Donc pas de RMA pour les Core i9-14900K sous métal liquide

Il semblerait donc bien qu'Intel refuse les demandes de RMA pour les processeurs 14900K qui sont touchés par des soucis d'instabilité et qui utilisaient de la pâte thermique en métal liquide. Cela fait écho à un problème de prise en charge d'un de nos lecteurs, mais cela semble être la même chose pour un autre utilisateur à Hong Kong. Intel a refusé la garantie du processeur car l'IHS de ce dernier avait été détérioré par la pâte thermique, rendant illisible les numéros de série du processeur. Dans les termes de garantie des bleus, il est bien mentionné qu'un processeur exploitant du Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material ne sera pas pris en garantie. On peut donc penser que les bleus sont dans leur bon droit et c'est le cas. […]

SilverStone HELA 1650R Platinum, une très grosse connectique

Le ratio puissance / volume est de puis très longtemps un point mis très avant par SilverStone pour les alimentations, mais voilà un point qu'on peut désormais oublier avec la nouvelle HELA 1650R Platinum, bien qu'une petite vignette indique 711 W par litre, ou 710.6 W plus exactement. Ce nouveau venu mesure en effet 180 mm de profondeur, chose assez rare pour la marque, ce qui permet de mettre du lourd sur plusieurs points. Certifiée Cybenetics Platinum, cette alimentation embarque un ventilateur de 140 mm à roulement FDB et mode 0 rpm sous 300 W de charge, de nombreuses protections (OCP, OPP, OVP, SCP, UPP et OTP), ainsi qu'une très grosse connectique basée sur des câbles modulaires plats.

JONSBO FR-606, du ventilateur au style unique

Ne le nions pas, il devient assez difficile de se démarquer par le style sur les ventilateurs. Le RGB est partout et travailler le cadre peut impliquer une réduction du diamètre des pales, et donc des performances. Ce qui ne semble pas poser de problème pour certaines marques, comme JONSBO avec ses nouveaux modèles FR-606 en 120 mm, également proposés avec des pales en reverse. Un effet miroir infini très classique au centre, mais aussi sur les côtés avec un cadre arrondi qui vient suivre les pales, voilà un peu de neuf pour un rendu qui semble original même s'il faudra confirmer. Tout comme pour les performances, puisque la vitesse de rotation est bien diminuée avec un maximum à 1500 rpm. […]

Kansas City, Missouri - Home of Great BBQ

Wow, it's been an amazing time since I've written on this blog.
Right now as I type, I'm in Kansas City, MO checking out
commercial property and visiting family.

There isn't enough time to go to all the places I want to go
here, but there is one place someone may want to check out.
Yesterday, I went somewhere I hadn't been since I was
around 10 years old.

My father and I stopped by the Liberty Memorial. It's a WWI
memorial. It's at the top of a hill that overlooks KCMO and it's
a place you'd want to stop and see. The statues and monument
are colossal.

Liberty Memorial is quite a sight to see. Take a look and see this
beautiful place.

Another place that is very popular in KCMO is Gates Barbeque.
My mother grew up with the owner, who name is Ollie Gates.
He's one of the leading entrepreneurs in KCMO. He owns all of
the Gates Barbeque restaurants and they are known for their
famous BBQ and BBQ sauce. He also owns many properties in
town. He's definitely a role model to emulate.

The other BBQ chain is Bryants BBQ. These are two places you'd
want to see if you travel to Kansas City. Kansas City is known for
their BBQ nationwide.

I'm here to check out the commercial property in the area. Many
homes and apartments are boarded up. It's so sad to see. Online
I checked the retail shopping centers that are for sale in the area.
Many of those are corporate owned for unknown reasons. Not
sure what has happened to the economy here, but looks like it's
taken it's toll.

Well today, I'm scouting a few residential properties to get a feel of
the real estate market. If I see something interesting or with
potential, I'll be sure to submit a letter of intent. We'll see what
happens. This evening I'm going to see if I can locate a Karaoke
spot to hang out at.

Well, until then, take care and thanks for stopping by.

MySQL optimization

I have noticed a lot of queries of SproutSearch's main database table are getting slow as SproutSearch passes 8 million indexed blogs. I finally decided to do something about it after trying to add alter this table. I attempted to add a column that keeps track of the date and time of each blog's most recent post. The alter table command ran for at least 8 hours, and then MySQL either crashed or the admins killed my process. I attempted this a second time without making a new index, which also failed. I figured I would just create a new table with the extra column and write a program to slowly copy everything over. The first version of this PHP program queried 10,000 rows of data from the old table and inserted them one by one into the new table. I set up a cron job to run this every 10 minutes. Once the new table started getting big, the cron jobs were overlapping, some records were not copied, and copy processes started backing up. It dawned on me that I'd better learn something about MySQL optimization. I read some online articles and decided to try using mysqli_multi_query to copy the records. That would reduce the network overhead. The program ran several times faster but I wanted to look into other methods. I tried using prepared statements, which wasn't much better. I found this excellent article (http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=377652&seqNum=4&rl=1) which said if I use the insert format like: insert into table (column1, column2) values(val1, val2), (val1, val2)... MySQL wouldn't have to flush the index after every insert. I made my program create a giant insert statement in this format. I tried it out and it only took a few seconds when the new table was empty. I modified the program to run 10 batches of 10,000 records, which would take a few minutes. This program has been running for a few days, and all my data is finally in the new table. I am still having problems with the table being locked during lengthy select statements. It causes certain pages to hang for a long time. I am now copying all the data from a MYISAM table to a INNODB table because it has row level locking.
