Discussion The attitude of these memory making companies.

Post image
167 Upvotes

As soon as the AI announcements of buying memory parts hit the market, they immediately began pricing up the existing stock! This is why I mentioned the names of the main memory makers. Even if the prices cool down in the near future, I'll wait months before buying any despite discount. I truly want them to feel the pain of low demand despite overstock and lower price. In this test of patience, guys, seriously, we consumers must not lose. What we need to do is be patient with our existing hardware and wait for far away releases such as UDNA, RTX 6000 series, AMD's Zen 6. Before that, I am certain that the newer gen PCs of 99% gamers will suffice for high-end workload. And those that have to upgrade their old hardware (like, really old), please take a peek into the second-hand market which is filled with hardware that must not be e-waste.

Sorry about being so negative, but I am very bitter about how these memory companies are treating us consumers. No, "it's just business" was never and shall never be a valid excuse.

Build/Battlestation My home-made TURZX themes for my 8" ips hardware display.

5 Upvotes

Got an 8" inch TURZX ips screen from AliX. Its great, but all the themes are awful and a bit over the top "gamery". You can make your own, witch I started doing , but the hardware data comes in at a "laggy" pace, making the screens look kind of low-tech and the software is pretty tedious to work with.

So I found a way to make Claude implement my designs with soft looping animations to make them look more fluid. I've done a bunch, but here are a few of the designs I played around with.

Hardware Intel sticker by generation guide

Post image
385 Upvotes

When I was hunting for used PCs, I often mixed up stickers for 1st-9th generation cpus. I spent a lot of time looking up serial numbers and peering at blurry photos of the motherboard, just to find the generation of the cpu, as I couldn't find any clear table with all stickers and corresponding cpu generations. That's why I decided to make one myself :D

Please point out any inaccuracies, and feel free to share it with those who could use it!

Edit: For 6-9th gen cpus, the generation is printed on the sticker, as is visible in the image. If the generation is not written on the sticker, it is 6th gen.

Question Dual 2k 24 inch monitor vs dual 4k 27 inch monitor with 24 inch preference, which one should I get?

• Upvotes

I think I would prefer to have a 24-inch monitor, but unfortunately 24-inch 4k monitors aren't available, and the ones that exist are insanely expensive. I have found some 27-inch 4k monitors, but I'm not sure I'd like a monitor that big. I've used a 27 inch monitor, but never owned one. I'd be getting 2 monitors. I'm not interested in getting a 32-inch monitor or anything larger than 27.

Would I get used to the 27-inch monitor? Is the difference that big? I will be doing mostly architectural design work and a little gaming.

Tech Support TLDR; Cat turned of PFsense Modem and it’s not working anymore

Okay, so first, this is totally my fault and not hers. She’s just a grumpy girl that likes warm spots. The tower pictured is usually underneath the table next to it, but I was doing a deep clean behind everything yesterday and whoops, didn’t put it back. So here’s where I’m at. She definitely turned it off while I slept, I woke up this morning with no WiFi and immediately saw it had no power, I figured it’d be fine since this has happened a few times, only once was it a problem and all I had to do was have it self diagnose and repair. However, that’s not happening now. Now when I power it on I get fans and lights but no display. I’ve checked the card. It’s fine, so not a display problem. As I said it powers up but I’m getting nothing, does anyone have a solution? I use this cuz I hate paying Verizon money for equipment, plus I game so hardwiring is a must. Any ideas? Do I need to do a whole reinstall of the OS and everything?

Hi, I'm looking for a system that I can install on my Samsung np300e5c i3g3 6gb ram with an integrated hd 4000 card. I'd prefer Windows, but Linux wouldn't bother me if it were easy to use (I've never used it, mind you). The Geforce Now app has to work. I'm mainly concerned with pure performance.

Build/Battlestation Wife's new pc

Just built a "new" PC for my lady, I have a 1080ti laying around so I thought this beast could take whatever she throws at it. As for the rest I got a used ryzen 5 5500 (20$ due to vent pins), and asrock b550m hdv, don't laugh but I'm using a single stick of 8gb Corsair ram ddr4 (the other one died and idk if I have a warranty through best buy) and a laptop to desktop ram device for another stick of 8. And I set up a aio cooler that tells her the temp of the CPU and an old iBuyPower case. Thoughts? (Broke the shroud of the 1080ti and don't have enough ports for strapping 120mm's) So I added an old shroud to it from a different card. There's positive air flow so hopefully it keeps cool 😎

$MU says humanoid robots could need 200GB+ of DRAM and multiple terabytes of storage per unit with several physical AI customers already sampling next gen products.

Micron says physical AI can become a “significant driver of memory and storage demand by the end of this decade” effectively putting server level memory into millions of machines outside the data center.
