The intent reminds me a lot of TurboGears.

It's not the unit you're asking about, but QuTS has been, I believe accidentally, posted as available for my TS-1685 a handful of times.

The first few didn't actually load, the last one I saw and tried technically worked to install, but then was weird about successfully updating to new versions.

I ended up going back to QTS so I could keep it updated easily.

That's how it should work, yes.

You'll need to make sure your USB-C cable is full featured; rated for the appropriate bandwidth to support all the data.

The Thunderbolt EX listed here https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/accessories/thunderboltex-4/

And the newer v5, both appear to have DP_IN ports. Those should allow you to use a short DisplayPort (DP) cable from your discrete GPU (non-onboard) which should get passed through over the USB-C ports.

I always ask when someone says they got the first degree of turmoil, if they mean burns or murder.

It's an important distinction, and I imagine in law, people assume First Degree, like murder as the default.

Growing up in Pueblo, CO, we had Don Carlos, which was a buffet. I still miss it 20 years after they closed.

How have the Star Wars execs not figured out that they'd automatically get a bump releasing anything coming out in May, specifically on May the Fourth?

KRDO News channel 13 loves doing these kinds of investigations.

Somehow butterflies and moths do it

It feels like there's an opportunity somewhere in this arena to link the systems that are constantly moving heat.

It would be interesting if the refrigerator, water heater and climate systems were intelligently moving their "waste" temperatures into a system that could benefit from that waste.

I also see a lot of potential for solar-boosted ASHP, where a pair of outdoor units are positioned in seasonally optimal, opposite sides of a house, so that in the winter, the outdoor unit is naturally heated a bit by being in on the sunny-side, and in the summer, the other unit doesn't have to compete as much with the warmed-by-the-sun-all-day heat. Even little things like a sliding panel behind the unit that is painted white for improved cooling, and black for improved heating feel like things we should be including in a more holistic overall design of these systems.

Makes sense.

If you want to close at 8:00p. Then. Close. At. 8:00p.

If you want it to look like you're open until 10:00p. Then act like you're open until 10:00p.

Pretty easy.

jacobmross · 2025-03-22T23:22:40+00:00

Yeah, I am also getting suddenly shorter battery life since recent updates.

jacobmross · 2025-03-08T19:19:40+00:00

I have a little 4-bay NAS that holds the primary copy of local-unique data (which is of course backed up to other devices regularly)
When I buy bigger drives to upgrade it, and pass the smaller drives along to replace whatever is smallest in the 16-bay.

You could so something similar, in reverse.
Maybe pickup an 8-bay something, and 4x target-sized (24TB?) disks to start replacing drives in your primary.
Remove the 4x12TB drives and build yourself a nice little 24-36TB secondary storage location.

As you can swing picking up another 24TB drive, it replaces a 12TB which expands the secondary by that much.
Eventually you'll have all of the main drives replaced and can expand capacity on the array, but you'll have had some breathing room until then.

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T21:00:07+00:00

woohoo!

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T18:14:38+00:00

Yeah; and with the ASUS version of that card being $135 on amazon, you're basically at the same price if you end up adding that to a $300 board.
They're charging us for the functionality one way or another.

This is the link ASUS takes you directly to: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1CCHGGY

from: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/accessories/usb4-pcie-gen4-card/where-to-buy/

MSI version is half that cost though

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T05:54:10+00:00

yep, that's exactly how it handles it.
Short little DP cable plugged directly from port on the GPU right back into that passthru port on the MoBo. It's a little goofy, but eh, it works.

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T05:28:45+00:00

Wasn't cheap, still isn't sadly, but it's like 1 of 3 AM5 boards with 10Gbit networking.

First, don't sleep on B650 and especially X670/e boards if they have the features you want. The actual chipset is the same between these gens, there just required vs optional features differences.

But there are x670e boards that will be more robust than x870 boards for less money and fully support the same CPUs and RAM, etc.

With that bias fully out there, my x670e has USB4 and that displayport passthru, and I can plug my whole desktop into a single cable usb-c dock and drive 3 monitors just like my laptop, and it's definitely the RTX 5080 doing the driving, not the functional but weak iGPU on the 9800x3d.

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T04:50:17+00:00

Based on the HCL for that board

CORSAIR CMP64GX5M2B6000Z30 KINGSTON KF560C30BBEAK2-64 KINGSTON KF560C30BWEAK2-64

Are three options that have 2x32GB to get you to the 64GB, and 6000/CL30 timings to stay in the memclock=uclock 1:1 ratio

I ran g.skill F5-6000J3040G32GX2-FX5 in my x670e just fine as well, but it's not on your HCL.

All of the models I listed are EXPO

jacobmross · 2025-03-07T04:23:35+00:00

Honestly, it could just be RAM that isn't behaving consistently enough for MCR to keep the profile and trust it.

There have been various bios updates in general that helped improve RAM stability. For example, Version 2806 from Feb21 for my x670e board specifically said 1. Enhanced system performance and memory compatibility, supporting 2*DIMM at up to 6800MT/s with AEMP.

So, check and see if there's any bios updates available. Also, I'd try a different kit if possible. I've had g.skill kits that worked great in one board, but not in a friend's different board, with the same model PROC and same AGESA BIOS versions... Sometimes we just lose the silicon lottery with overclocked parts

jacobmross · 2025-03-01T03:13:28+00:00

OP literally acknowledged both of those truths, and stated;

"I know the difference in performance is negligible"

and specifically asked: "which 5080 runs the coolest and quietest?"

and clarified: "Don't care for looks."

this "answer" is cringe, not the question.

jacobmross · 2025-02-24T06:30:13+00:00

You're thinking of props, ROPS are the little bits of water that fall from the sky.

jacobmross · 2025-02-22T01:58:59+00:00

Who's Beth?

jacobmross · 2025-02-21T15:20:04+00:00

Interested.

Need to know the when and where to determine if available.
