It seems like it is stable at 1.38v, but I don't mind running some additional tests to make sure of it... "I've run both (HCI/P95) at the same time" How did you do this practically? Both Prime95 and HCI are designed to use ALL your RAM. Should I start HCI 24 times (because I have 24 threads)...

That's the weird thing... I could boot to Windows and run Prime95 blend (which also does a pretty good job testing memory I thought?) for many hours without any signs of instability. It was only when booting after a BIOS F10 that it would often hang...

I just tried increasing the RAM voltage from 1.35v to 1.38v and rebooted succesfully from BIOS about 5 times. So it certainly seems to help... Next I'll try to play with this setting a bit more, to see which is the minimum that is stable and then set about 2 0.01v steps higher than that, to make...

I certainly appreciate the advice and don't question it. I was just wondering if there were perhaps less "invasive" alternatives than increasing the voltage "in all situations, even when it isn't really required".

Thanks, but isn't there a way to "fix" the issues by only changing (like increasing voltage) something during POST? Because when in the OS, everything seems rocksolid stable, no? I agree slightly bumping voltages probably isn't a disaster, but it will slightly decrease lifespan and I'd like to...

Hi everyone, I've just replaced my 32GB RAM with 64GB RAM, but I'm having some trouble I was hoping you guys can help me with... Below my hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT Boxed MSI MEG X570 UNIFY (latest non-beta BIOS 7C35vAA) ASRock Radeon RX 5700 Challenger D 8G OC Fractal Design Define R6 USB-C...

fyi: It seems like the root cause was a broken CPU. After replacing the CPU (first temporarily with my desktops Ryzen, later by RMAing it for a new Ryzen 3600), the problems are gone. So the problem was not caused by TrueNAS <-> AMD incompatibility. Although perhaps not perfect, my experience...

Thanks again for your good feedback! The case temp is monitored by a sensor on the motherboard. It's called "Card Side Temp" in the IPMI, so I suppose it is close to some PCI-e slot. I suppose you are correct that my case airflow is indeed not perfect. As I'm indeed using low pressure / low...

Thanks a lot for the very correct feedback! However, in this case, I think, it may be a slightly different situation... My case temp is 31°C (2x 140mm intake fans, very obstructed by HDDs, and 1x, unobstructed, 140mm outtake fan), so case temp is ok, but airflow that reaches the motherboard is...

Here is the end result after the mod: I've used a stock Intel CPU cooler like this I used a Dremel to saw off the bottom part of the fins (so that it doesn't touch the PCI-e slot) I've bend the fins a little to so the bolt fits in between I used some washers from an old watercooling set (AMD...

After a lot of patience, soaking with cotton pads and rubbing, here is the result: Thanks for the feedback!

Hi all, I think my current HBA (Dell H310) might be broken, as my ZFS pool is constantly getting corrupted data. Although it is actively cooled (by a 1000rpm 120mm fan at 7 cm distance), I can't think of any other reason than that heat has caused it to die in less than a year. As these HBAs are...

Aha, it seems like the soaking with IPA is VERY slowly starting to have effect (on the chip at least). I was going to try to put an old CPU heatsink on it, so the original heatsink doesn't matter much if it stays dirty...

I've just put a soaked cotton pad on it for 5 minutes and the extremely thin leftovers on the chip don't even come off a little bit... It has zero effect at all... Again, I don't think this is alcohol based... IPA has zero effect on this... It seems a bit like a thermal pad (as it pretty thick...

Does anyone know how to remove this kind of thermal compound? 99% Isopropyl Alcohol has no effect at all on this, so I guess it isn't alcohol based...
