Minor hardware enhancements on petrosian, tal and carlsen

I discovered some possible thermal issues on carlsen. Since this is a passive cooled PC thermal management needs to be done right. It wasn't. Therefore I will be adding heatsinks to the RAM and SSD of carlsen

Because these discovered possible issues I started to question where I should add heatsinks as well and discovered the SSD and the 2x 8GB crucial RAM of petrosian were not heat protected as well. Additionally the SSD of tal will get a heatsink as well.

Major upgrade upcoming

tal will be replaced by a new tal featuring a ryzen 9000 CPU and X870 mainboard. The case is a streacom DA6 XL and it features analog VU1 meters to check the CPU, GPU, memory and network usage. The GPU and keyboard will be taken over from old tal. The monitor will be 49 inch 32:9 monitor with the old 16:9 monitors being placed above the 32:9 one.

This upgrade will be coming in a few weeks.

tal becomes a NAS

Because the major upgrade of tal (see above), tal will be renamed and repurposed as a Network Attached Storage. It will run TrueNAS scale and keep it's currently installed disks, however they will be reformatted using ZFS. Tal will also be used as a SAN for petrosian using a directly attached 10GBe network.
