I already have a razor blade / lint free wipes / 97% iso ready to go from the surgery we did on my 2600k  , it just seemed more realistic with the way these screw in in compared to the intel brackets v0vEdit/Quote for new page Palladium posted:http://techreport.com/news/31826/ryzen-cant-put-amd-into-the-black-for-its-fiscal-q1-2017 Even if they had managed to ship rock solid motherboards and known good memory on day one I don't think it would have made a difference. I'd imagine they anticipate coming back in a big way with ~vega~ (try not to laugh), the "super processors" they were hinting at WRT combining vega and ryzen would be  so dandy. I could't imagine paying $1100 for an Intel processor, but I would easily spend that much for a 2nd gen Ryzen + Vega w/ 8-16GB of HBM2 onboard.

Nah, all you need is 99% isopropyl, or whatever is the highest-test stuff you can get. 70% will do in a pinch, just be careful to let it air out for a while longer because it does leave a little bit of water residue. And don't go nuts spilling 70% everywhere either. That plus coffee filters or some other lint/fiber free wipes. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 01:43 on May 2, 2017 |

I used to just use coffee filters until I found these 'tissues' made out of the same thing. I couldn't imagine using these as actual tissues, though e:f;b Yea, 99% iso is an industry standard. I kind of want to try deoxyIT and see how that works, but it's not like iso does a particularly bad job. If you're worried about deposits, just breathe on it after you've wiped, the condensation should be enough to evaporate what is left. vvv I'd like to personally apologize for being all 0.15% of AMD's losses last month, I was playing cake champions beta instead of steam titles vvv New Zealand can eat me fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 2, 2017 |

Paul MaudDib posted:No, actually that says that 2% more of the Passmark runs were done on AMD systems. Which isn't quite the same thing, especially when Ryzen has performance problems that need a lot of tweaking to tune up properly. They don't even dedupe down to actual unique users, it's literally "runs of the software". Run it five times, you go in 5 times. In that case, bad news for AMD:

Even if Ryzen becomes a huge success it will take time to build up momentum. Some of the pieces still aren't even released. Just look at the posters in this thread who won't even consider it until it's available in ITX form factor.

Depends on how far you want to overclock it. Kyle at Bitwit got his 1700 to 4 GHz with a Noctua cooler, but only to 3.9 GHz with the Spire.

To be fair, there is an enormous difference between 3.9 and 4ghz on Ryzen. 3.9 is pretty much the max clock speed the process can handle with any sort of efficiency and anything past starts seeing the chips suck down volts like it was a Polaris GPU.

Reading the original post would have worked instead of being an rear end in a top hat Transplant successful, dead one shipped back to Amazon along with the 4x8GB CL16-3200. They were pretty cool about returning it for full refund even though I missed the return cutoff by a few weeks. This board flashes back and forth between 0605 and 0609 without issue, I'm not sure why the other one died. It's still new enough to be at the early/high point of the bathtub curve, so maybe it just decided it was time to move on from this world? I've been seeing that some people have been having trouble getting their 2x16GB anything to clock over 2133 with the PRIME B350-PLUS (and most likely other boards), the "trick" to that is to figure out which slots correspond with each channel, and only use one stick per channel. If you try to use both sticks on the same channel it will have to use a 2T command rate. Going against what everyone generally tells you to do and using separate channels will allow the dual rank ram to run at 1T CR w/ slightly looser timings (Try 18-18-18-36 or even 40/42, work your way downwards). IE if slots 1-2 are A, and slots 3-4 are B, put them in slots 1-3 instead of 1-2 or 2-3. Higher ram/soc voltages shouldn't be needed, but are worth trying if you're desperate, as is disabling fast boot supposedly. I am solid at 2933 without any of those things using either 0605 or 0609. I don't really have a legitimate use for 64GB of ram yet, so I have no idea what happens if you stick another set in. These speeds might be something that aren't possible until we have single rank 16GB DDR4. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It was EdEddnEddy being snarked at for mentioning a potential fix to that guys problem. 1700 is awesome, especially for productivity, it's just not a super win over the Intel HEDT line like it was trumpeted as. It was a solid incremental improvement on the 5820K/6800K at more or less the same price (which is amazing given how terrible Bulldozer was, heil Keller), but not the second coming of Jesus or double the performance at the same price or any of the other poo poo that got said. It's a hammer and now everyone is looking for a nail to apply it to. But 6 Haswell cores at 3.8 GHz max overclock is not really all that fast, I had a faster 5820K a year ago at stock voltage for $330. I had hopes, and Ryzen v1.0 was a big wet fart. Also, Intel is literally launching 6C-12C Skylake HEDT chips within the next 3 months so... wait for edit: GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:But I'll wait for a respin and Asus ITX.

Naw I am used to that sort of customer response both from people that haven't a real clue as to what they are doing, (But hate the "Did you turn it off and on again?" question, that usually fixes the issue) to the ones that know what they are doing, but hey, I can't read minds through a forum or anything. On the Tech side of things though, I have a knack for bringing things back to life that appear dead to all others so I would have liked to have had a chance with that poor board, but I also can see that being this early in the new tech's lifecycle that something just borked itself between bios flashes. Glad you're up and going again.

What I'd really like is to get the ultimate 6c+ chip for consistent frametime. I wonder if the 6c skylake chips will change things there. (I have a 6600k at 4.5 ATM and kind of wish I'd gone 5820k instead now.)

I wonder if the 6c skylake chips will change things there. Like I said I paid $330 for my 5820K, $140 for a mobo, and $120 for 32 GB of DDR4-3000 a year ago, and I hit 4.13 GHz all-core at stock voltage so... for me Ryzen was a super wet fart. Having cores is super nice, and I'm glad the AMD folks have it too, but it wasn't really that much of a price drop. Even at Newegg, the 5820K only ever ran about $30 more than the 6700K or 7700K or other 4C8T i7s. It's not "half the price of a 6900K", it's the same price-to-performance as a 5820K was 2 years ago. I've actually been preaching the gospel of minimum frame-times since the G3258 days and the r/amd fanbois used to dump on me for that, until AMD kicked the FX to the curb (won in averages but lost in minimum frametimes) and Ryzen started underperforming in averages but winning in minimum frametimes.

If shorting out the CMOS reset pins doesn't work... what are you actually going to do? Thats the thing, if he borked whatever Bios bit was on the CPU, wouldn't that have made the CPU useless in whatever board he put it in after? That leaves something on the board with a bad flash, and with Asus board since the X79 at least, you can flash the bios with nothing more than a USB stick and power with no CPU, RAM, ETC plugged in. You also might only have 1 port that it works with (thats what my X79 has anyway) and a few weird button combos to get the process going even if the Manual sometimes states otherwise. The weirdest was my Acer W500 tablet. I had a UEFI install of Windows 10 on the Insider Preview builds installed, and forgot about it for a while. Turns out the OS expired to the point that it would not boot up at all, and because I was a dolt and left QuickBoot enabled making it technically impossible to get to the Bios screen no matter what I tried because for whatever reason, it disabled the Keyboard upon boot even with the SSD removed. About 3 hrs later I finally found some obscure post about how to force flash the bios with a specifically named bios file, button combo, and no visual indicator whatsoever. It worked and I have that tablet working like a champ today. Though that was the closest I think I have gotten to loosing a device to something that stupid. The one board that I did have die after a Bios mishap though was the old ASUS Striker II Formula Nvidia i780 which were known to just poo poo the bed randomly messing with the OC or flashing bioses. The i790 didn't have the same problem which was odd as hell.

Because some people want to use higher core/thread count CPUs for stuff where ECC makes sense (IE not gaming). Large file servers, virtual machine workstations, etc. I think a few people got excited that we might be getting an ECC platform that isn't associated to Server CPUs.

I think it'd be nice if people had options for new ECC home servers that didn't entail overpaying for aftermarket server-chipset motherboards or buying a microATX prebuilt from Dell/Lenovo/HP. I like my Poweredge T20 and all but I wish I could have gotten something with a standard ATX power supply and more drive bays for less than twice the cost.

There's really no technical argument against it, except that it's not currently binned for overclocking so using ECC would be marginally slower than using gaming memory. But usually even dual-channel has excessive amounts of memory throughput and quad-channel is like, gratuitous amounts, even at standard clocks. It's a useful feature that's used to artificially segment the market. I'm told that ZFS is actually no more susceptible to bit errors than any other filesystem. The argument is actually more like "if you care enough about your data to consider using ZFS then you should be using ECC regardless of what you end up using". Of course using slow-rear end ECC RAM would trash Ryzen's performance anyway given that inter-CCX communication is tied to the memory clocks. Really I guess that should have ended my interest in Ryzen server builds then and there. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 18:40 on May 5, 2017 |

The idea is that if you have bad ram that it will evaluate good data as being bad (Because it fails a checksum) and will then overwrite it, possibly with wrong data (because wrong data is evaluated as being good because of your dodgy ram). Not sure how correct it is but the FreeNas developers seems pretty adamant about not using non ECC ram with data you care about. ECC is something you have to pay a lot for on the intel side to get, a real chance for AMD to differentiate itself from the "safe" intel choice that you know is going to work with everything.

If you're only plunking around with a couple of TB worth of data, ECC memory isn't going to make much of a difference. When you start getting into arrays that are 32TB+ in size and moving around a LOT of data each and every day, ECC memory becomes something very nice to have. code: I don't run ECC here, but I probably should.

Obviously not bad and something to have if you can have it at the same price, (Which is far more possible now than it used to be), but for whatever we're piling on home NASes it's nothing remotely critical that will nuke your data sooner and not later.
