    1271 V3 is Haswell. Anything V4 is Broadwell (pretty rare). If you cut the heatpipes, then it's destroyed.

    Yeah, more of a "overly-helpful automation".

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WCQ64RN/ You could break out the internal headers to a separate PCI bracket if you need more ports.

    Browser, version and OS: Chromium 100 (long story) Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened? Place "x" between two sets of numbers. Best example: 5800x3d What happened? Gets replaced with "×" (multiplication symbol). What did you expect to happen? Remain as "x". Link to a page where it happened, if applicable: (on the "5x00") Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: Any other relevant details: Wait... it literally replaces "x" in the WYSIWYG editor. Trippy... If it's a cloudflare error, what was the ray ID from the bottom of the error page? None.

    My one suggestion would be to clear the CMOS with the 3600 installed, then make sure it POSTs, then in BIOS load the defaults there, then swap CPUs and see. Also consider that there's a small chance the CPU is bad, too. I have the same B350-F, and do plan on putting a 5x00 CPU in it at some point soon, so I might end up going through this process at some point, too.

    I had their Modern Keyboard up until a couple weeks ago when I finally went mechanical. Having the fingerprint reader on a BT keyboard is way underrated.

    That's not how that works. B550 != B350. BIOSes are not* able to be crossflashed like that. *B350 and B450 were the same silicon, IIRC, so some of those would work, but there are other toggles in each BIOS specific to each board, so don't do it. Do you do the CLR_CMOS jumper thing?

    Yes, but it will run at PCIe 2.0 x4. That should still be enough for one full 10G link.

    I believe the keys are good between versions.

    It is generally advised to do so, yes. There are optimizations/drivers/etc. that Windows loads that can cause instabilities if the hardware is swapped out from underneath it. Correct. If you have a retail key, just re-enter it. If you have an OEM key, you'll either need a new one, or you might be able to sweettalk Microsoft support into renewing the old key.

    I've used them, admittedly only on RX5600XT/RX6600/3060Ti class cards. Haven't experienced any trouble.

    I like cube cases (vs. tower), and I like seeing what I put into my build is most of it. The Hyte Y60 also gets points from me for still having the HH PCIe slots behind the vertical GPU mount, so I can still have expansion options.
  13. AbydosOne
    The next practical step up would be 10G, which until fairly recently was mainly cast-off enterprise stuff (all over eBay). Aquantia/Marvell controllers were some of the first consumer 10G chips a few years ago.
  14. AbydosOne
    Generally no. There are specific applications that can do it (SMB multichannel comes to mind), but it's not automatic and it's not widely supported. There are also LAGs (link aggregation groups), but my understanding is that these just allow multiple concurrent connections on the host with several clients at the line speed of each single link.

    mystery fan

    Looks like an older XFX GPU fan.

    TB4 is still PCIe 3.0 x4. TB4 just includes all the USB specs as well. TB5 will be PCIe 4.0.

    Someone took it upon themselves to clean one of the areas in the (work) building where I had a fairly extensive side project going on and seems to have thrown out all the boxes that were very much out of the way without consulting me. In all fairness, most of the boxes I don't/won't need, except for THE ONE BOX that was actually MY OWN POSSESSION that I was LENDING to the company.

     

    In all reality, I can probably just have the company buy me a new [item] and I'll leave my now-boxless [item] with them (because they're using it anyways) so I get an [item] with a box and everything will be hunky-dory, I just don't like having to DEAL WITH HELPFUL IDIOTS and having cajole the side-project manager into fixing this problem.

     

    There exists the small chance they were put somewhere entirely different, but I don't even know who did it to start asking. My side-project manager has no idea, nor does the guy I was working with previously.

    On a self-analysis note: I think some of the reason I'm so mad about this is the result of caffeine + ADHD, the latter of which I've been reading about lately (because I've probably had it since I was a kid, I've just masked it forever). One of the hallmarks of ADHD is the poor ability to manage extreme emotion, and I'm thinking that's what this was. By all accounts, this is a very minor problem: "your [item] doesn't have a box, why is that a big deal?" Storage of [item] would be somewhat more difficult, but not impossible on my part. But it's honestly been a long time since I was literally hot under the collar and my hands were shaking like they were. I couldn't even do any side project work because I just wanted to leave.

     

    I'm trying to not let this specific anger leak out into anything other life section (not their problem), and I don't take anger out physically, so that won't be an issue. I just needed a little vent space. Kthx.

      I can relate strangely enough on both fronts. Dealing with people who think they're helping without consulting any of the people involved and irrational almost panic attack response to losing something that inherently had no significant value but I cared about way more than I should have for any rational reason.

    Look for just "RX580".
  19. AbydosOne
    Where's the top-holes-plate?
  20. AbydosOne
    Because that's the design? Low profile brackets aren't just shorter PCI brackets, the "ear" goes the other way too.

    Currently switched out my ryzen 3 for a ryzen 5…

    AbydosOne replied to zHighWizard's status update

    Also ensure your BIOS is updated to version 6042.
  22. AbydosOne
    Or you could Darlington pair them (i.e. use one transistor to drive the base of one (or more) further transistors).
  23. AbydosOne
    Actually after a little further research, making an H-bridge using only NPN transistors it probably not the right way to go (for EE reasons). Do you have access to PNP transistors as well? This is roughly the optimal configuration for an H-bridge: PNP on top, NPN on bottom. Keep in mind that you won't be able to do anything else while you're in your button == pressed loop (including manipulate GPIO15). You might be better served with some state variables and setting your GPIO once all the logic is processed. Alternatively, I would recommend some sort of external logic to absolutely prevent that from happening.
  24. AbydosOne
    Off hand, it looks like it should work. Look up "H-bridges" if you want to confirm your design with other examples. Couple words of warning: Don't power the motor directly from the RasPi; inductive flyback from the motor (i.e. motor momentum continues to create electricity after source is removed) could damage components on the board or the BJTs. Most H-bridge components have diodes across the BJTs to mitigate this. Make sure programmatically it's impossible to have both GPIO14 and GPIO15 on simultaneously or else you'll pull a (close to) dead short and blow up all your transistors. Many H-bridge chips have supplementary logic to prevent this (or to simplify the I/O to "direction and power").

    HDDs spinning down don't cause memory bugs. Besides, 3.5" HDDs don't have accelerometers (that I'm aware of) like 2.5" drives. What happens if you leave DOCP/XMP off?
