Question Need suggestion for PSU and case - LLM training PC

Hi all I want to build a PC that can handle training and inferencing of LLMs that are in the ~ 70B parameter category (eg Llama 3.1 70b) locally. I was going to put it off until RTX 5090/blackwell comes out, but unfortunately in the last week my current Skylake-X PC is on its last legs (faulty...

Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

Hmm, where do you think the i9 13900k will sit in MT, non AVX 512 performance? I'm guessing around W5-2465X - W5-2475X ?

Discussion Illegear Apex 27" - DP 1.2 in 2021?

A few days ago a friend of mine was asking me about the Illegear Apex 27" ( specs here: APEX | ILLEGEAR). The manufacturer is a Malaysian based OEM making various gaming-focused equipment. The specs of this particular monitor looks very impressive on paper for its price (Malayisan Ringgit 1,200...

Nvidia ending support for Kepler GPU

Well it seems Win 11 doesn't need WDDM 3.0, just WDDM 2.0. Oh well I'd just stick with Win 10 for now

Question Is power consumption of a CPU (or clusters of, in MP systems) an important decision factor when upgrading servers?

I recently came across a thread over at Hexus' FB page. There was a comment in the TR 3990X review post that reads " ...... People still think this field is packed full of people concerned with value, price to performance or power consumption." I'm not sure if s(he) is referring explicitly to...

Whom is still rocking an Athlon / Phenom II (even X6), or a Core2Duo/Quad? X58 users too.

Just upgraded from i7 920 to i9 7920x in October 2017 ( TR 1950x was out of stock at that time). Might donate it to some missionary or rural hospital in Africa the next time I go there. They were still using P4s a few years ago. Its power consumption is a problem, though (power is scarce in...

Who's buying Skylake-X? (You may now change your vote)

Hahaha my X58 BIOS battery is still alive and kicking, but my i7 920 is certainly showing signs of ageing.....

Who's buying Skylake-X? (You may now change your vote)

Waiting for TR and i9 to be available and reviewed. Am curious how much IPC improvement CFL will bring over KBL, though (doubt it will exceed 5% based on what we know so far, apart from corner cases).

How is your Nehalem or Westmere processor holding up in modern gaming?

Running GTX 1080 on my i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz (7970 died). Mostly playing dota 2 @ 5k - don't see any reason to upgrade CPU as GPU utilisation is contantly > 90% at that res.

Multiple Displays

So..my old R9 280 died and I decided to upgrade to a GTX 1080. I currently have 4 monitors requiring 5 display outputs: a Dell UP2715K (2x DP), Dell U2711 (1x DP), HP LP2475w connected to a receiver for audio (1x HDMI) and a trusty old 15" (1x VGA). During my 280 times I borrowed my friend's...

Broadwell-E Owners Thread

Probably 6800k. 6900k if i have more spare cash. My nehalem has served me well but I can feel its time is up. All i'm waiting is for GP100. Or maybe I should go 6700k/gtx 1080 now..
