Q skews are typically aimed at business/corporate environments Looking at that chart, it looks like you get "PCI support", which I guess means you get PCI from CPT instead of some third party PCIe<->PCI bridge. WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Mar 16, 2011 |

Factory Factory posted:The fix: Boot to a Windows install DVD in UEFI mode and schedule a memory diagnostic on reboot. Reboot, cancel memory diagnostic, and then Windows loaded properly again, and the BIOS has the proper Windows UEFI bootloader entry again. Same thing happened to me with my Intel DH67BL. The repair option wouldn't work with my disc, told me the DVD wouldn't work with the version of Windows I had installed. The USB key I had worked though. It ended up making a another entry in my boot manager which didn't work, but I was able to get rid of that with msconfig.

Factory Factory posted:Eh, this is a bit late, but are you sure you booted to UEFI mode? Windows 7 DVDs can boot in legacy BIOS mode and also into a hooked-into-UEFI mode, complete with 2.2+ TB support and all that jazz. I had the same thing when I booted to the disc in BIOS mode, just had to boot it the other way. Yeah making sure I turned UEFI on in the BIOS was the first thing I tried when I couldn't boot off my SSD.

My DH67BL boots really fast now. The latest BIOS has some things you can turn off to increase boot-time. You can even disable USB devices during boot to speed it up even more but I think that borders on ridiculous.

I'm swapping my CPU out and want to replace my old Arctic Freezer Pro while I'm at it. Anyone have a good heatsink recommendation? I want something that doesn't require me to install a different bracket on the backside of the motherboard, isn't too loud, and isn't too tall (Sythetec Ninja barely fits in this case). These requirements seems to rule out most of what I'm looking at.

I've swapped out those push-pin heatsinks hundreds of times and I don't understand the problem people have with them. You have to either have the pins in a locked position or not have the holes lined up for anywhere near that much force to be necessary. Or maybe the stock heatsinks are not as terrible as other brands

Agreed posted:I suspect but don't know for sure that it's a combination of slight tolerance differences with motherboard makers and heat sink makers; the only issue I had with the LGA775 cooler (after market, AC Freezer Pro 7) was that it did bend the motherboard slightly on installing it (before mounting the motherboard to the standoffs). I was much better prepared for that when I swapped it over last week to the 212+ (which didn't flex it nearly as much, either, thanks to the mounting bracket distributing the force much better), but installing the AC back in 2008 and seeing the motherboard flex while knowing that it's got tons of thin metal traces running all through it was pretty scary. The AC Freezer Pro 7 uses a different mounting scheme than Intel's pushpin one. quote:it was not difficult to install, much easier than Intel's finicky stock cooler from that time period. Nice, firm lock into place, no screwdriver required for any of it, big plastic knobs to turn to open and close the retention clips... You actually just described the Intel stock heatsink.

Locks firm in place, no screw driver required, big plastic knobs to open and close...that is exactly what the stock heat sink has. I have used the same heatsink on my Yorkfield system, I liked my AC Pro Freezer 7 but I don't understand how it's so much easier to setup or more fool proof when it has a bunch of loose pieces and a "fits on any socket if you use the right pins and line the mounting bracket up correctly" design. The stock heatsink isn't a great performer or anything. But it does the job and after swapping them out hundreds of times I do not understand why people have problems with it. Hell, its the only heatsink I've worked with where I can put it on or take it off with one hand and not even have to have a clear view of it.

Anandtech has some IVB info http://www.anandtech.com/show/4763/ivy-bridge-gpu-performance-up-to-60-faster-than-snb-better-quicksync quote:Ivy Bridge's GT2 configuration has 16 EUs, no word on how many the GT1 configuration will have. As a result Intel is expecting a 60% increase in 3DMark Vantage scores (Performance Preset) and a 30% increase in 3DMark '06 scores. IVB GT1 on the other hand will only see performance increase by 10 - 20%. If we look at the 3DMark Vantage data from our Llano notebook review, a 60% increase in performance over SNB would put Ivy Bridge's GPU performance around that of AMD's A8. It remains to be seen how well this translates into actual gaming performance though.

Alereon posted:A Cantiga system should be reasonably snappy as long as you've got at least 4GB of RAM, are running Windows 7 64-bit, have the latest Intel drivers (especially graphics drivers), and are using a GPU-accelerated web browser (Firefox 7.0 for example). If you're running Windows XP or 32-bit Windows because that's what your company uses, or your OEM doesn't offer the current Intel graphics drivers and hardware acceleration is blacklisted for you, performance goes to poo poo. Using a non-MS Antivirus program will also murder performance, especially on marginal systems where the impact the harddrive throughput and CPU load makes a huge difference. On a work laptop the AV may not be something you can control, but a poor choice easily means a system that should run fine is painfully slow. Laptops using 5400rpm harddrives is also a pet peeve of mine, but unfortunately common. SSDs can make a lot more sense in laptops since 2.5" harddrives are so much slower than their 3.5" desktop equivalents, and you don't often need the same volume of storage. Sorry I have an SSD in there but between PGP and the bevy of IT related software that I have to have installed, it's remarkable slow and sluggish at times. And this is with Nvidia graphics. Battery life is lovely as well. It takes longer to bring it out of standby than it does to bring my desktop out of S5

This is in addition to your standard 3 year warranty. In other words, if it fails under normal usage, Intel will replace it under the standard warranty; if it fails while running outside of Intel's specifications, Intel will replace it under the Performance Tuning Protection Plan. The plan pricing and supported processors include: haha this is going to be awesome. The flood gates of stupid will be opened now that people have this kind of safety net.

Hey it's only correctable errors anyway who cares. And ASPM, why would bitcoiners even deal with that. Have any of those guys ever explored using a full-fledged PCIe expansion system? They are pricier than those poo poo dongles but I figured cost was no option to them.

I no longer work for the company, but I'm still not sure how much of that is public or not so apologies on being vague. I just assumed that Paul stepping down was do to Intel missing the mobile boat and being really late to the game. That's just me guessing with no actual information or anything.

Install Gentoo posted:And for what it's worth, for Intel, getting the iPhone SoC contract wouldn't have necessarily guaranteed success in the mobile arena. Not only have there been a lot more other smartphones sold and tablets, but Apple could have switched off of Intel to do chips on their own just like they did with Samsung's ARM CPUs from the original iPhones. I don't believe switching from ARM to ARM isn't quite as big of a deal as switching from x86 to ARM or vice versa, but I could be wrong. It's not an impossible thing to do but you would have had some inertia on your side and Apple hounding your rear end to make a better product that fit their needs. Instead, Apple went off and figured out they are perfectly happy designing their own stuff and got lots of experience doing it. Now Intel has to make something that much more compelling to get Apple to consider switching. quote:As for Intel? No. I don't think it's fair to look back and go "Haha look at those idiots, not getting on on mobile". At the time it wasn't really a profitable market, and at the time I'd wager their forecasts made perfect sense based on prior data. That said, I expect them to make a LOT of headway in the tablet side of the market, myself. Being faster rather than being completely concerned about getting a full day of battery life out of a tiny little battery makes perfect sense for that market - though I expect there'll be chips that'll give ARM some competition on the phone side, too. It wasn't just Apple, it was that and then a train of malaise with lackluster refreshes and stuff like Meego (although I guess Tizen could pan out). I get that mountains had to be moved with a company as big as Intel which is so ingrained in doing and selling things a certain way, but I've always viewed that more of an excuse than a justification.
