    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    I'm just gonna wait until the final series of CPUs for the socket because there's no point in "upgrading" to another CPU on the same socket. You are just spending more money and buying more stuff unnecessarily. AM4 is not a slouch. Might as well just wait until the end of AM5 then you'll have...

    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    As some one who bought the 3950X only to upgrade to 5950X a year later, I'm not going for any early-cycle flagships anymore. Gonna wait until the final form of AM5 (9950X3D ??) before jumping in

    After months, I just tried Folding@Home, and it's desolate.

    Yeah this is important to keep in mind. These usually aren't commercial servers & services, sometimes they're just a tower in the corner of a professor's office. There have been months long outages in the past for various projects due to things as simple as a single HDD failure.

    After months, I just tried Folding@Home, and it's desolate.

    I had a similar experience. I built a dual GPU system earlier this year with the intention of using it for BOINC, but by about August the GPU jobs started drying up and only came back infrequently. Not sure what the exact situation is with F@H but it's not reliable enough to keep my workstation...

    Question $80 new budget CPU king?

    at the <$80 price point, if "bang for your buck" is the goal I dont think its worth buying new, scrounge up something on eBay, I recently got a Ryzen Pro 4350G for $80 and it seems like a pretty good contender

    Question Anyone burn out Ryzen CPU's PCI-E lanes?

    you need to reduce the process priority (`nice` level in Linux) on the mining so that your other processes e.g. browsing dont get throttled by the mining. This will eliminate "bog down" on pretty much all CPU's regardless of their age or performance.

    News AMD releases yet another AM4 CPU: the Ryzen 3 5100

    if you are going to dip that low its not even worth getting them new at retail, you might as well start digging around eBay. Recently got a 3200G for $40 and a 4350G Pro for $80

    Question Block CNN.com and CNN mobile iOS app video ads

    Yes my experience was there iOS Safari does have some blockers (iirc this is a semi recent development since iirc Apple previously didn't even have plugins and/or allowed blocking for security reasons) but then you are stuck using only Safari. Personally, I'm pretty embedded with the Firefox...

    Question Block CNN.com and CNN mobile iOS app video ads

    This actually does not work. iOS app store has a restriction that all web browsers must use the Safari browser engine, so all browsers on iOS are just re-skinned Safari. Thus, there is indeed a firefox app for iOS, but it's not the same Firefox as you would run on macOS, Windows, Linux, or...

    some updated commentary here https://www.tomshardware.com/news/corsairs-192gb-ddr5-ram-kit-arrives-for-dollar730 seems like there are Intel configuations already confirmed working with the new high density memory modules. Might have to wait longer to get confirmation on various AMD configurations.

    Question 5g speedtest what does it mean and why is fast.com download so slow compared to ookla download ?

    This. This is actually why I prefer to use fast.com so much; since its hosted by Netflix, its meant to reflect the speeds you would see if you were trying to access Netflix, which is a prime target by ISP's for throttling. Call me paranoid, but if they are gonna throttle Netflix, then I would...

    Question Does anyone make a 16TB consumer 2.5" SSD?

    It's not about speed, obviously if you're using SATA, it's about the expansion capabilities of your system. 4x4TB SATA drives requires four available SATA ports, and then a software layer to make it into a single volume .

    Question Does anyone make a 16TB consumer 2.5" SSD?

    Yea it depends on what you are trying to plug the drives into and what you desired device config looks like I have been looking for 16TB+ SATA SSD's for a while now as a drop-in replacement for HDD's in my NAS/DAS file server, since I only have SATA available but if you are adding storage...

    Review Zen4 3D review thread

    not sure what you mean, I dont care about price, dont actually even care about timings and speed either, I am trying to get the most CPU cores and memory into a small desktop package like mITX, and 2x48GB gives a lot more memory than 2x32GB (which I already have)

    Question Need Highly dust resistant PC Case

    I am not clear what the OP means by "dust resistant" and having to "clean" the case. I would regard a "dust resisitant" case as one that prevents dust from entering the case, which would necessitate trapping the dust somewhere that will inevitably need to be cleaned. Its not like you are gonna...

    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    now that the 7950X3D has launched, is that the end of the road for updates to consumer desktop Zen 4? And is it clear yet what kind of spec increases are on the horizon for Zen 5? I am looking for ways to fit the most capacity (CPU cores + memory) in a small form factor (mITX), and it seems like...

    Question Very basic Question about 32 vs 64 GB RAM

    This sounds like a bunch of hand-waving nonsense. What the heck is that even supposed to mean, that some CPU "likes" or "doesn't like" some memory configuration? Either it works or it doesn't. Excessively high memory clock speeds have always been a niche thing with variable support and...

    Question Very basic Question about 32 vs 64 GB RAM

    Question Can't decide between NAS and DAS

    IIRC some NUC models used to have two SATA on board, one meant for an internal 2.5" HDD and a second that was not really useable due to size and space constraints but some people modified their NUC housing to cut a hole in the lid to allow a SATA cable to the extra port. Kinda janky but seemed...

    Question Can't decide between NAS and DAS

    Backblaze does not do this. All data is encrypted before it even leaves your system to be stored on their server. The default encryption key is based on your user account password i think but you also have the option to configure a different encryption key. Backblaze has no way to know the...

    Question Can't decide between NAS and DAS

    The better way to describe it is that they only backup data that is detected on your device and it's physically attached volumes (no network volumes). If you remove a drive you will generally have 30 days i think before they stop storing the data on their servers. However they have a version...
