    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    My power supply doesn't have 12 pins for the CPU, only 8 as 4+4. To be honest it's made no difference to me since I am not overclocking anyway. Either way I've been playing around with this build and it's a beast! My only tweaks so far are as follows: Enabled EXPO for RAM so that it runs at...

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    Finally was able to put it together and it works just fine with only the 8-Pin EPS-12V connector. I set the CPU to run in 105W ECO mode and undervolted the 3080 a touch, now I need to spend some time tweaking this beast. Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone!

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    My older PSU doesn’t have the extra 8 pin tagged for the CPU, I only have a single 8-pin that can be broken up into 4+4, I suppose I can use another PCIe connector as the 8-pin and use 4 of the 8 CPU pins as the 4-pin if I had to. This is the max 8 pin connectors for my 650W power supply which...

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    There may be an obvious answer to this but my power supply only has a single 8 pin CPU power cable while the motherboard has 8+4 pin sockets, I can't imagine that a standard 7900X needs 12 pins of +12V but the manual isn't very helpful (connect 4+4, or 8, or 8+4). Is there any reason to use 8+4...

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    Just picked up the rest of the pieces after seeing the release of the timing and price for the X3D, here are the remaining picks: RTX 3080: Installed it temporarily in my old rig, it runs great with a reduced Vcore curve and a lowered power target. Plan is to sacrifice a bit of performance in...

    Yeah that was my original plan but it turns out in Canada the 7900X is actually cheaper than the non-X

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    Re:Intel, the main reason I want to go AMD is that I can run the CPUs in 140W mode and retain most of the performance. I could save a few bucks by going Intel but then I would have many years of sitting next to a space heater! Good point regarding the PSU: mostly I put that model as a stand-in...

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    Good catch on the RAM, I will make the change! I guess the other option is to look at the 12GB AMD cards (6700xt or 6800), the problem is that all AI/ML runs on CUDA. I could also take the RX 470 from my current system temporarily. I'm just not seeing GPU prices going down much farther from...

    Question 10 years later, it's time for a new build!

    Interesting, would 8GB VRAM matter at 1440p though or is it only a concern at 4k? V-Cache should be interesting but I suspect it will push me out of my budget for marginally better performance The 7900X3D also looks like it will have a wonky configuration where the the extra cache is on the...

    Edit: I can't believe I have been an AT Forum member for nearly 22 years! Currently running an i7 3770 (non-k) that has served me fine since forever but is definitely getting long in the tooth. I had been wanting to upgrade in 2020 but prices spiked and I decided to make due with what I have...

    Cellular Insights: Intel modem in iPhone 7 worse than Qualcomm

    4.5 dB less sensitivity is a huge difference in a receiver (2.8x less sensitive). Path loss is quadratic to distance so to have 2.8x as much power, you need to be ~ 7.8x closer to the receiver for equivalent performance. There's possibly some issue with the specific phone they have or their...

    New memory from Micron/Intel

    I just found this thread as I had posted something very similar in the memory and storage forums. I can definitely see something like some near-future platform that would have 8-16 GB of on-package HMC, 128-512 GB of XPoint and TBs of spinning rust or SSD depending on how much you're willing to...

    [PCPer] Intel/Micron 3D X-Point is finally here!

    Yup, you're right about that, my mistake. Nonetheless, I would think that they could make some significant changes to the memory hierarchy in the near future. Smaller amount of HMC on-package for lower latency and higher bandwidth than DRAM, then put some 3D-XPoint a bit farther away in larger...

    [PCPer] Intel/Micron 3D X-Point is finally here!

    NAND will stick around for now but if 3D-XPoint has a 10X density advantage over NAND, it will end up eating its lunch sooner or later.

    Please critique my quiet build

    I got the X-650 (sorry, typo in the original post) during a newegg sale for $130ish, it is definitely overkill but it's passive and ultra quiet up to 300W, which is why I got it. Done for the 3770, sounds good since I wasn't going to overclock anyways RAM: sounds good to me Mobo...

    Please critique my quiet build

    I'm due for an upgrade, coming from an undervolted C2Q 9300 and moving to an Ivy Bridge build. Usage: Photoshop and Premiere CS5.5, some light gaming (no FPS games, gaming is not a priority at the moment). No overclocking on this one, I'm looking for a nice, quiet build. I'm in Canada so all...

    Kaido's 2009 Camcorder Guide

    After spending a lot of time online reading reviews, I believe that in the mid-range price ($600-$700 Canadian) these are the top two cameras out on the market right now. As an aside, I refuse to buy Sony's flash-based camcorders on the basis that they still use Memory Sticks. Here are my...

    Best platform for scientific modeling?

    That may be true, then again it may not, it really depends on the specifics of the simulations he is running. It's unclear from the OP's post whether the 4 GB was the working memory footprint for each simulation, or the the output file size of a simulation. The advantage of the X25-E array...

    Best platform for scientific modeling?

    I agree with the two previous posters and look at the Mac Pro dual i7. Keep in mind that Lenovo just announced their Nehalem EP-based D20 & S20 workstation and Dell just announced their Nehalem EP-based workstations today. Intel is rumored to be formally introducing the Nehalem EP this coming...

    EvilYoda's CF thread

    Regarding the callouses, I have to tell you the best thing you can do to avoid breaking them is to make sure you hang from your fingers, not your palms, when you do pullups. It will be more difficult at first, but oh so worth it when you're not tearing your hands apart every week. My hands used...

    Nice CFT numbers, particularly on the SP strength and congrats on the muscle-up! Did you do it on rings or on a bar? I still haven't been able to eek one out, I keep getting stuck in the transition; I struggle for a few seconds trying to get enough of my body over the bar and eventually drop...

    Why did they choose to go with copper wires for HDMI?

    Fiber is more fragile than copper although for consumer applications you can usually put a jacket on it that's stiff enough to prevent it from happening (remember that the actual fiber itself has a radius that's much smaller than 1 mm). As Spidey has mentioned, while the fiber itself is cheap...

    I got a city with 2.5M people but my energy management score was in the shitter (D+). I had tons of money so I just bought all the power I needed, I don't know why they penalized me for it (I ended with over $200k in the bank).

    Well when you're talking about bonus money, the point actually IS that you can potentially make money in the short run. I wasn't interested in grinding out 5000 hands of poker to make it to $500 and was quite willing to accept the fact that I might lose it all. Hence, the Martingale was a...

    The probability of losing each individual hand is always the same. There is no correlation across the hands; as you say, the deck is shuffled every time. The probability of an n hand streak is what I was expressing here. If you've lost 6 hands in a row, you've got a roughly 50% chance of...

    Truthfully, I wouldn't have done it if I had to invest any of my money either. I could very well have busted out very quickly and gotten nothing out of it. Basically I was just hoping variance would turn things my way; and lucky for me it worked out.
