"Power Management Mode" is already set to "Normal" in the NVIDIA Control Panel

Current driver is the 537.13 game ready driver, no wallpaper engines, just a solid color set via windows directly. and a single 4k Dell monitor via display port. I'll also add that I did check for a new GPU firmware, as of right now it's at the latest MSI has to offer

I have a MSI 4090 (RTX 4090 Gaming Trio 24G to be specific). I noticed it's using aprox. 100 watts idle, the card is always hot. When I take the card out of my system, the system pulls a whole 35 watts, when it's in and idle it's 130-145 watts idle. What should the normal idle wattage of a 4090 be? 100 watts seems high for idle. Things I've seen online so far doing research into this seem to show others seeing 30-40 watt idles, which is a significant difference. Also looking at some charts on this for example: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition/39.html it seems like even 30-40 might be higher than normal at idle for a 4090? I understand this is compared to a nVIDIA founders edition card and each IHV will have different specs, but 100 seems way off for idle?

Does anyone here use Crowd Strike as their advanced threat detection system? We have a bunch of Intel servers and It works great on them, no issues, no performance degradation. Recently set up two new AMD Epyc servers which worked very fast, until we put crowd strike on, it ground to a crawl. Opening task manager in a clean install was instant, soon as crowd strike was installed it took 25-30 seconds to launch task manager... and this is a clean install of windows server 2019 with only CrowdStrike.. we tried installing SQL Server on one of the boxes and an install that usually took 5ish minutes now ran for 15 hours! Uninstalled took CrowdStrike off reinstalled SQL Server and it once again installed in 5ish minutes and task manager opened instantly. We tried to repo this on a Dell Intel Server and could not repo it, so tried it on our second AMD Epyc server and same issue! exactly the same results! These servers aren't slow, They are Epyc CPU's with 128GB RAM and 8 SAS SSD's in RAID 5, and the only common thing about the performance degradation is the install of CrowdStrike. BIOS and firmware's are all up to date also.

look like pretty good products, anyone else know of anything else out there that is good?

What do you guys use for aggregating system information in the enterprise? We are getting fed up with SolarWinds are are looking for an alternative. Trying to get a SNMP trap to get all our system / switch / SAN / etc information into one place and also a place to dump all our Cisco netflow information so we can monitor traffic patterns, usage, etc. Right now we just use solar winds to monitor windows event logs for specific things like failed log-ons and some network monitoring with NPM. Any suggestions or guidance based on what any of you use?

I'm going to add this ONLY happens when a path on the share is mapped in windows... If I disconnect the mapped drive so the drive no longer shows as a mapped path everything starts working again. Even the the UNC path that didn't work before right after it was failing it will work after disconnecting the mapped drive.

* I dont use a VPN * Synology box is set to SMB2 not SMB3 so SMB Direct should have no consequences of being off... however it is enabled on all my windows 10 systems * Yes my systems are on the private network settings * Network share being enabled doesn't make a difference my client are not the shares the synology box is, however network discovery is turned on and sharing is turned off on the clients * Synology auto updates to the latest releases automatically, and there are currently no updates available that are not installed * Workgroup name is already workgroup on every device in my network including the synology box, WS-Discorvery was already enabled as was bonjour already also * SMB min version is SMB2 max version is SMB3 but like I said above it works one time, on the next reboot it will not reconnect unless I use the opposite path if I use UNC first on reboot UNC wont work only IP will and vice versa.. when this happens though I can get to the box's web interface just fine on the method that doesn't work with the mapping. This same thing happens on anonymous authentication shares also so it's also not a password / user issue

This is an odd one. I have a Synology DS1517+ on my network with the IP 192.168.1.40 and the host name DS1517. When I'm on any of the windows systems in my network I can go to \\ds1517 and browse the shares like you should be able to. What happens though is if I map a drive on any of these systems then restart and come back that mapped drive will not resolve correctly. It will ask me for the user / pass, I will enter it then it will give me an error message saying it cant map the drive. If I browse to at this point \\ds1517 it will not work, I can ping the host name fine, but windows will not open that UNC path. If I go to the IP \\192.168.1.40\ it works fine.... Remap the drive to a drive letter and reboot.. Now it's the same issue but with the IP, the mapped IP drive will not work but the host name path will... I have no clue what is going on with this. I can not consistently map a network path to a drive without it causing this behavior on any of my systems... I've been seeing this at least since 1703 and still am in 2004. Not sure if it's somehow my network setup, DNS is handled by a Microtik Routerboard router, I changed to a Pi hole server handling local DNS and it seemed to get a little better (not failing every time i remapped on the next reboot but maybe every few) but then it started again. Edit: the Windows error I'm getting is

Got two cards based off the Aquantia chipset. we will see how they perform

it's all structured wiring in wall that is not easily replaceable without cutting out a lot of drywall including a dry-walled ceiling in the basement that it runs through

Because I have systems that are still on cat5e, and N-Base can support 2.5GbE over cat5e fine, and even 5Gbit with little issue at short distances

Recommendations for multi-gig cars that are either 4 or 5 speed cards? What chip sets are good and are there any to avoid? I'm looking for recommendations that would work with windows 10 systems mainly
