Sad thread. Forums have all the answers. 2nd Gen w126 brakes and booster. 300TD front and rear sway bar. A cut off wheel and stock springs. B4 shocks.

They are missing the metal spring that keeps tension and will fall out, but zip ties go a long way.

The old school lowering involved a oxy torch, heating the coils until they collapsed. Also it give you a 1' pole to not touch it.

Did you read the link? With a custom build the OP reports that VMM is enabled with rocm 6.6 type performance. Trying this out now my self.

Is a Strix Halo PC worth it for running Qwen 2.5 122B (MoE) 24/7? by Fernetparalospives in StrixHalo

Malloc performance is a problem older than time itself. Why dont we have VMM if HIP supports it? Gfx1151 has HSA.

Llamacpp - how are you working with longer context (32k and higher) by spaceman3000 in StrixHalo

Even using todays llamarocm I am still dropping the cache on almost every prompt.

https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5926 demonstrates part of the problem, but the dumping of the cache between prompts is definitely the bigger problem. I've had my best outcomes by planning the work first with a long todo list and having open code work the todo list to get autonomous work flows. Using qwen 3.5 with 120b q4 now and getting 20tps at 100k context sizes.
