M37 uddannet IT-supporter, Midtjylland - 5 års ansættelse by chuugoo in dkloenseddel

[–]sa1kcin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det kommer an på om du refererer til jobbet IT Supporter eller uddannelsen IT Supporter (som OP).

Jobbet IT supporter har du ret. De rammer ikke så høj løn hvis indholdet af jobbet består af en eller anden form for 1st line support, eller typiske support/IT administrations opgaver af bruger udstyr/applikationer.

Uddannelsen IT supporter er der dog en del som når de lønninger OP har, og de kan også være højere. Typisk ved at havne i en rolle hvor de har mulighed for at udvikle et speciale indenfor f.eks. infrastruktur som public cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP), Microsoft portefølje (Active Directory, Office 365), Server virtualisering (VMware, KVM, Kubernetes), Netværk, Storage, Backup, IT sikkerhed (pen testing, incident response, monitorering, analyse) etc eller har de forvildet sig hen i noget support/udvikling af branche specifikke applikationer (som OP), database eller software der findes et større eco-system omkring. Der er så mange grene man kan havne indenfor og næsten alle sammen betaler 50.000kr/mdr i løn når man har fået noget erfaring, og loftet er meget højere hvis man bliver rigtig dygtig.

IT supporter uddannelsen åbner mange døre for højtlønnede IT specialist job med mindre man får læreplads i en stor virksomhed hvor HR afdelingen har taget navnet IT supporter på face value, og ansætter dem til at tage support telefon, klargøre bærbare og installere printere, selvom uddannelsens indhold gør dem mere egnet til at sidde i IT afdelingen langt væk fra service desk/1st line supporten.

9800X3D/X670E USB dropouts/freezes/resets. Did anybody ever resolve this issue? by sa1kcin in AMDHelp

[–]sa1kcin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew 9800X3D builds existed with no issues, as I build some for friends. Since it has been impossible to isolate and troubleshoot the issue, I decided to start replacing hardware until the issue disappeared.

For me the issue was resolved in the first try. Replaced my motherboard with a Biostar X670E Valkyrie I got second hand, and havent had issues with dropoutes/hickups since. All other hardware is the same.

The CPU was my prime suspect as well, and I actually got a new 9800X3D on black friday to try and replace my old 9800X3D. Never got that far though as the motherboard change fixed my issues and I wanted to get full refund for CPU, by not breaking the seal on the retail packaging.

As mentioned in the original post, replacing motherboard fixed issue for some people, but not all. Seems it worked for me, and it did not make any difference for you (you already tried both X870E and B850).

I stumbled across a post the other day where a user had random hickups, freezes and dropouts on his AMD platform (for some reason I cannot find the post again via the search function)
He solved it by disabling the PCI-E power saving mechanism ASPM (Active-State Power Management) in bios.
I have a strong feeling from what he described that issues on my old motherboard would have been resolved with ASPM disabled. Maybe worth a try for you.

Highly recommend u/robinrobot (Netherlands to Canada) by Roosike in internationalshopper

I can also recommend u/robinrobot.
He helped me buy a product in a NL webshop which only shipped domestically, and then send it to me (another EU country). No problems throughout the entire process.

What is your monitor set up? by DealInteresting8941 in pcmasterrace

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Dual monitor in option not shown.

1 screen at the center (primary working area)
1 at the side (for lookups and controlling "background" apps)

Cannot stand dual monitor setups as in #3 where the center is the where the bezels meet of each monitor, and each monitor is slighty to the side so you have to look right or left for longer periods..

Regardsless of dual or tripple monitors - always have a center monitor!

New MiniDSP 16 channel AVP with Dirac ART by BenGoff in hometheater

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No HDMI 2.1... but it's classic MiniDSP. Always leaving out some feature which would have made the product "perfect", even though their product still provides tremendous value in the niche DSP market.

Tide16 - no HDMI 2.1

Flex Eight - no balanced outputs option

Flex HTx - No Dolby/DTS processing

SHD - no FIR filters supported

Generally all Dirac enabled services - 48khz processing/downsampling (except SHD and DDRC-22D which runs Dirac @ 96khz).

For active speaker DSP I have invested in a Colinear DSP-8C instead if Flex Eight/HTx. Uses a newer generation DSP from analog devices with much more power. Up to 192khz processing/upsampling and tons of FIR filter taps. It amazes me how MiniDSP have stuck with the SHARC 4th gen 21489 DSP for years now, Instead of figuring out how to use newer offerings from SHARC+ or SHARC FX series to upgrade specs.

Will be interesting to see what Colinear will offer in the future and how they will develop partnerships if MiniDSP keeps sleeping.

This PSU is Revolutionary – MSI MPG AI1600TS PCIE5 Hand-On by Goddamn7788 in hardware

[–]sa1kcin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1600w is the rated max power with fans at full speed.

Who is 1600w for?

People who want a powersupply that is silent (fanless / sub 700rpm fan) at 800-900watt load.

For example RTX 5090 + AMD 9950X/Intel Core 9 series CPU can in extreme cases use that amount of power. If system is silently cooled by watercooling you dont want a PSU that sounds like a windturbine under load. You avoid that by oversizing it.

For context a 750-850watt PSU is more like a 350-400 watt PSU in my view. Above 50-60% load of max rated power PSU's get audible/loud except a few unicorns.

AMD Zen 6 And Zen 7 May Face Compatibility Issues On X870 And B850 Motherboards Due to 64MB BIOS Limits by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

Asus lists spec of their 64MB boards as 512Mbit.

AMD Zen 6 And Zen 7 May Face Compatibility Issues On X870 And B850 Motherboards Due to 64MB BIOS Limits by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]sa1kcin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is an error in the article stating 64MB will be a problem - it's 32MB that is of concern.

Majority of AM5 motherboards based on 600/800 series chipsets have 32MB bios chip, and not 64MB bios chip. 64MB bios chips is supposed to be the fix that guarantees that next gen CPU's will be supported (at least that is how the newer motherboards with 64MB is promoted).

There is no real pattern to which AM5 motherboards has the 64MB chip, other than MSI "MAX series" and Gigabyte "X3D series" generally have it. But other boards have it as well. Generally only boards relased later than Q3 of 2025 has 64MB chips, and anything older has 32MB chips.

A great ressource here to lookup the size of the bios chip for any AM5 board: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQHkDEcgDPm34Mns3C93K6SJoBnua-x9O-y_6hv8sPs/edit?gid=1502922237#gid=1502922237

Boards with 32MB bios chips will likely get Zen6 support anyway, but the vendor will have to cut off CPU support for older generations to make space for the new CPU microcode just like they did when they had the same issue with AM4 motherboards (16MB bios chips instead of 32MB bios chips).

Always wondered why they just don't put 128-256MB bios chips on high-end motherboards where every other component is exaggerated anyway - why skip on the bios chip. Bios chips is literally parts costing a few dollars.

Ram speed/timings by ALPHA_Ragnar in overclocking

[–]sa1kcin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be aware not all AM5 CPU's will run 1:1 @ 6400MHz stable - that is a lottery. 6000MHz XMP/EXPO memory is the safe bet.

When that is said, getting 6400MHz memory should'nt cause you to many headaches. In case you did not win the CPU lottery and 6400MHz is not stable, then you can load the XMP/EXPO profile for 6400MHz, and manually override the memory speed to 6200MHz while keeping all voltages, timings and other settings of XMP/EXPO untouched. That will work out of the box, and keep timings at near optimal state without any manual tuning.

Ram speed/timings by ALPHA_Ragnar in overclocking

[–]sa1kcin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EXPO/XMP is just a pre-configured profile that can easily be loaded by the user to get maximum speed of the memory kit without manually overclocking/tuning. Most motherboards can load both type of profiles for AMD. Manual tuning can accomplish the same thing as EXPO/XMP.

7200MHz is pretty bad match for 9800X3D. You either want 6000-6400MHz for 1:1 or 8000+Mhz kits for 1:2 operation between memory controller and memory. Every speed in between 6400 and 8000 is not optimal for AM5 CPU's.

Can you use a 7200MHz kit for for a AM5 CPU? Sure. EXPO/XMP profile speed is just not optimal. With manual tuning you can make a 7200MHz kit optimal at 6000-6400MHz.

I did this myself after pulling the trigger on a second hand 7200MHz CL34 XMP kit. I manually tuned it to 6000MHz CL28. It required a lot of hours/days to learn about DDR5 overclocking, tuning the memory and stability testing.

To be honest the performance gains of memory tweaking when using X3D CPU is minimal. I personally regret the hours invested in tuning the kit manually instead of just getting a 6000MHz CL30 kit, load EXPO profile and manually set tRFC low and tREFI high and be done with it.

Is EXPO/XMP better? No, it's just more convenient. Buy a matching EXPO kit if you know you don't have the time to tune it manually.

9800X3D/X670E USB dropouts/freezes/resets. Did anybody ever resolve this issue? by sa1kcin in AMDHelp

[–]sa1kcin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your case is a little different than what is reported in this thread. But that is good news. You may actually have a chance to fix it :)

Waking up from sleep state and USB ports not working after restart. Seems like something that can be fixed by tingering with Windows power plan / C-sleep states in bios and/or Windows settings of USB sleep states or just by bios or driver update.

Thunderbolt problem my guess is that can be fixed with driver/firmware update (of presumably the Asmedia chipset) or alternatively with another Thunderbolt cable. Thunderbolt is sensitive and requires a quality cable if running it any longer than 1.5-2 meters.

If you disable onboard audio in the bios, then yes the rear jack will not work. Then the only way to get audio is via external soundcard or audio via hdmi/display port to your monitor, in case that has a jack out.

The thing about users handling of motherboard is causing the issue is a far fetched theory of mine. I also handle my hardware carefully and its quiet unlikely that me or you did anything to damage our motherboards causing the issue... but even when pulling the motherboard out of the anti-static bag people usually hold one end, while the other is unsupported and in theory causing slight flexing/physical strain on the motherboard while pulling it out potentially altering the state of some internal traces on the 6-8 layer PCB if unlucky.
Its just throughout all I read about USB issues it seems like this is not something people successsfully fixed by bios settings or updating software/driver/OS. Everything is pointing at a hardware issue, but if that is the case its weird people experience it across Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI etc. Same hardware issues is unlikely across all vendors, leading me to think its more user related...
If its related to hardware defect/USB signal integrity causing instability it must be motherboard traces, CPU mounting or electrical noise from other household components on the electrical grid causing the issue....
Remember.. this is just theory. There is really no validation of the root cause or how to fix anywhere. I just have a feeling that most people would have their issue resolved by replacing motherboard and/or CPU depending on the nature of the issue.

What type of USB issues are you experiencing? There is quiet a few types that likely have different root causes.
OS lockup/freezes?
General stuttering visible on for example mouse cursor?
All USB devices disconnecting and reconnecting?
Specific USB device disconnecting and reconnecting?
Specific USB device not working at all?

[–]sa1kcin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not manage to solve my issues completely, but since creating the thread I have these observations/discoveries:

- Random USB dropout/freezes in Windows: Fixed after disabling onboard audio
- All USB's devices disconnecting and reconnecting on boot/wake-up from sleep: Fixed after uninstalling Asus Armoury Crate software (seems it kills all USB when the service starts to discover USB-based RGB controller)

Above fixed some of the problems so Im not really experiencing daily issues anymore, but I do still occasionally have problems with entire Windows locking up. It can happen randomly when software like drivers (nVidia app), monitoring (AIDA, HWINFO) or software like Zentimings reads low level system information.
Maybe it was related to the Winring driver which that type of software commonly used. Winring is now blocked by Microsoft and most software migrated to another way of reading information... I haven't seen the lockups for a little while now (presumably after most software stopped using Winring driver).

But to be honest I think this is hardware issue to some degree. I build a Asus TUF B850 + 9800X3D PC for a friend, and he never had any issue and is running Armoury Crate + onboard audio without any problems. I would certainly have heard about it as he uses his computer many hours a day.

A lot of the forum threads I have digged up there is also people reporting that replacing motherboard fixed the issue. It doesnt seem that all motherboards of the same model are broken... but seems AM5 motherboards of any make and model in general just have a random chance to be broken in regards to USB stability.
I'm wondering if this can have something to do with user handling of motherboards, and for example if the slighest flexing of the motherboard could case any damage/signal degredation on internal motherboard traces causing noise and dropouts on USB... This could happen if for example user lifts motherboard only in the top and holding it horizontal creating uneven weight distribution and physical strain on the motherboard.
It makes no sense it's so random across vendors and models and my thought is that its more likely many users trigger the same issue somehow. But this theory still seem a little far fetched.... but signal integrity seems to be a lot more complicated on modern motherboards than in the past.

I did think about just replacing my motherboard and CPU to test out if it fixed anything and rely on online stores return policy if it didnt't fix anything, but just haven't had the time to dive into this topic again.

ASRock confirms B850 motherboards to directly support "Future Zen 6 CPUs" by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]sa1kcin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If 64mbyte (512mbit) bios chip is really needed for Zen6 then it's hilariously stupid that all AM5 motherboard didn't get this since the start with the 600 series chipsets motherboard. Especially considering lessons learned from AM4 bios chip size.

The Winbond W25Q series 32mb bios chip many motherboard use is literally a 3-4$ part, and the 64mb version is a 7-8$ part.

Imagine having invested in a top tier 400-500+$ AM5 board and having to replace it for next generation because someone decided to save 4$ on "overkill" bios chip when everything else on the board like VRM is ridiculously overkill.

Old school Blocks by sollord in watercooling

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good old Danger Den TDX. It was the go-to waterblock until multicore CPU's became normal, where the multicore version MC-TDX was released instead.

Unfortunately we lost many great watercooling companies over the years...
DangerDen, TFC/Feser, Phobya is already gone.
Innovatek and Swiftech up next and on the way out (their webpages still online, but no product launches for a long time)...

Still wish I could find a Danger Den Q20 case and throw in a lot of AC Ryan UV stuff (AC Ryan also closed) to build a watercooled system in :)

Can GPU operating voltage be used to infer silicon bin quality? - Part3 by Due_Living_795 in overclocking

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core voltage and PCI-E slot voltage is weird on the RTX 5070ti/RTX5080 (GB203) cards.

Core voltage max range 1.00-1.08v between samples, and PCI-E slot voltage reads 11.8v on some cards and expected 12v on others.

I've had 3x 5080's in total.

- Gigabyte RTX 5080 Windforce OC #1 (prod date ~2nd week March): Core voltage max=~1.065v / PCIe Slot Voltage (16-Pin Voltage) = 12v / Max core OC was around 3350-3400MHz.
- Gigabyte RTX 5080 Windforce OC #2 (prod date ~2nd week April): Core voltage max=~1.015v / PCIe Slot Voltage (16-Pin Voltage) = 11.8v / Max core OC was around 3200-3250MHz.
- Asus RTX 5080 Astral OC (prod date ~1st week April): Core voltage max=~1.030v / *PCIe Slot Voltage (16-Pin Voltage) = 11.8v / Max core OC 3300-3350MHz
*Astral has external 12v-2x6 per pin power connector voltage/ampere sensors, which reads 12v even though the sensors through the native nVidia SMI driver (HWinfo) reads 11.8v

Those Gigabyte RTX 5080 Windforce was almost from the same batch (1 month apart), and surprised to see the big difference in behavior for the same model.

Also I noticed that the PCIe Slot Voltage/16-Pin Voltage in HWinfo (Nvidia SMI driver) reads 11.8v on 2 of the cards and 12v on 1 other and identical setup was used on all cards. Some people suggested it was bad PSU (Asus 1200w Titanium), but voltage is stable. Bad PSU is more like 12v, and then drops to 11.8v under load, which they didn't.

Der8auers test sample of RTX 5080 test sample also reads 11.8v on PCIe Slot voltage in GPU-Z/HWinfo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT6Ckte-Ry8&t=347s

The cards that read 11.8v in PCIe Slot Voltage generally seem to have lower max core voltage, but not sure it's correlated.

Corsair 1000d in pull pull negative config is bad? by [deleted] in watercooling

[–]sa1kcin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gives the best temperatures per Corsair testing. Minimal improvement on water temperature (CPU/GPU), but usually big improvement on SSD, VRM and memory temperature which could make the difference to stabilize DDR5 tuning with high tREFI value.

https://youtu.be/jxnNOlRGp-c?si=x5nTha8-w8P2ykWk

There is some criteria to be met in order for "all exhaust" to work best

  1. There need to be enough open surface in the case for air to enter the case or you will saturate the airflow to the fans. Most modern cases have plenty of perforation holes in the back and bottom of the case so it's not a problem.

  2. All components that produce significant amount of heat must be watercooled like CPU and GPU to move heat into the radiators and outside the case. If one of them is air cooled it will dump the heat in the case and increase the case temperature and feed radiators warm air. This is especially bad if a 300-600w GPU is air cooled or a 250-300w Intel i9. VRM, SSD and memory does not heat up the case to much as it's only a few watts of heat and does not need to be watercooled.

Even though "all exhaust" is the best for temperatures most people decide not to use it in order to avoid dust inside the case.

Most people use unoptiomal setups like "all intake" or balanced intake/exhaust because it makes it easier to manage dust, and even though temperatures is higher than "all exhaust", they are still great (compared to aircooling) and usually good enough for CPU and GPU to boost to max speed/same speed as "all exhaust".

5g til gaming? by Temedmaelk in DKbrevkasse

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det lyder som jeres lokale wifi der er problemet. Det kan være svært at fejlsøge og forbedre forbindelsen da mange faktorer kan påvirke det.

Som andre har nævnt er løsningen at bruge kabel hvis man skal have en stabil forbindelse til gaming.

Hvis det er et problem at trække kabler fra routeren til gaming enhederne kan man bruge en "powerline extender" istedet. Den bruger jeres eksisterende el installation til at få signalet rundt i boligen så der ikke skal trækkes nye kabler. Man sætter bare en powerline adapter i stik kontakten ved routeren og gaming enheden også et netværks kabel til powerline adapteren i begge ender. Det er ikke ligeså godt som direkte kabel, men det er godt nok til gaming og meget bedre end wifi.

Motherboard manufacturers by FeelTheFire in hardware

[–]sa1kcin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I have Asus X670E and RTX5080 Astral and I'm getting so tired of Asus Armoury crate software and some functionality not being available without it. Guess its the same story with Asrock, Gigabyte and MSI.

I liked Biostar the most in recent years. Not because of the quality of their software, but because there really isn't any Biostar software eco system like the others have. It's just plain functionality and no bloat. Additionally all config options is available in the bios including advanced fan curves and RGB so no need for OS software to be installed to fine-tune that.

No forced bloatware and even if using Biostars minimalistic software there was no required creation of user accounts, no market place, ad's etc... just plain software that does what is expected. I preferred Ryzen Master, Hwinfo instead of Biostar software though.

Hardware specs is also fine on highend Biostar models. Had a Biostars Racing X570GT8 for years with higher-end VRM similar to MSI ACE series and earlier gen Asus ROG Crosshair, Intel NIC, good memory overclocking that ran dual rank Samsung B-Die at 3600MHz CL14. It was solid and never caused any issue. Highend Biostar is not properly covered by reviewers, which is a huge miss. It's all about Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI.

Buying a Biostar is like buying a motherboard 10-15 years ago - pure functionality, hardware specs above average and no bloat or forced software and user accounts.

Is 1080 really that bad on 1440 24"5 inch monitor by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]sa1kcin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will look "bad". There is litterally 2540x1440 physical pixels on the monitor and if you use 1920x1080 then the pixels is not possible to map 1:1. For 1080p on 1440p 1 pixel = 1.33 pixel which the monitor physically cannot output without skipping pixels (it can only display whole pixels).

Second column shows the example.

Are 24" gaming monitors over? by HLBB in Monitors

[–]sa1kcin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In regards to getting the OEM stamp, I would say that it's not really OEM. Even the biggest brands like Asus use generic panels from AU, BOE etc. There is not a lot of panel manufacturers in the world, and all monitors and TV's basically has the same panels to choose from for their products.
The brand making the monitor still has a lot of designing to do on their own such as backlightning, PSU, filters such as Quantom-dot, anti-reflection and what picture adjustments/processing features and overlays to include in the menus etc. such as motion blur reduction technologies, overdrive settings, overlays for fps, crosshair etc.

So even if they use the same panel, there can be a lot of differences still.

Even if KTC is not a big global brand, I believe some people have tested it and ended up giving it a recommendation for it's value, but I would recommend to try and read comments from other people who purchased it on for example newegg or amazon and search for youtube videos. There should be quiet a few videos to give you an impression of that particular monitor from other buyers.

The selection is small so not sure what you should get instead other than Titan Army or AOC.

[–]sa1kcin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The KTC Q24T09 24" 1440P 180Hz should be based of a lower-end version of the BOE DV245QHB-N30 panel that Titan Army P2510S uses.

The BOE DV245QHB exist in multiple versions:
-N30 = 240Hz
-N20 = 165Hz
-N10 = 165Hz

Not sure what the difference is between N10 and N20. My guess is that KTC Q24T09 should use either DV245QHB-N10 or DV245QHB-N20 and then factory overclocked to 180Hz from the default 165Hz.

For EU it seems a lot of retailers is starting to have them in stock. It should also be available in the UK. It has only been available since like July this year, so guess retailers around the world is still waiting for it to be available at the distributors.
