Nope, that seems to be where the April date comes from, though they did retweet something posted in May.

General CPU Discussion / Re: 3U HSF End of Life'd

It seems SoSi's last LinkedIn post was only three months ago so I don't quite have alarm bells ringing just yet, but it would be nice to at least get like a photo of a prototype board or screenshot or something. We know they're working on it and they've released more information than that like it's compatible with at least one major heatsink format (I'm guessing SF2).

I'm looking at an AM5 air cooler, the Thermalright AXP90-X47. Is that a matter of air vs water cooled, or AM5 vs SF2?

You mentioned earlier that it could be 3D printable with the right plastic, would PA12 nylon be worth giving a shot? It seems it can be done for about $50 including vapor smoothing or tumbling, or $35 without. If I'm reading the spec sheets right it should have enough strength for the P9 mount and heat resistance up to ~90 C at that pressure, I'd mainly be wondering how it would fare statically.

Alright, good to know. What material should I get it done with?

I've read that already and didn't want to if I could avoid it, but finally went around to starting a trial of BricsCAD. Not even it can open it. I should also note apparently the commandline instantly crashes when I try opening it (so I can try to recover the file) so... I don't really know.
Also, the earlier file worked with all the aforementioned, it's just the repository ones that haven't.

I've been trying to even open the files on the github, and nothing seems to open them. FreeCAD, LibreCAD, Cura, ODA File Converter... I even tried handing them off to various print shops' quote pages and none of them could open them either. I don't think my copy is corrupt, I've redownloaded it a few times...

Oh, thanks for mentioning the 6800 directly. I'll probably only go with a 6600 or a 7700, but maybe I'll change my mind, so the confirmation is nice.
Hopefully, we see some optimizations soon.

Third Party CPU Discussion / Re: Why haven't we seen boards with Power9 / MicroWatt?

If they could make one in the ~$800 range, I'd consider it as a NAS board. Don't need that much power for one of those.

I'd say cy is right, RISC-V has all the meme status. And hey, it is an open standard ISA; but people just don't know PowerPC is just as open as it so it's mostly just enthusiasts coming from the Power Mac or Amiga or the die-hard of die-hard free hardware enthusiasts, who might still find something to prefer about the RISC-V boards, like the Pioneer's Micro ATX form factor giving it more expansion slots and replaceable RAM. Though that's really rubbing up to the cost of a Blackbird by that point...

Nice, I might not enjoy survival but I'll almost certainly get plenty of time out of multiplayer and Creative.

Blackbird / Re: Availability of P9 hardware post-ISA 3.1 HW launch
« on: July 14, 2024, 05:58:05 am »
Yep. I snagged a 231 for $175, probably the greatest deal I've ever gotten. 32 GB memory, too; really all I need is the Blackbird itself, some sort of cooling (I really want to see about getting that SecuFirm 2 mount fabricated but without a way to open up the files to confirm stuff like measurements for a quote; that's something for later), and a bunch of storage. POWER9 might be aging but it'd still be the fastest computer I ever owned, so I can't imagine I won't be perfectly happy with it for a decade or so from now if I'm still even happy with a Power Mac G4.

Whoops, meant to reply.
I went looking for it again, but couldn't find it -- it was just a Reddit post, so grains of salt anyway. I imagine it had some basis in fact, most of this kind of stuff is, but I certainly couldn't verify it myself.

I've seen one once, but haven't since. I'm thinking there might be a handful showing up there when the S1-based boards come out.

Blackbird / Availability of P9 hardware post-ISA 3.1 HW launch
« on: April 13, 2024, 12:38:51 am »
As far as I know, the plan for the Solid Silicon hardware is to release late this year. Will there be a period where you can buy either a Blackbird or the new offering, or will it directly replace it? I assume Vikings keeps a couple in stock at any one time so they'll wait until they run out to discontinue their listing, but I'm not in Europe.
Thanks.
Thanks.
