    Motorola Signature 27

    Confirmed to support GrapheneOS! While I was sad to see OnePlus exit North America, this is a spiritual successor. 6000mah si/c battery with 90w charging + true flagship specs. 7 years of updates, unlockable bootloader + GrapheneOS support and still having a physical SIM slot is the cherry on...

    A replacement for my LG V35 ThinQ Smartphone, GSM Unlocked?

    What's your budget? Despite being from 2018, the V35 ThinQ is still significantly better than the A14. OLED screen with higher PPI and Snapdragon 845 stomps on the LCD screen and bargain bin MediaTek or Exynos chips (not sure which variant gets sold). I get you don't want a super phone, but...

    What general kind of audio setup do you have on your main computer?

    Used to have Swan M10 speakers but got rid of them forever ago. Now I only use headphones. Sennheiser HD 800 S (Oratory1990 EQ preset) through an AudioGD NFB-11.38 Performance Edition DAC/Amp.

    Any reason you shouldn't use XMP RAM on an AM5 build?

    Memory QVL is a bunch of nonsense and not even worth checking. Memory controller is on the processor and has been for a long time. All (or the vast vast vast majority of) AM5 CPUs should be able to handle two sticks at 6000MHz with basically no tweaking. It still comes down to silicon lottery...

    WTB: Long shot, want to buy a legit 10G network card

    https://www.amazon.com/Controller-NICGIGA-Ethernet-NIC-Windows10/dp/B0D87439N7/ Been using this over a year now with no issues. Way lower power than buying an older used enterprise 10GbE NIC, and way cheaper than buying a new enterprise NIC. The X540 chipset came out in 2012, has high power...

    Home Router Recommendations . . .

    MikroTik RB750Gr3. Has time based firewall rules, a full REST API, and does TLS Host matching which would bypass the DNS caching issue you're mentioning.

    Amazon price and return

    This happened to me, I live chatted Amazon and they first told me they couldn't do anything. I pushed a little and was able to get the item difference credited (it was like $200 on an elliptical type thing). If they won't budge yea I would 100% order another one and return the one you got.

    Which m.2 with which machine?

    UD90 in the 3rd PC for sale. I don't trust Silicon Power NVME, I had a P34A80 fail with very minimal usage. Your choice on the other two. For real world usage there isn't much difference between PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 IMHO.

    ASRock confirms their motherboards are frying some 9800X3D CPUs

    Asrock is killing way more 9800X3D than any other board manufacturer. And I'm not defending them. But there are failures on any board vendor with that chip. I would personally save money and get a 7800X3D and any motherboard you want. Get a better cooler and go more aggressive on PBO. Sleep...

    Pixel 10 / Pixel 10 Pro / Pixel 10 XL

    Each Exynos modem since the 6 got slightly better. But I've compared the 9 Pro XL to the Snapdragon X70 / X75 found in the OP11 / OP12 and it's still a good bit worse. Easily 2 - 5dB worse signal holding the phones in the exact same spot, and this translates to actually dropping signal in...

    Wi Fi range question

    I second this if line of sight is no issue. One of the cheapest ways to get in would probably be two Mikrotik SXTsq Lite2 (about $40 a pop). They only have 10/100 Mb Ethernet but would work great across 300ft and get you pretty close to that 100 Mbps reliably.

    ASRock confirms their motherboards are frying some 9800X3D CPUs

    Look at that reddit link, there are a few other reports of 9950X3D deaths. I have no idea why, but there were never large scale reports on 7xxx3D. I suspect it could be something to due with either the redesigned cache location or bad AGESA from AMD, that is agitated more from ASRock aggressive...

    ASRock confirms their motherboards are frying some 9800X3D CPUs

    Allegedly fixed in the latest BIOSes, but I don't trust it. To be honest I don't even trust the 9800X3D at all, there are reports on every board vendor of deaths. I'm not defending Asrock here, because they seem to kill them at an even larger scale like probably 50x - 100x more reports on them...

    Best motherboard (as in build quality) youve ever gotten

    DFI UT X58-T3eH8 The Volterra VRM!!! The heatsink with SB connected to NB and the "racing spoiler" for the VRM. Onboard power/reset and POST code. Doesn't get any better than that for me.

    question about hdd firmware

    https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/hacking-wd-greens-and-reds-with-wdidle3-exe.18171/ That wdidle3 utility should work, load it up on a DOS bootable and do "wdidle3 /d" and it should prevent it from disconnecting. IntelliPark was often used on those drives and would park read/write...

    Never going back ATX

    Give it a few years and 10GbE will be mainstream on mini-ITX thanks to the Realtek RTL8127. So if you could just be willing to switch to RJ45 it could happen lol

    AMD Ryzen 10000 series - general discussion

    GamerNerves It doesn't matter the date of the article, that was a direct statement from AMD. Look at the existing CPU support for A620 boards. Can you find a single one that isn't validated for the 9950X / 9950X3D? I don't think it exists. If it can support that high of a TDP chip (even if...

    AMD Ryzen 10000 series - general discussion

    AMD reaffirmed its commitment to using the same sockets for many years by announcing that AM5 will continue to see new Ryzen processors for another three years, to 2027, and beyond. I fully believe that Zen 6 will be compatible with all existing AM5 motherboards. Maybe even Zen 7 but that is...

    What's the best X870E motherboard for under $500?

    6000MHz CL30 is Hynix and that will work just dandy. Memory QVL is largely irrelevant these days for regular RAM.

    Choosing from a gazillion choices

    So you can compare kits at the same frequency/timings and generally which one has the lower voltage will be better. If you want to really dive in, try to find out what ICs the kit is using. 3200MHz C16 kits are usually Hynix CJR / DJR, Micron B / E, or Samsung C / D / A / E. Some ICs are...

    64GB DDR5 struggle with their XMP/EXPO profiles?

    2 x 32GB or even 2 x 48GB is fine. It's only when you start running 4 DIMMs you run into more major frequency limitations. Like if you're going for extreme extreme speed then yea single rank might clock a little higher but 6000MHz or even 6400Mhz (with minor tweaking) should always be doable...

    Xeon Compatibility with ECS H81H3-M4 Motherboard (e.g., Xeon E3-1270 v3)

    https://www.ecs.com.tw/he/Product/Motherboard/H81H3-M4/support Without looking at the supported CPU page I would say no it shoudn't support any Xeons. But ECS lists the E3-1231 v3 on the supported CPUs page (without a validated BIOS version????) so it might. No ECC support though.
