Any #Linux users on #IntelArc here?

I bought an Intel Arc A750 and it looks fancy, works for gaming and AV1 encoding (after adding "vpl-gpu-rt" recompiling the kernel for that I guess), but I cannot control the fan at all!

The fan mode is "automatic" and on full power all the time which is crazy loud.

I tried everything, updated my kernel to 6.18 longterm, used a windows install to use that intel tool to upgrade the GPU firmware, no change.

Now I plan on connecting the fan to the case fan connector and controlling it through BIOS (I can read temperature now so that is okay-ish I guess).

I couldn't find a single report of this being a thing at all, do these GPUs really have THAT shitty drivers? I thought it was just performance issues (which I didnt really see).

I just spent half a day restoring my old IBM PC 330 to a working state. It features an Intel Pentium 166MHz with 16MB of SDRAM and an 8GB IDE harddisk drive. There's also a networking card, as well as a Soundblaster 16.

As much as I appreciate its compact design, it's a real pain to assemble! Oh, well.. looks like everything's working again. Hurray! 😀

If you are planning to build a desktop PC then this resource will be useful.

It will help with planning how to install PCIe and SSD devices for best performance, or what performance you may lose if you populate additional SSD or PCIe slots on the main board 😊

#PCBuilding #PSA: there is no rule against drilling holes in your #computer case.

Like seriously, if you have a decent cylinder drill, and you have one of those cases that has a panel on both sides for cable management, you have the option to drill out a few holes for things like header cables, so you can route them back there quickly and not stretch them over the top of where your components are supposed to be.

Just make sure that...
- you do this outside or somewhere the mess won't be a problem: there will be metal shavings everywhere.
- none of the components are inside the case when you do this
- you aren't hitting the case electronics or a necessary piece of support
- you thoroughly clean it afterwards because there will be metal shavings everywhere

Building your own tower is easy and fun, just remember #AlwaysBuyAMD.

Currently watching this by TinyTechGuy. As someone who keeps thinking about computer upgrades, this is a good video.

My current computer is fine (5600X, RTX3060 12GB), all I need is a bit more storage.

Dell and Lenovo to Hike PC Prices up to 20% as AI Memory Shortage Hits Consumers

Micron acaba de dar un golpe al mercado del hardware. 🚨
La compañía abandona la marca Crucial y sale del segmento de consumo: adiós a sus SSD y memorias RAM domésticas como DDR4 y DDR5.
Ahora se enfocan solo en memoria HBM para inteligencia artificial y centros de datos. 💻⚡

¿Qué puede pasar ahora?
🔹 Menos opciones de memoria asequible
🔹 Posible subida de precios en RAM y SSD
🔹 Gamers y PC builders en alerta

Koupě nového stolního počítače

Pořídil jsem si nový stolní počítač. Dělám to maximálně jednou za dekádu, takže je to pro mě velká věc, o které jsem se musel rozepsal i na blogu. 🙂

Bit of a diversion this evening, building an AMD Ryzen 5 based PC for a neighbour. He was quoted over £1,500, we put this together for about half the cost. Only difference is that we got Windows 11 Home and no super powerful graphics card, the onboard graphics should be enough for non-gaming use.

Was Windows Vista actually bad? I built a 2009 Dream PC (i7, 12GB RAM, etc.) to give it the high-end hardware it deserved & finally test the "bloat" theory. We install Vista Ultimate, enable Aero, & run Crysis! The final answer is here!

PC upgrade alert 🚨

Upgraded to an RX 9070 and the Fractal Terra (since the 9070 couldn’t fit in my Ghost S1). Been looking for an excuse to buy this case ever since it launched, and I’m so glad that I finally had a reason!

I got my new CPU and RAM, so now I just have to do a full suite of benchmarks before opening up my PC and swapping them out, and then running all the benchmarks again to quantify how much juice I've added!

Is the #atx12vo standard dead? It looks like no #ATX #PSUs or #mainboards come as real products for individual PC builders.

Since initial announcements of 12VO years I ago I’m waiting eagerly for PSUs and #mainboard|s. I don’t use dedicated PCIe GPUs and only have a few SSDs to power. I need a new #PSU soon but much less than 500W and all there is are beefy nearly 1000W PSUs.

The price of internal data storage for my computer has fallen greatly.

I can't afford to replace the 14TB HDD's in my mediaserver. But I can now get 4TB SSD's for around what a 1TB cost me a few years ago.

Tempted to replace the two 3TB HDD's in my main system with two 4TB SSD's

This should be my last "last-gen" update for a while. Switching from a 5600G to a 5700X. The 5600G's going on a new build while the 5700X will go on my current rig that's waiting for its "last-last-last-gen" GPU to be upgraded. 😅

Why the 5700X and not the 5800X3D or 5900X? Value in terms of performance and power consumption.

Gonna wait for "next-gen" parts (AM5, Intel 13th+, DDR5) prices to drop before I change PCs—probably in a couple of years.

Laptop fan finally died on me last week (RIP) just a few days before I needed to deliver a training (amazing). So I did what any sane person would do: build a PC overnight from parts I accumulated during the pandemic. 😁

I will still get a replacement fan to fix my laptop but for the time being, I'm back to the the PC "master race" and I'm absolutely feeling the onset of upgraditis. 😂

On my boyfriend's gaming laptop, and I saw this last time, there's a genuine char/burnt mark on top of the CPU die. It's not broken, this is clearly material that has burnt onto it. You can slightly feel it as a rough raised surface. The original paste was IC Diamond 7 from the factory for a few years.

Trying to figure out what could cause this (fingerprint oil?) And best way to remove it? It slowly rubs onto alcohol cotton ball, but slow. #ComputerHelp #PCBuilding #Laptop

My first custom loop #WaterCool build. It’s going to be a hard-line loop so I’ll be bending the tubes. I have been waiting over 15 years to afford this passion project. Went #Intel 13600KF, DDR 5 6400, #MSI Z690 Force, and #nVidia RTX 3080. All that goes into the black and white #Hyte Y60!

All my computers, monitors got fried in a direct lighting strike to my office. The lighting popped the tile when it went through the rebar in the floor. Sooooo....I am looking at a new game rig and monitor. Send me your mods and specs.

$2979 If my Evga 1080 ti sc2 11 gig card is good I can save some. Gonna see how much to build vs buy first.
