A Complete Waste of Space

Two weeks ago...set the wife's computer up the same way.

I'm now running a AMD 8350...eight cores of goodness...@ 4.6ghz, watercooled
with a H110...EVGA HD 570GTX w/ 2.5 gig vram.

Now back to IL2 1946 & HSFX full time.

Water cooling for two CPUs and two X2 video cards was a nightmare
and it requires a bit of attention to details like leaks and water levels.
But it is worth it. Two AMD FX72 and the Nvidia 295s are still hard to beat.
I have three water pumps, three heat exchangers and several water manifolds.
A plumbers nightmare! But few computers can equal it after 7 years! (and many upgrades).

Damn...HH, ya musta been a plumber IRL.

Not a bad rig for 7 years old .
Note the second Power supply.
At the time I built this there was no 2,000 watt PSUs available
so I was forced to piggy back two of them for 1600 watts, and now
2,075 watts. Perfect reliability so far. The DYNEX 600 watt unit on the desk
runs the cooling system and some other stuff. The 1474 watt unit internal
runs the video cards and CPUs only.
I will never recomend piggybacking PSUs as there is a risk involved.
But if you must, be careful to have a common ground and use the same outlet
or better yet the same power strip.

I ain't no/know electrician....that's a shit load of amps on one power strip...have ya calculated how many?...Most rooms have/use, I think a 20 amp breaker...just figuring in room lighting and that load...I wonder how close or in excess of the amp threshold you are...? When, I'm not certain....I get cautious. Between Wife's and my computer, one being a 950 watt PSU and the other an 850 PSU, I'm damn careful about what else, I plug in... Just throwing this out there for your consideration...I believe, you smart enough to build it, you probably gave this other it's rightful calculation/consideration.

If the unit really used 100% there would be a 17 amp draw.
In reality you never want to run a PSU at more than 30%
sustained load. I doubt the real load ever nears more than
10 amps. I started with a 800 watt unit, it burned out frequently.
Then I used a 1200 watt unit, it failed. Then a 1200 watt unit piggybacked.
It lasted 5 years. I assume heat was the reason, not the peak power usage.

Anybody here know anything about "IL2 Servers" as in I believe "FBDAEMON" ?

My group is having a hell of a time with getting ours to run...the old platter hdd was
replaced with a SSD and the damn thing is timing out or miscalculating time and shutting down?

This is primarily sent in Tolwyn's direction, though, any help, ideas most appreciated.

Yeah Pud try alt/f4 see if that works
