I don't think most blu-ray players are intended to stand on edge (assuming that's what your cryptic comment is about).

Ugh... I like graphs, not some craptacular spreadsheet of data.

No, I figured it out though. :idea: You have to change EIST and all those power saving things to enabled instead of Auto. Apparently it assumes that if you're running 1600MHz memory you don't want them enabled so there Auto = off. With 1333MHz memory Auto = on. :bstd:

ThrottleStop is definitely something to look at if you're using a Sandy Bridge CPU. You can see how / if your CPU is being throttled under load and control it.

It takes 30 * 5.5 minutes to complete a run. So 2 hours 45 minutes.

IOmeter takes as long or short as you set it up to run.

Yeah, except SMB 1.0 will never let you get that high.

I posted this in the other Sandy Bridge thread, but it really belongs here... I found a nice bug in my Gigabyte motherboard. Running the RAM at 1600MHz (it's rated speed) instead of 1333MHz prevents the CPU from dynamically changing it's clock speed as the load on it changes. The the RAM at...

It might be time to play with iperf.

Well, I just reserved a Lian Li PC-A77F (in black) to put my Sandy Bridge Build in. Microcenter has them in store for $147.95. (many stores are already out of stock) I did the online reservation for in store pickup thing. We'll see if I actually get it tomorrow when I stop by on the way...

Thanks for looking. If you don't find one, I will probably buy one from ebay. Looks like $20 will land a 512MB PC133 SODIMM.

We got it pretty good last night also. I'm working from home today. I have yet to go out to shovel.

I found a nice bug in my Gigabyte motherboard. Running the RAM at 1600MHz (it's rated speed) instead of 1333MHz prevents the CPU from dynamically changing it's clock speed as the load on it changes. The the RAM at 1333MHz the core will dynamically drop the CPU multiplier down slowing the CPU...

They'll probably have similar image quality playing blu-ray movies, so buy a brand you're comfortable with that has the features you want.

On a LCD, yes. Ones in airports that show gate change information (yes I'm sure they were LCDs, not plasmas). We had a 15" LCD Dell monitor at a previous job that had the log in screen burned in on it.

You could get image retention if you were to leave 4:3 content up there 24/7. However, the TV probably has a stretch mode which would get rid of the bars.

:skepo: FWIW, the 2x4GB G.Skill Sniper 1600MHz DDR3 kits I got are 1.5V rated (CL9).

The T510 is a 15" version of the T410. The follow on to the T410 is rumored to be the T420.

So, what RAM testing programs did you use that were unable to find the issue?

Well, you won't catch me buying one...

I'll give it a month or two before I try it.

LGA2011

They need some rain to wash away all the mud right? :o

Nope, nothing has changed in the last 7 years. Definitely avoid them. :lol:

There's no plan for a 6 core SB variant on 1155.

Why because he has a less powerful more power hungry system? ;)

Don't you need to already have an extended partition to put a logical drive in it? Since you don't have an existing extended partition, you can't put a logical drive in it.

512s would be okay too. :reindeer:

What's it supposed to do?

Sort of. The Z68 chipset will allow overclocking + use of the integrated graphics. Currently it's an either or.

He had this in his post "Memory checks. Ran 3 different programs to check / test my memory, ran overnight for hours and hours, multiple passes, 0 errors."

I posted this already in the Sandy Bridge thread. :p

I use FastCopy.

Sam's Club has similar pricing on Energizers if you're a Sam's person instead of a Costco person.

MS-DOS? :rotfl: Did we suddenly go back to 1993 or something? :owneddnce:

Instead of installing Linux, you could use a Linux LiveCD / LiveUSB (like Ubuntu 10.10). You don't have to install anything since it boots from the CD / USB drive. Then, start several data copies going and see what happens.

I don't think it cares. I think it will work in a 1x electrical slot (assuming it fits in the slot mechanically).

Most electrical failures are usually caused by a mechanical breakdown / failure of sorts. It just happens on a very small scale.

So, apparently Intel screwed the pooch and there's going to be a recall on the Intel 6 Series chipset. This ought to be interesting. :cry: I know I'm looking forward to RMA'ing my motherboard, waiting, and getting back a refurbished replacement with electrical gremlins caused by the BGA...

Based on all the testing you've done, it seems like bad hardware (PSU or mobo). Have you tried Windows XP or Linux?

Costco. Duracell's are reasonable there. Keep in mind you won't get a 2 pack thought. You'll get like 8 9V's for 10.99 or something like that.

I struggled to understand the who Vcore situation at first. In my P67A-UD3P, the default Vcore setting is "Auto" which apparently means the motherboard will change the Vcore as the processor's loading changes dynamically through the Vid voltage range set / specified in the processor. You can...

I bought mine for a boot drive, not to sit around reading and writing files to it at a rate of 20GB per 5 min.

Nice... I'm struggling with some gremlins. I can stress test mine for hours, have it pass without issue. Then reboot, do the same stress test and have it blue screen in minutes. So, for the moment I backed it down a little. What all have you tweaked / changed to hit 48 x 100?

FWIW, I also don't think the 3.4gHz numbers are really at 3.4gHz. I think it's really 3.5gHz since that's the default Turbo behavior of the Core i7-2600K for 4 loaded cores.

BD Rebuilder update. 4.5gHz i7-2600K vs. 3.0gHz Q6600: Pass 1 - 2600K was 41.56% faster / shaved 29.36% off the Q6600 time Pass 2 - 2600K was 130.47% faster / shaved 56.61% off the Q6600 time 4.5gHz i7-2600K vs. 3.4gHz i7-2600K: Pass 1 - 4.5gHz was 18.12% faster / shaved 15.34% off the...

Cool, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look.

Well, I'm guessing we have slightly different usage patterns. ;)

Anyone have a working 256MB or 512MB PC133 SO-DIMM they'd be willing to part with cheap?

20GB a day for 5 years I think. The 32GB X-25E has a slightly higher rating of 1PB of random writes.
