What about a video over a photonic processors, currently only really applicable in super computers and algebra intensive workloads, that could eventually be a possible next evolution to the CPU and GPU in the future.

Apparently these guys are launching first commercial photonic accelerator later this year. Good opportunity to bring up the subject.

fyi, there's an error in here in the first post, few points went to another team unvortunately. should be #223518 

cheers

edit:

this is in the first post

no no no, never clean cpu socket (i never tried it to be honest, i don't see the point).

CPU sockets are pretty isolated from dust / airflow so i don't think it would need any cleaning.

On the other hand memory sockets are prone to oxidation from airflow.

recently i changed motherboard, transfer the rams, all detected, half are non accessible, clean the modules / spray the slots, worked again.

Ok, thanks. Will try tomorrow, when the spray comes. Got the first one showing on Amazon with 4.5 stars

usually cleaning and reseating the memory work.

spray some contact cleaner in the memory slot.

this method worked for me 90% of the time (10% ram failed).

All the slots worked with  R5 2600, so doubtful they are dirty. Though I didn't try that, will need to order some contact cleaner.

Would you clean the CPU socket? and the pins maybe?

try a bios update on the x570

Did that, too. Update from two weeks ago didn't change anything...

It was two years ago, when I bought a pre-built Ryzen 5 2600 + Gigabyte B450 DS3H. This year it got an upgrade to 5600X, then some better ram, then a X570 Aorus Elite. Final touch was a Dark Rock Pro 4 - a beast, and an overkill of a cooler. Here's where things took a turn. Being a lazy twat, I tried to mount it inside the case, had it sliding on the pasted CPU, screws drop all around, the whole shabang. In the end everything worked out, the system started and ran cool and quiet. But then a horrible thing happened, task manager shows only 16 of 32gb of ram. And so does BIOS. What's worse, that's one channel (only DIMMs A1 and A2 work)

I tried everything there is to try, according to Google:

- reseating and swapping around the sticks, with and without XMP, also with another set of RAM

- loosening cooler mounting screws

- reseating CPU, while making sure no pins are bent

None of this has helped. However, both the 2600 on the X570 board and the 5600X on the B450 board show all four sticks. This has me confused, as the problem seems to be the combination of  the new CPU with new motherboard working on one memory channel.

Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Which GPU are you using?

Dell OEM RTX 2060. Driver - latest version 456.71

F@H isn't using CUDA on my 2060 and log only says:

How to find out what file is it? Driver reinstall using DDU didn't help.

i've installed CUDA tooolkit too, but no luck. 

Any suggestions, please? 

EDIT:

Unistalling CUDA toolkit resolved the issue.

Use ethernet cable, if not connected direct to your device, then you can buy an access point and install it closer to where you use the wifi. Newer standards like ac of ax are faster, but more expensive. Still, if you want speed, the best solution is cable direct to PC.

Check which header you plugged the pump into. And try maybe reseating RAM too, just in case.

"An error has occurred while applying security information: (file name here)". i get a thousand of these messages for different files in the structure

Is your folder structure deep? As you may know there is a filename length limit in windows and if the update changed the folder structure, it might've messed things up. You can use robocopy to move the files and access them then.

You could try this anyway

https://superuser.com/questions/1123876/how-do-i-copy-move-files-without-retaining-preserving-the-security-sharing-permi

Change ownership of the top folder and "replace all child object permissions"

Then edit security permissions. Do in safe mode if you're getting rid of McAfee

If you can get into recovery media, go to cmd and do chkdsk d: /r . Change partition to wherever your system is on. 

otherwise, you can remove all partitions from Manjaro using Gpart or KDE partition manager and retry the windows install.

if anyone reading this could let me know if there is a way that I can have windows repair itself if it finds any issues? Like a integrity check?

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow

run sfc after dism.

check for warnings/errors in event viewer > windows log > system, or filter by windows update client. 

try f10 to boot from usb again https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01109651/

can also try f12 or esc https://www.disk-image.com/faq-bootmenu.htm

best, look up your specific model for how to get to boot menu and go from there, possibly.

The title of this article led me to think Asus will be using liquid metal as a coolant in a CLC system. That's not it, but makes me think if it would be possible / had any benefits. From what Roman said in his recent video the reaction with copper affects only a surface layer and doesn't eat into the metal. Otherwise, nickel coating the fins and the rad from the inside should be possible. 

It should be beneficial to have higher thermal conductivity liquid, right? 

https://www.digit.in/news/laptops/asus-rog-strix-scar-and-strix-g-series-gaming-laptops-55802.html

they should call them new processors AF, like officially. for the enthusiast community it means more now than XT, which will lead to confusion if they do the same thing in two generations, when we get Ryzen 5700 XT. AMD is losing out on a opportunity they made for themselves accidentally. 

anyone who follows tech quite closely knows by now that 1600 AF means ~2600 +/- 5%, so 3600 AF would be received as near 4600. they can even pretend that it means something marketingy like Advanced Feature instead of As F%&k. 

Check out this cool little build. 2080ti and a Xeon cpu in a case the size of the gpu packaging.

I've wanted a 2080Ti for a while for comparative purposes but what always stopped me was it's lack of value.

 

The other potential gotcha is not all WUs are big ones so while you might get more that 3MPPD on some you wont always which drops the effective PPD down.

 

You can roughly extrapolate the maximal PPD performance of a 2080Ti by taking your known values for cards you have and using the ratio of TFLOPs from sites like TechPowerup. I haven't found the QRB makes that significant a difference between calculated versus observed between a 2070 Super and 2080 Super.

 

The value part (PPD/$), however, is only part of what you should be considering. As Spectrum mentions another part is efficiency (PPD/W) and also other considerations such as the incremental cost of feeding it (the portion of the system overhead cost for mobo, cpu, ram, ps, case, ssd). If your just running one or two systems and want to maximize your output then the 2080Ti may make sense if you can fork out the up-front cost.

Would you know how does mining gear do compared to consumer cards?

Please use Spoilers when you are posting long logs or similar things.

As far as I know, Linux gives better estimate PPD.

Fixed the log looks, thanks. Ima forum noob.

Yep! At least I got an improvement of about 5% on my 290x and am expecting the same and maybe a bit more on my 5700xt. 
The *more work* on the Windows drivers usually goes into game/engine specific optimizations and towards new gaming focused features (chill,boost, etc.).

 

linux just has a better scheduler plus the advantage of not being so bloated as a full windows 10 install. -> runs a bit faster.

But the difference is higher on the CPU side of things.

Makes sense, thanks. The bloat on windows is real.

Thank you. Just as I broke into Top 3000 of LTT Folding Team

From your experience is the GPU folding working better on Linux? Windows drivers get more work put into them, I imagine, so should be more polished.

Also I want to set up my secondary rig, is there anything special I need to do?

Just do the same. Same details and all

yup, you can do folding on BOINC Rosetta@home until they sort out the servers

2 minutes ago, Metallus97 said:

Yep! They are overwhelmed by all the support they get! That should be fixed in the next days. 

Dont delete and restart your clients to often please. This is even more work for the servers. Just let it run and you will get work if they have some! 

or better yet start BOINC until F@H settles down. Instructions are in this topic.
