I have no idea why. They were find when I made the post. However, I've edited the post so they should be good now.

Well, I have no confidence that either program's benchmark results are correct for writes. Several runs of the same programs writing yield very different results. Reads are pretty consistent. Two runs that were one after another with the larger "bar" 23gB drive. I did eject and reinsert the...

So I decided to measure the Samsung 32gB FIT again today based on your comments that it seemed too fast. I have no idea why the results are different. Yesterday I ran the test on the correct drive letter and had only it plugged into the system so I couldn't have accidentally run the test on...

Is there any way to change the default restart time (from updates)? I know you can have it prompt you for restarts, but I would rather it just restart itself as needed but at say 5AM instead of 3AM. At least I think it currently reboots at 3AM. My Googling didn't turn up a way to change the...

I don't know about exotic, but I suppose. It's all several years old though. I mean they're new, but I'm not using cutting edge hardware that came out in the last year or anything. It's a Haswell based E3 v3 Xeon which has been out for almost 3 years. The particular 10GbE and RAID cards I'm...

ATTO had the Direct I/O box checked which prevents OS level caching. Crystal Disk Mark does the same thing. So, the results should be accurate since the drives certainly don't have the amount of cache needed to throw off the results vs. the size of the data set. Post up your test results...

Here's how the two arrays in the system measure. 10 6TB drive RAID-6 array: 2 4TB drive RAID-1 array:

Probably not. I was just stating what I used to take the measurements.

Yes, the second one is the FIT. Yes, I have both models and took the measurements myself on a Haswell system.

Large? It's certainly shorter and narrower than the typical flash drive for factor. It's designed to be put on a keychain. However, it's smaller sibling basically offers the same performance in a smaller form factor.

FWIW, I was joking. I generally don't get errant packages. Just that hoverboard last year that I sent back...

Not to shabby for a sub $15 USB 3.0 flash drive:

At least once a week. I put them in the trash.

Well, MS isn't on my Christmas card list... The Windows 10 upgrade could be initiated from a USB drive. It didn't seem to care about the graphics card driver. The upgrade went okay at first. I was able to load the Windows 8.1 x64 driver for the graphics "card" without issue. I got drivers...

Yes, that's their claim. :p Maybe I glossed over that point too much, but because the tool tells me my graphics "card" is not compatible with Windows 10, it won't let me do an upgrade leaving a clean install as my only option.

So I have a Window 7 Pro SP1 x64 computer that the little MS tool in systray tells me I can't upgrade to Windows 10 because there's no driver for my graphics "card" (ASPEED AST2300). There is a driver for Windows 8.1 x64, and it should work in Windows 10 (I think). Since the tool isn't going...

There no way this Supermicro chassis will ever be not audible. It's going in the basement so it doesn't have to be silent, just not scream.

Wow, you're good. You didn't even need Google.

I finally put the motherboard in the chassis and plugged it all together. The longest 8 pin CPU cable just barely reached the socket on the motherboard. It is stretched super tight going under part of the CPU heatsink. I need to get an extension cable for it. It's not quiet. It doesn't...

That one I figured out. I had no idea what C2E2 is, but Google cleared it up for me.

That sucks, but you can always Paypal dispute them if they don't pop up in a day or two. You will win for sure, but that would leave you with a 2nd not working system. You could also try contacting Intel and attempt to get a new power distribution module (or whatever it's called) under warranty.

Do we really have to abbreviate everything like we're teens texting?

I'll let you handle that. I'm a sucker for Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies myself.

The good news is I can go edit the Wiki to remove that. :p

:idea: I figured out how to manipulate the Intel temperature thresholds by editing the SDR file and doing an FRUSDR update! It now sits around the 65-70C under 100% load instead of 75-80C. :cool: Edit: I decided to push for another 5C reduction in temps and edited the files further. It worked...

You're going to be in for a bit of a challenge. Standard LGA 2011 heatsinks will fit on the sockets. However, the motherboards may have odd cooling behavior compared to desktops like the Intel board I outlined above. They also tend to have minimum fan RPM thresholds. Supposedly boards with...

I did the same and followed the color coding between the two.

I went back and remeasured under Linux. The power draw numbers were basically the same. No idea why it pulls more power in Windows. The CPUs seem to get hotter in Windows too. I don't get Intel's thermal strategy. Basically they leave the fan RPMs alone until the CPUs get to just over 80C then...

It has an on screen keyboard that you navigate with the arrow keys. It pretty much sucks. I use Yatse to control mine, but I only play audio with it.

The system pulls a lot more power in Windows. Idle is around 125W and under load it's 380W or so with Balanced Prime95. Aside from running Windows, I plugged in an Ethernet cable, and added my GeForce GT720. That can't account for an extra 100W though. The GeForce GT should be idle. It has...

I plugged in the little module to the board. How do I change the password or set up a password? Edit: Nevermind, I got it all working.

MCE receiver plus remote works with the x86 hardware. No idea about the Android HW.

It does not have the narrow ILM. It has the square. In other news I received an AXXRMM4R from OEM XS, not an AXXRMM4 Lite It has the separate board with the NIC. From my quick Googling it appears to be the direct dock version of the AXXRMM4. :scratch: It also has the little plug in "key".

That may not have been what he's asking. He could be asking about a Bluetooth or IR remote.

I set it to the quietest mode the BIOS supports (Acoustic / lowest altitude / etc.) short of the mode that will stop the fans under light loads. The Nidec BETAV fan (upper fan) has a terrible noise characteristic, or at least mine does. The GeForce GT720 is intended to be a hardware...

So I did the math. I think the 3000 RPM makes more sense. However, since I haven't seen the PWM's budge yet I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger. I will see about installing Windows 7 Pro and digging a little more into what it does under load. I also get my RMM4lite iKVM module today so I...

If I keep using the included fans it's going in my basement. However, I'd like to put it in my library. PWM fan controls are supposed to be linear from 20% to 100%. I need to plot the two Noctuas so I can estimate RPM against PWM duty to see about how fast each will spin with the two profiles...

I figured that out when I opened up the case and it got super loud. I put tape over the switch for the sake of testing. I didn't have to do that. Simply saving the settings in the BIOS and letting it go through reset worked for me. I used a bootable USB with the Ultimate Boot CD written to...

I'll believe that when I see it.

Why, Pi day of course.

Almost all of it. It only overhangs the CPU by a few mm on each side.

That depends if you're asking if the exposed material is copper, or if you're asking if the entire base is supposed to be copper. It was shiny chrome looking originally. They put a layer of copper down first during the chrome plating process. When I sanded down the high spots I cut through...

First, don't use the multithreading option in memtest86+. Second, use two matching sticks. My HP Elitebook came with one 8GB stick. I bought an identical matching 2nd stick on eBay and the two work perfectly together.

I'm not sure what you mean. It was perfectly shiny and smooth when I got it. It just wasn't flat. It's now very flat, but a bit ugly looking.

Definitely the former.

I use Weather Underground myself. :D

I'm pretty sure my neighbors will know when I turn on this Intel dual processor chassis. Holy crap is it loud firing up. It was stuck at full power for a while while I floundered trying to make sense of a post on STH on updating the various components. After figuring out the post linked to...

So my Thermalright True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A wasn't flat on the bottom. It would noticeably rock on both my E5-2670 and the replacement E5-2689. When I removed it from the E5-2670 I could tell from the distribution of the thermal compound it wasn't in tight contact with the entire cpu. So, I...

I knew it!!! The site slowdowns are caused by thunderstorms! :bstd:

But what happens when the weather is bad? Does the site go down? ;)
