Backlight pins are universal. HP cards, standard cards, Clevo cards, all have it at the same pins!

Hello, You didn't answer to my question Is an 9900K at 52x all core at 1.37V fixed Vcore and AVX2 -2 is a golden sample or not? Thanks.

The display isnt connected to the egpu, is that simple 🙂

The vapor chamber heatsink with the adapters was great for cooling but rtx 3080 with new nvidia drivers at 150w don’t need it … In addition, whenever I need to access the CPU to replace the thermal paste, change the thermal pads, or replace the CPU itself, I have to remove the vapor chamber heatsink first. This has become very inconvenient, time-consuming, and completely unnecessary.

Could you please insert a photo for thermals from GPUZ ?

I don't suppose anyone has tested this with AMD cards yet? I believe I've run into the same issue with a Radeon E8950 in a Precision M6800. The eDP screen displays the desktop, but the backlight never illuminates. An unfortunate final hurdle after the last two months of research and fabrication to get this far with it. I suppose it makes sense because this particular E8950 was meant for servers where it would never need to activate a backlight. Its datasheet has so far been unobtanium, but I would assume the pins are electrically identical since the cards all have to adhere to the MXM pinout.

My friend, all of this depends on the silicon lottery, regardless of the CPU model. Low voltage at high frequencies is purely a matter of silicon lottery, no matter what.

Nothing that would be quick, but I had a sneaking suspicion of a couple of things. I dusted my radiator nearby, and I also used an aftermarket pci bracket that came included with the alphacool waterblock (alphacore iirc). Luckily I didnt make the loop super lean in tubing since I know how I am. Anyways with the GPU slipping between Gen 1.1 and 2.0 (pointing to a signaling issue), the aftermarket bracket and possible contamination to dust, I went after the easiest solution. Removed the card while retaining the loop. Removed the PCI bracket, lightly dusted the pcie lane and 70% alcohol on the pcie traces of the GPU and installed without the bracket. Video is back! Was confused initially as one screen came back but not the other, turned out that cable fell out (woops!) Lets just ignore that lol. I absolutely blame ALL OF YOU for stepping up my cooling. I still like big air coolers but stepping back into water cooling has been an experience that I can enjoy and measure. Its more efficient displacement but more importantly takes up significantly less space. @Mr. Fox I am fairly confident that some dust must have been on the 9070 XT been keeping an eye on it this evening and its been sitting at Gen 4 (set manually in bios as part of diagnosing). As always everything I have purchased from you over the years has been well shipped, and exactly as advertised. Its really nice to be able to buy something set it aside for when you are ready, execute the plan and just know everything will be as expected. Even Hiew still sings your praises, he immediately sold his 5800X3D set up and enjoyed building his gift with the previous bundle. I never knew compiling shaders could move so quickly! @tps3443 just let me know if you want Brother Fox's profile, thus far its been rock solid for me on my setup. I can probably have it tomorrow night if you want it. I mentioned to Fox in our messages that I am pretty sure this platform I am running now is about as good as it can get if you are running 8-pin power. When ever the 7900 XTX @ 500w cant handle 120 FPS in games ill just set 60 and couple that with lossless scaling with the 9070 XT. Already have 100+ hours of Monster Hunter: Worlds at 4k120hz using that method. With GPU prices being such as they are, I'll ride this combo for as long as I can.

He is using a profile I tuned for the 9950X3D2 and I bet he would be happy to export the CMO file, zip it and upload it here if you wanted to tinker with it to see if it works well for yours.

Today I try the heatsink it's work very good. I don't have time for detailing test.

That's excellent @Reciever got everything up and running! And from the looks of it, he’s got it running really great too! You know, I actually almost kept my first one that was stuck at 2167fclk, and on the very last day to return, I had a change of heart lol (Glad I did!). But I’m playing with it. But the SP#’s are looking good on this one! The 1st CCD is good, but the 2nd CCD is very strong looking. I set a 1.180v Vsoc voltage and loaded right in Windows at 2,200fclk. No wheas! I will do some testing to ensure all is well with it. My last 9950X3D2 would not load 2200fclk no matter what you did! I tried literally everything. Now time for some memory testing, but at this point I’m liking it much better than that very first one. EDIT::: 2,200 FCLK + 6400c30 Gear 1:1 works perfectly fine so far.

We are just about to see $5,000 becoming a regular price for RTX 5090. What with a Asus TUF at $5099 in the US ? That would be closer to $6373.75 USD incl tax here home. Luckily you get the TUF for cheap $4500 MSRP here home, if that will make you feel better🙄 And no problem get 5090's here home. All type SKUs and brands. Flood of them for sale. Lots in stock doesn't make a dent. They price the cards exactly as they prefer in the market. MSRP is a lie. And a TUF 5080 costs $1750 at MSRP. You can buy +50 of them right away if you want from the same store. This is actually the new MSRP and not inflated prices due to shortages. HARDWARE Graphics Card Prices Are Rising Fast (Again), and GeForce Is Taking the Biggest Hit Same or similar for GPUs? Most likely. “Everyone is lying about supply”: the shortage that drove up memory prices is called into question; is a huge bubble about to burst?

Good news. Yes, SP118 is good for 9950X3D2. That is what mine was that I sold to @Reciever and the 9950X that I sold to @damric at oc.net was as well. SP118 is average or a 9950X (non-3D). My 4585PX is SP119, which is better than average for 9950X3D/4585PX (which are typically something like 115.). All of them will boot 8400 2:1 and run 2200 FCLK and run 8000 2:1 100% stable with 2200 FCLK very easily.

So far so good. I received my X870 Strix E-E today from UPS. Very thankful this board has Debug LED! And easy access CMOS battery. 😅 BestBuy sent me “Buy one Get One Free”9950X3D2’s. So I popped one in, and it booted right up with 2200 FCLK, and 6400c30 1:1. Already better results than my 1st 9950X3D2 from a few months ago. I plan to thoroughly test this one and become well acquainted before I drop in the other one for testing. Theres nothing like swapping chips and feeling that crappiness, or feeling the greatness from one to the next. But it takes some really getting to know one chip, or that feeling never occurs with the 2nd. PS: This chip is a SP118, not really sure if that’s good or not. But I’m not too overly worried about core silicon clock-ability. Mainly want good FCLK and good IMC! These 9950X3D2’s just rip bone stock anyways. I will report back with anymore further findings and what the 2nd 9950X3D2 is.

Nice. I just wait for the bubble to burst. Happy days forwards. For the rich.I know what higher electricity prices lead to. More poverty for the many and a little better economy for a very few. Pensioners/retired for example. They will have to pay more and get less. Is less more?🙄 Trump says communities that reject data centers 'want to end up being backwards and poor'

Hello, I need to test that out, I still haven't figured out what inside the vbios is responsible for the boost to 1911Mhz vs 1708Mhz

I found a 9900K from Gerd Syma on kleinanzeigen, he got 5.2Ghz with 1.37V He doesn't want to tell me his CPU-z scores nor his voltages at 5GHz and 5.1GHz. We can't be sure the 1.37V at 5.2GHz is real or not. No screenshots, no benchmark links. His CPU has the copper IHS plate. I bought from him and he refunded because I asked too many logical and common sense questions. Some people have low IQ and 0 common sense. It's like buying an used car without asking questions! Who would do such things? Finding a sketchy seller, makes me angry. It's impossible to find a 9900K or a 9900KS binned. My laptop is a P775TM1, of course I need the best efficiency for my custom watercooling 2 in 1 heatsink compatible with RTX 40XX. Can somebody help me find a good chip please... I pay good amount.

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?

Hello! I hope your all well! I have purchased my friends X170KM with a 10900K and 3080 16GB. It suffered random freezes, whether it be in idle or full load which then resulted in the laptop not booting up after restart (it would power up with LEDs and fans but no screen) and then it would turn its self off after a short amount of time. After lots and lots of messing, i have found one of the RAM slots to be the issue and the laptop runs fine with RAM in the other slot in a single configuration. Has anyone else had this issue? And is there a fix? Or is this just likely a permanent. Thanks for your time

@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
