    CPU cooling trick: safe? would you do it?

    Before you read: if you have an allergy to "different ways of doing things" you are gracefully advised to press the exceptionally useful "ignore" button on my profile, that will save you tones of time. There are dual block water coolers for dual CPUs, makes sense, right? 2 CPUs, 2 blocks, 2...

    Say Hello to "BlueFox Fantasy quartet"

    After 15 years in my 1st career, + >1 decade in a second career (>20 projects), I start my 3rd career (because why not) in a sector that is begging to be shaken up. Why would I put in the money? the answer is a 3-letter-word that everybody hates. In tribute to BlueFox for the best compliments...

    ASRock GNRD8-2L2T – PCIe Slot Bifurcation & NVMe Hot-Swap Clarification

    Hi all, I’m evaluating the ASRock Rack GNRD8-2L2T motherboard for a PCIe/NVMe-heavy workstation/server build using an Intel Xeon 6521P (Socket E2 / LGA4710, 136 PCIe Gen 5 lanes). Since the manual doesn’t cover all the fine details, and I’ve yet to hear back from ASRock, I’m hoping someone...

    Motherboard for dual Epyc 9965, one that actually works and fits a 5090 GPU

    Hi, need/use case: High Performance Computing. I found: (1) GigaByte MZ73-LM2 Rev. 3.x E-ATX: as well as its predecessors have the famous ""WAIT FOR CHIPSET TO INITIALIZE"" issue and the Gigabyte support that let's you down. (2) TURIN2D24G-2L+/500W: doesn't seem to have the usual PCI stuff...

    seeking: cheap opnsense/pfsense hardware recommendation

    Hi folks I have two switches (SX6036 and ICX7450) with 40gb qsfp+ ports that I'd like to use for connecting to the router. My current router that I purchased before I got the switches with sfp/qsfp ports only has RJ45 that can handle 2.5gb (this cwwk box). I could go down the path of...

    What AM5 MB for a workstation?

    I'm slowly getting ready to upgrade my 7 years old desktop, and after about 20 years of hiatus, I think I'm ready to get back to Team Red. Looking at the current processor portfolio, I narrowed my choice down to 9900x with 96GB of RAM (2x48G). However, choosing the motherboard is much more...

    Advice for an AM5 board/build with 40 G fibre?

    I am in the process of transitioning from the venerable X99 (and E5-2697 v4) in my workstation to an AM5 system. The CPU choice is easy (9950X) but I am curious about the motherboards as we know AM5 is a bit scant on PCIe lanes. What I am looking for is a (workstation) board that will serve: -...

    No love for Intel LGA3647?

    Hey. I haven't heard a lot about this socket since they first came out with the weird PHI CPUs that were apparently a dud. Is there a reason they're so frequently passed over? They look super inexpensive on the used market now, basically starting at next to nothing, but the only real...

    Asrock Rack ROMED4ID-2T: Ram compatiblity (QVL/non-QVL)

    Howdy. I'm looking to pick up one of these boards if/when the prices drop again this November. I remember reading in Will's review that he mentioned the board supporting up to 256gb DDR4 Rdimms... but there are none on the qvl. Additionally, the qvl list seems a little sparse for any of the...
