I Just got a T7820 w/ 4110 and 32gb of ram that i won a bid on for 178, after upgrading the cpu to 6140 and 48gb ram and selling the wx2100 im still under 200$, love these older Workstations,

I like these chairs but I really think we need more kneeling and push up chairs. You get some benefits of sitting and standing or you can just stand

Where is your video about the T14? What's wrong with it?

those thinkpads have an optional gpu that slids into the dvd drive bay.

I loved my T61. Thinkpad life.

Just bought this to play Sims 4, will this work?

5000 passmark for 115w power draw i mean sure, if you're stuck in 2010 but these days just buy a crappy $100 mini pc with an n100 which sucks 6w and has video hardware acceleration, no noise, uses as much electricity has an LED light bulb cons: wont heat your room up in winter old hardware is no longer viable, it's not the upfront costs that make it so but the running costs, performance and noise - which is why they are trying to give this stuff away for free if you want good value, efficiency and performance just get a ryzen processor, unrivalled if you want to do something really cheap then buy a broken ryzen laptop build a desktop/server out of it

Those aren't passive coolers. They are supposed to get airflow from the server chassis fans. do not run them without fans...

Im still rocking a i7-5960x on a asus rampage v extreme x99 for solid works.

why waste money hiring devs to make another OS when something like TrueNAS exists? Just ship this with TrueNAS and be done with it. It's probably the best hardware for off the shelf NAS

That's a dope Monster PC

lol ran a FX 8350 and GTX 1080 for a while, pretty much used my dads old mining rig and upgraded the GPU... Not sure why he decided to use FX CPUs, but all of his stuff was AMD so I can only assume brand loyalty. Running Ryzen 7 3700x and RX 6800 but AMD GPU for Linux drivers and VRAM, otherwise would have gotten NVIDIA. It wasn't that bad back then, but surely bottlenecked a lot. Plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 9 9950x out of all things and buy CPU, RAM, and cooler later, I need CPU a lot more than GPU for what I do and need a lot of cores so it makes sense

yep no win11, and ms closing the doors on that.

These old processors are pretty inefficient. Low cost yes, but you'll need a huge power supply and gflops per Watt are no comparison to modern processors.

I remember that DreamWorks used opterons during one of their Shrek movie productions

2:46 shill filter

1:17 Lots more Intels were made in that timeframe. So it's all about supply vs demand.

The issue with the Opteron server machines was the "inertial" of folks being used to Intel in multi-core servers, and many companies taking a while to even find out Operons even existed.

so would this build significantly outperform a ryzen 7800x build?

I use arch btw

I'm playing Cyberpunk at 3770k 8gb DDR3 1060 3gb at 27fps on fullhd , downscaled to 720p and waiting until prices going down... (This never happen)

Maybe you should run Linux, it seems to be a thing on a thinkpad.

Bought my G14 for £350, there's a lot of crap under £500 but if you know what you're looking for there's some gems.

We use a good amount of old Opteron servers as NVR machines. They're worse in every way than you could ever imagine.

For 400 dollars you could make a pc with a 1080ti

2012 unibody macbook pro.

I got a precision T3600 that I upgraded the cpu from a e5-2650 to an e5-2690 (a fan of my music sent the cpu to me!! which was so cool of them) and it does great for music production with bitwig studio!

mone broke if i could get the manual focus gears to connect with the glass it would be fine but dont see how to do it without breaking it further. stored it at infinity focus and it slide beyond infinity snapping the mechanism. so no auto or manual focus.

My old xeon work station once sold for 10k bought it for 450

Ugreen is the best NAS in the entire world. Hands down.

Buy an i5 13600

“Above 30 fps” it’s not my permanent desktop. It’s a laptop. 30 fps is definitely playable.

Try all the benchmarks with external monitor?

Amd FX 8320e/Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura still running as my test bench.

Maybe some day normal people will be able to do video editing.

What's avx12?

I had a 6350 paired with a 1060 6gb on win7. Worked great for years. Preformed at 1080/60 pretty well.

While this lens is nice, the Minolta Variosoft Rokkor 85mm f2.8 is WAAAY better than the Canon. There are worlds between these lenses. While the Canon is very sharp without SF selected, it gets very muddy compared to the Minolta which stays sharp in a way but a „soft sharpness“ …

Speaking of Opteron,I had a socket 939 one at one time. It was a single core chip,no threads.

Cost is also electricity. Why would enterprises throw them out otherwise?

4 Numa nodes because it is litterally 4 CPU's. 2 per package. You need to make sure you spread the dimms across all ram channels or some cores will be without local ram.

I ended up with 3 seperate opteron systems at one point. They weren't bad for the cost. But modifying a case to fit one of the quad socket mobo was insane. That one's dead now The single socket one got deployed as a nas And the dual one has 6 gpu in it running ollama, it is slow to load up the models but once everything is in vram it is very usable.

You totally buried the lede. The Libreboot thing that you skipped over like it was nothing is the main attraction of using these old Opteron systems. The KGPE-D16 is the most powerful X86 system made that can run a totally open source BIOS, and most crucially _the most powerful X86 system that doesn't come with a spy processor built in._

there's a reason nobody recommends opteron CPUs lol... cuz they were trash on launch, and trash now

I knew about them 3 years ago but there were no motherboards so i stoped looking at them

I got an x1 carbon, but I probably should have gotten a more powerful p series

Nice ironic vid. But you got it all wrong. Its not a Thinkpad. Its. TANKPAD.

Old school Thinkpad afficionado here. My first one was a T61p, it's been through so much that it eventually ended up in parts donors box. Got a 380ED, T42, T43p, T60, T61, R400, T500, W500, T410, T520 and W520. Discombobulated and recombobulated every single one of them, replacing any parts broken, sometimes cannibalizing a unit to fix another. Most of them run Debian, my distro of choice.

10:50 well to be fair there are not a lot of CPUs that support avx12
