Amazing
Ye olde “a case doesn’t need to be fancy, it just needs to be a box”
Yikes
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
Reminds me of the guys who submerged everything in oil.
pffft cases. real men need no case. we manually jump pins with a screwdrivers to boot
me last summer while I was saving up for a new case. Every day for like 3 months I would jump my motherboard pins to start my pc
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
If you’ve got it, flaunt it
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
Erm what the sigma this is a shitposting thread
tbf most the posts on this thread are just a political post followed by a literal shitty shitpost/punpostwas intended to be a meme based on the “are you a nerd test” where half the questions were about “are you on a PC with no case”, while my PC is running with no case because of longlasting troubleshooting shitposted with reddit front page emojis.
wouldn’t this be better on lemmy pcmr though more people would get the joke as well
probably
