GPUs & CPUs & Enthusiast hardware: Questions, Discussion and fanboy slap-fights - Nvidia & AMD & Intel - Separe but Equal. Intel rides in the back of the bus.

Sounds like a fan struggling to start up. Take the cover off, and observe all the fans that are stopped. Do whatever causes this noise, and look if any of the fans seems to be vibrating or shuddering back and forth rather than actually spinning. You may have a dying chipset, NVME, or GPU fan.

It was one out of the three water cooling fans, it spins and works fine, but the moment I drop the speed below 40% it starts making that noise.

thanks

That's actually good news, that should be easy to replace. If it had been a chipset or NVME fan it could have been a lot more proprietary or inaccessible.

I saw on LinkedIn that data center GPUs are currently sitting at around 13% utilization. This is absolutely abysmal. Typically, when you design some sort of rent-a-service, you shoot for 25% utilization as your break-even point. Also, supposedly, pretty much all the AI revenue out there is ChatGPT licensing out its tech to scam-tier startups with no business plan sucking up VC money. I can't wait for this bubble to pop.


My Logitech headphones switch to low-quality mono audio in Bluetooth mode. Beware.

Is the only one getting rich here NVidia, selling the shovels during a gold rush?

Pretty much, they're basically hitting the jackpot as everyone needs their GPUs: Data centres, bitcoin miners, gamers and everything AI.

Meanwhile I'm still gaming off an RX580 and having ZERO issues whatsoever with anything. Yeah I can't play games in super high quality but it generally just works with anything I throw at it.

I want to get a new PC for gaming/fucking around with AI image generation. I'm looking for something that's reasonably powerful but affordable. Any recommendations?

Something with a 5070ti+ and a 9800x3d. A full build with this will likely run you around $2,000+

Your recording sounds like coil whine. Do you have a that fan connector attached to a splitter, by chance? If so, try plugging it in directly to the mobo instead.

I bought an RX 6750XT last year, totally happy with it. Runs everything I want at 165 FPS with good visuals and I still don't even have any games that have Ray™ Tracing™

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT review leak: beats RTX 5060 Ti in lows, loses in averages

9060 XT reviews are out tomorrow, but the 16 GB model could be 3-6% behind the 5060 Ti 16 GB and even closer to the 7700 XT (12 GB), possibly a little lower on conservatively clocked models. The 9060 XT 16 GB and 8 GB both have an x16 connection, which should be better for older PCIe 3.0/4.0 systems. In particular, the 5060 Ti 8 GB can lose 10% performance from even PCIe 4.0.

Intel confirms Nova Lake-S/U, Wildcat Lake and P-Core only Bartlett Lake in official document

September 2024 roadmap leak for the "Time Coordinated Computing" market. It seems to position Wildcat Lake as a more premium successor to Alder Lake-N, like how the premium 8-core Core i3-N300/N305 emerged from the stew of "Intel Processors". It also includes Bartlett Lake, the much talked about product with 12x Raptor Cove P-cores and no E-cores, that probably isn't coming to enthusiasts anyway.

I was looking for a die yield calculator a couple days ago and liked SemiAnal's the most. TSMC's A14 process could cost $45,000 a wafer, which I believe could mean the typical 75mm^2 CCD will cost about $60. Hypothetical $100k wafers would bring that to $135. Disaggregating L3 cache onto a separate die using a cheaper node and 3D packaging could become a necessity.

What's your baseline? What kind of shit are you looking to play? What's your budget?

What region is another good question. The pricing variance between regions is huge right now. Plus a lot of companies don't even sell some of their products in some countries.
