Question Genoa builders thread.

New stock on the 8124s did show up - still 80 euros over where they were a couple of weeks ago, but at least not 200+. Looking to get one at around 650 euros, they were below 675 for a fair while. Good info on the SP3-similarities - and I was eyeing the Arctic (which does not care about the...

Question Genoa builders thread.

So, got a good deal on the mobo, and it's now sitting here, but oh my god, someone bought all the 8124s and they went up 25% in price. Almost thinking about just going with either a 8024 or 8224, because the 8124 went from being most attractive in the low range to least attractive. RAM prices...

Question Genoa builders thread.

Yeah, I'm definitely expecting....interesting behavior. I'll have to make sure that I get most of the PCIe-components at the same time, so I can make use of the return window. It will only affect half of the SSDs, as the other half will use the onboard MCIO with a shorter trace to the CPU to boot.

Question Genoa builders thread.

Here's the english URL, just in case: https://skinflint.co.uk/wishlists/4214857, but it drops some items, because they're not available in the UK. But yeah, coming from having a ton of spinning rust in the old server, and only NVMe on the desktop, I wanted to take I/O on the server to the next...

Question Genoa builders thread.

Thanks! I was already looking for the pciex16 to SATA adapter from Asrock Rack, and that wasn't available in shops either, so hopes are restrained. The Kaléa adapters are fairly cheap, and pretend to be PCIe5.0 compatible, so that's actually a future-proofing measure which probably comes at no...

Question Genoa builders thread.

Not Genoa, but Siena, but hey, close enough? So, I started speccing up a replacement for my ~10 year old home-server. The thing is based on an original CoolerMaster Stacker, so I have to plan around a workstation-like layout, and I wouldn't know where to put a 19" case anyway. Here's the...

RIIIIIIISE oh Zombie-Thread! The first five races of the season went by in a blast, and it's kind of weird: The field is as close as ever, but there's very little racing happening (and TV-direction is often not showing the mid-field battles, while showing leading cars stuck within a second of...

Going from unable to catch a Haas to snatching pole in 3 hours of setup changes - crazy. This properly vindicates the new sprint format.

Well, that Brazil race was one for the history books. Winning by 20 seconds from 17th (okay, net 15th, but still) on the grid with a car that your teammate didn't get out of the midfield - with so many opportunities to throw it all away. Also, is it me, or is the Hulk always getting the...

You're right, I thought the single points difference kicked in earlier, but I guess it's only between 9th and 10th. Also, goodbye once again to Daniel Ricciardo - not being able to hang with Tsunoda was not a good showing, let's see if the New Zealander DTM "champion of the hearts" will do a...

But since they were 6th and 7th, it was only one point of difference, before they gained those two positions to fourth and fifth, when it became two :)

The higher you go in the ranking, the larger the points spread (in this case opening the gap by an extra point), plus he ruined Max's attempt at a fastest lap (worth another two points, plus one for Max, minus one for Lando). _Probably_ too minor to really make a difference, but just so...

Unlucky for Lando, to get caught out in qualy - but once again Perez showing how he just does not deserve that seat. Not only throwing away a potential second place in the battle for the constructors, but also giving Lando 3 more points over Max. With four DRS zones, I wonder how Singapore will...

Man, Checo's streak is dark. And so is Charles'. Mercedes being that fast across dry conditions was surprising, and McLaren's strategy was such a mess. Ultimately the elite teams still somehow shine, when the going gets tough.

Thanks for the same-time pole then as well :D Hope you're getting Montréal on TV at least - looks like it's going to be a cooking race!
