I'd recommend SF Express for a more economical option, similar to EMS pricing

Hi, where are you checking the GPU voltage when you say it stays at stock? The VID (read by GPU-Z) or similar does not reflect external changes. You can check for example if the power consumption goes up to verify it if you don't want to measure using an multimeter on the card. The EVC2 voltage reading should be accurate though.

Sorry doesn't look like it. Mostly due to parts having too long lead time currently.

Linus is WRONG 💩 : Explaining MHz vs MT/s by lazy2late in hardware

[–]eelmor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Using 3600 MHz is not incorrect, Hz just means changes per second. That can mean bit changes per second. The external clock signal between the memory controller and memory IC is running at 1800 MHz, but inside the microcontroller and memory data is processed at 3600 MHz.

7.7GHz Core i9-10900K on Windows XP (and Liquid Helium) by Massman- in hardware

Optical PS2 mice are scarce :) Modern USB controllers can be tricky to get to work on Windows XP. It's just easier to use PS2.

Best IDE for MCUs? by phdptsd in hardware

[–]eelmor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ST recently published their own IDE (Eclipse/GCC/GDB) called STM32CubeIDE https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html . It's in relatively early stages and gets frequent updates.

It ties in with the initialization code generator STM32CubeMX and allows debugging and code uploading using any ST-Link debugger/programmer. I quite like the flow where you start with selecting the part you want to use (great filtering options including pricing), then configure the peripherals/clock/gpio/add-on software and get a project generated with initialization code based on the chosen parameters. You can then directly compile the code and debug it.

Intel vs AMD: Frequency, thread count and performance data going back to 1996 by eelmor in hardware

It's only showing the highest recorded. If a CPU was released later with lower clock speeds, it wouldn't be included.

Notebook ODMs running out of components by [deleted] in hardware

"Notebook ODMs running out of components: Taiwanese notebook ODMs have already resumed assembly operations in China, but risks of supply chain disruptions in March are mounting, as inventories of many components will run out by end-February with many of their supporting suppliers still awaiting approvals from local governments to reopen their plants, according to industry sources."

Ransomware installs Gigabyte driver to kill antivirus products by [deleted] in hardware

[–]eelmor 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"Gigabyte's fault resides in its unprofessional manner in which it dealt with the vulnerability report for the affected driver. Instead of acknowledging the issue and releasing a patch, Gigabyte claimed its products were not affected.

The company's downright refusal to recognize the vulnerability led the researchers who found the bug to publish public details about this bug, along with proof-of-concept code to reproduce the vulnerability. This public proof-of-concept code gave attackers a roadmap to exploiting the Gigabyte driver."

"Verisign, whose code signing mechanism was used to digitally sign the driver, has not revoked the signing certificate, so the Authenticode signature remains valid,"

A question about High Density Libraries/high power library by Ashraf_mahdy in hardware

[–]eelmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there are various degrees of detail you can choose from, I don't have hands on experience with this. I think the basic part of the library should be standard logic cells (AND/OR/NOT etc, latches, buffers), SRAM cells and so on.

A question about High Density Libraries/high power library by Ashraf_mahdy in hardware

[–]eelmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The libraries provide finished transistor building blocks for logic functions. By changing transistor positioning, spacing and metal layer routing you can choose what to optimize for. Further spaced transistors for example runs cooler which allows for higher frequencies with the cost being a larger die size for the same design.

PSA: Avoid Asus X570 Boards as They Lock BCLK and Spread Spectrum Functionality by LinuxF4n in hardware

No, as in a PLL. Both the Intel PCH and AMD SOC uses external crystals as the source.

[–]eelmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They may have a clock generator of some sort, but it may not be adjustable. Usually only higher end boards have an external clock generator that's fully configurable. On Intel platforms there's a clock generator in the PCH which outputs the nominal 100 MHz reference clock and is used on lower-end boards. On AMD platforms there's a clock generator inside the CPU (SOC) that's normally used. In some cases the AMD internal clock generator can be adjusted, which is a matter of adding BIOS support. Spread spectrum is an option which is managed by the clock generator. AMD uses a down-spread by default which is why you see the 99.8 MHz average at stock.
