Tucking my computer in the crawl space under the stairs on the other side of the wall from my desk is the best thing I ever did. Noise is zero, wire clutter is zero, and I don’t give a poo poo what it looks like, so when I had to punch a speed hole in the top of the case to fit my GPU in, even that didn’t matter. Add in wireless peripherals (kb+m, headset) and it’s a pretty drat clean setup. Lots of great space for all the other bullshit littering my desk.

Theres no reason to waste money on a server rack, just put a desktop in the corner of the closet this is a bad idea if you have any sort of files on your pc you want to keep long term. less bad if ssd only, but still p. bad

And its not like its at that temp all day and night, just when gaming. The SSD temp varies less than 10c in the closet vs out in open air (I tested it all w/ hwinfo out of curiosity)

Alternately https://github.com/jef/streetmerchant or a notification discord fairgame causes Amazon's anti-bot detection to activate for me and it has zero detection of the login captcha so it can't actually do anything.

Fauxtool posted:have you tried using the startup guide and smile.amazon like it instructs? Yes, I was already on Smile, it's the default. Fairgame would fail to login due to login-page captcha (I could see that it was not logged in), fail to detect it, and just skip to checking if there was stock. Since the entire point is for it to be an auto-checkout bot this made it essentially no better (potentially worse) than streetmerchant, which would at least pop a new browser and auto-add-to-cart. Also streetmerchant doesn't require a login which means there's zero risk of getting my account suspended, only an IP ban.

Im basing my recommendation on what works. One can be left on while you sleep, the other relies on your being awake and next to your PC. Maybe try running it though a vpn. Thats what i do and i dont get anything except the first login captcha, no dogs or anything You absolutely could get your account suspended with either. You think amazon couldnt tell that the IP pinging them is the same one buying? If you are being "safe" with streetmerchant sending a notification to a separate device that you order on then you are several seconds behind which is all it takes to miss your chance. discord and streetmerchant were viable in maybe the first 3 weeks, but they arent very useful anymore in terms of getting any ampere gpus Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Dec 31, 2020 |

I won't get to try it in another computer for a while. I'm guessing that removing the shroud voids the warranty, right? Gigabyte finally replied, they think it's a hardware problem and say to RMA it, but I didn't have the full scope of the issue when I wrote my ticket.

Maybe you guys can help me figure out what I'm missing here. As a "fun project", I've decided to swap out the heatsink on my card (Gigabyte GTX1080 G1 Gaming) for a Raijintek Morpheus 2. This of course involves messing with the fans. I brought two Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 PWM for the purpose, which would replace the 3 smaller fans on the card, which are connected by... VGA? Apparently that's what this is called? I was led to understand that by means of a VGA-PWM adapter and PWM Y-splitter the new fans could talk to the card like the old ones did, but in practice this hasn't worked. I thought I had a breakthrough when I looked more closely at the old enclosure and noticed that only one of the VGA headers on the card was ever actually connected to the fans (the other two were for the RGBs on the card) but it still doesn't work using that one, the only way I've ever gotten those fans to spin is by going to the PWM ports on the mainboard, which works, but I'd really like to have these fans talking natively to the GPU without having to run any additional software. (and I mean the mainboard isn't a bad solution, in tests I got the thing to hold at about 65 degrees C under sustained 100% utilisation at a hair below 1000 RPM, so, I could live with that, but...) Is this actually possible? Have I been misled? Can you actually use PWM fans natively with GPU headers?

Fedule posted:Maybe you guys can help me figure out what I'm missing here. It depends on the header used on the board. I'm using a pwm y adapter to run 2 a12x25 fans from the header on my zotac 3080, but some AIBs like to use different headers or pinouts. Could be possible you're hitting a 0 rpm idle mode on the card as well I guess. If you can't get it working from the board header you could try something like argus or fan control to run it from the motherboard but base the curve on gpu temp. Edit: I believe this is the adapter that's working for me: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T VorpalFish fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Dec 31, 2020 |

I'm happy to report that the EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 runs like a champ after undervolting to 950mv@1950 mhz to limit its power draw to around 330W max. I also run a Mini ITX board with NVME drives only with a Ryzen 3600 so that limits the total power consumption dramatically. I currently have an SF600 so I also had to use a PCIE cable splitter to provide juice to all 3 connections. Haven't heard a pop yet, and I don't see any magic smoke coming form the case. I've been playing COD Cold War, Cyberpunk, and Flight Simulator 2020. Timespy graphics score dropped from 17600 to 17200, so I'll take it!

Geforce Now trip report. The friend's place I'm staying at has 25/5 mbps Comcast, which in practice seems to allow up to 30 mbps though maybe not sustained. The wifi environment isn't that great, it's a mesh over a multi story condo with quite a few networks visible nearby. Wasn't expecting it to be very playable. GFN at 1080p60 with auto adjust for network disabled says it needs 32 mbps but still worked pretty well though it had the odd stutter. Very playable. Tried dropping to 900p60 (23mbps listed) instead and it's very smooth. Looks the same on the 14" 4K screen on the ultralight - slightly better since that was enough to let me re-enable Psycho lighting for GI. Quite impressive how well it's working in what is a much worse network environment than I had expected. Ordered a cheap used DFS-capable AP on Amazon when I got here and saw the somewhat congested network neighborhood but I don't think it'll be needed when it does get here.

Well, we opened the case up again, verified everything was connected, figured something in the chain must be broken, so, out came the multimeter, every adapter was confirmed working, we tested the fans direct PWM-VGA, fine, one fan through each side of the splitter, fine, and both fans through the splitter... fine. Turns out the whole thing's fine! We presume we must have hosed something up in the first assembly, but it must've been subtle, we'd've noticed if a cable was loose when we took it apart again. Gigabyte's stupid Xtreme Gaming Engine is happy again and I've got my fan curve set up, once again stress tested using Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (a CryEngine game) running at 4K (and 100% utilisation) for half an hour and wound up at an equilibrium of around 62 degrees C and ~950rpm, barely audible. I could turn the fans off completely when idle but the temp creeps up to like 60 on its own if I do that, so instead it idles at like 600rpm (literally inaudible) and around 42 degrees. Smiles all around. Eventually I'm gonna get more PWM fans for the case and then this thing will literally be silent. Big Air, motherfuckers. My CPU is now about 40% heatsink by volume or like 60% by side area.
