A different take on this question: Can you mount a 240 mm radiator at the bottom as intake with the windowed version, if not using a discrete GPU (iGPU, rather)? I would think so, as the space occupied by a GPU would be "freed up" for space that could be used by that rad? [ thx in advance for...

Many thanks! The CPUs have some beef and there is some Optane in there (VMs + SLOGs), but between those two servers, there are two ZFS arrays replicated to 5 min @ 1/4 Petabyte raw, gross. Believe it or not there is a reason the servers are mounted on the wall + upside down: (1) home = condo...

Awesome post - thank you very much for the pertinent info that I've been dying for an understanding of. Sounds like you need a render farm! I had no clue you could use disparate cores in such a fashion. I'm happy to spec out a nice not-so-SFF ESXi cluster for you (mine below), but thanks to...

I didn't mean to threadjack, but this question has been at the top of my list of open items to research ... (thanks very much for understanding). I ponder if the correlation between those building custom rigs and those builders being gamers accounts for the fact that 99% of custom builds have...

May I ask a really stupid question ... why not use the integrated GPU (not a suggestion), but curious why you don't see any of this at all? With my Haswell build, that I plan to replace in short order, I have been running in this manner for years. If not gaming, I don't really understand why a...
