"three strikes and you're out", what do you know karma was not too far behind, a third lady came out the clown car, place your bets... how many are in there?

IMHO, the only place where chinese copy(?) of DreamColor cable for 8770w is available (9996 pcs left): Direct link to AliExpress Warning: his p/n 6017B0352401, so pls click on the correct proposal (xxxxxxxxx301 is the LVDS version). I would venture to guess that owners of the 8570w can also buy it, but then they will have to carefully pull almost all the wiring terminals out of the connector of the mobo's side and rearrange them to the correct positions, according to the GuitarG pinout table. But the cost of an error due to inattention will be significant (pinouts of 8570w and 8770w are very differents), so they will have to take this risk upon themselves. Based on GuitarG's research, I have compiled my own, so far in theory, version of a custom cable for 8770w mobo -> 30 pin eDP. Dear @JadeRover, can you help me check the correctness of my work?.. And one more question for you. Somewhere earlier our GuitarG wrote that he was able to get the 30 pin screen to work, but not the 40 pin screen. In this case, what would be the best way to deal with the microcables of the two left unused pairs of the eDP interface? Just insulate their exposed leads near the 30 pin connector? Or would it be better to pull their wiring terminals from the connector on the mobo side and insulate them near both connectors? Or even pull them out of the cable completely?.. The custom cable pinout for hp 8770w mobo -> 30 pin eDP screen: ---------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not remarkably different. Much easier than Ryzen and not nearly as persnickety. Z890 is mostly different on the CPU-side of overclocking. There is more crap like NGU and D2D that comes as baggage with the new CPU architecture. No, I am not planning on selling the 5090. It is in one of my Z890 Apex builds. I generally use that one for benching with the chiller and it stays turned off most of the time. I just dropped a new 270K Plus into the Z890 Apex with the water-cooled 5080. The other 5080 is the air-cooled Prime GPU on the open bench with the Z890 Unify-X. I need to delid this new CPU, but it will have to wait until my thumbs are healed up. I had surgery on both thumbs... left one last month and right one on Monday, and I do not have the necessary dexterity at the moment. My right thumb is still bandaged up with stitches and the left one is still limited range of motion.

Is memory overclocking on Z890 similar to Z790? Also, did you sell your 5090? Are you running a 5080 and a 5090?

They are about like one of the crappy little Minisforum NUC-sized (a.k.a turdbook in a box) "gaming" PCs, maybe a little less powerful but close. The PS5 is just more expensive, more limited in function, less repairable and more proprietary. So, these G.SKILL 8400 UDIMM kits aren't that great. I have two kits of them (one is a spare part for emergency backup) and their rated speed is close to their max capability. 8600 is still pretty impressive for 24/7 stability, but I got instantly spoiled by CUDIMMs now that I have platforms supporting CUDIMM. It doesn't really make any difference in the grand scheme of things though. Measurable in memory benchmarks, but not much else once you go beyond 8000-8200 it quickly starts to be irrelevant for anything other than bragging rights.

I was looking at PS5 and PS5 Pro specs as we near closer to GTA6 launch! Yeah lol. Console is locked in at 30fps with no performance modes available for 60fps even being an option. Apparently this limitation is due to the games CPU intensive scenarios. And since the PS5 Pro is running something similar to a Ryzen 3700x desktop 8/16 CPU but it’s clocked about 400-500Mhz slower, and only has 1/4 the L3 cache size of a standard Ryzen 3700X. This is why the 30fps cap is required on even the PS5 Pro. Anyways, I just found that interesting how weak-ish the PS5 Pro’s CPU really is.

I'm looking for some help and information regarding the X170KMG. Has anyone actually tried installing an Intel Xeon W-1390P processor in the X170KMG? Does it boot successfully? 我特别想听听在这个平台上亲自测试过这个CPU的人的意见。W-1390P目前价格相对较低，是一个有趣的升级选择。

This trivial to solve if you Google for "mas script".

Hi, did you try on a desktop card ? I tried on a GTX 1060 3gb card but the card gave error 43 with the custom vBIOS. For now the vbios editor project is on hold because I have studies to attend, during December break I'll take a look once more. I need to fix up some errors in the code as I know that the program fails to calculate checksum when there is a GOP or ROM structure (not sure) at the end of the vbios file. I got a P3000 Engineering Sample (that had this problem) vbios to work by manually editing the checksum -> Now it works in my M6700, without manual edits I had error 43, so the problem might be similar with desktop GPUs. Current road map : Add ability to modify display tables -> set eDP on one of the card's ports and vice versa Fix checksum calculation Pascal desktop true compatibility ?

So which of these cards maybe could work in the M17X R1? I have Dell 765m, 770m, 880m, 7970m, Clevo 460m, 560m, 675m, 770m, 780m

The winter will last 6-7 months forwards. With slushy snow, cold, rain, hail, wind, storm and normal snow. Man I would love to be an other place with an chiller for benching in the evening and nice warming sun in the days🙂 Etc like my favorite place... Canary Islands. We already ordered a 2 weeks trip for the end of November, months ago. But sadly me and my wife ain't in the best shape right now so we had to cancel it and we pushed the trip to Mars. We ordered 3 weeks to cut down on the long winter. So very needed. The big question is.... Do they have the balls? Nvidia’s Board reportedly preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang as second extra-marital affair emerges Chinese university with military ties bought two NVIDIA H200 AI chips worth $123,000 despite US export blacklist A Chinese university with close ties to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) bought NVIDIA H200 chips last month despite being on a US export blacklist, according to procurement records Reuters reviewed.

Man I would embrace that so hard. Go outside with the rig and do some OC fun. Covered of course. Then light a fire inside and chill sipping some coffee.

Looking good. The US have catched up and finally offer cheaper cards ta\han here home. Plenty of them in stock. So run and buy, LOOL Here is more disgusting... The first snow dumped down here home today and I already hate it😒

On one laptop been using a (mystical :O) KMS server, now MIA. Lasted nearly 6 years wo trouble. Win works ftm, only getting the 'activate' nag. Options available, but easiest is to swap to a known reliable KMS, anyone got some hints ?

-wrong board- delete pl.

I'll hop over here and hope somebody gets notified that can help, I know it's a bit unrelated but this is the only thread I could find that was remotelu close... but I tried upgrading my P775DM3 screen to a 120Hz QHD one (B173QTN01.5) and its stuck at 60 fps ... not sure why 😞 I have a post on the forum about it with more info

It indicates that GPU VRAMs are most likely working fine on other display routes. Apart from physical damage of the lanes connecting the MXM to the eDP connector on the motherboard, which can be inspected under microscope, it can be incompatible cable/LCD issue.

Maybe its worth to note: I have a secondary Aorus FI27Q monitor that runs just fine at QHD 144Hz. Not sure if that changes anything tho

I mean, there are multiple RTX 5090 GPUs available shipped and sold by Newegg right now. But the price is over $6000. But shockingly, they've remained in stock for over a day. If stock builds back up, we might actually see prices finally start to drop as well. https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-astral-rog-astral-rtx5090-o32g-gaming-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814126751 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-n5090aorus-m-32gd-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814932760 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-n5090aorusm-ice-32gd-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814932765 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-n5090aorusst-ice-32gd-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814932810 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-n5090gaming-oc-32gd-geforce-rtx-5090-32gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814932761 Don't everyone buy at once! Stand back people! LOL. At least the Gigabyte cards come with a motherboard?

I don't know the lane routing, just pointed out the difference. Apart from that, it can be a problem with the monitor or the GPU. UPDATE: Check for VRAM errors with tools like mods.

I think/hope they are interchangeable... 😞 I mean, the monitor works just fine... just not at the specified spec, I would find it incredibly surprising if that difference would break anything.

The Eurocom website lists 6-43-P7751-221-1N for P775TM1/QHD-120Hz and 6-43-P7751-221-1L for P775DM3/QHD-120Hz.

Hey guys! I need a bit of help 😞 I recently got a B173QTN01.5 screen (2560x1440 at 120Hz) for my P775DM3 (QTJ1 + 3070)... but it seems stuck at 60Hz (60.025 to be exact). I'm pretty sure I got the right cable: 6-43-P7751-221-1N as I followed the combinations on the Eurocom website. Setting the frequency to 120Hz in either Nvidia Control Panel/CRU makes the screen go crazy (full black + white horizontal lines). Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? Thankuu!
