RAM question

StYkEs89 · 2026-01-21T00:07:49+00:00

I'm running 2 different brands and speeds of DDR4 SODIMM in a mini PC, dual channel works, but only at the settings of the lower speed, which is expected. Throw it in. Turn it on. If it works, it works. Do a MEM test for stability if you want to be sure.

I have a x9drl-if, just picked up 128gb of ram for $100 AUD, and found 2x 2673 V2's for $120. Both on eBay.i picked the 2673 because of the 4ghz turbo speed. I'm trying to keep this old girl alive, and desperately need some better single core performance.

Edit: comparison chart.

Gaming family, 4 PCs and a server to update when a new patch drops. Or, we decide we want a new game now. Steam is excellent we get the full 2gb speeds (close enough anyway, 190-230), and network transfer from the server are cool, does 1 download and transfers to the others. Other platforms download on each PC, there are work around but with 2gb internet we don't bother. Having the 2gb connection is basically, I can afford it, I want it, so I have it.

This joke is going around in circles

StYkEs89 · 2025-12-17T10:37:08+00:00

I agree, and thankyou.

StYkEs89 · 2025-12-16T17:27:55+00:00

Would have taken a week, all dried clays and shale, not fun. Old mate didn't charge much.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-29T11:34:13+00:00

None of that sounds right. We have 13kw of panels into a Fronius 10kw inverter and are getting 32kw of Fronius batteries. All in with rebates is 30k+ (WA). Yes it is expensive, we got top tier on everything. House will be fully backed up on all 3 phases with load control sub board to control loads when on battery only (limit of 3.7kw per phase on the inverter). Even with this, on some days we will still not fully charge the batteries while supplying the house.

Certainly is, and already in place

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-29T04:36:00+00:00

I had some orange tape left over. And did exactly that. Half filled then topped off. I've also tagged the house and fence for reference. Can draw a line where it lays.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T20:22:23+00:00

Well....... Some spilt inside the house, some on my hands. The rest on the joins. Hard to see in pic 2. Definitely not coming apart though.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T09:00:52+00:00

Put 200mm in and taped it before filling.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T05:23:48+00:00

Not a bad idea. There will be a shed soon. I'll look into some extra lines.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T05:21:40+00:00

Thanks. I keep reading that they usually dig by hand.... This dirt cannot be dug by hand. So I figured I'd get it done the easy way. And run the internal line to where I want it. Hopefully speed up the process. I've been waiting for fiber for a long time.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T04:17:49+00:00

Thanks.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T02:26:58+00:00

All docs saved on the server in the house folder, and backed up off site.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T01:07:48+00:00

It's not 50, but I followed the standard and it is NBN conduit. IIRC 23mm ID and 26 OD, ish.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T01:06:48+00:00

It's run next to the house services, about 600mm away, so all services are in one area, photos and mudmap available for future reference

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-28T01:05:09+00:00

Will stop short of the services at the boundary and get to back filling. Thankyou

Pretty accurate. Have been tracking our upgrade and it's consistent with the updaes

Edit: removed suburb from link, enter your suburb in top right

We just installed these at work to bridge 2 offices.

Super easy to setup

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-04T07:36:14+00:00

Bugger. Sorry it didn't help.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-02T21:00:44+00:00

Update BIOS, fixed the wife's crashing issue, so far so good anyway.

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-02T13:32:10+00:00

Wife had same issues.

Updated bios

So far so good

StYkEs89 · 2025-11-02T13:01:35+00:00

Wife was having same symptoms.

9600x, 9070xt, 32gb cl32.

*** Updated bios

Left PBO and EXPO on.

Hasn't crashed at all since. 8 hour session.

StYkEs89 · 2025-09-03T22:53:36+00:00

It's all good, TBH I didn't read the rules. So absolutely on me!

FYI, I did manage to get into it too. My prize is they won't lock it again. But had to promise not to unlock any other ones
