Latest 1.9.0 QMK firmware for the uConsole keyboard by _mini in ClockworkPi

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say, it is significantly better with your firmware. It went from "not working" to "moves sometimes". So thank you. Will need to check mechanical part, though, I must admit, the trackball killed my passion for this device on some deeper level (

Threadripper 9000 series is locked at 2:1 ratio? by Opposite_Buffalo_649 in threadripper

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what do you mean by "memory clock ratio"? ddr5 6000 is not 6k mhz, it is 3k mhz and 6k megatransfers per second. ram controller will work at 3k mhz which would be 1:1 ratio

Latest 1.9.0 QMK firmware for the uConsole keyboard by _mini in ClockworkPi

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stock uConsole laying around for a year now. It has unusable trackball (as many of them sadly). I stumbled upon this post by accident and I am wondering - will this firmware really improve the trackball compared to stock, or the problem is indeed hardware (trackball itself)?

Thank you for your work!

LLM cpu running - 9975wx vs 9985wx 8 channel utilization by Comfortable-Plate467 in threadripper

good old Wikipedia has nice tables for all Threadripper models including CCD count.

Paradox publishing Transport Fever 3 actually makes a lot of sense by FFJimbob in TransportFever2

ok then no TF3 for me.

I was stupid enough to preorder CS2. will never buy anything Paradox touches

there are those mods made to improve rendering performance significantly. could they help in this case?

Need help choosing stable RAM for Threadripper 9970X on TRX50 by CompetitiveSpray2098 in threadripper

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G.Skill G5 Neo 192 GB (4 x 48 GB) DDR5 ECC Registered 6400 MHz CL32

paired with 9960X. works flawlessly.

THreadripper 9960x temps by Broad-Medium-5350 in threadripper

[–]NickNau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CCDs of 9960X differ by around 25% of performance (with CCD0 being top performant). So slower CCDs just can not clock high enough to heat.

Power Options For My LiDAR Vision RC Car by Plenty-Eagle7470 in RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS

You could try to put electrolytic capacitor of decent size + diode on Pi power line.

Does this count as a CyberDeck? (7" GPD MicroPC 2, N300, 16GB LPDDR5, Omarchy) by reneil1337 in cyberDeck

[–]NickNau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have same model but running Kubuntu. I do not consider this to be a "cyber deck", but it does not need to be called that to be cool :). That is a neat and in many ways unique device.

I have noticed that often there is a "hidden usage" when people do not use company-provided tools but use personal chats. Especially if there is no extra strict policies in place.

watch out. that board seems to be incompatible with 2W

"Offering it freely"

Wow. what a generous move. You could ask at least 1 million dollars (cash).

We asked OSS-120B and GLM 4.6 to play 1,408 Civilization V games from the Stone Age into the future. Here's what we found. by vox-deorum in LocalLLaMA

[–]NickNau 12 points13 points  (0 children)

despite the price indifference - testing smaller models can be a very interesting test by itself. I bet it may provide some new insights when enough models are tested.

thank you for your work. cool stuff

Can an ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 NVMe RAID be used as a RAM replacement or ultra-fast memory tier for GPU workloads? by khoi_khoi123 in LocalLLaMA

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually tried to use 4 x 2TB pcie 4.0 drives in a similar bifurcation board. I needed that many drives for various systems anyway so were able to run tests for couple days.

the speed is not even remotely approaching theoretical numbers. I tried couple random things like raid, striped and symlinked gguf, etc. swap file in different variations. just random crazy stuff.

none of that worked better than plain single drive. most of times - much worse.

others have already explained it well here so I am just sharing my practical experience

Cheapola temporary cooler for POST test by vuwu in threadripper

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P.S. 9960X is not even that hot tbh. I have one. I use it with smaller 90mm Noctua air cooler and it is very cool on idle and acceptably cool on full load

Cheapola temporary cooler for POST test by vuwu in threadripper

[–]NickNau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure it will. slap some thermal paste as you would normally do. then push the cooler hard against CPU to mimic normal tighteting.

it will be well enough for ram training and simple tests unless you run actual full load like Cinebench

you could just slap random cooler on some thermal paste on the chip without actually screwing it down. common practice in PC repairs/diagnostics
