0. There is boot from USB capability in the BIOS. 1. I tinkered with separating the boot and root physical locations so they are in separate physical locations. 2. I used that to boot Debian 9 Linux that has support for M.2 drives, where Debian 8 does not. 3. As the previous poster said, Win7...

Yeah, I got that but my question was HOW to do that. I finally went back to install -> expert install in recovery mode, answered a bunch of useless questions (for recovery mode), chose a shell for the "/" partition. Then cd'ed into /etc/modprobe.d. Then created a file called, "blacklist.conf"...

How does one do this, please? My head is swimming in confusion trying to research this via google. Environment is Debian 9 "stretch." I need to turn off the buggy sp5100 module before the kernel tries to start it and I can't figure out how to do that. There are no grub config files (that I...

As I said, when you boot with Linux Debian 9, it is seen by the OS, it loads all the software, partitions are created and destroyed so when you bypass the BIOS, it DOES work. So I'm wondering if it's because Debian 9 is not ready for prime time or if it's some conflict with the pcie bus...

With this mobo, I'm having a great deal of trouble getting the m.2 to work. The m.2 is the ocz RD400 at 512Gb. Since the mobo can't boot from that m.2 drive, I'm using debian 9 (stretch) (or at least trying to) to be able to use it until the new x370 mobo gets here. The m.2 drive is in the...

This is a first for me. Corsair 600 PSU, Asus Turbo V EVO motherboard. Worked fine for several years. Tried to turn the system on one day and it acted like it was getting no power. 1. Tried different outlet. 2. Tried different power cable.. 3. Disconnected hard drives. 4. Finally removed...

Mea culpa. You guys are not going to believe this. I did the alternate tests with the OS's and discovered that Debian Jessie 8.4 with Cinnamon is the culprit! I ran a live version of Jessie 8.3 on the 9370 machine and get the expected results in the BOINC benchmarks, 3323/second using floats...

Wow. That spec is disheartening. But, like you, I haven't bought an Intel CPU since the mid 90's (for myself.)

Oh, I forgot. That 135F was with BOINC **and** some heavy duty graphics tests (Unigine demos.) Just BOINC by itself is usually 110F with an occasional peak at 125F.

Running all 8 processors under BOINC, it gets right to the max 135F. This liquid cooling is the bomb.

In this Phantek case, it will take some time as I have to partially disassemble it just to see the PSU. <sigh> At the same time, I'm also going to try another test with the 8350 computer, loading the Jessie 8.4 version onto a temp drive and see how it compares.
