OK. Enough of the silly gamerboy normie crap. Back to speed trumps everything.

Why is the dynamic power limit so low? With that amount of power it will not even best a lunar lake at 40w with much more cores. Is it one fan only? Even then I think you could increase it by 50%. I think it's only needed to set overclocking lock to no then afterwards it's unlocked in throttlestop. With two fans could outright double PL1.

ha not with me they didnt! upgraded all the way from a 6700K to a 9900K in my Clevo machine 😄 suckaZ! and big thx to bro @Prema for that one 😛

As noted elsewhere, I have been impressed by the overall performance and power efficiency of my Arrow Lake gram 14 and was therefore disappointed by the 17" version of what should be the same hardware couldn't match the performance while making more fan noise. The gram 14T's power limits for the normal fan setting are shown below. These aren't changed when using the battery.

If you keep the GPU for a few years it will be worth doing. When you to move to a newer platform the GPU will be ready for it.

Dropping tRFC to 388 shaved a ns off of memory latency, but otherwise unremarkable by other measurements. There is very little difference between 6400 1:1 and 8000/8200 2:1 on Ryzen due to architectural limitations. Adding 3D cache makes it even less relevant. Y-cruncher is around ~1.0 second slower at 6400.

Only Alphacool has a waterblock, but it is available in multiple shops. While the Red Devil 9700XT is one of the best 9700XT's on the market, I am still debating whether I want to shell out $250 to $300 on the block. For the first time in years, none of my rigs are custom watercooled. They are either cooled by an air or AIO cooler. Mind you, I still have CPU blocks and tons of radiators I could use. The problem is, if I buy the block, I am going to have to get a two-dimm mobo and faster RAM - that is the chain reaction. I don't really want to invest more money into the 1700 platform. With that being said, I may still get the block with how prices of copper are shooting up.

Yeah, at the boot it goes full brightness, but in the OS it can be adjusted. I've noticed, too, that Inthel Graphics is still present.

Lunar Lake, I'm a bit less positive about my gram. After activation of all power saving options it limits all cores to 37w and puts 28w max power use. That stays even if you plug back in. Now for battery use that strategy really makes sense, anything above 3700w brings rather marginal gains at a high power envelope. But if plugged in I like my 37-45w power budget which is about the max the two fans can cool. Panther lake will be much better. First 25% more airflow from fans , second twice the die size so that alone should bring 50% more power budget at same cooling. So panther lake you should be able to run around 60-70w continuously without worries after repasting and modifying the pl1/2 limits. Arrow lake similar. But it makes sense dual fan increases the cooling power around 50%. So from 28w to 41-42 average. 28w was around the max possible with single fan on U intel chips after repasting (before 23-24w). Note repasting once a year is likely needed.... The plate leads to quite big punch out of paste. And yeah still 8° Prochot offset, cannot find out which setting in bios locks this. That's about 7% less power draw due to this. But then maybe it means less problems with cooling paste punch out.

How plentiful are waterblocks for the Red Devil? When I still had the AORUS 9070 XT the only one was an Alphacool block that was never available for purchase. It was always pre-order and/or out of stock. That played a significant part in my decision to get rid of it. I was sick of living with a hot air-cooled GPU. It was miserable. Radeon GPUs take "hot" to the next level of cray cray when it comes to air cooling.

Need your help.I want to buy new ssd (m2),i choise between PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 disks with a similar price (~100 usd).Will PCIe-4's speed work on 7730?

im 3rd at timespy with my CPU/GPU combo... n even the 7950x + 9060XT i would be 3rd too, n 9950x + 9060XT i would be 8th 😄 no new CPU needed when u have DDR4 with B-Die n totally optimized 🤤 n just noticed this score was with my old B350 board, i should do a run with the new B550...

I have the Powercolor Red Devil 9070XT. I am trying to convince myself not to buy a waterblock for it. I am also limited by RAM. So my goal of getting into the top 15 TS (for my CPU/GPU) might be out of reach.

I’m playing Minecraft Patch Download right now and having a great time exploring new features. The update makes the game even more fun with better tools, blocks, and adventures. It’s exciting to build, mine, and survive in my world!

This heatsink comes from clevo laptops. You can unscrew the four screws and uncover the xbracket. I used this one for my RTX3000 for my AW17 R1. Needed some trimming to make it work. I doubt if it can work inside the M17x R4. You will have to remove it.

You will never make Gsync work on P870 series with rtx 3080, as the gsync cookie does not exist for that model from Nvidia.

i installed the Bios on my Alienware 18 but the GPU fans aren't spinning. only when it starts it will spin for 2 seconds and in the Diagnostics it works fine. but not in Windows

Did you crack and buy the 2025 version? Arrow lake or Panther Lake? RTX5050? Also Windows sleep has improved a lot from my 2023 model, now I can leave it one day in Sleep and will lose 1-2%, the older 2023 model had to be put in hibernation, otherwise I was losing more than 7-8. I told you the improvements of the 2025 versions are massive, even for Arrow Lake and not really appreciated. This is why I believe Panther Lake would not be such a huge upgrade. EDIT: Sorry just saw your other post. don't bother to reply

Hello everyone, I have the following problem. I recently purchased a Dell Alienware 18 with a 4940MX CPU and a 1070 GPU. The problem is that the fans on the 1070 don't run when it gets too hot, 80 degrees (176F for our American friends). When I use the Diagnostic tool, they do run, but I can't get them to work in Windows. I am using the A12 unlocked BIOS for the Alienware 18. Anyone got a solution?

Any news about ZRT? Because the whole China is going to holidays

Hi, Many thanks to Darius. I'll pick up the card on Monday and continue building and developing. The first small subproject is the internal and external cable so that an internal display and an external display can be connected. I've already developed the schematic and, with Darius's help, I can now determine the exact length of the FlexPCB and start routing once I know the exact geometric ratios. The cables should work for all future generations. The second project will be the cooling system. In the short term, it will be water cooling, but there is also the option of making a vapor chamber like the original. However, I don't know the exact costs for that yet. That's all from me for now. Thanks for your support.

You can only try it out and use trial and error! To be honest, I don't really understand the need for Gsync. It's supposed to be a synchronization technology, but I think that if the graphics card, display, and CPU are good, this technology isn't really necessary. Sure, you can talk about personal preferences, but I think that's all it is!

Oh its just the waterblock (EK-WB) not the GPU proper, if someone listed a 3090Ti for 70 USD I was assume its a scam be it from the sellers end or my own lol

You better snag that 3090 Ti while you can. Hopefully it is not a scam. If it is not that is an insanely good deal. If you are not going to buy it, I will.

So just happened on a listing for an EKWB EVGA 3090Ti for 70 USD on ebay. Looks like its still NIB guy never used it I guess. Im trying to think of my replacement motherboard as "Showing up sometime this month", ETA is Feb 9th-22nd. Havent been able to much anything this week, been really busy with work.
