Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The 1600Mhz RAM has XMP but I haven't enabled it yet:
I think I will stick with the 16GB but keep the 8GB and install them again in case I need more ram in the future.
Thanks, so the question is: is 24GB 1333Mhz better than 16GB 1600Mhz ?
The higher frequency makes almost no difference in applications, and the extra 8GB RAM I'm not that likely to use. I use quite a lot of RAM because I tend to multitask a lot, but I don't think I'd go over 16GB.
So I have 2x4GB ram at 1333Mhz and I decided to upgrade to 2x8GB 1600Mhz.
Just to test, I put both sets in, each in it's own dual channel, and it seems to be working fine, except for the whole thing working at 1333Mhz, which was expected. I did some benchmarks and I can't see the performance...
Hello, I want to identify the type of defect that this is.
The monitor is Dell P2414H, IPS LED
At first it looks like a dead pixel, but upon close inspection it looks like it just has reduced brightness:

So the standard AHCI Windows 7 driver has high CPU interrupts (25-30%) while doing a high IOPS activity.
The newest AMD AHCI driver has 30% Interrupts at all times.
The fairly old AMD AHCI driver from the motherboard's website has 2-3% interrupts max, but unless I check "Turn off Windows write...
So I have an 850 Evo 120GB running on a SATA 2 AMD system with AHCI and a fairly old chipset (760G) on Windows 7 64 bit.
The IOPS are around 30k and the top speeds are about 250MB/s which is fine by me (SATA 2 after all), assuming everything else works fine. The drive is about 65% full. TRIM is...
A few times every day or just on some days 2-3 times and on others no restart at all ? If it was bad capacitors it would have failed by now. I think it's a software problem.
Also do you have an Nvidia GPU with DVI ? Does anyone with an AMD GPU have this issue ?
So I'm guessing all 900 series chipsests have poor core unlocking support.
Problem is, all I can find is either 970/990FX/990X or 760G. I know form experience that 760G supports unlocking, but all 760G boards I can find are crappy mATX HTPC boards with 2 RAM slots and 1 or 2 PCI-E slots.
