does switching from "AHCI/NVME" to "Raid On" make a big performance difference? Raid On makes it so i can't boot from my hard drive without special drivers so it seems bad (especially since I just have one drive)

With SSD's you don't need raid anyway

i've been looking over mobos for an AMD 7 5800X build for the last few days and have mostly settled on ASRock x570 Steel Legend. One thing that is making me rethink this combo is I don't have another CPU to do a BIOS upgrade. Are these boards (probably) shipping with updated BIOS yet or am I most likely SOL for this board? I like the feature set on the Steel Legend otherwise. It seems like you can't flashback the BIOS on these boards tho. this box would be a Linux rig for some gaming but mostly coding and running VMs, so if there are other motherboards that might be a better fit for that I'm open to alternatives too. I can provide a full parts list if that helps.

Why did you decide on this one? A b550 board is probably a better option unless you need a lot of sata or pci e ports. Lots of options with flashback and comparable vrms, nic, sound, etc

At this point things are starting to blend together and I mostly settled on this one by way of a process of elimination over a couple days of googling issues, reading motherboard tier lists, and peoples' experiences on reddit (:/) over the course of the last few days. I have also read that linux does not work very well with all boards cpu/fan sensors but it seemed like this one would be ok. I am open to suggestions though, as it does have some shortcomings (no front usb-c connector, no flashback, just pretty good vrms). I was also looking at MSI B550 Tomahawk and that one seems like it might do the job too, although I haven't spent as much time reading up on it and it seems like 2.5GB NICs might not work? post hole digger fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Mar 25, 2021 |

what even is 2.5gbps networking, i thought 1 or 10 were the standard. do you need to have 10gbps switches and cat6a and it just runs at 2.5gbps? i mean yeah i could look this up but i’m several drinks deep in the back of a taxi. thanks and bless

10 gigabit copper ethernet has been around since 2006, but in 2016 they made a new multigig standard which adds 2.5 and 5 gig. 2.5 gig can go 100 meters on cat5e 2.5g is beginning to show up on stuff because 99% of cheap gigabit poo poo uses realtek chips and realtek has started making cheap 2.5g chips

Comcast is offering 2gb symmetrical connections to like 75m people if you are willing to pay for it. Google fiber is doing it too now. Others will follow suit, prices will come down. It won't be common anytime soon, but it is an option for a lot of people and you won't get the full speed on just gigabit. Its really easy to get a nas that will do more than a gig of throughput. Its also not really any more expensive, most of the motherboards with flashback and a good number of usb ports and decent vrms have 2.5gb or 5gb nics. Its mostly the cheapest ones with only 1gb nics.

yeah i feel like above a certain point the real benefit of a faster connection is for like a big family situation or a house with a lot of roommates. i don't think i would get enough utility to justify paying for faster than the symmetrical 100M pipe i already have

honestly that still kinda blows me away. i remember a conversation with a friend in high school, back when we both still had dialup, and fantasizing about having our own t1, and i said "woah what if you had your own t3??" and he laughed and said "isn't that what like an isp has for their backbone?" and now i've got an internet connection fast enough to saturate fast ethernet future sucks in a lot of ways but this is still pretty amazing, to me anyway that's my story. thanks and "god bless",

I cant seem to get hardware virtualization working on my computer. I have an intel i7-4770K which according to the specs page supports VT-x. When I run egrep -c '(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo i get 0 back. I have looked in the BIOS but there doesn't seem to be an option to turn this on. What stupid thing am I doing wrong?

I have a consumer HP that is similar... it’s not enough for the processor to support it, motherboard has to as well. HP decided that consumers would never care about that so they keep it disabled... it’s maddening what brand is it?

normally there is a virtualization setting even in the most wretched oem bios but it might be called something weird. you won’t see it called vt-x basically ever, try looking for anything similar to virtualization, VT, IVT or vanderpool technology.

You also need to turn it on to use the non-poo poo WSL so it's ridiculous that commodity pc bioses make it so obnoxious.

Thanks and gently caress you HP awesome, glad you got it sorted. my turd of a machine has the option for VT, but if you enable it and reboot, it’s disabled again. it’s literally a 10 year old Walmart special I got free and use for displaying stuff on my living room TV, so not a huge loss... but maddening still

i could probably post this in any pos thread, but what’s the go to cheap linux SBC with minimal HW quirks these days? my old raspberry pi is idling above 50°C with a heat sink so ideally low power modes would work with a stock kernel.
