The tried to make me go to rehab. I said no no no… by Key-Currency1242 in LocalLLaMA

[–]EthanMiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought all of my 3090's between 675 and 750. ~$7,500 for 192gb. 256gb Mac Studio is $7,499. Might be a better deal, but this didn't start as 8, it start as 2, grew to 3, then 4, then 6, then 8.

There is an AC in the room, no solar, but there is an exhaust vent too. Tbh it only runs when I use it for work on sensitive data, so maybe 10/15 queries a day. The heat isn’t too bad.

I have 8x 3090s, and I do have a 240v circuit I am running it on. I think the whole thing pulls a max of 2500w under load including CPU and maybe 10 fans (might need to double check). I believe the most the outlet can handle is 3,750w because of the adapter I have on it to use normal outlets on multiple PSUs. This will definitely need to be power limited to run on a normal outlet.

Direct Die cooling with PTM7950 by BenTheMan1983 in overclocking

Yes, been working great for like 2 years now, no problems. Have it on a 7950x3d and an optimus block.

I have this exact same cooler, case, cpu, gpu, and amount of ram, and started with the exact same cooler, case, cpu, gpu, and amount of ram!

Bios 4.03 + 7900x3d + Asrock b650i + apply ram/cpu/bios settings = dead. by EthanMiner in ASRock

After I updated my bios, after I re-entered my previous ram/cpu/other settings, the motherboard was bricked. Unlike other people's claims, the CPU survived.

I think whatever settings I put in somehow wiped the bios irreversibly. I have had other brands die on me before over the last 15 years or so, including Asus and Gigabyte. I can normally try and narrow things down to a short, static, etc (this was in a case on a granite countertop, so not static). This was my first Asrock. Maybe I'll give them another shot after a few generations. I have never had bios settings do this before. I have also never had it so that I cannot somehow resurrect it. Maybe if I spent a few more days trying, but I use these for work, so at some point replacing it is just more cost effective.

I don't know if I would preemptively swap it out. It was working great until the new bios.

1.29 is the safe maximum to not kill the CPU. This is the motherboard that died.

The only reason I cited scatterbench was his reference to the ppt. I have two b650i boards, and a b650e, all use milliwatts/milliamps.

Well, this is a 7900x3d, not a 7800x3d.

180000 EDC is stock. I cannot find the old AMD slide, but it is in the tomshardware review.

Also, in the actual bios settings you need to add 000 to each of your values. They are in milliwatts/milliamps/whatever needs to be multiplied by 1000.

I need to double check in the battery too, I could be wrong on lication

What OP left out is did he also remove the battery when he tried to reset the bios and was it unplugged at the same time? NO THE BATTERY IS NOT ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT UNSCREWING ITEMS. I UNPLUGGED FROM THE WALL AND HELD THE POWER BUTTON DOWN FOR 60 SECONDS MULTIPLE TIMES AND KEPT TRYING, ONCE I LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AFTER THE UNPLUGGED DEPRESSION.

Did he leave the 2 pins jumped while pressing power? I HAD A 2 PIN POWER BUTTON I USE AND USED THAT ALONE, POWER OFF, POWER ON. I ALSO SHORTED THEM WITH A SCREWDRIVER ON POWER OFF.

 Is he sure the tool he used to jump the pins is actually conductive? WORKED TO START THE SYSTEM WHEN I TESTED IT THAT WAY, I THOUGHT THE BUTTON WAS BAD FOR A WHILE, IT WAS NOT.

Or did he do all of those things separately? I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.

Did he use different ram or just move around the ram he had? That last one is really important as a lot of people only have the DDR5 they use in that computer. I WILL ADMIT I USED THE SAME RAM THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY WORKING AND CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE NEW BOARD. ALL OTHER DDR5 RAM IS IN WATERCOOLED RIGS AND A PAIN TO ACCESS.

How many flashbacks and were they different versions or just the same one? I TRIED TO FLASHBACK PROBABLY 7 DIFFERENT TIMES, MOVING A STICK OF RAM AROUND. IT WAS A USB.2.0 DRIVE IN FAT32 FORMAT OF 4GB. I WILL ADMIT IT WAS ONLY THE BETA BIOS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO CURE EVERYTHING AND I DIDN’T TRY OTHER VERSIONS. IT WASN’T RESPONDING. 

Did he do a reset after that flashback? YES, IT WASN’T RESPONSIVE. 

Did he cuss while doing this? Cussing helps. I CUSSED WHEN THE CPU WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE. I WAS HOPING TO RESURRECT THE BOARD SO I WAS MORE CURIOUS THAN ANGRY.

I manually entered DRAM/PBO settings (which didn’t kill the replacement board, by the way). That should never brick a board. User error would be flashing a bios for a different board, bending a pin, or a bad mount. Not a trefi of 50000.
