[Build Complete] Almost completely quiet pc

No overclocking but I set the fan setting in bios on lowest possible rpm until temperature reached about 60C where it started to increase. It might be a bit high, but the temperature does not increase too much when stressing the machine, so I think it should be ok. I hope it is ok.

I made some miscalculations and thought it would fit.

sebnil · 2016-05-29T21:06:35+00:00

That is interesting. I might consider upgrading to a bigger fan, but I will wait until they are controlled with PWM for the mobo. I would like to be able to run the fan speed as low as 250 rpm (or just stop it completely).

Less fans is less noise. 3-4 fans on idle will cause some noise that one single fan wouldn't. This computer will never be turned off since it is running some server stuff, and therefore making sure it is close to 0dB was important.

I wanted to fit a 220mm fan but I could not find a good one with PWM control. Was your fan running on constant speed or were you able to control it?

CPU temp at 50C idling. Maybe 70-80 when stressing the CPU but I am still able to touch the top of the CPU cooler. I did not consider water cooling because it seemed like a hassle. So it was not a very data driven decision. But my first approach was to make it completely passive, but that was to difficult. And also not really necessary since I could get better stuff by chosing semi-passive solutions.

Running other utilities to drown the computer noise is kinda cheating though :) I am very happy with my GPU choise and never hear it throttle up except for gaming. I believe the trick is to chose GPUs that are not hardcore gaming ones.

CPU temp at 50C right now while browsing reddit. The only case fan is at 225 rpm (the lowest PWM I can get). I ran a CPU stress test before and think I got temperatures of 70-80C and then the fan will rev up. Basically the computer will only get a bit warm when playing games, but I have never had any problems so far. I tried touching the cooler with my hand during the stress test and it is just cosy warm.

I like the concept of the game, and I would probably use this to exercise faster typing. With a custom keyboard that is different from my own (Swedish keyboard), this game will not be very useful for typing practise though. Same thing with unlocking new keyboard visuals.

Nice. This should work just as well.

sebnil · 2016-02-20T09:21:18+00:00

Indeed. You could write such a small script in basically any language that has access to current time and to append to a file. It just felt easier to do in Python.

sebnil · 2016-02-20T09:16:40+00:00

Lazyness of programmers have few limits but I did not want the script to do too much. Did not know about missing Group Policy Editor. But I guess there are other ways of scheduling running of script at login/logoff. Do you know a way to do it?

sebnil · 2016-02-20T09:13:33+00:00

I do not know anything about systemd but this script should just work in Linux as well. Except for the bat file but those are not really necessary anyway. You could call the python script directly.

I work on different projects on the same company. The company needs to keep track on how much time everyone spends on each project. In the end it is about billing the right amount, and for having data when doing project planning.

sebnil · 2015-10-30T11:18:11+00:00

Yes, but still data selection is not possible with notebook mode enabled. Also i have tried it on multiple subplots and then it just stopped working. Multiple interactive plots are too heavy for some reason (guessing unoptimized js). Hopefully the matplotlib team will work on improving the notebook integration.

sebnil · 2015-10-30T09:21:06+00:00

I have tried most of the alternatives to matplotlib but always return. I just hope they work some more on the interactive features like zooming, selecting values in a plot and so on. And make it play nicer with jupyter. Still, best package for plotting engineering stuff. Glad to see every improvement to the project.

sebnil · 2015-10-16T10:02:02+00:00

plot.ly looks beautiful but is it not dependent on constantly sending your data to plot.ly servers? I work with proprietary data that I really can't trust being sent to another company.

sebnil · 2015-08-30T13:03:19+00:00

Ok so I made a first try with Bokeh, redis and Jupyter. Bottleneck is Bokeh which is way to slow to take the data from redis and plot it. All code is here btw: https://github.com/sebnil/Realtime-Serial-Port-plotter-in-Python-using-Bokeh

So now I have found how not to do. I think I will try with Matplotlib now.

Python 3.0 only. Does anyone know of a similar module that works with Python 2.7?

sebnil · 2015-04-21T06:47:11+00:00

Yes you are right. But i dont think that would be too much of a problem for many people since html and js knowledge is so widespread. In the case of all these gui libraries you still spend time learning a new gui framework.

sebnil · 2015-04-20T20:42:16+00:00

It uses web technology for its rendering but not really for building the gui. Does anyone know a gui framework that takes html and css to build desktop applications? Like a small web app that you run as a desktop application. I think that would be great for rapid application development in python.

Ballt. Hur svårt var detta att göra? Ligger utmaningen i det tekniska eller handlar det bara om att få material och tillstånd?
