Okay schuck, be mysterious and give me no preview of what I'm clicking on. Challange accepted .

Presumably Display Driver Uninstaller. This serious issue was a simple fix... Here's how! - YouTube. The developer even posts in the comments of the video

I have an AE rather than EE degree so take this with a grain of salt, but in general "chassis" grounds are a safety based "best practice" to avoid "unforeseen/unintended" consequences of electrical devices in both "normal" and "failed" modes of operation. Will the system be fine without that terminal properly connected? Probably. Is the amount of money you have invested in the components in proximity to this power supply sufficiently low enough to make you comfortable with "probably"?

Chassis Ground (for reference power supply - Specific Questions Regarding Use of Regulated Switching Supplies - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange).

100%. Prosumers would doubtless find a way to cool it. My question arose more from a "why isn't this already a thing" frame of mind, and I suspect you are correct regarding Intel's plans. It leaves them with another card to play if 5800X3D turns out to be something other than the total dumpster fire DOA product it currently looks like to me.

Yes, but you'll know its down there...lurking....

It sounds like long term, this is a "best practice".

As someone who has twice updated the display driver since my initial boot last year, I keep wondering if I should perform a DDU before getting serious about wasting time in Time Spy .

Too lazy this morning to do the research and math myself. If we remove those two e-core clusters of 4 and replace them with 2 full p-cores, does peak power go up or down?

Toothpick + patience + flat black in a spray can = all better .

Flirting with Intel gives Nvidia leverage with TSMC/Samsung if nothing else.

@Outsider if you need to vent, feel free to curse me for my newbish stupidity here . It's okay, I've got my "big boy" panties on .

Of those 5 SATA devices, how many are running directly of the chipset? I want to think on many of my older platforms, I could only run 4 devices off the chipset and the other two were always a different color plug that ASUS had hooked up to an "add-on" controller of some sort. This was all team blue though.

Part one of an excellent 4-part series. I have watched it at least twice, but the finer points always fade with time.

I did install new firmware for my M28U when I purchased it, but I haven't checked since. Thank you for the reminder.

So far above my pay grade that I just have no frame of reference to even form an opinion around.

Sometimes (okay, pretty much 100% of the time), I struggle to understand the finer points of Veii's comments, but I believe he confirmed that the changes in AMD's AGESA after 1203_patchC have all been in preparation for the release of the 5800X3D and making sure those chips don't fry themselves. As users of the ROG C8DH, this means for maximum performance we want to stick with BIOS 3801 or older if possible (J7 runs 3501 if memory serves). I have seen comments to the affect that B2 stepping CPU's benefit from changes in the newer AGESAs, but I am not well versed enough on this score to express an opinion either way. Veii also seems to imply the AGESA 1207 will possibly exhibit improvements for the non-3D VCache Ryzen 5000 CPUs without the downsides of the all the recent releases. Here's hoping .

Veii dropped some interesting "nuggets" in [Official] AMD Ryzen DDR4 24/7 Memory Stability Thread | Page 904 | Overclock.net today. I'd begin reading at about post 18,061 page 904 if you have not been following this thread. I thought this might be helpful as you make a decision regarding what BIOS you wish to roll with.

thank you for the clarification, I suppose many parties feared the "licenses" were about to get a lot more expensive, if available at all

I was under the impression that most of the pushback to the idea of Nvidia acquiring ARM was centered around fears that ARM would progressively become less open source after the proposed acquisition.

Not earth shattering, but I found it interesting that a better version of EPYC may help improve some of AMD's other products. I found the entire video highly entertaining and informative.

I guess I'm not the only one who got an email stock notification then, and they didn't last long. Sorry I wasn't quicker with the post here.

Not sure this is the best place for this, but Titan Rig has a handful of High Flow Next's in stock if anyone has been hunting for one.

This is actually for work rather than personal. It's not unusual for us to have customers with older "power-shift" tractors that will exhibit intermittent failures of the transmission control unit. Often, the culprit will turn out to be the PWM solenoid driver ICs inside the TCU case. The stereotypical symptoms are the tractor operating correctly for an hour or two until the system reaches an elevated temperature and the driver chips fall on their face. My plan is to try some TG-PP-10 as an "emergency in the field band-aid" in the hopes of keeping the unit rolling during the critical parts of the planting season, and we can implement a more permanent repair when "up-time" is less of a concern.
