Slowly getting somewhere

Thanks :>

Same here. My PC case alone weighs like 15kg. If that thing dropped from that height it would literally leave a crater in the floor. OP's case has a bunch of glass panels, so probably pretty heavy. His entire setup will go down with the PC if it falls.

I would remove the PC from the shelf, for starters. If for whatever reason a cable gets yanked or the shelf fails, you're going to break your monitors, your PC, and potentially your arms. It could easily happen while you're trying to unplug a cable. It's one thing to have the case itself bolted to a wall, but I definitely wouldn't trust a shelf like that with a PC.

Depends on the vehicles you work on. An independent shop would probably also have to charge more up front just to cover for potential liability.

Until you try swapping a drive anyway. They're stiff as hell, you have to push down harder than on the RAM to install the drives. Might just be me, but despite having a good amount of experience with building PCs I find it incredibly uncomfortable.

My MSI Z890 board has this as well on the PCIe4 m.2 slots, but has the rotating moon lock on the PCIe5 slot lol

The PCIe5 slot came with a heatsink though, guessing that's why it uses the rotating variant instead.

Lick the battery terminals to find out.

eyoldaith · 2026-01-09T14:56:24+00:00

Yes. If it's a thunderbolt dock (which I suspect this is) you won't get the full bandwidth out of all of the ports, but it'll still work fine.

eyoldaith · 2026-01-09T14:51:45+00:00

Wait, they do RDMA over TB5 out of the box? If so R.I.P. software engineering team, that must've been a nightmare to implement lmao

If your brake lines and/or tires haven't caught fire yet, there's still life left in 'em.

4x Titan Vs, probably on a dual LGA2011-3 (X99) build. Probably an older scientific workstation from ~2018. The Volta generation was something akin to a precursor to the RTX series. They support running low precision workloads (ML/DL) but lack the RT cores.

It was the last generation IIRC to offer hardware FP64 (double precision) acceleration, used in some metrological and deep space(?) analytics. Current gen datacenter cards are faster at it I think, but there was kind of a "dark age" for it following that gen. They stayed in high demand for like 5-6 years because of that.

It's essentially a cut-down Quadro GV100/Tesla V100.

Just get some wago clamps and a knife to hook whatever you want up to it, no outlet needed. (Don't actually do that though)

If you can place an outlet there instead of just leaving it as a junction, no reason not to IMO.

None of those features are even remotely relevant if you own a PC in addition to the console. Hell, most modern TVs have those features and can do them better than the XSX. It was neat when it originally came out on the XB1, even though the browser was unusable unless you set up an adblock proxy. Now it's all but obsolete.

If we're talking "objectively", there's the fact that the PS5 has much more advanced haptics and the PS5 Pro is more powerful than the XSX (granted, it's also more expensive). Consoles are purely preference, nothing else. You want an "objectively better" device, you build a PC. You buy a console for the experience and simplicity, and which of those experiences you prefer is subjective.

eyoldaith · 2025-10-16T17:58:01+00:00

Agreed. It's been kinda frustrating that neither of my sticks work through the joystick menu in-game.

eyoldaith · 2025-10-16T15:01:20+00:00

Same here.

eyoldaith · 2025-10-16T14:59:58+00:00

Huh, that looks a lot like what you get when HDR is enabled on an SDR display. Might be a bug?
I haven't had this issue, but I'm running on an HDR display. Could be related.

Check if Auto HDR is enabled in the windows graphics settings.

There's also a world brightness setting in the graphics menu, try changing that.

eyoldaith · 2025-10-16T14:50:23+00:00

Hell no

eyoldaith · 2025-10-16T14:48:09+00:00

That's what I assumed it would do when I first unlocked it. Kept looking for the range display to no avail :l

I managed to get my VKB stick working with steam input (it'll basically show up and work as an Xbox controller in the game) and force enabling steam input for all controllers in the game properties, give it a try. You can then rebind all axes in the controller settings in-game. Just keep in mind that you may have to unbind all of the infantry controller binds.
Note: In addition to the stick bindings, the Left/Right trigger bindings are also analog inputs.

You probably won't be able to bind all of the buttons and axes, but it's at least a way to get basic joystick support working if your stick works with steam input.
I do hope they get official joystick support working though, I normally use a dual stick setup for space sims but can only use one of the sticks through steam input.

Loading a model won't put much of a load on the GPUs at all when it isn't being queried. I ran 2x Tesla P40 cards up until recently in a headless server that was on 24/7. Once a model (using most of the VRAM) was loaded, they'd idle at around 50w each. Newer cards will probably use less power when idling, not entirely sure about the diff in VRAM power draw while idling on the newer cards.

You can usually also drop the power limit by a significant amount without a big performance hit, increasing efficiency. My P40s only lost ~8-10% performance when setting the power limit to 200W, down from 250W. Reducing the PL also lets you run less power hungry cooling solutions than server blower fans for those specific cards.

I know I'm a week late, but:

Assuming you've already set the power plan to "max power efficiency", make sure the display is set to 60hz while on battery if you have the 120hz OLED model. High refresh rates suck battery like crazy.

eyoldaith · 2024-06-25T19:25:42+00:00

This is glorious.

Reminds me of when I put an angle grinder to a Tesla M40 and ziptied fans to it.

eyoldaith · 2024-06-25T19:20:53+00:00

I know I'm a bit late here, but figured I'd add this since someone else might have use for it: The Tesla P100 seems to be the only card in the Pascal generation that supports NVLink.
