Appliance-chipped timers II by
Flasherly[_2_]
They're relatively new, from a mechanical-priced range for direct
Chinese digital imports, to domestic and variously rebadged, up to
$20-ish on premium digital unit mark-ups, although altogether and
widely averaged out, the digital is no less an accessible commodity.
Newer digitals, however, are...

Are a dollar for the movement behind a piece of paper sold for $20.
Looking at market bearings, a programmable event alarm linked to an
exterior power source, which turns on or that source along with an
apparent light of LED confidence.
Appliance timers are selling for $20. Not mechanical trips...

ITE IT8620E
I find this above chip on both MBs below, a chip specifically
developed exclusively for Gigabyte.
Gigabyte f(rev6.0) (older)
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 R2 (rev1.0) (newer)
Not, long a few months between acquirement and some apparent
adjustments between.

Crucial bit-rotted not by
Flasherly[_2_]
Crucial_CT256MX100SSD1, released for first MLC 16nm SSD.
Bought it possibly five years ago, and implemented for data storage
considerations three or more years ago. The smallest consideration is

2-in-1 RAM adapter by
SC Tom
Years and years ago, there used to be these adapters that you could plug 2
sticks of RAM in to increase the amount memory in each slot (had some on an
old 386 or 486 PC).
Are they still being made that would work on DDR3 RAM, or are the newer
memory speeds making that unstable? I have a number...

new Threadripper 3900 memory access modes? by
[email protected]
I read a review at wccftech, which has this intriguing sentence:
With memory access modes, users can select between UMA (maximum memory bandwidth) and NUMA (lowest latency) modes.
So what is going on? I guess there are 2 memory controllers which are
married to a CPU die, but can be linked to act...

Full circle as my first SSD was a samsung 128G Samsung

This was all MLC and old MLC, way before much else was around
Then an HP "planar MLC" which is newer but an older model from a sale

12-core AMD 3900X - does it need better cooling? by
John Savard
The recent announcement of the 3950X from AMD startled me.
Unlike the other new Ryzens, it doesn't include a Wraith cooler in the box.
Instead, it is recommended that at least a 280mm AIO cooler be used with it.
Not being an overclocker, I had to do some web searching to get a feel for what

PC no bootee, but drives visible by
[email protected]
It's an old Dell Inspiron. Has i3 sticker on, but somebody upgraded to i5.
Will not boot from hard disk or CD. The drives show up in BIOS.
The Dell has diagnostic in boot menu, which tests RAM and drives.
Althought these are "DST" short tests, which don't appear to do a scan.
Swapped the drives...

SSD - is it worth the extra? by
Melmail_9494
Hi guys,
Just a quick question. I am considering going to SSD. I am not that
familiar with the ins and outs of SSD vs. regular HDD but do you think
SSD is worth the extra outlay?
Thanks
