    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    Wouldn't synchronizing UCLK to FCLK deliver better performance?

    Question What kind of motherboards do you like?

    Yes! This image brings me good memories! The nForce2 IGP ran hot as well! I was unable to run it at 400MHz DDR when using the integrated GF2, only with a video card on the AGP slot. Another thing was that this mobo had no VDIMM adjustment, only way was to volt mod. Because of that I was always...

    Question What kind of motherboards do you like?

    That's interesting. I haven't tried extensively with this current combo. Using my older TeamGroup 2x16GB Samsung b-die CL14 kit I remember couple games I tested and y-cruncher were slightly faster at 3800MHz CL14 than 3733MHz. Maybe I didn't tight timings enough? Anyways, this 2x32GB kit won't...

    Question What kind of motherboards do you like?

    Over my life time building PCs the boards I liked most and miss. Gigabyte GA-5AX - Super Socket7 Alladin V chipset. Super stable board and fun to play with. My first MB with an AGP slot Shuttle MN31/N - Socket A nForce2 IGP. I overclocked and modded everything possible here. Had an Applebred...

    New PCIe Gen 5 SSDs

    Tom's did a preview of the E28 controller. Not bad, specially the power consumption: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/phison-e28-2tb-ssd-review

    New PCIe Gen 5 SSDs

    There are some number from StorageReview and it seems to be competitive with Samsung's 9100Pro but slower than the SN8100.

    New PCIe Gen 5 SSDs

    The P51 seems more expensive than the WD SN8100 currently and its NAND is slower on paper. Need to wait for reviews to be sure. There's some chance Phison E28 drives later this year will be even faster than the current wave of SMI2508. But it's good to finally have alternatives and be able to...

    Question Hyped for the 9070XT

    HWINFO64 lists 340W TBP for my Taichi with the default BIOS. Haven't checked the Silent BIOS power limit.

    Question V-ray 6 / Corona benchmarks

    It was using a different Linux install/kernel. First entry was running on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and second entry on Gentoo with custom Xanmod kernel.

    Discussion Google Tensor SoC thread

    I would love to replace my Pixel 8 because battery drain on the road is really bad. Any basic usage eats battery, the chip efficiency is really bad. But at these prices I will definitely wait for Tensor's TSMC version...

    Discussion Zen 5 Builders thread

    Are there any good high performance 2x64GB kits yet? I am looking forward to the 9950X but still unsure if I will buy it or keep my Zen3 for a little longer until the X3D comes out

    Discussion Speculation: Zen 4 (EPYC 4 "Genoa", Ryzen 7000, etc.)

    I am not convinced they would add V-Cache for both CCDs but one can dream. Would be a nod to the old 939 Opterons and their 1MB L2 vs the entry Athlon X2 3800+ of that time. I run a 5750G with an AsrockRack board as a home server and it's quite capable and stable little machine! Few years down...

    Question NVME / U.2 vs U.3 / Cheap NVME high capacity

    What about power consumption? Do these U2/U3 drives have proper ASPM going into low power states?
