It seems like it is stable at 1.38v, but I don't mind running some additional tests to make sure of it... "I've run both (HCI/P95) at the same time" How did you do this practically? Both Prime95 and HCI are designed to use ALL your RAM. Should I start HCI 24 times (because I have 24 threads)...

That's the weird thing... I could boot to Windows and run Prime95 blend (which also does a pretty good job testing memory I thought?) for many hours without any signs of instability. It was only when booting after a BIOS F10 that it would often hang...

I just tried increasing the RAM voltage from 1.35v to 1.38v and rebooted succesfully from BIOS about 5 times. So it certainly seems to help... Next I'll try to play with this setting a bit more, to see which is the minimum that is stable and then set about 2 0.01v steps higher than that, to make...

I certainly appreciate the advice and don't question it. I was just wondering if there were perhaps less "invasive" alternatives than increasing the voltage "in all situations, even when it isn't really required".

Thanks, but isn't there a way to "fix" the issues by only changing (like increasing voltage) something during POST? Because when in the OS, everything seems rocksolid stable, no? I agree slightly bumping voltages probably isn't a disaster, but it will slightly decrease lifespan and I'd like to...

Hi everyone, I've just replaced my 32GB RAM with 64GB RAM, but I'm having some trouble I was hoping you guys can help me with... Below my hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT Boxed MSI MEG X570 UNIFY (latest non-beta BIOS 7C35vAA) ASRock Radeon RX 5700 Challenger D 8G OC Fractal Design Define R6 USB-C...

fyi: It seems like the root cause was a broken CPU. After replacing the CPU (first temporarily with my desktops Ryzen, later by RMAing it for a new Ryzen 3600), the problems are gone. So the problem was not caused by TrueNAS <-> AMD incompatibility. Although perhaps not perfect, my experience...

Thanks again for your good feedback! The case temp is monitored by a sensor on the motherboard. It's called "Card Side Temp" in the IPMI, so I suppose it is close to some PCI-e slot. I suppose you are correct that my case airflow is indeed not perfect. As I'm indeed using low pressure / low...

Thanks a lot for the very correct feedback! However, in this case, I think, it may be a slightly different situation... My case temp is 31°C (2x 140mm intake fans, very obstructed by HDDs, and 1x, unobstructed, 140mm outtake fan), so case temp is ok, but airflow that reaches the motherboard is...

Here is the end result after the mod: I've used a stock Intel CPU cooler like this I used a Dremel to saw off the bottom part of the fins (so that it doesn't touch the PCI-e slot) I've bend the fins a little to so the bolt fits in between I used some washers from an old watercooling set (AMD...

After a lot of patience, soaking with cotton pads and rubbing, here is the result: Thanks for the feedback!

Hi all, I think my current HBA (Dell H310) might be broken, as my ZFS pool is constantly getting corrupted data. Although it is actively cooled (by a 1000rpm 120mm fan at 7 cm distance), I can't think of any other reason than that heat has caused it to die in less than a year. As these HBAs are...

Aha, it seems like the soaking with IPA is VERY slowly starting to have effect (on the chip at least). I was going to try to put an old CPU heatsink on it, so the original heatsink doesn't matter much if it stays dirty...

I've just put a soaked cotton pad on it for 5 minutes and the extremely thin leftovers on the chip don't even come off a little bit... It has zero effect at all... Again, I don't think this is alcohol based... IPA has zero effect on this... It seems a bit like a thermal pad (as it pretty thick...

Does anyone know how to remove this kind of thermal compound? 99% Isopropyl Alcohol has no effect at all on this, so I guess it isn't alcohol based...

I just installed Windows 8.1 on another SSD and so far everything seems to work as it should... all controllers (ICH10R, Marvell 9128 and Gigabyte SATA 2 show their HDDs in the safe removal window and are not locked when removing them. Also when attaching a new HDD to the controller it gets...

Just tried to find the locking app with "msconfig"... First I tried to disable all non-MS services and startup items, but that did not help Then I tried to disable everything (= diagnostic startup), but that did not help either As it does work in Windows Safe Mode, there must be a difference...

WhoLockMe does not support Windows 7, does not support x64 and has been out of support since 2009. I would love to hear if someone knows a tool that actually works...

Thanks for the tip! I just tried turning off MS Defender. It did not help... :( I also tried killing as much processes as possible. I could not find the locking process... :( Then I tried rebooting in safe mode, just to figure if it is at all possible and YES, in Safe Mode I can safely remove...

nobody can help with either of my 2 questions?

Intro Hi, I've been trying to get Hot Swap/Plug SATA working for a while now. I have a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 rev 1.0 MOBO, with multiple onboard storage controllers. I have the latest non-beta drivers/BIOS/Firmware of everything. This MOBO contained a bracket which simply converts 2 SATA ports...

6 of them will be in RAID5, the remaining 5 are for an offline backup

I bought 11 of them about 2 weeks ago. 1 DOA. Failed the extended self test and immediately had reallocated sectors. Exchanged this one for a working one in meanwhile Just completed testing them all... 1) They have TLER set to 7 seconds (= ok) 2) They have head parking enabled at 300 seconds...

Thanks for the tip... I have just rebuild my 2TB array, so if they hold out a little longer I'll probably postpone buying till after Christmas, when prices hopefully go down a bit...

Just received back the following from LSI... Not very helpful... :/ But thanks A LOT for the useful info dave99 and hardware_failure!! I might give them a try then... I'll buy 10... 6 for in RAID 5 and 4 as an offline backup / spare / future expansion. They will be replacing my 8x 2TB Seagate...

Not sure what to believe now... When I called WD they explicitly told me that IntelliPower means that the rpm varies between 5400 and 7200 rpm and that this was the most important thing that the RAID controller must support. They told me I should ask for that at LSI (who could not answer this...

Does anyone know if the LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i support the WD Red line? More specifically the 4TB one (WD40EFRX). I guess the most special thing about the WD Red is the Intellipower (variable rpm of the HDD). According to Anandtech, they do support TLER (default at 7 sec), so they should be fine...

it seems the F8 BIOS has solved all my issues I havent had a crash after hours of gaming

Gigabyte just replied to my issue and coincidentally released bios F8 2 days ago... I just tried that bios and F8 actually did solve the issue with Adobe Flash... Since the issue with heavy 3D is a lot harder to trigger, I don't know yet if that one is solved as well I'll keep you informed

bad news again... Yesterday, as promised, I played some more Starcraft 2... This time, after about 1,5 hours, issue nr2 occurred :( The image got corrupted for about 5 seconds, so I closed Starcraft 2, checked "Event Viewer" and again event 4101 had occurred. I proceeded playing after that...

After some months of testing (including pulling the SATA cable, reinserting it, rebuilding the array, while running a large file copy + running Bart Stuff Test + running DVD Decrypter all at the same - if that isn't stress testing... ;)) I think I can safely say that the Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB...

So far I havent been able to reproduce issue nr2 anymore... Yesterday I played a little more than 1 hour of Starcraft 2 without issues. Tonight I'll play some more Starcraft 2 on different output ports, followed by some Furmark, to see if the issue is really non-existend... Issue nr1 still...

no one here who has this videocard?

I always run with the latest non-beta bios / drivers / software So I've had F7 for more than a month now... Thanks for the tip though.

Hi all, I've been having trouble with my Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD. I already tested it in all possible ways (even in a different computer) and recently send it back to the shop for RMA. Yesterday I received the replacement card and guess what... It still has the same problems... :( I would...

I second that request! want to buy this controller for 4 Seagate Barracuda LPs of 1,5TB

wow if everyone has this, then I wonder how tft central could actually say that srgb works... loosing this much detail (even i noticed it :p) in dark pieces, isn't really an option for anyone i think....

i've just been trying the srgb mode vs standard looking with some pictures and i notice the image seems darker and detail is lost in dark pieces anyone notice this too? i have brightness at 30% and contrast at 50%

hi all, I'm having trouble getting my u2410 to work together with my Panasonic G10 Plasma... This is my setup: WinXP 32bit XFX GForce 6600GT with 2x DVI U2410 attached via DVI Panasonic G10 Plasma via DVI to HDMI Adapter + HDMI cable All the below is with the Plasma not powered...

wondering the same thing actually... I'm from .BE and we have the same ridiculous price here (955 dollar - 670 euro) please let us know the trick...
