<XotteiKottei> bro watch this, working nitro gen youtube.com/watch?v=U4i40ehZwvE

^the spam of the day

hyc, apparently just xmp

hmmm not bad. Do you feel it's worth the cost?

pauliouk: me?

yup

been considering if I want to take the leap to DDR5, or do I wait for the next gen AMD processors and take a bigger leap into my bank balance for the next upgrade :)

pauliouk: up to you, id wait for oc reviews first though and ddr5 motherboards are so expensive currently

intel cpu pricing is good now, but yeah, the boards...

not to mention headaches of a new architecture oin its first few months

I figured the boards would be slightly cheaper eventually since the power management happens on the DDR module itself rather than the motherboard... but I guess with it being a new tech, new board design, new fabrication... going to be a while before the prices come down to anything reasonable

yup

pauliouk: im really impressed with this memory generation leap

past ddr -> 2, 2-> 3, 3->4, isnt as impressive

I guess this is a whole new style of memory management, almost like the jump from SDRAM to DDR - only not as severe

yeah its way different now, a stick on ddr/2/3/4 was 64 bit per dimm, with ddr5 we go 2x32 bit per dimm

way better channel interleaving that way

and you dont need to refresh a whole 64 bit rank at a time, now you only refresh 32 bit ranks at a time

I think I'm right in assuming at the moment, if you don't have 64bits of data on a line being sent to the CPU, the left over space is padded out with junk/blank data which in itself takes time

in a sense, cpu "waits" less for ram refreshes

i hope you get what it meant

pauliouk: anyway, reviews gonna be up by the 4th for intel's alderlake with ddr5

Im looking forward to spending some rewards on a new system :)

I'm almost just considering building another Ryzen 5 3600 rig - really happy with my current one, and the prices have dropped nicely so its like £100 less for the same machine

unfortunately they don't have the same cheap white case in stock :/ might look into building a custom case to house the mobo's and PSUs with extra fans (not that it gets all that hot)

Why not butcher some cheap ikea furniture ?

XD

Cardboard

I've always wanted one of those frames you can get, but they're extortionate

I was just thinking some polycarbonate sheets for the sides, some angled aluminium bars for the case structure, then stack the boards on top of each other using long spacers

Top 2 pools no longer have 50+%: i.imgur.com/fPVIRVO.png

I mean combined

for a 2 month old pool, we've taken a heck of a chunk of the global hashrate heh

2 main players has

;P

We're just there for the ride

so it takes 3 pools to 51%. Ideally we need to make it 4, like in Bitcoin

or 1 pool, but that pool being p2pool :)

jaska087: I used to get shares 😭

Gotten x2 amount of average

slow days incoming

I fear the same, I've solo'd about 4 shares in the last few days

got the raffle and landed an extra 3 :)

praise monerochan. grampy's eating tonight
