I agree with your recommendation to stay away if possible. It's clear from the listings and labeling that NEMIX sells used RAM pulled from decommissioned servers. A 2x32GB kit I bought had clear signs of use, but I got lucky and the chips met the rated spec and worked fine. I only took the...
Thanks, that's very helpful. I guess I'll just run at 1733 memory/IF clock and focus on tuning timings instead. Maybe I'll take another stab at the CPU later, but losing deep sleep is a dealbreaker.
I installed the chipset drivers and never touched it, so it's been on Ryzen Balanced. Would this actually make a difference? I know about the CPU % setting in the power plans, but isn't the whole point of the chipset drivers to make the deep sleep work? I could see Fclk/mem clocks affecting...
Ryzen Master never ever showed "Sleep" for any core at any time, and my minimum CPU Package Power (SMU) in HWiNFO was >30W; per-core power was 0.5-1W instead of under 0.1W.
I started down this rabbit hole when I noticed that my cores weren't sleeping with XMP applied. I don't care about optimizing absolute performance, but I would at least like for my hardware to run at its advertised speed without compromising on something as critical as idle power.
I've been messing with a 3900X and Crosshair VII Hero (X470) for a few days and I can't make heads or tails of how to optimize for performance or power efficiency for either all-core or single-core workloads. I think I've spent too much time with Intel, and my expectations are all out of whack...
I decided to stick with the 2600X, and got a B450 and a fanless GT 1030 DDR4. I appreciate the advice on APUs and IPMI, but the motivation for this build is to reuse the 2600X so I don't want to spec it out from scratch on a new platform.
Yes, I did see the 3200G but I would've preferred the lower 35W TDP on the 3200GE; that Xeon is only 25W and has an IGP. Is it true that Ryzen APUs don't support ECC? I've seen mixed reports about whether it works in theory and no working examples.
GT 710 is out of consideration for being too old, I'd like to be up to date. Video decoding capability on the GT 1030 is somewhat attractive as well.
I prefer to reuse my old hardware instead of selling, so I hadn't considered the replace-with-APU path. What's the best way to sell? FS/FT forum...
I want to build a NAS/server around a Ryzen 2600X that I already have. I was looking for the smallest possible GPU to run a command line for installation and debugging use only, and found the GT1030 DDR4 to be the best option as its 20W TDP was the lowest I could find. Are there any other...
ah, it's a good thing i like raw copper then. what you both said about form over function in the modern age of water cooling reflects my feelings as well; i couldn't be happier with the rgb-free soft tube loop that i just built. it's too bad xtremesystems is kind of dead nowadays, i remember...
i've been running custom loops for over a decade without any chemical corrosion blockers or biocides. i've been looking at some modern water cooling guides and i see lots of them saying that you must use one or both of the above, and that just silver doesn't cut it anymore. am i making a mistake...
I had a 144Hz BenQ XL2411 for a few years and thought that returning to 60Hz would be unbearable, but I actually ended up liking the sharpness of 27" 4K60 better than 24" 1080p144 for any usage besides twitchy gaming. Text quality is seriously on another level on a 27" 4K monitor, almost...
I've recently been in the market for a high quality display and I've found nothing that comes even close to my 15 year old NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi in terms of black quality. That monitor has the "A-TW" or "Advanced True Wide" (or is it "Advanced True White"? No one knows for sure...) polarizer...
