As others have said, the batteries will be toast.
Sealed Lead Acid batteries as used in UPS units die two ways (outside of a catastrophic mechanical failure anyway).
A) Sulfation. If the cells are left under charged the lead sulfate that develops on the plates slowly turns into a much harder...
It adds the CBS menu which exposes all the AGESA tweaks that the RoG boards and other manufacturers boards already have. Some of the settings should help with overclocking the CPU and/or RAM if you are that way inclined.
I went through this a few years ago for AutoCAD and Revit. I'm still using an overclocked i7-3770K. I started out with a 3570K but got a measurable improvement with the extra cache of the 3770 for *my* specific use case. Disabled Hyper-Threading as that gave me a whisker of extra speed too.
My...
Were you expecting me to say it's terrible news that the test is invalid and Epyc isn't affected? I think it's great that Epyc does not suffer from this issue (or at least the samples that were tested).
Epyc is stepping B2, Ryzen (and reportedly Threadripper) is/are B1. This just helps with...
That is brilliant news frankly. Now all we need is some significant testing on Threadripper and we'll be able to get an idea if it is an early stepping issue (B1 vs B2) or something specific in the Ryzen implementation. Given some of the guys on the AMD forum have had 3 different sets of results...
What about long running processes? I've had normal processes die with less than 6 weeks of uptime. Like anything lots of load brings it on faster, but a normal system running a couple of VMs and some native daemons like CUPS(which I ordinarily reboot maybe once a year for a kernel upgrade)...
This is getting OT for this thread. If you're cool using an unreliable processor (you ran the test, it failed, your machine is affected) then have at it. You'll probably see random processes die at random times so infrequently that you'll put it down to something else. How many people got random...
This is a terribly annoying bug that does not seem to affect general day to day use if you run Windows. It does however cause issues if you compile large codebases or perform frequent compilations (which is the sort of use case you might imagine a Threadripper used for). There are a number of...
It's available for pre-order from my local retailer, but having been burned with Ryzen being unable to compile a large codebase without crashing, I'm not likely to plonk $2100 down for a sTR4 & Motherboard just to get another buggy cpu. C'mon AMD, fix the damn bug!
Sorry, by "easy to reproduce" I should have made clear that I hit it about 10 times a day (at least) on a staging system that I'm really like to put into production. AGESA upgrade made zero difference and I shouldn't have to fart around with different version compilers or options that my UEFI...
This just keeps dragging on. Easy to reproduce fault, radio silence from AMD. I just want to swap my old FX-8350 for an 1800X, but I keep bumping into this rotten segfault.
As amusing as it is to joke about, it's a fantastic indicator of how far we've come in the time I've been playing (and I only got my first computer in 1983. I skipped the whole paper tape and punch card bit). To think I had a shoe box of 5.25" single sided floppies that were alphabetized and...
Until you take your business laptop home, or to a hotel, or a conference, or coffee shop....
I'm more thinking about all the poorly set up servers out there sitting in closets inside small to medium sized businesses set up by well meaning IT shops that have this stuff enabled for "ease of...
I have several VMs created back in 2012 on a Bulldozer. Transferred a 32bit XM VM onto the 1800X and ran up the old 16 bit "Chips Challenge" exe and it ran up fine.
I'm using KVM on Linux. I've been hammering a Windows 8.1 64bit VM running CCTV software for a week or so. Again, originally...
