R.I.P. AMD
R.I.P. RX480
You fucked up AMD.
>https://hardforum.com/threads/amd-radeon-rx-480-video-card-review-h.1903637/page-3#post-1042386067
>"With Tom's Hardware reporting that the RX 480 draws (substantailly) more than the 75W allowed from the motherboard (for example, the PCI Express high-power card spec allows a mazimum of 66W to be drawn from the 12V pins of the PCI Express slot, and the RX 480 averages79W from the 12V lines alone) AMD seems to be violating the PCI Express(R) spec.
According to the licensing contract for the spec, if they do not fix this within 3 months, AMD will NOT be able to call the card a PCI Express card. If they do, they face not only litigation, but if my understanding is correct an action before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to ban the importation of the card as counterfeit goods. You might think the PCI-SIG will give AMD a pass, but if they do, they risk loosing the trademark entirely. An unforced trademark gets invalidated. The SIG won't let that happen.
So what does this mean to the consumer? I think there are two possibilities, if we assume AMD will not choose to remove the PCI Express logos from these cards: Either they will alter the boards to have an 8-pin socket and to more power from there, or they will neuter the card to ensure it doesn't draw more power than the PCI Express specification allows. I don't see any other options.

tl;dr we skipped long-term overclocking and overvolting tests, since the Radeon RX 480’s power consumption through the PCIe slot jumped to an average of 100W, peaking at 200W. We just didn’t want to do that to our test platform
So the mainboard 12V got an average of 82W but the GPU was drawing 164W peak?
2nd Kirchhoff's law disagrees.
>/gcg/
This is actually a big legal problem for AMD now, I wonder what they are going to do.
Not to mention I wonder how many motherboards this is going to damage and the lawsuits they may face from that.

What OS would you recommend for a CS student?
I´m thinking on a Windows/ dualboot, but I´m not sure what to put in the second place. Debian? Xubuntu? Arch?
I´ll be using a Thinkpad T420
>>55336606
you'll be able to do everything on gnu/linux unless they expect you to dev c#/.net code (in which case it might be doable but visual studio is literally the only reason to dev on windows) but if you can't you probably shouldn't be in cs
but I really would recommend a dualboot on an ssd
>>55336650
I regularly work with .NET/Mono on GNU+Linux and it's really not much of a problem.
Visual Studio Code / Atom / MonoDevelop are decent, Emacs works best for me.

PHP appreciation thread
I hate PHP. It's not intuitive and its standard library is a mess.
That's as far as my "appreciation" for PHP will go.
>>55336637
>standard library
But PHP has no standard library.

Stick to php7, use composer and good libs, and PHP is pretty comfy :3

What would you use a home server for? /g/ answer - Fuck you, you turbo autist! Simple answer - For whatever you want. From media to development to virtualization, options abound.
Power - Any server DDR2 based is going to be power hungry. Most multi-socket Intel DDR2 systems are FBDIMM based. Anything else is ECC. With DDR3 based units coming off 2nd lease, anything DDR2 should be avoided.
Plex - 1080p transcoding at 10MBPS requires a CPUMark score of ~2000 per stream. This is especially true with first generation i3/5/7 / DDR3 Xeons. The more recent the CPU, the more slack there is in this. For some reason, Plex doesn't seem to like low power options (Xeon 1220L, for example).
Virtualization - ESXi, KVM, Hyper-V, etc. ESXi is generally used by Linux heavy shops that aren't cloud centered. KVM is usually used in OpenStack. Hyper-V is for mostly Microsoft centric shops. These are all free, so use what you like.
Storage - Both ZFS and Storage Spaces pool. If you're going to use these options, do NOT configure the drive with a hardware RAID controller. Many options are available in general, such as FreeNAS, Nas4Free, OpenMediaVault, Windows Storage Server, Linux / Unix / BSD, etc. Some are free, some are not.
What should I get? A good starting point, if you don't want to build your own system, is an HP Proliant Micro G8, 8GB DDR3 ECC (Not Registered or RDIMM), 4 3.5" drives, and a 16GB micro SD card. Install OpenMediaVault on the SD card, and enjoy ZFS, Plex, and whatever else you want to try.
Where can I get things? Ebay is a good place to start. Used / refurbished gear is fine, provided that the seller is selling a large quantity of them. With drives especially, this is the case. The only real drive to avoid is the Seagate ES.2 1TB. These have faulty firmware and fail prematurely (Ask EMC).

what the fuck were they thinking?
>>55336454
I guess it's too much for AMD to make a decent product. And after all that hype and promises. Fuck them
>>55336454
What do you expect from AMD, Every time there's something new from AMD, people jump on the bandwagon and say it's gonna be great. I really hoped this card would be good, I still use the 7970, which is think is one of the best cards since the 8800 from Nvidia.
Everyone else too lazy to make a new thread edition

Every live distro does that. You can even create a persistent storage, if you want.
