    Amazon stealing STH images now? LOL

    also supermicro do not have good high res photos on their website. so i would imagine a img search with that text with high quality should pick up quite easily. still no excuse though.

    Monero Mining Performance

    Patrick are you sure the GPU is forced to run in its highest performance mode? I know just running ccminer for me is not enough for my 980 to stay in its highest state and the hashing rate can fluctuate quite randomly. the 1070 results are very low..

    Random Hardware

    wow, what a thread. I am so glad I did not send any money. I told him it would take 6 business days to move funds from my accounts to his paypal and he said no as it would take too long and the stuff would be sold by then.

    Power supply router?

    my grid in tariff is $0.40 kwh and rising every year. enabling eco options on idle and 80+gold or higher power supplies makes a measurable difference. if they are 24/7 machines correctly selecting the correct power supply is quite important. i recently purchased a 80+ titanium unit for a 24/7...

    Asus ROG 10G express network card 90$

    wow no heatsink. specs say 6.4w with 100m cable at 10GBE with what looks like under 4ms latency. also looks like there is no flash or EEPROM chip so no firmware updates. according to the spec sheet it does support TCP offload.

    for those who wants to build their own 10gb switch

    +1 on power consumption. my ubiquiti switch runs about 15w with half ports being utilized at 10GBE. you will never achieve this in a comparable x86 setup. there are many x86 switching operating systems out there. but they all have the same drawbacks. on x86 you will be burning cpu cycles just...
