    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.

    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.
  4. Mr. Fox
    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.

    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.
  8. loopster
    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

    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.....

    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...
  12. SuperMG
    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.
  13. Kastner
    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.
  14. SuperMG
    Me too I don't need inf mod. It's not important
  15. Hussain Alhadher
    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
  16. Dream
    Still trying to find a user-friendly guide for an updated and unlocked BIOS for this old laptop.

    Hello …. I didn’t use x170 laptops at all
  18. Maro97
    I have a latest dsanke modded BIOS support (RTX 30xx / 128gb / 9900ks ) no need to INF mod at all
  19. SuperMG
    64GBPS (x8) vs 128GBPS (x16). X8 runs great on 4080 but on 4090 I get 4080 performance, maybe I did something wrong there. PCIe 4 x8 = 3 x16 PCIe 4 x4 = 3 x8 (Oculink speed)
  20. Kastner
    Here is @Maro97 bench from an earlier post and he has P870. It is almost same CPU score what I got from X170K 11900k. Sorry I do not have test for my P870 is disassemblied right now. The 8 lane does not seem to a bottleneck and when I used it there was no problem at all. P775 also uses PCIe gen 3, only from 11th gen PCIe gen 4 is supported but it does not matter either just a few percents. Does not need a vapor for good cooling I have made one from the T-shape heat sink and it was excellent. Only thing why I had to switch to P775 that P870 has no option to make the BIOS mod to RTX and you have to INF mod it. Only with BIOS mod you can use secure boot.

    Actually nothing I have tried so far has made it stable under a stress test at 6000 or higher. VSOC up to 1.2v, VDDIO/VDD/VDDQ up to 1.3v, UCLK+FCLK at 1500, multiple memory kits (both 2x16GB Hynix A-die). FCLK is stable at 2000 with VSOC at 1.1v. If I drop to 5800 stress tests are stable. Too bad its BGA or I would be hunting down a replacement chip. Unless I am missing an important voltage that is not being configured correctly automatically by the bios. Its really odd that I can boot at 7600 but 6000 is not stable. I do not think LM helps performance unless it had a bad PTM paste job, because the CPU is limited to 145W solo or up to 85W in combined loads. Fan noise could be improved though for sure. Regarding the screen swap I found a complete used display assembly from a Vector A18 with the 240hz QHD 1600p IPS panel which is perfect. Even better it has no lid logo RGB so that is one thing that will no longer be reset to a rainbow effect depending on how Steelseries software is feeling that day. The whole unit used was only $185 including tax so not a bad deal at all and very easy to swap the UHD assembly back if the laptop needs to go in for a warranty repair.

    Yeah my Astral wasn’t even that great of a deal either lol. At the time they were brand new for $4,329.99 + tax and they had a single open box for like $3,779 or $3,889 + tax in the Best Buy store, I’m forgetting exactly how much it was. The box was kind of ripped a little, coil whine is not as quiet as my 5090 FE was (That one had a tiny bit, but you had to like put your ear against it to hear it, 1.2KW per limit certainly amplified it just a little bit) But the quietest GPU I ever owned was probably the 5080 Astral OC, it did not make any sound under load, even with your ear right against it lol. The 5090 Astral isn’t bad at all though but it makes a deep buzz if you lean in and try to listen to it. You won’t hear it in a closed case or anything though. Not a squeal or anything annoying at all which Is perfectly fine for me. I think most high end GPU’s will make a buzz under heavy load if you lean in close and listen to them. Too many check boxes these days to be super picky on GPU’s. Max Voltage, core overclocking ability, are 1% lows impacted with +3,000 memory OC, coil whine?, are the core and memory chips actually soldered on the board? lol, does it even work? lol. 😂 Unless something is making a high pitch squeal noise, I don’t care! Two prior products come to mind where I did care!!!. My Z590 Dark Kingpin motherboard, and EVGA power supplies lol. But yeah the Astral overclocks really well, and that’s what made me love it and decide to keep it. Excellent GPU. I’d probably long return my 9950X3D2 and Dark Hero X870 before that 5090 Astral goes anywhere!! Speaking of which that return period is coming up FAST on the AMD chip!! I may swap it out.

    P870TM only does PCIE 3.0 x8 for one slot. And the GPU heatsink will cost a lot lol
  25. Kastner
    Yes, it is a faster CPU in anyway. Yes, exactly! I think that is a good idea and looking forward the results if you share it. If you thinking replacing the P775, P870TM could be an option, it has I think the best CPU cooling solution, especially with the second fan mod. Also it is bigger and heavier, the last true DTR which was the best.
  26. SuperMG
    In Passmark, the average single thread performance is higher on the 11900k than the 9900k. 9900k 2800-2900 vs 11900K 3400-3500 In gaming not so much difference other than the high wattage on the 11th gen CPU for 5/6FPS gain... While being on the same 14nm node... For the heatsink mod. I'll just do one straight heatpipe connected between the CPU and GPU for a shared cooling design. Without adding a 0.5mm copper plate since I'll remove 3 of the tiny heatsinks on the CPU heatsink. If the first heatpipe is enough, I won't add a second one.
  27. Kastner
    9900KS You can try I tried it out, I had an x170km with 11900k and rtx3080 for a few month. It is almost twice as loud, you had two carry two bricks with you and the improvement especially at 2k and higher the difference is not that much for the investment in my opinion. 11th gen was not best generation which intel developed 10900k was better in multi. 8c vs 10c I think P775TM is very good DTR but have to make some compromise with it.
  28. SuperMG
    So at 4.7GHz and 4.8GHz all core, which CPU does the best (in terms of temperature) at the same clock speed? I'm interested to get the binned 9900K which is the 9900KS. Or should I just ditch this laptop and get the X170KM with 11700K?
  29. Kastner
    Short answer is no. With the factory air cooling system you can not achive these numbers. Maybe someone can contradict me but I cannot imagine it could be done.
