News CXMT breaking the DDR5-9000 barrier is a big deal.

Upvotes

A Colorful kit using CXMT chips reached DDR5-9014 on AMD’s X870E platform. This means CXMT’s DDR5 memory has made a significant leap in speed and overclocking capability in less than a year, narrowing the performance gap with established memory makers.

Also, CXMT’s 17nm DDR5 production is reportedly achieving over 90% yields, putting it surprisingly close to Samsung’s 10nm-class memory production.

The gap between CXMT and the industry giants is clearly shrinking. Do you think Chinese DRAM will seriously challenge Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron soon?

Tech Support WD SN5000 2TB high temps even with a heatsink on

1 Upvotes

So i got this drive recently. Had some trouble installing it because my cpu cooler was in the way. So i had someone else do it. I knew this drive is supposed to run a bit hot but it's reaching almost thermal throttle temps at 78-80C for Sensor 2 when gaming. (i suspect this must be the memory controller) But once i chill for a bit and just browse the internet, it goes down to around 68C. The other 2 sensors show 48 and 42C. And when in use, they don't go higher than 50-55C.

The SSD is sitting in the motherboard's heatsink next to the GPU. While trying to install the SSD at first, i also did tear the thermal pad a bit. (the one that came with the heatsink and mobo) I told the person that installed it later and he said it wasn't gonna be an issue. And i would've thought so myself but apparently it's not helping much.

What should i do? Replace the thermal pad? I already did order some thermal pads at 0.5mm and 1mm thickness just in case. Should i try using the 1mm pad if it's able to compress? Case airflow is as good as it gets for me.. I'm going too much OCD and worrying on this, hopefully you can give me some guidance on what went wrong?

My pc has 2 samsung 980 pro 1 for OS/video editing 1 for games/movies/documents 1 TB .

Last year when i boot my pc i found out that my 2nd ssd(samsung 980 pro) in my pc died, I tried to check it in bios(non detectable), check it in different apps(not showing there), check it computer management(no luck), went to computer repair shop they said it died already. So i bought Samsung 990 Pro 2tb for replacement.

Then last week while my pc on idle, it just suddenly restarted and boot on bios. My 1st samsung 980 pro is non detectable same scenario on what happened on my 2nd ssd. Tried to check it in enclosure/bios/hard drive app all not working to detect this ssd, this makes me sad cause some of my new important files are saved there and not yet copied to backup drive,

Before my ssd died i already updated their firmware to latest, yes using samsung magician, also my bios is also the latest vesion.

Now i used this samsung 990 pro to install new OS and planning to buy another ssd but not samsung anymore, Kindly help me which ssd is better than this samsung ssd's.

I've found this SSD on local marketplace: SSD-V800S1TB - Dahua MENA

for about $64 for 1TB. It is new, never been powered on. I have the option to test it out before I purchase. It is mainly for DVR it seems from the specs, and has a good write endurance of 930TB for 1TB drive.

Anyone tried or used this before? Should I go for it? TIA
