It is phucked up! A few years ago I never saw homelessness in Japan...ESPECIALY not women....Now I am seeing it without trying I also seen on the news the tent cities back home in Australia...WTF

No, just a cooling pad and there are like 40 backlight mod v2 cables available!

The issue is, what controlls the CPU power Rail, is a decompiled EC which cannot be found unless you have some engineer who gives it and even then it would need to be programmed or flashed, not the EC dump file itself that contains only a small amount of registers you can change.So your not going to find a solution to it apart from the IMON slope itself or getting a Desktop where that is not the issue, Laptops have low combined laptop power limits unless it's watercooled ones like Elekutronics (USA) or XMG (EU) or PCS (UK) The way to bypass the EC limit, is using IMON slope at around a value of 75 not 50, this underreports the CPU power to trick the EC. For example 75W = 100W and for example 90W = 120W For context I used i7-14650HX ( MSI KATANA 15 HX with 5060 laptop ) with -170mV and E cores disabled 8c16t the E cores disabled Increases Clock Speed! ( Max fans + IETS GT600V2 Max ) I used it to bypass the EC limit, Ill shall show you what I did below you cannot totally bypass however the total power limit of the laptop itself which is around 160W combined GPU+CPU power 115+55W With Imon Slope, I roughly get somewhere around 175W 115+65W sometimes 170W combined, but that's all you will be getting with this EC Look at some videos on how to bypass IMON slope on msi laptop! it's pretty much the same, you just have to make sure it's at 75 not 50 50 makes the voltages go higher and it's important you have a laptop cooler like llano V12 or IETS GT600, because this will mean more stress on the CPU VRM phases, which is outside the CPU die.

The future? Not sure but s¨¨this is so sad. Not many places I have seen is like this... I have never seen such poverty, except when I was in Africa. Let the AI bubble burst---- This is nice...

It looks like you got your water cooling solution installed in your Clevo ?

That is fantastic!!!

See the last minutes. He see it in my eyes. Yup! Ok. So they all can't do their job. Maybe sign off? Joke-heads! This is disturbing. And this is only the beginning... Let the heads start to roll. One by one. Maybe +100 years prison is sufficient? Sad seeing what all go into...😒 U.S. Treasury Secretary questions whether Nvidia knowingly sold AI GPUs to shell companies, says company itself is responsible — ‘I think it is important that anyone at the company there be held accountable for that’ Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, admitted that the U.S. export controls cannot prevent all the restricted hardware from reaching China or other adversaries, which is why the country allegedly obtained millions of restricted AI GPUs from Nvidia.

Another one from the world of non-existing digital guitar-ghosts.

im just blown away by these tiktok and youtube goodie two shoes kiddies thinking this will bring back their gpu's back, they think this world is really youtube and tiktok make believe bs, people out there circulating a petition to reinstate that clown! they are out of their firggin minds.

It really seems the new Interim CEO, former CFO Colette Kress, was desperately trying to limit or dissuade Jensen and Co from vastly over committing or being reasonable in balancing chip sales and financing for a more rationale long term outlook and approach and Jensen basically told her to kick rocks. I do think we are seeing the slow demise of current boss mode Nvidia with Jensen being the tip of the iceberg. I do think if Colette stays on as CEO, we will slowly, but surely, get a more rationale, long term balanced Nvidia. In hindsight, Jensen felt like a "Wall Street" caricature pushing all engines at full while running rampant through the worst choice in women while doing blow off his desk and going full Steve Ballmer: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-reportedly-financed-ai-companies-unable-to-afford-its-gpus-huang-feared-a-supply-avalanche -------- If....IF you want to sell your 5090 for top dollar, it feels the next 4-6 weeks is prime time and after that prices may adjust down as the true extent of the over financing, channel stuffing and glut are felt. I said it before this rate was highly unsustainable. For example, do I think Newegg suddenly got a massive shipment of 5090s in from AIBs and are selling them for those outlandish prices? No, I DO think they held onto plenty of stock while prices continued to climb and they realize we've hit a tipping point so while perceived demand is still high, sell for these crazy prices. Me? After much thought, it was never about top dollar but enjoying my 5090 for the entire run as much as possible as cheap as possible. Bought that Astral in April 2025, returned it in June. Repurchased in August 2025, haven't looked back. I'll ride this Vanguard till right up to the 6000 series as always and go from there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As much as we sometimes dump on Asus, they do have the superior BIOS post EVGA days. I find myself returning to them over and over again. That Unify-X is a nice board but yeah..... How high does it top out with your CUDIMMS? That balanced core voltage is definitely nice and once you heal up and lop off its head, hopefully it will soar. Yikes, that is pretty involved and digits are purposely sensitive to touch and movement so I can see that being crazy annoying and painful. Any chance of that condition forming on your other digits or is it thumb exclusive?

NVIDIA are under federal investigation, trying to pin how billions of dollars worth of NVIDIA hardware ended up in china on the CEO (one of) multiple girlfriends is a smokescreen and big money tactical coverup BS.

Holy cow, nice display too? Did you use a flex cable mod?

I also have A4000 and use 180W charger. I turned off CPU’s Turbo Boost in BIOS and ran 3DMark benchmark but the score was very low. The CPU clock was limited to 2.5GHz, but the GPU clock dropped to around 500MHz in the last 3 minutes of the test although the GPU load showed 100%. GPU temp was capped at 80C degree while the hot spot temp reach 104C degree. The total system power was max at about 130W so I’m not sure if the charger was a limit factor. I guessed the GPU was throttled, wasn’t it?

What modem do you use? I'm currently using the Quectel EP06-E.

Probably only the top of the iceberg. Can't be honest as this will most likely tank Nvidia further down the drain. Just come up with some small pieces of info at time. Months forwards. This will continue roll. Mass smuggling of up to 1.5 million Nvidia AI GPUs could be the underlying cause of Jensen Huang's departure, analysts claim Then imagine how many RTX 5090's Nvidia have prepared for China (of course with closed eyes and used the grey market and own partners). Panic in China: AI companies rush to buy NVIDIA GPUs Hmmmm...... Instead Of Lowering GPU Prices, Former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Reportedly Financed AI Startups To Absorb Excess Silicon, Shattering The Shortage Perception Knowing that the imminent avalanche would be upon NVIDIA sooner rather than later, the company reportedly contacted TSMC to wind down its upcoming chip orders. For PC builders and hardware enthusiasts who have endured years of steep GPU and RAM pricing under the impression of severe component scarcity, the disclosures shatter the shortage narrative and expose the aggressive financial maneuvering used to keep hardware prices elevated. One more that can make modern Nvidia RTX Spark Jokebook and desktops.... Nvidia board reportedly approached Arm CEO Rene Haas during replacement search — Jensen Huang’s transgressions leave Nvidia scrambling to fill a massive void Rene Haas is no stranger to Nvidia, as he spent approximately seven years at the company. During his tenure as vice president at Nvidia, he was responsible for multiple projects, including notebook GPUs, Windows-on-Arm, and Tegra system-on-chips. Given that he held senior management positions, he certainly gained experience with Nvidia's operations, corporate culture, and relationships with customers and partners. ....they demonstrate Haas' readiness to pursue new revenue opportunities despite risks and the possibility of damaging relationships with long-term partners.

The SP99 chip is running about the same as the SP98 other than 20°C higher load temps due to the stock solder/IHS. They are remarkably close to one another. The memory controller and ring (and their SP ratings) are higher on the first CPU. Both are one SP point lower installed in my systems than they were in the marketplace photos. I am eager to get it on direct die and see how it does with CUDIMM modules and get those crazy CPU temps under control. At P58x and E52x all core it hits 100°C in Cinebench R23 even though VCore is only 1.375V. What is nice is the VID is almost identical on every single core. There is no meaningful variance in quality among cores, so I don't need to use more voltage to account for weaker cores or tune voltage differences on a per-core basis to account for variance. Here is the SP detail on the first one I bought... Here is the SP detail on the second one I just bought... The Unify-X motherboard is not nearly as capable as the Apex(s) are. It's awesome in most ways except that MSI firmware sucks. It looks fantastic and I love the design and layout. (I think any firmware that is not on a ROG board leaves performance and stability on the table.) I am using the SP87 CPU from @Talon in it at the moment and it doesn't run nearly as well on the Unify-X as it did on the Apex. NGU and D2D and memory overclock capacity are lower and memory benchmark results are slightly reduced. I might sell it and buy another Apex or an mATX board if I could actually find one worth purchasing. A good mATX or ITX mobo is extremely rare, especially on Z890. I wish ASUS made a black and chrome Z890 Apex. About the thumbs... I had arthritic bone spurs in the joints closest to the thumb nail. That was not really causing any issue on its own. It wasn't really painful and I would not have even known about that, but the bone spurs caused ganglion cysts to form on the joint and it was affecting the nailbed, causing the thumbnails to get flattened, rough and ridged. The left thumb cyst got huge (about the size of a pea under the skin) and the right one started growing. So the surgery was to grind off the bone spurs and surgically remove the cysts. (If you just drain them they will return.) They did the left one the first week of last month and the right one on Monday. It hurts like son-of-a-gun, and I have a high pain threshold and seldom complain or have trouble tolerating it. Even the one they did last month still hurts, and range of motion is still severely limited. I'll be glad when they stop hurting and I regain normal function. Hopefully sooner than later. Below is a picture (in the spoiler). Just got the bandage off the right one yesterday and haven't been able to wash off the iodine stains yet. (I can't scrub it or lather it up with soap yet because the incision is still easy to fracture.) Sutures come out Friday of next week on the one they fixed on Monday. Removing the stiches was the worst part. There are more sensitive nerves in the the thumb than I ever realized. Appearance-wise the left one is looking good, but it doesn't feel good yet.

Pretty cool to see these next to each other! I do not need a high performance GPU so the Legion 9i is too expensive for my needs but from what I have seen it would be my choice if I was in the market for a laptop with a 5080 or 5090.

Typical Microsoft. I'm sure they screwed up own services du own homebrewed updates for the month. Don't blame hardware upgrade. Can't put the blame on homebrewed AI, LOL Microsoft: AI, hackers not to blame for Outlook services outage Microsoft blamed its own network errors for the outage that took down its Outlook email and other consumer and enterprise services on Thursday. Struggling to print after the Windows update? Here's what's causing it Windows update KB5132061 is causing headaches with restart loops and document printing errors. Yup, My main point it was a stupid suggestion from the old man.

I tried Dell 770m and 880m. Same problem like SSJ92 with no audio.

I think a version of this was already in play as we were seeing Nvidia greatly reducing (IE, near zero) output of 5090 cards, they've cancelled the 5080 24GB and now the market for the next year at least looks like a 9070xt vs 5080 war but the 5080 at 2x the price in many match ups. We are also looking at 2028 for anything GPU wise new and exciting at this point. You will get maximum value out of your 9070xt and are primed for Zen6 with your setup. Tim Cook voluntarily stepped down as CEO at Apple and is still on the board. He is 66 and I am sure he isn't looking to drive another ship. He'll gladly sit on the board of Apple into retirement. I don't see him going to Nvidia in any capacity. That is exactly the problem. With all the channel stuffing and in the moment profit chasing and lack of long term perspective, it will come back to haunt Nvidia. They are making enemies hand over fist. Fear and hate drive transvestigations unfortunately. ------------------------------------------------------ Thermal Grizzly clarifies its WireView Pro II warranty for burned/damaged 5090s. Two year warranty Card must remain in spec If they can't repair it they'll replace it but same model is not guaranteed Very fair, and in theory, you could buy a NEW WireView Pro II every two years and extend the warranty on your card.... https://videocardz.com/newz/thermal-grizzly-clarifies-wireview-pro-ii-gpu-warranty-and-cable-requirements I run my card completely within spec except for the occassional test/bench run. ------------------------------------------------------------ AMD GPU supply constraints as drops of 20-50% are experienced in China: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-gaming-gpu-supply-reportedly-falls-20-to-50-in-china I'm not too sure what's going on here unless AMD is suddenly experiencing an uptick in their AI variants of GPUs..... ------------------------------------------------------------- I'll have to give this a try and see if all roads lead to Rome. The blessing in these times is the limitations on 99% of AM5 chips means CUDIMMS and even highly binned UDIMMs are a non factor. The curse is Z890 has given us a taste of what's to come with Nova and hopefully Zen6. All my kits are UDIMMs except that pair of 9200 Vengeance sticks which had no problems tapping out my Z890 Strix board in G2 at 9066. Ill have to wait for something beefier to see how high they can fly. I just feel like we are hitting peak saturation with the AI bubble and things will be coming down sooner than later and a lot of those "contracts" will either go into default status or be renegotiated. Ouch, sorry to hear about the thumbs @Mr. Fox. What happened? How is the SP99 performing still lidded compared to the other samples you have before they got the Henry VIII treatment?

Hello i have 144Hz Innolux Full Hd display :))

Having DC isnt a deal breaker, just something that doesnt limit the GPU options, LVDS "standard" is 980M max, GuitarG and the DC setup he had was RTX level options, so even if a 4K screen & associated cables unlocks that (or a IPS equivalent for 1080) would work. I plan to use my machine for AI workloads so not so much GPU for gaming, the issue is internal screen display output. Yep saw the manufactured date so assume its a new "clone" So i would assume a DC screen to have the interposer board attached to the back of it as the primary cable '401 seems to be quite long to route through the hinge assembly to arrive at back of screen. so i would assume the "secondary" cable off the interposer to be a short one similar to your 30-40 flat one shown up above? if we can get each cable Primary & secondary pinout known / mapped then its really only the interposer board which poses the blocker for upgrades. To add to the options, could the Dell equivalent cable and assembly work if yours uses Dells DC version? Just a thought.
