Old motherboard compatibility with Xeon chip
MattShnoop replied to MattShnoop's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks. I didn't find this particular list when I Googled (though I didn't look very hard before deciding to come here). That was my conclusion too, "I'll just have to cross my fingers and give it a shot." I'll wait a bit before marking this as solved just to see if anybody else has some forbidden esoteric insight into this particular situation. -
I'm working on turning an old system of mine into server, and I'd always heard that buying a used Xeon off eBay was a quick and easy way to get some extra performance out of an old motherboard. The motherboard in question is the Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM R2.0 Micro. For a while, I was planning on buying the E3-1230v2. When I checked eBay, though, I saw an E3-1275v2 for sale for a great price and sprung for that instead. I of course verified that it also used the same LGA1155 socket, which it does. However, today, when I went to update my PCPartPicker list for posterity, I noticed that it wouldn't let me select the E3-1275v2 without first disabling the compatibility filter. PCPartPicker says, Problem: Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM R2.0 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard and Intel Xeon E3-1275 V2 3.5 GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor are not compatible. But provides no other insight as to why. After I saw this, I did a little bit of digging. Intel's site says that the 1275v2 uses the FCLGA1155 socket, but everything I could find (Tom's Hardware, Reddit) says that the FCLGA1155 and the LGA1155 are identical. On top of that, all the looking I did tells me that there are no special requirements for running a Xeon processor, and that as long as you have the correct socket it should work fine. Intel's site makes no mention whatsoever of any chipset limitations, either. Is there something I missed? Is it maybe because the motherboard doesn't support ECC memory? My best hope is that PCPartPicker is simply missing compatibity information for this CPU/motherboard... I've already bought the processor

Yup, I've got the same situation but older... My USB 3.0 ports on my case are disabled cuz my mobo doesn't support it. Think that's what she's got but w/ the Type-C. I'll make sure she knows
-
We were just trying to straight up identify it, nothing more. Thank you!
-
I don't have anything higher than USB 2.0 on *my* motherboard... this is my friend's photo. No wonder I haven't seen it before! My stuff is too old
-
Bit of a silly question but... I've been out of the PC building scene for a couple years and offered to help identify a cable for a friend... I was immediately stumped. Even if it isn't directly related to the CPU and Motherboard, I wasn't sure which other category to put it under... It's definitely an internal, PC building cable, though. Thanks in advance

No matter how many times I set and unset Visual Studio 2019 as my default program for .sln files, it still uses the icon from Visual Studio C# 2010 Express. I use 2010 Express when marking for a course to ensure that my version of VS is the same as what the students use, just in case, but VS 2019 for my own use. This pictures shows what I mean. You can see that, circled (or, boxed, I guess?), .suo files have behaved normally since installing VS 2019. I've tried clearing my IconCache, but to no avail.

Singe pixel line along top edge of maximized programs
MattShnoop replied to MattShnoop's topic in Windows
So uhh.... I switched back into Normal Startup (everything in selective is enabled, as is everything in the Services tab) and... It's fixed itself now? This makes it pretty hard to diagnose what was causing it ? If it comes back I'll resume from this post and update you farther. ?? -
Singe pixel line along top edge of maximized programs
MattShnoop replied to MattShnoop's topic in Windows
Ok I'll let you know how this goes... Looks to be that the line is gone once I disable all startup programs and run it in diagnostic startup... Now, to figure out which program is causing it... ? @Tabs: I re-enabled all of my startup programs, and I still don't see the issue. Therefore it must not be being caused by any of these programs. It must be something in that "System Services" box. Note, when I selected Diagnostic startup, it automatically jumped down to Selective Startup, just with some stuff disabled. -

I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure how to do that... -

Do you think Dell's PermierColor app could be responsible? -
Singe pixel line along top edge of maximized programs
MattShnoop replied to MattShnoop's topic in Windows
Seems to be gone on Spotify, but Chrome is still having the issue. I'm also not sure if Spotify being fixed is temporary -- it started much later than Chrome so I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing was generally inconsistent. -

Both Spotify and Chrome were installed through installers. -
Recently, I've started to see an annoying line across the top of my window when I have my program maximized. It happens in Chrome with a blue line, and in Spotify with a white line. Look along the top edge here: Same goes for Spotify, although only along the top of the window: Note that this doesn't happen when I don't have the window in focus: I've got NVIDIA GeForce Driver 397.93. As of July 6th, 2018, 2:05 PM, Windows Update says I'm up to date. Chrome is up to date -- Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit). Has anyone seen this issue before? Any tips as to what I should try next? It's been bugging me for about a month now. Thanks.

Title says most of it. When I have chrome full screened, it has a line of pixels along the top edge of the screen. This only happens on my 4K laptop, not my 1080p desktop monitor. The colour is the same as my windows theme, so I assume it's the border that's normally put around non-maximized windows. Why, however, it's displaying when I have it maximized, I don't know. See example: It does not happen when the window is not focused:
