micro code in a windows update

specifically one in july

so obviously going before 1803 (I think we're pushing to 1809 now) would resolve it, because the update was in 1803

I also found that a lot of ryzen chips don't like more than 2400mhz ram

so flashed bios, uc'd ram to 2400 (from 2666)

super stable pc

I thought Ryzen worked better with faster ram

athlons don't like it

also, ryzens work better with slower ram with lower cas

the ram is slower, but it can move info faster in and out

good for more cores that ryzen usually has

I don't own a Ryzen i'm waiting for Zen+ but /r/amd most people were saying the faster ram you had the better your benchmarks but the first gen ram speed was capped just shy of 3000mhz but that they finally had ram somewhere around 3600mhz functioning with Ryzen. I'm still rockin a 3930k with 32gb 2400mhz ddr3 with no intentions of upgrading till someone successfully sues the ram manufacturers for price gouging on ddr4 lol

Really hoping Zen+ can hit 4.5ghz+

benchmarks are cute

That's why I use realbench at least

I'm using a 4790k personally

Whenever I have to help a potential cx build a pc and they say they are going to render or something though

I point them to ryzens

gaming? intel

Yah intel can clock a lot better.. 4.2-4.3ghz on the newer ryzens vs intel hitting 5ghz lol Thats a pretty big gap.

yeah, and getting large core count on intel is expensive

but tbh

unless you're like 1440 144hz gaming

high end ryzen with a 1080ti

will cover most else

I don't play much cs:go an bf1.. been waiting for star citizen to be released for like a decade lol

my crappy 970 gtx can handle 1440p on both those titles.. i'll probably upgrade to something decent when star citizen is finally released in like 2026 😄

If crypto keeps dropping i'll probably pick up a used 1080 ti when they're being unloaded by miners though if its cheap

miners shouldn't be using 1080ti's

1070ti's are the best price to performance

one of my company's techs is also a miner on the side lol

the jump to 1080 from 70ti is too much for only an 8% gain

ti to ti more so

when the price spiked an everything else was bought out a bunch of people bought all the 1080ti lol I think they were good for ZEC but they went the ASIC route. The ethenlargement pill helped make them mine ethash decent enough though but if the price of eth drops much more they'll probably end up getting dumped on ebay.

This is scary

The thing is, I was hearing about another story like this earlier today

(there's news links in the thread as well)

https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DS_Alternative_Influence.pdf Very interesting study that's trending across the net

That infographic of whos communicating with who on that datasociety pdf.. poor computing forever just hanging out by himself nobody likes him everybody hates him sitting in the garden eating worms.. seriously i like his content
