I saw people (and Linus) comment on the ebuy7 stuff. I only used pads from ebay UK. The one from an UK seller exhibited clear curing behaviour. Then an identically looking pad from China via ebay didn't exhibit such behaviour but is working well enough. I also have a tube of 7958 from ebuy7 wich looks similar to what @cylixposted. Have yet to try it out.

Sorry no, it was an ebay purchase. I would recommend getting the branded stuff from ebuy7. Took maybe ten BDs to arrive with fairly cheap shipping.

Hmm, what do you guys think about the actual difference between those 2 memory kits? VENGEANCE® 96GB (2x48GB) DDR5 DRAM 5200MHz C38 Memory Kit — Black 5200 38-38-38-84 and VENGEANCE® 96GB (2x48GB) DDR5 DRAM 5600MHz C40 Memory Kit 5600 40-40-40-77 The 5200 JEDEC profile for this, is also 38-38-38-84 They are almost the same price, $10-20 difference. I am not sure I will be able to run them at more than 5200 (my fury beast 5600 barely boots at 5600, and 5400 probably good enough for light benching but unstable in 4x config), but the question is: which one is likely to have better timings at 5200? Is there really any difference (given the almost identical price), or is just some marketing gimmick? Could the 5600 variant be better binned? I understand memory chips to be Micron BTW. The 5200 variant has a bit better availability... Put another way: is it likely that the 5600 SKU is better binned, so will likely run at 5600 with no issues in the future, IMC/mobo permitting, and could end up with better timings at 5200, or is there unlikely to be any difference between the two in practice? My Fury Beast 5600CL40 runs at 5200 30-38-38-38-70 completely stable which is fairly good I guess. Would be disappointing to see a significant regression. I think (but not sure) the RAM is SK Hynix, not Micron though.

GPT-4: What is it and how does it work? It can accept visual prompts to generate text and, interestingly, scores a lot higher in the uniform bar exam than GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT did (it scored in the top 10% of test makers, while GPT-3.5 scored in the bottom 10%). It's also more creative and has a larger focus on safety and preventing misinformation spread. There are other performance improvements as per the company's research, including improvements in Leetcode, AP level class, and SAT results. So, let's unpack: * More creative, although that's hard to quantify - still, an ongoing full frontal attack on what was previously hoped would be a fairly unique feature of HI (Human Intelligence), besides the Holy Grail of AI: self-awareness * Even more advanced content filtering according to OpenAI's idea of what's information and what's misinformation. * Vastly improved performance on the bar exam and LSAT scores, humans need not apply - a huge step towards making lawyers, and other legal professionals redundant * Significantly improved SAT Math scores, but struggling with introductory-level college stuff, fortunately for mathematicians/engineers (not for very long would be my guess) * A large bump in USABO / medical knowledge exams (medical and biotech professionals/students: start getting ready!) * Codeforces rating upgraded but still really poor - seems like top programmers are kind of further down the line from the AI chopping block (but the sociopaths at OpenAI are doing what they can to change that) * Doing well with college level Art History and Biology All this progress in less than a year from the introduction of GPT 3.5.... For the last century or so, people have been given a social mobility route through their intelligence, hard work and education. Soon AI will not only cut this off for most, but also destroy the livelihoods of those who have historically managed to leverage that opportunity.

Haven't had a chance to play around with VMs yet, although KVM seems to come recommended these days on Linux over VMware and VirtualBox.

50C in CB23? Edit: Nm, it's the 7800X3D, 8 cores, so plausible. BTW AIDA read throughput looks a bit low for 6000. What gives? AFAIR my slow 5600@5200 modules push more (in AIDA, about 65GBps in other benchmarks), despite higher latency. Is that an AMD+AIDA thing?

Hang in there friends, some good news for us consumers, finally. Don't pay any scalpers off! TSMC Expects Q2 Sales Drop as Clients Struggle to Clear Inventory

Nice catch. Would just open a bug report.

Elon went on Fox News where he told Tucker Carlson how Twitter was overstaffed, so he fired 80%. They had a good laugh about it. Meanwhile, a positive development for a change: Elon threatened to sue M$ for "illegal use" of Twitter data for AI training purposes: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/elon-musk-says-he-ll-sue-microsoft-for-training-illegally-using-twitter-data-in-row-over-ads/ar-AA1a4Gwn

Should be enough in theory, 6.0 is more for Raptor Lake. Sounds like something is not working right though.

Oh yeah, with the first, better, pad, the temps kept improving for the first two days or so.

Over time weeks to months. First warnings signs are deteriorating temps. Absolutely resist the temptation to tighten the contact frame to improve temps (thinking that maybe the IHS is misaligned).

Bent CPU and failed IHS solder, then bent pins ultimately. Well you are replacing a factory-calibrated ILM, with a mechanism where you no longer have that calibrated pressure applied on the IHS. Uneven pressure can cause the pins to bend, and potentially the solder to weaken.

And once again, what time frame? Have a link? Sachs who? Crooked Goldman? Could Google results be biased BTW? Anyway, +18% unemployment would be tantamount to economic cataclysm, made worse by the fact that initially a lot of the jobs lost will be high paying (huge ripple effect on the local economy). There is no comparable situation in the past, all the estimates are biased best case scenarios. Unemployment doesn't tell you how poor/wealthy the employed are, and there will be huge downward change there as well, pretty much across the board. It must be easy to think "oh, I'm a tradesman etc so I don't care", that's just a lack of fundamental economic awareness. Economy is interconnected. Once you start losing clients and getting undercut by all the new tradesmen entering the field out of neceessity you will care, and at that point it will be too late. Unlike the Great Depression, the changes will be permanent and getting ever worse. Probably the most interesting, the least weak so to speak, bit of the whole Musk-Carlson interview: Selling himself as a "speciest", while still watering things down there quite a bit, for example "AI cannot be distributed/will be in the data cetnre" - at the moment it is, but sure it can and likely will be distributed in the future, also steering well clear of the topic of economic consequences. Focusing on the Twitter-related aspects, and not at all mentioning his own humanoid robot and the AI efforts at Tesla... Carlson very happy to be just a chummy cheerleader a opposed to being a proper critically-thinking journalist. Elsewhere in the interview Musk basically admitted he is a "specieist", therefore planning to create AI slaves... What could go wrong...

Sorry, what time frame? This year only? Agreed, 2%. That's basically unemployment in the US going up by 50% from where it is today, in some of the highest paying jobs so there will be a snowball effect soon after. Even if those people start flipping burgers for a minimum wage, that's effectively unemployment. Farming is one of the most heavily targetted industries, in 5 years time you are in for a surprise there. Construction? Hold on to your toolbox buddy...

Start weeping for programmers who are next in line. Here too the models have been trained on their own work. Then lawyers. Sure, nobody really likes them, but there are undoubtedly some good jobs in the legal profession that will be gone. Yes, you will still need one to take things to courts, but dealing with a lot of smaller issues and advice will be automated. Then folks like accountants, analysts and scientists. Basically any job which is not significantly physical (those will be a bit safer for a while at least, with the exception of farming and driving). Let's not forget about actors, and film industry professionals, if AI gets to a point where it can generate movies, which are just a collection of individual frames AI can generate extremely well. There is a deeply biased report by OpenAI where they claim "only" about 50% of the jobs will be affected, sad lol. The kind of jobs I can see being unaffected for now are personal services, such as hairdressing etc. The US university system will no doubt collapse. A year at Cornell already costs $90,000... There won't be enough jobs for people to be able to justify spending the time, and paying the exorbitant fees. Capitalism will follow shortly, OpenAI say as much themselves. We can't all be hairdressers, the oldest profession in the world will be overcrowded as well and dime a dozen (being a connaiseur billionaire like the former President will get even better). We can't all be builders, and anyway construction tends to die first during economic downturns. Wages in the "safe" low-skill professions will contract further (already an automation-related trend), due to the pressure from all the newly unemployed trying to make a living. Joy to the world!

On the Intel side the contact frame gimmick helped ruin my mobo, and probably the CPU (delidding repaired it, fortunately). I would have recommended testing with the ILM first.

I imagine part of this must be the fact that it's 790 and 2023, rather that Asus Apex specifically. Lightly regretting not taking a risk with 790 as well lol

What kernel version suffers from those scheduling issues for you?

The problem is that it can be perceived as art, it's basically indistinguishable from it. If this guy didn't say anything, he would have just won the award. Luckily, he was human enough to take a stand. If someone needs a bunch of graphics for their website, they will just use midjourney, dall-e etc and be done with it in a matter of minutes. This will kill most artists, graphics designers etc off. Edit: There is an Elon interview with Tucker Carlson. Generally a harsh critique of Google trying to build a super-AI. Then kind of struggles to justify the creation of his own AI company. Also pretty poor responses regarding the risks of AI (although definitely deserves credit for pointing some out). Talks about the need for regulation, but then his idea of regulation is weak sauce. Tucker Carlson downlplaying the economic risks of AI big time "This thing is cool, can write college papers haha". Idiot. Not worth linking to overall.

Indeed, looks like there is a shortage of 13900KS and even 13900K prices jumped up lol.

Didn't you order an embargo unit (presumably an unverifiable property of the CPU)? How are they going to get more in stock? I don't think Intel is going to re-embargo the CPUs for Provantage to be able to fulfill their orders?

Kernel activity, module or not, shows up as "system" cpu utilisation (e.g. red bar in htop).

Single use, it's like pre-dried paste sandwiched between two layers of foil.

Exactly, benching is one thing, but if 35-36K at 90C in CB23 is achievable, that would be very good for every day, where you do tend to prefer nicely controlled temps just for comfort and noise's sake. As for my 40K @ 258W, just slightly apples to oranges comparison since my result is a super-stable setup, I could lower the voltage quite a bit for CB23 so that 40K gets hit at a lower power (maybe 10-20W less if I were to guess), or would push 41K in CB23 at that voltage. Also, a desktop bencher would do strictly better here with the same CPU settings but 7000-8000 RAM whereas I'm stuck with 5200. Yeah, really curious about PTM7950 vs LM performance, but couldn't find any concrete reviews apart from that Linus video.
