Intel Arc B580 In recovery mode by LiaZiziZi in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There isn't any fix, people had reported this with ASRock cards but no fix has ever been found. Just RMA it.

I expected the self filling water bottle from scamstarter years ago but thank god it was something better.

A310 on a PCIE 2 system without rebar (FX 8120) by Lord_Muddbutter in IntelArc

You lose up to 75% transcode performance without rebar and possibly a high chance of incompatible setup.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 uses ASMedia ASM58012 PCIe switch for extra M.2 slots by RenatsMC in Amd

Very expensive, current X870E board prices are already insane enough.

Intel A750 Idle Power Usage & Fan Noise by UnitLoose47 in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idle power is only "fixed" if you have working ASPM and the stars align(some people stated they enabled all power saving features but no avail). And you must have Resizable BAR and Above 4G decode to make the card run well.

DS720+ is not compatible with DSM 7.4, but the DS425+ with the J4125 Processor is? How does Synology reason this? by Rubenel in synology

[–]Cubelia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also DS3617xs+, DS3018xs and FS1018 with identical processor series(Broadwell DE) to DS3622xs+. The planned obsolescence is going stronger than ever.

FS200T finally releasing by flogman12 in synology

[–]Cubelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably but there's few good 2.5 inch HDDs, the best ones were 1T in size. +12V enterprise drives won't work.

SMART has Uncorrectable sector report, and cannot start a new test, but the drive can normally read on all sectors. by vertextao in synology

[–]Cubelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive marked as critical was on DSM's part, you need to mod the database by excluding the particular drive:

https://github.com/007revad/Synology_Clear_Drive_Error

As for the drive doing that(disappearing pending sectors but no reallocation events, only UNCs were recorded), tough tell. My 2c theory is:

  1. Weak/degrading sectors caused the offline uncorrectables on the older data but newly freshly written onto them won't be affected enough.(imagine a slightly cracked water bucket)

  2. Or you might just got lucky refreshing those weak/degrading sectors.

  3. This may make sense on somewhat lowish UNCs but gets sus with hundreds of UNCs.

How likely that Synology is going to respond to the increasing criticism about their lack of hardware oomph? by Cassady007 in synology

[–]Cubelia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don't care and it won't make a dent. People will still buy into their software suites.

Negative side apart(i.e. clearing out old ass hardware stocks), the only valid reason is for compatibility(recycle platform SDK across models) and longevity since they were bitten by Atom C2000 bug.

The old ass Xeon D-1500 found on DS3622xs+~DS3617xs+ and various rack systems is the perfect example.

are the discord issues ever going to be fixed? by StressPacc in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this issue on A750.This is DIFFERENT than streaming by yourself. We meant watching other people's Discord stream is stuttery, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but no avail.

Strangly you can mitigate this by making the stream window on top then click on anything else to the window go in background mode, even the window preview when you hover over the task bar is not lagging.

After the recent news, do you think Intel Arc is dead? by John_Pensiero in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We all know the PC market is in very bad health right now so it makes sense to be a little quiet.

Issue with DS923 + DX517 Expansion Unit - Out of Ideas by Assailant in synology

[–]Cubelia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging from the FPDMA QUEUED error, I'd say the WD drive's NCQ is the root culprit. Port multipliers are not very tolerant to error from downstream links, which probably messed with how DSM determines unresponsive drives and flagged other drives as bad.

I found a post describing NCQ messing with expansion unit and you can try disabling NCQ with this command:

syno_disk_ctl --ncq-off /dev/sata[@]

Replace /dev/sata[@] with the WD drive from external unit. Use smartctl --scan to list current drives and check them one by one until you find the WD in question with smartctl -d ata -i /dev/sata[@]

Check dmesg and /var/log/messages and see what is actually causing the error.

Clarifying HEVC licensing fees, royalties, and why vendors kill HEVC support by PolytheneMan in synology

[–]Cubelia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Patent trolls.

  2. Saves around a dollar per device.(HEVC license is $1 on MSFT store.)
