    Question Do USB-C controllers have a shorter path to the Graphics Card on newer systems?

    So I guess it doesn't matter assuming the other USB devices don't interfere with the data. Well maybe all the complaints have to do with something else. The cables seem to be very specific as far as which ones work and don't. All I know is that there are a ton, and I mean a ton of complaints...

    Question Do USB-C controllers have a shorter path to the Graphics Card on newer systems?

    Yes, it does.There are two hookup options for the Quests ver2 and 3. Direct link, which is via the USB-C option. and AirLink, which sends the video as Wifi packets. The location of the port is not the issue. It's the path distance and over-head to get post video from the display card to the...

    Question Do USB-C controllers have a shorter path to the Graphics Card on newer systems?

    Like the title. (this is a VR, Motherboard, and graphics card topic also) For some reason, on the Quest headsets, Meta choose to use USB-C for the data Graphics transfer as well as charging of their newest headset. The issue is, a lot of people built fast computers, but their systems are not...

    Question Ram my be vulnerable to high frequency row hammer bit flips

    I just moved the two new sticks, swapped them in the same two slots with each other, so far that error is gone, I'll update if anything changes. EDIT still got the error Just ran across this link which complicated things even more..lol...

    Question Ram my be vulnerable to high frequency row hammer bit flips

    I added two sticks of the identical spec for spec memory to my system, I've done two Memtest86 v10.6 Free version passes with 0 errors, but there's this message in the notes. Ram my be vulnerable to high frequency row hammer bit flips Not getting the error with the original two sticks...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    That was my PC screenshot. By the way, now that I'm looking at Resource Monitor in addition to Performance Mon, I think the reason why I'm not seeing activity on the page file in performance Mon, is for the same reasons someone above mentioned, the data in memory is being compressed internally...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    I only have one page file, but it's on another SSD drive. I was looking to see if there was a way to point the resource monitor to that file. So are you saying that the page file needs to be on the OS drive for monitor to see it? I did change it from static to managed. I would think the Resource...

    Question Does the version number matter when upgrading RAM?

    CPUID CPU-Z MSI is showing different MHZ speeds. It's jumps from 799.8 to 800, 1400 and sometime 1500 MHz while sitting idle at desktop with nothing running. Not sure what to make of this. I know about the voltae settings, I know it was something you had to do when over clocking. Hopefully the...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    So just for a test, this is a little off topic from my original post. I wanted to test the Performance monitor. I don't know if I'm doing this correct. The graph just shows nothing happening even though I added a page file usage counter. Obviously the system is not out of memory. But to test...

    Question Does the version number matter when upgrading RAM?

    Yes, I've been using Memtest86 for years. Great program Just curious. What would be a good "free to the point" program for getting some kind of score on my memory speed. I would like something simple to see what my memory runs at now and how fast it runs after I add the two other sticks. I know...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    @USAFRet When you say, "having the entire drive as a partition will only slow it down", its not the OS drive, it's it's own drive. But Colif pretty much answered my question when he said, "Hence the SSD's controller and the FTL have no concept of partitions, and therefore cannot restrict a...

    Question Does the version number matter when upgrading RAM?

    I bought 16 GBs more memory for this older system I have. The timings, speed, brand, and all the other numbers are identical to what was in the system. Except the version on my original sticks is 8.22. The memory I bought at eBay it is something like version 3.52. I wonder if version number has...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    @ berberos I don't think my question is being understood. In the event the system did need the use the page file, if the file was large , or the size of the entire SSD, then all the cells across the entire drive would be available for writes. Smaller designated page sizes constrains the system...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    Well I had a 6GB page file, I was getting freezes in ArmA 3, which is a memory hog, and maybe the application had a memory leak. So I increased the page file to 24GBs and the game stopped freezing. I always read that it's better if you can use a permanent page file rather then system managed...

    Question SSD Wear Leveling and Pagefile question - 1TB Pagefile ?

    I'm just curious about something, and I'm not getting clarity on my searches. Firstly, I had an extra 1TB SSD, so I moved my pagefile from C, to that drive. this question is about Wear Leveling I know there's all these rules with 1.5 size and other sizes depending on installed memory. But...
