About 1.65..

Awesome, my noobishness should be showing by now That was my first set of DDR4

Oof that shattered my hopes for 3600 c12. I will not give my memory above 1.5 volts and my modules is B-die as well.

But thanks for your reply.

Heheh yeah probably not the best for long term usage.. although you may find some posts saying its ok.. Mine can do 3200 12-12-12 with 1.45v.. they are pretty flexible @ 1.45v.. 1800 14-14-14, 2000 16-16-16, 2K 15-15-15 @ 1.45 or 1.475. Not bad.. That's why I didn't want to throw numbers around because it really depends on the voltage.. I think they do 2K 14-15-15-35 with 1.55 stable, I would have to check again as I didn't spend a ton of time there as I don't "like" to give more than 1.55.. but you can buy them at that voltage so it must be ok..

It's exactly long-term concerns I have at these voltages and the highest voltage rating I have seen out of box is 1.5 volts and that's what I stick to as max. Also I expect at least 6 years and hope for 8 years lifespan. So beginning with high voltage now is probably not a wise idea for longlivety.

Gskill is releasing 2 kits that are 1.6v.

I don't think those 1.6V are B-die. I'm pretty sure those are new DJR, throws timings out the window for raw freq. Looking at the timings I'm not even sure if any of those are B-die at all, some weird combinations, plus seeing B-die above 5000 would be a feat in itself. 3600 16-19-19-39 has got to be CJR or lower binned DJR still, since G.skill doesn't really use high end Micron

G.skill usually advertises the fact that it's B-die in their high end kits. No mention here.

That's a high voltage, even out of boks. I would questioning the long-term lifespan. For short term use, not so worried. But 1.6 volt none stop for years. I would be conserved unless a more knowing person can prove me wrong.

Oh dam. Hope it's only for use as a display adapter, else I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment for gaming unless it's really old games.

Well maybe I shut not be complaining about what gpu's I managed to get compared to this.

I needed two gpu's for my new build. I first considered gt 1030 for one of the systems. But found a gtx 1050 ti to reasonable price and later a gtx 1660 super. Yet I am still complaining as I wanted rtx 3060 TI and a rtx 3080. It's still not the same.

That's good. It's the same for me. Until I can get a proper gpu. Zen 3 don't have a igp.

No, just a Intel 'F' CPU that I thought I'd "save" the $15 on...... :kookoo:

But that remindes me - I did run a Hackintosh full time for about a year on the hardware I just posted here after Windows:

After years of using a 2014 Razer Blackwidow, I got me something for my birthday. An MX Brown Ducky One 2 with puddings. I then bought a full set of colored keycaps for around 15 bucks and bashed them together. I'm still getting used to the layout but my fingers really love typing on these.

I use these for work so no 60% or TKL for me.

iBruceypoo · May 2, 2021

LOL, I started with a Razer Blackwidow with MX blues and blue led backlighting, moved to a Ducky Shine TKL with MX browns - then discovered Topre (that tactile bump) and HHKB and never looked back.

Yea I know it ain't pretty - but it's also for work. :oops:

My life in black and white. :ohwell:

I've contemplated getting a TKL or a 60% but I need the numpad. I'm checking the layout of your board and I'm already having nightmares.

Not been messing with my PC much for quite a while and wanted to try out this case (JONSPLUS I100 PRO) im using a Ncase m1 just now and it's a great case but i wanted to tinker around a bit.

I'll be using my Cryorig R1 air cooler or Alphacool Eisbaer LT with a 360 rad in the top, i'll post some pics when i get the case.

sam_86314 · May 4, 2021

Got a bunch of parts for my server overhaul.

My old setup with eSATA was giving me too many issues, so I decided to completely rebuild it.

I wanted to actually use server parts for this build.

For the CPU, I got a Xeon E3-1260L for $31. It's a quad-core with SMT and a 45W TDP.

For the motherboard, I got a Supermicro X9SCM-F for $47 (plus $7 for an IO shield since the board didn't come with one). I wanted a server board so I can use ECC memory and other server-specific features.

I've given up on using eSATA to connect to all of my drives, so I picked myself up an LSI 9211-8i SAS controller for $65. It's been working flawlessly in Linux with ZFS, unlike the eSATA controllers I used in the past.

And finally, for the case, I got a Fractal Define R5 for $135. So far I'm loving this case, and I'm thinking I might get another one for my main system in the future.

I'll post a build log in another thread.

Probably gonna be getting some new fans since the ones I have are quite loud, and the board only supports speed control with PWM fans.

Ye olde 3090 had some new upgrades
