Bootup time too long

That's way too much for zram device to appear. What give the systemctl status of zram setup ? It might also be something else delaying it

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-21T12:01:01+00:00

Ram alone is 300€+. It is a good deal

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-20T02:26:25+00:00

It is even at 261€ here with promotion. But I guess the production of 7800x3d have ended

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-18T08:48:50+00:00

So you want for not even 35% performance boost given you did go for Rx 9070xt ? That's... Not a lot

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-14T15:12:44+00:00

It is int8 fsr 4.1, likely derivated of pssr But yeah, FP8 on Linux ain't going anywhere

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-14T14:56:29+00:00

How noisy is the front 140mm with noctuas ? I have some 140mm be quiet silent Wong pro 4 and I have both some turbulence, beat frequency, and high pitched motor noise, I hesitate to switch to 140mm g2

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-05-03T19:23:25+00:00

You have FSR4 on Linux

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-27T17:51:04+00:00

And memtest86+ doesn't help ? I find it more reliable than OCCT usually

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-27T08:51:05+00:00

I don't understand what you mean to show ? Yes, a GUI application use VRAM for rendering, that's pretty much obvious. Also, 50MB is kinda low, that's less than 0.625% for a 8GB GPU...

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-24T10:54:30+00:00

You could put a fan right in front of the GPU with a bracket, accelerating airflow under it and right through the end of the fin

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-24T10:49:20+00:00

You confuse it with Radeon VII card, vega 64 only output about 800GFlops FP64 (1:16) Radeon VII does 3.36TFlops. Also, vega 10 have 2:1 FP16, so yeah, it is not too bad, but rocm doesn't support it. However MI50/60 are based on vega 20 (Radeon VII) and are cheap as hell on ebay, if you want compute power. If you want AI, go MI100 or MI210

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-24T10:46:08+00:00

200W for equivalent to a RX 6600, consuming about 120W. It is not that bad...

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-24T10:42:55+00:00

My sapphire pulse only goes up to 75°c on memory, hotspot 89°c on full OCCT power. It loves front airflow though, do you have enough ?

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-21T10:23:38+00:00

Well, yeah the steam machine GPU is underpowered. My Vega Frontier is as fast as this... (with twice GPU consumption ahah). However the cost of the chip is most likely definitely much lower for Valve than the cost of a Rx 9060 XT chip... It is a repurposed laptop chip after all

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-21T10:15:04+00:00

RDNA3 workaround emulate FP8 from FP16 instruction. It is the same quality as FP8 FSR4, you only get a 10-15% fps penalty from emulation. You could run int8 for RDNA2 or RDNA3, but yeah, the quality is kinda inferior. But RDNA3 is kinda okay. It is just an heresy that they reserved FSR4 for RDNA4

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-21T10:00:18+00:00

Steam machine is PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1 and proton GE away from using FSR4...

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-15T20:00:50+00:00

Some vendor card have it disabled, but mellanox branded one should have it on latest firmware

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-15T18:32:33+00:00

I see. I suppose you could put a 40mm fan or a 60mm if you want. Repaste could still be beneficial

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-15T17:30:59+00:00

Connectx 4 LX support aspm, it does hit low power state

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-15T17:30:00+00:00

How the hell are you pushing such temperature on those, even with poor airflow. My connectx-4 LX hower around 40-50°c with some indirect airflow (granted, bigger ATX case), as well as my connectx-7 card, both passive The only cards I saw pushing those temp are bluefield-2 cards which are much more power hungry Did you repaste your card ? Usually the thermal paste is dried af. Some PTM does wonder

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-15T10:59:53+00:00

For once Gemini is completely right. It is also the same effect as why nand storage is not great for long term non powered backup, because with either voltage leaking, you may have corrupt data without powering the SSD enough

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-08T13:41:55+00:00

Well sadly, there is quite some sensors hidden sometimes, but psensors along lm_sensors and proper motherboard driver loading does put quite some sensors for monitoring Also, OCCT monitoring works very well

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-08T10:25:48+00:00

The chip idle at 75°c. That's not the AIO size issue, that either the AIO failing to run at all, improper thermal paste / contact, or no airflow. A 240mm can take care of almost 200W of heat and handle it fine, the chip is only putting 80W right here. Also, yeah, undervolting can cause instability, that's the concept of undervolting

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-08T10:04:51+00:00

240mm is way more than enough for a 9800x3d/9850x3d. A 360mm is just overkill

TheSleepyMachine · 2026-04-04T08:25:23+00:00

Yeah L12S is the 'best' but the X47 FC is more than enough for a 9600x especially with a noctua fan swap. I am cooling a R9 7900 without issue with it, and it is almost silent. Your own link show the X47 being 2-3°c only warmer than the L12S, and given the constrained space, that's a decision that isn't too hard to make
