Honestly I don't concern myself with SPECTRE too much. If I could disable all checks/precautions/fixes for it and gain back the original speed I would but alas we can't do that. So if it isn't going...

Does this give you any measurable increase in M.2 / SSD speed?

Hey @justintyme clear your inbox. :)

Microsoft released 1809 a little while ago and has decided to allow access to their new way to combat SPECTRE using Retpoline. Long story short, we all know that the SPECTRE microcode killed a lot...

So I went back and turned off the Retpoline and took some reading and then turned it back on and tried again.
I'm definitely seeing some improvement, which is nice. When Spectre first came out I...

The reg add didn't work but I manually added the two registry entries and added the values manually. I got notification that the retpoline is active. It does give me back some speed, maybe 5-10% of...

Is 1704 that much better than 1603? I think you gave us 1503 and 1603 with the 49H microcode to help keep the temps down. I don't care too much about TJ max cause I'm not pushing my machine to...

So if i get this right. If you want TJ max of 110 you can use the 1703 BIOS and the 4D microcode but it is much hotter than the 49 microcode which has a TJ max of 105.

I'm not sure if it is worth...

They will work as individual drives or even in RAID 0,1,5,10 so long as it isn't a boot drive and you aren't trying to use VROC. I have two installed in a x8 slot and they work fine as non-boot...

For use of VROC? Intel new ones that are like 300GB, m.2 form factor (not sure of model number) will work but I'm not sure if they will work on the DIMM.2 for VROC. They didn't with the Rampage 6...

Not as a boot drive, no. You can only make a boot drive using VROC.
You can only use VROC using specific INTEL drives. Samsung won't be recognized by the hardware/software properly to create a boot...

It is a shame you are all having so much trouble with the Omega board. In the past the refresh has been the better board, like the R5E10 was much superior than the R5E. In this case the R6E seems...

That is fair enough. Many blocks are already copper to begin with an are only nickle plated at the end.

Or maybe Ek will do it! :) Someone should :) It really is a 'must need' for anyone delidding and wanting it cooled with any type of monoblock or regular block that has to deal with the space lost in...

I can't imagine why the makers of that copper IHS couldn't/wouldn't make a nickle one. Shouldn't be that hard to mill using the same mold.

I asked Silicone lottery about the copper IHS and they said that they can't support them. The reason they say is that they use Liquid metal and the Gallium in the liquid metal will diffuse must...

Too bad there can't be a small 1/16th inch insert you could put between the monoblock and the IHS that would work effectively. It would solve many problems. :)

So just to put all this in a simple query:

Does EK have a full IHS made of copper/nickel that does over the whole CPU to replace the current Intel IHS that is higher to make up for the height...

You can disable it via services but I believe if you disable it, you lose the ability to use adaptive voltage.

This is really good news. I'm glad that there is an inexpensive solution that would help keep the monoblock cool better.

So I tried a couple things, disabling it but not uninstalling it and temps were actually about 5 degrees higher even though adaptive voltage was working and I was down to 1200Mhz when idle. ...

At the very least you should be able to still use the board by switching to the other BIOS in the meant time while you figure out the current BIOS issue.

That doesn't make a tonne of sense because, 1. Don't you need the Intel Management Engine and 2. Turbo Boost installed itself after 5 reboots without me installing anything. At the same time after...

Greetings.

I have been all over the internet and seen various ways to disable this program. I know I can do it from BIOS and upon a clean install, it will never pop up or start up in windows, but...
