    All things SFF

    The max I saw in stock cooler (albeit different chassis) was 73C. The problem with nerdware cooler is airflow volume (or lack thereof). I wish the fan was bigger, or faster. Looking forward to the undervolt. Maybe a better thermal paste too. The 4070 12GB hands down. But you can't run it in...

    All things SFF

    In pictures : Nerdware Cooler Mod for RTX 2000 ADA. I initially wanted a RTX 4000 SFF ADA, but ultimately decided against it. The single slot cooler struggles at stock, with sustained workloads pushing temperatures to high 80s. I plan to undervolt over the weekend. Will publish the results in...

    71-90K future proof server build

    To give you some perspective, I recently built a server using minisforum MS-01 (13900H, 32GB) paired with RTX 2000 ADA in similar budget as yours (~120k). It's an immensely powerful machine running local LLMs, hosting websites, databases and a cloud gaming server simultaneously. I have...

    airtel fiber on bridge mode ?

    It should not. Check if you're behind double NAT. Go to whatismyip.com and see if that matches the WAN IP of your non airtel router.

    0-20k MSI Claw as Mini PC

    Can you point me to these issues/topic? That and long term reliability is what concerns me. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not worried about the battery degradation tbh. Don't even plan on gaming. I'm just worried if it'll make a good pc, given bottlenecks like thermal limitations...

    airtel fiber on bridge mode ?

    In my case, they activated it remotely (nobody visited my house). Once they did, airtel router stopped resolving and the route mode changed to bridge mode on its own. I then connected my own router, dialled PPPoE with correct VLAN, and it just worked. Entire process took about 3 days.

    Most Horror Games that gave you chills and fear, with there terrifying graphics and sound?

    Alen Wake 2. It's not the horror but absolute suspense that gets you. I felt trapped in the story, in a chilling way. Combine that with excellent graphics and storyline, there's no other game like it.

    airtel fiber on bridge mode ?

    I've been in your shoes. Believe it or not, emailing net@airtel.com with your request is the most hassle free way of doing it. For now, put your airtel router back into "router mode", restore your internet and wait for their reply. Do include your DSL account number in the emails.
