how is power management and thermals on the amd? I remember that being worse than Nvidia when I had
how is power management and thermals on the amd? I remember that being worse than Nvidia when I had my Radeon VII
EOfc as soon as I eliminate all the Nvidia stuff in my life, I hear I'm going to be working on CUDA stuff
Kthis was never a factory card, but thermals and sound were great
KI swapped it over to noctua fans so now it might as well not exist
Kso quiet you can't tell it's running
DNice
ENoctua fans are the best
DThey really are
K
EWow, that's clean
D8 sticks of RAM?
D128?
K
Doh, nice. I also have 64GB
DJust on less DIMMs
KI was actually using the RGB when I bought em
Kso I had to fill all the DIMMs somehow lol
Kthat and this is a quad channel board
DThreadrippers are really cool. Not as good for gaming, but good for HEDT stuff
Kit's always funny loading up a new game and watching my CPU blaze itself up to 20% usage
Kand hault there
Kthe undervolting potential on this is insane though, I managed to pull 78W off of this CPU at full load
Kwithout any discernable performance loss
DI have a 5950X. It's pretty sweet. The last of the AM4 platform flagships 
CGotta respect the full Noctua setup
Jcatching up
JI love my 7900XTX - GPU bullshit has been a long distant memory for me
Jhad a terrible 5700XT experience, a decent 6800XT experience, this one was way better.
Jevery game I works, gets destroyed on my huge 21:9 monitor, I know I am at the top tier of the perfect linux experience is supposed to be.
Jand it's been great with ollama for me, I can play with all this AI stuff
Jand it's perfect. Mac people can't game like this, and Windows people are stuck with that whole mess (but WSL is nice). It's perfect for me.
DIf the 8700 XTX is a considerable jump over my 3090 I might just switch
Dwe'll see what Nvidia does software-wise by then
Dbecause realistically the 3090 is a beast of a card and is overkill for most titles
DIt's still obscene how GPU prices rival mortgage payments but here we are lol
Por a whole used car, for nv 
DOr like one car payments on a new one with zero down
DMy Volvo payments are like 1 GPU a month... I never thought about it that way before.
EI'm relieved I can't drive. Cars are expensive
DIt's great that you can avoid driving. I'm not sure if you're American or not, but where I live it's basically a necessity to get anywhere
DWe need way better public transport and more walkable cities
EIt's a near necessity in most of America and actually very inconvenient where I live now
EI use public transit and Uber and that works out... So long as I don't need to be anywhere on the mark
EI also have family that helps out
DI guess stuff like Uber Eats/Doordash/Instacart helps a bunch too
EIt actually does. I always hear about how expensive it is and then go shopping in person only to realize it's just as expensive minus the tip and small delivery fee I would have paid otherwise :/
ENow... Uber can be a hit or miss depending on the time of day
EI've seen crazy prices
EBut I digress. Don't want to get too far off topic here
FI like that yafti can be configurable from being a informational pop-up, selection prompt, 1st time installer or OS configurator
FWe plan to use yafti as an selection prompt or informational pop-up where notifications are not enough for BlueBuild's
Specifically, when maintainer decides to automatically remove the flatpak, so that users can get a pop-up with info on why it's removed & get a prompt if they want it removed or not
