Kancept<p>I wish the Home Assistant Voice came in a black with translucent smoke case and red LED ring as an option. Some might say it's Darth colors, but I like to think it's more <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpad</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Thinkstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkstation</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeassistant</span></a></p>
Kancept<p>So, I decided to max the RAM out on my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lenovo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Thinkstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkstation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/P340" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P340</span></a>. It takes 128GB of RAM. It gets here, I install it, machine just turns off and on. I troubleshoot, and if I pull the ram from DIMM slot 4, it boots fine. Not a bad stick as I rotate through them and they all test fine. I reinstall the original ram (2x 16GB sticks) and I notice the same slot is bad. </p><p>Call in to get warranty work, get the mobo swapped, same issue. 🤔 While the tech is on the phone to get another mobo on the way, I get some idea that maybe it's an allocation issue since it's happening during POST- you know- like the old <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeOS</span></a> &gt;1GB RAM issue. I pull my 3.2TB Samsung PCIe AIC NVME and 💥, machine boots and posts all ram- including DIMM slot 4. I try my NVME in another slot and same issue. 😓</p><p>So, weird issue- I can't have a PCIe AIC NVME (or at least this one anyway) and have all 4 ram slots work in a Lenovo ThinkStation P340 tower system. You'd think for a workstation-class machine, this wouldn't be an issue. But here we are. 128GB of RAM or an additional 3.2TB of screamin fast PCIe NVME server-class storage. 😐</p>

Habr<p>[Перевод] Как я дерзко превратил свою RTX 4090 в eGPU</p><p>Как-то вечером в прошлом январе я, наконец, решил разобраться с перегревом моего домашнего сервера. Так уж повелось: если вентиляторы в ПК издают слишком много шума, чем, как мне кажется, должны, я начинаю искать причину. К тому же, RTX 4090 настолько толстая, что занимает на стандартной материнке 3 слота PCIe — а ещё ведь нужно пространство для полноценного обдува. В 2020 году я использовал эту же машину, которая достигала скорости в 11 миллионов IOPS и 66 ГБ/с на базе одного процессора AMD ThreadRipper . Однако, чтобы установить в неё RTX 4090, пришлось извлечь большинство SSD и (тоже горячую) сетевую карту Mellanox 200Gbe. В итоге значительная часть полезного оборудования оказалась не задействована… Долго терпеть я такое не смог и решил перейти к активным действиям.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/821243/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticles/821243/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ruvds_%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ruvds_перевод</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>видеокарты</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/geforce_rtx_4090" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geforce_rtx_4090</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/thinkstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thinkstation</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a></p>
