Anyone want to control their fans

It works on my system as well able to control both cpu and gpu fans independently the guy who created this software is a GENIUS

I saw that in my Youtube recommendations this morning, just when I'm looking to add fans in my system. The algorithm did a good job for once

 

[Edwired]

For once it works I was able to control the fans depending on the cpu or gpu temps. Now have to rewire the fans to the motherboard so I be able to control the rest of the fans in the case than rather keep switching the switch on the fan controller which have 5v (Low speed), 7v (Medium speed) and 12v (high speed)

Can anyone tell me why I get this error on the memtest v4.3.7 it happens on stock and overclocked state as I don't see the memory issue popping up it seems to happen on core 3 and 4 during the tests. I did abit of reading online some say it nothing to worry about and some say it failing and some say it a bug in the memtest software. It always start in the 5442.5mb range no matter what I did to the changes like timings and voltages and different ratios in uncore and dram freq

Strange thing is that with the timings set to the SPD spec there's alot less errors compare to the timings set in auto producproduce alot of errors but all of the rams are tested ok no faulty memory modules

Update : Looks like I found the problem in the first set of timings turns out that the motherboard and the memory were trying to set trrd to 5 while the rest set according to the SPD spec produces the errors in the picture above so I put the trrd to 6 and the problem disappeared. Unless it the CPU that wasn't too happy with the trrd being set to 5 who knows.

A while back I was still using a 3550 & wanted to see if 4 more cpu threads would help much in some games (it did). well for $35 I found an e3-1240v2. It's wild easily playing most games (at 1080p) w/ a 10 yr old CPU & 6 yr old GPU.

My router runs off a 1240 though I'm currently wondering if I should grab a 1260l lower tdp and that might help considering ambient ATM is +40°c

Also I can grab one for about the same price you paid.

Yea that could be an idea, but idk. I rarely see 50w peak (gaming), but indeed the 1260L should run cooler no matter what w/ the lower clocks.

It's either that or I look at a better cooling system but it's a 1u server I don't know how much better I can get in such a tight space and honestly I think the 1260l is cheaper than a heatsink.

Having troubles lately while trying to run 1600mhz which resulted missing dimms resulting 8gb in dimm A and C in the bios (used to work without issues before) but strangely enough all dimms appears working normally if the ram was under or around 1333mhz showing all 12gb. Might be a poor connections in the cpu possibly looked like I have shifted a few pins by accident during the cleaning process. Need to get some sort of magnifying glasses to see it up close. Or unless the imc in the cpu is degraded without going over the max safe voltage which I'm guessing.

Bad news the socket have missing pins some messed up badly as well touching eachother causing the board to go no post immediately since the memok led never change after 10 mins of resetting the CMOS and holding the memok button looks like time to buy another board somewhere

That can happen, which is why I always advise extreme caution applying more that 10% above rated voltage.

Can you not straighten the pins?

 

[Edwired]

I can't straighten the pins since some of the pins are missing the tips and some broke when I tried to put it back into their places as I did try the 1 ram per dimm to see if it will post but nothing worked. It pretty much a broken socket only way is to get the board repaired by a specialist but can't find any that can replace LGA socket in Ireland and one company in USA can do the repair but it cost about €250 give or take where I can find the same board in Germany for a lot less about €120 or less. I was worried about the board since the house fire back in October as it was exposed to heat, smoke and moisture but trouble started to happen with it in the last two weeks

Damn. That sucks.

That sucks too.

Hope things start taking a better turn for you.

 

[uni_0n]

Yo i have a civil Xeon E3-1290v2, still faster than stock 3770k because my motherboard is potato and overclocking has left the chat

 

[Edwired]

Damn. That sucks.

That sucks too.

Hope things start taking a better turn for you.

Some day I will get the broken board up and running just have to get in contact with the company in america to see what they can do to fix it. Just hoping it fixable as it has sentiment value to me

There's good news I managed to find fully working asus p6x58de-e with uk dpd courier for a total of £65.45p = €80 give or take quiet a bargain it comes with the original box and other bits. Just have to wait till Wednesday to pay the chap. Can't wait for the motherboard to come in a week or two. The other motherboard I will pack it up and have it ready whenever I get a chance to send it for the socket replacement in a few weeks time

 

[Edwired]

Well have good news the Asus p6x58d-e just arrived in Dublin, it could be here by Friday or next week hopely due to custom might need clearance (hoping they won't delay it too much). Lucky enough I might have a evga gtx 1060 6gb sc next week hoping the guy seal the deal for €75 as he having trouble with it in his itx case due to it crashing when the pc is moved or bumped. Spoken to him about it he haven't done anything to the card like replace the thermal paste or flashed a different bios

Not so good news customs in Ireland refused to release my parcel due to insufficient electronic documents and they are sending it back to the sender on the day it just arrived to the sorting office. Not a happy chap at the moment. So my computer going to be out of action for another month

To add insult the guy is refunding me £50 not including the cost of delivery and paypal fees for converting euro to pound so I am out of €45 in total

File a claim with Paypal.

I know that but it down to the fact that the guy send the parcel through parcelforce when I told him to send it by DPD that one problem then the second problem that anpost refused the parcel due to insufficient declaration papers and I spoken to an post and parcelforce to resolve the situation anpost won't give me a straight answer of why it got refused and parcelforce saying they didn't have any problem with customs even the sender filled out the export form. Now I have to wait a few hours later to hear back from Ecomm that deals with customs by email.

So again, file a claim with Paypal. Next time use a service like DHL or UPS.

It the whole Brexit mess. In my honest opinion to be honest I don't think all the post offices and couriers companies across the globe that didn't sit down in a virtual room to discuss the situation that arose but didn't do anything to fix it but pointing the fingers at each other

I may have stumbled across an Asus Rampage V Edition 10 locally here. If all goes well it should be an excellent replacement for my Asus X99 Deluxe that's been wonky lately.

Here the heatsink since I had to clean it a lot it has oxidation can't really clean the inside the fins. But it came out a lot cleaner but with alot of scratches which I'm not too bothered in the looks plus a nice touch from the oxidation is that it filled in the gaps of the noctua logo

 

[Toothless]

Did you steel sponge that thing or something? Looks like you straight up abused it.

I used emery board to scrape off the oxidation and to get to hard places but will try to clean it up with a dremal with a polishing disc one of the day soon
