Pin D10 tied to a high. Seen that, got my soldering people fix that.

I’m very curious how you figured that out from the screen shot?

They’re a fucking wizard that one.

I wrote a RAM test for my system, and had to diagnose quite a few badly soldered boards. I leave the soldering to the specialists, though. All but one still does not understand how I can read “Resolder pin 14 from chip J11” or “Clean short between pins 8 and 9 on chip J14” from such a list.

I feel like a surprising number of people struggle with the meaning of “mildly”…

DDR3 was really hard to find the last time I went shopping for RAM.
I bet you can get at least another 5 more years out of that computer.
Zeon@lemmy.world 2 years ago
This is actually a new build I just made with a Libreboot motherboard. I’m trying to turn it into a gaming computer, it ran GTA V at 70-80FPS, all high settings, at 1440p. It was working flawlessly, and for some reason now its not I suppose due to the RAM. But even with this RAM, in the beginning it was working just fine until yesterday I started noticing more stuttering.
I was hoping to do a benchmark video for people tonight but I guess not :(
AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
Cool. You might check and double check the RAM timings. My machine did not like to run at 1600.

Now this sounds interesting what motherboard did u use
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 years ago
There’s 2233 DDR3 vs. 1164 DDR5 RAM on Galaxus (Swiss shop platform). Can’t be that hard.
AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
The last time I was shopping for RAM was in 2020. I think the supply chain was probably all jacked up from COVID.
I paid $55 for 2ea. 8GB sticks. The price now is $24: amazon.com/…/ref=pe_861660_435879970_fxm_4_0_n_id

It’s pretty silly to blacklist an address. You could just move and now the new owners can’t use eBay.

Well that’s really not a surprise since it is old hardware. I would go for something newer as that machine is a space heater. You can pickup used mini PCs or workstations with newer CPUs in them.
Zeon@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Well, this build is specifically for gaming with Libreboot so due to the limitations with the motherboard I’m stuck using the Xeon processor. Its not bad tbh runs everything well.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Define “everything”. Everything installed?
douglasg14b@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Your logic isn’t sound, it’s being “old hardware” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s reliability is degraded.
Not on these time scales anyways.
Quality solid state hardware can continue operating as intended for many decades without degradation.
SRo@lemmy.sdf.org 2 years ago
Nah that thing is using power like a space heater. The dude above is right, a mini pc for 180 bucks is faster and the power efficiency is not even comparable. Sometimes old stuff is like that; outdated and obsolete.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
Well the RAM is bad so it apparently didn’t last to long. Admittedly it can from eBay but the problem is older hardware is that it pulls extra power and is clunky.
It might be different if we were talking about something lower grade with a lower TDP but this hardware pulls a lot can can be defeated performance wise by a newer CPU that’s only a few years old.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 years ago
Can build a Sleper PC with it.

DDR3 is a lot cheaper on Amazon.
sizzler@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The cost is having to support amazon though.

If it’s any decent brand it’s lifetime warranty little questions asked.
Zeon@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Oh wow I didn’t know that. They’re from Crucial / Micron, also its DDR3L ECC RAM so hopefully they’ll accept. Thank you for the information!
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 years ago

Looks like it’s either a lifetime, or 10-year warranty depending on the model type.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Don’t know about Crucial, but Corsair was like that when I needed it a few years ago.
