Wirth1000 posted:How many linux distros does one person need?! Haha, legitimately I personally spent half an evening downloading a poo poo tonne of Linux ISOs to try out recent distros and see what those crazy free range kids are up to. It's actually the only use my torrent client has gotten in a long, long time. So sometimes it is Linux! Oh also my question. What's the hubbub about TR4? AMD has promised AM4 will be several generations but I haven't seen squat on TR4. What's the official word? Not that I can afford it, I'm just curious as to why they'd tout the longevity of one and have zip on the other.

 My system, wonderfully crowded as it should be.  I have no complaints about the reliability or performance of the system, which is indeed great, but it seems that in 2017 you just can't build a system without a bunch of "bling bling" LEDs. I obviously "have a problem" with bling bling - and I'd very much like if I could turn off the lights on my 1080 and RAM sticks.

Building a new system (i7-3770K to Ryzen 7 1700) and I'm prepping my flash drive with motherboard drivers for the ASRock X370 Taichi. Does anyone happen to know what's in their "AMD all in 1 driver"? It's dated for February so I'm assuming whatever is on there is way out of date anyway.

I run an X399, I haven't installed any drivers from Asrock. Win10 has everything needed on board. I don't think the X370 will be that different.

Yeah, I'm on it now and there was nothing missing in device manager, didn't need them after all. All good though. 1700 is running really nice and cool.

3peat posted:I finally managed to upgrade to Ryzen 1600 I don't know if you've heard already, but those Raijintek cases have a huge problem with airflow. The PSU fan and exhaust fan both pull air away from the CPU. If you flip that exhaust you'll get cool air pulled in over your cpu, and maybe you pick up a magnetic dust filter and slap it on there. You can also open up your psu and flip the fan, but that voids your psu warrantee.

I think historically (well since the late 90's) speaking nearly every time we've had these simultaneous and dramatic DRAM price increases someone always gets busted for price fixing, gets a tap on the wrist, and prices go back down to sane levels for a couple of years or so before it all starts again.

If anyone ever comes across actual evidence of foul play, the European Commission on Competition are really good at responding to reports fwiw. A fun way to learn a little about how things work, as long as you're not the kind of person to start a petition because a videogame had a girl in it or something. ufarn fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Dec 31, 2017 |

Chipset drivers I always get as a matter of habit plus I wanted to take advantage of their customized power plan. Audio driver I ended getting out of necessity since I was having issues with audio not playing during rendered cut scenes in the Witcher 3 and installed them during troubleshooting.

This is interesting, though it's speculative and the technical details are way over my head: work is furiously but quietly underway to fix a hardware bug manifesting in vulnerability to a privilege escalation attack. The software fix involves a 5-30% performance penalty. All current Intel CPUs are affected. AMD processors are not affected. Better details and discussion in the Intel thread (as is appropriate) but the implications in AMD land are interesting. NIGARS fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jan 3, 2018 |

I can't see this doing anything to Intel in any actuality. I think of the FDIV bug recall, and they still made out like bandits that year. Also, how badly do you want to kick Intel when you're partnering with them for the 8809G?

It isn't a company ending gently caress up for Intel, but it hurts them badly. Losing performance and having a huge security problem sure isn't going to help them. If EPYC can actually "For REALZ" launch AMD could easily pick up some volume from companies looking to make hedge their bets.

A 5-30% performance hit probably puts their IPC right back at Broadwell/Ryzen levels, doesn’t it? Zen+ might close up the gap by a lot more than expected just by virtue of getting clocks up.

Wondering where the EPYC benchmarks are for comparison's sake, seeing as how, according to what Wiggly Wayne quoted, both Intel and AMD platforms are subject to the same workaround anyways. Also, since I missed this article over New Year's: KVM Smokes VirtualBox On Initial AMD EPYC Linux Tests Thank god that KVM stub implementation bug finally got squashed.
