I don't believe dd bench can be executed on windows: dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync; rm -rf sb-io-test

@MiszS would you be able to run the dd command for me?! 1TB got nice TBW but 2TB is not doubled but at 1500 its still fine.

Just little context on what the drives will be used for.. Seems like Lexar is on par with 770 but higher read/write - I appreciate it. I wasn't aware lexar is doing nvme now?!

Working on a multiple build project that will have focus on write performance onto the nvme at gen4 speeds. Been always the fan of the WD brand (i.e sn770) but with the price point and qty I'm planning to purchase looking for alternative. I've noticed Team Group MP44L 1TB/2TB variant has a good performance on paper. Application will run dd test on interval basis as synthetic 1GB test where 1TB disk should run around 4-6 at the same time and 2TB disk 5-10 tests: dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync; rm -rf sb-io-test PS. Techpower up also mention this drive stating got a small cache but writes outperforms other vendors which I don't get it how: Just like all other modern TLC drives, the MP44L comes with an SLC cache that absorbs incoming writes at high speed, but uses three times the storage to do so. Our testing reveals that the SLC cache is sized at 63 GB, which is surprisingly small for a solid-state drive in 2023. On the other hand, sustained write performance is better than most competitors—we were able to fill the whole 1 TB capacity at 1.45 GB/s, which is a huge improvement over drives such as the WD Blue SN570 (590 MB/s), Samsung 980 (600 MB/s), WD Black SN770 (630 MB/s) and XPG Atom 50 (805 MB/s). So if you plan on writing a lot of data regularly, do prefer the MP44L.

5700xt

Hi, thanks for reply. So bios flash didn't help. You think it could be the UEFI? Tried linux os as well, same behavior after post just blank screen...So you saying it might be just too new gpu for the mobo :)?

Hi, I'm running older board Asus M4A78-E that I have rx470 installed in it with no problems. Bought 5700xt but in no shape or form I'm able to boot with that GPU in. It will post to bios no problem but later just blank/black screen nothing. I've tried tweaking bios but there is not much I can find, other then pcie speed. I'll be checking bios version but other then that, thoughts on what else I could look at?! Thank you in advance!

To clarify need to run at quiet mode in order NOT to crash. GPU will crash when it hits 80+... bad GPU?

Hi, Can someone let me know if these are the signs of the gpu dying? Used Noctua paste and some generic pads. When gpu hits 80+C it will crash. Need to run on quiet mode. Anything else I could check or gpu is RIP?

Someone had similar issue by fast boot as well could be it?! from here, someone was able to solve it by disable fastboot. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/768597-weird-periodic-artifacts-on-windows-10-boot-with-new-1080ti-build/

So running 3D mark and no issues, I did uninstall previous drivers with special software that removes all the breadcrumbs. gpu after test went to 69c and max 110w power no artifacts. I do have setup “fast boot” in bios I’m not sure if that does anything when pc boots that rx could not like it?!

oh like when boots to the windows, try do some benchmark?!

Bought a gpu from a friend which didn't experience any issues. XFX RX470 on asrock b450m pro4. I've noticed that when the pc boots i get the artifacts as seen below but when get to the windows its all fine. Changed different cables and ports on both monitor and gpu. I've installed my old gtx 7x and boots fine without artifacts so its definitely something gpu<>mobo related?! https://postimg.cc/6yd1TsVQ Thoughts on that?

btw connector seems to be CONN RCPT 35POS PCB https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1892787-6/4731379

Jonny, I appreciate the input, once I find little time I'll try to open that sucker to find out more. Thanks.
