    Server boards and VRMs

    Yes it does. This isn't my first EPYC build. I have 6 of them and they all need active cooling on the heatsinks there to prevent the CPUs from throttling badly. Those are on the Rome setups I have. This one, while I have only ran it with a single 9654 for testing to make sure it works I have...

    Server boards and VRMs

    I really dislike how server boards have such tiny VRM heatsinks. However, I happened to find some upgraded heatsinks for this dual SP5 board I have so I installed them. They're massive compared to the stock ones. Hopefully they'll keep those VRM temps in check so I can run full throttle on the...

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I thought the radiator had built in fan headers for easy wiring. Why aren't you using that?

    Testing Shows Recent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE Cable Meltdown May Be Due to Uneven Power Distribution

    The only thing we as consumers can hope for would be that these manufacturers build facilities in the USA to make them here.

    Testing Shows Recent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE Cable Meltdown May Be Due to Uneven Power Distribution

    Yeah because the scalpers that are sitting on them with inflated prices have no intentions to actually use them.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Has Allegedly Been Liquid Cooled to 20°C Using a Household Air Conditioner, and a RTX 5090 Is Next

    You will burn up the compressor in those real quick. They make 4U rack-mounted water chillers that do what you want. They're purpose built for it so it wont burn the compressors up on them.

    Bill Gates Is “Stunned” at What Intel Has Become: “Basically Lost Its Way”

    I am talking about the main stream desktop processors. Not the HEDT stuff where the CPUs cost $2k. Because AMD had those, too. In 2018 AMD had 32 core HEDT processors. Main gaming systems and main desktops had 16 cores for AMD. Intel up to 6 cores. The fact they had 18 cores in some...

    Bill Gates Is “Stunned” at What Intel Has Become: “Basically Lost Its Way”

    Right, AMD came out with 8 core processors for their first two Zen generations. Then they started with the 16 core processors. All the while Intel had 4, 6 If it wasn't for that. Intel would probably still be rocking quad core CPUs with IPC increases. In 2018, Intel came out with 6 core...

    Bill Gates Is “Stunned” at What Intel Has Become: “Basically Lost Its Way”

    Nah, Intel killed themselves being greedy. Hiding new features behind high end datacenter products (IE: more PCIe lanes, more cores) and not innovating anything on the desktop side other than just mere IPC increases year after year. If it wasn't for AMD we would probably still be buying quad...

    Yeah and AOL was a billion dollar company in the early Internet days and look what happened to it after the dot com bubble burst? Just because you're worth a lot of money doesn't mean ****.

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    Wait what? I've seen a review of the radiator but he didn't mention that or I missed it. I think he was using, or tried to use, some fans with physical connectors on them that you could mate together without wires. Although he ended up having to use wires anyway because the mounting for the fans...

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I've seen the older mo-ra3 360 cool a CPU and 7 Titan V GPUs with a single d5 pump. The IV 600 will be able to dissipate far, far more cooling. You'd realistically only need one for all the components you're looking to cool, so having two is going to be a extreme overkill. Haha. Also, I do...

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I've been thinking about replacing the MO-RA3 420 I have for my build for the new big boy, but I don't think I'll need that kind of cooling. The 420 should work for my needs, more than enough. Its going to be cooling dual AMD 9654 EPYCs and a pair of either 3090s or 2 - 4 V100s depending on...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Will Perform Similarly to Ryzen 7 9800X3D in Games, According to AMD Exec

    I wonder if using programs that you can manually set the affinity on processes will help if manually setting games you play to the stacked cache CCD and leaving everything else on the non-stacked CCD. Windows, for what I have read sucks really badly at doing this on it's own. Linux, while a...
