Root Access

But Intel's turbo boost (and associated regulation circuitry/configuration/registers) has its own "hard coded" limits, which are overridable on K-series only

Bob

@Dog Would be surprising to see a mobo for a Y-series with the ability to override it.

Actually, on second thoughts, my Cube tablet... well... they pretty much went "enable all the things!"

so I probably have that option somewhere. not sure if it does anything.

Dog

I think it's CPU-controlled (the ability to override), rather like the unlocked multipliers themselves

Bob

ah

Dog

4:16 PM

In my humble experience, the turbo power limits always become the limiting factor well before the current limits actually kick in.

Bob

@Dog Makes sense!

Dog

Although it's potentially possible for very short current spikes to go over even the short-period power limit (I don't actually know over what period it's measured, also, AFAIK it's estimated)

Bob

But, yea, TDP has always been a long-term average/cooling target.

SDP is just plain weird.

Rahul2001

Use a VPN to access GoDaddy guys... Domains are like 98% cheaper in India :/

Bob

4:18 PM

o.O

Dog

SDP can GDIAF

Bob

lol

@Dog I think you were the one who told me about all this last time :P

Dog

SDP? I don't think so, I don't know anything about SDP :-/

Dog

Also my safely remove hardware button has disappeared :-(

Bob

4:19 PM

@Dog No, the rest of the TDP, boost, etc., stuff

Dog

@Bob Ah that's possible. I do know about that stuff.

@Bob Not being an eegit is all I need to protect me in an online world

I have too many spare SSDs. #FirstWorldProblems

Bob

@Dog make a giant RAID0 array and benchmark it!

Dog

@Bob I don't have enough connectors

That's part of the problem

Bob

lol

Dog

Oooh wait I have my SATA secondary bay adapter back now

I think

So I can connect an additional 3 SSDs in total, but one has to be over USB 2.0

Or I could swap my 8TB external drive to USB 2.0 and connect two SSDs via a single USB 3.0 hub

Bob

4:29 PM

@Dog Have you ever tried transferring 8 TB over USB 2.0?

Dog

@Bob Have you ever tried NOT transferring 8TB?

My problem right now is I can't figure out which SSD my star trek online install is on

(Along with my steam apps folder)

Bob

lol

Dog

Urgh, this USB 3 hub with built in card reader doesn't have UHS support on the card reader

Bob

@Dog yea, that happens a lot

I think I have one here

Dog

@Bob Indeed.

Which is why I was surprised my laptop's internal card reader was actually connected via PCIe, since I've seen Skylake laptops with the card reader connected internally via USB 2.0

Turns out it was on my phone's MicroSD card -_-

Bob

4:37 PM

o.O

@Dog You mean STO?

Dog

@Bob Yeah

Bob

o.O

Dog

O.o

Probably just the most convenient thing I had lying around when I was packing/moving

Geez, taking 10 minutes to copy off even at 140MB/sec

Eh, I shouldn't be complaining. Even having a microSD card that does 140MB/sec is amazing

RichCopy

RichCopy is a discontinued file copy utility program developed by Ken Tamaru of Microsoft Corporation. It is multi-threaded, and may thus under some circumstances copy files faster than some other utilities available for the Windows operating system. Additionally, while having some similarities (like multithreaded copying) with the Microsoft utility, Robocopy, it provides a complete graphical user interface (GUI), whereas Robocopy is a command-line utility. == Features == Copies several files simultaneously ("multi-threaded"), which under certain network conditions, may reduce the time required...

Dog

Some poor african kids live in a place where their whole country's internet doesn't do 140MB/sec

@Dog True for most of India also...

Dog

Oh Intel just launched Kaby Lake

Well there's a surprise

Rahul2001

WHAT IS THIS?

Guess that means I'll be waiting for yet another generational update before buying a laptop/tablet then

And

wat

No releases of 15/28w quad-core or Iris Pro chips today tho

Also Android seriously needs a "Remember SIM PIN" function

Err lol. As if smartwatch battery life wasn't already bad enough, they chucked full Android and a 3G radio into one?

Guess we're heading back to the 90's, where talktime was measured in minutes rather than hours.

> Samsung begins production of the low-end Exynos 7570 SoC

The 7570 is the first Exynos processor to fully integrate a Cat.4 LTE 2CA modem and connectivity solutions, as well as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in one chip.

^^ @Bob

> Asus Transformer Mini and Transformer 3 Pro to launch in Japan and Europe

These convertibles will hit the two areas next month, and more details on pricing and availability should be unveiled at IFA.

So much for "Available to buy in the UK in August"

Now if only they updated it with Kaby Lake...

(Which would be easy to do, because it's a drop-in pin compatible replacement)

> in the multi-thread benchmark [..] the Core i7-7500U cannot maintain its maximum clock with a TDP limit of 15 Watts, but 3.3-3.2 GHz are still much higher than a comparable Skylake model, which would hit the 15-Watt limit at 2.8 GHz

Also @Bob ^^

Should give you an idea of how much power Kaby Lake requires at a given cock speed

@Ramhound GOOD LUCK

@Ramhound try unplugging them all

then plugging each of them in, marking the device they're attached to

lol that's not the problem, its just all tangled up back there :$

and I actually tried to keep it organized, but failed

By the way, on that theft question, as soon as that laptop turns on, his work VPN should activate

it's a startup process for most personal devices that are setup for remote connection to work

Bob

@Dog Unfortunately that only counts if the actual device supports CA, and it's bloody impossible to tell if that's the case without buying it. Sometimes even with the device in hand.

Maybe I should get a spectrum analyser.

@Dog Huh. That's more efficient than I expected. Not quite 3 GHz in 4.5 W efficient, but close.
