    Goodbye

    Eban replied to Linux's topic in Off-Topic

    It is a pity I was thinking today at work how I used to love IRC chat and chat rooms, flame wars, 0day warez and just talking to other geeks about modding and overclocking, (this is 1995ish), around the world, dial up 28,8baud modem days..... I actually looked up the IRC status on my lunch break...googly says it IS still around...but of course no where near its heyday

    Lots of different sellers on Aliexpress....sorry I can't remember who I bought mine from...and I no longer have an ali account to check. Take another gamble though...I remember the 980 in my Ranger was FANTASTIC playing assassins creed black flag

    One day you’re king of the world, top of the food chain, right after dumping the customers who carried you from the ground up. Gamers were your bread and butter, and you dropped them like a hot potato for a shinier AI future. Turns out loyalty isn’t his thing anywhere, not with his customers, and not with his own wife. Karma, as we know it, is a bitch.

    He didn't made a new card, he basically just used a different memory configuration supported by the P5200 vbios (even though it's a 16GB SKU, it also other mem config). I don't recall from which gen the memory config is made by strap, at least on Turing you had to change the strap resistor to either use another dram manufacturer or another memory config (density, doubled IC etc). I'm certain both P4000 and P5200 vbios supports the same memory configuration. You can't mod a P4000 vbios to work with a P5200 cause it needs to be modded for the P5200 core (config, device id... who knows ?) and that modded part might trigger the falcon security controller if unpatched and result in a code 43. For the record this tool have been tried on desktop Pascal but it didn't worked, there must be something different on mobile vbios compared to desktop vbios... probably different vbios structure ? different falcon firmware ? it's hard to tell exactly.

    Cant believe everything on the old NBR. Gotta show and prove. Server chips dont overclock well because they werent designed for that. If they didnt post wat they did to get the results ..it didnt happen. If you cant do it wit Prema bios..cant be done...

    This all seems like such a downer... You do upgrade to an RTX A4000, but you don't get to experience the strength of it for long 'cause of all these shenanigans. What's the point of my upgrading then? Hahaha, kidding aside, I'm still keeping my hopes up and hoping that the charger I have is just some bootleg, even though it's recognised in the BIOS. Stupid? Maybe, but oh, well! I ordered another 240w charger and a new battery to boot, and I'm really hoping they're both genuine.

    Hey @Speakeasy, Thanks a lot for helping out. I will watch the two videos you have shared. I have told the AliExpress seller that I want to return the card. I've spent so much time on it trying to get it to work. It must be something with the card or my device, but more likely the card. I will try out the steps in the videos you shared. You never know, they might work.

    This way Nvidia gets to keep all the profit so it's fine, just ask Jensen's girlfriend 😄

    Help! Does anyone know the exact screw specifications and dimensions for the GPU section of the X170KMG heatsink? The seller forgot to include the screws in my order and hasn't responded yet. I urgently need to know the specifications so I can find replacements.

    Shout out again to Microcenter..... When I saw you picked up the 20th edition bundle I did giggle a bit and thought to myself, "My Day One source strikes again!" 🤣 Our local MC still has a single Asus 20th edition package in stock. I tried to talk a buddy into picking it up to upgrade his aging 2080ti + 5800X3D rig and his exact words were, "are you daft? YOU pick it up!" 🤣 Glad the replacement is a much better sample and in the end it looks slick AF. It is easily the best looking 5090 on the market IMHO.

    Hi,, I just found this much more thorough video on laptop video card upgrades explaining the process of modifying inf.files on your Alienware step by step. This video explains the process clearly for beginners, and works for all laptops and all compatible MXM GPU upgrades.

    The next big Windows update isn't Windows 12 Insiders claim Microsoft will skip Windows 12 in 2027, releasing a Windows 11 overhaul called 27H2 instead.

    Well this was wrong. I foolishly thought the riser card was needed to connect to the BTF port but completely not needed. 🤣 It's for using to connect to a BTF board. The BTF to 12v2x6 cable works flawlessly. Near perfect 12v under 800w load with great per pin distribution.

    I experienced similar behavior to all of this on the Precision 7770. I do believe it is related to CPU/GPU power contention and NVIDIA Dynamic Boost. I observed the behavior on both Windows and Linux (specifics were a bit different between the two). I never really figured it out, and it was part of what made me stop using that system as my personal "daily driver". And yeah, battery drain while gaming was also a thing that I observed when compute load on both the CPU and GPU was very high. I rarely game for more than like 90 minutes in one sitting so I never came close to actually draining the battery.

    Thanks @JadeRover for the response, thats what i suspected it presented both, I had initially scoured the "interweb" for 8770W cables, but discussed with GuitarG and found 8770W were wired different, which is a pain as if 90% of the wires are same and just a few are different it might have been viable "small" mod to make it work. 40Pin EDP seem available so the screen end is easier (relatively) I did catchup with DevilAngel on the 8770W post in the message, he used TaoBao to get someone to build a cable. I'm yet to work that site out with success. We seem to have alot of the pinout detail its just getting someone to make one.

    It's not a Xeon E5 2000. It's the unlocked ones, people from NBR overclocked them to 4.5GHz but didn't give any BIOS settings. Even with the 4960X I can't get it stable at 4100MHz. Extra turbo voltage doesn't seem to work
  28. Khenglish
    Also works on my 3080 Ti. This is 225W. Also tried 200W, which got me ~14850. For some reason the CPU starts throttling when the GPU can draw over 150W. The same thing happens if I shunt mod. At 150W GPU the CPU scores is 10800.
  29. DreDre2022
    As Mr Fox said those CPUs was locked down at that time. Those Server CPUs aint gonna let you overclock them but so much. When i had my P570wm running i had a 4960x running at 4.2 ghz all core with XTU. Eurocom had a unlocked Bios but didnt need to use it because if i tried to overclock above 4.2 wood crash. You may not be able to get dat chip running more than where you tested at....

    I’m doing great! I hope you and your family are all good as well! Im still out of work, sleeping until 11am some days and hustling junk cars, hard to believe it’s been about 6 months now. Life is good! I started playing with Mvolt+ tonight, although I already had it, I haven’t really dug in to it. I just got the new one though, amazing app. My 5090 Astral has a pretty low Xbar like 2,490Mhz, so I focused my tuning there to try and gain some performance. I kept the card all stock for now 600w pwr, 0% voltage slider, auto fans, default memory +0 and default core clocks +0. I started adding voltage to my Xbar and saw performance degradation and Xbar even went down even lower lol. So then I started taking away Xbar voltage, I reached -20mv and the score improved slowly in Steel Nomad DX12, then I began adding Xbar clock frequency and reached +164. So I settled on a 15,500 Steel Nomad score on my 5090 Astral which is amazing. All stock power limit of 100%, and 0% voltage slider, no memory or core overclocking, or undervolting at all. So just with Xbar clocks going up. Then I undervolted the card to 900mv, OCed the memory +3,000, and it hit its 16,001 and even idling at 10 watts on the desktop. Not even really pushing the card at all. Great daily setup for air card.

    Went into Microcenter to add the warranty. Brought the card with me and talked with the tech and manager about the artifacts. Had the video on my phone showing it happening on the desktop and in games. They said not normal and wanted to swap the card. They only had the demo unit they had on display behind glass left but offered that card. They took the card, put it into it's retail box and swapped the GPU and added the 2 year warranty. Just got the card in and it's significantly better and no artifacts yet. 57.6% ASIC, not a lottery winner but not a dud at all. My previous card would crash at 3300Mhz in GPUZ. This card does 3400Mhz and uses 1085Mv max. I'm just happy to have a card that isn't artifacting out of box. Got my adapter delivered and unfortunately, my Apex board blocks the cable. The heatsink gets in the way. Ugh. So now I'll have to use a small offset or go vertical or something. Not my favorite but it seems no choice.

    I have seen weird glitches like that with some of the 621.XX drivers and I have seen it when undervolting GPUs. I am assuming it is with the GPU running stock with no tweaks like undervolting or overclocking. If it is bone stock, have you tried an earlier driver branch, like 610.XX or 596.XX to see if the behavior is the same? If it is the same across several driver braches, test with a different monitor and different HDMI/DP cable. (I have an ASUS 4K 120 HZ IPS display that has all sorts of weird issues with various GPUs to the point that I only use it as an office TV now.) If it still persists after all of those things then something has to be wrong with the GPU.
