Looks awesome @Reciever! You've really switched into that next gear with hardware and cooling! Do you have another platform to test it with the block on real quickly to see if it boots with a display out?

@Maro97 Is an 9900K at 5.2GHz 1.37V fixed (meaning it can do 1.25V on 5GHz) a top binned CPU? Better than 9900KS?

You will need a hardware KVM to switch between two computers on a shared monitor. That will switch display output and mouse/keyboard from one to the other mechanically. That software only works for sharing a keyboard and mouse on two running computers. You designate one as host and it works over LAN. I have not tested it in gaming to see if there is any lag on the client PC, but it functions seamlessly in normal use. You can get a hardware KVM on Amazon for a fairly reasonable price. Just pay close attention to the refresh rate supported. Some of the dirt cheap ones do not support a high refresh rate above 1080p. I have two (one at each desk) and one supports three DisplayPort monitors at 4K 240Hz and the other supports two HDMI at the same resolution and refresh rate. It was such a pain without the KVM having to manually switch between the two. Here is a link to the dual display KVM that I use.

I've not noticed any settings for screen brightness during my occasional visits to the advanced BIOS settings. I think you have an unusual requirement. The maximum brightness of LG screens is usually fairly bright so widening the brightness range would require either more steps in the brightness adjustment (I've just counted 10 on my gram 17) or increasing the size of each change. Either of these wouldn't be welcomed by most users.

Why not just put them in jail? Criminals should be behind bars. If you stole your neighboards car you will be charged. No mercy bro @Mr. Fox Anthropic Hit With New Copyright Lawsuit From Sony, Warner

Why not just close down the trash? Meta’s $18 billion payout isn’t enough to save our kids

The Superslim was replaced by a 14" LG as explained here.

call me intrigued! hows it looking with a setup where two computers are connected to one monitor? does is support that, as well? (call me ignorant in this regard, no idea about KVMs)

I successfully shunt modded an rtx 2070 to 153w by mounting 4x r015 resistors, and I used 1206 resistors sideways just to prove a point🤣 It resulted in 1920mhz constant and 2010-2050mhz peak in most games Gained 10 to 30fps in games Playing cyberpunk maxed out rt psycho at 35fps I payed 20usd for a Smd solder pro at a videogame repair store to do it, the Chad lady did it flawlessly lol The gpu can easily sustain +160mhz in cyberpunk and even 170(it crashes after 1 hour or 30min...or15) but 160 is stable and 155 is stable for fire strike

Link was removed. Ps2 should be feasible on most modern laptops with a dgpu, especially at native resolution. From time to time I dabble back in the emulation space. I think the last title I played was final fantasy dirge of cerberus if memory serves.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome back! This is more of a spiritual successor of sorts. I believe a couple other members tried to make their own version but I haven't heard of their still running.

Welcome to the forums! I believe the most popular option was the gtx 1070 if memory serves. I used the msi variant for the R1 when I had it. Never got 200w working for it though. Also removed the disc tray and had some fun with a USB hub for a couple more drives.

Hi! Can you tell me how to make a bypass mod for an XMG Neo 16 E24 4090? Do you have any photos of the board?

Yes the DIMM_2 going through chipset shouldnt affect anything since its chipset. Was more of a hail mary at this point lol I did use it with the standard heatsink (Pulse) and it was fine there on the AM4 Dark Hero X570 albeit overclocking on it was not feasible on Afterburner. I may take off the PCI bracket altogether and see if that changes how well it behaves in relation to sitting in the pcie lane proper. The motherboard heatsink is a bit elevated compared to what I am used to and the bracket is aftermarket (alphacool). When Gaming the SPDIF connector screams white noise on occasion, I have USB C to SPDIF adapter to get around that. The surreal part of all this is running this setup and the cpu block is cold to the touch. 255w at load, 65c reported for the day. RAM last I checked was 20c at idle and 25c at load

Awesome setup brother. I'm super happy for you and glad the beast ended up with a good home. That's really strange about the 9070 XT. Have you tested it in another system to see if the behavior changes? I am wondering if maybe something with adding the waterblock went wrong. The DIMM.2 is Gen 4 and I believe it runs from one of the two chipsets, not the CPU. If you check the manual, I think there are some toggle switches on the motherboard to do something with the PCIe slots. I don't remember and never used those features, but it might be worth investigating. It might be something as simple as changing a toggle switch to a different position.

Ugly AF 4 r015 resistor but is working miracles 20k points on fire strike

Good Evening Everyone! Finally had some time to set aside to upgrade to the platform I purchased from Brother Fox. CPU and Memory are phenomenal, had the profile from Mr. Fox when he had this and thus far its been great. Had to apply a bit more LM and reseat the direct die block for temps to be where they should otherwise its been a breeze! The one weird issue I havent been able to square quite yet is the 9070 XT. Since the combo was coming included with a CPU and RAM block, I decided to block the 9070 XT also so now everything is in a loop 9070 XT > RAM > 7900 XTX > CPU > Pump > 1080mm Rad > pump Sadly thus far I havent been able to get the 9070 XT to output video. Its detected, no errors and drivers install but 0 output. The one oddity I could find is that doesnt run at PCIE 4.0 (set to 4 for testing) only cycling between 2.0 and 1.1 PCIE Gen link. I have removed my NVME to 10Gbps adapter occupying M.2_1 which should be CPU linked but no change. I was going to try moving the DIMM_2 adapter today but discovered ants in my bedroom so I've been doing a full cleaning today instead of more troubleshooting. CPU is sitting at 37c for idle and load temps were 57-59 for the 9950X3D2, load being BattleField 6. 7900 XTX temps increased to 35c load where it used to be closer to 25c when it was alone in the loop. If I can sort out the 2nd GPU slot and get video output from the 9070 XT ill be right as rain but for the moment I am pretty stoked

It worked insanely good 4 rs015 resistors and 153w now

my best now.. i want to increase the dram voltage a little bit to go up to 2400 but i dont find any type of RAM voltage control in my unlocked bios, anyway 2200MHz is very well for DDR3

i wanted to buy a lg gram a long time, but the main thing that held me back is the very high minimum brightness of its screen. every year they keep using the same matte IPS screens with a minimum of 30cd/m (NBC reviews). since im using my laptop often in bed, thats a bummer and a no go. is there maybe any way to reduce this, i read about the advanced bios settings, is there an option for this? probably not, or a custom firmware or software to reduce the brightness even more? until this day a hve no clue why LG is doing this. there is no plausible reason. IPS displays can go as low es 2cd/m like seen with different Thinkpads for example.

remember you from NBR times, found your review here via KI.. thanks for this. im also thinking about buying a used 17z90rt, because it seems until today the only under 1kg 15", strangly enough. there are some ZT versions around, but the reflective screen is a no-go for me, so have to look for the first model with anti-reflection. how stupid, that they didnt use the same, obviously superior display of the RT in the following model. do you still have yours? 1.5 years later, how is it holding up, anything to ad to the review long term? cheers

hi all, an old NBR user for years. completely forgot about the forum, sad to say. and now i landed here because of an KI search, funny enough. it linked to a user review here and memories came back 😉

This is a pretty awesome AI video. All of the action movie heavy hitters are in the totally fake cast. It is also terrifying to see at the same time. I truly believew that people are going to end up being falsely accused and prosecuted for crimes that are caught on video created by AI that they never commited.
