    Try it as-is and see if it boots, you may have gotten lucky if it isn't strictly required. If you're asking this question, then it certainly isn't possible for you to repair it.

    I'm confused. It looks like your cores are hitting C6, which is much deeper than C1?

    You will not lose Summit Ridge support by upodating to the latest BIOS version.

    This is exactly what they're planning on doing. Use a smaller engine running at its peak efficiency load & speed, and use the battery as temporary energy storage to use when high power is demanded (Acceleration)

    My guess is that the 2700X's single core perfomance is holding it back, as most people with that CPU are in the 200 - 280 FPS range. The memory configuration isn't great either, and may be playing into it. Montior each thread's usage rather than the total CPU, as most games will never fully saturate 16 threads simultaneously.

    When Bloomfield and Gulftown launched, there were no 8 GB unbuffered DIMM's available. Thus the system was only ever tested & approved with 4 GB DIMM's. Usually 8 GB DIMM's work, allowing you to use 48 GB of RAM. 288 GB is only available on systems which use registered memory (Server applications). The L5640 most likely works.

    The Kingston is a 32 GB kit, while the G.Skill is a 16 GB kit.

    Does it continue to lag once the battery is fully charged? This isn't uncommon on some laptops, in order to keep thermals / power delivery under control.

    The only one that might have value is the high core count v3 in the top left...

    Clear CMOS and reseat all connections. Then allow ample time during post for memory training (3 minutes minimum).

    Keep in mind most CPU's idle at a very low power level anyways. Just get the regular 65W version.

    I've never had much trouble with nvidia GPU's on Linux, just make sure to install the proprietary driver through the package manager (Do not install the package NVIDA provides...) You'll also need to turn secure boot off if your distro supports it.
  13. svmlegacy
    Yes, as long as you supply the additional +12V power it should be fine.
  14. svmlegacy
    Trust me, that motherboard is only putting out 66 W on the x16 port (12V only), if it has one. x1's are only rated for 6 W on +12V.

    I agree with others here, the 5600 is the chip to choose.
  16. svmlegacy
    Is the 5600X not an option? Higher speed than the 5600, and doesn't have the unecessary 2 extra cores.

    This isn't a problem. Pinnacle Ridge's memory controller is not as good as later AMD chips, and doesn't always play well at high speeds with this much load, especially if these are dual-rank DIMM's. Leave it at 3000 MHz, still faster than the 2700's rated memory speed of "up to" 2933 MHz. There are manual settings you can use to bring it up, but that's really in the realm of manual OC.

    Plex doesn't always play well with AMD. Do some research on that specific use.
  19. svmlegacy
    This sounds like a case of "try it and find out" May as well give the iGPU a shot before spending the money of a GPU you may not need.
  20. svmlegacy
    No, it's fine. The CPU has thermal protection that will take care of it. As long as it isn't OC'd at those temps it will last until obsolence.
  21. svmlegacy
    Typhoon isn't always the most reliable either... Of course the best thing to do is to use multiple methods and cross check... Even still, for OC you need to find the limits of your particular hardware... not all B-die is the same.

    The only surefire way to identify chips is to remove the heatspreader.

    Silicon Lottery used to give out some numbers based on their findings... Too bad they shut down some time ago. Some of the info they used to give: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-3000-cpus-silicon-lottery-binning,40157.html

    I measured my TrueNAS setup with a Ryzen 5 5600G and 4x HDD's at around 15 - 20 W at the wall, idle power. No idea how it would handle Plex, but certainly I'd think it'd do fine.

    I really can't speak to their higher end boards - the A320M-H is an extreme budget board, and is best described as "it works", with surprising range of CPU's. I've run everything from Carrizo Pro to Cezanne on it. In theory it works with all AM4 CPU's (though it does involve changing BIOS's.) It was stable during 24/7 NAS duty. I would buy them again for basic purposes, but still would prefer more mainstream boards for higher power or OC.
