I call them super nuts, but whatever. Far easier way to get proper stretch out of a large dia bolt than torquing it to some unhuman ftlbs.

GBU-10's/12's/24's/27's etc use a collar to adapt the bomb body to the guidance unit. The collar is attached with a nut torqued to 600 ft*lbs. On an F-15E, when loaded on the forward pylons/racks on the conformal fuel tank (lower outside of intakes), these collars have a tendency to unscrew themselves. Some weird airflow causes enough torque on the larger GBU-24 fins or something.

So, for that application, they use the superbolt method. Four bolts torqued to 600 in*lbs does the trick.

I first saw those torque wrenches watching one of my favorite youtube channels, Agent JayZ. If im mot mistaken they use them for the main shaft in LM1500/2500 and other industrial/aero gas turbines. Im guessing the aero derivative wouldn't allow for a superbolt, or something. Iirc in one of his videos, they had to loosen a main shaft, which was originally torqued to 4 figures. With time and corrosion, etc it took everything that one of those units had to break it loose. Ive also seen them used on the turret drive mechanism of those gigantic mining buckets.

I'm honestly curious to see how Ryzen compares to Kaby Lake.

AMD has been losing pretty hard in recent years, having not achieved parity with Intel in terms of MIPS/watt and MIPS/Mhz since the '486 era, and fully abandoning their advantage in MIPS/$ in recent years.

I predict that they'll come closer than in recent history, but will, as usual, be limited by thermal performance in the real world, as their published TDP/Ghz numbers are still lacking, and history suggests that AMD will not leap-frog Intel in terms of pipeline / instruction-processor efficiency. I further predict that fanboys will spend hilariously large amounts of money on exotic cooling solutions to push the performance of the highest-end Ryzens to well beyond anything achievable by an Intel processor using the OEM heatsink / fan.


This was a pretty good processor. I replaced my 486DX-66 with one:

If you missed some of the YT videos already posted. Apparently Ryzen beats kaby lake 7700k with some substantial gains per AMD's claims.

https://www.extremetech.com/wp-conte...n-1700-19.jpg?

Some demos were shown as well. Finishing about 10seconds faster on a small file in cinebench, which would equal a much greater yield on a larger file. Ryzen means business.

Given the fact, it does have 4 more physical cores, and 4 additional threads. I'm surprised they were able to keep the TDP modest.

It sort of reminds me of AMD's Bulldozer approach.


Biggest factor out of everything though is the price. The highest end intel is over $1,000 while they're pricing the 1800X at $499 for similar or slightly better results.

Isn't this about the time that Intel announces the latest technological innovation that they've been sitting on for 2 years which completely blindsides AMD?

I refuse to give money to a company that has been gouging it's customers for the past decade, providing marginal at best performance increases with each generation, all while charging absurd amounts of money.
It's the same reason i don't buy an iPhone.

I've been on AMD for years and i don't plan to switch, regardless of what Intel does.

I did skip a few generations though.

I've read the early reviews. And like I said, it looks great on paper, and I'm curious to see how it performs in the real world. Maybe AMD will be able to enjoy a few months of relative supremacy in the high-end desktop / workstation market.

As for me, I'm still rockin' an old Core i5-750 that I bought in 2010.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a8edfd9dd3.png




Customarily, yes. At the moment, Intel is having pretty poor yield with the new 10nm process which is expected to be used on Cannonlake, so the next six months or so will be very interesting to watch in that part of the world.



Also, the last page of this thread has been very amusing.

Joe, what antenna should I get for my house?

Oilstain's TV Fool

https://www.tvfool.com/modeling/tmp/.../Radar-All.png

You're close enough to Phoenix that pretty much any large indoor antenna will work well for the UHF channels. Protip: "amplified" antennas, at least at consumer price-points, are worthless. They just amplify the noise.

The best indoor DTV antenna I've ever used was one I made myself by nailing a bunch of wire to a piece of plywood in the form of a yagi. Abe Mira's (AbeFM's) 2010 Superbowl Party featured it perched precariously on top of a bookshelf in his living room. The Who really killed it with their halftime performance on that one. I don't remember anything else about that game.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Abe around here in a while...

ATSC on VHF is hard to pull in well. A lot of stations made the mistake of electing to retain their historical VHF allocation after the NTSC sunset. Originally, everyone was assigned UHF channels for the DTV powerup, but those stations which originally possessed a VHF assignment were given the option to revert back to it after the analog shutdown. A few (including my last station, WPIX, as well as WABC) elected to exercise this option for reasons which are a mystery to me, and it has proven to be a disaster.

When I lived in Hoboken, I could see the top of Empire from my kitchen window, and yet I had a really hard time pulling in my own station (channel 11). The problem is that most modern TV antennas are optimized for the UHF band (where the majority of ATSC stations are located) and perform poorly down at VHF frequencies.

Yeah tons of click bait with that shit man. Theres all kinds of "benchmarks" and shit for a cpu thats not released yet and wont be released for another 2 weeks.. Read some of the articles and you'll see most of them are full of ads from top to bottom.

Random question for Joe - why was it that tv stations in the 80s would go off air in the late hours, but current day tv stations broadcast around the clock?

The key-shift at Beelzebub nailed it.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a15470b999.png

I thought the point of an amplifier was to deliver a usable signal down a longer run of coax? I have a rooftop mounted antenna which works very well, but I had one channel that I couldn't get a consistent signal on -- it would frequently pixelate, freeze, and drop completely. I used of these and it boosted the delivered signal to the TV (well, computer actually) enough that it is completely stable. Obviously, if you've got a noisy signal to begin with, it's not going to help much, but it worked perfectly for my purpose.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/...5a7370015c.jpg

I'm not impressed just yet. Waiting to see what OC they will handle in the next few weeks.

I've used AMD forever, ready to jump ship to Intel. Unless this new cpu is actually a game changer.

http://www.notyetread.com/wp-content...fc23caab3.gif?

i don't understand this logic. Why would you just now jump ship and not 10 years ago? They have already proven that retail versions of the chip are better than the x99 platform. Even if it is exactly the same you will be saving almost half the cost of a competitive Intel unit.

There were press conferences where they displayed gaming and streaming performance. There have also been independent reviews done already but they all have been removed from YouTube. I believe early next week you will see the independent reviews start coming out. Maybe not with retail boards, though.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...81faa0bac4.png

My understanding is that the home amplification can help with line loss after the antenna. If you have a short run and no splitters, it will make it worse. If you have splitters and long lines an amp could help.

Meh. I've been probably 95% Intel and Nvidia for nearly a decade now and have no regrats. I mean yeah, there is some fun in trying to figure out an overclock, BTDT, but I'm at a point where if I need a faster CPU, I buy a faster CPU. Absolutely nothing I do needs to be so bleeding edge that I need to overclock anything, and the E-PENIS POINTS™ don't matter to me. I've tried to help people with AMD/ATI based systems, both laptops and desktops, and drivers have always been a nightmare. I understand that's gotten better (citation needed) in recent years, but I'd rather have something that I don't have to struggle with to get working correctly with Windows.

Some time in the last couple years I upgraded from an i7 930 to an i7 4790K. Why own a K and and stick it in a H97 board with no overclock? Because fuck you, that's why. :giggle:

Correction: only someone who doesn't understand climate change.

I've been living happily on AMD / Nvidia since, well forever. I've never used an Intel processor in my personal computer. Believe it or not, there was a time when you could get an Nvidia northbridge on an AMD board.
This 4c/4t 965 has been happily overclocked on 4ghz for the better part of 6 years. I don't live on the bleeding edge of technology. I generally skip a generation of GPUs as well. I'm hopping to skip 3 maybe 4 with this 980 on my Ryzen build.
I'm not rebuilding with Ryzen out of necessity. I've been doing just fine on all the latest titles with max settings, even broadcasting and video capture. This build should last me another 8 years minus a GPU or two. I've been anticipating and waiting for the release of this CPU for a long time now.

You can call me a fanboy, because i am.


My first non consumer(off the shelf) AMD build. Before this i was just cramming GPUs in store bought PCs.

It's slightly less powerful than the Ryzen 1800X, but it also has a slightly lower power consumption. It also doesn't use an Intel CPU.
