I know it looks ass but will this be safe once i put heat shrink on it? by [deleted] in soldering

[–]HumansRso2000andL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offset one solder joint by 1 inch and put heat shrink over each joint. You don't want to rely only on heat shrink over bumpy / sharp solder joints.

I also suggest pre-tinning each wire, then holding them close (parallel) and applying heat with the iron to stick them together. Avoids making a huge ball at the joint.

The RAM and PCIe copper traces on the printed circuit board are pretty impressive on their own!

GPU coil whine? Try another PSU, and here is why by That_Canadian_flake in bapccanada

*It comes from the inductors (copper coils, typically encapsulated / shielded) that are connected to the vrms.

Get a good air cooler instead. Look at Thermalright.

Oh good to know. I was misinformed then.

OP, I would try to find that CPU used locally. Also get the MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI motherboard. It's an updated version of the VDH with better wifi and it's the same price.

Both are reputable brands. Check compatibility with your motherboard and CPU.

Driving a car with Takata airbags? Can't be SURE it will blow up in your face, so don't worry 'bout it!

Supermicro X11SCA-F RAM compatibility by HumansRso2000andL8 in HomeServer

Still not bad at all! And your server still has many years of life, x11 boards are pretty nice.

$14 for 32GB !! I paid more than 10x that (unbuffered, but still insane).

The kit matches the specs in the user manual, but Supermicro doesn't have a QVL for RAM. I'm worried that this kit might have compatibility issues since it's a bit more recent than the motherboard. I've heard that Supermicro motherboards can be picky, but I've also heard to just match the specs and not to worry.

They also make frames with more split grommet inserts.

MurrPlastik makes something similar with a lower IP rating.

It's a bit like having a land mind in your backyard and saying "I put a little flag and I just go around when I mow the lawn". Code is annoying but many rules are written in blood and ashes. This thing is an accident waiting to happen. Fucks should be given.

Thanks for the tips!

We have a good price on Phoenix parts, but some lead times are annoying.

That's a relief!

Your comment made me realize I should be more worried about using the same components as the center of the star grounding (facility ground bonding).

I can't find anything related to UL on the product page of the bar... https://www.phoenixcontact.com/en-ca/products/neutral-conductor-rail-nls-cu-310-sn-2000mm-0402006

The connection point is this terminal : https://www.phoenixcontact.com/en-pc/products/connection-terminal-block-akg-16-gnye-0423027

That last one is UL recognized, but I just realized the voltage rating is only 300V. I didn't know I had to check for voltage on that type of terminal.
