  • It Works!

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 3 12:04:41 2023
    I put my new build together this morning. It booted second time - I had
    the power LED & Power Switch connectors reversed.

    Gigabyte's control Centre has updated drivers and the BIOS and all seem
    well so far. Enormous relief that I can still do it after my experience
    with squished pins last time.

    I have ordered an additional CPU power cable as the one I thought I had
    found last night isn't modular, there seems to be a view that you don't
    need the additional power if you don't overclock (which I won't) but I
    want it to be stable of course.

    Is the Sabrent Rocket NVMe a good bet as the boot device? The one I have
    on the old PC is faster than any of the others I have.

    Well pleased!

    Are you confused about gender?

    Working my way round the EUFI BIOS. Memory was running at 2.2 something (GB/s???) which was odd as it is 3,600 memory. The BIOS had an option to
    run it at higher speed which I ticked and it is now running at the full
    3,600/ That made no difference at all to the benchmarks though!

    The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant

    The Sabrent arrived today, it's PCIe 4 instead of the Crucial which was 3 (something along those lines anyway) SSD BM says:

    Crucial R/W 1679/909 overall 1950
    Sabrent R/W 4288/2365 overall 6184

    I am now officially the slowest object in this house!

    My Mattias keyboard bounces and I managed to mispell my user name, might re-install tomorrow, the hassle in adding another user is unbelievable...

    How does a gender neutral bog differ from a unisex bog ?
    It has a non-binary number on the door.
