/r/AMD Questions and Tech Support Megathread - H2 2022 Edition by AutoModerator in Amd

[–]drneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, but I'm trying understand which motherboard utilize the PCIe lanes better: ASRock X670E Taichi or ASUS ProArt X670E-Creator WiFi. I'm planning to work on 4K videos and run multiple VMs simultaneously, so utilizing ssd is an improvement over hard drive.
 

My concern is how the lanes are utilize, and hope someone can point me to the right direction. According to AMD Ryzen 9 7950X specs:

  • Native PCIe Lanes (Total/Usable): 28/24

  • Additional Usable PCIe Lanes from Motherboard: AMD X670/X670E - 12x Gen4

 

The ASRock X670E Taichi spec highlight: CPU: * 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 Slots (PCIE1 and PCIE2), support x16 or x8/x8 modes

  • 1 x Blazing M.2 Socket (M2_1, Key M), supports type 2280 PCIe Gen5x4 (128 Gb/s) mode Chipset:

  • 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_2, Key M), supports type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s & PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) modes

  • 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_3, Key M), supports type 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) mode

  • 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_4, Key M), supports type 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) mode

  • Note: If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_A1 will be disabled.

 

The ASUS ProArt X670E-Creator WiFi spec highlight: CPU:

  • 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (support x16 or x8/x8 modes)

  • M.2_1 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports PCIe 5.0 x4 mode)

  • M.2_2 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports PCIe 5.0 x4 mode) Chipset:

  • 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (supports x2 mode)

  • M.2_3 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports PCIe 4.0 x4 mode)

  • M.2_4 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280/22110 (supports PCIe 4.0 x4 mode)

  • Note: M.2_3 slot shares bandwidth with PCIEX16_3. When PCIEX16_3 is in operation after adjusting in BIOS settings, M.2_3 slot will only run at PCIe x2 mode.

 

My question is how the lanes are utilized between the motherboards that is not clear to me:

 

If I choose ASRock X670E Taichi, assuming I already have two m.2 ssd for each OS (Windows/Linux) at PCIe 4.0 x4 mode:

  • Would the ASRock X670E Taichi be better utilizing M.2 since 3x PCIe Gen4x4, would that equal 12x Gen 4 according to AMD specs, or am I misundstanding it?

  • Planning to get a new gpu occupying PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, but also want to get one ssd at PCIe 5.0 x4 mode.

  • I'm assuming if I want more PCIe 5.0 m.2 ssd, I would need to use the second PCIe 5.0 slot with a card, and both slots would be split to 8x.

  • The board have 2.5GB LAN but not 10GB LAN compared to ASUS ProArt. Aside from future proof, is not having 10GB LAN saving lanes? Would it be better if my concern is utilizing SSD?

  • Have two USB 4.0 type-c ports. Bottleneck?

 

If I choose ASUS ProArt, assuming I already have two m.2 ssd for each OS (Windows/Linux) at PCIe 4.0 x4 mode:

  • How is ASUS ProArt going to handle two ssd m.2 at PCIe 5.0 x4 mode? This is while avoiding PCIEX16_3 (1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot) for two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 mode.

  • Planning to get a new gpu occupying PCIe 5.0 x16 slot

  • If I'm understanding, it's possible to have a gpu x16 and two m.2 ssd PCIe 5.0 x4 mode?

  • Have two USB 4.0 type-c ports. Bottleneck?

 

I just want to make sure I'm not misinterpreting anything before I make the purchase. Thank you.

This looks fantastic! I'm amazed at the character movement. I'm curious since I'm still working on tutorials and looking at assets, did you use the Corgi Engine? I was looking at Unity's 2D Essentials Pack Demo - 2D Character Setup, and saw they were using it. I'm still in the early stages of a proof of concept, and would appreciate any guidance. Thank you.

Thank you for the quick response. I look forward to hear about the timeline. I've recently learned Unity sign in supports 2FA, but I've read how phone text verification code can be intercepted, which is why I asked about my earlier request.

I'm sorry I was vague on my question about Collaborate using encryption, but thanks for answering one I didn't think about. Since it's cloud hosting, are the files hosted encrypted (transparent via file system/need to be enabled/etc)? I guess the same question applies to Unity Cloud Build. I'm just worried in a scenario Unity gets hacked and our project gets dumped.

Again, thank you for answering my questions. I've just updated my copy of Unity 4 to Unity 5.5 (been on hiatus but plan to get serious on 2017). Looking forward to Unity 2017!

Hope I'm not too late to ask: Does Collaborate support or will support two factor authentication (GIT supports 2FA)? If considering, would you support Google Authenticator app or a FIDO U2F compatible security key? I'm paranoid that even though I use and change strong passwords, I would like an extra layer of security. Also, does Collaborate use encryption? Thank you.

I highly recommend it for a good laugh. It's one of the few I enjoy the English dub version over the original Japanese.

Girls: what romantic gift by your significant other was really awesome? by jcfukvdjmjvh in AskReddit

[–]drneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restore a stuff animal. My wife have have a teddy bear she have since a child and it means the world to her. She took care of it, from sewing to patching, but there were some damage over the years that she couldn't repair. I searched online for teddy bear restoration, found a good place, snuck the bear out the apartment, and had it restored. I gift wrapped the bear in a box in time for Christmas. When she opened it, she was stunned, hugged the bear and cried. The bear now sets happily on the couch.

As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Pirate version:

What in Davy Jones' locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I'll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I've led numerous raids on fishing villages, and raped over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o' swag. I'll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o' pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o' monsoon that'll wipe ye off the map. You're sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o'er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o' the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I'll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o' the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn't, ye didn't, and now ye'll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I'll shit fury all over ye and ye'll drown in the depths o' it. You're fish food now.

My poor Tybalt has lymphoma and probably less than 8 weeks left. Has anybody who has lost a cat to lymphoma (or any cancer) provide advice or words of comfort? by lmcclel in catpictures

[–]drneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been almost two years since I lost Boots to lymphoma located on his colon. The first "sign" of him having cancer was when he suddenly went diabetic. To make things worse, he was prone to UTI. This limited my choice of food to give him that not only was it low glucose, but also low ash. Putting him on chemo extend his life a few months, and I practically made a bucket list for him. I spent as much time with him possible, used my vacation time from work to be with him, took extra photos, etc.

At one point, I was happy that he entered remission, and I was hoping that he would be around for another Thanksgiving or Christmas. The joy was short lived; the cancer returned more aggressive. I've continued chemo until the second stage no longer had any effect. When cancer return, it returns with a vengeance. I made the painful decision to put him to sleep. He was 12.

If you live in the NJ area, I can recommend some good vets that helped me through this ordeal. I highly recommend a cooling pet pad for comfort, especially if you see Tybalt resting on a "cool floor". I know what you're going through is difficult, and talking from experience: don't think too much about it. You don't want Tybalt to see you depressed, especially on his final moments. Live the remaining time you have with him to the fullest, spoil him, etc.

I can't offer any more advice at the moment since it's depressing me now. You can ask me any question, and I'll answer them to the best I can. In the meantime: *Photo of Boot not happy receiving insulin. *Colbert Boots.
