new year new AMD issue

Melvin117 — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 11:31:16 +0800

According to Hot Hardware, there have been some rumblings in recent months about USB connectivity problems with AMD Ryzen processors in combination with 500 series chipset-based motherboards.
To be more specific, the problem seems to stem from USB 2.0 ports that act erratically when PCIe 4.0 is enabled on the motherboard and a PCIe 4-enabled device is installed -- like a GPU, for example.
Given that many enthusiasts are rocking new GPUs like the Radeon RX 6800 or GeForce RTX 30 Series, which are PCIe 4.0-enabled, this can certainly be a problem.

Users are experiencing problems where low-speed devices like mice, keyboards, and headsets are dropping out periodically, without any rhyme or reason, when attached to a USB 2.0 port. The problem seems to manifest itself the most under high CPU loads. Switching the accessories from a USB 2.0 port to a free USB 3.0 port seems to alleviate the problem for many.

However, this is not a workable solution for some people, and they are fed up with the USB 2.0 dropouts.
There are a couple of reddit threads making the rounds now discussing the matter, with the most recent one garnering over 1,100 comments.

"My USB headset will crackle or just drop out, my mouse will stop responding for a bit, etc.," wrote Reonu_, who started the most recent reddit discussion thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/llkk5..._that_usb_just/
"Having a PCIe 4 GPU simply breaks USB and it happens on both Zen 2 and Zen 3. Yet it hasn't even been acknowledged by AMD."

"After installing my new graphic card 3090 I had loads of USB disconnects," added redditor gibbo77.
"I spent a lot of time trying to diagnose problem as I changed my power supply as well. A few days later I found a few posts saying that PCIe 4.0 was to blame, after changing to PCIe 3.0 I have not had any problems since."

The thread is an interesting read, with many users fighting back and forth over what the true solution is, and some chiming in that they aren't having any problems whatsoever with USB 2.0 disconnects on 500 Series motherboards. However, we reached out to AMD directly to see if they've been keeping track of the user complaints, and they provided the following response:

AMD is aware of reports that some users are experiencing intermittent USB connectivity issues reported on 500 Series chipsets.

Guess AMD laptops are stuck with pcie gen3

New laptop CPUs are exciting again!

Melvin117 — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 10:29:06 +0800

This year's CES is finally all new laptop stuff instead of the refresh of past year's refresh...

AMD's new 5000 series is definitely the hype since last year and damn they do deliver, a little bit short on multicore unfortunately due to thermal constraint
still so many cores in a laptop!

Intel's 10nm has finally arrived and while they only have 4c8t options, it's actually quite a sensible choice for laptop gaming with zen 3/ICL single core performance and reasonable thermal in laptops, be it slim ultrabooks or thicc bois

damn can't wait for those to come!

Repair Mining GPU How Much

Melvin117 — Sun, 05 Jan 2020 14:23:18 +0800

Bought the card last Jan for cheap, it already had artifacts issues when I ran it long enough so I tried to replace the thermal paste and thermal pads and poof, it kinda died

Now the card can boot up nicely and fans spin but after one or two minutes, it loses signal 😭

This one shop can fix or can DIY????
Shops normally charge how much, or should I just get another cheap mining GPU lmao

MSI Alpha 15: AMD CPU+GPU come to laptop again

Melvin117 — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 16:49:36 +0800

Disclaimer first: didn't get paid by MSI Malaysia(MSI sees this please send money or LUCKY merchs), is an AMD and MSI fanboi

So it's been a marvelous year for AMD, this year their CPUs get insanely powerful and actually manage to murder Intel 24/7 with the ryzen 3000 series.
Their GPUs ain't at the same level but at least make nvidia to reduce their prices(local distro not related haha) and release the super series to counter.
Now they are going to get everything to the laptop, can they actually achieve something?

TL;DR: as always, next year will be good for AMD on the laptop side
this model is good for people wanting to try something else rather than the normal Intel+Nvidia combo and of course, AyyMD fanboys
it will be a really exclusive and unique machine for years to come

Look and feel and build quality

MSI says it's brand new line and it indeed is...new with a green bird logo instead of the usual red dragon bangsawan logo
Otherwise it's their GP and GL styling minus the red accents
#TeamRED should have the red accents(logo hijau lmao what is wrong) IMO but the styling now is more discreet and less gamer-like, shouting type, which is quite nice

The build is really solid and I only realise it has a plastic body instead of metal after being told. No flex unlike their mother country's competitors' plastic machines
Good ol' MSI build quality, needa praise it every time, good quality is always worth the extra
THE HINGE FEELS SOLID TOO
Overall the machine isn't heavy at all, 2.3kg

Performance

This is the most discussed part of this AMD release and the GPU, RX5500M actually performs really well in the Macbook 16 inch when paired with an i9 according to reviews.
As with pairing with a Ryzen 7 processor...it's usable for CS:GO, LOL and other less-demanding games to push for the 100fps mark and the brilliant 144Hz display.
For 3a titles such as the latest red dead redemption 2 and star wars fallen jedi, it can do 60fps with medium-high settings and certainly beats the consoles counterparts

For everything else it's totally smooth, only one caveat: the AMD DRIVERS as usual, again.
Apparently if users sendiri syok-syok go to AMD website to update the GPU driver it will cause crashes cause the version comes with the laptop is actually higher than the one on the site

But AyyMD fans will know the secret: AMD FINEWINE
eventually the drivers will get good and long term it might be so much better, the AyyMD magic

Display
The 144Hz comes with freesync to reduce tearing and for ultra-smooth gameplay, and it's IPS not some garbage TN or VA junk
Colours are good and accurate(to my eyes), thin side bezels but not bottom bezels
The 144hz is an apparent gooding in CS:GO and other competitive games, but in normal usage it's kinda hard to feel it unless I A-B it besides a 60Hz display(lol just like headphones)
The high refresh rate is a good plus for sure, but one certainly needs to know what it can do and can't

Other good stuffs:
-keyboard got rgb and key travel is nice, and numpad is present too
-speakers are loud
-runs cool like an MSI machine
-lit-up usb ports!
-have tonnes of ports: type c, normal usb, ethernet, SD, hdmi, mini-DP, headphones jack!, mic-jack

nitpicks:
-still not a metal body
-red logo please
-trackpad is meh like others
-not using LUCKY as wallpaper
-NO CHEAP LOL
-big ass power brick, not running USB-PD charging

Conclusion: AMD didn't destroy Nvidia this time unfortunately and didn't even crush Intel, ayam is sad
however I have hope that it will get good with more driver updates, and man this being an all AyyMD laptop is totally nice
The MSI build and everything are really nice extras to make living with this laptops comfortable.
TBF treat this is as a collector item just like the certain laptop back then with a ryzen 7 1700 and rx480, and voila you and I get a unicorn among laptops

Public hospital hair and skin doctor

Melvin117 — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:29:35 +0800

Ayam went to do hair treatment then got told hair got demodex mites(hair worms)

Then my therapist offered me some expensive ass treatment package and even though later she has offered huge discount (50% after I rejected for three times) but that sounded too sketchy for me.

Thus, I rejected her and planned to seek treatment from another professional doctor instead if possible.

Anyone knows any government hospital has such services? For hair and skin?

p/s: those fancy hair treatment centres all act like scammers smh, even as an insurance agent myself I got slightly irritated and disgusted by their pushy sales method knn
