    Pentium G4560T in Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF?

    Can an Intel Pentium G4560T CPU be used with an HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF? This particular processor is not directly listed as supported on HP's webpage, but the Pentium G4560 (non-T) processor is listed as supported. Will I have any issues getting the T variant to work?

    What are the most important components for low idle power draw?

    I recently built a few computers this summer for various purposes and I was surprised at how big the difference in idle power draw between the two of them are (when running Windows 10 and the same power plan settings). PC 1: HP Elitedesk 800 G4 SFF (motherboard, PSU, and case) Intel i7 8700 2x...

    iperf3 speeds not symmetric on multiple adapters in Windows 10?

    I ran `iperf3` between two Windows machines and noticed that the speeds were not symmetric. I tested using both the built-in 1-gigabit Ethernet adapters in each machine as well as with 10-gigabit Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards in both machines. Here's the relevant output. I address the 10-gigabit...

    10-Gigabit mixed with 1 Gigabit Network on Windows 10

    I need a file server with a fast connection (random and sustained read/write speeds) to one workstation and a gigabit connection to several other machines. The other machines are render nodes for which a gigabit connection to the file server is sufficient. The workstation needs fast access to...

    Dual EPYC 7742s for 3D Rendering (part of a Render Farm)

    I do a lot of CPU rendering in Cinema 4D. I render 4K high-framerate animations, so they take a long time. Currently I have a bunch of mid 2010s laptops and a desktop hooked up and I use my own Python-based render manager to distribute workloads to each machine. Even with 7 laptops and the...
