| 07:11 | suihkulokki> | jnettlet[m]: nothing special in my build, just a build since I didn't find anything prebuilt on the mcbin site |
| 07:15 | jnettlet[m]> | okay I can add a build. |
| 07:23 | jnettlet[m]> | Ke: This is the fan I like the best so far. https://www.amazon.de/Titan-TTC-CSC31TZ-RB-Chipsatz-K%C3%BChler/dp/B002ZS1HUC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1511763445&sr=8-10&keywords=northbridge+k%C3%BChler |
| 07:25 | jnettlet[m]> | But the big problem with the northbridge coolers is that they all need to be controlled by voltage scaling rather than PWM. I have a PWM to voltage controller I have been playing around with but that just adds cost, all though it would allow you to also scale a case fan as well. |
| 07:31 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: I haven't seen any pwm-voltage controllers, but I guess they are still off the shelf products even with connectors? |
| 07:34 | jnettlet[m]> | I found 1 and it is way overkill |
| 07:36 | jnettlet[m]> | Ke: http://www.phanteks.com/PH-PWHUB.html |
| 07:37 | Ke> | =D |
| 07:37 | Ke> | I could always consider water cooling |
| 07:38 | jnettlet[m]> | or immerse the entire board in mineral oil |
| 07:40 | suihkulokki> | or maybe like this: https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/114923953348955727688/6491308934275851762?icm=false&iso=true |
| 07:41 | Ke> | suihkulokki: yeah, I was thinking about a similar solution |
| 07:41 | Ke> | suihkulokki: I am glad you already overdid it |
| 07:43 | Ke> | suihkulokki: did you try grub-install --removable |
| 07:43 | Ke> | suihkulokki: it works also with eMMC |
| 07:43 | Ke> | suihkulokki: also did you check whether persistent EFI variables are actually persistent |
| 07:44 | Ke> | if that does not work for you either, we could poke our support here |
| 07:44 | jnettlet[m]> | I have been looking at the bequiet! line of cases |
| 07:45 | jnettlet[m]> | their mid-tier has an integrated PWM controller hub |
| 07:46 | jnettlet[m]> | I just wish they made a compact form factor. |
| 08:01 | jnettlet[m]> | Ke: suihkulokki what distros are you running on your mcbin's? |
| 08:02 | Ke> | debian |
| 08:02 | Ke> | as I got the installer from suihkulokki, I assume it's debian also there |
| 08:05 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: installers here https://people.debian.org/~riku/mcbin/ |
| 08:06 | jnettlet[m]> | thanks I will take a look, see how it differs from my setup. |
| 08:22 | suihkulokki> | jnettlet[m]: yeah, I'm working on getting mcbin supported in debian |
| 10:43 | Ke> | suihkulokki: isn't that work mostly done now? |
