I tried enabling DOCP on my motherboard and I run into the same issue where it just won't POST. It ends up going to POST safe mode.
I looked at the memory support pdf found at [url]http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/PRIME_B350-PLUS/PRIME_B350-PLUS_Memory_QVL_20170704.pdf[/url] and it looks like the RAM is listed, but only the 2x 4GB kit, not the 2x 16GB kit that I have (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)

I use DOCP but then downclocked to 2666 for now. I need to update my BIOS for the newest AEGES, to get stock 3000. But I want to also loosen my timings to hit 3200 or 3400. Which should make a difference for me.
I have trouble getting my memory to run at the 3000mhz it's rated for. If I set it to 2999 whatever it will just post at 2133 but I can creep it up to 2600 or 2800

What I didn't try yet was use a lower ram frequency, so I started from 2133 and worked my way up. It worked at 2800 and now my desktop won't even post or go into safe mode post at 2933. Whoops. I looked in the motherboard documentation on how to go into safe mode post but there isn't any way until it automagically does it for you. Gee thanks.
I also updated the bios earlier.
It eventually booted into uefi so I changed the ram to 2800 and so far, so good.

If it won't POST in the future whip out a screwdriver and short the CLR_CMOS pins. Or push the button if it has one.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;52563101]so i used to have firstname.gg as a domain, but i let it expire. it cost me 70 dollars for a year.
i went to go see how much it was to renew, apparently someone wised up and parked it. the buy it now price is 25,000 USD.
no thanks[/QUOTE]

While searching stuff up for my motherboard, I decided to read some more reviews on it and found this.
[QUOTE]Be warned that the manual/specs for this motherboard are confusing, if not outright deceptive! On page vii, the manual explicitly states that "when a SATA/PCIe mode M.2 device is installed, the M.2 socket shares bandwidth with the SATA6G_5/6 ports". One would reasonably take that to mean that you could have both installed, and that each would sacrifice a bit of performance/bandwidth for the sake of the other. In fact, they are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. They cannot "share" at all, in any conventional meaning of the word. If you install an M.2 drive, SATA ports 5/6 will be completely disabled. Gigabyte is entirely upfront and honest about this limitation, whereas Asus baited me into purchasing their board instead with this incredibly misleading language in the manual. It then took me about six go-rounds with their technical support to get them to admit/confirm this limitation. I've had good experiences with Asus in the past, but this has been frustrating and disappointing. Shame on Asus for their dishonest documentation![/QUOTE]
Gee thanks Asus.
I think I should have bought a higher end motherboard and not run into annoyances like this, or does it actually apply to every other motherboard?
I kinda think I bought a meh motherboard without researching enough. A slight oversight was the motherboard only has 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (despite it looking like it had 2) however I only plan on using 1 GPU anyways for now. I don't have the need for 2.
Tried a rift today, way better than daydream due to having more than a single shit remote. Couldn't see shit though because instead of just being uncomfortable as fuck my glasses flat out don't fit in the headset at all.
VR glasses are reasonably expensive (add 20 euro for how fucking strong this prescription is) but I don't really want to buy a different set for each type since I'll be swapping between daydream / rift depending on location and I'd rather a vive over rift tbh.
The best thing about my VFX1 is that there is individual dioptric adjustments for each eye.
So for whatever reason, one of the hard drives I formatted is using ReFS (I probably forgot to select NTFS), which is some new NTFS replacement file system. What's annoying is that there's no recycling bin for it.

It's intended for server usage if I remember correctly.
And wasn't ReFS announced 10 years ago?

It's a new CoW windows filesystem. Not a "new" NTFS
I'll assume that the consensus is that I should copy the data off the hard drive and just reformat it to NTFS
Depends what you want to use it for. ReFS can do checksums for metadata and optionally file data so the data being read is always verified to be good. It's also CoW so power loss doesn't cause corruption, it copies to new area before changing the pointers.
But if you want to use it for a general purpose drive for work, NTFS would be the way to go.
I use ReFS for my server since it's designed to just store data, and for my external portable drives and back up disks.

Haven't used a recycling bin for like 4 years now, ever since somebody told me that I can shift-delete for permadeleting things.
At first I may have deleted some important things I might have wanted later, but now I either permadelete or when I realize I might still need it, I can download it again.
[QUOTE=Medevila;52563848]Amazon ending their "unlimited" storage tier, figures.. 1 TB now 59.99.. fuck that, though I wasn't really using my free trial anyway
probably will be my last year doing Prime as well if I can't convince them to give me the prorated student subscription... they slash all the Prime benefits and offer extra services that cost additional dough (see: Amazon Fresh @ 15/mo)
why pay an exorbitant subscription fee if they aren't going to bundle anything anymore? Amazon Instant Video has okay selection but when even Walmart is offering free 2-day shipping now without a membership, it's hard to justify[/QUOTE]
Prime now alone makes it worth it for me
What is with older (30+~) japanese men that makes them somehow manage to revert every single windows installation they touch into something that looks - and works - like Windows 95
I swear to fucking christ every computer that comes in with a black background, the windows classic theme, a jumbled up collection of frequently used 30-year old software written in visual basic 3, with 20 years of work stored on the desktop with no backups has been handed to me by overly polite japanese men

You can just disable the recycle bin to begin with.

I used to just do that up until I ran into a weird quirk in Windows 7 that resulted in me deleting the folder I was browsing from within said folder. There's always like a pixel of space between items in detail view and when I went to delete a subfolder I managed to click between two of them and didn't notice until I clicked "yes" when it asked if I wanted to delete it. Accidentally permanently deleted like 120gb of crap that I needed to redownload. Luckily this quirk doesn't seem to happen in Windows 10 but I still stopped using that option just to be on the safe side.

Yes, actually. I've been annoyed as fuck on how Microsoft fucked with the control panel since Vista.
