I know at least some implementations of the BIOS flashback require that the CPU not even be present in the system otherwise it won't activate/work in the first place.

Except for a very, very early BIOS the board shipped with, he's never had a problem with the system. That said, the Tomahawk hasn't been any "better" than the Gigabyte board I have and at least when I need to go into the BIOS to do something on my Gigabyte I can find what I need really fast...

I basically swore off Asus boards back in the Athlon days. I had an A7V-133, A7V-266a and an A7N8x-DLX. A buddy who usually built/upgraded the same time as me also had the exact same boards in his system. Every single one of them died within months. The system would either shut down when turned...

I was only asking because I figured most or all bunkers had already been dropped and at the time we were about 600k under the previous throw but that number would likely shrink throughout the day but possibly not by enough. As it is we've overshot the previous throw already so what I had would...

I know the day's Javelin throw isn't very old but I was wondering if we might need/want to add some more to it? Just getting the question in for a response closer to the time the day's throw will end. I have a small bunker I'm almost done with which I was going to save for the last throw and...

There are options in AMD's control panel which if enabled will disable Freesync. Make sure you don't have any of those enabled. The Freesync toggle should be pretty obvious and included in all of the other settings.

I was wondering how we were going to handle this. At the moment I've been keeping my 5800x mostly on Primegrid as it's the only CPU I have which can handle it decent with my 2600x on Ramanujan Machine. I've been doing a bit of RM and NFS on the 5800x while gaming since both projects are a lot...

Looks like the Steeplechase starts in less than three days and it's another CPU project, SiDock.

Bot? No. Paid shill? Yes.

The end of 2023 was the last gasp of the good deals. Prices have only been going up since then.

Do we know yet if we're going to throw the first javelin or not? I'm planning on adding a little to it but it seems I've pulled some work units that have a deadline of about 3.5 days.

You just described the reason I say the first of the rebooted Tomb Raider games was by far the best. It was a very well done, tight story which integrated into the whole of the game to make it all feel like every quest mattered. It's a pity they lost that in the two later games by going for the...

It's one of the reasons I've been running Primegrid lately. F@H pissed me off (again) but there's practically no medical projects around right now. The last time I tried WCG I couldn't even pull a work unit for CPU or GPU; although that's been a while now.

It also indicates it will use around 20 MB of cache so it's probably good to keep that in mind. I haven't swapped over my Ryzen 2600x yet but I'm not sure if I'm going to since it only has 16 MB of cache.

I don't have a Radeon VII but I've been using CoreCTRL for a few years now with RX570s and a 6750xt and never once have I had a problem with it. For reference I'm running Manjaro on both my systems.
