    Supermicro manual RAM speed setting

    Hi STH, I saw in the Supermicro BIOS a RAM speed setting that is manual. I've only used Auto. When I clicked it, there's a list of speeds. Say I buy a Xeon Gold 6130 but I want to save tons of cash and use 2400 @ 2666 or 2667. The new DDR4 is crazy expensive. Same with EPYC Can I just set...

    Our mining competition, gulp

    I didn't know altcoins had large operations like this Proposal - let's figure out what they're using Iceland for cheap power. They don't look to have traditional cold aisle containment. Hardware are those USB PCIe x1's?

    STH Crypto Miner Suggestion

    Can we get like GPU colocation in the STH lab? A GTX 1080 Ti mining 100% pays $200 a month. Even if it cost me $150/mo to colo, that may be better than having to keep it in my house during the summer months when I need AC. Buy one, have it mine 3-4 months straight and hope that the ZEC profits...

    Win 10 Desktop Virtualization - Hyper-V or VirtualBox

    VMware Desktop is out so I'm down to Hyper-V or VirtualBox as my virtualzation solution on my desktop. Is there any reason to go with one versus the other? Hyper-V I like that it's built-in. But a lot of things for Docker are built for VirtualBox not Hyper-V. I even tried downloading the...
