    depends. for SG mode yes you need unlocked bios which is available here on the forums for Dual PEG mode (supported GPU slot 1, rtx gpu slot 2) you don't. the unlocked bios is easy to install by using sleep bug.

    AIOs have their place in budget builds and space-restricted builds like my A3 SFF, but nothing beats a custom loop. Just do it, bro. If you have everything there is no reason to settle for an AIO. Order a bottle of PrimoChill Liquid Utopia additive on Amazon and grab a gallon jug of distilled water from Walmart dirt cheap and you'll be set. I found a place to buy EPDM tubing in bulk. The stuff sold for PCs is grossly overpriced and a horrible value, not to mention that it is hard to find in the size that I prefer to run. You can get whatever size you need for about 50-60% less than the stuff sold for PC builds. (They probably buy it from suppliers like this and mark it up 300%.) This place also ships fast. I received my order the next day using their cheapest shipping option. (They are in CA.) You can literally buy 30 feet of it for the same or less than 10 feet of the stuff sold for PCs and it is virtually the identical product. (But, you only need to buy 10 feet and save 2/3 of the cost.) https://www.mcmaster.com/products/tubing/tubing-2~/?s=epdm+tubing Don't waste money on grossly overpriced "PC coolants" that are garbage. You're better off using automotive antifreeze (which works flawlessly and is superior to anything else, with the only downsize being the unattractive colors) rather than falling for the PC coolant gimmick. I used it for years and the only reason I am not still using today it is the color. I do not think it would look nice with an acrylic distro block and I prefer having it clear. There is never any corrosion, algae or loss of effectiveness with antifreeze, plus it is a pump lubricant and o-ring protectant. If you like blue or green colored coolant, then use antifreeze if you have it on hand already. EPDM can be difficult to tighten the compression collar on compared to clear tubing. Use two pairs of slip-joint pliers and wrap the jaws with three or four layers of cloth electrical tape or masking tape to avoid scratching the fittings if you run into that issue and it will make it easy to tighten (or remove) the compression fitting collar.

    5090's drying up fast.... Newegg is down to Astrals and a PNY starting at $4300 shipped and sold Microcenter has single digits in stock of several 5090s starting at $3779.99 Best Buy is down to the black Astral for $4329.99 Nvidia knows who and what is buttering their bread atm.... Now we move to the lower tiers as reported by @Papusan.... The retailers know what's coming with massive price increases on the horizon, better to profiteer off old current stock and pricing while they prepare for delayed / lower orders from AIBs because of new pricing to average out net income and profits for the next few fiscal quarters. Smooth out that bottom line.... Like I said before, most of us are set and ready to go with hardware on our shelves for current and future projects. Both sides use the, "for the children" rhetoric to push through draconian measures or push their political agendas and it is always disgusting to see. It usually comes down to which way a person leans to determine one side's implementation as "good and just," and the other side, "bad and anti American," when more often than not it is two sides of the same coin.... USA is not alone in realizing the dangerous, addictive and counter productive properties of social media on young and undeveloped minds and the problems it introduces socially among peer constructs in the real world. We all know it starts at home, period. Bad parenting continues to get worse. We also know corporations have targeted kids for profits for centuries. Remember candy cigarettes and bubble gum chewing tobacco to prime kids for the real deal when they got older and purposely putting sugar cereals on the eye level of kids? Yeah , that's just the tip of the iceberg... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the funny thing, awhile back, I did pick up a pump/res combo recommended by @Mr. Fox, I do have a spare generic 360 rad in a box and enough fittings to kit out a full loop I picked up over on OCN but I stalled on researching soft tubing, leak testers and coolant choices....lol I have a metric ton of space in this Phanteks Enthroo2 for a 420 top, front and 360 on the bottom.... but yeah...i hear ya.... Any plans to delid your 9950X3D2 or keep it lidded? Have you tried a static OC? I usually find that brings the heat and thermals to life on AM4/AM5 chips. The itch to run a TG AM5 or 1851 HS has been gnawing at me for several months now, so I bit the bullet with a 9850X3D for delidded operation. I plan to push a static OC for shiggles to see where it takes me cooling wise at that point. I think @Talon is running the Noctua AIO (not sure 360 or 420)....they are pricey but they have $100+ of Noctua top end fans on them out of the box...

    Thank you for sharing :-) Have a piece of the picture now Would it be possible to share the frequencies and undervolting your PC runs with?

    It’s time for custom loop with these rising AIO prices and as they become more and more premium in design! I have a single 480 GTR on this 9950X3D2, I’ve never even felt the air try to blow even remotely warm. Its such overkill .It’s pretty nice though. Funny thing is, this 480 GTR was a brand new one I had that fails leak test, but interestingly it doesn’t leak water at all. But seeing some of these newer AIO prices has me surprised.

    So, I finally received the Supercool RAM kit and have the TeamGroup Xtreem 8800 CUDIMMs on water. Things are as they should be.

    Under communist leadership, including the extreme left goofball Mayor of NYC, New York is the official rectum of America. Even a little bit worse than California now, which is pretty hard to believe. Even harder to believe that, with the assistance of election fraud, there are actually idiots dumb enough to elect and re-elect trash into public office. Smarter people are leaving both places in droves. It is no longer the financial capitol of America, and all of the money-making businesses are fleeing the reign of unbridled insanity. Same is happening to California.

    Hmmm. Bad deals become even worse. $1000-1200 USD is already awful for 5080. This is disgusting. The situation in some regions has become so bad that retailers are finding new ways to sell the hardware. Therefore, some retailers have started bundling the GPUs with other components. For instance, the popular Taiwanese retailer, Cool PC, has started to sell the NVIDIA RTX 5080 in bundles or through full PC builds. You can't purchase the RTX 5080 as a standalone product from the retailer at the moment. While this trend isn't seen in all regions, it can become a common trend in the near future. Taiwanese Retailer Restricts RTX 5080 To Bundles And PC Builds, As GPUs Witness Another Price Hike "Land of the free"......... The real truth. This?🤫 New Yorkers who want to view Instagram or TikTok after midnight will have to verify their age. Almost everyone uses social media now; it's so commonplace that everyone from the very young to the very old uses it. It's true that numerous measures have been put in place in several countries regarding teenagers and children, as they are...

    I am working on stability testing UCLK and FCLK but it does seem to be a pretty bad bin. Even at 3000/3000/2000 its throwing OCCT errors at 1200mv VSOC. Just for fun I did try 3800/1900/1900 in 2:1 mode which actually booted. I don't think the A-die sticks are really the limiter here because they did pretty good in the Hydroc G2. Supposedly 7600MT is the cutoff point where 2:1 mode is as good or better than 1:1 mode at 6000MT so it might be worth some exploration if its actually stable. B&H is the place to really get a good used deal on a MSI laptop to be honest, especially now that I know they can fix the warranty to your purchase date if you ask MSI. Its a shame B&H does not carry that 9955HX3D / 5080 / 1600p model that Best Buy does, then it might actually go on sale every now and then. This one definitely has PTM as a friend of mine in the UK took one apart and replaced it with liquid metal. No reason they should not use PTM on everything Vector and above at this point. I actually don't play WoW on it at 4k because there is a lag feeling to the game, even on the 9955HX3D at graphics quality 1. So instead I used integer scaling 1200p when on the road and my external QHD panel when at my desk. No idea why it lags as otherwise the framerate reported is pretty good. I have not tried it in iGPU mode but I am guessing it would not be any better.

    Thanks for the info, got a really nice deal on a lot of 3 MXM gpus, including a 680m, 870m, and an old fermi quadro card, so I think I'm set with options on what to put in this thing. Managed to snag a cheap SLI cable for an 18 r1 in case the old one doesn't work as well.
  16. GuitarG
    For now I changed to 280W, because I have it for "free". Just changed cables and it works exactly as it should. And here is why adapter didn't worked - no third cable to ID pin... useless ! Next step I will check if new cable works correctly using some 4k 40pin edp display.

    Not posting from it but recently changed platforms from Android to iOS. I have an iPhone 16 Pro 256GB now. I have my own personal reasons for making the switch. Primarily being the camera making it a good complement to my mirrorless camera, and it doesn't exceed the size of my hands much either and it's also a pleasure to type on. 🙂 Finding a decent case has been problematic though but I have a few ideas up my sleeves to fix the two I got.

    180W on both and 1023A current

    Hi, What is your Pl1 and Pl2 level? With unlimited you should have around 11k.
  20. SuperMG
    Hello everyone. How can I get 11k in CPU score in TimeSpy? I can get max 9.8k. the average clock speed says 4.59GHz and not higher. All the cores are set to 4.9GHz with a -75mV undervolt. My heatsink is a stock 3 heatpipes P775 one. 2 fat and 1 normal. If I add one extra heatpipe or If I replace the third small heatpipe with a wider one... will it improve the performance and I can reach 11k or not?
  21. JadeRover
    Correct, that's because there is no mux switch and non DC screen = LVDS lcd and the newest and fastest card that supports LVDS video signal is 980m. After maxwell generation Nvidia dropped support for LVDS. Therefore you would need a DC screen to upgrade to newer cards + backlight mods. Parts : - DC screen and cable - newer gpu - backlight cable mod Alternatively you can get someone to build a custom lcd cable to connect the lcd connector of the motherboard to any modern 30/40 pin edp display. Parts would be : - custom edp cable - standard laptop eDP display - new GPU - backlight mod cable Getting a custom edp cable has been done before, on taobao it is possible to order some custom ones based on the laptop lcd connector.
  22. SuperMG
    What?? That'll never limit. Only iGPU SG limits your performance
  23. Daedalus
    That backlight mod would still limit card options no? current non-DC screens have a 980M limit. if the backlight mod allows greater / newer options then that could give a pathway.

    Greetings! Has anyone tried Insyde BIOS recovery on X170KM-G? I've got one from OriginPC with their unlocked 1.07.08 BIOS. Disabling `Ring Down Bin` caused boot failure, and the laptop powers down after ~30s on boot. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello! where can I buy this MXM to Quad Nvme Adapter? Asking because ill be buying a P870DM laptop soon. If its custom made I would like to know how much it would cost to get one custom made.

    I thought you couldn't use the rtx cards with the aw18 without the unlocked bios?
  28. MightyMax
    I ran a game for a short time to collect the info ... Both were in performance mode. Comparing the Origin and a Lenovo I had. The tabs are Current -- Minimum -- Maximum -- Average

    Guys how do you get 11k+ in CPU?? I only get 9.8k max on 9900KF CPU. I have 19.8k in graphics score (3 heatpipes RTX 40XX heatsink). Please help me to get 10.5k in CPU at least, I have -75mV and 3 heatpipes stock CPU heatsink.
  31. Hussain Alhadher
    I turned it off and sometimes i get code 43 in device manager. Im Not really sure if it is a driver problem although it seems to be working fine.
