I was actually contacted by my wholesaler yesterday telling me that he managed to source me a RTX 2080Ti. I told him I didn't have the money.

I had the money on the 15th of December, when he promised to get me a card. He had a card for me and I was going to pick it up.

Then he called me and told me his boss took it for his mates. That ruined it for me.

 

I am going to stick with this 1080Ti that I have as I have ordered a waterblock for it.

After last night, it looks like I need a new case that is designed for water cooling.

My Fractal Design R3 does not have sufficient spacing on top for a 360 rad.........

Anyone wanna buy an R3? :P

Serving it up

Got a couple of PSU's off eBay for $20 US
To replace the originals, one a bit dodgy and one catus

Loaded up 7 HDD's and chucked in the latest FreeNas software for a laugh

Looking at maxing out the RAM
About $60 AUD for 48 GB
Why? cos fun

Basically I want to get my head around the hardware so I can get a better understanding of how it all works
From what I have read so far, servers use RAM totally different to your standard desktop
Although 48 GB is tiny by comparison to a modern server, it only has 16 GB at the moment
Some modern servers can have 1 TB of RAM!!!!!

ECC ram just means it has error correction inbuilt

 

I "think" the server will use any RAM , but only the server MB/bios will be able to use ECC

 

Keep in mind - servers are about integrity, data, redundancy, storage and throughput - not about performance.

 

Unless you can find a load to put through it - the ram isn't going to be noticable.
