    CPU/Mobo Updated Database for AM5 motherboards

    AMD Lane roulette is back. enjoyed playing this game in the 90s and early 00's. For reference, those running PCIe 4.0 cards like the RTX 4090 will run at x8, but PCIe 4.0, which is = PCIe 3.0 x 16 - from 12 years ago. Whee! Such speed!

    FS: Desktops Homelab setup: i5 4th gen

    Bump with new pics. The system has been upgraded to 5600G+A520M, so this is idle. Am accepting outstation sale now. Outstation buyers get free shipping. Kolkata buyers get a Silverstone Fara H1M free with this setup. https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/FARAH1M/

    Air Fryer - Healthy Options?

    I would use this: https://www.amazon.in/Oddy-Ecobake-Non-Stick-Steamer-Airfryer/dp/B09B4XH9PW I use the non-perforated version in a regular convection oven, and they're the bomb. The trays stay clean and the food doesn't stick. You do get a variety of sizes, so select based on your basket size.

    Which AC to choose?

    The top end of the electric range are just as good (IMO). I'm biased because I'm on the 6th year of my 1.9T that is a soldier through 44C summers in the Kolkata humidity. Measured exhaust temperature has gone up by only 1C since I got it - it used to peak at 9C, and now is about 10.5.

    Which AC to choose?

    I paid 3k for mine, but that was in 2021 or so. Expect prices to have gone up.

    Home Inverter Battery Holding High Voltage

    I know. Tubular inverter batteries use the same charging system for the most part.

    Which AC to choose?

    Stay away from Hitachi. My filters disintegrated after the warranty period and there's no spares available, and no support. I couldn't find a single way to reach them or find spares. I will throw it out when I'm no longer able to clean the filters. When I say disintegrated I mean it's become...

    Home Inverter Battery Holding High Voltage

    High battery voltage is typically a symptom of increased cell resistance. I would suggest taking a reading of a AA cell to be sure your meter isn't the issue, then send the battery for inspection. Car battery vendors will offer a charging service, and they'll be able to tell you whether it's...

    Request Advice: How to power 4 SSDs connected to RPI

    No I wanted raw files, like Eagle or EasyEDA. Gerbers cannot be easily modified.

    Request Advice: How to power 4 SSDs connected to RPI

    @Heisen any chance you can provide me with the source files? I wanted bare metal for the power, and USB-C inputs. @bornlibra23 some points you may want to keep in mind when specifying your system design, if I may. The RPis are usually internally sharing the bus, so the concern for bandwidth is...

    News Nvidia (initially Zotac) is shipping GeForce RTX 5090 with missing ROPs, up to 4.5% lower performance

    Power balancing is not possible on a 500W + power draw off of a single cable. Each wire+connector on the cable is too close to the limit, so where is that excess power gonna go? None of the lines have a 'reserve' capacity to handle additional load. ROG Astrals have 6 separate sensors but that's...

    How to clean the inside of an oven and keep it that way??

    Oven user for 40+ years now, here's my take: For ovens with a proper internal coating, there will be no issues in using warm water and soap. Lower quality products need to be only cleaned with water, and the excess wiped off. The lemon is a bad idea, you do not want acid. Baking soda and water...
