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?

@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

Why not just close down the trash? Meta’s $18 billion payout isn’t enough to save our kids

The Superslim was replaced by a 14" LG as explained here.

call me intrigued! hows it looking with a setup where two computers are connected to one monitor? does is support that, as well? (call me ignorant in this regard, no idea about KVMs)

I successfully shunt modded an rtx 2070 to 153w by mounting 4x r015 resistors, and I used 1206 resistors sideways just to prove a point🤣 It resulted in 1920mhz constant and 2010-2050mhz peak in most games Gained 10 to 30fps in games Playing cyberpunk maxed out rt psycho at 35fps I payed 20usd for a Smd solder pro at a videogame repair store to do it, the Chad lady did it flawlessly lol The gpu can easily sustain +160mhz in cyberpunk and even 170(it crashes after 1 hour or 30min...or15) but 160 is stable and 155 is stable for fire strike

Link was removed. Ps2 should be feasible on most modern laptops with a dgpu, especially at native resolution. From time to time I dabble back in the emulation space. I think the last title I played was final fantasy dirge of cerberus if memory serves.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome back! This is more of a spiritual successor of sorts. I believe a couple other members tried to make their own version but I haven't heard of their still running.

Welcome to the forums! I believe the most popular option was the gtx 1070 if memory serves. I used the msi variant for the R1 when I had it. Never got 200w working for it though. Also removed the disc tray and had some fun with a USB hub for a couple more drives.

Hi! Can you tell me how to make a bypass mod for an XMG Neo 16 E24 4090? Do you have any photos of the board?

Yes the DIMM_2 going through chipset shouldnt affect anything since its chipset. Was more of a hail mary at this point lol I did use it with the standard heatsink (Pulse) and it was fine there on the AM4 Dark Hero X570 albeit overclocking on it was not feasible on Afterburner. I may take off the PCI bracket altogether and see if that changes how well it behaves in relation to sitting in the pcie lane proper. The motherboard heatsink is a bit elevated compared to what I am used to and the bracket is aftermarket (alphacool). When Gaming the SPDIF connector screams white noise on occasion, I have USB C to SPDIF adapter to get around that. The surreal part of all this is running this setup and the cpu block is cold to the touch. 255w at load, 65c reported for the day. RAM last I checked was 20c at idle and 25c at load

Awesome setup brother. I'm super happy for you and glad the beast ended up with a good home. That's really strange about the 9070 XT. Have you tested it in another system to see if the behavior changes? I am wondering if maybe something with adding the waterblock went wrong. The DIMM.2 is Gen 4 and I believe it runs from one of the two chipsets, not the CPU. If you check the manual, I think there are some toggle switches on the motherboard to do something with the PCIe slots. I don't remember and never used those features, but it might be worth investigating. It might be something as simple as changing a toggle switch to a different position.
