It’s been almost a month since I started that new workstation build before coming back up on some new hardware. But it wasn’t what was pictured in that post. People at the local Amazon™ warehouse must hate me. I had at least two of everything here before sending most of it back while looking for the bad DIMM. Ended up being at least 3 bad DIMMs in 4 seperate packaged pairs before they were all returned after selecting a different model.
Never found them intermittently bad like that before. It helps to have at least a midrange mobo with post lights. There really is a 1st time for everything – especially with all the junk coming out of China these days. This was the 3rd mobo. I kinda liked the looks of the AsRock model before it better, but oh well…
This tech refresh basically involves what we used to call a forklift migration to Rocky Linux, with a new workstation now online and Onion3 coming…
Late Update: Latest replacement DIMM pair lasted 2 days before they quit. At least I can run it half populated. Longest PC build ever.
