nope; this was another motivator for trying a new install. plain old partitioning this time.
which means I have an appropriately-sized swap partition now, but hibernation doesn't seem to be working anyway. has troubles resuming. it either reboots itself after resuming, or resumes to an empty desktop and just sits there.
I had it back with F26, but at some point during this upgrade it got cleared out. I haven't gone back to re-apply it yet, but I don't see why there would be any problems.
I have noticed, however, that my system is running quite a bit hotter since I upgraded to the latest bios. it idles in the low 50's now, and that's with the case fans turned on (previously, I was only running the cpu and exhaust fans).
of course, I don't know what any of these numbers actually mean.
no, as in, - hibernate - unplug - watch Star Trek - plug in - turn on
it comes back but not well. everything is still there, but then it either goes to the lock screen (with no sign-in) and just sits there, or blacks out and reboots.
As you've probably seen/read, I'm using the stock heatsink right now, because my hyper 212 turned out to be just slightly too tall atop the AM4 socket. I'm now considering what I might (eventually) get to replace it. Right now the Cryorig H7 is at the top of the list, but I'm looking for other options too.
Soliciting suggestions!
requirements:
155mm or less from bottom of block to top of tallest component (this includes mounted fan position).
Very large cooling volume. I want very chilly; also I like massive-looking finstacks.
AM4-ready is a big plus; but (of course) adapter kits are ok.
arctic freezer 33 is probably your best option. Be Quiet! Pure Rock Slim will also work. Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH should also fit, but is imo overkill, and more expensive (and weighs 1kg).
good options, especially the scythe. and I found the arctic xtreme r.2, which looks like an excellent choice — except for the gaudy side/top panels. anyone have one? know if they're easily removable?
Going by this review, this one isn't particularly good, though. http://tech-reviews.co.uk/reviews/arctic-cooling-freezer-xtreme-rev-2/6/ (it's compared with a mugen 3 generations older than the one I linked, which saw a big performance improvement itself going from the 3 to the 4, and an incremental one from 4->5).
I've been seeing this from time to time, on boot. I have to power cycle to continue. In all cases, this only happens when power has been off for a few hours or more, and power cycling always results in a successful boot. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks to the amazing backplate, was able to neatly tie down the power cables.
Only downside of this GPU is that the backplate and cooler almost completely cover the PCIe slot latch, so removing the card is very difficult. I have to push the latch down with a spludger, and it’s tense because it’s right above the nvme drive. Don’t slip!
Installation, with full-disk encryption, worked first time. Sleep and Hibernation work flawlessly! Still installing stuff, but it’s looking pretty damn good so far.
