    Slow OpenVPN on Lenovo laptop

    Found a fix. Adding line shown below to OpenVPN config fixes the issue. I don't know if the buffer value is very high or if tweaking the value can improve things further but the connection speed is satisfactory following addition of this line. rcvbuf 393216

    Slow OpenVPN on Lenovo laptop

    Hi, I'm running into a peculiar issue while on VPN connection using OpenVPN on a Lenovo laptop. Lenovo laptop is T560. Using OpenVPN config file provided by my VPN provider. Tested on Ubuntu and Windows 7 using laptop Wifi, laptop LAN and dongle LAN. Tested the same OpenVPN config on different...

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    It appears I posted to hastily. At 6:40 AM local time I did receive a response basically congratulating me on a job well done finding the datasheet, because they were too lazy to do so themselves, and confirming that based on said datasheet my CPU does support Unbuffered ECC and that I should...

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    No follow up response from AMD. Either to proud to admit mistake, don't care or perhaps my e-mail didn't reach them somehow. I am surprised that AMD tech support would be this clueless about their own products. (I know, these people are probably outsourced to the lowest bidder and don't care...

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    Asus tech responded saying things which to me indicate he/she completely failed at reading comprehension. Did not address a single of my questions and went on talking about things that are related but don't address a single of my issues. AMD tech responded saying that my CPU does not support...

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    Aida shows ECC in both cases, on/off in BIOS.

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    Installed Sisoft Sandra. Under "Computer Overview", when ECC is enabled in BIOS this screen shows ECC in multiple locations. Like: Chipset -> Memory Controller, Computer -> Total Memory and Memory Modules -> Memory Module When I turn ECC off in BIOS, ECC is nowhere to be seen in "Computer...

    Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD Phenom II x6 1100T = no ECC support?

    I just bought (Kingston Server Memory w/TS Model KVR16E11K4/32 - Newegg.com) hoping to add ECC memory to my server. Server is running Asus Crosshair V Formula with AMD Phenom II x6 1100T CPU. MB states it supports ECC. Phenom II I believe should support ECC, right? Yet CPU-Z is not showing...

    Did I put too much paste?

    Air flow is far from perfect. In: Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM @ 1200 RPM when idle. Bottom front. The fan is restricted on the intake and blow side. On the blow side there is a hard drive cage right next to it with two hard drives. Basically I barely feel any air reaching past...

    Did I put too much paste?

    Getting some more data... My place is very dusty. I noticed that the radiator had quite a bit of dust buildup so I cleaned it. A safe conclusion I think, is that this action has brought the temps down by around 2C. Prior to HS dusting: 24.6C ambient lead to 74C temp with 75C peak. After...

    Did I put too much paste?

    Yes, it would probably be best that the 'X' was not broken, that way the paste would just spread outwards instead of partially inwards to cover the broken areas. As for all of heat generation being in the center, T4 is a perfect example that it just does not work for me. T4 shows probably...

    Did I put too much paste?

    Updated my experiment. Added T3 (formerly T2) results after running for little over 3 weeks. Added T4 and the current T5.

    Did I put too much paste?

    evilsofa, I think that is the best way to go about it and it's what I'm doing right now. Maybe next week I'll try an 'X' application, three weeks later maybe I'll try a spread application. I think different coolers and paste might require different CPU surface coverage percentage for optimal...

    Did I put too much paste?

    Ok, updated first post with two additional applications of paste and updated initial picture to include pictures after HS removal. Observations. Looks like the more the paste covers the CPU the better the cooling. Looks like the higher the pump liquid temp the better the heat transfer and...

    Did I put too much paste?

    I haven't OC it yet, letting MB work automatically. How low can vCore go to maintain 4.4 GHz (max)? I will be reapplying paste shortly (today).
