I have my RTX 4000 ADA for sale... i can only send inside EU.. Time to move RTX4090 🙂 I get 3Dmark time spy score abaut 17400 points.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/358347913767

It looks like I'll be able to sell the KM-G machine and its many parts, accessories and everything else for a very good price. Since I've already switched to an RTX 5090 machine, it's also fully water-cooled, like the SM/KM-G was, so I don't need it anymore and it's at least 3x better (faster)

It is as easy as disconnecting one QDC, turning off one valve and plugging in two QDC fittings. I could probably break into both of those clubs had I let the chiller run longer and got the water a few degrees colder. I might do it later just to say I did. I know I would be proud of myself... for a few minutes, then it wouldn't be enough and I'd feel compelled to push harder. I am starting to feel like all of it is just an exercise in futility and have been asking myself "What's the point?" more than I have in the past. Not because I don't enjoy benching. I do enjoy it a lot, but because everything is both super expensive and in short supply it gives me pause. If I kill something having fun with it, replacing it might literally be near impossible due to availability and cost. And, that is a tough pill to swallow when it is all just for fun and there is literally no reward other than a momentary sense of personal accomplishment that nobody else cares about. I've been trying to re-ignite my old passion for gaming, but it's really difficult for me to get into it with most of the newer game titles. A lot of them are made for a different generational mindset and gaming styles that I personally do not care for. The titles that I would play and enjoy require me to do things I am unwilling to do (as a matter of principle) for the sake of online multiplayer anti-cheating crap.

Good on Jay getting that off his chest. The trolls are insufferable in the comments these days and I can see how it could have him second thinking himself and losing focus on the fact he loves tinkering with computers and cars and making videos about it. He really shouldn't have to justify himself or feel bad because the market is so bad. I watch plenty of videos of things I would never buy for many reasons and I still enjoy them greatly. I would say 90% of the videos I watch are of things I will never buy. GN has gone full scorched earth on the industry in the best way and I'm here for that too. I feel like Steve from GN is what @Papusan would be like if he hosted a channel sometimes 🤣 Yeah, I touched on this earlier from a videocardz posting. With contracted supply, they are going to prioritize higher margin items and push prices. Corporations doing as expected even if MSI is one of my favorites.... NO corporation is your "friend" They are there to sell their products and wares and make as much money as possible. It is your job to be a smart consumer and maximize your $$$ while obtaining what you want from said corporations. Nice! I was wondering if you used it at all or even had it set up to get back in action quickly. So close to breaking 50k on CB! Maybe see if you can push for the 18k club on the 5090?

And Microsoft have most of the OS market.... Not so sure a big market cap is what the consumers want or prefer. You can easily destroy your own brand name. Almost Monopoly is dangerous. But its what it is. Nvidia and Microsoft is exactly the same. Now we will see AMD try the same as well. We need alternatives. Not this greedy companies asking the corrupt governments for help to grow even further. I hope this backlash/rethinks will help. There is always a max limit what consumers will accept. Both in mind and money spent on trash. Report: Microsoft rethinks AI ambitions in Windows 11 after pushback And it seems Microsoft is finally listening. The stubborn forcing of Copilot down the throats of Windows users has (perhaps permanently) damaged the operating system’s reputation.

I'm writing this here because it affects the 2026 models more than my 2025 with Aerominum as exception - but there is a slight problem with that material - it's easy to chip. After my first more serious abuse - the laptop getting stuffed into a bag with several metal tools - there is some small chipping on the edges of the material. I'm not sure if this is actually better on the 2026 which looks like it has an aluminum border ring - or if that is just design. At least from the cosmetic side it will be much better on the 2026 - because where it chips the color becomes like aluminum shiny silver. The old magnesium casing certainly didn't get damaged that easily. Yes it's hard - but around the edges that is problematic. Can maybe solve by putting a ring of superglue around on the edge? Maybe LG noticed that chipping on those rare 2025 models in metal grey color and improved it for 2026 models? On the other hand the lower casing since years suffers like many other laptops from the very sharp edges. Especially on the front that is my main annoyance - it's really a pain to use the laptop while sitting on a couch with the laptop on your lap.. those edges dig into your forearms. LG really should round all those exposed edges a little. Otherwise to me the casing is perfect with Aerominum.

And yes I get your idea, since the motherboard outputs eDP signals (4 lanes of eDP) but it terminates in an unusable connector. The only solution is to DIY / get made a custom cable that connects to the eDP connector on the motherboard and then directly to the eDP display, bypassing the DC board that would create an unusable signal. 4 lanes of eDP is on part with modern laptops, you can connect 4K dislays or 1080p >120Hz displays as well. Worth looking into as the only custom part needed is a custom eDP cable, the LCD can be an off the shelf 40 pin eDP display.

Yes, dell m6600 and dell m6700 DC models have that DC conveter board that transforms the incoming eDP to 50 pin LVDS + 10 pin power cable used by the DC LCD. The HP zbook 17 g1, g2 and 15 g1 that have the DC screen option also use such converter boards. Keep in mind that for all the models stated the converter board looks something like this : So if you get the DC cables for your model you see that it connects to your board in a non standard eDP format = can't use that cable to connect to a standard eDP panel conenctor. Also the zbook 17 g1 and g2 all have this converted board as they all have LVDS displays and the motherboard outputs eDP. Not sure why HP chose this approach, probably because eDP lcds were rare in 2013-2014. so zbook 17 g1/g2 with 900p to 1080p screes have this board if you want a sure way to get your hands on one.

he want doin rendering, so all will be fine with SLI... for gaming will suck bcs of micro-stuttering...

Decided to fire up the chiller since today was over 95°F and my office was a bit too toasty. Got a couple of personal best scores. Steel Nomad was pulling 1650W from my 1500W UPS that was screaming about "overload" the entire time. To keep the WireView Pro II from shutting things down I had to max out the current limit in the software (25.5A per wire, 150A total). https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/5991752 | https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/154125943 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/5991744

the z170 has up to 20 pcie lanes . im not sure how many clevo implemented but clearly you got 16 going through the MXMs and im assuming no issues with nvme so probably has 20 lanes from the pch

I highly suspect the Pro Precision 9 won’t be released this year. Intel has only provided a refreshed Arrow Lake SKU (e.g., 290HX Plus), which lacks vPro support. This situation is similar to 2024, where the Precision 7x90 was absent due to the limited update from the 14900HX refresh.

Thanks, but that wasn't exactly my view. 🙂 It seems you've misunderstood the idea. She was to use only a modified cable between the motherboard and display, without a converter board at all. Re-read the latest replies from DevilAnGeL, the author of the "Ultimate 8770W yet?" thread. You even wrote there earlier. I've read that DELL workstations also use a similar converter board (with a newer microprocessor). I can't say how compatible it is with HP.

Msi nowadays... The company is hoping to profit on premium products and AI data centers https://www.techspot.com/news/111720-msi-plans-raise-prices-up-30-amid-memory.html

sounds like the same prob i had with my m6800 n GTX 880M n P5200 both not shown in win even bios, both r DELL ones n working fine in my 7720, but ordered a new mainboard n we will see it will solve the prob or not

I upgraded my nVidia graphics driver to version NVIDIA RTX Driver Release 595 R595 U2 (595.79) | Windows 11 https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265805/ And now I can adjust my screen's brighness just fine. And I can enjoy all the advanced features of my expensive nVidia card including desktop recording without the Intel card getting in the way.

Dear @Developer79 This is absolutely outstanding work.👍 good luck my friend and we hope you finish the project development soon .. greetings….

maybe will help: TG Putty Basic, TG Putty Advance and TG Putty Pro from Thermal Grizzly put to the test - from usable to absolute top class, even in your wallet | igor´sLAB u can see at page 3, it starts at around 120µm(= 0.12mm) at the "Thermal Resistance Rth in cm²K/W" diagram

It's crazy how instead of quietly opting not to pay the entitlement and indignation that someone would exercise their right to charge for their work. I surf more than post on most forums these days. I do keep plenty of popcorn on hand though for the routine flame wars that break out..... I'm on the fence with AI supporting technologies. If we can get FG latency down to non FG levels (IE, allow acknowledged user interrupts on generated frames), I'm ok with it but till then for many games it is a non starter. If DLSS advances sufficiently enough to be indistinguishable from traditional hardware rendered frames and the end user experience is identical, that's a win for performance because we've shifted a large portion of the rendering burden onto another another technology that provides an overall better gaming experience. My problem with DLSS5 is going to be it isn't trying to match the original rendered images. Instead, it is going all Instagram / Snapchat filters on everything and actually changes drastically what the original source looked like and that doesn't work for me. On the other hand, devs may embrace DLSS5 and design their original textures with DLSS5 in their workflow to determine their desired final product. I'm ok with this and I think this is what the future holds. Using AI to assist in your image/texture generation both source/static and realtime / ingame. I think many are up in arms right now because of the drastic "glow up" it is giving pre-existing games to the point it drastically changes the original.....like many do online applying insane filters to their pictures that are painfully obvious to everyone with a modicum of a critical eye. I know I've grown tired of family and friends routinely slapping filters on their social media pictures. I never use them. It's not real life and when you happen to run into those same family and friends out and about they look NOTHING like their online pictures. Until then? I'll stick with traditional rendering unless the performance is so low that it is counter enjoyable and then I would entertain it. Remember first gen RT was laughed at....it is now standard and AMD and Intel followed suit First gen DLSS was laughed at....it is now standard and AMD and Intel followed suit First gen FG was laughed at.....it is rapidly becoming a standard option and AMD and Intel following suit Nvidia owns 94% of the discrete GPU market.... they're clearly onto something or at least something consumers prefer. Not now, but I expect DLSS5 to be a major workflow tool for future dev work.... Is that a good or bad thing? Time will tell....

For those frustrated with the 2400MHz RAM limit on the Alienware Area-51M R1, I've found a way to bypass the restriction and overclock the memory up to 2933MHz. This guide will walk you through the process step by step. ‏# 🔧 Requirements ‏Before you begin, you should be familiar with BIOS modding tools. You’ll need: ‏✅ Intel CSME Tools (for BIOS backup – version 12) ‏✅ UEFI Tool ‏✅ IFR Extractor ‏✅ RU.EFI (for modifying BIOS variables) ‏✅ A bootable USB drive ‏💡 How to Boot with UEFI Shell: ‏* Rename ShellX64.efi to bootx64.efi. ‏* Place it in the /EFI/BOOT/ directory on a FAT32-formatted USB drive. ‏* (use rufus ) ‏# 🛠 Step-by-Step Guide ‏# 1️⃣ Extracting BIOS Data ‏1️⃣ Open the extracted BIOS file using UEFI Tool. ‏2️⃣ Press CTRL+F, go to the Text tab, and search for CFG LOCK. ‏3️⃣ Once found, scroll down, click the option, and extract the PE32 file (Extract As-Is). ‏# 2️⃣ Extracting BIOS Variables ‏1️⃣ Run IFR Extractor as an administrator. ‏2️⃣ Extract the PE32 file as a text document. ‏3️⃣ Note down the variables needed for modification. ‏# 3️⃣ Modifying BIOS with RU.EFI ‏1️⃣ Create a bootable USB drive with RU.EFI. ‏2️⃣ Enter BIOS and disable Secure Boot. Set the USB as the boot device. ‏3️⃣ Reboot the system and boot from USB. ‏4️⃣ After booting from the USB, you will automatically enter UEFI Shell. Here, you need to enter RU.EFI. ‏5️⃣ To access RU.EFI, type the following command and press Enter: ‏ FS0: ‏This will give you access to the USB drive. ‏6️⃣ Then, enter the following command to launch RU.EFI: ‏ RU.EFI ‏Once inside RU.EFI, the main menu will appear, and you can access the BIOS settings. ‏# Main Commands in RU.EFI: ‏* ESC: Exit the menu ‏* ALT + =: Search BIOS settings ‏* CTRL + Page Down: Navigate through pages of settings ‏* CTRL + W: Save changes ‏* ALT + Q: Exit RU.EFI and reboot the system ‏# 4️⃣ Overclocking RAM Speed in BIOS ‏1️⃣ Press CTRL + Page Down until you find variable 0A00. ‏2️⃣ Locate the 0A63/0A64 variables, which control RAM speed. ‏Modify the following values for 2933MHz: ‏ 0XA64 → 0B ‏ 0XA63 → 75 ‏✅ Standard setting for 2667MHz: ‏ 0XA64 → 0A ‏ 0XA63 → 6B ‏✅ Memory Profile: ‏ MEMORY PROFILE 0XA65 → 01 ‏✅ Additional Overclocking: ‏ 0X93F → 0B ‏💾 Save the settings: ‏✔ Press CTRL+W to save changes. ‏✔ Exit with ALT+Q (or Ctrl + Alt + Del). ‏✔ Re-enter BIOS and verify the changes. ‏# ⚠ Important Notes ‏✅ This method works on all BIOS versions: 1.0.1, 1.2, 1.19, 1.23, 1.24, 1.25, 1.26, 1.28, 1.3.2 ‏✅ Best BIOS version for stability: 1.3.2 ‏🔹 Fully compatible with 200W GPU vBIOS ‏🔹 No sudden FPS drops or thermal throttling ‏✅ BIOS Update Warning ‏* Disable automatic BIOS updates in BIOS settings if you plan to use an older BIOS version. ‏* If the BIOS updates automatically, your settings may reset, requiring you to redo the process. ‏💡 Startup Delay Note: ‏After applying these changes, your system may take 1 to 2 minutes to display anything upon restart—this is normal. ‏💡 Incompatibility Recovery: ‏* If the selected frequency is not compatible with your RAM and your system doesn’t display anything, don’t panic! ‏* Simply disconnect the battery and reset the BIOS to restore the default settings. ‏⚠ Caution: ‏❌ Do NOT modify other settings in RU.EFI unless you know what you’re doing. ‏✅ I’m simply sharing my experience, and I hope this helps! ‏# 🎯 Final Thoughts ‏This method unlocks the full potential of RAM on the Alienware Area-51M R1, breaking Dell’s artificial 2400MHz limit. If you need help, feel free to ask! 💬 ‎‏. This is entirely at your own risk, and I take no responsibility for any issues that may arise. It is highly recommended that you back up your BIOS settings before making any changes and follow the steps carefully

New Precision systems announced. We have "Pro Precision 5" and "Pro Precision 7", each with a 14" and 16" version. I am guessing that the flagship workstation will be "Pro Precision 9" which is not announced yet. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-unveils-Dell-Pro-Precision-5-Series-14-and-16-with-Intel-Panther-Lake-and-LPCAMM-memory.1251264.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Super-powerful-Dell-Pro-Precision-7-14-and-Pro-Precision-7-16-workstation-laptops-are-now-official.1251730.0.html

Hello here are the files I extracted from the chips, I needed to disassemble everything. EC (MX25L512E, U44): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1si8vA-aMM6DynJNbjdEk2OcA8I06v3aE/view?usp=drivesdk BIOS (F25L16PA, U45): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CPea1hd4nSIi4TAWSp7sILjDmHuhZhEN/view There's also a U48 chip, 512kbit too but I can't seem to read it... I would pay someone who succeeded into removing the whitelist or removing/updating something that's limiting the Kepler 700M/800M and 900M GPUs in the master slot. Edit: I removed the GOP/UEFI image from the GTX 970M 6GB VBIOS, it was successful because GPU-Z reports it as a non-UEFI Vbios (tested in slave slot). However in the master slot, it doesn't work. Laptop doesn't post and stays on. No backlight, just stays on with idle fans. I sense some fan control on the CPU side so that's strange. First the computer powers on, waiting 2-3s then does one blink for the HDD status and that's it, no more blinking (should be at least 5-6 blinks then posting screen). Now the computer stays on, fans at idle. I tried to force boot with HDMI only but no luck. Even someone got the 980M to boot with the X8100 (mobile socket, 2009-2010) what; https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/clevo-x8100-mit-gtx-980m-keine-hdmi-bildausgabe.1801599/
