lol, the manual doesn't. It lists M.2SSD_1 AND M.2SSD_2 implying that there are multiple slots, but doesn't say anything else. It shows you a diagram of how to install a M.2 drive if you have no idea, but it has absolutely nothing about multiple slots or even that there is a difference between slots. The rest of the manual is just different languages
If it's the X470 Taichi then page 8 has a literal picture of the motherboard with M2_1 and M2_2 labeled (going by the pdf online at least)

It is the Taichi, but page 8 for me is part of the list of specifications. Misprint confirmed?

EDIT: I cannot install Windows whatsoever on this piece of poo poo. I get blue screens with different error codes every time the computer restarts. This has been the absolute worst nightmare of a build I have ever experienced. So much for the excitement to move up to X470. I have gotten as far as the first OOBE restart, but then suddenly it's "Windows could not configure the operating system for your hardware" and it just ends, lol. I am using the same USB drive with the same version of 1903 I just used to install the OS less than a week ago.

Anyone ever heard of a CACHE_MANAGER blue screen? How about a 0x000021A? 0xc0000221? All of the documentation available online asks me to run troubleshooters that require you to be able to boot into an OS lmao. Then I get "Your PC/device needs to be repaired". Losing my mind

No RGB components at all, didn't really buy it for the window but its dark as heck in there and so I don't mind the window.

Mines in a Streacom DA2. Rails attach to runners inside the case, radiators / fans can be mounted on them (anywhere, if it fits inside). You can invert the mobo layout too.



I have RGB on the GPU, need to install an app to switch it off. I'm just happy it passive idles.

Whoa, that's pretty rad. I was at my local MicroCenter today looking at some of these nifty form factor cases. It's tough for me to get an idea of scale - is that a mATX case? There were a couple Lenovo AIO computers that were about the length and width of a CD jewel case. I haven't really looked at the prebuilt market in a long time so it was pretty cool to see that the whole "nettop" design actually went somewhere

It's a SFF ITX case. It's ~17 liters, which puts it about halfway in between tiny SFF cases like the Dan Case A4 (7.5 liters) or NCase M1 (12.5 liters) and standard ITX mini towers like the NZXT H200 (26 liters) or Fractal Design Nano S (27 liters). Here's the DA2 (right) next to an NCase M1 (middle)

4 stick on ryzen gen1 probably requires lower clocks or tinkering with timings and voltage. Gen1 in particular struggles with 4 sticks.

I'd setup two sticks in proper dual channel, run memtest briefly, remove them and test the other two. Then you know your RAM is probably good. From there, put all 4 in and try the ryzen dram calculator and use those settings. I need more information about your RAM to tell you which memory type you should pick, but memory rank 1, dimm modules 4, and HyperX uses a bunch of different Hynix or Micron dies so you need the exact model number to figure out which yours uses.

Do the Spectre/Meltdown/etc. mitigations handicap Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge enough to make Bulldozer a worthwhile purchase in hindsight? Phoronix tested this and :lol: no, of course not. They still suck rear end; the only Intel chip any of the FX CPUs manages to beat by a significant margin is an i3-2120 with HT disabled.

Holy crap hahahaha. I have lived with an FX-6300 CPU from 2012 to 2018, wonder how I managed it. (BTW still going strong as a living room PC connected to the TV, an FX 6300 + 8GB ram is still more than good enough for internet, movies and some image editing)

Had a hunch this might be the case. In 2017 I built this rig originally knowing that Ryzen had some latent fuckery with RAM compatibility. I had great success with the initial build and never had a problem until moving to four sticks. I'm prepared to move up once the next generation CPUs are on the market, hence the inclination to go to the X470 board now.

Right now I have it running fairly stable with A-XMP enabled, 2400 manually set as the frequency, AND the timings loosened to 16-16-16-36. I have determined that I can boot into the BIOS no matter what the RAM configuration is on the mobo, which is a big step up from the beeps of death I was getting on the B350, and it's only Windows that starts sputtering when things are wonky.

Generally NVENC loses less frames than CPU streaming would if your CPU is too weak for CPU streaming. 'course the downside is you need way more bitrate to make it look as good as cpu streaming (probably too much to stream it unless you're on at least 30 mbit up). NVENC has been improving each nvidia generation though.

Clock for clock, a single Matisse core matches a Coffee Lake core in Geekbench 4. There's for sure some variance in the performance per task, not sure what that means for real world usage.

While the test page says one was at 2.89GHz and the other at 3.2GHz, the data for both tests shows that the median clocks where 3.975GHz and 3.983GHz respectively.

LMAO yeah, 2133MHz vs 2666MHz isn't apples to apples.

And even then the AMD part loses in a lot. And has higher mem latency (as expected due to IO die)

It's slaying geekbench because AVX & floating point performance increased a whole lot and ipc-wise it should have caught up to or even exceeded coffee lake in some areas. At a technical level, they have all kinds of awesome latency improvements and other things people never talk about in zen2. But, there's a question mark there because best-case latency should be increased in zen2 with worst-case decreased.

8700k scores ~5880 single core and ~26050 multicore. At 5GHz, ~6500 and ~28800 without any of the exploit mitigations. So 5061 and ~25000 aren't that impressive.

It's impressive in the sense that if it is actually locked to 4GHz it will out perform a 4GHz 8700k by ~4%-5% in geekbench. It's impressive in the sense that it will probably cost much less. It's slightly worrying because a 25% clock speed difference between a 3300 and the rumored 5GHz boost CPUs is somewhat odd given the total lack of variance in previous iterations of zen. They are on an entirely different foundry's entirely different node whose consistency should be suffering from the lack of EUV. So maybe it's possible.

Tomorrow night at 10pm est we'll hopefully see!

Holy poo poo that is impressive. The lowest end Ryzen 3 is edging out their previous highest-end 2700X, and doing that with two less cores.
It also confirms AdoredTV's leaks, which most people thought was too good to be true horseshit.

As a bonus vs Intel, the security model of AMD isn't based on Swiss Cheese and you don't have to disable any critical, market-segmenting features.

And Intel has no response for at least two years. 10nm will be laptop-only (meaning it was a bust), and nothing to fall back on like their Pentium 3-M when Prescott failed.
