    EU Microsoft Project Olympus Dual Epyc 7003 Boards - 87,12€ each

    Yeah using it as a NIC won’t be possible without a lot of work - these are 3rd gen catapult cards which are designed to offload a a lot of the overhead of virtualized networking and other cloud related things. They are very much not designed to exist outside of azure. The repo does have the...

    32gb optane modules

    I bought like 8x of the 16gb ones forever ago and the seller sent me like, 40 lol. I’ve been using them for random SBCs and silly arrays over the years, I think one was DoA otherwise they’ve all been totally rock solid. Not like I use them that hard though.

    Full Height (FH) FibreChannel LTO 8 Tape Drive for IBM TS4500 Tape Library

    Did you have to do anything special to get the drive to come up? Apparently they can be in library or standalone mode?

    Full Height (FH) FibreChannel LTO 8 Tape Drive for IBM TS4500 Tape Library

    IBM only seems to mention the TS4500 as a compatible library. I bought one, by far the cheapest LTO 8 drive for sale. Will hopefully not be awful to use standalone... Are FH drives 2 5.25 slots or 3?

    W790 Motherboard discussion thread

    I certainly wish I had a 60 core SPR-WS vs a 16 core when compiling pytorch/vllm! It's nice to have so many PCIE lanes for a GPU workstation, otherwise yeah it's pretty overkill.

    Largest memory bandwidth system with ddr4

    Bullshit - you got a quote? With CPUs? Also, what’s the perf compared to an M3 ultra with 512GB? Those are only 10k or less. FYI, I was not the person suggesting the SSG. It wouldn’t work either. It’s old. It’s amd. Icelake + optane is under 1k and will give you 2TB of memory and achieve 1-4...

    Largest memory bandwidth system with ddr4

    Yes, very attainable and affordable! Just gotta sell the extra house

    ES Xeon Discussion

    Unless you plan to load everything literally to 100% max power at once, like 600w on the 3090, you’ll have more than enough power. I run 3x4090 and an overclocked w5-3435x on 1600w. I do power limit the gpus to 400w though when they are all loaded. 450W on all three trip the psu. The cpu...

    W790 Motherboard discussion thread

    I have the x13SWA with an 3435x, works really well with some extra VRM cooling. Otherwise it’ll throttle when overclocking. Only 6 phases but that doesn’t seem to matter.

    Findings with Asrock W790-WS, Xeon SPR-SP D0, and BCLK OC (and lack thereof)

    There’s a good chance this doesn’t apply, but with my Supermicro x13swa, both setting the Pl1/PL2 and the current limit overrides require 2 resets. The Supermicro board makes this pretty clear because it has settings that explain that a reset is needed to set the MSR to allow the override, then...

    LGA 3647 torque specs

    I read that as they apply equal pressure when locked, not when loading. Watch this video - (totally random selection) It seems like the cpu is always level in the socket. Sure the hinge applies some force, but that force is limited by the active arm even when unlocked so the CPU is not at an...

    LGA 3647 torque specs

    https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/design-guides/core-i7-lga-2011-guide.pdf Page 28 There is a hinge and active lever. The active lever puts even force on the socket, IIRC the hinge lever puts no force on the socket. It’s been awhile since I’ve touched on of those...

    LGA 3647 torque specs

    I've found in practice doing that tends to lever up one side of the heatsink, requiring a lot of force to push down the other side. Doesn't seem great for the socket. I do know the heatsink says otherwise. 3-4 do come last I should say, but 1-2 always seemed to make sense to tighten together. I...

    LGA 3647 torque specs

    Just watched it, uh, it shows someone using a power drill quite haphazardly screwing one screw all the way down at a time until the drill clicks a few times. I’s imagine that’s like the worst possible way to install any sockets heatsink. I always use a star pattern at least, though I have never...

    AMD Instinct MI350 288GB GPU Offering 35x AI Inference Performance Next Year

    Does anyone have more details on the FP4/FP6 support? Is it the same as Blackwell (micro scaling) or something else?

    X11SRA-RF weirdly beeps at booting

    I think that’s just the normal x11 beep sequence. At least, that’s what my x11 k1spe board sounds like too (the only board I have with builtin speaker still lol).

    Some sort of backplane-to-19-inch adapted thing on Aliexpress

    Interesting - the description mentions something about a baidu specific sas card (/the card needing to be in raid mode?) - so maybe these are baidu custom bits? Kinda weird, these look pretty used.

    [SCAM] Lot of 80pcs Lenovo P4610 6.4TB U.2 SSDPE2KE064T8L

    Yup, but they just pass that onto you. They really don't do much about stopping it. It would be very easy to perceptually hash the images from every listing and if an account suddenly submits 1000s of new items with all closely matching images to old/existing listings, shadowban. I've seen my...
