Question Go With Alder Lake for Cool & Quiet ECC RAM Supporting Processor?

Perhaps yes, if my builder confirms ECC functionality with those parts. But if my budget allowed for parts twice the price, are there ECC supporting AMD processors and boards that are faster but just as efficient?

Question Go With Alder Lake for Cool & Quiet ECC RAM Supporting Processor?

Thanks for this valuable feedback! I will pass it on to my builder when plan my next desktop ~ Q2. I don't plan on installing Windows 11 either on my current or the next build if I can avoid it. The one Steiger Dynamics built for me Aug. 2022...

Question RIP AnyDVD HD from Slysoft/Redfox

What I don’t get is that if BD is now as cracked as DVD has long been why did IP police even bother to close down Redfox? Is it because AnyDVD HD made it so easy for dummies like me to rip BDs? In any case, while I downloaded the trial, I never got around to buying a license. But while I...

Question Go With Alder Lake for Cool & Quiet ECC RAM Supporting Processor?

I'm not a system builder and effortless Windows 10 and ECC RAM support are a must, and from processors with base TPDs well below 125w. After all this time, why do users still have to jump through hoops to get AMD processors to make ECC RAM fully functional, assuming they're lucky enough to find...

Question Go With Alder Lake for Cool & Quiet ECC RAM Supporting Processor?

When Arrow Lake desktop processors arrived I thought that their base power draw would be lower than that of my last pc's CPU. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/212265/intel-xeon-w-1370-processor-16m-cache-up-to-5-10-ghz.html Instead the base TDP is 125 W...

Preventing OLED Screen Burn-In

I'd probably solder the wires to these pins of the proper diameter. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/61013-2/294314

Preventing OLED Screen Burn-In

Such great news, plus that 112w average power consumption that Rtings.com measured vs. that 444 w Sony spec. No doubt, with my typically sub 4K source content and as my below average room lighting will allow me to dial down the A95L's brightness, power draw should be even less. True or False...

Preventing OLED Screen Burn-In

If 112w average power consumption or lower for DVD and 2K BD playback in a dimly light room really is true, then Sony's top OLED is the one for me. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/a95l-oled#test_79 I do no gaming, nor will this TV be connected to the Internet. Sources will be the BD...

Question AMD Processor ECC Memory Support: Why So Hinky?

I've read that ECC RAM imposes a speed bump of something like 3% or less. Besides, I do no gaming nor any 4K video editing, so speed is not a priority. I've been an Intel user all along so wouldn't know of any vintage ECC supporting AMD processors.

Question AMD Processor ECC Memory Support: Why So Hinky?

I'll swap in/out a storage drive now and then but building pcs from scratch is not my thing. And I don't even know if my builder would recommend me buying motherboards for him to test for ECC RAM support and which were not returnable. Besides, such confirmation should be the BRAND's job, not the...

Question AMD Processor ECC Memory Support: Why So Hinky?

That was true until Rocket Lake was succeeded by Alder Lake. Numerous mainstream processors listed in Bold support ECC RAM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake#Desktop_processors_(Alder_Lake-S)

Even on ASrock's own forum there are users with ECC functionality issues with those boards. https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26925&title=update-on-am5-ecc-support
