Seamonster posted:ehhhh no 5000 series for DDR5? booo I have an incredibly hard time believing that AMD of all people would pass up a chance to use the 5000 series for a 5nm CPU that will use socket AM5 and introduce support for DDR5 and PCI-E 5 just to make their naming scheme slightly less confusing. Edit: I'd be more inclined to believe they'll skip "Zen 4" or use it for what is presumably the Zen 3 refresh in Warhol than they'll use Ryzen 5000 for Zen 3.

I think they already screwed up by having Zen+ be the Ryzen 2000 series, then compounded the error by having the Ryzen 4000 series be Zen 2 plus newer iGPU. At this point I think their only hope is to go to an entirely emoji-based naming structure.

Having some random reboot issues (no BSOD just cuts to BIOS, it's set to power loss stay off so something is crashing). Was happening pretty consistently at the 4-5 minute mark until I overvolted the NB/ SoC, it's currently about 22-25 minutes stable at 1.2125v which seems rather high (stock is 1.0v isn't it?) Doesn't matter what I'm doing it'll do this even in BIOS if I sit in it. Thermals and voltages all will look normal before the crash in HWinfo in windows, and in BIOS. I'm leaning towards my motherboard is hosed up and to RMA it, but want to sanity check before opening an RMA. I've tested with known goods for everything but another AM4 CPU. 3700x B450 Tomahawk RX 5700. This system is over a year old, everything was purchased the day the 3700x came out except the 5700 which was the day that came out. Everything is currently running stock except NB / SoC including my RAM at a slow 2133 (I've had it running up at 3800 / 3666 mostly). I haven't had a failed Motherboard or CPU before so really could this be the CPU, or is this the motherboard? I'd also like to try a different BIOS revision but MSI's downloads are all down (again).

pixaal posted:Having some random reboot issues (no BSOD just cuts to BIOS, it's set to power loss stay off so something is crashing). a) Done a hard cmos reset of the bios? b) Tried just one ram stick at a time to see if the ram might be at fault? Overvolting the SoC is also the memory controller. c) If you have a spare PSU or can borrow one from someone, I'd try that before RMAing component by component until you hit the broken one. Mystery hard reset can be a PSU thing even when you have the board set to stay off on power loss, because what's happening isn't really a power loss. The PSU may be fine, but it's easy to swap them out to test.

I tried 1 stick of RAM at a time with each of the 4 and my old psu. Only thing I can't check is mn and cpu. I really shouldn't have to gently caress with voltages to get this to boot, hwinfo says I'm getting the voltages I request. It's an infuriating problem due to the wait for the crash.

I noticed yesterday that DDR4 prices had seriously dropped, so ordered an extra pair of sticks at half the price I paid for the original. Plus somehow my cheap 5 day delivery got delivered next-day. So now my 1700/B350 build is running 32GB. Considering when I first built it I had a lot of issues with memory training and failed boots, I was expecting some sort of fiddling required when going fully populated. But it just booted straight up and carried on without a hint of trouble. I haven't stress tested it yet, so I've probably just jinxed myself.

Have you updated your BIOS since you built? RAM training has improved pretty significantly.

I upgraded the bios quite a few times in the first couple of years and that did more of less get rid of the issues. But there was still voice in the back of the brain saying 'trouble ahead'. Mostly I wanted it so I could run some VMs without them getting in the way of my usual stuff. When I finally upgrade my Linux PC, 64GB might even be on the cards. Which seems crazy.

I wanted to go with 64GB of my 3700x, went with 32GB (which I had on my 2500k). It was just way too expensive and at the time there wasn't anything other than 3200CL18 for 16GB sticks in stock. I ended up spending less on my 3600CL17. It really is not hard to use tons of RAM especially if you get into multi boxing an android game using emulators or an MMO.

I just like being one step ahead of what the conventional wisdom says a build should have. When 8GB was considered what a gaming build should have I went with 16GB, and on my build from this year I went with 32GB. It is sometimes weird to think I currently have more RAM space available than the size of hard drives I used not that long ago.

I have a server at work with 512GB of RAM (not that impressive) if you want to think about how that's as much space as most harddrives being shipped since everything seems to come with a 500GB SSD now.

I suppose we've always maintained those... proportions? Back when consumer PCs shipped with 16-32MB of RAM and a 2GB hard drive, a big, expensive server might have had about 2GB of RAM.

My dad bought a 1 meg RAM upgrade for our Laser 128EX (an Apple IIC clone) for $1000. He was told you could "write thousands of pages and not have to worry about it." He was not then nor is he now a writer. I blame the dude who conned him into it, but even he was just like, trying to eat or whatever.

In the novelization of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, two of the Genesis scientists had a video game that they could only run in the Genesis core memory because of its size. That unheard of size that caused David Marcus to exclaim "the program that swallowed Saturn." 50mb. Technically it was just written as "50 megs" so it could be some future measurement, but you know at the time that wasn't what they were going for. Statutory Ape posted:killer rig bro u will never run out of space I had the expansion chassis and managed to get a VGA card in the thing. 256 colors on an external monitor!

I don't think I've ever seen computers in fiction be anywhere near as powerful as they should be unless they don't really specify. They always forget to Moore's law which isn't perfect but c'mon it should get you a ballpark number and current computers shouldn't be able to catch up until the fictional date you are in.
