You ain’t seen shit kiddo
ooh dual socket! what is it for?
It’s a supermicro x8dal-i with two xeon x5650 from 2010. 6c/12t each, base frequency 2.33 GHz, turbo to 3.2 GHz single core, 3 DDR3 ports each in two Numa nodes, for a total of 24GB at 2400 MT/s. It only supports PCIe 2.0, for a 1060 3GB.
It’s slow as hell in single thread, it’s acceptable in multi thread. It doesn’t go out of memory. It sounds like a lawnmower. It boots up between 1 min and 6 min. It overheats and shuts down in summer (hence the desk fan and the little fan blowing on the chipset). It chokes that 1060 with its slow PCIe. Lots of sata, only one 128 GB SSD. Most games from before the 2021 run. Overall pretty cool. It has two Intel gigabit Ethernet.
Both windows 10 and Ubuntu are taking a toll on it. But I bet a nice fresh install will fix it. But I won’t do it because it’s not my main kick anymore
My pc can run modern games more or less but only if I remove the side panel which prevents the voltage regulators on my graphics card from getting so hot it overheats the vram.
Maybe don’t buy a modern gaming graphics card from a shitty no name brand on aliexpress
If you’ve got it, flaunt it
pffft cases. real men need no case. we manually jump pins with a screwdrivers to boot
You set the bios to always turn on when power is back and use the switch and you just unplug and plug it from the wall
genius
Amazing
Yikes
Ye olde “a case doesn’t need to be fancy, it just needs to be a box”
