each phase is around 30 watts
8+2 phase deisgn
huh
250 watt TDP
probably means can really pull up to 400 watts lol
or more under extreme.
no wonder why EVGA ones are triple slot.

I completely forgot that I haven’t encoded Cowboy Bebop yet and which takes up a whooping 130GB as a rip.
Encoding it and deleting the rip will free up some nice space but it seems I forgot to rip Ep.2, so I have to do that again (and find the right one in all the “title0”/“title1”/etc. files that are NOT in the proper order.
Also, it’s Sunday 6:10am here already and I’m trying to decide if I’m going to stay up as long as possible in an attempt to somewhat fix my sleeping pattern again or…just say screw it and go to sleep when I feel like it. Not that I have any obligations right now but still. Days go by so fast and no shit gets done when you sleep most of the day and are up all night.

This is kind of a big deal for nVidia. AMD has been overbuilding their cards for damn near a decade now, going as far as direct FETs on digital PWM on their $200 mainstream products. nVidia meanwhile has been using generic MOSFETs with shunt resistors like neanderthals, even on “premium” products.
The reference board for the GTX 1080 Ti was a literal joke of a design when it came to the VRM, and it’s nice to see nVidia address that with Turing. Especially since we know how much the efficiency curve has been impacted with the inclusion of not one, but two proprietary compute clusters along the standard raster shader core architecture.
Turing is hungry for power and nVidia looks like they have every intention to feed it. If they don’t pull a stereotypical nVidia move of kneecapping the overclocking headroom with turbo limits like they did with Pascal we might actually see these cards stretch to some pretty impressive heights on conventional cooling.

Maybe I should just watch movies while I lay in bed sick… this sounds like a good idea.

Project Space Writing Report :
Chapter 3 is going well. I’ve reached the point where the character is learning a new language. I’m stealing a method from HG Wells. In the Time Machine the character learns the language. You get a small slice of that. I’m doing that in this chapter. So the reader gets a sense of the language but I don’t have to invent the rest of it.

Blizzard really did a retard move with the soundtrack of the latest expansion for WoW. The only ways to get it is via Apple iTunes, Spotify and as part of the 100€ Collector’s Edition.
Just let me buy it via Amazon or Bandcamp or even from the Blizzard Store. But fuck iTunes and Spotify and I’m not paying 100€ to get the same shit I already have + digital !!! soundtrack and a useless metal “coin”.
And then companies are wondering why there’s so many ship on the high seas…

So…do bluescreens due to “stop code: memory management” tend to be a thing to be concerned about?
Just had one, Windows Memory Diagnostics didn’t find anything wrong but the error in the event viewer shows this as the event that initiated the bluescreen:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000061941, 0xfffffcaf02d7e810, 0x0000000000000009, 0xffffd2838faf4950). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 781485af-58a1-4480-8ac2-712c46728ea1.
Yeah you could have something wrong with your ram.
Try using Memtest instead:

I’ll try that tomorrow. Gonna be a pain in the ass paying that much for new RAM if it’s what caused this (I already know it’s not on the motherboard’s compatibility list).
edit: yup, as I thought. I can’t find any 16GB RAM kits that are on the list for sale anywhere. Just the crazy 128GB kits. if it turns out to be faulty RAM I’m gonna RMA it an get whatever cheap 8GB kits until I get it back.

Its either bad ram or a dieing memory controller

Or just windows being a dumbass as usual. Lol.

Either would be a pain in the ass.
How common is it for RAM to act up? This is the first time this happened (there might have been a bluescreen or two before but I don’t remember what caused it, anyway it’s been a long time since then). Plus, I’ve been using the PC since it rebooted from the Windows Memory Diagnostic thing without any issues (~4.5h).
I could live with that. Even a fresh install of Windows would (probably, cause it’s Windows we’re talking about so anything could happen) be easier to handle than dying hardware.

Depends on the ram lol. Tends to be fairly random as most ram will out live its usefulness.
Keep a eye on the event logs and run a 24H memtest. At the most you will have to replace you cpu. at the very least all you had was a bit flip in memory that caused a blue screen

I’ll rather buy new RAM. RMAing the CPU is gonna take a few weeks probably. Not sure if Amazon would replace it again (got it replaced already last year).
Why so long?
CPU RMAs always suck
Bad memory doesnt always show itself as soon as you start testing it. Might start to produce errors after a few hours, lets it do multiple passes, etc

Gotcha. Gonna let it run as long as possible but 24h are gonna be tough as I can’t do shit during that time…looks at laptop…and tablet…and phone…and shelf full of books…

A NAS would be really handy for situations like that where I can’t easily access the HDDs in my desktop PC…
Solution: probably gonna buy an ext. drive where I keep most of the stuff I usually watch/listen to.
Pff…and you thought I’d actually build a NAS this time

Yes it would be the perfect solution to access your files anywhere…
eh you actually had be going there for a second
