PC LOAD LETTER posted:Just make sure your installers do a good job on keystone termination. And on the drain install. My installers messed up both (apparently they'd never dealt with CAT6a or any shielded stuff before?!) so I had to go and redo all of mine. Was very time consuming at first but after the first 5-6 it got fairly easy. Works great now. CAT6a comes in unshielded as well as outer shielded and individual pairs shielded. MOST people's home use should be fine with Cat6a unshielded, but I guess you can never go wrong with future proofing a little.

SourKraut posted:Not being confrontational and I don’t want to sidetrack the thread, but relative to? Pretty much everything in the 2007-2008 period was relative steaming piles of poo poo, and all of the first and second generation “smartphones” had strengths and weaknesses. A number of (lovely) Android smartphones were even coming in at a higher price than the second and third generations of iPhone. I am sure that this will become a massive derail, but at launch the first generation iPhone: as 2g only did not have GPS could not send MMS could not record video did not have apps could not multitask could not copy and paste was only available on 1 carrier in the US did not have expandable storage (and the max storage you could get was 8GB) did not have a calendar could not update the OS over the air (no OTA updates)* required iTunes on a PC or Mac to even set up did not have a front facing camera could not get email from exchange or lotus email servers cost $500 for 4GB and $600 for 8GB and still required a 2 year contract on top of that By comparison, Windows mobile phones that were available at the time of the iPhones launch did not have any of the same shortcomings. Now, I am not saying Windows Mobile was good, because it was not. And the iPhone had a much better user interface, and in most cases bettery battery life than other phones available at the time. But it was missing practically ever feature that you would have said a smartphone needed to have be called a smartphone, even at the time. * I am not 100% sure that Windows Mobile did OTA updates, but I am leaving this on the list.

The fact that it had a touch screen UI that was designed to be used by a finger instead of a stylus, a click wheel, or a 5 way button was a pretty big feature. Also that it had a pretty good capacitive touch screen sensor and could do multi touch was also very impressive. The browser was good for the time, especially when compared to the standard WAP browser a lot of phones had. But other smartphones had real browsers like Opera. But then again, one of the iPhones selling points was that their good browser was built in and was the default (it just works). Windows Mobile you had to go download some 3rd party app to add the usability that you needed.

FaustianQ posted:Yeah, it's absolute garbage and it's just mindblowing they think it's acceptable. It's also in a 35W configuration, so it's basically running below UHD 630 performance. It's super dumb and I can't figure out how they think it'll sell at that price. To be special it'd need to somehow fully use the IMC to feed the 512 GCN3 ALUs, it'd have to be capable of running both DDR4 and GDDR5 simultaneously, and it'd need an adequate cooling solution to run at full speed. Instead it's just an obnoxiously expensive, underpowered toy. I wanted to chime in on this as say that I was a backer of their previous x86/arduino hybrid board, and they missed their ship date by 9 or 9 months, they didn't have some of the advertised features working like HDMI CEC (still not working completely correct), and their customer service is really really bad. My unit shipped without the screws for acrylic case that was included and it took them 7 months to even ship them (despite being repeatedly told that they had already shipped them or would that day). I know many other users had to wait months to get the antennas for their wifi modules. Basically, I wouldn't trusty these clowns to deliver what they promise or on time.

Truga posted:hell yeah super orb That brings back memories. I used Orbs on every build I did there for a few years. But My favorite fan/heatsink combo was the Vantec VA4C7040 Aeroflow Heatsink.  The fan was tip magnetic driven.  They claimed that with out the motor being under the fan, there would be less of an air "shadow" and that the air flow would be better and quieter. In practice, it was decent, but not silent. But it was the torq-iest loving fan I have ever had and I made the mistake of putting my finger in it once while it was running. It went to the bone.

A couple of PCIe questions: Have they shown any kind of block diagram of how the PCIe lanes connect to the CPU cores? Do they go to the CPU chiplets or to the memory controller die? I saw that they are going to be 16+4+4 lanes: graphics slot, M.2 slot, and mobo chipset/peripherals. Can PCIe 4.0 run in mixed mode? ie: Can you use a 3.0 GPU and a 4.0 M.2 drive at the same time at their native speeds?

Unfortunately, that picture doesn't show if the PCIe lanes go to the CCX chiplets or to the memcontroller. I am curious how PCIe bandwidth works on the CPUs with more than one CCX die. Also, that image is misleading/wrong. It shows the 4x chipset downlink on both sides of the CPU. Lowen SoDium fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jun 11, 2019 |

Can anyone explain to me why the 3960x and 3970x lose to the 3950x in some game benchmarks? On paper, the 3970x should be at least as good at any task as the 3950x.

Cygni posted:Single core turbo frequency is very slightly higher on the 3950x. So things that favor frequency over lots of cores (like games) still like 3950x very slightly more. It is in the neighborhood of a couple hundred mhz difference. Ah, I had missed that when comparing. I thought that the boost clock was the same and that the base clock was higher on the 3970x. That makes a bit more sense.

Cygni posted:I sorta remember it being a confluence of Creative putting Aureal out of business and killing 3D audio, Creatives drivers becoming bloated and unusable, and “sufficient” audio implementations of AC97 getting integrated into south bridges setting the stage for nobody bothering anymore. I guess you could say it was really just CPUs getting powerful enough to do audio in software as a side project, really. Aureal was awesome and I will never forgive Creative for killing them. Creative sued Aureal over some patents or something and Aureal actually won in court, but the court cost bankrupted them. Creative then bought Aureal and shitcanned all of their products, tech, and APIs. It's sad because A3D was so much more advanced than EAX.

Paul MaudDib posted:out of curiosity, have you tried using ECC UDIMMs on it, and have you verified that it comes up in linux as reporting ECC support? the predecessor to this board was one that someone here on SA reported that while it was booting with ECC sticks, it wasn't showing as actually having correction capabilities enabled. Obviously maybe they were doing something wrong - it is bizarre that a server-segment board that advertises ECC as a feature, wouldn't actually do it. Yes, I am using ECC memory on it with a 3950x CPU. If this is accurate, then ECC is working: root@Unraid:~# dmidecode -t memory # dmidecode 3.3 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 3.3.0 present.

power crystals posted:Really what I'd wish we'd see board makers do once PCIe 5 GPUs become a thing is switch to 8x GPU slots since PCIe 5x8 is basically the same as PCIe 4x16 and that already seems like more than enough, use the other half of the slot's normal lanes for two m.2 slots, and the x4 that used to go to the original CPU m.2 for four PCIe 5x1 slots for things like network cards or USB controllers or whatever other random crap you could want to add as even a x1 link in gen 5 is way faster than most peripherals would ever need. At least unless either Intel or AMD finally give desktop chips more than the absolute minimum number of PCIe lanes off the CPU. When SLI was a thing, this was more or less what you were doing when you put anything in the second slot. GPUs where perfectly fine at running at 8x lanes.
