Today I began assembling my new GNU/Linux machine. Inserting the Xeon W-1270P and 32Gb of ECC memory was, of course, no problem. However, the heat sink was a fucking bitch. The Intel heat sink, based on a heat pipe design, is more than adequate to dissipate the 125 Watts across a mere 1 inch square CPU. But the attachment is the problem. Four screws attach the heat sink to the MB and each screw is located directly beneath the heat sink vanes. There is no fucking way to get a Phillips head screwdriver into position. Well, Intel does provide "tunnels" through the vanes to accommodate a screwdriver but an 8-inch screwdriver shaft would be needed. The best I have is a shaft of about 4 inches. I ain't about to purchase a screwdriver with an 8-inch shaft. I have 1/4" screwdriver sockets with a 12-inch shaft but those will not fit through the heat sink "tunnels." So I have to take my Phillips screwdriver with a 4-inch shaft and angle it about 30 degrees and then provide additional force to tighten the screws. It works but it is not the ideal solution. Why can't these assholes inform the buyer that special tools may be needed? Anyway, the worst is over. All I need is a vid card and a power supply and I will bring it to life. This will happen in the weeks ahead. There's no hurry. Rome was not built in a day. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! -- Gentoo: The Fastest GNU/Linux Hands Down

I'm building a new PC myself, this Winter. I've got everything except the power supply and heatsink/fan, which are back-ordered. I can borrow those items from work to play some before they arrive. -- "My whole claim is that JPGs can and often do have EXIF data (but need not to).

The problem is that going in at a 30 degree angle risks stripping the heads of those cheap Chinese screws (they are like butter). Home Depot/Lowes/Etc. are full of that cheap Chinese hardware. I've had bolt heads rip off with only moderate tightening. A master craftsman has no alternative except maybe McMaster-Carr. The funny thing about this install however is that Intel actually supplied too much heat sink grease. I expected those cheap bastards to provide only a small token amount but I actually used only half of what they gave. -- Gentoo: The Fastest GNU/Linux Hands Down

Do yourself a favor and get something like a Noctua or similar. They are much better. As for thermal compound, if it's an Intel CPU, 4 very small dots in each corner and one in the middle. Don't spread it. Install your cooler on top of if and you will be fine. Make sure all of your clips are tight. Problem solved. -- pothead All about snit read below.

Depends how many monitors you hook to it. My old ASUS loptap [sic] had two extras for awhile... one on the HDMI port and one out of the mini DP port with a VGA adapter. The mini PC has two HDMI ports; it's nice to not have to devote one of the monitors to a Corporate laptop. Take me to the river, that shivery river, get the river ready for me. I'm gonna drown my troubles, there'll be just some bubbles to indicate what used to be me! -- Sometimes I live in the country, And sometimes I live in town.

Precisely. > My old ASUS loptap [sic] had two extras for awhile... one on the HDMI port > and one out of the mini DP port with a VGA adapter. Similarly, this laptop can support its built-in display, plus either: 1 external @ 8K/60Hz, or 1 external @ 4K/240Hz, or 2 externals of 6K/60Hz or at 4K/144Hz (including one of each). That's already as many discrete displays as what Feeb's claiming he's going to hopefully eventually have, although if I had needed more, I could have opted for a higher end model, which ~doubles the amount: Built-in display, plus either: 4 externals of 3 @ 6K/60Hz + 1 @ 4K/144Hz, or 3 externals of 2 @ 6K/60Hz + 1 @ 4K/240Hz, or 3 externals of 2 @ 6K/60Hz + 1 @ 8K/60Hz. > The mini PC has two HDMI ports; it's nice to not have to devote one > of the monitors to a Corporate laptop. Depends on the use case/workflow needs, of course: if one typically needs just two displays in a desktop setting, then having an allocation "lost" to a closed laptop screen isn't necessarily a big deal when built-in +2 externals are supported. And even in the earlier days when it was +1 external, there were sometimes workarounds. I can recall a Thinkpad where its workaround was that the built-in could be mirrored which didn't count as an "extra", so the solution was for the the laptop to be left open but off to the side; the desktop was two externals, one of which was a mirror of the set-aside laptop's built-in that was running but not being watched (if this description makes sense). -hh

All I know about him is that he's probably been a photographer for some obscure online tabloid magazine. Farley once mentioned he's rich. So he must've inherited a lot of money from his parents.
