Some AMD processors may freeze after 1044 days of continuous operation

AMD Epyc processors of the Rome generation (the second generation of Epyc) revealed one curious feature. It lies in the fact that such a CPU can freeze after 1044 days of continuous operation.

This feature means that owners of servers based on such CPUs may need to reboot the server before the specified time in order to avoid system freezes.

The problem is related to the fact that the CPU core cannot wake up from the CC6 sleep state. That being said, AMD states that the crash time may vary depending on the spread spectrum and REFCLK frequency. The nature of the problem is of a hardware nature, so, unfortunately, it will not be possible to fix it.

In addition to rebooting, there is a second method to avoid freezing: disable CC6 sleep mode.

In general, in most cases, this problem will not affect server owners, since maintenance and installation of security updates usually occur much more often, including requiring a reboot. However, in case someone uses the Linux hot fix feature to upgrade without rebooting, they may encounter the above problem.

Unlocking your video card, almost like the good old days. Brazilian craftsmen turned the Radeon RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700 with 16 GB of memory

Unlocking your video card almost like the good old days

Modern processors and video cards can very rarely be significantly changed in any way. It turns out there is an exception. Enthusiasts from Brazil were able to add memory to the Radeon RX 5600 XT video card and even expand the bus.

Unlocking your video card, almost like the good old days.  Brazilian craftsmen turned the Radeon RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700 with 16 GB of memory

The Radeon RX 5600 XT comes standard with a Navi 10 GPU with 2,304 stream processors and 6GB of memory with a 192-bit bus. At the same time, the RX 5700 relies on the same GPU with the same number of active units, but is already equipped with 8 GB of memory and a 256-bit bus. That is, the graphics processor itself has a 256-bit bus. And they managed to unblock it.

The modders from the Paulo Gomes team did a very difficult job, but they actually turned the RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700, and even better. In the process, they added another 10 GB of memory to the card, that is, the total volume was 16 GB. True, the resulting performance increase is due precisely to the wider bus, and not to the amount of memory.

As a result, after all the modifications and additional overclocking, it was possible to increase performance by 29%, which is unattainable using conventional methods on any other modern video card.

However, 29% is not so much, given the complexity of the process, so such an unlocking will not become widespread.
