Can you put this ram in other computers?
SkyHound0202 replied to DrQuickDroqqed's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
No. They are Registered Memory kit that are intended to be used on a specific vendor's system. -
Water cooling dumbassery
SkyHound0202 replied to MattyIce1711's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Closed water cooling kits are not designed to be opened. A loss of coolant will affect cooling performance in the long term, depending on the amount lost. If the screw is not properly screwed in, a leak could destroy your system entirely. Since you made an obvious improper operation, I reckon Corsair will void your warranty. Personally, I would not trust a close loop kit that has experienced disassembly. -
As it points out in the "Card Note" and "GA102 GPU Note" section, it's a speculation of the upcoming card(s). Also, they spelled "Ampere" wrong as "Amphere" [sic].

Does European power supply with american cord work?
SkyHound0202 replied to uApple's topic in Power Supplies
Canada uses 110V AC, which is below the rated input range (180-264V AC) of your PSU, thus it would not work. Get a voltage converter (cheap, but not recommended) or a new PSU. -
Zen+ 's last hurrah - Ryzen R3 2300X available + new low end embedded
SkyHound0202 replied to williamcll's topic in Tech News
Still hoping AMD will release the OEM-only Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 5 3500 to retail. They are perfect for the $450 and $150 price point. -
I was idling for a while until I saw this happening on New Year's Eve. The picture speaks for itself: I turned my Linux Xeon back on at the end of January. There was work done, but the statistic is not updating, nor was the host showing up on Boinc Statistics. Yet surprisingly, my hosts and works are visible on the project page.

ryzen 3200g motherboard
SkyHound0202 replied to bluehillday's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Unless you are on a very tight budget, this board is NOT recommended since it's a very basic board and lacks certain features like overclocking support, better I/O. Try a B450 board. -
Return of the Zen - 12nm Ryzen 5 1600 (AF) found in new batches
SkyHound0202 replied to williamcll's topic in Tech News
Probably it's the fallout of AMD amending Wafer Supply Agreement with GlobalFoundries back in January 2019. The main point in the amendment, I quote: Basically, AMD is ditching GF in favor of TSMC for 7 nm and beyond, but they still have to fulfill the "above 7nm" (i.e., 14 & 12 nm) WSA with GF somehow. That's why the opt to move mid tier 1st gen 14 nm Ryzen products to 12 nm, freeing the existing 14nm line; and used the freed 14 nm slot to manufacture low-end Athlon 3000G. Which I would say it's a smart move, since a mature mass-production-ready manufacturing node (GF 12/14 nm) is still better than a struggling new node (Intel 10 nm) or a congested high-demand node (TSMC 7 nm) -
Intel is selling PRE-OVERCLOCKED CPUs...
SkyHound0202 replied to Emily Young's topic in LTT Releases
Unpopular opinion: fully utilizing the mature & mass-production ready 14-nm node to produce processors is less risky and makes much financial sense than investing and transitioning to a new & experimental 10-nm node with limited manufacturing capacity.- 17 replies

AMD is Making Laptops Affordable - Lenovo Flex 14
SkyHound0202 replied to JonoT's topic in LTT Releases
Is AMD for Poor People? Why is AMD the Budget Option for Gamers? -
I would say the price is pretty good consider that Mi A3 (4+64) is available from Amazon Germany for 199 EUR. That's a great deal you got there. Mi A3 is not a flagship phone, but it's fit for day to day use and it's part of the Android One initiative, which means it runs stock Android and will receive update faster. (On a personal note, I would prefer a clean Android than those customized ones by Huawei and Lenovo.)

True USB-C to USB-C Hub. Do they even exist?
SkyHound0202 replied to HausOfLandau's topic in Peripherals
There's no "true" USB-C to USB-C hub. Those hubs available on the market with one USB-C port exclusively use the port for charging. Those with two USB-C ports are mostly at USB 2.0 speed. The reason being that using a USB-C hub, especially under USB 3.1 Gen 2 protocol, will make the hub itself become a huge bottleneck in terms of power and bandwidth. If you all you need is a USB-C port and you don't care about DisplayPort capability, you can just buy one of those USB-A to USB-C adapter. It will only carry data and (hopefully enough) power to your device. However, if want full power & bandwidth and you motherboard has spare PCIe x4 slot(s), you may consider buying an ASmedia-based PCIe to USB-C add-in card like this. If you want DP over USB-C, you will probably need Thunderbolt 3 or a native USB-C port on motherboard that has electric connection to GPU. -

I have an even more crazy one...an Xeon E3-1575M (QK9N). Locked multiplier, but you can't beat the DDR3 ECC support and working Iris Pro P580.

Does Intel XTU supports Sandy Bridge processors?
SkyHound0202 replied to Man's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
It will work, but the tweaking options may be limited compared to Z-series board paired with an unlocked K-series processor. -
Why not just get a laptop? For the same price, you may get a somewhat decent laptop, which is much smaller and much easier to carry around in a truck.

What to do with old PC components apart from selling
SkyHound0202 replied to Cheeky Bugger's topic in General Discussion
Recycle: dispose them responsibly. Edit: Actually, Skylake (with Sunrise Point chipset) and Polaris is not "old", they are still pretty competent. The i3 6100 excels at games that favors single thread performance. The RX 460 is meh at best, but still allows you to play some light titles better than an integrated graphic. For the B150 board, you could mod it to run Coffee Lake chip, if you are persistent.
