pintie Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 maybe someone can help me... i got my 7670 today. i installed 3 x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSDs Bios is in RAID mode, and shows the 3 SSD's i installed Win 11, had to put the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers on the Stick... once loaded the windows setup showed me the 3 SSD's. i installed on the first one. once installed the Dell tool loaded all the drivers and so on. i used the intel rapid storage tool to create a RAID 0 with the 3 SSD's. that worked and took about 1 hour. Well - after reebot i get that screen - and there is no way to fix it. installed windows 2 times and waited 2 hours for the raid. any ideas ? As far as i understand i can't create a RAID in Bios. i have to create it in Windows with the iRST Tool ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron44126 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 If you included the drive containing your Windows install in the RAID array, you are toast. You have to reinstall. The proper thing to do here would be set up the array before you do the Windows install. You can set up RAID arrays from the BIOS. Hit "F12" at boot to get the boot device select screen. It's one of the obscure options on this menu, something generic like "System configuration" will get you to the Intel RAID setup. 2 Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10/11 LTSC Spoiler Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) M2 Max 4 efficiency cores 8 performance cores 38-core Apple GPU 96GB LPDDR5-6400 8TB SSD macOS 15 "Sequoia" 16.2" 3456×2234 120 Hz mini-LED ProMotion display Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 99.6Wh battery 1080p webcam Fingerprint reader Also — iPhone 12 Pro 512GB, Apple Watch Series 8 Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 IPS display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3) 95Wh battery 720p IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7770, 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron44126 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 See if there are additional options in the F12 boot menu and try booting a different one, to see if that will get the Windows install to continue. (It seems like it is "remembering" the pre-RAID configuration and trying to boot that.)

pintie Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 i deleted the old RAID completly. and created a new one in this nice 80's menu 🙂 then i boot from usb stick and install win 11 (22H2) - and now it shows me one big drive. i create a partition and install. after the setup transfered all the files it restarts. and then the same message like the screenshot appears. F12 lets me boot from "UEFI RSTIntel RAID0 5.4TB (RAID 0)" or Windows Boot Manager. both don't work. I guess the RAID driver is missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download & extract the Intel Rapid Storage driver from the Precision 7X70 support site. Inside (a few levels down) you will find a folder called "f6vmdflpy-x64". Copy it to a flash drive. In the Windows installer, when you get the part asking what drive you want to install on, click the "Load driver" button and point it to that folder on your flash drive. .......Then try running the install and it "should" work?

pintie Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 sorry - i meant maybe the driver is not copyed to the SSD. i need to load the driver like you said in the win Setup. i give it another try an the will go to bed 🙂 its late in Germany... otherwise it is nice hardware.

Aaron44126 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Linux install quick feedback. Installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 with minimal hassle. Had to do manual partition option to get around it wanting me to disable BitLocker... Even so, it automatically set up Grub with an entry to boot Windows. So, now I have triple boot, Windows 10 / Windows 11 / Ubuntu Linux. Installing Ubuntu with UEFI + Secure Boot enabled is a bit weird. You have to set up a password and then enter it again at boot time so that it can sign some binary packages. This is needed for third-party drivers like the NVIDIA driver. This is not explained very well and I had to look up what to do when I got to the blue MOK screen. Even so, I had to jump through some hoops after the install to get it to load the proprietary NVIDIA driver. I installed a few pieces of software from third-party PPA's and they seem to work fine. It boots fast. I clicked to reboot for updates and looked away for what I felt like was 10 seconds and it was already sitting at the login screen again. USB mouse attached. Cursor movement seems too slow, even with the cursor speed slider in settings set all of the way to the right. (Looks like there are some terminal-y things that I can do to try to improve this.) With graphics switching enabled (Intel GPU driving the display), it won't let me pick 120Hz, it is limited to 60Hz. Hmmm? I wonder if the stock kernel has an appropriate Intel graphics driver included. (I haven't tried with graphics switching disabled.) Windows made me re-enter the BitLocker recovery key the first time I booted it after the Linux install... That seems to have been a one-time thing. I was worried that it wouldn't like Grub being loaded before the Windows boot loader and that would make it ask for the key every time. I have a laundry list of things that will need to be addressed & investigated before I can consider running Linux as a daily driver. I am interested in taking a stab at it though, since I am continually frustrated by the direction that Microsoft is taking with Windows. I might post about it over in the Linux section here. I'm not that worried about games — that used to be a sticking point with Linux, but in the days of Wine + Steam Proton + Lutris + etc., it looks like almost everything will work fine with a bit of tweaking. It's mostly "all of the rest of the computing stuff" that I am worried about. I do have Windows software that I rely on which has no Linux equivalent, so I expect that I'll be keeping a Windows VM around and on pretty much all of the time, even if I do pull off a switch to Linux. Anyway... I plan to continue running Windows 10 LTSC for now but also pop over to Linux from time to time to try and whittle my list down. [Edit] Looks like Ubuntu 22.04 ships with kernel 5.15. For Alder Lake graphics, need (at least) 5.16. And, 5.18 for proper Alder Lake scheduling. I don’t want to finagle with an unofficial kernel build, so I guess I am waiting for 22.04.2….

My desktop actually runs Manjaro, and it runs a Windows Server VM to be a fileserver and domain server, and also "Work" and "Play" VMs. "Play" is a fully isolated VM, whereas "Work" has lots of premade RDP shortcuts to the many VMs I have running on other servers (and also Fortnite, because, well, Fortnite). The GPU is fully dedicated to one of those two VMs while they run, and completely switches back to Manjaro when they shut down. so I pretty much consider this my "Holy Grail" configuration. It is rock-solid stable doing these things, running 2 of the 3 VMs at a time. The only tradeoffs is that I have three VMs that are .qcow2 files that I need to back up now and then, instead of the usual VHDXs that I use with Hyper-V on my servers. In an ideal world, I could figure out how to do this in Windows Server, thus mitigating the need for Linux at all, but my feeling is that this is an area that Linux has far more advanced technology than Windows does. If I could get all the stuff above to work on my Precision 7760, even with Linux, then that would be really cool. But I feel it would take a lot of trial and error, and the few times I attempted it, I didn't get too far. Thinking about it makes me really want to try again, though... 1 P7730 / 6-core / 64GB ECC RAM / 3 x 2TB NVME; P7760 / 8-core / 128GB ECC RAM Steiger Dynamics 16 core Ryzen 7950X / RTX A6000 48GB GPU / 128 GB RAM / 5x4TB NVME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an issue with 5.19.12 that broke the iGPU driver (black screen with flickering) for 11th and 12th gen laptops, but that has been fixed with 5.19.13. Is that the issue you experienced? As far as Linux laptop experiences go the Precision is pretty good, other than the fact that it only support Modern Standby which I have to deactivate via the Block Sleep bios option.

That would be nice. The one that you have linked is the GME variant, mine is JME.

pintie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 well i did not get Windows installed on a 3 SSD raid. (tried different ISOs, integrated the RAID drivers within the ISO, tried all Bios settings...) who wants to inject the needed drivers in the Iso - here is a good manual : https://thunderysteak.github.io/windows-setup-driver-injection in the end i didn't work. Windows is installing like allways, copying files to the SSD and needs a reboot. after this it only pops up the window i posted. "missing boot configuration"... now i installed it on drive one, and have a RAID with the two other SSDs. its working so far... I will do some benchmarks later.

pintie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 so my 7670 with i9-12950hx gets 18000 points in cinebench 23 multicore out of the box with no tuning. it has 100°C instantly, and uses 128W power.

Kataphract Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 18K is actually fantastic result. Even the Asus Strix SE only reaches 21K (150W power draw) in its most extreme settings (From today's KitGuru review). Just to make sure, everyone is quoting the default 10 minute loop CB23 or single-pass ? Edit: 18K for single-pass in my 26C room ambient. 12850X. Honestly can imagine 21 if I take it to balcony :- ). Yeah my room is too hot but I have 1KW workstation going on under table and my windows is open all the time.. It does settle shortly into +/- 130W as well, so it can't sustain the 150+ for too long. I presume the Asus can since it has 21K. But reviewers really need to define what benchmark settings were used, CB23 is the first which has throttle test as stock default option. Further benching revealed no power limits for me either, boosts easily into 160W short-term, sustains 75-80W for 2 minute benchmarks (Corona). So just thermal limits and throttling. I am really pondering repaste more.. Adding Liquid Metal (Conductonaut) to my Razer Blade, will see how much it helped there and will decide after whether the risk is worth it. Perhaps interesting tidbit for someone: The 128GB CAMM module I have features dies of the same 2400MHz (4800 MT/s) memory, so it's just memory profile that limits it to 3600 MT/s. Theoretically, if someone has specific bandwidth limited process, they can disable two modules and set the frequency to 4800 MT/s. Not something I will be testing as I don't have any such workloads. @Easa: Indeed, fellow man from Bratislava/SK :- ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it could be doable in a laptop. Yep. It's actually gotten a bit easier since then. Precisions have a hardware MUX so you can hand off the dGPU to a VM pretty easily. They really are a mobile workstation. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
