It’s stinky and smelly and smells bad.

They did. But this is lemmy, where news gets recycled over and over again for months.

Especially when it’s Microsoft bad.

Well it is “semi modular” It’s just semi in the worst way.

16GB of DDR5-6400 BGA RAM soldered to the mainboard, and a SODIMM slot

But why? Just use LPCAMM

Consumer grade mobos with 10 gig onboard nics have some MASSIVE heatsinks for them to keep them passive.

I swear it feels like half the heatsinking on my mobo is for the network card and not the VRM or chipset.

This is for servers, not desktops, so noise isn’t much of an issue.

Buuut I’m curious why it has the fan isntead of a long heatsink. Maybe planning for homelab users in about ~10 years?

Also I’d just like to say: Fuck Broadcom. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Killing the 5800x3d was the dumbest thing. If it was still made it’d be the killer value CPU. I’m so glad I bought mine when I did.

SK 8xing production is impressive. I know open ai bought ~40% of microns memory production. So increasing production by only 20% is pretty low. But like you said they had horribly low (for them) ram prices for a few years so they’re just trying to avoid that.

Sk must be banking on Micron not matching the spike.

Unless you live in a desert, or some other area where added humidity is a bonus then “swap coolers” are doing more harm than good.

Windows 10 betas didn’t even come out until like 2014 so KDE beats them.

Are there any other cases you can think of where a custom-printed item is better than the myriad of mass-produced plastic items?

None at all. 3D prints are almost always worse than injection moulded plastic. Only if you need a very specific custom thing. Or it’s just convenient/fun to make your own.

It’s been trending the opposite for a while. Intel has mostly stolen AMD’s market share. And AMD has largely gone “me too!” to Nvidia raking customers over the coal.

It’s a security thing to have that warning. You’re not supposed to be able to bypass it for a reason.

If you don’t have the warning you can just relock the bootloader, but updates probably won’t work.

Only one affected AMD, forget which. But Intel knew about the vulnerabilities, but chose not to fix the hardware ahead of their release.

The atom is only gone in name. It’s now just “intel processor”. The N100 CPUs are in a ton of neat machines. And the E cores of Intel CPUs are just Atom cores.

Windows 8 also had to run on atom CPUs with dire CPU performance and even more dire memory configs. So even once it was booted it needed to be relatively slim and quick. I actually preferred it at the time because it was faster than 7.

Relock the bootloader.

I’m not, but unless I call the phone support I can’t get my windows to activate.

I’ve gone through an FX8120, 4560k, 4790k, 1800x, 3700x, 5800x3d, and finally 9800x3d all on the same cooler. Even if I do a big upgrade why would I want to change it if it’s working fine?

Finally this weekend it’s getting demoted to my server and I’m upgrading to a D15 G2. But that’s only because I’m upgrading my server and it’s 10 year old heatsink doesn’t work on AM5.

No it’s not. 95c is the target temperature on anything 7000 series and newer. Google says the 5700x throttles at 90.
