🤖🎨 AI enthusiast crafting art with machine learning since 2017.
🛠️ I build my own unorthodox AI rigs, from a K80 with cardboard baffles to an RTX 3090 cooled by a Xeon server's vapor chamber.
Jank is where the fun is.
For anyone who doesn't know, the NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM is a cursed abomination that sounds like a drone motor at full speed while blowing gale force winds, and makes this horrendous B-flat whine at low speeds that sounds like a vuvuzela.
And the sad truth is that there's a sweet spot where, beyond that point, adding more airflow gives you diminishing returns-- and that spot is about where the normal line of noctua fans are.
I feel like we live in this golden era of cheap former enterprise ebay hardware, and it's filled with forums of people going:
"Could I do X to get 10G speeds for really cheap?"
"Yeah, but you would just need to do [something that is a five minute google search] to make sure X is good before you buy it".
And the original poster responds back and is like "Ah, I see it is impossible. Thanks for the help. Guess I'm buying $3,000 QNAP switch."
