There's something special about mini PCs, this Beelink EQi is a lot of fun. Review soon!
What happens when you put a Strix Halo in a NAS? 💥 I don't know but I'm about to find out. An absolutely mad device from @Hi_MINISFORUM can't wait to test the N5 Max!
I've definitely caught the travel router (mobile homelab?) bug! This is a Protectli running Proxmox with a virtualised OpenWRT hooked up to a 5G modem. Having a lot of fun with this one!
Currently having a lot of fun with virtualised OpenWRT on a @protectli VP2430.
Unifi Protect users, which are you using? Shall I do a video on it? I'm thinking of using a remote NAS.
Print quality on the @BambulabGlobal P2S is very impressive. 0.4mm on 0.12mm - huge improvement over my old A1
Genuinely impressed with the Unifi Travel Router, this is going to be extremely useful when leaving home. As a first iteration they've pretty much nailed everything at an aggressive price. Full review and thoughts coming soon!
It's increasingly hard to become excited about AI hardware, but then this shows up... Oh boy, can't wait! tiiny.ai
Ever since buying my MinisForum MS-01 cluster I've been patiently waiting for its true successor. Let's see what this is all about...
Removed a cheap Chinese switch I was using to split my internet connection, gained 2ms. Pretty awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Testing out the MinisForum N5 Pro with ECC RAM - great device so far. CloudOS needs some more work though...
The excitement around this one is palpable MinisForum MS-S1 MAX #minisforum #AI @Hi_MINISFORUM
Got Noctua? Temps and noise dropped considerably. 5090 hits 69C in games, CPU doesn't go above 80C. Lots of headroom to play with.
Loving this new headphone cable custom made by OIDIO - you can choose pretty much any combo https://oidiosound.co.uk/
All in one homelab. A fun little challenge, but one that hopefully many of you can relate to. Don't worry, you don't need a fancy server, most old PCs will do!
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950x3D is ridiculously fast, glad I opted for it over the 9800x3D (productivity is massively increased). The Nvidia 5090 has also made a difference for editing and testing local AI. Overclocking / configuration video in the works.
A huge thanks to everyone who subbed to my new channel https://www.youtube.com/@Tech-Bench - I really appreciate it. Lots of exciting stuff to come, just ironing out some final details.
AMD Has IMPROVED! Testing Intel & AMD Radeon iGPU Transcoding - Out tomorrow!!! All media in this video is free to use, pray to the strike gods!
I rolled the dice on Amazon used "New but packaging damaged". Save a lot and the item is literally new (as stated!). Not even a fingerprint on it.
Organised chaos... The iGPU showdown is taking some work! Intel Vs AMD showdown! How much iGPU do you need for a homelab?
AMD vs Intel iGPU test is underway. There's a ton of stuff to cover in this one. Looking forward to determining just 'how much' iGPU you need for a homelab.
Intel vs AMD iGPU battle. Let's see how much it matters when it comes to homelab.
