Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Winter is coming!Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:14 pm Well, I am about to retire Ezekiel (my 64 core box that does about 47M NPS on the Asmfish bench).
This new box will do more than twice the NPS at 1/3 of the power.
If you want to pay for crating and shipping, I would send you that machine (but keep the sound proof box).
Warning, it weighs 100KG, so the shipping would be rather high.
And the 4 1200 watt power supplies suck juice with a slurp and a burp.
These are two recent messages from my power company:Code: Select all
Billing period Nov 16, 2019 – Dec 15, 2019 Compared to this time last year, your electricity use is projected to be 36% higher. That’s 1,166 kWh more than the same time last year.
In the winter, when I run it like gangbusters, I get electric bills of $600 to $700 per month.Code: Select all
You used 83% more than your neighbors. Efficient Neighbors 1,240 kWh All Neighbors 1,678 kWh You 3,077 kWh Oct 18, 2019 - Nov 15, 2019 This is based on 95 similar homes an average of 1 mi from you. Efficient neighbors are the most efficient 20% of this group. Learn more.
Guess you found your heating solution for long winter nights

Re: I bought a stop-gap machine
My projected shipping date is the 12/23> I realized last night when , when checking the site I ordered from, those who opted to get a window on the case ( I elected the solid aluminum side) , would get their builds faster. There must have been run on the solid aluminum side ( it was also a plus $30 item).Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 3:29 am Projected shipping date is 12/12/2019.

Re: I bought a stop-gap machine
The issue with RAM is simply a lack of large compatible modules. I plan to build with 256GB, but only know of one brand with 32GB sticks currently for threadripper boards. Fortunately G.skill has announced faster large modules to ship late this month. I'm waiting for that and a couple other things that may be available early next year before pulling the trigger. Since I won't be even close to a $7k price tag I'm waiting to get everything I want. In the meantime I ran a new dedicated 20amp circuit and bought a bigger double conversion UPS so I am prepared to start annoying my electric company.
Dann if you don't mind me asking, what do you pay per KWH for power? I live in Nevada, and it is 9.8 cents per KWH in winter and a penny more in summer.

Re: I bought a stop-gap machine
$0.107172 per KWh, so about 11 cents
Costs are based on average PSE residential rates for electric service ($. 088594 per kWh [first 600 kWh] and $0.107172 [remaining kWh]) and natural gas service ($. 97449 per therm) as of February 2013. Rates are based on usage of 1,000 kWh per month and 68 therms per month.

That's not bad. I should move to Montana, only 4.5c there!

wow - I just got my delivery date from Velocity - 12/23. Earlier, that was my "to be shipped date".Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 3:29 am Projected shipping date is 12/12/2019.

A modernized Baby Blue is coming home for Christmas - less than 96 hours.

Even an old fart like me can get still excited with something new ... I'm guessing this will be my last PC here on earth, I'm sure in Heaven, chess will be solved and no PC required ...

Re: I bought a stop-gap machine
For those perhaps on a more modest budget, the Intel I9-10980XE might be the way to go. 50M nps for a $1000 processor looks pretty good to me. A home built system could be had for under $2k.MikeB wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 2:07 amwow - I just got my delivery date from Velocity - 12/23.
