Figures, it ran for 5 hours looping passmark last night on stock freq (3.3ghz) without ever bsod. I think I am going to try a better/harder cpu test, like prime95 or any suggestions? I like to test with OCCT. https://www.ocbase.com/ But I don't really like to stress test my PC much more than 5minut...

I found my notes on my Asus P6x58-e-pro with i7-980x/24gb/gtx480, trying win10 (v1709 two years ago) it randomly bsod (nothing like the bsod on i7-920 every hour). The i7-980x bsod gave "whea.unrecoverable.error". When I have time I will try the latest version of windows. I am going to need a psu a...

I am still itching to try the 2689-v3 (passmark ~18,000, 12core/24thread) and the x99-FT motherboard combo, i can easily sell the current setup to a friend. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000440445220.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.30b41531isLKHY&algo_pvid=7a1c8399-76a8-4836-9c0c-150dc939b95c&alg...

I am loving the xeon e5-2689/32gb/rx580 system I just put together on win10, it has a 480gb SSD, but I think for $68 I am going to try the M.2 512gb ssd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000116726517.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.74613c0055ekfT&mp=1 After reading tomshardware, the speed and price of this ...

South Australia lost their main 700MW extension electricity cord to Victorian coal power for the last ~10 days. But they still have the secondary 150MW link. https://reneweconomy.com.au/south-australia-to-be-energy-island-for-two-weeks-four-wind-farms-sidelined-30929/ The loss of ... transmission li...

Public electric ebike scheme now in inner Melbourne city area. The local government partnered with Uber, I wonder if Uber hope some folks will start delivering food on them because they are electric... So its a dual win for Uber. What the video in this report... https://www.9news.com.au/national/jum...

Never seen these in before, now there are Drone and Plane ALL-IN-ONE.
Can do VTOL style flight because the motors can turn from vertical to a horizontal direction for more distance flights.

suck on it treehuggerz. those tailing ponds are here to stay. with a massive expansion possibly being announced at the end of this month. i.e. oil companies ("managing" :pancake: ) good to see Tara Nelson managed to escape Yegreville. altho would have thought she made it little further afield, if n...

I wouldn't expect much from China any time soon. Social media is riddled with these types of Coronavirus forced extractions and fighting. https://twitter.com/DVATW/status/1224757480254779394?s=20 https://twitter.com/darkcityfm/status/1224521693064048641?s=20 Looks like in another few weeks time it w...

Is there any special version on the x5675 cpu I should buy or any $20 version will do? My stock i7-920 shows 4900 on passmark, thats at the stock 2.66ghz, a decade ago (lol) I had it up to 3.9ghz w/o adding voltage, but the games back then did not need it, so I been running it stock, curious what i...

At the end of the day, Tesla has done an awesome job of fully aligning "Performance" with "Lithium-ion/Electric" instead of just beastly combustion engines. Luxury cars like Mercedes have proven there is a huge market for expensive luxury cars, Tesla proved there is the performance in electric, it's...

These TeslaCharts Chartcast interviews have been very interesting to listen too, created by https://twitter.com/TESLAcharts The latest podcast "Episode #8: @TiffanyPhoto1 - Tesla Solar Victim", is a bone-chilling account of one solar customer’s experience with Tesla Energy. If you are unfamiliar wit...

It's pretty hot Australia wide right now, including Melbourne, so its a good time to see how South Australia with its large Wind setup is doing... The most interesting thing I can see (which I have seen before) is the "Big Telsa Battery" (called the Hornsdale Power Reserve) data on some pro-renewabl...

OK, sounds good, I will toss it back in the gigbyte i7 system where is has lived for 8 years happy, check it there first, then if still not working try my usb-sata adapter. The PlexHD MB only has 2 usb3 ports on the back (there is a MB connector for 2 more for front panel), I bought the cable for $...

Same, does not see it in file explorer. I also looked into the bios, the sata port is set to ahci by default, so I tried IDE ENHANCED mode, now the ssd boot drive was not recognized, switched back to ahci, it booted, but not 2TB. Any suggestions? Don't have many suggestions, changing it from AHCI t...

Thanks for the replies. My i7-920 with a fresh latest win10 (1909) loading, it lasted two days w/o any issue, then tonight it bsod death "driver_power_state_failure", bummer. It happened when copying USB3 HDD to internal 2TB HDD, not sure if its related. I have the power manager to never turn off t...

@ TheBeastie 1. My gigabyte MB (GA-EX58-UD4P-rev-1.0) does not show the x5675 as compatible (I have the latest bios f14k), it shows upto x5570, do you think the x5675 is compatible or the x5680? https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-EX58-UD4P-rev-10/support#support-cpu 2. If I replace my i7-920 w...

Thermal solar finally put out of its misery.. ...what caused a once high-flying startup to shut down its $5 billion Crescent Dunes solar plant in April 2019? https://techstartups.com/2020/01/06/1-billion-solar-plant-obsolete-ever-went-online/ I like how the article says SolarReserve had an aggressi...

My stock E5-2689/32gb/rx580-8gb cinebench cpu 1111 My new system has run for about a day, time to toss it in a case, pretty happy for such a low cost. I bought the $21 snowman heatsink/fan with the 6 heatpipes (the $18 has 4 pipes), max temp showed 50 degrees C (realtempGT), of course this was not ...

I think the "electric flying Taxi" has a big future. If I was entrepreneurial billionaire this is what I would get into. When I look at the already available Hydrogen Fuel Cell quadcopters that can fly for up to 4 hours depending on the model/size of the hydrogen tank, it's clear that it scales even...

I ordered the E5-2689/32gb/MB for less than $200 shipped and a rx580-8gb for $145 shipped (mainly for the 5 monitor output), I will report back when I get them and fired up. I got all of it, not bad 15 days shipping to California. Loaded win10 pro in 8 minutes :D .But it's old win10 1709, I am goin...

Watching this new Engadget review YouTube video of the Audi e-tron, they said something I have never really heard them say but we all know. They basically say this below in the video: "Fast charging your EV shortens its battery-pack life, charging your battery to 100% every time shortens your batter...

No matter what drone/engine tech is used, people cost money, yes. That's certainly one of the reasons why manufacturing in this country is so shafted, we aren't cheap to hire. The whole issue here was to point out that people are the most expensive part of the usage of drones in business, I am cons...

I have been saving a few interesting reports in energy lately for the "next page" of this thread... But since HillHater/others have not been on this thread to argue if co2 emissions is linked with climate-change which strictly speaking is not meant to part of this thread, then I guess I may as well ...
