  1. Question Is PrimoCache worth it?

    My board has a 4x PCIe slot that the HBA is connected to. 4x of PCIe 2.0 is 20 GT/s which is plenty for 2 SATA drives and an optical drive.
  2. Question Is PrimoCache worth it?

    Man, I can't believe this thread is still around; I don't even have that SSD anymore. My bulk storage for pretty much everything back then was on nearline enterprise HDDs. Nowadays, I have a 16TB HDD (before the madness!) that is used only for media files and documents. Everything else is on...
  3. Question Anyone have experience or advice on overclocking a Q6600?

    It's really disappointing seeing all these nay-sayers. The Q6600 was and is a great chip to OC. As mentioned earlier, you'll need to bump the FSB up to OC. Default FSB clock is 266MHz (1066MT/s) and the easiest OC is to just bump that to 333MHz (1333MT/s) while leaving the multiplier alone...
  4. Question GeForce GT 730 can POST but not boot anything

    So I figured it out. DisplayPort was/is the problem. For whatever reason the card does not like newer DP monitors and it worked as soon as I used a passive DP to DVI adapter. I remember a few years back there being a firmware update for Maxwell and Pascal GPUs for the same issue. Was there ever...
  5. Question GeForce GT 730 can POST but not boot anything

    System does indeed POST with the usual single beep. I can get into the BIOS configuration and it all works, but as soon as I try to boot anything, regardless of OS or media, the system gets stuck at a blank screen. I should also mention this is all happening via DisplayPort which I know can be...
  6. Question GeForce GT 730 can POST but not boot anything

    I Just installed a low profile Lenovo GK208-based GeForce GT 730 in a Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard and the system POSTs but once it tries to boot from literally anything, it gets stuck at a blank screen. I can turn the system off normally; no hard shutdown required. But the system will not boot...
  7. Question Come to mock me, stay to give me advice... New Question, w/Pic

    Honestly, you might just be better of parting the darn thing out. I usually see greater profit that way.
  8. Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

    NVIDIA is historically good at keeping their GPUs fed. I expect a lot of L2 cache on these GPUs.
  9. Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

    "2x FP32" is interesting. Would like to get some details from Ryan on what's going on there. Perhaps each CUDA core is a superscaler dual pipelined core now? If so, it's a bit disingenuous to just double the CUDA core numbers. I would be actually surprised if "2x FP32" means two separate CUDA...
  10. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    Update and resolution: Just got my 3800X in and it's completely stable and runs 100mv lower at stock on top of running at higher clocks than my 3700X. I got sold probably the worst CPU bin in history; I'm at a loss of words on this one. I've never had a CPU not able to perform to specs like...
  11. Question ARMv8 vs. x86 ISA comparison - is x86 outdated?

    Any comparisons with PowerPC, SPARC, or MIPS?
  12. Discussion Core2Quad performance in more recentish games vs Bloomfield

    Please fix the scaling on those graphs; in particular vermintide 2 and hitman 2 are very misleading. Some of these graphs can lead the viewer to get the wrong idea when in fact the performance is the same (within margin of error). The CPU is bottlenecking pretty hard in some newer games but...
  13. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    I would not be using any fakeRAID drivers if I were you. Try out Windows storage spaces; I'm using it right now with two 6TB SAS HDDs in a mirror and performance is pretty good and it's portable.
  14. Discussion Core2Quad performance in more recentish games vs Bloomfield

    Honestly I'm not sure it's the lack of IMC. If we look at K10, the performance is similar I believe to Core 2 in games if not slightly slower. K10 also lacks SSSE3 and SSE4.1 which has prevented some more recent games from even running at all because they take advantage of SSSE3 and sometimes...
  15. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    That was one of the first things I did. I also bought this chip at launch.
  16. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    I've used and updated to every driver revision available to zen 2. I also tried the different power plans; same results.
  17. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    Was running this CPU on both an MSI and ASUS board too.
  18. Question Ryzen hidden Offset Voltage 0.05V Problem in BIOS & CPU & DRAM & SoC

    ごめんなさい、ちょっと難しいわかりました。 What software are you using to monitor voltages? try using HWinfo64.
  19. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    Temps are fine (cooler is a noctua U12). I started an RMA with AMD so we'll see what happens. It's just highly unusual after at least a hundred installs over the years I've never had a CPU do anything like this.
  20. Question Prime95 29.8 keeps failing Large FFT

    I'm going to link to my follow up thread for some new findings. http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/ryzen-3700x-unstable-low-thread-boost-clocks-at-stock.2579604/
  21. Question Ryzen 3700X unstable low thread boost clocks at stock

    As the title says for loads under 4 threads the CPU is not stable. I've been having highly random crashes for months now with this CPU and after going through different motherboards and RAM I've come to the conclusion after testing with memtest and prime95 that the CPU is not working as it...
  22. iPhone SE

    Anybody think this phone is a good step from an Xperia XZ2 Compact? I hate large phones and buy the xperias because they are the only small phones left; however this new iPhone has me interested. I'm just not sure it's worth the switch. Android can be a pain in the neck sometimes but it lets me...
  23. Question Prime95 29.8 keeps failing Large FFT

    I've run memtest overnight and no issues. Did some more fiddling and prime95 only fails (really quickly too, within minutes) when running with 3 threads or lower. I can run it just fine with 4 or more threads. I also tested with Intel burn test for a few hours on 2 threads set to 16GiB of RAM...
  24. Question Prime95 29.8 keeps failing Large FFT

    Trying to test my RAM as I've been getting some BSODs lately and the farthest I can get is test 2 and then it fails with "rounding was x, expected less than 0.4". I rolled back the RAM (https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/bls2k16g4d32aese) to 2400MT/s and all timings to auto and 2T but Prime95...
  25. Discussion Reduced SATA performance on X570?

    I was curious, so I did I comparison with my 4TB 860 evo connected to X570 SATA and my LSI 9212i (SAS2 2008 Falcon) HBA with IT firmware. The HBA does not have DRAM cache onboard and with IT firmware acts only as an HBA (no RAID). One thing I noticed with the HBA is that CPU usage was MUCH lower...
  26. Question Show and tell: Your all time favorite gpu?

    It's got to be my old GeForce GTX 260"+". Had the EVGA 55nm 216 shader version and that card was an absolute beast for the price I got it for. Overclocked from 576MHz to ~750MHz core and some ridiculous number on the shaders (~1.9Ghz I think); It was tied with the 4890 and later 5830 from what...
  27. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Currently I'm seeing if tFAW at 24 will prove stable. Termination Impedances are all on auto and so are the tertiary timings. V2 basically raises tRCDRD to 20 and tightens the other primaries to 16. I read that tRCDRD needs to be rather loose on these ICs; I figured 18 was loose as it is at...
  28. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    As stated in my OP, I'm using the calculator. It doesn't seem particularly suited to this Micron RAM though.
  29. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    XMP for me is 3,200 16-18-18. You might have the newer 16nm stuff or maybe something else.
  30. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    Does anybody have any experience with Micron 19nm "E-die" RAM on Zen 2? I'm trying to run 2x16GiB @ 3,400MT/s using timings from the DRAM calculator but I'm getting random crashes every once and a while. I'm not sure where to start on trying to stabilize this RAM. I've tried raising voltage but...
  31. Question what was your first legit video card?

    GeForce 8500 GT 512MB. Got it super cheap on eBay because the fan was busted. Not a great card, but it was much faster than the 6150 LE onboard that my nForce 4 board had.
  32. ITX build: Choosing an AM4 B450 board - what's your experience in terms of reliability?

    I currently use the ASRock B450 fatality board and in the past used the Gigabyte ITX one. I prefer the ASRock for a few reasons. It has a better firmware interface, better RAM support, a PS/2 port, and compared to the MSI board it has an Intel NIC. The only thing that I can complain about with...
  33. What is going on? Im reading WAY too many people with idle freeze problems with 1st gen Ryzens

    No lockups so far. Looks like C-states are bugged right now (at least for this board). Easiest way to verify whether it's stable or not is to just open HWinfo64. With global C-states enabled, HWinfo64 will crash/close within a minute. This has got to be the buggiest platform I've ever dealt...
  34. What is going on? Im reading WAY too many people with idle freeze problems with 1st gen Ryzens

    Crashed again! Disabled global C-state control and we'll see what happens. One thing I noticed, and this just started very recently, but HWinfo64 crashes very consistently now with just being open. So far with global C-state control disabled HWinfo64 does not crash...
  35. Getting RAM to ran at 3200MT/s on Ryzen 3700X

    It's not over yet!!! It seems it came back and it might be because of Windows updates and some CPU C-state non-sense. Link to discussion: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/what-is-going-on-im-reading-way-too-many-people-with-idle-freeze-problems-with-1st-gen-ryzens.2562813/
  36. What is going on? Im reading WAY too many people with idle freeze problems with 1st gen Ryzens

    This issue has been PLAGUING me for days now. I'm running an ASRock B450 ITX board and Ryzen 3700X. Latest firmware (3.50) too. No matter what I do my system will randomly freeze on idle. I tried setting common current idle to enabled, but no dice. I'm testing if using the Ryzen high performance...
  37. Getting RAM to ran at 3200MT/s on Ryzen 3700X

    I think I found the cause! Eco-mode; this is a feature that enforces a 45W TDP limit on the CPU. I turned it off right after the original post and haven't had a crash since.
  38. Getting RAM to ran at 3200MT/s on Ryzen 3700X

    For some reason I cannot get my RAM (2x16GiB dual ranked Micron E die) to run at 3,200MT/s on my ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard (latest firmware). I've tried everything; but every time I think it's stable one of two things happens, some random program will crash or the system...
  39. AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

    If you guys are trying to test your RAM I suggest using Google's stressapptest. It's a terminal *nix program but you can easily run it on Windows via Linux on Windows. I find it works better and is more flexible than memtest and other methods. Instructions are in the link (GitHub) and I can give...
  40. Ryzen 3000 event 17 WHEA errors

    That is absolutely ridiculous. Glad I didn't try to go and play destiny 2 yet; I would've been furious to find out that way. How could something that obvious be missed and on such a popular game!?!? Did anybody do any QA on these things?
