I'll need to check the BIOS. No time right now. Too much else that HAS to be done today. (ain't life grand :rolleyes: ) 8-10 hours overnight? Just some SATA SSDs and HDDs. OK. I do intend to upgrade that NVMe drive, but I'm hoping I can outwait the recent price increases.

Yes. Good to know. One less thing to add to my "worries" list. I wish that someone can come up with a diagnostic that would probe the innars of an NVMe drive. I guess that unlke HDDs, there isn't anyone like Backblaze to provide performance stats on a large installed base of drives.

OK, but why would my system still be doing memory training, since I built my rig well over a year ago. My system is rock-steady, so I haven't updated Have not updated the BIOS or the chipset driver in a long time. No BSODs. No overclock except BPO. I know I should update the BIOS, the...

Yes you are adding to my misery. Fortunately I already have a robust backup routine that runs daily.

The drive is a Sabrent Rocket 1TB PCIE-4, purchased around April, 2020 with 6800 total power on hours, per HD Sentinel Pro. It started out life in an ASUS X570e motherboard, then was moved over to an ASUS X670e motherboard (with no real issues). Sometimes when I turn on the system from power...

I don't want to be permabanned, so I really can't comment on the substance of what you said. I've learned the house rules after being warned a few times. I'll just say I'm uncomfortable right now.

Ooops. Responded to wrong thread, which was about new Asrock board with PCIE-5 support.

This board is still lousy for adapter slots.

I know about how engineers optimize the output of a chemical plant using massive Excel spreadsheets,. See above. ^^^^

Why???

And how exactly is this a selling point in a corporate environment? Imagine explaining this to an end-user, who probably had no input to the Linux choice decision, and probably doesn't know what the word "distro" even mean.

Irrelevant in the corporate market. Since everyone uses MS Office, it is a DE FACTO standard. And no one gives two hoots about Office being the least compatible, because there is no need for ISO-compatible software w/r/t Office. When I was a consultant, I was told I needed MS Office, because...

Any idea why?

It's not just the low market share of desktop Linux. it's the large number of versions and releases. Maybe Linux as a catergory has 4% market share, but what is the market share of any given distro? How much less than 1% You aren't going to get Adobe or Intuit interested in developing (and...

I agree with you, even though I have an MS account, so I can transfer licenses. But sadly, you and the other guys who posted in this thread are a minuscule percentage of total Windows home users.

Yeah, but I can just imagine an ARISTA C-level meeting, where the VP of support complains that he/she has to support individuals who don't pay much. So in their infinite wisdom they decide that even small fry have to pay enterprise support prices. No thought to reputational damage or to the...

Naw. Only Russians "fall" out of windows., Chinese simply disappear.

AT&T lives up to its monitor "death star."

So after reading a bit about the ASUS Creator X670e, I wish I had gotten this board instead of the ROG Strix E-A x670e.

After reading this thread, I'm afraid that any hope for future HEDT boards is just pissing into the wind. Don't mean to be a downer, but that's how I feel.

Over on LinkedIn, there is a market forecast that predicts PCIe Switches Market Size is Growing at a CAGR of 11.9% with Worth ~ US$ 1764.6 million by 2032 [Exclusive 98+ Pages Report] https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pcie-switches-market-size-growing-cagr-119-vysfcv If you believe this...

Agreed but we probably want to buy products with higher profit margins, You would think. I don't have any specific knowldge, but if I look at the ASUS product lineup,it seems they must have some kind of software that allows them to tweak a basic design into multiple released products,with...

It is. I have to wonder how they do their market research. Now I know that some guys are buying the least expensive mboard they can, but there are also guys who would (and are fortunate enough spend some of their hard-earned dollars, euros and pounds to get a board with extra lanes and PCI-E...

I would be OK with buyuing a workstation board if there were entry-level models priced like medium priced consumer boards. Or maybe there needs to be a new category of boards, between today's consumer and workstation markets. I for one don't need a dual CPU setup. (Back in the day I had an AMD...

Yeah, there are all these reports about doublling the efficiency of existing hardware, of faster and faster PCI. Seagate predicitng 240 TB drives, etc.How can an ordinary slob like me keep up with all the news?

So someone should hire Lasse Collin (and others like him). There are large companies, you know who they are, who could easily afford his salary. I wonder how many other mission-critical open source modules are in this situation.

On which device? OP did not state if phone is Apple or Android.

4-D memory stacking? :)

AMD probably can't staff up with as many software developers as nVidia. Classic situation with a #2.

From this article It's still very early days for this technology: So let's not put off needed hardware upgrades.

Does any of this really matter? You know in the end that us ordinary guys are going to get the shaft again, the same one we got during the cryptomining craze. ETTS.

What he said.

OCD :ROFLMAO:

I know I can do that, but I was hoping there is an easier way.

I just discovered this interesting utility to manage all your USB connections https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html Here is a partial map that this utility produces. My question: how can I (easily) map these hub and port names to the physical USB ports on my motherboard? In my case...

Well. what happens if the designers discover a flaw in the specs, or a spec detail that is very hard/impossible to implement?

Reading this thread, I realized that I should be running an HEDT, even if I wasn't aware of that until now. Just for grins I searched on "ASUS HEDT" Nothing except ROG and gaming machines.

Maybe the guys who designed the X670E chiipset didn't fully understand use cases.

criccio I would like to access that spreadsheet directly from Google. I will probably upgrade to AMD Zen5 maybe 6 months after announcements, when there are enough motherboard choices. In the past I reflexively used ASIUS because I have had good results with ASUS boards. But I know market...

Hey. What if Nvidia really did buy the XBox brand from Microsoft? Then what? :eek: :eek:
