    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    I think you are correct. I do have a PWM fan on the CPU. The other case fans were connected to a fan controller built into the Node 804 and powered by molex (I had forgotten about that). I ended up moving the GPU to a Gigabyte H270n-wifi ITX board, which only has two 4-pin fan sockets - one...

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    The fan is 3 pin and connected directly to 4-pin FAN3 port on the motherboard (X10SLM-F). IPMIView shows it running at 5700 rpm which I am thinking is 100% speed. I set the fan profile to "Optimal" but it did not make a difference. For context, this system is in a Fractal Node 804 and I...

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    These cards are now down to around $70 before fees / taxes. This is a good idea! I got this 3D printed plastic bracket and a Delta 50x50x10 blower style fan. It is not quiet, but now nvidia-smi shows the card idles at 30-32 C and gets to around 60-64 C with 45-50 W of load. I played a bit of...

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    As an update, I purchased one of these cards for ~$80 all in. Arrived in pristine condition about three weeks later. Signed up for the GRID host drivers which come with Guest drivers too. My first inclination was to put it in my desktop and use it in KVM, but I couldn't get the mdevs to...

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    These are still available, now around $75 / each. Any new experiences with these cards on Proxmox? I am planning to get one to use one vGPU in a Win10 Sunlight game server VM and another vGPU in a Ubuntu Docker VM for Frigate and TensorRT.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I am getting "Failed to add ICX [192.168.x.xxx]. The ICX already exists. Please enter a different one." in my Unleashed (200.14.6.1.179) logs. I recently upgraded my ICX7150-c12p to 09.0.10e from 08.0.95f and I may have inadvertently removed the switch in Unleashed then re-added it using the...

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    So, if you pass through the P4 as a P4, by default the card is in TCC mode in the VM? If you pass through the P4 spoofed as a Quadro, the card is in WDDM mode? Earlier in the thread:

    Tesla P4 - 8GB / US$ 100 or even lower

    I am interested to know what non-gaming use-cases people have for Tesla cards like these in homelabs. I am thinking about getting one to play around with in a Supermicro Haswell-era system with no GPU / iGPU and Proxmox. Full disclosure, I am kinda looking for a reason to get one... but I am a...

    UniFi Flex Switch is In Stock!

    This is an interesting idea! The specifications for the TL-SG1005P say it is powered by 54 VDC / 1.3 A. Do you happen to know what kind of POE injector and splitter would be necessary to power the switch itself and allow it to deliver around 7-8 W x 2 ports via 802.3af? I am contemplating...

    Lenovo M90n-IoT $200

    The ebay link lists 11AHS0B200 as the MPN, which is a M90n-1 Nano IoT and not an M90n-1 Nano. The IoT version does not appear to have two Intel NICs, whereas the non-IoT version does as the spec sheet above shows. Here is the M90n-1 Nano IoT psref: Onboard Ethernet Two gigabit Ethernet...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I have a r610 mounted on the ceiling in a closet on the main floor. Have a finished basement beneath and 2nd floor above. It is centrally located and basically covers the entire house with 2.4 Ghz, except for the very edges of the top floor. Some devices at the periphery seem to hold on to 5...

    Ruckus R610 Great deal 3x3 radio 802.11ac Wave 2 $99 each .

    10 more of these r610's were available this morning and just sold out, again same seller. Would a 802.3bt (PoE++) injector work? The r720 datasheet doesn't specifically say the AP is compatible with 802.3bt, but it does say PoH or UPoE can be used. Otherwise, the regular power supply...

    Ruckus R610 Great deal 3x3 radio 802.11ac Wave 2 $99 each .

    No. My r610 was wrapped in bubble wrap inside a cardboard box. Came with a T-bar adapter and some tiny manuals.
