Re: My Latest 8-core Project
Nice, but... I think you are seriously suffocating those video cards!
The GT200b GPUs are rated for 182 Watts TDP, and they really need all the air and cooling they can get. Perhaps the way you have them may be just good enough for desktop use, but anything that taxes the cards even a little bit can make them overheat. IMO, you should check your temperatures with MSI Afterburner or Riva Tuner to make sure they are okay.Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
I went back to my NVS510. Different driver cured the choppy issue I was having. Teh pair of 4800's really didn't perform any better for what this machine does....and the temp in the case increased by 40*F....The system is much happier with the 510.

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
These cards draw air in from the front edge of the card, and there's 4 fans in the midplane...this case passes a lot of air. The cards exhaust out the back. It really doesn't get that hot inside the case, except that crazy hot fully buffered memory. 182W per GPU....they really don't get all that hot under normal loads, but if they were seriously taxed, I could see that for sure.Leave a comment:

Oh, and your center monitor looks like it's hanging right at the end of the desk, ready to fall.
Other than that, nice solid build!Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
Just another little update since I got a box containing 5x quadro FX4800's and one FX5800... The NVS510 was ok.... It was easy to overwhelm it (camera software with a 6~9 camera split would make it groan a little), especially driving 3 monitors. I put a pair of the 4800's in this system, which worked out well since each has 2x displayport connectors on it. The 5400 series Seaberg chipset doesn't support SLI, but that wasn't the goal here.... The heaviest used display of the 3 is the middle one, so it has its own GPU and is the primary. The secondary GPU runs the two on the sides. Under load, its a lot smoother. I only noticed one 'quirk' using 2 GPU's over 1, and that's only in firefox/waterfox. If FF/WF windows are open on the side displays (the secondary GPU), if you resize them, it FUBAR's the aero glass effects, making the address bar appear 'washed out' and hard to read. It does this only in mozilla, no other program has this issue, and I've not been able to figure it out. A FF/WF window in the middle display (primary GPU) never does this, even when the other are doing it. Aslong as you don't try to resize the windows on one of those displays, it doesn't do it....so you have to set the window to the size you want on the middle display and then drag it to the side display....and it'll be fine. It didn't do this using the single adapter. I eliminated hardware, as I played musical GPU's, they all did it....and only in firefox/waterfox.
Ohh well....such as technology....It still performs better!
pic of the quirk...note the address bar difference and the area surrounding the menu bar:
...and it only does this if you attempt to resize a firefox window on the side displays... I found no information on this anywhere.Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
Then you are probably better off keeping that GPU. It also only has a maximum consumption of 33 Watts. Compare that to the GTX 960's 120 Watts TDP. Granted you don't game on that system, so that GTX 960 will never draw that much power... but I'm pretty sure that even the minimum power draw of the GTX 960 will still be much higher than the maximum of the NVS 510. That NVS 510 probably uses no more than 5-10 Watts for desktop use, judging by the small single-slot heatsink.Leave a comment:

Actually, it functions very nice. I can have a dozen windows open, spanning all 3 monitors, no issues. video editing isn't bad either, rendering is handled by the processors & memory, not the GPU....photo editing is the same, not very GPU-intensive. I haven't tried gaming on it, I'm sure that would be its kryptonite.....but this machine is 100% about productivity, not playing games.Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
It's like the Windows User Experience Index - just bullshit numbers trying to get you to switch to new hardware.
Heck, this is even possible with a motherboard that has only one PCI-E 16x slot. The only requirement then is to have a PCI-E 1x to 8x slot with an open end, so that you can install your second 16x video card in it. If no open end, you can actually make a cut in the end of a 1x-8x slot so that it can take a full 16x card (provided there isn't anything behind the slot that will interfere with the card's PCI-E connector). I've actually done that to an ASUS A8V-MX motherboard. It's a socket 939 motherboard with onboard video, an AGP slot, and also PCI-E 1x slot. By cutting off the 1x slot, I can have a graphics card there as my secondary, working either with the onboard video or AGP video card, thus allowing me to connect extra monitors easily. I also tried it with some older games, the 1x data limitation wasn't actually noticeable at all - at least not with a low-end GPU.
Here's also a video showing this:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
Reran novabench after the reload with better drives and a newer SAS controller. Disk score came up a lot better....but this GPU is killing me!!! I need toe 4x DisplayPorts for my monitor configuration though. I wonder if I could run 2x GPU's, not SLI/crossfire, as that's not supported.....but be able to run 3~4 monitors off 2 separate GPU's...have to tinker with that one maybe.
Anyway:
It looks like PNY makes the Geforce GTX950 and GTX960 with 4 display ports that would offer a substantial performance boost without breaking the bank:

Or maybe it doesn't matter, I don't know. Either way, I just wanted to point that out since this ain't VIP.Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
I finally installed the CPU's and RAM, and here we are.
Server 2008 Standard only supports 32gb of RAM.... When I reload it, I'll probably go with Win7 Ultimate or Professional. Either of those go all the way to 192gb.....but that's moot, this system is maxed out on memory and CPU. The reload is coming....but nothing I'm getting in a big hurry for....Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
When I talk on the phone, I wrap it around the top half so its not pressed right on my ear. Fixes a few problems: the phone getting hot on my skin, keeps the glass from getting face goo all over it, and is far more comfortable on my ear....especially if I'm talking to my dad....we can go on for hours!Leave a comment:

Re: My Latest 8-core Project
Now that Gentlemen, is how we do that!!
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...1&d=1464196602
Until the 43" 4K ultrasharp comes out, bugs chased, and price drops, this will do just fine!!
The only question I have is, what is that sock doing on your desk (to the left of the mug)? I'm assuming it is a *clean* sock for wiping dust from the monitors.Leave a comment:

by sam_sam_samRight now Battery Hookup has these e-bike battery packs that are used but I am going to remove them and test them and see how good they are and maybe resell or reused them for another project this is for another day
When I get the rack mounted enclosure that I mentioned in another post I will see how well they fit in the enclosure and how much room I will have left

These battery packs are a little bit hard to get out of the enclosure because they were a little bit glue... -
by BladibladI have an interesting project here. I have a HP RTX 3060 12GB VRAM GPU with a shortcircuit between a (what I believe is) a coil and a cap. The short circuit is so bad that it will trigger a failsafe on the PSU.
I'm a beginner in this field and have managed to do only very simple board repairs so far. I have basic understanding of the components (mosfets, caps, nand chips) but completely diagnosing a board with schematics would be challenging. In this case though, I'm going to hope that replacing only the two shorted components will bring the card back to life (if none of the IC's... -
by EasyGoing1So based on some of the comments in my other posts, there seems to be some confusion or maybe some assumptions, I'm not sure exactly, so I wanted to hit the reset button on the entire discussion and make a few things clear that might not have otherwise been obvious.
First of all, the reason I post in this forum is that I simply do not have enough knowledge in electronics to do some things that I would like to do. So I post my questions in here and I try to be as thorough as possible MOST of the time, so that those of you who do take the time to respond, will be as informed as possible... -
by FireballczHello friends,
I need the latest firmware for Synology DS109.
The filename is DSM_DS109_3259.pat (about 170MB).
Umpossible to download from Synology, because their support for old devices is discontinued as of 2023-05-31.
Please does anybody have a backup?
Many thanks in advance.-
