I'm not very interested in warranty, since I don't have time to wait for replacements. In the MSI BIOS, you have to accept the T&C when going into the OC menu. I assume that is not just AMD, but iNtel as well. I don't mess with manual settings since the CPUs overclock themselves in recent...

Your system in the signatures? I assume there are no controller cards or NICs, etc. How do you get data in and out of that computer; does it have the Thunderbowls?

The first boot cycle or two was extra long though I did not time it. Back in February that X670E system was taking 20 seconds to get to the BIOS with 32GB DDR5-6000, then 40 seconds with 64GB DDR5-6000 (2 RAMs each time). Now it takes 60 seconds to reach BIOS with 64GB, then another 40 seconds...

My MIS motherboard had a BEta BIOS in late April, but I was not aware that the AMD cluster impacted the regular X CPUs. Today I anxiously proceeded to update that BIOS. Fortunately the computer is still working at DDR5-6000 speed on the EXPOs. From what I can see the voltage was reduced from...

Maybe I'm cynical, but I suspect that some small companies are not GAAP compliant.

Is that because it is a BEta BIOS?

My BIOS shows 1.36V with EXPO actuated, so I guess that is excessive for the AMD CPU. The RAM slows to 48000 with the EXPO deactivated. Voltage on the RAMs goes from 1.4 to 1.1. It's not clear what the reduction on the CPU does to the RAM. 🤷‍♂️

If I update the BIOS the RAM will crash down to slow speeds and performance will suck, is that right? I guess the question is whether to leave it alone until failure and then replace with Intel or not. I don't see VSOC listed in my BIOS; maybe it has another name?

Isn't it only for the X3D models? I'm reluctant to update BIOS for the older 7950X if it does something weird.

The ZEN 4 X3D CPUs are a disaster due to EXPO settings overvolting and literally frying the CPUs. Ryzen BURnout ASUS.

Isn't that more of a small business application? In my Division, we have to use Ariba. It's not exactly user friendly if you are not into finance.

I had no idea that networks rotated. Was that in the 90s or some confusion with hard drives >7200RPM?

I was not allowed to play pianos.

That was just an example. I have no idea what you do with all those computers and old parts.

I see a MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 for $338-30 coupon on the Amazon and from the Amazon. I'm not convinced that $250 is so great for a heavily used product.

The Google identifies ERC as Employee Retentions Credit. :LOL: I guess it is Error Recovery Control.

I see the 80EAZZ for $100 if that is it. Performance, durability and error rate are low grade as expected from a BLUE. It's not likely a He drive based on the power specs. What is ERC, something like the TLER?

I don't use their service, but I ordered SSDs during a pandemnonic. I'm just saying why is the notification so damned late? Now I read dozens of news articles.:(

Did anyone else get a letter from the WD that their data was stolen? WD has apress release dated April 2: https://www.westerndigital.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2023/2023-04-02-western-digital-provides-information-on-network-security-incident But why did they wait over a month to notify...

What about all the males that are color vision deficient? Would they battle the wrong individuals due to the color confusions? :LOL:

The LED-powered SSDs are probably aimed towards the gamers. I'm waiting for more and better 8TB M.2 drives. All of the 2TB M.2s are in eternal enclosures now. ;)

From I read at the Wikipaedia, The Guardians is like fantasy, but classified as SuperHero. I don't recall any authority of the SuperHeros in that film. It's very confusing who is in charge of what. :rolleyes:

That doesn't surprise me in the least. Wasn't there a ficus or something plantlike with muscle cells? That's far more ridiculous. I saw part of the film on a plane, back when planes showed movies.

All those drives are spinning incessantly? I notice that the NAs reports show drives on hours, not spinning hours.

https://www.seagate.com/products/gaming-drives/special-editions/lightsaber-collection-nvme-ssd/ Seriously?

Exactly, and the 16TB drives probably have limited hours as they would be newer drives.

No, it's just showing that the most common age of failures is less than three yaers. That does not count the vast majority of drives that are still working. Their aggregate AFR is 1.40%. Other than the one 14TB Segate drive with higher than typical AFR, there is not a lot to practically...

Whatever you use CPU performance has moved on since 2019. Maybe you are awaiting the INtel Meteorite lakes (14th) or AMD Ryzen version 5?

It was very obvious to me after building the 3950X system that a bunch of slow cores don't help for many programs. :mad: Unfortunately the pandecimonum developed right after that or else I might have trashed that whole system and replaced it with iNtel. You know the deal, go with the Apple...

It will have to shipped to me somewhere and then connect to a sucky 4.5.x QNAP.

I don't have IT like options anywhere. The Best I could do is have someone place it in storage.

At least 1200km.

Neither, it will be in storage.

I just wanted to reuse some old drives and send them to another region-zone. 🤷‍♂️ As Roseanne Roseannadanna said, "It just goes to show you. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another."

I'm trying to access different arrays. For some really stupidly reason, the QNAP have segregated the OS and FS so the QTS Hero is ONLY ZFS and the QTS is only EXt4. The only way to change is to flash the firmwares each time, which is not feasible. So now I have two QNAPs locally and two QNAP...

QNAP are totally bogus. :mad:

I don't think there is evidence that Neanderthals drank coffee, but it is possible they discovered it and that was lost to history.

It's the original 7950x, not the new one for game plays. Windows indicates that I have 64GB of DDR5-6000, but NVidias have 12GB. Maybe 25-33% of that is used by the ToPaz acccording to the Task Manager during operation even though I set the ToPaz Memory Consumption to high.` :unsure:

I have that Google gMail thing for the Androidic phones. That's exactly what I don't want in Windows.

Bummer on Adobe. I set the ToPaz preferences for AI processing to "Nvidia GeForce..." and now the R6 CR3 raw files are being denoised to TIF in 1.7 seconds each and R5 files in 3.6 seconds. I'm not sure why the R6 benefitted relatively more. According to Windows the Nvidia GPU is not more...

I'm not sure what is meant by an account in Windows. I don't recall ever having that or is it something that secretly exists automatically? C: has all the programs and the settings in those programs but no data. I restore the entirety of C: from MacriumReflex spanned files a few times per week.

I'm not seeing that the GPU does much in ToPaz Denoise. Can you confirm that CR3->TIF->DNG can be AI denoised successfully with the Photoshop/LR?

I know that 11 will be mandatory eventually, but I just "upgraded" all systems to 10 in 2021-2022. It's just a huge hassle to deal with the data suck of Windows and have a half dozen acounts with emails. I'm still not clear if it is possible to login to the local machine without a password. I...

It takes ~2.5 sec. for the TOpaz Denoise to output each R6 CR3 as a TIF on my system (n=12). That's not too different from 4 sec. you are getting per image considering I'm using the 7950x and 4070 Ti (nothing is at 100% continuously though I hear some fans). Is your speed a problem? I would...

OMG! There are other ingredients some would argue are worse. 20-30 cans of any soft drink daily can't be good for you. I'd be in the toilet all day. :LOL:

400mg is generally considered a safe daily consumption for a healthy person. I average below that. Were you over 400mg/day? The most I notice after stopping entirely is 1-2 days of being a bit sluggish. Serious, recurring headaches usually suggest a visit to the Dr. since they may be caused...

Unfortunately that's too much work for me nowadays.

I used to drink coffee in most countries, but not in the states. Back in the 20th century, the Swiss were crazy for coffee and chocolate. It looks like they still are into it. https://www.thelocal.ch/20211015/how-to-drink-coffee-like-the-swiss

I learned that it only works with RAW files. :cry:

No, I never heard that story. It sounds like something from a Victorian era. We had no sheds in SoCal. :LOL: There probably was physical child abuse, but we were naive about that. It's fine if AMD is skipping a generation of APUs. I'm really hoping that there is a drop-in replacement for the...
