Installed the WV2Pro while testing on the Ultra for setup, taking the Corsair SFX SL1000 for a real run and some basic looking around. SFX 1000w has held up nicely.... Testing with the MSI Yellow tip of death adapter during Steel Nomad runs before I get around to the big transplant. Still collecting some Ultra WoW data for my archives. Verdict with MSI's yellow tipped 4 headed octopus? Not doing backflips.... Saw pin 2 dip as low as 6.8 and Pin 6 as high as 9.4... Interesting coil whine test. Connected directly to the Corsair SFX SL1000 and the Vanguard was definitely noisier than in my main case (inversely, the 9070xt is quieter in my main rig case with the P2 than with the Corsair), but when I hooked up the WV2Pro, that extra coil whine went away. That bodes very well.

The MSI Yellow tip keep up the race. 9 out of 10 is the cute adapter from MSI. And how many MSI graphics cards suffer from bad soldering of the tiny trash?

He said it has better resistance and slightly better performance but mine had very bad heatpipes, they were in a rough shape. I found locally an i7 4900MQ I'll get that (100Mhz slower than the 4910MQ)

MX-4 is really bad at direct-die i noticed(used too all the time before i got the MX-7), works better on CPUs with heatspreader, MX-7 is a whole new lvl, was really suprised by it. n i really dont get it, why 3x 6mm heatpipes instead of 2x flattened 8mm, thermal conductivity is the same possible slightly better with the 2x8mm bcs of bigger contact area on the base plate.

atm i have the 7820HQ, but when i able to run the P5200 finally in my M6800 i will do bi upgrade to the XEON + RTX 3080(maybe 4090, we will see what im willing to spend on it 😄 ) n atm i found a kingston 2933 2x8 kit, when working will take a 2x16 kit, n even seen gskill has a 2800 n a 3000 kit, maybe worth da try too... n when upgrading to RTX will take a 4k display, bcs otherwise the CPU would be a massive bottleneck n at 4k not really matters the CPU only has 3.9GHz

Thanks for posting an update. Good information.

Thanks! I was looking at the verified ones and they were all DELL. How do you look at unverified vBIOSes?

There is this other temperature in my HWINFO named "Hot Spot", I wanted to know if that one is the temperature of the hottest chip of my GTX980M right? Either RAM, VRAM or VRM right? If so, I guess I put the thermal pads correctly because my Hot Spot has good temps? Thx

Finally got around to the ole switcheroo for some FO76 and WoW testing.... Welp, my 265k adventures have come to an end for potential on my main rig methinks. 9800X3D is just too beastly in Fallout 76 9070xt is just too weak on top of that but that was to be expected against a card that costs 3-6x more and is really a 5070ti/5080 contender depending on games played. Good news is for WoW at 4k? 265k tuned is a legit contender. It also was holding its own in Hogwarts too. For raids, I found it had almost that same smoothness and control of the lows like the SP109 14900KS in the wife's system. If all I played was WoW, I'd recommend a nice, tuned, cheap 265k on the cheapest board you could find. Problem of course is securing 8000+ DDR5 in the current market. Unfortunately I play equal parts Fallout76 and WoW both at 4k these days as my two main games and have for the last 3+ years and the X3D just massacres All of Intel's offerings in that game as it always has since I started testing with the 7800X3D several years ago vs the 12900k, 13900KS and eventually the 14900KS. I did manage to eeek out a little bit more performance on the Strix and 8600 tuned vs 8000 tuned with the better 265k being able to tune up quite nicely but it still couldn't hang but that's about right considering it couldn't hang even with the 14900k still churning along at 59/45/50 atm. Red Devil 9070xt was clocking over 3300 at stock in Fallout76. Much better than my Gigabyte 9070xt in the wife's system. 265k vs 9800X3D with MSI Vanguard 5090: 9070xt vs 5090 on 9800X3D: 9070xt vs 5090 on 265k: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up next is a break down and cleaning of my main rig and install the MSI AI1600T PSU along with the WV2Pro and DDR5 cooling mod. I plan on holding onto my Vengeance 9200 sticks in anticipation for Nova.....

@Will Hello, I've been following your 7720 adventure and I think I will soon start mine, upgrading to a 7920HQ motherboard. Do you have the turbo bins overclock number for the xeon CPU you have ? It can be found here in throttlestop -> FIVR windows I would like to know what the value is for your xeon CPU. I know for a fact that the 7920HQ allows up to +6 turbo bins meaning max 1 core speed of 4.1Ghz -> 4.7Ghz possible. This is quite rare, usually i7s have +4 bins, and for XEONS cpus data is basically unavailable. Thanks ! have a good one

Do you thing it will work to use 3200Mhz ram (I have a few kits) and then via the programs linked here : create an XMP profile for 2933Mhz and possibly 3200mz ? Since the chips on the 3200mhz jedec stick will support up to 3200mhz ? I already used these programs to OC some DDR3L, there are options for DDR4 too. We just need to hope that the 7720 allows writing to ram spd

VGA Bios Collection: Nvidia Quadro FX3800m 1024 MB | TechPowerUp did some quick search and got FX3800M one for you

PEG RTX 4080, 150W, Arctic MX-4 The heatsink performance: 83C max, throttles at second 25th out of 60 seconds. The main problem comes from the badly curved heatpipes, mostly the third heatpipe which probably cuts 50% of its performance easily. It's like a loss of 15-20W easily. Memory temps: 80C max Hotspot temps: 100C max No thermal throttles in heaven benchmark 4.0, lower FPS than the Clevo P570WM3 due to the CPU I guess, I use an i7 4700MQ and not the best i7 4940MX. No thermal throttles in userbenchmark GPU suite benchmarks, very good score. I think having better heatpipes without any big tends + PTM7950 could maybe handle 150W

I thought he was trying to get a quick buck from me... I hope it has express shipping:)

look, so no scam n 100% service, custom stuff sometimes not fit 100% like original parts, but most of those lil custom factories always try to fix it 🙂

Yeah and I give up, I always get scammed man, CPU not work, heatsink doesn't fit with palmrest. The heatpipes look in bad shape EDIT: SELLER WILL GIVE ME A FREE NEW HEATPIPE V2!!!! But I need to wait like 3 weeks ... Yes, he said FREE

im tempted to order the heatsink n put the fat heatpipes from the original heatsink on it... 🤪 edit, do u wrote cicichen bcs of the issues? i think he may will solve it

Yeah and I give up, I always get scammed man, CPU does not work. The heatsink doesn't fit with palmrest but it works. The heatpipes look in bad shape, is that a beta version?? EDIT: SELLER WILL GIVE ME A FREE NEW HEATPIPE V2!!!! But I need to wait like 3 weeks ...

ahh think i got it, so the lower heatpipe doin pressure to the soundboard n bcs of that it doesnt fit?

The fins + heatpipe are like OEM, 1.8cm height, no problem on that. But it's strange??? The heatpipes curves are made by hand and not machine... 70€ gone for nothing

did u measured old n new heatsink? where is the prob, at the radiator/fins or the cooler plate itself to high? im machinist n most things easy doable for me when its made from metal 😄

The only way the palmrest can close it by removing the top left PCB for the sound system... . I even removed one metallic piece that was on its way but that didn't fix the issue. I even removed the 3mm thick thermal pad that was on the mobo

You need a hardware calibration tool like Datacolor SpyderX or something else. I had the 4k display with 98% Adobe RGB and calibrate it with that tool. Wide uncalibrated garmut displays makes absolutly no sense.
