Good. That took a bit longer than expected. That said, it (mostly) only works with the professional-level Olympus cameras. (I have an E-M1 Mark III, but... that's expensive as heck.)
I might try this out when I get a chance :p
The point is to be able to use the camera you already have as a webcam.
webcams market have been stagnant and no major improvement on that when DSLR cameras are killing it for streaming
you could get a C920 or a Logitech Brio but a decent camera is even better
The C920 is almost a 9 year old webcam (Jan 2012) and some people still buy it today because there is no more competitive product on the 50$ market range
I'm putting together a PC. The motherboard supports 2 CPU's, but I'd like to only use 1. There are 2 connections for CPU power, they are *Not* labeled 'cpu 1' and 'cpu 2' however
How do I know which one to plug the PSU-CPU 4 pin cable into?
I think I'm going to try plugging into ATX12V1 and leave ATX12V2 out. I don't have a second 8 pin cable anyways (although my PSU came with a slot for it, not the cable)
@dustytrash On a dual-socket board, it's likely each processor has its own power input. If only one socket is populated, your system will not work if you're not using the correct power connector.
Are you sure you're populating the correct processor socket?
(Windows 10 Pro supports two sockets; Windows 10 Pro for Workstations supports four sockets.)
Memory must be installed in the slots adjacent to the first socket.
Also, ensure you're using ECC memory. While normal desktop DDR4 will likely work, these server processors are designed to be used with high-reliability ECC memory.
(Registered and load-reduced memory can also be used as this is a server board.)
VMs... yeah, you're going to want a fair bit of memory. That said, do you expect to need 128 GB of RAM (which is what you'll get if you get two sets of the memory linked)?
Bear in mind you don't want things to span NUMA nodes. If you're intending to run VMs on one specific processor, you're only going to have 64 GB of memory directly accessible to each processor this way.
@dustytrash Non-uniform memory access is basically when you have processors (or in some cases, sets of processor cores) that can access all the memory on the machine, but not all at the same latency; memory attached to a different processor is slower to access than memory attached to the processor from which the access is made.
Any system with multiple sockets will be a NUMA system.
Non-uniform memory access (NUMA) is a computer memory design used in multiprocessing, where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to the processor. Under NUMA, a processor can access its own local memory faster than non-local memory (memory local to another processor or memory shared between processors). The benefits of NUMA are limited to particular workloads, notably on servers where the data is often associated strongly with certain tasks or users.NUMA architectures logically follow in scaling from symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) architectures. They were develope...
In the setup you propose, each processor will have 64 GB of memory directly connected to it, and can access that memory without additional delay. It can access memory attached to the other processor, but doing that takes longer. Most major operating systems support this type of setup and try to keep applications running on a given socket on the memory attached to that socket.
Have you considered Ryzen 9 or Ryzen Threadripper instead? I suppose you're using old server gear because it's cheaper...
(if you need even higher core counts with two sockets, there's EPYC, but that's probably well in excess of your requirements)
Hmm. The processors don't even support DDR4-2133, only 1866. I'd suppose those modules will work, only at the slower speed.
amazon.com/dp/B07X21M7S8 (substantially the same price, but a single set of eight modules; with both processors installed, populate all eight blue slots)
Bear in mind this is a server board and can accept huge amounts of memory. If for any reason you need more RAM, up to 768 GB is supported with the processors you have; there are 64 GB and even 128 GB memory modules that are designed specifically for server use, but they're extremely expensive.
This configuration still leaves eight more memory slots.
(8x64 GB + 8x32 GB will get you to 768 GB)
(currently, many 32 GB modules and all 64 GB and larger modules are RDIMMs or LRDIMMs, which will only work on server processors, e.g. Xeon or EPYC)
