She's called Meatball

Scraped together over the course of multiple months, had to cut a hole in the case (hdd tray part) to make the gpu fit.

To get down to the sauce:

i9 14900k

I've undervolted it and limited its power to 65W PL1 and 117W PL2, to make it equivalent to an i5 12400 in terms of power draw. (And to keep it from cooking itself)

Rx 5700 xt

No particular reason, except for it costing me just €100 and it being bigger than 2 slots. Undervolted to manage the heat, it uses about 125W now.

Mismatched 2x 16gb ddr5 4800MT/s

Picked the ram kit up for basically pre ram crisis prices

256gb pcie 3 ssd (oem) + 1tb 'kingfast' 2.5" ssd

256gb ssd happened to come with the cheap laptop that I had recently purchased, and the kingfast ssd is the cheapest 1tb drive I could find

ASRock B760m Steel Legend Wifi

Scavenged from a previous build, has a dented I/O shield

Delta gps 750fb a

Apparently it's a rather nice 80+ Platinum power supply, won it in an auction for €35. Travelled 4 hours by train to collect it.

Case

I'm sure it has a name but I forgot, picked it up for free, and it leaves around 3mm of clearance for the cpu cooler. Has 1 120mm fan in the front and 1 120mm fan in the back.

Noctua nh-d14

My dad found it in a thrift store for €3.50 with the mounting kit missing. It's resting on top of the gpu, because it is a bit bent.

Notes:

When power limited to 117W, the 14900K still performs equal to a stock i7 13700k
The fans are limited to 600 rpm, because they get annoyingly loud past that
Total cost is around €725, apart from the motherboard everything was purchased used
I accidentally broke the front panel so there's a hole in the front now. (see last pic) I'll be zip tying a 120mm fan there
pc has an optical drive

Cezanne warm boot issue | awareness post

Before recommending Intel Arc to someone, keep in mind that (as far as I'm aware) Intel Arc gpus still have an issue when paired with Ryzen Cezanne cpus.

It's a lesser known issue, and doesn't affect performance, but it can be really annoying. Especially so if you're not very tech savvy.

If you have a Ryzen Cezanne architecture cpu (Ryzen 5 5500, 5600g, 5600gt, Ryzen 7 5700, 5700g) the gpu might fail to initialise when the pc restarts. (Both when restarting manually or when restarting as part of a windows installation / driver update)

You're met with a black screen until you manually shut the pc off and turn it back on again.

Only restarting is affected, the gpu will work normally when you shut the pc off and manually turn it on again

help: i9 14900k with poor air flow

I got my hands on an i9 14900K for pretty cheap, and I'm planning to install it into a case with some pretty bad airflow. The case only has a single 120mm intake, and a single 120mm exhaust. (The case doesn't support any more fans)

It'll be replacing my i5 12400 in a scuffed setup, and it'll be running along an undervolted rx 5700 xt. I do have a Noctua nh-d14 cooler for it.

I was wondering how I could lower the power draw of the 14900k as much as possible, because of the restricted airflow. It'll only be used for gaming, and I have an ASRock B760m Steel Legend motherboard with it, I'm not sure how much that restricts the possibility to undervolt.

Currently, I'm thinking of disabling 8 e-cores and 2 p-cores, essentially turning it into a glorified 14600k.
I'm also planning to do an undervolt (if possible), and to put a hard power cap in place.

Do these things make sense for lowering the power draw? Ideally, I want to get it to draw between 65W and 100W at most.

Edit: changing the case is not an option, I'm installing the cpu as part of a meme build.

Accidentally handed in a report like this

We didn't manage to finish writing the report before the deadline, so we hurriedly handed in a preliminary version of it

Didn't mean to vibe check the professor TwT

Does anyone have the full resolution image?

I had this saved on my pc but I forgot the source, and it's kind of low res so here's hoping

About: Domestik Violence

Rest assured, the Tenno have not layed their idle hands on our conduits, and your granum keys are being transported to a safe location.

However, there is one matter.
We knew the tenno were cruel; we were prepared for the losses which we have been taking, so that your assets, dear investors, are kept safe.
Our crewmen, who've bravely volunteered to fuel our reactors in the absence of thermia (teyp it ktotip) made sure of it.

However, we've underestimated their cruelty. Having failed to reach past our nullifiers, they've resorted to something we couldn't have anticipated:

Domestik Violence.

We are sorry to tell you that the very domestik drones, which scrape leftover Index Points from the ground, which make the moa factories spotless, and which keep your granum crowns gleaming as if just awarded by Parvos Granum himself, have been the latest victim of the tenno yojatpy's terror.

Do they not realise, that it is the domestik drone, which keeps the ground of our ships as smooth as Nezha's thighs?

For too long, our domestik drones have suffered. Our neglect of them was a necessary sacrifice for maximum Ktotip. But fear not, investors, because we have found a solution that does not take away from your riches. Frohd bek himself approves of it.

Tot Ktotip!

TVM MD-11 III found on the street

A couple of months back, I found this beauty on the sidewalk, half covered in snow. I let it dry for a few days, but never had the time to try and run it... until two weeks ago :D

I was struggling a lot, because I couldn't find any documentation on this thing for the life of me. The only thing I could find about this monitor was a reddit post of someone else who found it on the street as well TwT

I'm using the vga output of a Radeon R7 240, and have set a custom resolution using CRU. It's currently doing 640x480p at 72Hz GFT Standard.

It's got a DB9 connector on the back, as well as a switch to choose between 'Auto', 64C, 16C, and 8C modes. I currently have it set to 'Auto'.
There's also a switch to choose between 120V and 230V, which I've set to the voltage of the power grid where I live. (230V)

I've made an adapter myself using a vga breakout board and a db9 breakout board, but this monitor uses a standard multisync pinout so you can just use a vga to DB9 multisync adapter.
In case you're curious, I wired my adapter as follows:
Pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14 on the VGA side are connected to pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 4, 5 on the DB9 side, respectively.

Sadly, it wasn't completely untouched by time. The H-width knob doesn't really work anymore, so I've got black bars on either side of the screen.

Also, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. I completely relied on gemini to select the right stuff in CRU, and also to make an educated guess on the pinout by tracing the individual pins to different relays using a multimeter.

Hopefully this can help someone, and I'm happy to join you guys as a CRT enjoyer :D

I'm considering buying an i9-12900E (not ES, but E for embedded) which seems to be similar to a 13600 in performance. I'm not sure about the compatibility with consumer motherboards though, as I have an ASRock B760M Steel Legend and an ASRock B660 Pro RS. I've opened a support ticket with them to see if they can confirm whether or not the i9 12900E is supported.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience using the 12900E (or some other E cpu) with a consumer motherboard. Have you encountered any issues?

As far as I understand, .dbc files are used to define how to translate/decode a can message into something that makes sense, like "right sensor 500 rpm" basically (not literally in that format of course)

The thing is, in the system I'm using there aren't many numerical values being exchanged. The CAN messages that are being sent are more messages like "Starting up" "error occurred" or "Turning" which take up the entire can message rather than a couple of bytes that are part of it.

Is it possible to make a .dbc file where each of these different packets is associated with some message? (kind of like a look up table)
