  1. Today
  2. @tps3443 let me know he is not able to obtain these items, so if anyone here is interested in grabbing it for $1600 let me know. If not I may list in the marketplace at oc.net for probably $1800. 9950X3D (delidded) IceMan Bare Die Block (or Thermal Grizzly Performance IHS - buyer choice) X870E Apex G.SKILL Trident Neo 6000 C26 32GB (2x16) 1.450V F5-8400J4052G24G Supercool Computer Direct Touch Memory Cooler kit
  3. Where many of the 5090 goes. To China. Do Jensen care? Nope. He have never cared about rules/ restrictions or where his products goes. Overpriced 5090s due shortage keep Nvidia's partners happy. Asus have raised their prices for the US Store... 5090 TUF just $4400 before any tax. And the Astral 5090 LC OC cost now $5029,99 in their Store or +$3000 above MSRP for the 5090 FE. This looking good. Nice. China sells servers with 288 water-cooled RTX 5090s, air conditioning, and their own power generator. The RTX 5090 is considered the most powerful GeForce graphics card for gaming, being around 30% faster than the previous generation RTX 4090. For some years now, China has faced limitations and restrictions imposed by the United States, preventing it from purchasing advanced AI hardware and graphics cards. For example, NVIDIA had to create cut-down versions of the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090, known as the RTX 4090D/5090D , the latter with a V2 version that represented yet another limitation. It's curious how, despite these restrictions, China continues to obtain these types of graphics cards by using third-party countries and exploiting this "gray area" of the market. Now we're seeing another use for these graphics cards: in China, they're selling servers inside shipping containers packed with RTX 5090 graphics cards.
  4. If I can get my hands on an RTX 5080, I promise I’ll post an overall Time Spy score of over 25K 26k maybe even.
  5. Your system still isn’t fully optimized. Why did your Time Spy Graphics Score drop from 29K to 25K? That’s roughly a 20% performance loss. Now that you’ve fixed the CPU performance and achieved a 10,300 CPU score—about a 30% improvement—why has the GPU performance dropped by 20%? I’m really looking forward to seeing you post a Time Spy score above 23K overall, which should be easily achievable with your hardware.
  6. Im in a similar boat atm trying to get my EC to 1.05.07 to satisfy dsankes notes for the single MXM config 2020 TM-1 BIOS on p870tm-1. Right now my KBC/EC in dsanke BIOS shows 1.07.0C and the mobo needs 2 MXM gpus to boot without an autoshutdown (i verified the clevo autoshutdown patch was applied in coffeetime.exe). I didnt see EC 1.05.07 in clevo driver respository. Not sure what to do. I cant add the 2nd GPU in via NVCLEAN either. Ultimately imjust trying to run single rtx 3080m clevo pulled from X170 and waiting on the TM primary AUX cable. Number 8. on his notes is what im referring too http://www.smxdiy.com/thread-3091-1-1.html
  7. What needs to be added to the registry? Will the mod be published? Thank you)
  8. Hey, Still working on the Access panel vent so the 2nd fan can pull air, but at present its a Type H (fits 470 thru to 590) copper plate (0.5mm thick) from Ali i'm modifying to sit under the card with Upsiren putty to try and clamp via spider (you'll need longer spider too for this) so heat is shared back into the main heatsink. It aint perfect as bolt holes need widening, but its better than hoping the PCB will dissipate heat. will need to Kapton tape the underside to minimise short risk too. But thats the idea im running with at the moment unless anyone has managed a better fix. will find the link and re-edit post shortly https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ewz3iIS is the part I’m modifying as an off the shelf solution (ish) its an evolution of the copper plate that KBX did on his 980M install but trying to keep as an sandwich assembly (hopefully it wont foul the DVD port too, although i suspect it will, so DVD port will require a trim )
  9. Have you finally managed to get stable performance from your card? I saw on Reddit that a user installed an RTX 5060 on the AGA but couldn’t get any display output. After replacing the card with an RTX 5070 Ti, the problem was completely fixed. Is it possible that your card is incompatible with the AGA?
  10. New UWP app update! Version 1.10.13. No issues and working fine with lastest updated mod.
  11. If I had not already purchased the 9950X3D2 I might have considered it, but 3x retail is too much even if it is an amazing silicon sample. It will be obsolete too soon to make it a smart buy. Kind of nutty when you think about it. No response from him yet. Crickets. I'm surprised that I didn't hear from him. I offered all of what I mentioned for $1600. You could not even buy the mobo and memory for that, not to mention all of the extras it would be like getting for free. Maybe he did not see my text message. Yeah, there is not much difference in anything except memory benchmarks to be brutally honest about it. A little bit, for sure. Not a lot. And, a little bit doesn't mean very much when it comes to gaming, and it won't mean the difference between winning or losing. A little bit really matters when you've barely got enough to make things work.
  12. Yesterday
  13. MONSTER SP98 270k for sale over on the OCN forums: https://www.overclock.net/threads/intel-core-ultra-270k-plus-sp98-p107-e95-mc64.1819986/?post_id=29603558#post-29603558 $755 shipped if one of you want to grab it and basically have prolly one of the best 270k's out there. Too rich for my blood and I'm content with the SP85 for a third of the price for my needs....but if someone wants an absolute beast mode of a chip, snag it fast! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have mastered the art of lost/delayed packages lately. My Noctua fans got lost in the mail from Amazon which were shipped by their own shipping services (they refunded it) . The reordered 120mm ones showed up but the AF9 top case fans for the C26 are running late AND now my conductonaut extreme has gone missing/delayed direct from so I'm sitting here with everything else ready to go (9850X3D, AM5 TG heatspreader, non conformal coating) and just need the darn LM to bring it home lol..... Also need it because I'll be delidding a couple of 13900k and 14900ks chips for a couple of guildies since I still have all my RocketCool delidding gear on the shelf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That really would be the best approach for @tps3443 if he wants to stick with AMD. Tested, qualified components and a clearly better sample 9950X3D2 than the one he is rocking now especially at a killer price. I think you already tested CL26 6000 dual rank vs single rank before in gaming to see if there was any uplift like back in the day with dual rank DDR4 we found back on the forums with laptops? Still for someone running 6000 tight as possible, they could turn out to be the perfect set of sticks.
  14. Hi @Daedalus, did you make any progress regarding the design/part used? I started to really think on the second fan and cooling system mod, by dedicating a copper plate to GPU with it's own fan & pipes.
  15. I made @tps3443 a crazy low offer on the 9950X3D2, X870E Apex, IceMan Direct Die block, G.SKILL 6000 CL26 RAM and Supercool Direct Touch RAM cooler. That CPU is a WHOLE lot better than the one he has. So is the motherboard and RAM for that matter. If he doesn't want it, if anyone here is interested I will let it go for the same utterly insane low price as a complete package. Ready to use, turnkey. Speaking of 6000 CL26, this is the best that the garbage V-Color dual rank trash kit is capable of doing. I spent about 5 hours yesterday with it installed in the SFF build and it just doesn't have much to offer. As the low clock speeds it is capable of it performs actually quite well, it just can't hit any clock speeds that are worth a darn. It is not even bootable at 6400 in 1:1... debug code 00 on every attempt. Great example why one should never judge a book by its cover. With EXPO specs like this kit has one would think it is a fantastic memory kit, but it really sucks unless you run it close to stock. As sucky as it is, it will be good enough for the SFF build since it is not going to get put through the benching meat grinder. It will have a mundane existence that is limited to the mediocrity of web browsing and 3D gaming.
  16. Seems to have passed for now. ill try to keep an eye on it
  17. Last week
  18. Thank you very much. I flashed the vbios and the laptop boots normally. Then, i did get a black screen after a long sleep. Still haven’t tested after a cold boot. Chatgpt suggested disabling sleep and use hibernation instead. Still looking for other solutions.I got the UEFI box checked now but I don’t know if that will make a difference.
  19. I can offer this one coming from an ADLINK RTX 3000 with UEFI support, running in Zbook 17 G1. 90.06.53.00.7D.rom
  20. Definitely, the more I research, the more I am settled on EPDM. I need to locate that pump res combo you recommended I picked up for a good deal from PPC and res and fittings. I finally locked down on a new shelf to hold a large swath of my parts and boxes as the other room is full. Wife is giving me funny looks now..... 🤣 I like that you've tested each variant now with no X3D, 1xCCD X3D, 2xCCD X3D to see the progression (or regression) in regards to overclocking capability with X3D and peak stock clocks coming into play. I came to the same conclusion, outside of X3D beneficial games, that the 270k is actually one of my favorite CPUs on every level. Unfortunately for me, as always, Fallout 76 disproportionately loves X3D cache....scarily so even at 4k. I've tested and retested extensively the last 3 years and that massive chasm remains across the 14900k and 270k. Do you think the IMC on the 9950X3D2 you have is weaker than your other chips? Congratz on selling the HEDT rig over on OCN! Still a $1k+ difference now and I wouldn't rule out another price hike before we escape 2026. I've been testing my Windforce 5080 SFF back and forth against my 5090 in my main rig the last few days. I'm not unplugging the 5090 12vhpwr connector. I'm using the Corsair 1000w SFF instead externally to power the 5080 so swapping is quick and easy. 5090 is just a monster. WoW and even Fallout 76 keep the 5080 pegged at 99% outside of player heavy areas. Then again, there are many areas in WoW that keep the 5090 at 99% too even with a 175fps cap in place. As long as a GPU doesn't make that, deep seesaw screeching whine I can usually work with it. No GPU is truly silent under load and if I need to put my ear right next to it to hear it, to me that is effectively silent. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can touch that 3090FE whine I had. That was next level nauseating. Definitely keep the Astral. Still the most beautiful 5090 IMHO with that industrial slab look. I love the heatsink on that thang and prices are climbing and climbing. If I were you, I'd return the 9950X3D2 at a minimum to fish for a better sample or pick up a 9950X3D from Newegg which is on sale for $569.99 AND includes a free AIO or maybe see if @Mr. Fox wants to part with one of his samples OR return both the CPU and MB and see if @Talon wants to part with one of his 270k samples and go Intel. Of course going Intel you're going to want 8600+ capable G2 ram, cpu and MB at a minimum. If you want to stick with BB for their credit line, 270k is, oh, $600 cheaper than the 9950X3D2..... good deals on MBs and that helps compensate for memory costs. Damn, that's not good news if it can't even do 6000. MSI only guarantees 5600 on that model so you can't even send it in for a swap. Might have to just tune around 5800 or run a dirty OC that's "good enough" for gaming but still a major bummer. Silicon lottery strikes again.... Still a damn good deal though on the price and I'm not sure 5800 vs 6000 will even make any meaningful difference in gaming and you can maybe tighten up the timings even more. Do a dirty mem OC test 5800 vs 6000->6400 in games and go "meh....." Nice snag on the entire hood assembly so a small silver lining.... ------------------------------------------------------------ "Progress" = ~10% uplift.....
  21. Hello. I want to buy a X170KM-G without CPU and without SSD. Want one with: 16GB of RAM maximum. RTX 3060 maximum. Dual 330W or 780W PSU (can pay +80usd extra for it) Can do 750USD PayPal direct quick payment. Shipping can pay 150USD for Canada/USA Shipping can pay 30€ for Europe It's to test my RTX 4090 MXM. I do need to get the custom heatsink for it and it'll cost more like 300USD...
  22. The test was the Dell Precision M6800 (x8) vs P775TM (x16) in TimeSpy graphics only. Maybe the Dell is too old for the 4090 but good for the 4080. (16100 graphics) 330W PSU minimum for both systems.
  23. Okay, fair enough. I can not argue with that since I do not have any exp with 40th series. With 3080 it was a few percent.
  24. I don’t know if I should flash a vbios that supports uefi. Because the current vbios 90.06.5F.00.32 in GPU-z shows unchecked uefi box. I’m not sure if this is the main problem that made the black screen happen every time i turn on the laptop
  25. Still trying to find a user-friendly guide for an updated and unlocked BIOS for this old laptop.
  26. Hello …. I didn’t use x170 laptops at all
