Hi everyone, unfortunately for those who were interested in the RAM performance scaling, I don't have much to report. Out of the box, the 4-sticks setups works perfectly fine. It's stable, can complete a full MemTest86 run, and run under load for several days in a row. I've had it run 96-hours...

Alright, Thank you all very, very much. I should receive the last components mid-week if all goes well. I'll come back to report on the RAM situation once it's stable (or earlier to ask for help 🙃).

Thank you all for these recommendations, it sounds a bit complicated but I'm sure once I have the tools in front of me it will get clearer. If not, I'll do more reading, but yeah a 10% performance sacrifice in exchange for a hundred watts sounds like an awesome deal for a machine that will run...

Thank you for the primer. Maybe I'll try it. If I could get 25% less thermal dissipation with less than a 10% performance-hit, I would consider it a win.

That would be done by undervolting the CPU ? If 30/90 could be achieved, that would be great for summer. I've never done any tweaking of this sort though, so I'd be interested if you could link to a quality guide or conversation, something you know to be from experienced/trustworthy sources.

The model I ordered is the B650E version, I missed a letter in my previous post, good catch. EDIT: After checking, turns out that no, I didn't buy the B650E version. That's the name of the chipset, not that of the product, and I got confused ! I bought the ASRock B650(non-E) motherboard. The...

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your answers, they messages have led me to new rabbit-holes, all of which were interesting in their own regards. Regarding the possibility of going with HEDT platforms, it's tempting but the price increase is quite steep. It's clear though that ThreadRipper lifts...

Dear Arsians, 8 years ago, I came here to seek help in building a new machine that was to be used for virtualization, with the rather particular need that all VMs had to display a full GUI. 8 years ago, I knew little about virtualization. Today, I know how much more I have to learn. 8 years ago...

Is there an equivalent query for chrome extensions that let them list other installed extensions ?

@Jehos, thank you for overestimating my abilities that much ! @W00key, thank you for your advice on using ECC in case I chose a Xeon and C232. In the end I didn't, though, as I explain in the following post. So my MBA died on me just two days after my last post. It has been a brave machine...

Black Jaque, your recommendations are right on the money indeed. Thank you so much for this list. I'll probably go with one of these next month. To Jehos and Apteris, you are right, running a full VM just for an instance of Chrome is very heavy handed. I did not choose Ubuntu for any particular...

Alright so first of all thank you very much to all of you for your input. So as I understand it, the best solution in terms of achieving what I want and getting performances in the specific areas of interest for me would require to use hardware too expensive, and software wizardry too complex...

Thank you very much for the detailed answer Black Jacque. My initial thought was that a quad core i7 along with 24 or 32GB of RAM should be enough. $600 may look like a stretch, but again I'm already doing it with 3VMs with an MBA from 2012, so assuming I need a machine capable of thrice the...

Hi TurinTurambar, Regarding the OS licence, I'm willing to buy one and not count it against the budget I have set in my original post. I could, and I did consider to use a bare metal hypervisor (if I understand your post, I think this is what you're talking about), but I am guessing that the...

Dear Arsians, I'm about to build a new rig and I need people more technically knowledgeable than I to choose wisely. My use case is pretty specific and I'd like to build a machine that fits it best for a budget of ~500€/600$. This budget includes only the tower. The use case: My daily...

Does that mean that the hardware ID is not encoded in a digital way, but present in the form of an actual, physical structure that is different in each processor, like a hardware implementation of whatever algorithm they use for that purpose ? Is that what you mean by "burned into the CPU" ...

The thing I fail to wrap my head around is, the hardware ID still has to be used (along with the PIN. Correct me if I'm wrong). If it's used in any way, it means it has to be accessed before it can be used for any logic operation, doesn't it ? I don't understand how it can be used in any...

I think the part where you said "their accomplishment is making [it] manufacturable" helped me. Thanks for answering :-).

When D-Wave first shown its hardware (in 2010 I think, but I may have lost track), I was skeptical because the computer was used remotely and had been only very briefly described. What doesn't compute for me today is, if they have a chip that is in a state of advancement that is sufficient for...

I agree, and I guess the people who are trying to figure out what this computer really does agree, too. Which kind of leads to my question: Why is it that D-Wave can't itself assert wether or not real-quantum effects are at play in the computer they designed ?
