    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Here is a 7980xe delidded I built in 2017 with 2x 1080tis. This one used hard tube, the thing was a nightmare to break apart when I needed to diagnose issues.

    In my 28core 2x 2080ti build I did in 2019, I went kind of crazy with dual loops using 4x 560 rads in a monster case.

    I have really tried to get away from water cooling lately. Its cool yes and it runs your stuff cooler or course but doing small things become a major issue when you need to break the loop everytime.

    From what I heard is that nvidia is just wanting to milk the market. The crypto market is a huge loss for them and they need to keep their stock price high somehow.

    Going to need two 1600 watts PSU for 2 4090 and a 96 core threadripper. Also going to need a 20 amp outlet to support this monster.

    Vaniki averages about 160 people a night after the past week or so. I does peak up to the mid 200s at times though.

    I mainly need the cpu power for running backtesting simulations for automated trading software. The more cores the better.

    I want to upgrade my 2x 2080tis but cant find a cpu I like more than my w3175x 28 core. Wish intel would get back into making HEDT cpus again was hoping for some 38 and 54 core ones.

    The hydro copper block was never as good as say a ek gpu block, but it was not that much worse.. The main advantage was the hydro copper came pre installed with a warranty.

    Right now Yelinaks population is on average higher than Coirnav, Thornblade, was but lower than the rest of the TLPs since Agnarr. Its not much lower than Aradune was but we will see since its out of the 2 worst expansions if it grows any. At this point ranking at a similar time for each...

    This wave was trigged by a dev who is currently in a guild on one of the new TLPs and was nudged into triggering this banwave by one of the few people who know they are a dev in the guild. I wont name names, but I know who is who.

    The plat dupe hurt Mischief long term more than people realized. Defiantly cut its lifespan down by a significant portion.

    I have to admit this is all pretty funny to me. People begged for tougher enforcement and this is what they got. People always want harm to others until it comes to them.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    This wave hit a lot of what I would call normal players. People who play 1-2 chars and maybe use multiplicity, but defiantly imo not what they should be targeting. Unless their goal is to piss off normal players.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Yelinaks population fell by 400 last night. Now of course the pop declines every day after expansion release and we are 3 weeks out from kunark release. This was a pretty big wave and the losses are very noticeable.

    Cloak of Flames sold for 1200 for a long time on eBay. I sold about 20 of them plus a ton of other items thanks to the corpse dupe.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    The funny part about the vm banwave was how many false flags it had in it. The wave 100% hit a bunch of people who had vmware installed and running at the time a char was logged in but not actually logged in using the vm.

    On selo I was in Amtrak (as an anon nobody) and many of my friends were. We were told day one by a gm (in the guild) specifically who in the guild was flagged for vm, mq2, (other stuff i wont mention here). A ban wave hit about a month later and that heads up allowed me to "fix" things before it...

    None of what you said was wrong. This method is well known and has been. But the new detection is not this method. After talking with a few people close to the situation the primary reason they are going after mq users was because of the release of mqnext. jchan didnt like the so called...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Even those who play clean get caught up in false flags normally by account association. It happens far more than people think. Its like having your identity stolen. Most people will never have it stolen, but even those who are very diligent can have it stolen without any fault of their own.

    Yes you should 2fa every account, and use a throwaway phone number. It will save a ton of potential problems later on.

    They dont. They dont. A ton of misinformation going on in this thread. In part because of how things "used" to work vs how they are working now. What they are doing is pretty simple, and it has about a 25% error (false detection, association) rate.

    Vaniki was doomed to failure really. People "claim" they want hardcore but in reality they dont. The reason is always we want hard but not that kind of "hard". Remember Manglers original ruleset? The reason FV, Random, Bonus loot is so popular is because its the easiest most casual server to date.

    There has been MQ2 suspension/ban waves about every 2 weeks since Jan 2022. I would think carefully those thinking they can use it without issue.
