J'avais remisé Silvestre, mon laptop #Thinkpad X230 depuis que je l'ai remplacé par un #Framework 13 DIY et par un #Dell XPS 9365 2-in-1 en 2021. Il m'a suivi un peu partout et subi plusieurs remplacements d'écran et clavier, beaucoup d'améliorations et quelques chutes mémorables.
Il va maintenant aller à une bonne cause, si tout va bien il sera préparé pour utilisation pour un non-voyant par un collègue avec d'autres laptops que je lui fais parvenir sous peu.
Hallo Fediverse! Hat jemand eine alte USV von Dell übrig? Bei meiner ist gerade die Display-Einheit verreckt? Und dabei ist der Akku gerade frisch gemacht worden... Sie ist zwar via Konsole noch managebar aber ... Who knows.
Before I add the E5-1660, I will first test the E5-1620 that came with this motherboard.
The idea is to see it post, run it for a few days, and then make the original upgrade I had originally planned.
Originally, I had an E5-1650 in the other motherboard. Things didn't go so well -A mix of what may have been discovery of liquid metal (likely something else) and myself bending the pins trying to clean it out.
This is how we ended up with this "new" motherboard with CPU.
I said I was going to wait. It's the smart thing to do... wait.
I don't want to wait. 😅
I have decided I am going to install the E5-1660 v2, now. And to start off, I pulled the heatsink from the chipset, cleaned it, and reapplied thermal paste (MX-6).
The Dell Precision T3610 has been successfully upgraded from an E5-1650 v2, after temporarily running into a setback which resulted in a motherboard replacement and a temporary downgrade to an E5-1620 v2, to finally have the E5-1660 v2 it was meant to have
Additionally, the 32 GB of Ram are now 64 GB of Ram and as soon as more Ram comes in the mail it will be 128 GB of Ram
At which time the system will be "feature complete" (no further upgrade within spec available)
Fedora Onyx —Its basically SilverBlue, but with the Budgie desktop.
Of course, Dell, clearly supports the use of Fedora Linux, given they have managed to insert their logo into the boot screen. —You see the same thing if you install either Debian or Ubuntu too.
Small cluster demo at the Texas Tech booth (#2075) at #SC23. I guarantee it's one of the smallest but most interesting clusters at this conference, especially if you are interested in #HPC training and outreach. (Hint #raspberrypi's in a #Dell box and both @geerlingguy and @rockylinux would be proud. @fedora plays a role here too, for early access to what's coming! Come by and see.)
@Linux_Is_Best Let's just say that this will at least make the fans run higher and shorten the lifespan of the MOSFETs if #Dell didn't design their board with sufficient over-capacity in mind.
There's a reason #Workstation|s and Servers only get shipped with a handful of configurations in terms of CPU.
Mind you this obvious like with the #ThinkstationTiny P360 where this is very obvious as the highest tier is like i9-12900T or a i7-12700 because it can only handle a 90W CPU and a 75W GPU in it.
I've had #Dell computers for work for over 15 years. Well, I just grabbed myself a #Lenovo#ThinkPad P14s Gen 4. My first ThinkPad! I hope this goes well.
