I'm skeptical of that because the iperf results were 900+mbps each way. I'm pretty sure the last time the Mikrotik units were causing me trouble (before the firmware update) the problem showed in iperf as well, not just SMB. I will have to see how it does transfering to and from another 1gig...

Yeah, it's weird... My transfers one way look like this: Moving data the other way looks like your results. CAT6 cabling with my Mikrotik network gear. The results using 10gig are as I'd expect (and not like this) copying the exact same files from the same sources.

So I'm actually trying to use the R9 3950X and I have to say it sucks! It's got a lot of CPU grunt, but network performance (wired gigabit) is beyond abysmal. I get like 20-50MB/sec on file copies from my server. The speed is super inconsistent. Pushing data from it to the sever or my...

Which phone is this and why are you going through all this trouble?

I coupled the exhaust case fan in the back to the VRM temp. The front two fans are tied to other temperature sensors on the motherboard. The front two fans are still the included FD fans.

I did try messing with the PBO numbers the other night a little bit though I didn't bother to change them in the BIOS but with Ryzen Master. I did basically see what was described in the video you linked before. It will run slightly faster with higher power usage with numbers closer to the...

We bought our cases too soon. :ROFLMAO: https://www.fractal-design.com/introducing-define-7-and-define-7-xl/

Are you sure about that? AMD's documentation says it will install and run under Windows 10 on any AMD Ryzen processor. The Ryzen processors before the 3000 series have a lot less supported features, but it is supposed to run. Where do you keep getting these understandings from? The 3950X...

How did you get roped into tech support for someone 9000 miles away?

To add to that it's supposed to stick them to the cores that can run the fastest out of all the cores in the CPU. I saw this yesterday while the system was mostly idle while the SATA drives were going through their RAID initialization. About 12 of the cores were asleep and there were 4 active...

I'm not sure what features the 1600AF has. The 3950X will actually go even lower. It will straight up put cores to sleep and just show "sleep" for most of them.

Maybe I will get some and try it to see how it compares to the stuff Scythe included. What size did you get? I saw some people on Amazon complaining they got what they presume to be fake stuff (due to the bad performance). Edit: Turns out I already have some Hydronaut. Which has slightly...

What were the CPU fans spinning at before? Mine are close to 100% ~1100RPM at 64.5C and are definitely not inaudible.

I think my HTPC has at least 1 BeQuiet fan in it. I will have to open it check what I ended up with in there. I know I bought several of them around the time I got the GeForce 1080 for it. I bought several different 140mm fans testing them previously in the HTPC. I put 140mm Noctua fans in...

Which 140mm Noctua fans are you using? I was thinking to perhaps swap out the stock Fractal Design 140mm fans for either the Noctua NF-A14 PWM or the BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 PWM high-speed. Either can move more air than the included Fractal Design X2 140mm fan though not by much per the specs...

My guess is that by putting in really large numbers some divider settings are changed which reduces how granular the adjustment can be. It's also possible that such large values break the tuning algorithm. Or maybe it is just buggy. That's the speed reported by Ryzen Master, not another...

Supposedly they don't have enough kits to test everyone. That's what being reported in the news. Leaving the ship and getting on a plane to fly to the US with people you've been quarantined from for almost 2 weeks already, who haven't been tested, only to have to spend another 14 days in...

I repeated the same case closed P95 Small FFT hour+ test today with PBO off with just the stock clocks/voltages. It settled at 64.5C and was running ~3875MHz and ~100W. So ~3% performance costs ~33% in power and ~15C.

Case closed up my temps settled at about 80.5C with PBO enabled running the small FFT P95 stress test after more than an hour. It was showing 4gHz in Ryzen Master and 135-140W. It felt like the room had warmed up some by that point too. Frankly, the efficiency loss PBO and overclocking this...

Interesting. I'll have to play with that later. Which P95 test numbers were you using for the screenshot above? The 128 custom FFT from the video or the small one?

There will probably be a lot of empty shelves in a few months. Prices will rise as things start to thin. Maybe, but unfortunately memories are short and the amount of time to bring things back and get local manufacturing running again is long. It's likely.

I just used what came with the Scythe Fuma 2 HSF. It looks to be a silver based compound. I'm also currently using the fans that came with the Fractal Design case. They don't seem to be very high RPM (under 1000RPM at full speed). Despite only being 3 wire fans the Aorus motherboard is able...

You're running the first P95 test (small FFTs)? Ignore the # of threads I took the screenshot on my E5-2687W v2. It seems like you're running a mixed test or something. The In-place large FFT test runs for me like your first screenshot with higher clocks and less power draw even with PBO...

The new motherboard after the exchange and MC seems about like the last one in terms of noise. Maybe it's a tiny bit quieter, but not much. I haven't run P95 for real long periods of time so I can't definitively say if it alternates between two speeds or not. So far, it seems to hold the high...

I've got it all disassembled, packaged up, and ready to return. It wasn't too bad since I'm careful when unboxing, saving all the packaging, and what not. The stupid NVMe heatsink doesn't even make contact with the NVMe drive. There's some sort of partially tacky thermal pad on the heatsink...

They're not proving to be very helpful... :confused: Edit: They're even dumber than I first thought.

Oh, I also tried another power supply earlier and got the same results. It's definitely the motherboard that's to blame. :mad: I posted in the Aorus X570 thread at overclock.net asking for feedback if this is typical or not for the board.

I don't really think the case masks it quite enough. I made a recording with my Rode NT1. Here's the m4a of it. I did nothing to the recording other than compress it to AAC and trim a little off the front and end of the recording. No EQ, no compression, no level adjustments, etc. Here's the...

Use a different VM software? I'm pretty sure some of them support USB pass through.

I think that might be a stretch. You can probably make all the same tweaks in the BIOS though.

So on mine the Infinity Fabric and the Memory Clock were automatically locked together: My quick tests showed that PBO + Ryzen Performance profile in Windows 10 gave the best performance in the x265 FHD benchmark. Auto OC mode gave worse performance than Default or PBO. PBO is a few percent...

Is that a ASRock BIOS feature or something in the Ryzen Master software? I only tried the two different power profiles in Windows so far. The Ryzen balanced and the Ryzen performance. There was a difference of a few percent between them in the x265 benchmark I ran. I will have to install...

There is still plenty of room for them to Canon it up... Like no AF, using a less than 32MP section of the sensor to generate the upsampled "8K" output, only 8-bit, shooting MJPEG, etc. However, it would be a little weird to come out with a camera with a revolutionary feature list (when you...

Inferior medical treatment? A different mindset in the population in terms of seeking medical treatment? The virus started there first? The virus is a bioweapon that targets Chinese? No idea...

I didn't have any yellow triangle warnings, but I installed the AMD chipset drivers anyhow. The Gigabyte Smart Fan section in the SIV application is pretty slick. You can define a custom PWM vs. temp. curve for each fan header as well as defining what thermal sensor it uses to control the PWM...

The "shh"/sizzle sound is audible over the CPU HSF (when it's spun up under load) with one of the Prime95 test patterns (others test patterns weren't so bad). I'm skeptical that the case is going to mask it. 🤨 No RGB LEDs on the RAM. I was a little surprised to find there are LEDs on the...

How loud is your motherboard aside from the fan? The Gigabyte Aorus Pro Wifi board is quite loud (at least outside of Windows) running open air. It's not the chipset fan or the the fans on the CPU HSF. The mobo stops the chipset fan most of the time. I guess it's some sort of "coil whine"...

It's probably best to just buy the 512e versions of the drives since they're the same price as the 4kN for this PC build. There's no guarantee that the RAID controller uses the same paths for for NVMe that is uses for SATA drives.

Why wouldn't they support it? Aren't most SSD's and NVMe drives 4kN now? If you can RAID them (you can), I don't why they wouldn't support RAID on a 4kN HDD. I didn't find anyone complaining about it. I found virtually no chatter about it online. The LSI/Broadcom RAID cards I have in my...

I can't find any information anywhere if the AMD RaidXpert2 RAID mode support 4kN drives. I can't really find if it supports 4kN in normal AHCI mode either.

I got the system (mobo, PS, CPU, RAM, NVMe SSD, and an old fanless GeForce 8600GT) running open air LTT style on the motherboard box. I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and loaded the XMP profile for the memory. Right now it's running memtest86 from a USB stick. I need to look into...

China has a 2nd province on lockdown now. Reportedly up to 400million people.

My E5-2687W v2 is in a Fractal Design Define R5. I wanted a case for this Ryzen R9 build that could hold at least four 3.5" HDDs and one 5.25 optical drive which takes a lot of current cases out of contention.

I found the 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD. I'm going to use that for now. Microcenter didn't have the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold. They were selling the Seasonic Focus GX in it's place with the same SKU that they have for the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold on the website. Apparently it's a slightly tweaked...

What were you using that for? I only just finally got around to putting my 500GB Samsung 850 Pro into my HP Elitebook to replace the 180GB Intel that came with it last week. :unsure: I've thought about initially running this new Ryzen 9 build off the 256GB NVMe that I pulled out of my Dell...

I think you pretty much already have the accepted king of the quiet air cooling hill. I was looking for something cheaper and I saw people saying good things about the Fuma 2. It seems to be as good thermally as the D15 at an equivalent noise level for almost half the price. I went back and...

My understanding is that it will work without it connected based on comments I've seen online, but for $10 extra I'll just get a PS that lets me connect it. I'm not sure if I will do any OC'ing. There doesn't seem to be a lot of headroom in any of these new high-end chips from Intel or AMD...

Updated parts list... I will go to Microcenter later today to get the parts (except the cooler and case). The Aorus Elite Pro has an 8pin + 4 pin power connector and the 650W Seasonic doesn't come with the 2 cables to connect them all (only 1) whereas the 750 does for $10 more so I made that...

I'm thinking to use these parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yyjGb8 With my existing GTX 1080 + optical drive. Probably get some WD Ultrastar H530 SATA drives for RAID-1 storage (undecided on size). Some 1TB NVMe drive using the Phison E12 controller. I see Microcenter has the 3950X at...

How did your build turn out?
