It is my understanding that my 3970X should have four NUMA nodes. I have used Task Manager (open TM, Select performance tab-CPU-Right click and hover on 'change graph to'-NUMA nodes option is greyed out). Used coreinfo (Sysinternals) - shows 'No NUMA nodes.' Changed NUMA Nodes in BIOS from Auto to four and two. Saw no difference in results. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and enjoy, John.

EDIT: Further research indicates that my processor defaults to UMA (Uniform Memory Access) not NUMA. I have not been able to determine how to enable NUMA mode. To enable in my 1950X requires setting Memory Interleaving to Channel. I did this on my older system and am now running in NUMA mode. Both of my tests above work. My 3970X BIOS has only Memory Interleaving On/Off. I did not try Off.

Anyone with a clue how to Enable NUMA Mode in the 3970X, please share it.

Looks like I have figured it out, but it is not pretty. I used Ryzen Master to enter Game mode. This enables NUMA Mode but disables 16 cores. Took a while to get booted after backing out. I am curious now if I can enable NUMA mode and keep all the cores running. Enjoy, John.

OK, I think this is the bottom line:

Logical Processor to Socket Map:
****************************************************************  Socket 0

Logical Processor to NUMA Node Map:
********--------------------------------------------------------  NUMA Node 0
--------********------------------------------------------------  NUMA Node 1
----------------********----------------------------------------  NUMA Node 2
------------------------********--------------------------------  NUMA Node 3
--------------------------------********------------------------  NUMA Node 4
----------------------------------------********----------------  NUMA Node 5
------------------------------------------------********--------  NUMA Node 6
--------------------------------------------------------********  NUMA Node 7
Calculating Cross-NUMA Node Access Cost...
                                          
Approximate Cross-NUMA Node Access Cost (relative to fastest):
     00  01  02  03  04  05  06  07

01: 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.5 1.6

06: 1.2 1.3 1.0 1.1 1.1 1.1 1.6 1.4
07: 1.3 1.3 1.0 1.1 1.1 1.1 1.6 1.4

I Enabled an ACPI option. I will post a screenshot if anyone is interested. I will also do some performance testing.
Looks like I have eight NUMA nodes. Enjoy, John.

Why would you do this? 3970x and 3960x were designed as one node. There's no point or reason to split it into more NUMA nodes. A single node is the whole point of the redesigned IF connection. It's only until you get to the 3990 that windows sees two nodes and that is more to do with windoze limitation of 64 threads per core than NUMA. Regardless the I/O die is connected to all four memory channels, no need to split that up.

I have an h470 hd3 that I recently installed and I'm trying to update my bios from the f2 version. I'm only concerned as to which version to update to. I see that the latest bios update for this model has a warning that confuses me about whether its right.

Hello, is my GPU ok (RTX 3090 Gaming OC) as I know older revisions had stability issues and bad pins connecting to PSU, but my GPU has SN starts with 2106 so it's manufactured in 6 week of 2021 year, as I heard latest revisions from this year should be ok? *

Essentially a new build:
MB: Gigabyte Aorus Ultra
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X
RAM: 4x8=32GB
Two 1Tb M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0

Plan was to configure the two SSDs, in RAID 1, as the new “C” drive.
Was able to get into BIOS on first few attempts but the Gigabyte manua
