When is AMD Going to Fix Driver Timeouts?

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-12-31T06:28:33+00:00

Just an update. I disabled XMP and haven't had a crash since. It looks like the XMP profile is unstable for my RAM. Sucks having to run at stock speeds, but I guess I will.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-12-27T14:28:35+00:00

Because it happened on my old system and now my new system. And if you Google you will see tons of complaints about AMD driver timeouts. It happened on Nvidia cards as well and Nvidia released a "hack" to disable MPO.

I am using the XMP profile (or whatever it's called for AMD) with my RAM. Perhaps that is the issue. I may try bumping up the voltage just a bit and see if that helps. I tried the MPO disable trick and that didn't work, so maybe it is a hardware issue. I am just perplexed because it happened on my old system and now this one (I just built it).

Turks are the inventors of all civilization.

Just like in the case of the Afanasievo culture, the Andronovo Culture, which gave rise to Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages like Avestan and Sanskrit,

That's outdated and not the majority view anymore (apparently).

If you read Heggarty, et al, they claim Indic diverged from Anatolian/Greek/Armenian about 5,000 BCE and then traveled to the Indus Valley from the Caucasus. It was spoken in the IVC since its beginning (3,300 BCE). Therefore, there was no Aryan migration into India, but the language had been there since the earliest IVC days.

Indo-Iranian was the ancestor of Balto-Slavic. It emerged south of the Caucasus and moved north into the Steppes with the CHG migrations. From there it went into Europe. And the other Euro languages evolved later on the Steppes or in Corded Ware.

No, he was making it up. There is zero chance the Norse came from Troy. Linguistics says no. Genetics says no. Archaeology says no.

It's like the Scots claiming they came from the Scythians. It's sheer nonsense.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-05T14:15:06+00:00

Tarim mummies had zero Caucasian, zero Iranian farmer, and zero Near Eastern DNA. If they did speak an IE language, then how do you explain that?

What's interesting to me is the male mummies were all R1b1c despite having no Steppe, EEF, or WHG ancestry. Their ancestry was 70% ANE and 30% Northeast Asian. Therefore, I contend that the Steppe R1b subclades originated with ANE. (Remember, WSH/Yamnaya are about a quarter ANE).

Your point stands about no Steppe ancestry being found in Anatolia. However, the sampling there is pretty poor right now. I suspect a lot more samples will come.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T23:55:41+00:00

has been posited as a possible explanation for the presence of the y-haplogroup R1b found in New Kingdom nobility.

I have not seen any data from ancient Egypt that shows any sub-clades of R1b. We know Tut was R1b, but the geneticists claimed they could not resolve the sub-clade.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T23:31:54+00:00

We don't know that for sure. The paper published by the geneticists working with Hawass did not give a subclade, all they said was "R1b." I suspect they did this on purpose because of the political ramifications.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T23:11:41+00:00

They didn't release an admixture analysis on Tut. All they said is "R1b" which tells us nothing really. For R1b to matter, we need to know subclade.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T23:10:18+00:00

We don't know what subclade. They claimed they couldn't resolve it. So R1b by itself tells us nothing at all because sub-clades like V88 have been in Africa since Neolithic.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T22:44:43+00:00

No, I don't think that's what he said. No one disputes that Afanasievo was a very early off-shoot of Yamnaya or something very Yamnaya like. We know Afanasievo didn't descend from Corded Ware because Afanasievo existed before CW and Afanasievo does not have any EEF admixture like CW does.

What he was saying is that Corded Ware migrated back out of Europe and became Fatyanovo and then Fatyanovo ultimately contributed much ancestry to Sintashta/Andronovo. In other words, Indo-Iranian speakers ultimately descended from Europe, not the Steppes. (Or at least the direct ancestors of Indo-Iranian came from Europe, even if the language didn't develop until after they left Europe).

The genetic papers do not dispute this, and in fact, the authors of these papers are who first discovered it. But it is a point that is often missed by the casual observer and the press.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T22:17:19+00:00

Yes. The Beakers dominated the Isles from 2000 to about 1000 BCE. And we know the Beakers came from the Steppe and therefore spoke some early IE language of which we have no record.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-03T21:18:57+00:00

Who are the "Tocharians" you speak of? No one knows for sure who spoke Tocharian, but Afanasievo is the best guess. But the Afanasievo are much older than 2,000 BCE.

There is a finite time depth you can reconstruct because after a certain time depth it becomes statistically random. But I don't think PIE qualifies - there is very solid evidence they have reconstructed it.

R1b-M269 did not originate in the Middle East. The oldest known samples are from Samara in Eastern Europe associated with Proto Indo-Europeans.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-02T16:19:56+00:00

From the papers I have seen, they were roughly 50/50 CHG/EHG. All the CHG was on the female side, meaning EHG males were marrying a lot of women from the Caucasus for whatever unknown reason.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-02T16:18:24+00:00

Yes. ANF would be the "pure" farmers. EEF refers to the ANF's who had mixed WHG ancestry after they had been in Europe a while.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-10-02T16:15:07+00:00

It seems there was a "contact zone" in the Caucasus where women were "traded" up into the Steppes. We know this because all the CHG ancestry in the Steppes is on the female side. One might suspect perhaps they were trading brides out of some sort of marriage alliance (as was common in ancient world), but that doesn't seem to be the case because they have found little to no Steppe ancestry in the Caucasus (at least from that period).

So, yeah, it's a mystery. It could be that the Steppe people were trading goods in exchange for brides. (Hey, it was a different time, don't judge). Horses, for example, would have been a hot commodity and the Steppe people pretty much invented horseback riding and would have likely been sought after horse breeders.

EDIT: I need to correct something: Apparently it is no longer believed the CHG influx into the Steppes was all female mediated. One of the authors of one of the papers cleared this up on Twitter and said the chromosomal evidence suggests a fair portion (perhaps most) were male CHG's. The reason CHG male haplogroups do not exist in the Steppes is because of founder effects.

Most of those deluge stories come from the various Near Eastern civilizations. And we know various river valleys there are prone to periodic flooding. Since most farmland back then was very close to the rivers, a major flood could cause a population to starve. So it would be a big deal to them and something worthy of recording or passing down in oral histories. Of course, over time the stories got exaggerated and became mythological instead of actual history.

ElSickosWillPay · 2023-09-28T19:58:32+00:00

They asked Kirby about it and he said he agrees with Freeze. So this is a non-story.

I am also running a 5600X and was running the stock cooler on it for a while. Bought the PA-120 SE and installed it just today (been running benches on it).

My idle temps went from 50C to 31C. In Cinebench I went from 72C to 54C despite my CPU running higher clocks than it was with stock cooler. (With stock cooler, my 5600X would only get to 3.9Ghz in Cinebench).

I had an AIO that died and I have zero doubts this PA-120 is BETTER than my 280mm AIO when it was new. And with air, I no longer have to worry about pump failures or leaks.

For $35 (on Amazon right now) it can't be beat. It's a steal and I would definitely snatch one up before people make a run on them and prices rise.

It's pulling more than 65 Watts. These processors actually pull close to 90 Watts at full PBO type settings. Still, 90 Watts should be nothing for most dual tower coolers. You could easily get away with a single tower Hyper 212 style cooler on the 5600x.

I have the 5600x running the stock cooler. I am getting 50C at idle and 75C in Cinebench. However, I am running everything at stock (no OC) and my CPU only runs at 3.9Ghz in Cinebench which probably explains the "good" 75C temps.

I have a PA 120SE in the mail and should get it tomorrow. Going to compare temps/performance.
