Nice video, brother. I know the guy you mentioned near the end of the video, LOL.

I put up a video comparing ram air cooling via 4.5 different methods. Stock sticks = 76c. Asus 60mm fan = ~49c Noctua top shelf performance quiet 60mm fan on Asus bracket = ~49c Thermalright ram cooler = ~42c I've mastered the art of posting videos when I'm battling the flu or covid, lol. Sometimes I don't realize how under the weather I am till I watch something back and can hear it in my voice and a smidge of labored breathing. 🤣

Does an external display work after installing a driver?

I got a refund on Steam for the game and will just use the free demo for the benchmark. It was only $9.49 but the game wasn't my cup of tea.

Spot on bro. Hope all is well with you 🙂 PCs, consoles and hardware is clearly all too cheap in the US and nvidia finally pleased Microsoft. NVIDIA Game Ready Drivers drop Windows 10 support in November The first regular NVIDIA Game Ready Driver without Windows 10 support is scheduled for November 2026. This means users who remain on Windows 10 can continue using the October driver, but they will no longer receive subsequent Game Ready optimizations and regular driver updates. Trump's new round of tariffs could hit semiconductors, laptops, gaming consoles and data center servers

I'm messing around with getting my rtx 4080 mxm module put into my clevo P775TM1-G but I can't get the display to work properly. I've tried just about everything. I have the backlight mod from supermg, but when I try to install the driver I'm met with a rainbow line screen and nothing else. The display works fine without a driver, and trying to do the edid manipulation doesn't fix the problem either. Any information would be appreciated. I got the gpu from a Morefine g1. The laptop has the 9900k and the 4k 60hz gsync display.

Whew when the nvidia approved (he was using the 5090FE OEM version from his 5090FE) tentacle goes boom...... Tentacle at fault? PSU side at fault? The fact three of them melted down makes me think it was a cascade failure of some sort but damn.... My response is always, "please show me where you can get this for even close to this price and we can talk," Somehow their mindset is stuck 12-18 months in the past. I can respect not wanting to pay the new prices and opting to either wait for the market to correct after the eventual bust or just resigning from the PC enthusiast scene. What I can't respect is catching an attitude or some sense of entitlement to previous pricing or even less because you feel a certain way and belittle sellers. One of my biggest pet peeves is still when someone feels the need to poo poo over seller's threads on forums because they don't like the pricing, the person or sometimes both (exhibit A: OCN FS forums). ------------------------------------------------------- Remove case specific games that love X3D and the 270k is a beast...an absolute beast when properly tuned. 14900KS which had been tuned every which way beat the 270k but once I dialed it in memory and 5.6 just like that it was neck and neck with the 14900KS in WoW in CPU limited scenarios. Seriously, expecting some major magick from Intel with Nova and bLLC to level the playing field in those case specific games that love that cache.

Hello. Does anybody have a binned 9900KS that can do 5.1GHz all core at 1.29-1.3V or 5.2GHz all core at 1.3V? I can pay 430USD for one thru PayPal as services. Let me know, thanks.

Using CPU-bound settings, the 270K Plus holds its own against the 9950X3D2 in this benchmark. This is a run by Zero989 at oc.net and a run with my 5080 system using the same settings against his X3D build. I actually played the game last night for about an hour and it was extremely boring. (I have never cared for this genre, so that comes as no real surprise.) I should have just stuck with the free demo. It was a waste of money for me, but it was super cheap so no great loss. What you see in the benchmark is the closest you will get to experiencing something mildly stimulating when playing the game. 9950X3D2 270K Plus

Here is something interesting. I normally use a hardware KVM to switch between computers, but using two at once with a KVM is not a solution to use both systems simultaneously. You are merely switching from one to the other. I decided to give Synergy 3 a go and it works flawlessly for using a single keyboard and mouse on two computers connected to separate monitors. It functions indistinguishable from using a single computer with two monitors. Really useful. Similar to the old "Mouse without Borders" utility, but better and a lot more features. https://symless.com/synergy/download

Seem to have hit an error trying this on an HP z620. Can't write the KEK and DBX and met with an error: Set-SecureBootUefi : Incorrect authentication data: 0xC0000022 At line:1 char:1 + Set-SecureBootUefi -AppendWrite -Name KEK -ContentFilePath C:\TEMP\co ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (Microsoft.Secur...BootUefiCommand:SetSecureBootUefiCommand) [Set-Secu reBootUEFI], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SetFWVarFailed,Microsoft.SecureBoot.Commands.SetSecureBootUefiCommand Any idea? Thanks!!!

Anyone that wants to try The Riftbreaker benchmark, the game demo is free (or cheap to buy) on Steam and you get the benchmark either way. It seems pretty demanding, like Ashes of the Singularity benchmark. This pulled 535W on the 5080 and about 650W on the 5090. 5080 #1 5090 5080 #2 This is the 5080 in the B850MPOWER running the 4585PX. This is not 5K like the others. I use CPU Set Setter to force selective utilization of the 3D V-Cache CCD based on the .EXE file that has been executed rather than relying on what AMD's sketchy 3D cache drivers think.

News. Same issue is happening on a working X170KM board!? GPU die is cold. Laptop can boot without display. RAM and CPU OK. This is definitely a power related (E1 to E4 pins) issue or something in the RSVD pins that's triggering the GPU to work. I need to find the schematics for the X170 but where... I need to compare the P570WM3 to the X170 and the P775 to the X170 and see the real differences. I don't know what Clevo did. I don't think it's a BIOS issue. Correct me if I'm wrong

I wrote out how I did INF mods before. (Doing it through nvcleanstall wasn't a thing back then.) https://www.nbrchive.net/forum.notebookreview.com/threads/precision-7530-precision-7730-owners-thread.820539/page-253.html#post-10937563 I never ran into code 43, so not sure what to say if that doesn't work.

@Aaron44126 You offered a lot already master thanks a lot all of you.. But I wonder if you can help me with the drivers side please I've flashed vbios using CH341a, it went smoothly booting into windows, the GPU shows under the ID: 1C20 But whatever I try with drivers like modifying inf manually or using the nvcleaninstall I still end up with code 43.. Any tips

I figured out a better mounting location for the wired WireView Pro 2 than using the radiator fan screws. I did not like it where it was. I had not noticed that the distro block had holes that went all the way through where the screws attach the distro block to the chassis. I used those holes with screws to attach it to the distro block much lower than before. The fan mounting bracket included with it aligns perfectly with the holes in the distro block. Now it doesn't have the ugly long "snake" for the 12VHPWR cable. This is aesthetically more acceptable.

Unfortunately, most local yokels buying computers and computer parts are monkeys that have the Facepoot Marketplace mindset. Most of them have totally lost touch with reality. Those selling think their legacy garbage is worth a fortune and those trying to purchase current hardware are idiots that expect to pay legacy hardware prices for cutting edge. When I list anything there I get bombarded with low-ball offers from morons. They say "that's too much" and I say "if you can find it cheaper, buy it... if you want what I'm selling the price is already below average and not negotiable."

if this is anything like the elitebook 8570W misadventure i had when trying to make a GTX 965M work, you have to choose the correct VBios otherwise the machine wont POST. It will fire up but no display output to screen. what Vbios does your Fermi have on it. You might be seeing a misalignment of DP_A, B C etc not being assigned to the display. Try the TechPowerup forum for other versions of Vbios. I know on my machine it only ever came with 3 card options from factory, despite what HP techs said no Whitelist "apparently" existed. Ive seen INF mods needed for some cards too

Thanks brother. It is true PC hardware is an absolute mess right now, but that is why I went with the slightly older stuff. The problem is that the average PC buyer still thinks we are back in last 2024/early 2025. They still have that 60 to 70% off mentality. They argue that the PC isn't worth 1200 to 1300, even though the PCs I have built outclass anything selling new in that price range. The 4070 Ti is still going for 500 to 600 used and I won't even get into SSD/RAM pricing. However, I will always stand my ground. We shall see how it goes. I am happy to see you're enjoying your return to Intel. Next gen should be very interesting and I think Intel will give AMD a run for its money, as long as Intel keeps pricing reasonable. But only time will tell.

This project is very interesting & I'm looking at possibly doing this to my Dell Precision 7720 as I've been dealing with the issues dell has created. Mine has a Xeon E3-1545M V6 processor with Iris Pro P580 integrated graphics & a Quadro P4000 GPU. I am happy with this laptop & impressed with its performance, but there are some problems. In comparison to the P4000 running at about 60C when playing games, I've put PTM7950 on the CPU & its wanting to get close to 80C and the highest I've seen it get to being 85C. So being able to undervolt & overclock the CPU sounds awesome with the addition of ram overclocking; however, looking into information for how to apply these software & firmware mods to mine is kind of convoluted in comparison to flashing a bios or updating a bios. So I wanted to ask something before I dive into the rabbit hole of improving my laptops performance. I do hope you feel satisfied about the performance of the system soon. Even though I do have the tools to reflash the bios my laptop if I screw up the process (CH341A BIOS programmer), I'd rather save my laptop from dell's poor decision making then saving it from a bricked bios I created. I'd appreciate it tremendously as I love this laptop & I want it to run its best for as long as possible.

This is the state of my setup right now. I'm excited to test the 6800c34 ram for sure!

Nice to hear from you, brother. And, glad to know you are doing well. I think PC building is a huge mess overall. Prices for anything used by AI are totally unreasonable to the point of absurdity. I think it is hurting all consumers, SI companies and manufacturers of other component products (cooling, case and PSU) that are selling a lot less merchandise now due to the ridiculous costs of the key components that are keeping consumers from building or buying new systems. I was running all AMD but just went back to Intel with two Z890 Apex and 270K Plus builds. I moved the 4585PX and B850MPOWER and 5080 Prime into a SFF living room build for my wife. I sold the X870E Apex and 9950X3D2 to Brother @Reciever for his next beastly build. It's Brother @Talon fault that I moved back to Intel. It feels like I am back home again.
