"cheap"

Bro does not have servers

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just use 2 PB Google Drive as swap.

Considering I can encrypt it, not even that bad of an idea

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Y'all got any of that ECC?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

For a while the markeg hete was flooded with ecc and to a lesser extent sodimms, so cheap compared to long sticks

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

ECC registered DDR5 1*96GB 5600 MHz

RAM: "I need 2x16GB of DDR4, I'll purchase 2x16GB of DDR4 from literally any brand"

Mobo: "I need something to hold my CPU, let me check the socket, number of PCI ports, number of USB ports, how many of them are USB-C, how many of them are for power only, also my CPU has an iGPU but the Asus FU42069 doesn't have support. Only the MSI 8008135 RGB (military grade gamer edition) has it, but only has a single PCI 16x slot. The ASRock BLNK182 has iGPU support and 2 PCI slots but only USB 3.1 Type A Class S AMG Turbo Diesel"

I'm sorry, a power-only USB port on a motherboard?

[–] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I only use usb-c powered fans. 3 and 4 pin connectors are for little baby losers

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There are only 2 reasons I would buy a motherboard:

  • The current one broke
  • Want to upgrade some other part (usually CPU) and it's incompatible.

What feature would make you upgrade just the motherboard? Especially given how expensive they are nowadays (sometimes even more expensive than the CPU).

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I was thinking about the fact that my B450 board does not support PCIe 4.0 which, depending on m next GPU, might not be a good thing. Other than that, I'd maybe consider a mobo swap if I had new requirements like more and/or faster SSD slots or something.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

If you find out that your current ram is obsolete, you probably have lots of other ancient stuff in your computer too. By the time your ram is too slow or there isn’t enough of it, your CPU is going to be abysmally slow by modern standards. Even if your mobo is still fine at that point, it won’t support any of the upgrades you have in mind, so you’ll end up changing everything anyway.

[–] germtm_@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

i literally did both at once for my most recent upgrade.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Why re-apply thermal paste. I just hawk tuah and slap the fan on there.
