This is probably more of a usb question than SSD, but I'll start here...
So I have a new x570 motherboard, which has 'USB 3.2 Gen 1' and 'USB 3.2 Gen 2' outputs...
I have a Maiwo Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 to M.2 external device, with a 512GB M.2 drive in it.
I got a USB Type-C to Type-A 3.1 Gen 1 Cable...

Ahhh... very interesting...
So I'm guessing that my Ryzen 7 3700X would not be considered an "early Ryzen chip" ??
anyway, I don't have any complaints, but I appreciate having some insight into what is going on there...
In the Amazon listing that I will include here, for:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
or
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V for AMD Ryzen Black
there is a little pull-down menu, labeled...
Okay, that's good... I understand... Thank you for the info on the JEDEC DDR4 standard, that's something that I didn't know *anything* about!!
Also, I just ran Sandra memory benchmarks, and it confirms that memory is running at 3200Mhz (yeah, I know that the actual clock is half that!! :)...
Oh, interesting...
Yes, I also found a site that talked about the BIOS setting in AI Tweaker... I went there, and set that DRAM speed to 3200Mhz... supposedly that is all that is required??
The motherboard manual actually hinted at this; under Memory, it has this entry (shown in included image)...
I am confused about what speed my DRAM is, in my new system...
motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)
cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
memory: 4*8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16
Both Amazon and Corsair say that this memory is PC4-25600/DDR4-3200,
but now that I have them installed, both HWINFO64...
Just as a final follow-up, I've been playing M&M6, which loads the cpu pretty thoroughly... Now, with this technique implemented, and iCue actually acting on cpu temperature, I'm running a steady 45C with the game running; previously, it was going up to high 50s... I realize that this supposedly...
BTW, is there some way that I can mark this thread as *solved* ?? Many boards encourage that, and my issue *is* solved... but I don't see any 'solved' button...
One of the problems that I had with this upgrade...
well, there were *two* problems...
1. I had abandoned doing my own system builds many years ago... every time I tried to replace core hardware in the past (15+ years ago), I ended up with a couple of days of real headaches, and when things...
NO!! I got it!! The Sensor label above the graph, is a pull-down menu... one of the options is 'AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Package' ... Once I select that, it is looking at the cpu temps, supposedly...
Okay, let me experiment with this for awhile... sadly, the 'temp' field is still showing coolant...
*am* I using an old version? I have 3.37.140...
When I click on the three-line icon next to any of those four objects, I get two options: 'Unpin from dash' and 'Pin to space'. Selecting either of those, does not do anything visible on my machine!!!
Damn, I feel like I'm operating in the wrong...
I think I'm missing something here... These are the settings that I'm using now... but it doesn't change the fact that the temp that they are showing on the right, are *still* coolant temps, not cpu temps... and that 29.70C that they are showing, is *well* below the 45C that the other programs...
Wow... well, your input is certainly more credible than the other was!!
But, I still would much prefer that it look at cpu temp for its decisions... how do I do that?? I don't see any way to get there...
My previous system was i7-3820, 32GB RAM, Gigabyte MB, Corsair H100i Pro RGB cooler, CorsairLink software. I was *stunned* with how effective this system was for cooling!! I set the cooling curve for 0% at 20C, 50% at 40C, 100% at 60C. This worked great; the system sat at around 30C when...
