Question Problem with Be Quiet Silent Wings Pro 4 120mm

The only pin difference between 3 and 4 pin fans is the presence of the 4th PWM pin. The shared pins are ground, 12v/5v, and tachometer (senses RPMs). When a fan controller is connected to a 3 pin fan the controller will vary the voltage between 5v and 12v to get to the commanded RPM. Using...

Question SSD and 10GbE throughput of Gigabyte Z390 Xtreme

Looking at the Realtek chipset fact sheet, jumbo frames up to 16k are supported. Try downloading Realtek's drivers? https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software At the bottom there is a Mac OS download link.

Question SSD and 10GbE throughput of Gigabyte Z390 Xtreme

It seems like you've done everything right. For the 2 minute transfer (waaaay slower than 1Gbps), was the transfer rate consistent across that time? Looking at the customer reviews for your 2.5GbE adapter, you aren't the only one having trouble with consistency. Someone mentioned installing a...

Question SSD and 10GbE throughput of Gigabyte Z390 Xtreme

Please confirm you used that correct "B" there at the end. 1GB/s (byte) translates to 8Gb/s (bit). Exceeding the 2.5Gb rating of that adapter. Also confirm what kind of transfer this is. Is it a lot of small files? Or very large files?

Question SSD and 10GbE throughput of Gigabyte Z390 Xtreme

Most people using higher speed networking would connect via a switch capable of those higher speeds. But direct connections between PCs (and I think Macs) is possible. If this is what you have done, but are still seeing 1Gb/s speeds, its possible that the ethernet cable you are using is not up...

Question SSD and 10GbE throughput of Gigabyte Z390 Xtreme

What kind of switch or router are you using? It doesn't matter that the adapters and NICs are rated for 2.5GbE or 10GbE if the switch/router they are connected to is only capable of 1GbE. Based on what you've said, it sounds like you have a 1GbE capable switch/router. In regards to the...

Question UPS replacement battery only lasted 2.5 yrs?

I was thinking a bit more, particularly about when I was a teen thru early 20's living at my parent's house. I'm just speculating here, but does mains power quality affect the life span of a UPS's battery? And/or the frequency it falls back to the battery? The power at my parent's house is...

Question UPS replacement battery only lasted 2.5 yrs?

I feel like 2.5 years is quite short. I admit I'm not good about remembering to test my 3 Cyberpower UPS's as often as I should. But when I do remember they all pass their self test. One has a 3 year old battery (the UPS itself is 13 years old) and the other two have their OG batteries from 9...

Keyloggers

Beelink makes mini PCs that are sometimes on sale for under $150. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZLF6HP6 But you know what else is usually under $150? The majority of small Chromebooks. If you've never used Chrome OS before, out of the box it is literally just a Chrome browser and nothing else...

Keyloggers

First, even if the VM doesn't get infected the host PC is infected and anything you type will be logged since the keyboard is connected to the host PC. But, to answer your question, it depends on a couple things. What virtualization/memory isolation features your CPU has. And how...

Question Testing a sata drive bay

I have a hard time believing that two drives would fail in the same bay. It might be worth connecting those "bad" drives directly to your computer to double check that they are actually bad. With a different SATA cable. It is possible that the SATA cable for that bay has gone bad. I had...

Question PC not booting/Doesnt POST/Blackscreen unless CMOS is reset in which case it only boots into BIOS

Since the Ryzen 1600 isn't explicitly on the compatibility list, I'm thinking that is what is going on.

Question Binning and Yields question

Currently, I would say it would remain constant, within a margin of error. The raw wafer, sure, is uniform. But, post lithography, the outer regions are less perfect since they are off axis from the UV/EUV source. But, you are correct that Intel doesn't use the same dies across product lines...

Question PC not booting/Doesnt POST/Blackscreen unless CMOS is reset in which case it only boots into BIOS

Might as well try version 2006. But I'm also wondering if simply reflashing the latest version would have worked just as well.
