Looking good! And in the end, that 5080 is still a freakin' 5080 but for those of us who push hardware for fun, we get bummed when a GPU, CPU or memory doesn't give us much more than advertised. It is our bane of unrealistic expectations. 😁 But not a good OC'er AND a poor UV'er? Boooo...... ------------------------------------------------------- Heh heh heh......the gift that keeps on giving: https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-equalizer-50-gpu-cable-designed-to-prevent-burned-connectors-has-reportedly-burned At a minimum, this connector needs a secure latching system. metal clasp that securely folds over and locks on. An opposing secure latch for that wouldn't hurt either. This would also remove the need to push so hard for security.

This high score sponsored by @Developer79 cuz the vapour chamber fits very good with RTX 3080 … The spacing between the components, capacitors, and coils around the core is professionally and excellently designed. Also, the GPU temperature does not exceed 63°C, and the difference between the GPU temperature and the hotspot is only about 6°C, with the hotspot being higher. p870tm 9900kf rtx 3080 32G ram 2x16 OC 3200mhz CL16

It's a like it's not eDP on D. I tested and I had the same results as on the XVSION VBIOS. ZRT is like a MAX-Q version of the XVSION one. ssj92 said that these vbios indeed use eDP on B which isn't usual. ssj92 made a vbios mod that you should try

Hello. I have the datasheet for the ZRT RTX4090; would you like to see it?

Hi Developer, I can life with it, it is just one way to get the 3080 RTX screwed to the vapor chamber. The small "arms" can a bit adjusted to fit the holes in the vapor chamber. I didn't want to sell something, I just thought I let the community know how I did it. I didn't mean to upset you. Some improvements: I added a thin 20mm*20mm*0.5mm (better would be 25mm*25mm but not available) copper plate between the GPU-Die (size is 20mm*20mm) and the vapor chamber and for all other components I used ~50-60g Thermal Putty (100g Halnziye HY2610 Thermal Putty - 10 W/mK from ebay) to get them connected to the vapor chamber. I didn't modified the other copper shims, just used the putty for it. I think your Mod did some more changes and it is still the professionell way to do it and gives more durability for sure. The Firestrike Overall Score is 26396 with 82°C Hotspot and 66°C average temperature. https://www.3dmark.com/fs/34646133 (GPU max 1965Mhz@0.900v Core and +1500Mhz Mem and CPU 4.6Ghz all core). But 1965Mhz was not stable 24/7. For all day use I set the GPU Voltage curve to max out at 1935Mhz @0.900v with Afterburner and +1500 Mem. 5 hours Road to Vostok gaming was stable =o) I am waiting eagerly for your well done MXM-PCIe Adapter, as you already know, I have 1x P870TM (mine) and 2x P870KM in my family and they also want to upgrade some day if money allows ;-) Best regards Mike

Hi Mikey, Your adapters don't fit quite right. As a result, the vapor chamber sits crookedly in the laptop, causing stress. Also, the contact pressure isn't correct. Furthermore, semiconductor components could get damaged by the screws—but if it works, that's great! Regards, Developer

It's too bad the Astral 5080 isn't a good silicon sample. Everything in the realm of GPUs is totally random now. Paying more for the most premium model(s) now only guarantees that you will pay more for it and it will have an extra bell or whistle, but the possibility that silicon sample might be an inferior one, or it will have other defects like severe coil whine, is exactly the same as the cheapest models. Glad you got a decent sample and slightly better price on the Best Buy open box 5090. Are you going to do the Astral fan resistor mod so you can cross-flash a better vBIOS? It's a black one, correct?

This Astral 5090 was an open box from Bestbuy. Not a crazy good deal like your current and previous 5090's though. But much cheaper than new MSRP! I have the card COOKING in a closed case, all (16) case fans are fixed to 20% or 550rpm for complete silence. The card still scored 15,300 without any overclocking or voltage sliders moved up. It has all of the ROP's It likes high clocks It seems to idle at low power 10-13w The cards runs very COOL when pushing normal case fan speeds. No harsh or annoying coil whine. You have to open the case door, get down on your knees, and put your head in the case and listen against the GPU to hear anything and only while (Steel Nomad is running at that it's a very faint buzz) I do not mind that. I am going to be honest about the 5080 Astral, because I was trying to sell it. And I did not want to be just completely ragging on its overclocking abilities too hard ya know lol. Well, if you add even just +270 to its offset, it will lock up in games. Even low power games using only 250 watts or less. It just does not OC well at all. I read the Tech power up review, and they hit 3,312Mhz with their sample, I watched many more YT videos of them cranking out at least 3,240-3,300 in more demanding scenarios with 5080 Astrals. I mean, it's a 5080 Astral running SUB 60c pulling less than 300 watts, and only running 3,165-3,182Mhz. This seemed pretty weak to me. Whereas with this 5090, you can keep adding offset, until you see the core clock just not moving anymore because it's just too warm or out of power, but it's still not crashing on you or locking up by adding more offset even though the clocks are not moving up anymore. That turned me off with the Astral 5080 OC. If it would have clocked good, I would have been fine with it. But I felt like I was double disappointed. #1 I am settling with a 5080. And #2 it does not clock worth a dang. The next issue was it also did not undervolt very well either. So, it seemed weak on both ends of the spectrum.

Hey Developer79, I’m not sure why you think I copied your work. I already sent you a private message about this, but I’ll clarify it here in the public thread: this is my own modding project. I never received any information from you or anyone on how you did your work. In fact, I asked you more than once over the last few weeks/months via private message how much your 3080 mod cost, but I never received a response. Because of that, I decided to start my own modding. There’s no rocket science involved. I simply used a caliper and standard tools to create my own mod, as I couldn’t wait any longer. I suggest we keep this conversation private. I only wanted to clear this up because you claimed I copied your work, which is absolutely not the case. This is 100% my own work, and I never received any guidance from you or anyone else on how to do it. I just used my own brain and skills. Hey Maro, yes, it works! Thx again =o) There is no "rtx 30xx adapter"! I just cutted of the arms from the old 1080 card backplate bracked and drilled holes etc. well.., you can read it all in my post above.

@tps3443: "I'm going to stick with this 5080 because it makes sense price wise and stuff...I don't really need a 5090...I'm going to just rock this 5080 and seriously I'm good!!" Me: Welcome back bro! I knew you weren't gonna last. 🙂 We all like the halo goodness too much around these parts! Where did ya pick it up? Now you get to sell off the Astral 5080.....again. 🙂 Sounds like a good sample! Let the fun times begin!!

This 5090 Astral is so much better than the 5080 Astral it’s not even comparable. It’s much better silicon all the way around. I can run the 5090 at nearly the same clocks as the 5080 in games. Except the 5090 is pulling so much more power. Much higher offsets.

Did "They" seriously think no one would notice? You know "They" might have thought that...some people are just total f*king muppets

Something like that! 😀 This 5090 Astral clocks the same as the 5080 Astral does. That should not happen. Wow!

Sickness? GPS? GPU Derangement Syndrome?

Jason from X-Vsion. Helen doesn't answer to emails anymore. Jason gave me more informations than Helen did in a 1 year...

Time to see a Dr for my sickness. 😂 Yep..One of these is a 5090 the other is a 5080. Dual Astral’s. @electrosoft This 5090 Astral maxes out at 1075MV which I’m perfectly happy with that. My 5080 Astral only maxed out at 1065MV which I’m fine with as well, but it just didn’t clock all that well. Anyways, this 5090 Astral is already showing some good results. The 5080 Astral just wasn’t a strong OCer over my Zotac 5080’s even running 20c + cooler than the Zotac’s.. I was seriously expecting the 5080 Astral OC to hit like SUB 3.3Ghz in games on the factory 450w bios.

That is still on the public trump.com web page, no need to use the Way Back Machine. It was certainly written by someone on the T1 Mobile media team that is not very tech savvy. It is not a statement by Trump himself. T1 Mobile is using the "Trump" name (business entity) under license. https://www.trump.com/media/trump-mobile-launches-a-bold-new-wireless-service I could not find any claim on the https://trumpmobile.com/ making a false claim that the phone itself is made in the USA. Of course, we do not expect NBC or any other fake news organization to disclose anything that goes against their irrational, TDS narrative or otherwise does not fit their leftist agenda. The media hates Trump and Trump supporters and everything they publish is fabricated, spun or taken out of context. The Trump Organization is a massive business empire that has nothing to do with his political office They hate Trump, Musk and all other successful business men that are not supporting of the leftist agenda. (Elon, Mark Cuban and Jeff Bezos also used to be on their list of beloved businessmen. That changed to hate when they dared to not shift as far left on everything as they wanted them to.) The phone is made in China. There is no question. Someone from T1 Mobile published a marketing piece that is technically ignorant (using the company name under license) misspoke. Probably enough said at this point since it is off topic.

I don't know who you are talking to , but might be useful to CC me on the email chain. The more information I have from them the easier it is to do mods

Hmmm. From the horse mouth...While customers can easily switch using their current phone, Trump Mobile is also excited to announce it will release the “T1 Phone” in August. It is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier. Waybackmachine: Trump.org own homepage "Designed and built in the United States". Can't be clearer than this. Almost no hardware is built in US anymore. The phone is built from chinese tech and parts. Of coure they''ll change. I would if I served a fat lie. If chinese tech is a huge security problem as they tell you... Why start offer it? I don't grasp that. Scrap the whole stupid idea as it stands now. Just offer the service provider. Forget that stupid chinese gold colored mobile.

So I finally finished putting together the secondary system (again) for my daughter to play on / for me to tinker with the 270k on the Strix-A z890 with the Crucial Vengeance 9200 sticks and dusted off the Red Devil 9070xt. Setting up to triple boot CachyOS, Win11 and Win 10. Win11 for her, Win10 for me, CachyOS to try it out as I've never used that distro before: Testing wise, this 270k is superior to my 265k for memory OC. First 265k couldn't do anything over 8400 G2, second was superior as it topped out at 8933 G2. The 270k maxed out my MB capabilities which is 9066 (in it's defense, that is what it is rated) G4 tested before with the 265k's. This 270k does 9066 G2 and that is at pure stock settings. Wish I had a better motherboard to see where it can go, but with Nova Lake so close I'm kinda good where I am. After the Z890 Hero and Apex fiasco, not sure if I want to bin MBs. Maybe step out of the Asusphere and give MSI a try if a cheap one pops up. I'll tune profiles from 8000->9066 G2 for testing and playtime when my daughter isn't using it for diving back into WoW and Hogwarts. Vengeance 9200 sticks can do up to 8933 with no extra cooling even with these trash heatsinks from Corsair. After that, they need a fan on them or temps run away (pushing 80) and eventually fail as expected. Gaming wise, X3D as previously reported is king for Fallout 76, but the 9070xt is not a bad card for Fallout 76. At 4k, I saw some decent spots being optimized into the 80s. I might retest it in my main rig as a daily driver to really soak it in. I'm going to use the wife's system (where I have a Steam dir) to also retest with her 9070xt and the tuned 14900KS. 270k at 4k on the 9070xt has the 9070xt gasping for air just like the 14900ks. In the end, the 9070xt is basically a 5070ti with small dips approaching 5080 performance. Still love this red devil though watching it hit 3300+ at stock in Fallout. It has basically no coil whine and runs stupidly cool. Much better than the gigabyte in the wife's system which is still a good card and hits ~3100 at stock.

In typical leftist fake news style, the TDS-afflicted imbeciles at NBC News misreport and take things out of context in a feeble effort to cast the people they hate in a negative light. Nothing I can see published on the Trump Mobile web site (or the video on the "About Us" page) claims the hardware is made in America. The customer support is 100% US based and the services provided reflect conservative American values, better than mainstream pricing and patriotism (military discount, etc.). They offer a BYOD option as well. It is about the service provider, not about the hardware. Nice try NBC idiots.

I don't understand why people care where the tech or the parts come from. I just want stuff to be affordable... Who cares who makes it or who designed it? Don't we all win as a human race when we work together instead of competing? I mean I love my country, but this is insanity. Some people are easily duped. Thanks for the good laugh this morning bro @Papusan

LOL. This is too funny. Real China-ware. No hint or sign of US tech (intelligence) here.... But people will buy it, I'm 100% sure😎 At same time the US want to remove/stop selling wifi-routers made outside the US. Oh' well. Tech is tech, Isn't it ? For the US market. Run and order.... Some will profit on your stupidity!!! You can of course take a selfie with the camera with this gold looking T1 mobile. But you may see you are the stupid one in photo. Or just the fool?😀 Fool (A matter of action): Refers to unwise or irrational behavior. A person can be highly intelligent but still act like a fool by taking unnecessary risks, ignoring obvious advice, or allowing themselves to be easily tricked. [1, 2, 3] The T1 isn't just another smartphone; it's a bold step toward wireless independence. Designed with American values in mind, the T1 delivers top-tier performance, sleek design, and powerful features... Yep,this phone is the ultimate scam! Want one?
