*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
jaybee83 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
welp FML, the WVP II alarms have returned while playing BMW, back with a vengeance! still current imbalance issues. so i swapped out the cable i had been using on my 4090 before and now on the 5090, installed the WVPII and the backup cable anew, and guess what?! THE BACKUP CABLE IS EVEN WORSE! installed it twice and pushed in so hard i thought id break through the case back panel lol. so now the plan is to go all out and order like 5 cables and bin them.....this connector is SO trash, unbelieveable. but yeah, the WVPII has already paid for itself! both cable connectors and gpu power socket are still in mint condition btw, so all is well. u guys got any recommendations other than seasonic stock cables and cablemod? -

The developer has a thread at overclock.net and you can download it from the opening post (or his web site). It is a great program. You can export your memory settings as an XML from HWiNFO64 and import it, click the analyze button, and it will tell you want timings are non-compliant with JEDEC. If you run the stability test if it can determine what setting is off it will identify it for you. Unless the price is crazy, I plan to buy it when the free beta access expires. [BETA] Memory Foundry Pro – RAM Stability Tester & Benchmark | Free Beta Access Now all we need is a clone of ZenTimings that works for Intel. The ASUS MemTweakIt and ASROCK Timing Configurator crapware tools are buggy junk. The ASUS tool is missing too much stuff and the AROCK tool misreports some values. -

That is damn good for a D2D driver IMHO. I'm going to have to dive back in for some comparison work. Where did you download Memory Foundry Pro? lol, you forgot the power of the 5090! 🤣 Especially now that you're running a real AIB card and not the 5090 FE adds that nice bit of "oomph" on top. I said it before and I'll say it again, if price was no object I would have stuck with the Astral. I liked EVERYTHING about it and I do mean EVERYTHING except the price. Aesthetics were great, cooling lights out for an air cooled card, good build quality, tons of QOL touches. Basically zero coil whine. I know it wasn't a deal breaker, but I know you have to be loving not having that screeching of the 5090 FE in pockets. I knew you would dive in head first and have a blast @Mr. Fox! Give it another month or so then you'll be able to see who rises to the top: AM5 or AL...... -
I hate Meta/Facepoot and only want the worst for them. However, I am not sure I agree with them being accountable for the irresponsible behavior, poor judgment, etc. of people that use the platform. I would blame the irresponsible parents and schools for not having control of their children and raising them the right way. Blaming Meta seems as misguided as blaming guns for crimes commited with guns, blaming the keyboard for misspelled words and silverware for the obesity problem some people have. I look at this as a state cash grab/robinhood mentality by states that are failing financially due to their idiotic, incompetent leadership. Three of the four states are run by overtly leftist imbeciles (CA, CO and NJ).

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
MODDER1 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Hello All, crazy stuff on this thread and tremendous work by everybody, insane amount of informations, so a big thank you first! Second, i'm very new (n00b) to modding, and i got a 8570w also (gift) since 2-3 years, and from what i read, we can do a lot of upgrade with this elitebook, and since day one, i really wanted to push this beast to a build with a lot of potential. For now, i just updated the stockage to a SSD kingston, replace the heatsink (the laptop was overheating everytime with slightiest use) by the a spare one, and still dealing with the original cpu and gpu (quadro k2000m). I will definitly upgrade the CPU with the Core i7-3940XM (pretty simple task) but then come the gpu part, and all the mods il will have to do. I saw that @Daedalus had the same desire regarding his 8570w, did you manage to finally install a 980m on it ?- 376 replies

Let them get what they deserve... Meta receives a $1.4 billion fine from 4 US states for creating social media addiction among young people Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is Mark Zuckerberg's company that went from focusing solely on a social network to venturing into the Metaverse by changing its name, only to find it was a failure and return to its roots.

Mr. Fox replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
So, did a little bit of digging for elusive information online and found a solution that works with my TeamGroup CUDIMM kit. Forcing the clock driver to work for manual tuning without using an XMP profile allows me to keep the NGU, Ring and D2D values the same and still boot at 9000+ (example in above post). It will not work with my G.SKILL 8400 kit (non-CUDIMM). With the CUDIMMs installed after POST there is a new menu under the Skew Control menu in memory configuration. CKD Configuration and manually set Single PLL mode forces the CUDIMM clock driver to take over and do the heavy lifting on manual tuning. If you have not booted at least once with a CUDIMM kit installed or have normal DIMM installed the CKD Configuration menu does not exist. -
I have the Alienware Area-51m with i7-9700k and RTX 2080. I'm trying to overclock my memory to 2666 or 2933mhz, not sure if it's possible with my ram though. The picture I sent is from a user from reddit. I did all your steps up to the point, where I can find the variables. I did extract my PE32 text in the form of a text document. But it does not show me the hex values like above picture. Is that important or not?!
-
This picture shows the hex values for the memory frequencies that are used when inserting them. The highest frequency you can get on the Area-51m is 3200 MHz. If you tell me exactly what you’re trying to do, I can help you out. Also let me know your laptop model, what RAM you’re using, and its stock frequency.

Definitely not a daily driver like this, but worth a few giggles... https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/memory_frequency/submissions/6044182 https://valid.x86.fr/qiv4lc https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/aida64_-_memory_read/submissions/6044183 -
Congrats on the free P775DM3-G! The FAT32 format is correct, but the USB usually needs to be made bootable (Rufus + FreeDOS is the easiest method) and the BIOS files must be placed exactly as the flashing guide specifies. Flashing the dsanke BIOS before installing the QTJ1 is normal, even if the current CPU isn’t officially supported. The CH341A programmer is also a good safety net in case the USB method fails.

Man, I’m shocked on 5090 power…. I popped in the 5080 Astral to check things on the 9950X3D2 and grab some rendering video of it, since it’s being sold. Playing Crimson desert 4K leverages the 5090 to a new level completely… CRIMSON DESERT 4K, Cinematic graphics, DLSS Quality, Ray Reconstruction ON. RTX 5080 Astral fully MAX stable OC: 83-84 fps W/ 2X Frame Gen. RTX 5090 Astral fully MAX stable OC: 80-81 fps W/ 0X Frame Gen. (Frame Gen is off) 💀💀💀 PS: GPU Tweak III has a cool GPU hour counter that I actually use. Probably the coolest thing in the app. -
Where did you find the variables in the PE32 text document? Is there a specific command I have to put in the "find" option? I looked for maximum memory frequency or something like that and it shows me the frequencies of up to 6200 or something like that but, it doesn't show me the hex values. Like in this picture that I found on reddit!

The AI boom is more overhyped than the 1990s dot-com bubble...
electrosoft replied to Papusan's topic in Tech News
For now...... AI will eventually replace many jobs including white collar smart sector employment. The only problem here is some companies tried to roll it out too early and are paying the price but the writing is on the wall. AI will only continue to get smarter and better. That is its (un)natural evolution assisted by mankind to usher in their own replacements on many levels. So many are mistaking apathy and disinterested consumerism in regards to AI producing a marketable product to justify its cost. Any and all AI tangible consumer grade products in the here and now that can return even a few pennies ROI is icing on the cake. The real product and end game is replacing expensive human workers as much as possible with AI automation. - Yesterday

I think this is going to be good enough for now. -
Apply these settings and enable XMP Profile 1. I’d also like you to disable Memory Warm Test (Warm Memory Training) so the system is less strict when training the RAM and boots more easily. If the system doesn’t display any image after the changes, you’ll need to disconnect the CMOS (BIOS) battery to reset the BIOS settings. 0A63 A0 0A64 0F 0A93 00 0A65 02
