In this one, we check out some of the new products announced at Computex 2021, like Adata s DDR5-12600 memory, ASRock s new motherboards, & Plotripper. Yes, really. Filip: There is actually a legitimate (actually measurable, even if not perceivable) benefit to having 2 high speed (8000Hz/125us) polling devices on different USB controllers. Plenty of discussion around this on mouse-related forums. 2 high-speed devices on the same controller means there are a higher number of dropped polls for one of them.

Hey Steve, I don't really know either what's up with the lighting gaming ports or whatever either, but it's a known issue that mouse polling rates can be inconsistent (e.g 1000hz but there isn't 1 new update every 1ms, instead you might have some delayed due to other traffic that was prioritized) causing jitter. Maybe those ports have dedicated controllers and lanes while the others operate more as a hub? This in an issue that doesn't exist with PS2 devices as the signals attached devices send are direct CPU interrupts as opposed to USB where it's a lot more dynamic and when the interrupt occurs isn't determined by the input device itself.

4:43 The USB controller is not something you just dump something on! It's not a big truck! It's a series of tubes!
For real though - it looks like they're putting some USB-A ports on the board that each have their own dedicated controllers, so traffic from one peripheral doesn't interrupt traffic from another being routed through the same controller? I assume it's marketing horseshit that makes no practical difference, but it might be interesting to do some latency testing in a video. Maybe it's actually worth something if you're moving data to/from an external drive while playing a game, or connecting to Wi-Fi with a USB adapter?

I CAN ONLY imagine Lightning gaming ports are either USB ports on their own controllers, or is like Anker/Aukey(?) Power IQ, where the combined ports are 3.2 but has a controller in it to intelligently detect 2.0, 3.0, 3.1/3.2 devices. MAYBE they're saying old usb clusters were dumb, and treated even 2.0 devices as 3.2 bandwidth wise and would throttle and limit functionality when you occupied all the USB ports on that controller not intelligently stepping down to whatever it needed to step down to like in the case of keyboards and mice 2.0.

11:43 G604 is the best mouse yet IMO. Replaced my G602. EVGA, please take note.
I did buy the Z20 Keyboard for 90 (TY EVGA!) with the linear switches after getting tired of replacing my Logitech G810 Orion's key caps every 9 months. The keys are WAY more stable than the Romer G's and feel/sound about the same IMO, close enough anyway.
They don't spill light like other RGB keyboards either, very much Romer-G like in that respect too, better even, way easier to clean.

I am patiently waiting for large PE cycle SSDs for cache drives on my file servers, I had been using Optane, but with 54PBW i might give up that low latency, high 4K IOPS of optane, because as far as i can tell, the PE cycles of optane, while high per cell, at scale is small because these drives are small meaning they see much more PE cycles because they cant spready that write out very far(110GB instead of 2TB)

2.5gbit NICs are so annoying. My internet is consumer 4gbit and there are 8gbit options now here too. So if I want to upload a video or etc and max linespeed tough luck. Have to get an ultra expensive board with 10gbit or throw in a PCIe NIC.
Surely they can throw in a 5gbit NIC ffs, a single USB 3.0 is 5gbit and that's been around for like a decade or so. Ffs!

It's interesting that Sabrent is making a longevity drive. I would love a longer lasting drive to come out of it since I've had a couple SSD's die from old age recently.
From recent experience, there are hosts with chia plotting software preinstalled on templates. I really can't fault any company too much for capitalizing on a fad like this.

The asrock usb ports say they use individual controllers on each lightning ports in the corner. That's probably all there is to it, not sure if that actually changes anything since keyboard and mouse are pretty much always usb2. 0 and the controllers are built for multiple usb3. 0 streams

On the x570, i would rather have, and in fact have, the fan for the chipset. You can control the fan instead of having it on the board hoping it never gets hot. Even if its proprietary, i don't care I have a fan where most other boards require some aftermarket wart to get a fan on the chipset.
