I thought 1394a tended to be a bit faster than USB 2.0 after all the overhead was taken into account. Apple used to hype it more. 1394 has been upgraded from the 400mbps version to 800, which doesn't seem to have caught on anywhere else except for Apple hardware, while USB has had two major revisions. I also recall that most of the USB overhead was on the processor, which has gotten exponentially faster. Add better drivers and wider adoption, and USB2 has definitely matured.

The USB2/FW results in the graph are pathetically low. If you benchmark them yourself you'll get around 32MB/sec on USB2 and 40MB/sec on FW400. That's 256/480Mbit and 320/400Mbit respectively. FW400 is so much more efficient it significantly outperforms USB2 even though it has lower theoretical bandwidth.

Hmm, has anyone put out a H67-based board with the following? - PCIe lanes from CPU broken out to 2 x8 electrical slots - implementing Intel PHY for integrated ethernet controller - 1 or 2 PCIe x1 slots (brownie points if they do a x4 electrical slot with ganged lanes from the chipset) This would be basically perfect for me for a server upgrade in the future. (running a i5-2500S, or i7-2600 if I really want extra threads). Integrated video, and 2 x8 electrical slots to support two LSI 1068E or LSI 2008 based controllers, with motherboard SATA ports to throw at the rest of the disks. Extra PCIe slots can be populated with more ethernet cards (or the x4 with a quad-port NIC) when I get a switch that can do LACP and such. I suppose 3 x8 slots would be even better, but I'd need to go back to a X58 board for that, I suppose (and even then, I'd still need my PCI video card). I'm waiting for Z68, aren't I?

Spatial posted:FW400 is so much more efficient it significantly outperforms USB2 even though it has lower theoretical bandwidth. But while faster and lower in CPU utilisation, it really doesn't *significantly* outperform USB2, and often in some cases like HDTach benchmarks, can end up slower on writes and about the same on reads. But yeah, no idea why HardOCP's benchmark was *that* low. vvv: Agreed, it's just that USB implementations seems to be more better in the PC world, no doubt boosted by the fact it's on the chipset. frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Feb 14, 2011 |

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Everything comes down to implementation. It's no different on USB2. Unless it's got an Oxford controller, most enclosures use garbage JMicron adapters with absolute poo poo performance. It's honestly more effort for the engineers of those devices too. JMicron datasheets are awful compared to what you can get from Silicon Image or others. Then again, they are dirt cheap  I don't mind TI and LSI Firewire controllers (from a EE standpoint), VIA can go get bent.

You just have to look at the numbers. They were on sale for what like four weeks and they made 8 million of them? that's well over a million units and I'm sure they were looking at it under common users, not early adopters who will likely run it full blast for hours on end.

I just wasn't expecting failure in literally 30 days (I ordered parts on 1/9, system went online 1/16 roughly). I was doing rough 100MB/s from local system drives across the network to my NAS for hours at a time.Side-effects: had to reset CMOS and play the cold boot game to get system to POST again. OCing suffered as well, I had to increase Vcore by .1V to regain stability. Marvell drivers have already blue-screened three times with RDS_FILE_SYSTEM (Stop 0x00000027), so that is pretty irritating as well. This is a question more suited for the Packrats/NAS thread, but any suggestions for cheap PCIe RAID controller? Got a lot of spare 1.5TB drives from my NAS upgrade, so thinking about maxing out drives in my case by doing 2 RAID 1s of 'em. Thinking Highpoint perhaps... movax fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Feb 18, 2011 |

Recently been some hubbub about getting Dell Perc5/i or 6/i controllers off of eBay, though that was intended for a corporate FrankenNAS. There is no set recommendation south of ~$400 AFAIK, since the thread shies away from FakeRAID. Pure software or pure hardware in that thread.

Yeah, I suggested a PERC 5 to a guy in the NAS thread, definitely overkill in my case. I was just thinking RAID would be nice, I'm a-ok with just JBOD'ing some spare drives. Maybe I'll do Intel RAID once my replacement P8P67 arrives.

SATA add-in cards seem to almost universally get terrible reviews until you get to about $130, at which point you might as well buy a PERC.

Factory Factory posted:Derp, hi I read your posts Just be aware that a perc can't present individual drives, it has to be a raid. If you want individual drives you need to create a 1 drive raid 0 on each and use that. Not a huge problem unless you're running something like zfs which wants raw drives to work best.

Yeah, mine has been showing problems since week 2. I just unplugged the drives I was using in the broken ports and when I need them, I'll switch drives around I guess. Such a pain but I don't want to buy a sata card I'll literally never use again after April.

I'm curious, for those of us with only one or two drives who are looking to upgrade, is there anywhere that's still selling the 'faulty' motherboards? I really don't care about the fact that I'll only have two ports instead of six.. I'd never use the latter :P

And the recall should still be available to buyers, so you should have little trouble getting a return done as it applies, should you need it.

The good thing about the 212 is that you can move the fan up a little bit if the fan is blocking the RAM slots. I have a GA-P67A-UD3, which also puts the CPU socket close to the RAM slots, and my 212 works fine after a little fan position adjustment.

On my Pro with a Hyper 212+, it only blocks the first DIMM slot (A1) for huge-heatspreader RAM, and even then a centimeter may fit (if you take off the cooler to install it). The LE has a little extra clearance compared to the Pro, so there may not be any interference or limitations at all.

Just letting anyone that cares to listen know; The heatsink that comes with the i7 2600K is absolute garbage. It it smaller than the old Pentium 3 coolers and at stock speeds (3.8ghz turbo) with Prime95 running 8 threads it instantly starts to throttle because of temps (98C !?!). Buying a cooler with an i7 is a complete must if you don't want it running at 200+F during high loads.

I reseated it three times (first time was with the stock goo, second with AS3, third with ASC) and got the same results every time. Installed a new (huge) cooler master cooler and now it idles at 22C and never gets above 70c at 4.2ghz. Maybe a bad heatsink? I dunno.

glitch77 posted:Just letting anyone that cares to listen know; Something is definitely wrong, you can hit 4.4GHz or so and still be within thermal spec with the stock cooler. Like R1CH said, maybe broken pushpins. Your load temps are way too high as well, especially if your idle is 22C. I idle at 32C and load at 65C at 4.8GHz. Having that large of a delta between idle and load is a sign of improper/"Weird" HSF installation.

So if you're looking to upgrade with an intel cpu about now, do you just have to wait untill april or can you just buy a motherboard now and get it replaced if and when problems arise? Also if you do wait untill april what would be the next greatest thing around the corner, and would it be worth waiting for it if you've already waited a month and a half?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but if you've bought or are planning to buy a Sandy Bridge CPU then I think you've got the following options: - Attempt to find a "bad" P67 or H67 motherboard now and don't use the SATA II (3.0 Gbit/sec) ports (or use them at your own risk) and eventually get it replaced (or not) - Wait for the fixed P67 (which allows overclocking but does NOT allow use of the CPU's graphics) or the fixed H67 (which does NOT allow overclocking but allows use of the CPU's graphics) motherboards to come out in allegedly April - Wait for the Z68 motherboards to come out in allegedly Q2 of this year (which allows overclocking AND the use of CPU's graphics) olaf2022 fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Feb 22, 2011 |
