Re: Cost of building the site.

<r>Upgraded the CPUs, again. Didn't realize their were x5690 CPUs in the lineup. I thought the x5680 was the fastest CPU for that generation, but the Intel Ark shows the x5690 in the middle of the list, while the x5680 was at the top of the same list.<br/> <br/> Paid $104 for two x5690 Xeons.<br/> P...

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

Am I correct in assuming with this having a BMC and IPMI that I will be able to access bios settings, or choose my OS on dual boot, etc. across the network without physical access to it? If so that would be incredibly useful. I've never actually used that feature before so I wasn't 100% sure. Yes, ...

Re: Alpha Testing Ready

I'll link Icecold TAAT thread in our [H] forum. Feel free to post it on all the teams pages who you think would be interested in it. 8-) Keep in mind, if you registered once already on the old site at mindmockups, you'll need to register again on the real domain since the database was started fresh.

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

I wonder if AMD has a better chance of their boards supporting this since AMD isn't strict on their PCI-e lanes available to their CPUs.

Re: EVGA RTX 3070 Ti Queue

Man this is so tempting. I really want a 3080 or 3090 though. Been gaming on my 5700 XT, which I'm not too happy with. Seems to under perform. Have a 144Hz 1080P monitor and it'll barely do over 60 FPS on this GPU. It's one of the reason why I haven't really been jumping on those 5950X stock, becaus...

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

From what we have learned with bifurcation. Documentation on it is nearly non-existent. The board could have support for it, but not mention it in the manual. Best way to know 100% for sure is to boot into the BIOS and look for it.

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

Yes, the information was once posted in the private forums. Can't believe Kyle dropped them like a sack of potatoes. So glad I left that forum.

I wish we could get in touch with atp in hopes that he archived the tests he done or his memory is better than mine.

Been slowly adding projects to the database.

Need someone who is good at communication to reach out to the projects to ask if they're okay with being used as a Sprint on our site.

Some edits on the costs. I was billed twice, back in April when I got the new server. One was for $340 while the other bill was for $360.

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

Well hopefully GPUs come way down in cost soon, because 30+ 3070s will cost $30k alone. lol

Only reason I picked that setup specifically is because we know it will work. I don't know what to look for to determine if a motherboard will support that feature or not.

Re: Multiple GPU build ideas

Its hard to tell, but it looks like he used those to split the x16 slots into two x16 slots (x8, x8) but those x8 slots on the motherboard seem to have a x16 riser on them 1:1. or something. There are different sizes available of those cards he used for the x16 to two x16 slots. https://c-payne.com/...
