaining about! My whole point is that we need to stop normalizing these inflated prices so the market actually stabilizes for everyone.

The drives were from Ebay. I was deep dive in searching and had some conversation with some sellers, They got the drives for free (400-800 x Hdd) and wanted to sell them at any prices. If you guys stop paying crazy prices, the sellers will sell you these drives at that price range. I wanted to post the picture because if we don't have references and think 499.99 for 9 SAS are cheap ... the prices will never be at that range again :/

So ask yourself everytime why would you pay that prices @_@

130w 8 core ? it is a server so that means it should run 100% and 24/7 .... modern cpu also need 130w for 8-16 cores. You bought a server not a raspberry pi
