Got 2 of the 512GB's of that same drive.....They are frigging amazing!!! I hit almost 7000MB/s read speed with the one in a NVMe PCIe 4.0 slot!!!

That was on a Gigabyte AORUS ELITE B550 board with a 3700X chip.

That was on a Gigabyte AORUS ELITE B550 board with a 3700X chip.

How does that work? PCIe 4.0 has a theoretical max bandwidth of 16GT/s per lane with 128b/130b encoding, so 16*(1-(2/130))/8 = 1.969GB/s per lane, or 7.876GB/s for an x4 drive. Either your benchmark is faulty or you're exceeding the bandwidth spec of the drive, motherboard and CPU :eek:

LOL, sorry, it was 7000MB/s on the drive. I think it hit 69xxMB/s. Hit the 9 instead of the 7.
Edited to correct that.

I thought I'd share a few of my latest purchases... A couple a little boarder line for tech purchases but... I'll wing it!

First up.... Saw this one and thought, umm... HIS AGP card.... Why not!! Box is not in the best condition but it works (according to the seller) and I'll be checking it soon as I can...

Apparently this is how you ship two server PSUs.... In a stupidly huge box with not much protection other than a bit of what I feel can only be described as tissue paper.... What has the world come to people.... But at least they work so... I'm not complaining and for £24 for the two posted?? Utter bargain....

Now these next few pics I was looking at for a little while... I saw the motherboard and thought, I love that... but I kept from buying it until the seller knocked off over £100 from the price and even then I managed to bargain him down further... So for £160 delivered to my door.... (that's not including Sophia's new Skechers.... Another Ebay buy but they looked cute and had to share for giggles!!

Hopefully the hardware makes up for it.....)

Now all I need to do is find a CPU for it (I'd like to find a 2nd gen CPU but I'm not sure how easy that will be with prices... A mate suggested an Eypc CPU but sadly they don't work in these boards which is a real pain in the arse (compared to Intel for example, Xeons can go in main stream boards as well as servers, just a bios update possibly.... From TPU's video of Roman, it's a shame to say the least as my mate had found me a boxed 32C 7551P for $600 I think (might have been $700??? Meh...) Not sure it will make a great cruncher but I'll have to get a build out of it at some point.... Maybe aiming for a 2950X I think? 16C 32T seems to do perfectly fine in the reviews I've seen so that'll do me!

And last but not least and not really my tech purchase...

But I suppose you could call Weird Science tech as it's based on two geeks..... Either way, two amazing films!!

Got one of these Wolf Eyes Angel-C pocket torches for my girl as a birthday present. US$55 isn't cheap for a 3.5" torch but it packs a punch for its size at 260 lumens and 60 yard throw. It's rechargeable and has a nice selection of modes for light intensity. Far surpasses the garbage Energizer torch she was using previously.

jallenlabs · Nov 18, 2020

Nothing wrong with that! When I was single I spent a lot on tech too. Now that I'm married with a kid, I have better things to spend the money on. Though I do love getting new tech in the mail to play with!

tabascosauz · Nov 18, 2020

Some new Viper Steels, I've tested up to 4133 16-16-16, seemingly gets close to breaking the 108 second barrier at that speed in membench. But I feel like it might be hitting a wall somewhere be it the B-die itself, the Infinity Fabric getting saturated at 1:1 or something else, so the prospect of breaking 108 might not be achievable with daily voltage. I'm thinking it could also be that it's a frequency wall since it's A0 PCB, I was under the impression that the three B-die Viper Steels should be A2...

So with 4000 16-16-16 offering pretty much all the results and performance of 4133 16-16-16, I think I'll leave it there and start whittling down the extra VDIMM I don't need. Loving Renoir's memory controller and Infinity Fabric.

Had some airmiles that were expiring, so I had to exchange them for something or lose them. Got a Nest Mini, a USB drive and the game pad pro for my partners Nintendo Switch.
Not bad for "free" I guess, but I would rather have exchange the miles for a free flight.
Sound isn't half bad I guess, but it turns out I could pair it with my PC speakers, as they have built in Bluetooth and obviously sound a lot better.

Been running it for ~2 weeks at 0.9V/1950MHz since the stock power limit and 2-slot cooler means it's absolutely hopeless for OC-ing.

55 bucks for measly 260 lumens and li-ion battery that won't hold a charge in two years sounds an awful lot money to me. I gotta a present here from Chinese brand "kodak" that had an adapter from 3xAAA batteries to 18650. I got one from an old laptop battery and it probably does over 1500 Lumens with the 18650 and the torch is like 5 times cheaper I guess.

Saw the picture first, I thought you bought a Google mini. Looks exactly as mine.

@phill it's a beauty. I've always wanted one of those aftremarket GPU coolers back in the day. Was still a kid though, no budget for this kind of toys.

The HIS cards used to be my card of choice, trying to find them now though is somewhat difficult especially as I'm a fussy arse and prefer everything boxed... Ah well

Another week another build request. They want WIFI 6. There are others available but this is the most affordable name brand adapter. It's going into an As Rock B350 Pro with a 3400G. That MB is going to look sweet in a budget white case.

There are some on Amazon that are cheaper. I picked up one of these from my local Canada Computers and it does not ever drop signal. The same card is $79.99 on Newegg. Have you been as busy with requests as I have lately?

No. Actually on contrary, not getting any orders at all for a while.

People are more interested in buying a pre built PC as is and for cheap. Anything above $800 CAD and people say no.

The only way to build a "cheap" PC today is using an APU. Even the 5500XT or 1660 are not really good GPUs but I guess my market is a little different in the GTA as people are able to accept the cost of the 5600XT, 2060S and 5700.

5500 XT 8GB are fine. 1660 Super are also good. But otherwise, I agree.

I finally got my employee discount at my new job, so I got a few things...

First are some AfterShokz Aeropex bone-conduction headphones. These'll be great for listening to music or movies at work.

I got a great discount on these, though I can't say what it was.

They sound pretty good, though they have next to no bass. Still, they're headphones that I can actually wear that aren't over-ear ones.

I also got this for cheap since it's a store brand (also pretty much tells you where my new job is).

An Insignia USB 3.0 memory card reader. It'll be a good upgrade from my eSecure USB 2.0 card reader that I got six years ago.

It doesn't support MemoryStick cards like the eSecure one, but who even uses those anymore?

The last thing wasn't bought where I work.

My first Noctua fan; an NF-S12A. No pictures of the fan itself since it's installed in my media server.

Seems a bit quieter than my Arctic F12s, and the included low noise adapters are nice.

well it's tech related ... right?

mmhhh tech related for me some Murata VTC5D to compliment my Samsung 25R5 and a bunch of SQ+ (Stattqualm Swiss brand otherwise known as Squape a vape brand) battery wrap, because the original are thin and tear easily...i originally though i bought 6 wrap so i would have 2 extra ... but i bought 6 pack of 4 ... so i have 20 extra :laugh:

good job i think (for a first one), went for the "dangerous method", since my heatgun is buried under a pile of box :laugh:

easy, VTC5D black isolator ring 25R5 white isolator ring
