05:41 jnettlet[m]> Ke: yes both those memory modules should work fine.
06:37 Ke> they should be the same even though other says 15 and other 17
06:53 jnettlet[m]> okay, well unbuffered is the magic word to look for with ECC memory. I have not read any updates that say registered memory is now supported.
07:02 Ke> sure
07:57 Ke> now I ordered https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00HVKMI9S/ https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01CK7KMB2/ https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01FM3GBC0/ https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07125KWG1/
07:58 Ke> expected delivery next week
08:10 jnettlet[m]> wow, that is quite the order
08:11 jnettlet[m]> take pictures for us :)
09:29 topi`> Ke: I got a Corsair DDR4 part (16GB) and it only worked on mcbin after I git pulled the newest mv-ddr and built it
09:30 topi`> 450 W power supply? what are you trying to build, an ethereum mining rig? :)
09:31 topi`> I have one leftover Radeon 5870, maybe it would work with radeonfb if I manage to get Tianocore on mcbin
09:31 Ke> sadly there are not too many reasonable power sources available
10:39 jnettlet[m]> Ke: what are you shooting for? without a GPU a 250 Watt PSU should be more than enough for drives in all those bays and the mcbin.
10:40 jnettlet[m]> I generally figure about 25 Watts per 7200rpm drive
10:44 Ke> sure, I just did not want to buy the most dubious psu
10:45 Ke> the problem is that I would assume the 450W psu will always waste at least 5W
10:47 Ke> but in general case it seems to me that quite many pieces of hw will survive for eternity, so buying bad parts is not the way to go
10:50 Ke> in general the cheap PSU will never mention anything about power efficiency either
10:50 jnettlet[m]> well bequiet! makes a 300W psu that is rated 80plus
10:51 Ke> yup saw that one and considered it
10:51 Ke> it had worse rating though, but in effect the waste might have been smaller on low range power inputs
10:53 Ke> and no modular cabling
10:54 Ke> corsair also has served me well in the past
