I recently acquired a 2024 Asus G14 as my 2020 G14 has been folding itself in half since it got crushed in my accident (it's gotten really bad now). I know I've said I hate Asus with all of my guts, but this particular laptop popped up for super, super cheap all because the glass over the screen has a hardly noticeable hairline crack in it... and I just like the form factor of the G14 from a mobile x86 device standpoint :handsup:. Yet again, I can safely say I've never purchased a brand new laptop lol. I'll be making a write up on it shortly because it's a strange device and the way mobile processors and GPUs work now is very confusing from a tuning standpoint. There are too many moving targets now, and I don't know how to hit all of them yet, but I know given enough time and insight that I'll be able to hit all of them. The learning process has been quite fun. The bloat was horrific though. Luckily it is saved by G-Helper, which is also another factor of why I wasn't entirely opposed to getting another Asus device. Getting rid of the cancer is tough, but once you eliminate it, you never have to look back with G-Helper. I was able to break some HWbot records that I saw over there, so here soon I'll go and steal the (hopefully) entire leaderboard for the 8945hs. I also plan on 3D-printing a case for the 2020 G14 to turn it into a portable desktop for a family member. Once I do that, I plan on stealing the leaderboard for the 4800hs. Luckily there's a lot of crazy software out there to torture the mobile Zen 2 CPUs. Rant:

I will keep searching eBay from now on!

Sadly my warranty expired last August, so I'll have to buy it out of warranty—need to see if Dell UK (yes, I moved to the UK...) have a number I can call. The notebook as a whole is a tank, and I fully expect it to last until 2030, or at least when this Middle-East/AI component supply crunch is resolved and prices become a bit less mental so I can build my nice home workstation/gaming rig, relegate this laptop to a family member, and buy a Surface Laptop for on-the-go use.

A lot of them are now, to the point of becoming ridiculous, but that does not mean the information is not accurate. There have been other channels talking about garbage that is getting added to meat and artifical lab "grown" meat (and other foods). It is very annoying how much YouTube content is AI now. I have even seen videos produced by AI that use the voice and likeness of YouTube content creators that are real people, and quoting material from content they created, and I am fairly certain it is being done without their permission.

I'm still using the 7560 at work. I also started to have rattling fans at certain RPMs. Fortunately, I was just before the three-year warranty cutoff when it started so I just had them ship a new heatsink out. That did take care of it.

Of course. Why wouldn't it work?

Hi, my vBios is already was flashed and working, but after of reinstaling windows drivers won't work because windows don't see tasla m6 anymore, but in gpu-z shows all information, drivers from nvidia page is not starting to install, because don't see tesla in the windows. Did i need to reflash vbios again? my device is p170em

330W power adapter works on m6800?

Now this one is funny

It's been a while since I've posted... My fans on my 7560 are rattling badly. I clean them semi-regularly (~3-4 months), and replace the paste, but this rattle is very new. Oddly enough, it goes away when the fan RPM goes up. I may need a new heatsink assembly.

Recently applied latest updates to my ltsc machines. All well as always. Precision 5540 & HP desktop running 10 ltsc 2019 for 5 years now without a hitch. Thinkpad P14s with iot 2021 installed in january doing fine.

You know this entire video is AI generated right and "Doctor Becker" is not real?

I haven't played in co-op with other people, only using bots as my team mates. But, it is a lot of fun.

This looks pretty sick, I especially like that it’s coop.

I recently picked up the new version of Painkiller on a Steam sale. I have several of the original Painkiller titles and loved playing them. The new one is no exception. A bit flashier and better graphics, but just as fun. Your sole objective is to kill endless hordes of demons without getting killed in the process. Very similar to Doom but less keyboard effort needed than Doom.

got the new mainboard but think not be able to install before monday...

yeah i know, was a daily seach on ebay to be the first... still dont know will keep both(7720 n 6800) or sel the 6800 when finished it. 🤪 but need to calculate what i paid for all those stuff... the 6800 itself was a bargain with only 100 bucks, but all those stuff i putted in its around 600 bucks, dont know will get those for it.

The new ASUS BIOS is working well on the Apex. My system did not care for AGESA 1.3.0.0 or 1.3.0.0a but 1.3.0.1 seems good. They added that new "Crosshair Tweak" option in the memory settings. I am using mode 2 (Normal) because I don't give a flying hoot about mitigating the extremely remote possibility of being inconvenienced by a row hammer exploit. There is also a newer ZenTimings beta in the Discord available for download.

To be completely honest that is a tough one. I also tested out the Micro Center Raider 18 with 285HX, 5090m and 1600p 240hz. While it does have the advanced bios available I ran into issues with its audio getting distorted under combined loads, very high temperatures (over 110C on the stock system memory) and eventual crashes under load that needed an EC reset to recover. Maybe just a bad sample? Maybe single rank memory would run cooler or just something about the Micron 32GB modules? Although I found many others had similar issues on MSI's Global Forums with 2025 Intel Vector/Raider/Titan models... Today's project has been turning the media center back into a gaming machine for use on our 4k living room TV for my wife. We picked up one of those Midnight edition 5070 GPU's at Micro Center which seems to perform fine. With the 285K in 200S boost mode with the 48GB memory at 8000 CL40 WoW we are seeing 100fps running around Silvermoon without RT enabled. I need to find a nicer looking ATX case that has space for 3x3.5 inch HDDs and preferably a single 5.25 inch Bluray drive. The Fractal Design Define R7 XL is far too big for the space we have available under the TV.

No you are lucky for having a potential ZRT RTX 4090 VBIOS. For M6800 I think 135W TDP should be the max for dGPU. 150W works but needs beefy PSU.

Windoze is a broken surveillance tool and a raging dumpster fire of an OS. Literally a digital dung heap. I do not have a problem with drivers. If functionality requires any Windoze Service(s) to be running that consumes memory and CPU cycles for the feature to work, then it is a software gimmick and not a hardware feature. Now, It may be a necessary evil and unavoidable fix for the raging Micro$lop dumpster fire, but it is still not a hardware feature if it depends on Windoze services to be running. If it is a hardware feature it will work in a UEFI shell or in a Linux environment because it is baked into the CPU or GPU and functions at the firmware level and there is no way for it "not to work" if it is in the wrong OS environment. If it is a hardware feature, there is either no way to turn it on or off, or you do it in the BIOS, not Windoze, and it will not care if you are running an old version of Windows 10 or 11 that doesn't have certain updates installed.

You lucky man. They are extremely rare these days.

HI! I'm trying to figure out what settings to change to undervolt the i7-6700K using the Premamod Bios. I was able to set a -125 offset for both the CPU and Uncore in the BIOS, based on some basic googling suggestions, and confirmed the offset with HWinfo on reboot, but I think I missed some settings to top off the CPU performance, because when I run Cinebench, the cores all top out at around 2,500 MHz instead of 4,000 MHz. I'm guessing I have to counter the offset with a boost in some other setting? Here's my current settings in the in the Overclocking Performance Menu: The only two settings I changed myself so far were the CPU Core Voltage offsett and the Uncore Voltage offset, both set to -125. Everything else was left as-is in the BIOS. Overclocking Feature: Enabled IMON Scaling: Disabled Vboost Enable: Disabled RSR: Enabled >Processor Core Max OC Ratio: 0 Core Voltage Mode: Adaptive Core Voltage Override: 0 Core Extra Turbo Voltage: Core Voltage Offset: 125 (Negative) Core PLL Voltage Offset: 0 >Ring Ring Max OC Ratio: 0 Ring Min OC Ratio: 0 Rin Voltage Mode: Adaptive Ring Extra Turbo Voltage: 0 Ring Voltage Offset: 0 (+/-) >Uncore Uncore Voltage Offset: 125 (negative) Hyperthreading, Active Cores, Virtualization, AES, Boost Mode Turbo, SpeedStep, C-states all enabled Using four 8GB DDR4 RAMM DIMMs, all running at 2400 MHz I basically just want to be able to boost to 4.00Ghz with an undervolt to lower my temps. I was able to do it in XTU on an older locked P870DM-G I once had, but I don't recall the settings I had for that. It was like 6 years ago 😞 Anyone familiar with this that can help me here? Thanks!

Remember when they told us that 13th and 12th gen wouldn't work with APO? That is my biggest issue with Intel. They did say IBT has specific silicon "hooks" but I doubt. They said they're looking into bringing it in some fashion to ARL 1. Tells me they're waiting to see how initial sales look before they make that decision.
