Cutting Back On GIFS
Added 2021-07-09 04:29:21 +0000 UTCWell, it looks like I finally figured out how to burn out my rigs 🤣
I just had to drop a decent chunk of change to replace the motherboard, cooler and processor on my main rig because the heat sink finally gave out. So I'll be cutting back on GIFS as they pretty much had my rigs running nonstop through the week. I'll still do them from time to time, and I'm thinking of replacing the planned Sunday Captions with a rotating set of captions, sequences and gifs. Let me know what you think, and sorry for cutting back on content.
I hope you're having a great week!
Tyler 😄

A very good idea!

Someday they will print circuits and chips on something that can stand up to the surface temperature of the sun and still work just fine, but till then keep a temperature gauge handy to figure out what is troubleshoot where the heat is building up.

2021-07-10 01:08:13 +0000 UTCI'll definitely look into doing that with my next rig :)

2021-07-10 00:37:39 +0000 UTCTrue, but I only have so many circuits in my house ;D

2021-07-10 00:36:16 +0000 UTCI got a nice new one installed, so hopefully I won't have any more problems too :)

2021-07-10 00:36:03 +0000 UTCYeah the coolers they give you with CPU & GPU's are usually only good for light work. That's why I used to upgrade them before I attatched an external water cooler to my tower. I've had no overheating problems since then.

2021-07-09 18:47:56 +0000 UTCNot a problem, they are fun but not at the expense of your having to replace rigs so often. You give us so much content as it is, I think we'll survive.

2021-07-09 12:55:44 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about the rig blowing up. As far as content goes, I'm getting plenty of content for my contribution. And I would agree with Punarotta, split the CPU processing load between two CPU's.

2021-07-09 12:00:35 +0000 UTCI'd assume GPU is the limiting factor here? ...can't think CPU being that important - it just needs to be fast enough to keep GPU(s) busy As for 32 core thread ripper - I've personally always preferred dual processor rigs as desktops - so I'd be getting e.g. dual 64 core EPYC. i.e. instead of single HOT cpu, two way COOLER cpus ;)
