GIGABYTE has released UEFI BIOS updates for its motherboards based on Intel’s C246 and Z390 chipsets that enable support for 32 GB unbuffered memory modules from Samsung. This enables 128 GB of DDR4 on its higher-end mainstream desktop platforms. The compatibile UDIMMs are based on Samsung’s 16 Gb memory chips and are expected to be available in the market shortly.
To date, GIGABYTE has validated 32 GB DDR4-2667 CL19 UDIMMs only with its Intel C246 and Z390-powered platforms, which is logical as owners of such motherboards are more likely to need 128 GB of memory and buy the modules. It also remains to be seen when and if support for such modules will come to other platforms.
Intel recently updated its memory reference code (MRC) for the 9th Gen Core processors that enables the said CPUs to work with unbuffered memory modules that use 16 Gb memory chips. Previously, only Intel’s HEDT and workstation processors could work with 32 GB RDIMM modules based on 8 Gb DRAM devices, whereas support for 16 Gb chips is still limited to select platforms.
From now on, Intel C246 and Z390-based motherboards from GIGABYTE will work with UDIMMs featuring Samsung’s 16 Gb. Earlier, ASUS enabled its Z390-powered mainboards to work with the said modules. In the coming weeks other makers of motherboards will also update their UEFI BIOSes with new MRCs, so UDIMMs based on 16 Gb chips will be supported more widely.
Samsung started mass production of 16 Gb DDR4 memory chips last year initially targeting high-capacity RDIMMs for servers. These DRAMs eventually came down to consumer grade memory too, enabling for 32 GB UDIMMs to be added to Samsung's product family available primarily to OEMs. At present, such modules are still rare in retail, but over time they will be available more widely and enthusiasts who for whatever reasons need 128 GB of memory will be able to take advantage of them.

Maybe I’m sad today. Maybe there are eight different reasons I can be sad today. Maybe some of them are important and some of them aren’t. But I get to decide how important those reasons are—whether those reasons state something about my character or whether it’s just one of those sad days.https://www.laweekly.com/5-best-bad-credit-loans-g...

This is the skill that’s perilously missing today: the ability to de-couple meaning from feeling, to decide that just because you feel something, it doesn’t mean life is that something.https://www.laweekly.com/testogen-reviews/

Fuck your feelings. Sometimes, good things will make you feel bad. Sometimes, bad things will make you feel good. That doesn’t change the fact that they are good/bad. Sometimes, you will feel bad about feeling good about a bad thing and you will feel good about feeling bad about a good thi—you know what? Fuck it. Just fuck feelings.https://www.laweekly.com/best-keto-diet-pills-revi...

This doesn’t mean you should ignore your feelings. Feelings are important. But they’re important not for the reasons we think they are. We think they’re important because they say something about us, about the world, and about our relationship with it. But they say none of these things. There’s no meaning attached to feelings. Sometimes you hurt for a good reason. Sometimes for a bad reason. And sometimes no reason at all. The hurt itself is neutral. The reason is separate.https://www.laweekly.com/best-cbd-oil-near-me/

And more often than not, any answer except one will tear you apart inside. And that answer is: nothing.It only says that it contains 30 percent of your daily Vitamin A and 6 percent of your daily iron, which isn’t that high for a greens a powder. That would be more acceptable if it was just marketed as a probiotic supplement, except it also doesn’t say how many probiotics it has.
ive hundred years ago cartographers believed California was an island. Doctors believed that slicing your arm open and bleeding everywhere could cure disease. Scientists believed fire was made out of something called phlogiston. Women believed rubbing dog urine on their face had anti-aging benefits. And astronomers believed the sun revolved around the earth.

When I was a little boy, I used to think “mediocre” was a kind of vegetable and that I didn’t want to eat it. I thought my brother had found a secret passageway in my grandma’s house because he could get outside without having to leave the bathroom (spoiler alert: there was a window). I also thought that when my friend and his family visited “Washington BC” they had somehow traveled back in time to when the dinosaurs lived, because after all, “BC” was a long time ago.https://www.laweekly.com/best-male-enhancement-pil...

As a teenager, I used to try and not care about anything, when the truth was I actually cared way too much. I thought happiness was a destiny and not a choice. I thought love was something that just happened and not something that was worked for. I thought that being “cool” had to be practiced and learned from others rather than invented for oneself.https://www.laweekly.com/bathmate-hydro-pumps-revi...

When I was with my first girlfriend, I thought she would never leave me. And then when she left me, I thought I’d never feel the same way about a woman again. And then when I felt the same way about a woman again, I thought that love sometimes just wasn’t enough. And then I realized that you get to decide what is “enough,” and love can be whatever you let it be for you, if you so choose.https://www.laweekly.com/best-joint-health-supplem...

Every step of the way I was wrong. About everything. All throughout my life, I was flat-out wrong about myself, others, society, culture, the world, the universe, everything. And I hope that will continue to be the case for the rest of my life.https://www.laweekly.com/best-testosterone-booster...

Just as Present Mark can look back on Past Mark’s every flaw and mistake, one day Future Mark will look back on Present Mark’s assumptions and notice similar flaws. And that will be a good thing. Because that will mean I have grown.https://www.laweekly.com/prime-male-reviews
