What 3 laws, if I may ask?

 

[stinger608]

What 3 laws, if I may ask?

Probably the 3 laws of robotics
1: Never harm a human
2: obey humans
3: don't harm itself.

Just guessing LOL.

Ah i see. Reminds me of Robocop directives.

 

[Athlonite]

Ah i see. Reminds me of Robocop directives.

Actually they come from the author Isaac Asimov

First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

strange as it sounds these have been around since 1942

Have you ever watched the movie I-Robot with Will Smith in it

So i´m back with an update and i will tell a little bit of what i have done to make it work with 2 systems and 1 psu and of cause show of the new gpu in the system.

So the problem with the psu is no matter if 1 or bofh systems are turned on. It sends power out to all sata and molex cable. That means bofh my fan controllers will all ways be on and all fans are spinning and the same goes for sata HDD/SSD. That´s not something i can live with as it is waste of power, wear and tear on components.

So here is what i dit to by pass those problems.

First i got my hands on a simple sata controller with on/switch for op to 4 drives and 3 are in use now. This allows me to turn on only the needed drives or no sata drives at all. Saving bofh power and wear and tear at the same time. Also minimisses HDD spin up and down times and making them last longer. So on the image below you seed the little simple controller. Got it on amazone.de if any one would want to know.

Here is what i dit to control power to fan controllers. I simply took 2 molex exstention cables and cut the 12 volt wire and made it longer and put a on/off switch be tween that wire so i can cut power to the controller not in use. Home made by me.

A look from back of the pc, so the switch´s can be seen on sata controller and my home made solution to fan controllers.

For all the Lian Li Uni fan SL120 i use 2 controllers to control the RGB. Yes i know first image has the controller turned down, i had to do it so some cable cut reach the controller and connect properly. The seconds controller is hitten behind a closure normaly to hide wire mess. But here you get it unsesored. The controller is at the buttom of the image.

Next up is another problem that needed fixed. Dark Hero only has 2 USB 2.0 headers and i need 3 (2 for the rgb controllers to fans and 1 for the fan controller). So i got a USB 2.0 splitter. Again up side down so cables cut connect properly and there is one left if i feel like to more upgrades in the future.

View attachment 227615

Lastly the new NVMe SSD coolers with fans. The little mini-itx system has one as well, but cant be seen as it is hidden by GPU and a PCIe riser cable.
View attachment 227616

And now for the GPU.

I had to re wire more 8 pins cables as this card needs 3 8 pins. So before and after.

That was all.

I think the question on everyone's mind and I hope I haven't asked it after someone else has but, Can it really run Crysis??









I'll get my coat.....

I hope its running whatever you game on, buttery smooth!!

 

[phill]

Have you ever watched the movie I-Robot with Will Smith in it

Love that film

Yes I have watched I-robot a long time ago. A good movie, but don't remember if these words where in the movie.

No it can't run Crysis as I don't have it. But I'm sure it can run Crysis remastered I do have. But haven't tried it yet. Right now it's Far Cry 6 I game and that runs just fine maxed out and I can tell it a noticeable change from gtx 1660 super to rtx 3080.

I'm glad you notice the difference my good sir!! I'm be utterly horrified if you didn't! Thanks for the posting of the card, glad you finally have one!!

 

[Tomgang]

Haha yeah I would be rather disappointed if there was no difference at all.

Yeah its nice to finnally have one. Not gonna upgrade when 4000 series comes. I need my economy to recover from all this speeding freenzy. So 2022 will be a boring year when it comes to spending money. But that's how it is. You can't just use and not save as well or you put your self in dangerous position when you need savings the most.

And you are welcome. You asked for a project thread a while a go. But I think I am finishs now with the system. There is only new second monitor and a new hdd more. That is all that is missing now. But that will take some time before going to happen. Now it's time to recover my economy.

With a new GPU, are here a few Time spy/firestrike benchmark. Time spy cpu benchmark scale really bad with all these cores/thread and that has a negative effect on the cpu score. GPU is maxed out while CPU just has PBO on and no other ajustment or fine tuning as CPU score dosent count that much in 3Dmark benches.

Fire strike total score is 39504

Now that christmas is fast approaching. I setup my pc for some christmas celebration. Just as all ways, image are in bad quality as my phone sucks. But try look pass that.

A short video of it.

Where did you download that fireplace desktop @Tomgang ?

Edit: Okay, never mind, I seen your other post regarding this YouTube video.

Pretty damn awesome!

Thanks. I do like how it turned out. RGB rainbow puke, can be used for something that sets a mood up as well.

Might gonna playing with the RGB coluer some more. Like try with some green amorhe red.

There is not so much news since last post. Inflation and war in Europe and the nasty economy risk of a recession. Force me to hold back on spending frenzy.

But I got a second Psu as a back up unit for my system. For those wunder why I dit it because it's a unique psu that supports running 2 systems on 1 psu. But this is the only one capable of doing it as far I know. So if my current psu dies and can no longer be buying it again in a few years. It will render my system useless or at least only one system can be used at the time. So I jumped the safe way with a back up unit.

But I played around with my 5950X and I actually got all 16 cores to be able to reach at least 5 ghz and the 3 best cores up to 5.25 ghz and it seems to be stable. While at more heavy load maintaining a clock of around 4.6 ghz on all cores like in prime 95. I think that's desent for an aircooled 5950X. However everything above 5.25 ghz and it crashed with even a light load. It can boot to windows, but crashes as soon I just open a game. All in all I am fairly pleased with my 5950X a. D the combination of cooling. It has taken me way far than I hab hoped for. The downside is the power consumption of 1.2 gigawatts the Flux capacitor need to allow my 5950X to reach these clock speeds. More seriously power consumption at full load seems to be 200 to 210 watt compared to stock 142 watt. But still a Saint compare to what a 12900KS swallows stock

Prime 95 load it reaches temp of 73 degrees celsius with all core load and up to 78 degrees Celsius with the single core boost. Well what you expect with clocks of up to 5.25 ghz.

I can also say almost a year now after I build it. It has run great with no hiccups or problems besides those that are my own fault with example failed overclocking.

Hi @Tomgang, I have a question if I may,

How do manage to have one keyboard and one mouse and work with two different systems?

Also thanks for sharing your great project,

Subscribed as well.

 

[tabascosauz]

@Tomgang just noticed, your Fabric clock is desynced all the way down at 900MHz. 3200 RAM not too fast but the 900MHz IF is leaving a lot of performance on the table

I use this switch. Is has a wired button you just push to switch between two systems. It does not switch automatically, it's done manually. But it's cheap and it works well the 10 months I have used it now.

Hi,
Nice

Good luck with that g910 keyboard numbers pad when to shit in short time on mine and I dumped it on craigslist got another g710+.

Hmm the 900 mhz must be a fail read. But you are right, there still are a problem. IF clock is to low. Is 1600 and shut be 1800 mhz. That is now fixed.

Thanks. So far after nearly a year of use. No problems to report with G910 keyboard. Infact i am happy with it.

Hi,
Yeah mine took a couple years before it started messing up
Weight/ size wise 910 is a giant feather compared to 710+ logi.. must of cut a lot of build corners it seems to me.
