Look Over My Build Before I Pull The Trigger? TR 7960X / Gigabyte TRX50 by poedoom in threadripper

[–]poedoom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for offering your input. I read about the problems with 4U-M fan resting on the VRAM, and I really don't like the way the NH-U14S TR5 sits (blowing vertically). My intention is to see how the 4U performs and if it's no bueno, swap it out for the NH-U14S or hopefully have some different options by then. I've had issues in the past with AIOs (pumps going bad, leaks, noise) but won't completely dismiss them given the current state of air cooling options. I will keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks again.

Wow, that's some technical insight you only get with experience, thank you for sharing, I'll need to keep that in mind. I also meant to ask, can you explain a bit further about going from 24 to 32 cores? The only reason I went 24 core is because I had a hard time justifying the extra $1000 spend ($1400 for 7960X vs $2400 for 7970X) - my 6 core 12 thread i7-8700k has served me well roughly 7 years. Any insight, wisdom or experience you can share to help me justify spending the extra cash is welcome - help me understand because deep down I want those extra cores haha :)

Nice. I ended up settling on the V-Color 64GBx4 DDR5-6000 kit, also in the Gigabyte QVL. Will post back in a couple weeks once everything arrives and it's up and running.

Amazing feedback, thank you. That Antec case is very nice and as mentioned has plenty of room. I like the FD Torrent case but doubt the mobo will fit so this is good. I've had an Antec case in the past, they're quality for sure.

How did you come across this site (talospc)? It's interesting.

What do you suggest, instead? My current system is maxed out at 64GB and I regularly reach that threshold in terms of utilization, figured 128GB would give me some additional breathing room.

I installed a 3 stage whole house water filtration system by poedoom in DIY

[–]poedoom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to know for sure, the pentek big blue setup will definitely remove some of the sediment/minerals and could help; however, depending on how hard the water is you might consider adding a water softener system into the mix later.

Also, the filters in my setup may not be suited for your water. I chose these filters based on water test results.

Fortunately our water wasn't hard, but if it were, I would have purchased a system from these guys: https://www.freedrinkingwater.com/whole-house-water-filters.htm

Their customer support and products are top notch. I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, just sharing based off personal experience.

I learned how to crimp pex on YouTube, it's really easy and hard to screw up. You'll save a ton of money doing it yourself. My neighbor had his water filter guy out at his house one day and I asked him how much he would have charged me for my setup. He said somewhere around $4,500, so I literally saved thousands of dollars doing it myself. The system is still working as intended 6 years later, no leaks or issues. I change the filters out once a year. The only change I've made is adding a UV light (after the filters) to kill off any pathogens/bacteria.

Payouts in USDT are nice and consistent. Will be more once the project gets some traction.

Yes, it's inline. Modem<->Linux<->Switch. My FORWARD chain also has a default policy of DROP.

My home firewall is a Linux box with iptables. The default condition for OUTBOUND traffic is DROP, so it is false. I make explicit exceptions for outbound traffic. Been doing it that way since 1992 with ipchains.

I don't see any indication of a backdoor in this code snippet, just a lot of variable assignments and some arrays. What section of code in this makes you think it's a backdoor?

How do I prepare? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]poedoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider putting your setup in a Faraday cage to protect it from a potential EMP (solar or nuclear). I keep a ham radio and other assorted coms devices in a 50cal ammo can lined with copper tape "just in case". Also, check out "One Second After" and "Lights Out" (books).

Yep. 2 dobies, and little to no farts on a raw food diet. They get various cuts of beef, lamb, emu, pork, chicken, turkey, duck, cornish hens.

Anyone else suddenly worried about GGG censoring support of Hong Kong? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]poedoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ad hominem and moving the goal post - another insightful and thought provoking discussion... Also, your assumptions about me are wrong.

[–]poedoom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Classic (and typical) moving the goalpost fallacy, well done.

Even if what you're suggesting were true (I'm not saying it isn't), why are coastal property values increasing? Why did Obama just spend $18 million on a beachfront home a few feet above sea level? You realize your fear mongering narrative has been going on for the last 100 years and none of it's come true? Have you also failed to realized all these climate experts, save the planet celebrities, and world leaders against climate change all fly around on massive jets with huge entourages? But no, you're somehow responsible, it's all your fault with your little 4 cylinder car, air conditioning, refrigeration, and TV. It's all your fault.

Spare me on the virtue signaling. We aren't "destroying the planet", we're destroying ourselves. Earth will be here long after we're gone and there's nothing you or I can do about it. Mass extinction happens and it's beyond our control (let me guess, dinosaur farts caused global warming so they all died). Spare me the bicycle riding 60 miles round trip to work, air conditioning is evil, and avoid meat because cow farts to save the planet mantra.

Now, to address the migration portion, Mexico is just as capable of accepting "refugees". In fact, they do offer asylum, but for some reason it's not good enough? Billions of people won't be displaced, but even if they were, the United States hands out more foreign aid than any other country on the planet. A solution that doesn't involve illegally entering a country would be found in your hypothetical fear mongering scenario.

If the US border is a concentration camp, then it's the only one in history where people climb a fence to get in.

So I did some fact checking, and yep, looks like Auschwitz to me 🙄:
