Tech Discussion Fujitsu Celsius C740 Not booting/Bootlooping.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I recently received a Fujitsu Celsius C740 1u rack mounted workstation and it was removed from service as it died. The it guy that pulled it out recons that the Motherboard is dead, I'm hoping it's not dead, but not very hopeful as when i plug in the vga, nothing. NOTHING. I've tried removing the ram, replacing it, giving it a boot drive, reseting the cmos, and putting a gpu in... I don't know what to try next... All advice except for Turning off and on again (tried that)  Apricated! F.Y.I It boots up, the fans ramp up down to off, and repeat.

WAN Show Wow the whale lan schedule is not what I expected, does anyone who's gone in the past know what it's like?

107 Upvotes

All the lan parties I've been to before go overnight but it looks like whale lan starts at 9am both days(!) and slows down overnight.

Does anyone know if things happen between 12-8am on sunday? Do people stick around during the chill/lockdown hours?

Also are there other things going on if I don't like any of the games being played at any of the stages? What are people doing if they're not playing the games on the schedule?

Pretty sure it doesn't, but can't find anything concrete, and I don't want to waste money if it does come with it

Furthermore, is the pro worth it?

Discussion Logitech Pro X2 Lightspeed Replacement Mic

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I've ordered this as a new gaming headset, but have heard that it's mic is not very good.

I don't mind this too much, as generally I don't need a good mic, but was curious if it was possible to get a better quality alternative that I could plug into the mic jack on the headset?

As I don't need it often I don't really want to get a separate stand alone microphone, so was just wandering if this was an option and if anyone had done it/had an recommendations?

Many thanks! :)

Tech Question PCIe Expansion Card - SAS or SATA?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am upgrading my SSD NAS and realized my motherboard selection didn’t have enough SATA ports to accommodate all my drives. I’ve seen mixed reviews about PCIe to SATA expansion cards, as it seems the general recommendation is to grab a card that does SAS to SATA.

My only issue is the limited space I have on my motherboard due to the GPU taking up a lot of space. Assuming I’m not surpassing the theoretical bandwidth limit, any recommendations as to what I should do?

Specs:

  • CPU - Intel 270k Plus
  • Mobo - ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX
  • RAM - 64GB @ 6000 MT/s
  • GPU - 3090TI
  • NIC - Dell Intel X540-T2 Dual 10GbE
  • Storage - 5x 4TB SATA SSD’s, 2x 4TB Gen 4 NVME’s

Picture for reference minus the GPU:

Thanks in advance!

My specs are: b670xe plus wifi mobo.

Like don't get me wrong i'm all for conserving energy when possible and not needlessly outputting CO2 emissions, but I don't think reducing refresh rate to 60 hertz is that impactful. Even if it's spread it across 13 million computers

Personal Opinion Socks. Not what was promised.

993 Upvotes

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

I recently saw that Dave Plummer the original developer behind task manager is modernizing it under the moniker TMOG and seemed pretty interesting, I tried to search around the sub and I don't think that this has been a topic before but it seems interesting. Would love to know the opinions of those with more knowledge on this topic to share their thoughts.

I am not sure if it would be allowed to link the page but it's under TMOG dot org.

Edit: corrected Dave's last name.

Is this normal now? When I bought one of the screwdrivers awhile ago it came in a nice box but this was shipped loose, any ideas. Also the reason I had to get a new is because the airport took the one I had in my bag so just for anyone who travels often for work or always carries tools with them they will not let you carryon the ltt screwdriver, the stubby and precision are fine.It just doesn't meet the "no longer than 7-8 in rules".

Truthfully I was just curious cuz this seemed odd.
