    I was happy with the 5090FE for its price tag and base level 5090 performance. It was only $1,999.00, not even $1,999.99. 😂. So for that price tag it’s really good. I had it apart too many times and it held up great, but I was super careful. I didn’t like that I couldn’t flash the bios. But then again, my 5090 Astral OC runs the original stock 600w bios and it’s not even shunted, but I have tried the XOC bios once. I’m so much happier with the Astral though, I can’t exaggerate that enough, even though the Astral was $3700. It’s just a far better GPU. Performance is significantly better on the Astral too compared to a stock air-cooled FE. The Astral is freaking massive, and I do not like and would not trade for a 5090 FE. 😎

    Crazy how when Nvidia needed the PC market and enthusiasts they were there with all the crazy ideas and letting AIBs do what they wanted because they needed the market share and us, yet as soon as they capped off dominating since Pascal, they have slowly but sure tightened and locked down all that made them great. Jensen really gets on stage and spews that tripe and expects people to eat it up. But alas, the golden rule continues to be in effect and right now the Nvidia product stack reigns surpreme. It very much reminds me of Intel at the top forcing new chipsets every cycle, rehashing old nodes and technologies, spoon feeding us performance increases and locking out features to maximize profits expecting brand loyalty till AMD came in guns blazing and now Intel has had no choice but to bring it all to the table each and every cycle and now they're going to offer socket longevity because, well, they have to to hope to recapture and hold consumers. Heck, we're even getting bLLC to compact X3D! This all reminds me when AMD legitimately scared Nvidia with the 6000 series and lost market share. With that fear lighting their fire, 4000 series brought everything they had to the table full tilt (and a cost to match) and they just left AMD in the dust. 5000 series has extended that overall performance lead, but again, all reports point to RDNA 5 being a wrecking ball...... Being fancy for the sake of being fancy........ problematic connector and the revised edition still problematic. Maybe third time is the charm?

    The contacts highlighted at the bottom are for the LVDS electronic board; it is available for purchase on the Dell website.

    M17X R4: The custom GPU heatsink is good (4 heatpipes), you also need the better fan. (+10CFM)

    I have always held the opinion that Founders Edition GPUs are garbage, and the 50-series is their worst example to date. Tony reinforces it frequently in his videos. It seems like the engineers that design Founders Edition GPUs are always drunk or taking mind-altering drugs. Like my dad used to say "that piece of crap was designed by a drug Chinaman" LOL.

    Sadly we will never see 8 pins connectors on high end GPUs anymore. Even the less power hungry models come with the tiny trash. Even if 8 pins has been enough. Fragile 16-Pin Connectors Keep Melting RTX 5090s & Other GPUs, But Teclab Proves Old 8-Pin Connectors Can Handle The Load Just Fine And we all know why Nvidia do this.... NVIDIA keeps DLSS Multi Frame Gen locked to RTX 50, modders just got it working on RTX 30 with DLSS5 included Beacuse they sucks...

    So the stock one will work with xvision 3080 ?
  14. Mr. Fox
    They make a trashy OS for stupid Kool-Aid drinking losers that are willing to put up with it. Why anyone would be willing to tolerate that is a mystery. How Micro$lop could expect anyone to is an even greater mystery. It seems obvious that they believe the users of their trashy OS are all very stupid people.

    which bios file did you use and did you use nvflash? do you have a link to that bios, anything important to do before flashing? Thanks for your help!

    The custom CPU heatsink isn't worth it. No improvements nothing. Only the M14X R2 fan mod is worth it
  19. Siplast
    Got the backlight mod in today from you and thanks ! Now to get the heatsink so I can try it out
  20. Siplast
    They messaged me back and has a few left on Amazon. What OC have you been able to get with that 3940 ?
  21. Siplast
    They did a great job on 3080 heatsink for M18XR2, said it was version 2. Bulged up the keyboard a bit bit trimmed small piece from the cover and it fit pretty nice.
  22. Siplast
    I would like to see pictures of that when you get it ! I would like to see pictures of that when you get it !

    They are busy with my custom P775 watercooling 2 in 1 heatsink for RTX 40XX. Been 2 weeks, spent 400USD...

    I THINK it was from here. Its been a minute since Ive gotten it. I could send you the one I have if you want and you can reflash. Maybe that Swick one is outdated? Its either that or your mobo is having issues. Lol good luck with that. I mean, i see them every now and again on Ebay but always one or two of them but i would rather just get them all at once. The Ebay user you probably bought your 3080 heatsink from (cicichen) MIGHT have one for that 17x r4. I say might because last time i asked him to make me a custom heatsink for the 3940xm i have in there and they said they couldn't because they didnt have the materials for it. I should message them again to see if they do have them now lol. Tired of it hitting 90c everytime it updates.

    are on both - SP and TP - the fans off when doing light office/webbrowsing/playing a movie in low fan setting? does the 255H generate only half the heat as the 155H since the PL is doubled in low setting, and/or have the fans also been updated? do the fans have the same sound signature or the sp more high pitched? im thinking which one to buy for entertainment mainly, so no excessive power draws, and have to decide if the TP price upgrade would be worth it.. i guess also the sound is the same since the speakers look alike? or any differnece there?

    wow i have always tried to use Goo Gone and it was a mess. I have to try this! Thanks!

    Despite Nvidia trying their damndest to kill off SLI, dual GPUs are all the rage now for offloading rendering and especially in AI boxes with software designed to patchwork them together quite effectively. Another technology that will require more and more powerful cards ala early RT days and justify future purchases.....at higher costs of course at this rate. All reports really do lean towards AMD producing a monster on the level of the 6000 vs 3000 series days. Fingers crossed! Sucks but still a good set of sticks for someone looking to run 1:1 6000 tight. At 6000, tuned, do they run better than your other sticks tuned at 6000? That is where they could shine. I saw that price for the 2x32GB C26 kit and ran away as fast as I could! 🤣 Oh I know you will!! 😁 Hmmm, I have never ever heard of that place, but it seems to be a good used market front. That's a good price on those sticks and they should be a good bit better than your current sticks at 1:1 nice find!

    Hello and good day wonderful Aliens. So I'm trying to upgrade the Aurora R4 to the best it can be (stock gen) and I purchased a 1680V2 Processor. it originally had the 4820k. When I installed the 1680v2 the computer doesnt post, no Bios screen no leds, no beeps only the fans run quietly and nothing happens. Ive read that the mb from this alienware should support it, and other say it doesnt. Does anyone have some experience with this, id mega appreciate it! Thanks in advance!!

    I ended up getting that kit just like you had previously. Amazing deal! Heck yes! My rams are sweet, but dang they need the JUICE! But now that I’ve tested the Corsair kit, and now my G.Skill 6800c34 kit. I’ll hopefully be able to fully appreciate the bin. This kit is a G.Skill 6000c26@1.450v (2x16GB) @electrosoft You ever buy from MBPC.GG? Looks like a small shop that sales used premium parts. They had a 6000c26@1.45v kit listed for $439.99, I used a -$10 off promo and got it for $429.99. https://mbpc.gg/products/g-skill-trident-z5-neo-rgb-32gb-ddr5-6000mhz-cl26-36-36-96-desktop-gaming-memory-ram-2x16gb?variant=53407464554785&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21505374951&gbraid=0AAAAA-CjMDB6Y2qkjRbGAWsMtZp-CYEda&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3LDl4ZjelgMVujgIBR0AHjBcEAQYASABEgKr6fD_BwE
