Computer and electronics dorks come complain about stuff here

[yonson]

just ordered another 64GB of DDR4 ... 'bout to be in the 128GB of RAM crew lol

Good luck...

 

[yonson]

I'm amazed, evidently I have 4 MSI MB's (double what I thought) none of them were affected.

I'm a bit out of hand with virtual machines... I do everything virtualized... my work computer is a VM ... my work laptop collects dust

do you work for a smallish company or are you just flying under the radar with a p2v conversion

do you work for a smallish company or are you just flying under the radar with a p2v conversion

I do R&D for a large company so most of my dev work is done on machines that aren't on the company network

 

[Boots]

Good luck...

why would I need luck?

 

[TenSteel]

No dust filters?

Yeah I have two and they almost looked like lint traps.

 

[TenSteel]

i struggle to find one that's not shitty

Gigabyte gets hacked, loses RMA, denies RMA, sells explosive PSUs
ASUS is overpriced, has drivers with code execution vulnerabilities,
ASRock is....Nissan of computers

Nissan makes the Skyline and 350Z though.

 

[TenSteel]

One thing I would definitely not buy Asrock are GPUs. Just … nah.

 

[LancerV]

Bonding interfaces will not give you double throughput on a single transfer thread FYI.

Unsure if it works on non-ubiquiti stuff, but there is a app called WifiMan(iOS) that may help you map whats going on in your house.

Yep interview question right there

Depending on the platform, getting 4 DIMM's to run at XMP can be problematic...

 

[Slimmy]

I've had bad luck over the years with MSI. Motherboards, mainly, but enough that it's soured me on buying anything MSI.

This is just one more thing.

That being said, all consumer brands have their pros and cons, yes. I just, personally, dislike MSI enough to shit on them every chance I get. I've had decent experience with the Aorus line of MBs, so now that EVGA is RIP I'm probably going to go with an Aorus version of <whatever fucking GPU I can find when I care about GPUs again>.

My work laptop is an MSI, and my new home build is an MSI board.

My old PC which is now gonna be my kitchen/automation PC is an AsRock board, which I never had a single issue with.

 

[yonson]

And if you don't want to watch, the final tally...

could get interesting. Runing 2x32GB now so we'll see what 4x32GB is like. I've read that it can bump them from 3600 down to 3200

Yeah. With only 2 sticks the RAM I have in this machine (X570 5950X) will run at 3866 14 14 14 30, with 4 it will only run at 3732. Those are all manual timings that took quite a while to dial in.
What platform do you have? CPU/MB?

What memory are you running? Are all 4 sticks the same part number?

 

[Boots]

Kingston Fury RGB

two 64GB kits with the same part number

Hopefully both kits use the same modules.

 

[Boots]

Hopefully both kits use the same modules.

with todays supply chain, I wonder what the odds of that are?

 

[the_antsy_honda]

if you need tyou can prob still run them at jdec speed, 2133/2666 at least?

 

[XR250rdr]

With Kingston...a bit higher than average.

Going to try a reseller for an ISP. They claim 20mbps upload, which is twice my current. Could actually use Plex remotely.

Also double my download speed yet $20/month less.
