Speed Weed

Here is mine. I think it just a wrong reading from the software about temp2 and temp5.

The temps are definitely more accurate thank you. I'm definitely deleting HWMonitor in favor of this one.

Btw, HWInfo64 does have an overlay, but I am not sure if it works on all games because I haven't tested for a long time.

No, its average because of high fan speeds.

What do you mean average? It is a top tier PSU. 

EVGA G2 850Watts PSU is very good. I bought on 2015 and this babe still running fine with no problem on 2018 with ECO mode on.

It looks a little sketchy.....

Site and app are clean. HWInfo64 has been on the internet for a long time. VirusTotal.com said both are clean.

Try HWInfo64. I find HWInfo64 is more useful than HWMonitor.

whats terrifying about not getting updated firmware on the quite old stuff is where I work we still have quite old stuff and I know many other places have quite old stuff that will always be vulnerable to something HORRID

 

le sigh

This is why public computer and Wifi are not safe.

Thanks for the replies @Srnewbee and @EsaT! I have 1 question though. @EsaT, would the Cryorig H7 work with the i7-8700K?

Cooler and CPU socket are compatible. Both are LGA 1151.

Not all Intel CPU will get the patch for Spectre.

" Intel has finished designing microcode update patches for its processors. On April 2nd, 2018, they announced that processors that have not yet been patched will never be patched. Their full statement is available in this PDF document. In that document, Intel specifies which of their many processors do have patches and which of their more recent processors will never receive updated firmware. Now that the industry has this information, this 8th release of InSpectre incorporates that list of CPUIDs and displays whether microcode firmware updates exist for the system's Intel CPU. "

honestly , right now there's no problem with your machine either.

i've typed the answer at least twice now , no sense in me typing any more. maybe somebody else can type the exact same thing to you and you can drive them nuts instead

Okay, thank you very much for helping me out. You are awesome.

you can put a boot disk in the cd rom

install something on the drive to boot to first , only then if its not an option do you actually have a problem.

I don't understand? Right now there is nothing in the optical drive to boot into.

there nothing on the drives to boot to , i dont know what else to say. if you arent going to put something on the drive for the system to boot to then its not going to be a bootable option.

But why is my optical drive show when I enable CSM even though nothing on the optical drive to boot to?

so let me get this straight....

theres nothing wrong with the machine
the drives show up and are being used in windows
they show up in the bios
but they don't show up as a bootable option EVEN THOUGH they aren't boot drives to begin with......

thats your problem correct?

Yes. My two HDDs are not show up in the Boot Priority with and without CSM enabled.

if they have nothing to boot then they aren't going to show in the boot priority as an option.... much in the same way your toaster isn;t a selectable gpu.

if the drives show up in windows then why does it matter?

Maybe there's something wrong that my Mobo don't detect those two drives? I don't know?

then they're not going to show up in the BOOT priority are they?

I don't know? That's why I am seeking for help. I am worried my drives might be dead if the BIOS cannot detect it on Boot Priority?

is there anything on the drives to boot to , you cannot boot to them if there's nothing bootable

Port 2 and Port 4 drives are for games and other stuff. It doesn't have anything OS related on it.

I have 1 SSD, 2 HDD, and 1 Optical Drive. Port 2 and Port 4 drive are not showing in Boot Priority.

It looks all good to me, as performance is on spec with good SMART readings. You can run another benchmark here http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Samsung-850-Evo-250GB/Rating/2977 and compare to other people's scores with the same SSD.

 

These are my smart numbers for a drive only used 1/5 of the time compared to yours. Speed tests are from the Samsung software.

 

 

 

 

 

Where do I look on CrystalDiskMark for random 4k and Deep Queue 4k?

3 hours ago, Spotty said:

Those speeds are normal. Samsung advertises speeds up to 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write for your drive.
SMART check comes back fine and it is reported as 'good' so I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh okay.

Thanks for the update and the comparison. I thought my drive must be dying.

Doesn't appear to be any issues with it.

Was there any particular reason why you were concerned about the drive failing?

When I look up picture of my drive benchmark on CrystalDiskMark, I find my result is low, and paranoid my drive perhaps is dying? 

Is my drive normal?

You're just listing read- and write-speeds? Those don't say anything about whether it's dying or not.

17 minutes ago, Spotty said:

What exactly do you think is the issue? Read/write speeds aren't a very good indicator of the health of a drive, though those looks fairly normal for your drive.

Try using Samsung's Magician software to check the 'health' of the drive or even CrystalDiskInfo (notCrystalDiskMark).

IIRC most SSDs have an allocation for bad sectors. This is a couple of GB and should show up in most diagnostic software, might show up in SMART too. 

 

Edit: I have the same SSD on one of my rigs about the same age. I'll check my specs for comparison.

Here are the pictures in Samsung Magician and its SMART.

Is my Samsung 850 EVO 2.5 inch SSD dying or normal? I had this drive for 2 to 3 years now.
