    Question Likely cause of short-circuit in Asrock B550M Steel Legend?

    Uhhh dude that is wrong. This issue is electrical restarts. Fan arrangement (of which there aren't even any demonstrated issues) has nothing to do with a system restarting out of the blue under 0 load. Please put it back to Motherboards..

    Question Likely cause of short-circuit in Asrock B550M Steel Legend?

    :E is a toothy grin heh. 14, so: - 3 in the roof mounts - 1 exhaust closest to CPU, 2 intake although they are very weak, likely not contributing much; - 3 in the floor mounts, intake; mostly blowing against the GPU though the 3rd one probably gets some air up into the case; - 3 mounted on the...

    Question Likely cause of short-circuit in Asrock B550M Steel Legend?

    If I do nothing except web browsing, I don't get any problems. If I open Da Vinci Resolve, and start doing things that use the GPU, it's much more likely to balk. So; - fried SSD - GPU-load-induced resets (this could also be Memory I guess) - USB touching rear connectors causing reset My...

    Question Likely cause of short-circuit in Asrock B550M Steel Legend?

    [Moderator edit: moving post to Cases. 14 fans and potential airflow issues.] I have had my B550M Stl.Lgd for about 24 months and it has constantly been plagued by random reboots. Mostly it is just flat-out system reset with no warning or blue screen or anything. The past few weeks it had...

    Question Connecting USB 3.0 hard drives to Thunderbolt ?

    Wrong. Many many external SSDs reach 1GB/s or 10gbps. I have one myself, as well as a Gen2x2 one that runs at 1800MB/s (Gen2x2, 20gbps) attached to my WIndows machine but only 950MB/s (10gbps) when attached to my MBP. Most USB3 ports these days are 10gpbs. Whether A or C. Gen2x2 is barely used...

    Question Connecting USB 3.0 hard drives to Thunderbolt ?

    You are mixing up the decimals. 10gbps USB3 is 1GB/s and PLENTY of SSDs hit this mark. Gen2x2 (20gbps) is a special case that is rare-to-non-existant and requires specific support on both devices. A standard SATA SSD runs about 5Gbps or 500MB/s, the speed of the USB3.1 interface. THe 7000MB/s...

    Question NVME + Enclosure - not seeing expected speeds (Teamgroup MP34 4TB and Orico 20Gbps USB C to M.2. NVME

    USB 3.2 spec is only 10gpbs. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 is the only one that gets you up to the 20gpbs. But OSX doesn't support that, so you get 3.2 Gen 2 vanilla, i.e. 10Gbps. Thunderbolt 3 is only specced for 16Gbps over the PCIe bus while the rest is reserved for video (though some articles I read...
