Dammit, I came here hoping to see at least one “I have a very special set of skills.” Oh well.
Yeah I’d cut bait, rebuild from latest tapes. But also…
I’d put the corrupted backups in an eye-catching container, like a Lisa Frank backpack or Barbie lunchbox, to put on the wall in my office as a cautionary tale.
Nice, sounds like you narrowed it down.
You can leave turbo boost on and make more subtle adjustments using command line utilities like cpufreq or with GUI-based unraid plugins like this one.
Before spending time fiddling with settings though, you might try using /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference to set one of the built-in profiles like balance_power. If you do need to make manual adjustments, I would try lowering max clock speed first.
Not sure but I’d guess VRM. Would try to localize sound with a mic to be sure. If no RMA or pending FW update, would try disabling problematic c-states and/or dampening with thermal pads.
I liked the mitosis analogy. May I borrow it?
