The kits contain 2 stick each so its 8x8Gb Yes, I have the latest Bios, compared to the v16 I had previously, v17 makes xmp a lot more stable for 3066MHz but it doesn't help achieving 3200Mhz. If I was more dedicated I might disassemble my hardline loop so I could take out half of the stick but meh. So, somehow I managed to brick my motherboard BIOS yesterday and shorting the CMOS jumper for 30min doesn't fix it so I have to disassemble anyway T_T

MB: MSI x399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC CPU: Threadripper 1950X Memory: 4 kits of G.Skill Flare X ( F4-3200C14-8GFX ) 64GB total I've been struggling to set up xmp with 3200Mhz for the past two days without success. 3066Mhz is stable at least. Someone mentioned on reddit that the number of sticks may contribute to instability. Is it possible, or I just lost the silicone lottery?

If You just plugged in You probably have to install the LAN driver : https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-KRAIT-GAMING-3X.html#down-driver

I dont know where you live, but where I do, this just mean that the ISP is limiting the bandwidth its providing so it can sell more subscriptions. Btw its totally legal because in the subscription contract it is stated that that the minimum bandwidth it has to provide is around 10% of the advertised one If your ISP is reliable then you might have an old router. I dont think there is any setting to limit LAN bandwidth on a motherboard.

Probably, I'll see how it turns out when I get to buying it.

There was one from ASUS at computex, although response time and freeSync are not confirmed.

I didn't know that. Currently I have an LG D2343P with 5ms response time which doesnt seem to change much for IPS panels, I think It'll be good enough for me, I dont play much fps games.

I plan to build a new pc sometime late Q1 2017. The reason is I want to see the 1080Ti vs Vega flagship showdown as well as how the top-shelf ZEN will preform against Kaby Lake. This early I mainly focus on doing my research as I have never done watercooling, overclocking and my only custom built is my beast of a NAS. Display: Currently I play on 30-60Hz 1080p with my 760 2x SLI. Realistically will the 1080Ti 2x SLI or Vega CF be able to handle 4k 144Hz at a stable rate with a secondary screen? I do know there is no such screen yet, but there are 4k 120Hz IPS one by Samsung. Can I expect that in half a year there will be a 4k 144Hz (with 4-5ms response time + freesync + IPS) screen manufactured? According to wikipedia the display port 1.4 could handle this whith DSC support. That depends solely on the GPU driver, right? Motherboard: Based on the specs we have so far I expect that the Zen vs Kaby lake will end with zen out performing with about 5% average in the same segment. If Zen is released can I expect to have motherboards with AM4 to be released at the same time? Watercooling: 1. How much time is usually between a GPU/CPU release and waterblocks for them appearing on the market? Now that Vega got officially delayed to Q1 2017, I'm a bit concerned for my time-frame if it takes too long. 2. I read some cases about how rubber in fittings may react to a kill coil in the water by coloring it. Are there any manufacturers whose product are confirmed to do this? I plan to go with Bitspower components and AlphaCool or AquaComputer waterblocks. EDIT: screen specs updated.

Its a new build so I want everything up to date, also I read somewhere, I cant find it now, officials changelogs would be nice, that it improves M.2 performance, which would be useful as I plan to run freeNAS and put a L2ARC cache there.

I'm tying to update the BIOS of my X11SSH-TF motherboard to the 1.0a version. This is the first time I'm doing this with a Supermicro motherboard, I might have missed something trivial. To do the update I'm using a bootable usb with freeDos (created with rufus), with the BIOS files extracted to its root directory. When it boots I run the "FLASH.BAT X11SSHT6.322" command, the script detects that the FDT is different, as far as I can tell (only a message is printed) successfully generates a new AUTOEXEC.BAT and proceeds to reboot. After rebooting it detects a different FDT for some reason and the script is stuck in this loop... At first I suspected that the usb drive become write protected somehow, but apparently that would result in an unsuccessful AUTOEXEC.BAT generation. Before the update I did reset the BIOS settings to optimized defaults. Some ASUS motherboards require to do this after a new FDT is generated as well, but it didnt help here. Upon inspecting the FLASH.BAT at least I can tell that the flashing procedure didnt start so there is no harm done. Anyone can recommend any further steps I could try to make this work? I dont want to use the recovery mode bios flashing as long as its avoidable. EDIT: After contacting tech support the following steps solved this problem: 1. Clear CMOS and boot to DOS 2. ren fdt.smc fdt.exe 3. fdt –w 50 00 4. fdt –w 51 00 5. fdt –w 52 00 6. ren fdt.exe fdt.smc 7. reboot system 8. back to dos, then run flash.bat X11SSHT6.322 again.

How about 2/3/4/(5)/G speed/power consumption relation. If they take 5G to 15-18GHz how much will the Plank-Einstein relation (E=h*f) affect battery life?

I'm planing to build a NAS based on the Supermicro X11SSH-F motherboard, however my local retailers are selling either X11SSH-F-B or X11SSH-F-O and I can't find any information on the difference between them. The price difference is something like 10 USD so its not a big deal but I'm curious what the difference is. Anyone knows?
