Maybe people with servers/workstations. The onboard graphics capability of my Supermicro lga 2066 build is terrible. Video is pretty choppy (from an mpeg not a dvd). Literally any card is an improvement. Even the quite antoquated msi nx8400gs-td256e. 256mb of ddr2 iinm. I don't kmow about 4k or …

It's horrible. Makes my pits stink. And reeks ;) havok on electronics. This is though a happy story. I had my HP 54111d color crt oacilloscope (a vintage puter in it's own right, sports a 68000 uP) stood up against a wall. I had it covered with books and whatnot in the event a cat puked on it. Booki …

Yes once. Very deeply. I bought a PC Chips socket 462 mobo on ebay for 1$. NIB. Then blew it to smithareens. It died. And the biggest part of me died with it. I want my 12$ back (shipping included). I really feel this wound will never heal.

I have 2, wish I had more. Unbuilt. 1 has documentation, the other does not (I am actually ridding myself of all paper, and for many years have and still am scanning as much as possible that I don't absolutely need.as hard.copy. And that stuff too. And jettisoning whatever I can). So I may have the …

So you say you're still chronically tired. So what has changed? Better sleep ought to alleviate that. One would think. I have heatd people say their energy increased. A guy in his 60s once over 10 years ago. I knew a guy, mid 20s, who got diagnosed. And this bloke had clinical OCD (don't assume you …

SO ... got my Xeon Scalable lga 3647 silver 4114 chip in the mail. 10/20 cores, 2.3ghz. About 13000 on the passmark. Pretty smokin for 11$ shipped. I bought an Intel dual socket blade type board for 90$ shipped last year. It's a very long board, also very narrow. As soon as I figure out how to wire …

Get checked out for sleep apnea also, I was a zombie from it for like 3 decades until it messed my heart up and THEN they took it serious. Though I had my doubts about my heart from long back too, but it would never act up in front of the docs. I've got this inconvenient "healthy as a horse, strong …

People make presuppositions about dieting. Now losing 50lbs. is considerable, it's not like you have no knowledge of the subject. But 7 years ago I lost 66lbs. in 5 1/2 months doing something similar to this. 3.25 lbs. per week is not my goal. But I think I also have some knowledge of the subject. I …

I keep saying I'm going to jog in place. But don't want to waste my energy early. And by nigjtime I have none. I do not like walking around here. I'll either get killed or get in a fight. These jersey people are a bunch of deviant bastards. Regardless I'll never understand how people get up at 4 in …

Also don't neglect your mental health. There's always been a stigma around talking about mental issues, but we need to bring that to an end. - Alex I get that, but with me it's about a constant drowziness. Meds work for people, I'd never deny that (and they can also work against you, as the case is …

Dieting hasn't changed much. Doctors never changex anything. I am dieting, and it's encouraging to see my weight going down. I eat a quart.of yogurt 5 days a week. Hopefully when the weight is gone I'll feel better, lighter at least. My father who was very slim in his youmger years said he was …

when do you call a mobo OK? (x299 lga 2066)

I obtained an Asus Prime x299 mobo a while back. Usual disclaimer, for parts/not working/pos. I won't divulge why I made the purchase. It doesn't look too bad, a little banged up, methinks missing a heatsink on the lower right. So finally decided to give it the old 1-2. Plugged a fan into the cpu …
