It’s a real company, that ad looks as if it could be real as well, given that face is used on their website

I’d never heard of arrow lake dying like raptor has been? wild.

as far as I’m aware, those should be fine, I’d still recommend upgrading to the latest SBIOS (3.40) where available

But ASRock 800 series AM5 boards are killing granite ridge 3D CPUs en masse. Funny enough, it happened to me.

I begrudgingly switched to Asus after my CPU was RMA’d as that was the only other vendor to offer ECC compat on a consumer platform.

I’ll consider you lucky. I’ve had many experiences with their hardware across different segments (phones, tablets, laptops, mainboards, NICs, displays, GPUs).

They’re an atrocious vendor with extremely poor customer support (and shitty SW practicies for UMA systems and motherboards).

I don’t think many people have been as unfortunate as I have with them, the general consensus is they mark their products up considerably relative to competition (particularly mainboards & GPUs).

To be fair, their contemporaries arent much butter.

in that situation, Asus are the shitty part, though it is nice to see more TV-sized monitors. Fuck HDMI.

which distro and hardware config? Can’t speak to docker as I don’t use that any more, I’ve yet to get stuck into homeassistant, but games are just click and run on most distros with steam?

can they temporarily remove the GPU to give you a better look at the lower half of the mainboard?

If you get a shot of the rear IO, you can probably determine what is is using the AM4 google sheet, though that’d be a bit long winded.

in a notebook? would you be willing to try something like a graphite pad?

I’ll make my own internet… with blackjack

For whatever it’s worth, i learned something today from the other guy above in the thread, and I think it’s valuable that you shared your experience.

I’m laying into you for wasting people’s time in a forum designed to offer help to people who are out of options by attempting to put out some sort of “gotcha” post under an extremely flimsy premise whilst being extremely rude to everyone around you.

I don’t like to be mean to strangers on the internet but I feel like you deserve an exception; the posterchild of /r/iamverysmart

I’m familiar with ECC, don’t worry.

You may be unaware that this is used in even consumer grade gfx hardware (depending on the IHV)

phones with cameras were everywhere as far back as the mid 2000s

so you took the time to photograph memtest with a psp but not the damaged hardware you were working on?

show us the caps you’ve replaced on the board.

that’s still not making sense to me. this is an environment composed entirely in sw. I’m not sure even a failing / damaged gfx adapter would behave in this specific way.

this sounds fucking awful but you’d be surprised how far you can get into percieved ‘regular functionality’ when arbitrarily removing caps from the board.

show us the after screen and show us the caps replaced on the asic.

except that this blatantly isn’t a test, and that wasn’t the answer? baby what is you doing?

that still doesn’t explain this specific behaviour. habibi why are you so mad

you posted this in a tech support community, it doesn’t sound as if you need support. I’m not sure what you really wanted here?

the interesting this is that you attributed this anomaly to gfx hardware, in an environment which isn’t composed by gfx hardware.
