Unpacking GPU History: A Quest for Transparency in Used Hardware
Want to know if a used GPU was used for mining? Learn how to check GPU usage hours with software like GPU-Z.

Checking a used GPU's history can be tricky. Unlike a car's odometer, there's no simple 'hours used' counter for graphics cards.

CW: Human+AI
Choosing between AMD vs Nvidia for a new PC build can be tough. It really depends on your needs. AMD often provides better value and more VRAM for gaming, while Nvidia stays ahead for ray tracing and creative work. Avoiding brand loyalty helps you get the most for your money. Details at https://gwizit.com/go/EkzyxxB This post was written by a human but with AI assistance.

The cost for assembling a new Linux / Windows PC system is not getting any less expensive 😕
This list is for new parts, it would be less expensive with used or reconditioned ones.

Weird problems require creative solutions. One of the problems was the fact that the graphics card sits a bit too high in its slot, which means the output ports were slightly obscured by a metal part of the case. A part which may or may not be visible in the picture... :blobcatthinkingsmirk:
It solved the weird noise problem, but the cable still seems to have a broken end that causes the display to lose connection, so I guess I'll have to get a new one.

I've recently started assembling a PC after last doing so literally decades ago (impeccable timing). The gamer 'aesthetic' that has developed in that time is universally visually repulsive #RGBHell

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).

Maybe I should just use the fact that I'm using an open-frame server rack to my advantage and just drill some holes into the side of the server case and draw in air from the side for the 2nd CPU.

Soo the #Noctua fans now arrived and I installed everything. And - well - this did make the #server way quieter.
For 10-20 seconds after being powered on. Then CPU2 went to 70C. However all of the other temps are in check now.
And now it is way louder (as these fans have a higher max RPM).
Think the main issue was the airflow of this #Supermicro #H11DSi just being extremely shit to manage. You basically cannot avoid pushing hot air from CPU1 into CPU2…

Has anyone had experience dealing with ExcelDisc, a hardware seller (which seems to do OEM product closeout purchases and reselling) out of Dubai?
There's a product I want that seems to have recently ended production, and they are the only sellers I see.
Thanks.
