    32in 1440p vs 4k

    I've been running a 32in 1440p display at both home and work for about 18mo. I just sat down to my old display, a 32in 1080p and was amazed at how much grainier it was. I've been thinking about getting a 32in 4k display at home...how much would that annoy me at work with "only" 1440p?

    I run an msi b450 a pro max with a 3600x, 32gb ram and rx 570 for a minecraft server running ubuntu. This morning I shut it down to install a 3080. When I started back up the monitor went on and the cursor blinked and then stopped. The VGA debug light just stays on. Swapped back to the...

    What does everyone use for their test system?

    10gbe m.2 adapter gets hot.

    I got one of these m.2 10gbe adapter thingies. Why, well, because I didn't have enough regular x4 slots and PCIe lanes to handle a regular card and my capture card. I got the thing plugged in and all, and it seems to work that is until it gets so hot it cuts in and out. The heatsink on it...

    3090 backside ram

    More of a rant... But the backside ram on the 3090 sure is annoying. It just gets smoking hot without any true heatsink back there when really getting taxed So, it seems really the best way to control the heat back there is a full coverage water block. I have a couple like that and they're...

    Saw an potential early release apple product today

    Went to a tour with what could be a new apple product in a few years. Present code name is Wa64. It is a 2004 cross between cripps pink and honeycrisp. I found it had good texture and sugar but lacked some astringency. Nothing like some click bait from your friendly neighborhood apple farmer.

    Heatsink/fan for Vega 56

    Awhile ago I bought a used XFX Vega 56 that had been converted to be watercooled. As it was used, it didn't have the original heatsink for air cooling. No biggie as I had the pieces to utilize it. Fast forward to now and it is just sitting around and really can't be utilized very well. I...

    XFX Vega 56 from waterblock back to air

    Enough Radiator?

    So in my mining card decommissioning project, I have a couple 3080s on full cover water blocks. I am going to put one on my son's machine, which currently is a 3600xt. I can cram a 240 on the top and a 120 in the rear. Is that going to be enough for those to components?

    Post merge power cost to remain the Black?

    Any guesses what sort of power cost it will take for say 3000 series nvidia or 6000 series radeons to bring back more than the cost of power the week after the merge? My guess is it will be somewhere less than 4¢.
