By reilo Go To PostI keep seeing that INNOCN brand pop up but I have never heard of that brand before.There are only like 2 or 3 different panel manufacturers that everyone uses. They are a Chinese brand, but I think they have been around for quite a while now.
By reilo Go To PostAlso, looks like the Gigabyte M27U is the same price as some of those, which is their highest rated monitor: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27uYes, but it isn't particularly capable of HDR.
e: it rates worse than the innocn monitor in everything except gaming (and it is the smallest of differences there)

There's only two that do HDR well, crazy
By reilo Go To PostYeah, because there aren't any 27" 4k OLED monitors. The two that do well are mini-LED. IIRC, the Cooler Master has like ~550 dimming zones and the INNOCN has twice as many at ~1,100.

Looks like the firmware sucks on the Cooler Master. And according to Rtings, the INNOCN has "Some issues with macOS".
What a shame.
What a shame.
PSU power cables came in for my NAS and they are the perfect lengths! Now I just need some male-to-male SATA data cables and I'll be good to go. Unfortunately, the drive bays stick an inch out from the case, but they had to in order to fit. Otherwise, they would be bumping up against motherboard ports.
By Zabojnik Go To PostApparently Meteor Lake for laptops is trash, OEMs throwing Intel under the bus.I get all their names confused. Is that the released 14th gen or the upcoming 15th gen?
By Kibner Go To PostI get all their names confused. Is that the released 14th gen or the upcoming 15th gen?That's because it is confusing. It's technically 14th gen, like Raptor Lake-R (14900k etc), but it's their first chip with the new 'tile' design, the first Core Ultra branded generation. The CPU tile will be made with the Intel 4 node (Raptor Lake-R is Intel 7), the GPGPU tile will use TSMC's N5. Meteor Lake was supposed to release for desktop as well, but they binned those plans a while back. Arrow Lake is next in (early?) 2025 for desktop.
I kind of want to fuck with Optane before it disappears forever, try it as a system drive, see how it performs. I don't know, I'm bored.
Haven't kept up with the tech at all, is there a recommended model or whatever that storage hipsters are coveting?
EDIT: Damn, some of the prices are out there, lol.

They work great as system drives. As someone else put it, Windows updates have never installed faster.
They aren’t as good as game drives. Not enough sustained read speeds compared to pcie5 stuff even though it has a random read advantage.
Kinda mixed as a media editing drive. The number of write cycles it allows is truly astronomical so it will never die from that. Not sure if it is fast enough at sustained writes and reads for high def reducing, though.
Huh, the Windows scheduler is limited to only 64 threads per CPU. For CPUs with more than that, it treats them as multiple CPUs.
Decided to go with https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr93u-b as it's $450 for Black Friday right now, which is cheaper than almost all of the monitors in that range and I was splitting hairs trying to find advantages in others like the Gigabyte M27u versus this. Samsung I threw to the bushes because fuck curved monitors.
I can't get behind buying a non-OLED screen in 2023 regardless of the use case, but congrats reilo.
Hail OLED!
Hail OLED!
OLED for monitors isn't primetime unfortunately. It'll be my next monitor after this one but it'll take a few year for it to get to a good spot.
By Zabojnik Go To PostI can't get behind buying a non-OLED screen in 2023 regardless of the use case, but congrats reilo.Complicating Reilo's use case is getting a monitor that works with MacOS and doesn't cause odd scaling issues. As such, he is looking for a 27" 4k monitor or a 32" 5k monitor (iirc). Not sure if those actually exist in OLED?

It's nearly double the price.
By reilo Go To PostYea then why don't they come in 4k!?
they will next year!
I'm still waiting for 27" gaming oled with non-trash sub-pixel format so that it also works well for text to come out before upgrading, if I can help it.
By Smokey Go To Postthey will next year!They're gonna cost $1,000-$1,500 easy
By diehard Go To Post38'' Ultrawide QD-OLED with standard subpixel layout plz10-bit, rec.2020, dci-p3, Delta E <2 and you can go ahead and take my mother fucking credit card right now dammit.
Oh and 120hz for gaming would be nice kthx.
By Kabro Go To Post10-bit, rec.2020, dci-p3, Delta E <2 and you can go ahead and take my mother fucking credit card right now dammit.Just get a 42" C2/C3 and be done with it. It makes for a brilliant 4K / 3840x1600 120hz HDR ultrawide monitor. Cheap too, relatively.

Home server assembled. Tomorrow is software day. Plan on starting with TrueNAS Scale and then throw up some containers for Plex, Samba, and LANCache to start. Other plans will come later.
Started building a new desk for my office, bought a 150x70cm piece of walnut. Feels great having a desk that’s exactly as big as I want it.
Saw that asrock released some new integrated mobos, the N100m and DC. DC looks like a great fit for my home server/plex machine

Noticed I’ve been having perf issues since I updated my bios, turns out that XMP turned off in the update. Fuck me
By JesalR Go To PostNoticed I’ve been having perf issues since I updated my bios, turns out that XMP turned off in the update. Fuck meI always reset my bios to defaults after firmware updates and manually put my settings back in. Paranoid about the old days where there was a hidden setting it something from the previous version that didn’t mesh with the new version and you had to do the reset to default to get the thing working again.
Got TrueNAS Scale up and running! Got my first pool configured and setup with SMB sharing. Having trouble getting email notifications working, but I think that is just an issue with Gmail. Will try again later. Installed Plex, but that isn't working, yet, either. Will troubleshoot after lunch. I also have a long SMART test running on my drives to make sure they are good. And scheduled some daily short tests and monthly long tests while I was at it.
@diehard maybe you know an answer to this, but are long SMART tests necessary and, if so, is running it once a month fine? They take 29 hours on my drives and that seems excessive if not needed. I'm also running a monthly ZFS scrubbing and daily short SMART tests on days that the other things aren't running (since they take like 2 minutes or less).
I want 4 sticks of this stuff to max out my server: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2pYmP6/kingston-server-premier-32-gb-1-x-32-gb-ddr4-3200-cl22-memory-ksm32ed832hc
I'm weak; I ordered the RAM. 128GB on it's way! At least ZFS will be able to make great use of it and I won't have to worry about ever running low.

I'm also running a monthly ZFS scrubbing and daily short SMART tests on days that the other things aren't running (since they take like 2 minutes or less).I actually don't run extended SMART tests at all and iXSystems doesn't set them up by default either. Once a month would be totally acceptable, IMO.
By diehard Go To PostI actually don't run extended SMART tests at all and iXSystems doesn't set them up by default either. Once a month would be totally acceptable, IMO.I did some more searching and I think I will disable the long tests and just use the monthly scrub for similar purpose followed by daily short tests.
I do appreciate your feedback and good to know it is ok not ti run it on a schedule! I’m only doing it right now because these are new drives that I want to return or exchange asap if they are faulty.
