The USB cables are dangling or devices are powered off. I do have a Logitech wireless mouse. Keyboards are wired.

When do the Zen 5 Threaddrippers arrive? I imagine your work area would be sweating extra in the summertime.

Mainstream Windows 7 support ended in January 2015. Almost 10 years later is not bad at all. What are you using on that 6 YO computer? We know your laptop runs 11, so no issues there.

It must be the BIOS since nothing else changed and I did not even crack the case at the time.

Why would you have to turn it off to replace the UPS battery; is it just the physical location?

So I updated to prepare for the ZEN 5, and now it is messed up. I have no clue which USB device this could be, but it must be casued by the new BIOS. What can I do? Device Status Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) The SuperSpeed link to the USB...

There is no need to be vulgar. He could change the title to "Longest Running System?" My first thoughts were about network cable length or possibly Wi-Fi signal distance. UPS run time is my nemesis, so I always want it to be longer (in hours).

I had an E7200 that was purchased to troubleshoot a board and gave that to someone, but it is long gone now. None of my computers run anywhere near continuously. During pandemon icu I recycled all the older desktops and a few ancient laptops that had just been accumulating. I'm sure the...

My first computer was a DELL XPS. Including only the monitor and speakers it would be over $6K in today's dollars. The total cost of the computer, monitor, flatbed and 35mm scanners, external SCSI CD burner, printer, and some other stuff would be about $12K in today's dollars. Within a year...

I'm not so sure. Maybe that is in small companies, but category managers would not be so interested in the label graphics.

Have you worked with a brand team and marketing on anything ever?

I have several rear and side case fans of Noctuals, not just the CPU fans. $2K is not much for the entire computer. I figure a good computer is around $4-6K without the monitor and external storage. A whole system with display and storage always seems to cost at least $10K or more, whether...

If the AMD is a dog, then I'll get iNtel Arrowhead lake if the chipsets are adequate to support the slots and NVMe at the same time. I've been stuck on AMD due to the symmetrical properties supported by Win 10. Photo opportunity costs are getting ridiculous and will be coming to an end in the...

I'm really hoping it is testing issue and they are not derating the product like iNtel had to do. We need to see the benchmarkers for the commerical CPUs. 16% is minimal already and worse performance makes it less valuable for those with Zen 4 already.

I want more information about the QE and CAPAs. The little info that has been released indicates there is a serious quality issue. It seems that either the testing equipment and/or procedures were inadequate to detect the defects as they should have been designed to do, and furthermore that QM...

HGST was no more after 2012 so the label is just an artifact of the historical branding (2018 or older). The first PR on the SN840 I found is from 2020. I agree that 2TB is too small. I have numerous 2TB SATA III and M.2 SSDs.

Now we learn that Ryzens are also poorly built and will not be launched as planned. 🤬

I saw that, but figured it would be too expensive.

You guys are taking it too seriously. :)

More MS nonsense. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/latest-windows-11-bug-will-have-you-scrambling-to-find-your-bitlocker-recovery-key People are screwed if they don't have that recovery key or an alternate means of restoration.

You should get a warranty replacement so no costs.

Can't you just replace the CPU if it fails? The 9950X3D should be in Q4 unless something changed. In a year or so they will be on Zen part 6.

So the short answer is that I will probably buy just one. It's a pain to remove that gigantic video card out of the system to access most of the SSDs, so ideally it will be at the same time as the CPU upgrade.

Do you mean Steven Hill or Peter Graves? That little twerp Cruise would have had his ass kicked in five minutes. :cool:

I have a dozen Nocturnal fans. They are ugly but quiet for the airflow and keep on going for years. Which fans do you prefer? The 3000 and 5000 series did not have integrated video, but the 2022 7950X has better video performance than the 2021 5700G (APU model) though that's not its purpose...

Maybe you all think I am paranoid. What if somebody gets your used computer and commits heinious crimes? I can use a type of Cougtek process for old and dead drives. And I don't work at the International Monetary Fund. :LOL:

I had a couple systems for 4-5 years and a laptop for even longer, but my upgrade cycles are shorter now like they were prior to Gulftown. Nowadays it's all e-wasted in a few years. It's too much of a security hassle to re-home them.

The 512GB boot drive could be replaced with an 8TB WD and then partutioned so ~7.5TB could be mounted on the 12TB Dynamics Dics. Last time I had some problems in the past and am not sure if one DD can mount onto another DD. I can run the extra 2x4TB SATA via hardware RAID 0 if needed or just...

Is it just a type of link, i.e., can the volume be dismounted and the files accessible as normal? What if the main drive dies, can the mounteds be recovered?

I do not have a good plan, that is for sure. Somehow I need to add and aggregate, but JBLOD is no good. The 4TB SATA are neither there nor here, but the three 4TB SN850s should be utilized somehow. Maybe I need to change to an incremental property instead of the 12:12 (1:1). I think there...

I was planning to take the computer offline in 2025, but maybe it will be sooner. The 8840U may be the internet computer, but not connected to the data. I was hoping to keep using the W10 on that one as long as practicable.

It should be good for some contract workers looking for overtimes. ;)

Today the MS installed the Co-Pilot in Windows 10. WTF?

Five years is more than most high end builds will ever see and low end builds will be using wimpy CPUs that are fine on air. I understand that individual builders don't want to deal with customers any more than necessary. The last thing you want to receive is a message that the cooling...

Replacing the CPU is PITA enough in my computer case so I was planning to replace both at the same time. If Noctuas were sold from the US if would be easier, but I suspect that there are many of the faulty coolers that will be around for a while. I guess we will know in about two weeks how...

That's really a bummer, since it could take months for the defectives to be weeded out and they have no direct US distribution.

I don't know for sure if those are the only differences. I only found that video yesterday from computex. Like most of these things we'll have to wait for more in-depth reviews on their thermal and noise management to get a better picture of how much better it at all, they end up being from the...

But the max power depends on the workload and duty cycle. At idle there is not much difference between CPUs of the same family. Do you think the Nocturnal fans are too loud? I have mine of the D15 on the temperature profile and they are mostly very quiet until the CPU is on highly loads.

It's normal to have liquid cooling and recommended for many CPUs, including AMD. I think you have not built a desktop system in over 4 years?

You can run the Intel PDT and check the temps and power consumption with CoreTemp also.

I don't usually take advice from brain slugs. ;) BB sells many products that are not stocked but can be shipped to stores. If I get the 9950X I'm not sure what to do with the 7950X.

So the airports use 11 or do you mean office?

I was expecting maybe 650-700 msrp with street price discounts to 550 after a while. I just care about the performance. The ODMs can care about the price.

The pricing information comes from Anandtech Forum member, Hail The Brain Slug, who allegedly knows someone working at BestBuy. 😆😅😂🤣 The info must be accurate then.

I have to figure out how to use them. Right now I have three 4TB SN850X and one 512GB 970 Pro (boot drive). The four NVMe on the X670E are split between the two double-sided M.2s (5.0) and the two single-sided M.2s (4.0). I also have 3x4TB and 2x4TB of SATA III.

The SN840 is more archaic technology and that U.2 stuff just doesn't make sense with my limited PCIe lanes. The viable option was one of the $1000 8-lane multimode comptrollers that would power 1-2 U.2/U.3 and 4-8 SATA III. Then I could remove the SAS Raid controller.

If MS is using the Clowns for security then it sure is MS's fault. You are almost always responsible for your suppliers actions. Of course MS's laywers are probably checking all their contracts to see if they can be compensated.

Does it impact 11, but not 10?

Ther flight was cancelled this morning. Hopefully they will come on Saturday, but what about the legs on Sunday?
