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.

Ugly AF 4 r015 resistor but is working miracles 20k points on fire strike

Good Evening Everyone! Finally had some time to set aside to upgrade to the platform I purchased from Brother Fox. CPU and Memory are phenomenal, had the profile from Mr. Fox when he had this and thus far its been great. Had to apply a bit more LM and reseat the direct die block for temps to be where they should otherwise its been a breeze! The one weird issue I havent been able to square quite yet is the 9070 XT. Since the combo was coming included with a CPU and RAM block, I decided to block the 9070 XT also so now everything is in a loop 9070 XT > RAM > 7900 XTX > CPU > Pump > 1080mm Rad > pump Sadly thus far I havent been able to get the 9070 XT to output video. Its detected, no errors and drivers install but 0 output. The one oddity I could find is that doesnt run at PCIE 4.0 (set to 4 for testing) only cycling between 2.0 and 1.1 PCIE Gen link. I have removed my NVME to 10Gbps adapter occupying M.2_1 which should be CPU linked but no change. I was going to try moving the DIMM_2 adapter today but discovered ants in my bedroom so I've been doing a full cleaning today instead of more troubleshooting. CPU is sitting at 37c for idle and load temps were 57-59 for the 9950X3D2, load being BattleField 6. 7900 XTX temps increased to 35c load where it used to be closer to 25c when it was alone in the loop. If I can sort out the 2nd GPU slot and get video output from the 9070 XT ill be right as rain but for the moment I am pretty stoked

It worked insanely good 4 rs015 resistors and 153w now

my best now.. i want to increase the dram voltage a little bit to go up to 2400 but i dont find any type of RAM voltage control in my unlocked bios, anyway 2200MHz is very well for DDR3

i wanted to buy a lg gram a long time, but the main thing that held me back is the very high minimum brightness of its screen. every year they keep using the same matte IPS screens with a minimum of 30cd/m (NBC reviews). since im using my laptop often in bed, thats a bummer and a no go. is there maybe any way to reduce this, i read about the advanced bios settings, is there an option for this? probably not, or a custom firmware or software to reduce the brightness even more? until this day a hve no clue why LG is doing this. there is no plausible reason. IPS displays can go as low es 2cd/m like seen with different Thinkpads for example.

remember you from NBR times, found your review here via KI.. thanks for this. im also thinking about buying a used 17z90rt, because it seems until today the only under 1kg 15", strangly enough. there are some ZT versions around, but the reflective screen is a no-go for me, so have to look for the first model with anti-reflection. how stupid, that they didnt use the same, obviously superior display of the RT in the following model. do you still have yours? 1.5 years later, how is it holding up, anything to ad to the review long term? cheers

hi all, an old NBR user for years. completely forgot about the forum, sad to say. and now i landed here because of an KI search, funny enough. it linked to a user review here and memories came back 😉

This is a pretty awesome AI video. All of the action movie heavy hitters are in the totally fake cast. It is also terrifying to see at the same time. I truly believew that people are going to end up being falsely accused and prosecuted for crimes that are caught on video created by AI that they never commited.

Anyone? If there are no KS then I Can buy 9900K if binned. 5GHz at 1.25-1.28V I am a serious buyer.

That makes sense and good to know they should work on the MSI and Gogabyte boards. The KingBank sticks being problematic on your former X870E Apex adds a nice bit of validation to the problem since we ordered them within a week or two of each other from da zon.... That also means that even with a BIOS update the HP 35L most likely would work with them as HP uses their own custom boards and cancerware. My problem is/was having 2x Asrock boards and 2x Asus boards. Asrock having problems with their sticks from the jump and Asus developing issues after this latest Agesa update (could be more even on the slightly older BIOS, but I didn't FAFO enough to see)....yet Corsair, Teamgroup and Kingston (HP) Rage sticks keep on truckin'..... I could get one stick of the KingBank to kinda, sorta sporadically post on the Dark Hero but then it would immediately freeze at the Asus logo screen. On the other hand, KingBank absolutely flawless on Intel and an absolute joy to use. Was able to get my 14900KS to post 8800 and the 270k pass TM5 up to 8933 in G4.... -------------------------------------------------------- Nice to see you in the 18k club! More importantly not needing the external hardware but software (as it should be) to use your GPU properly. If it turns out Nvidia is purposely going out of their way to neuter mVolt+, we'll be stuck with older drivers going forward just to be able to use our GPUs as we want.

RIP. Harald V of Norway (Harald V). We'll miss you here up in the cold North. A good man and a good King.

The Kingbank 8400 kit works fine on the B850MPOWER and worked fine on X870E AORUS Master, but not well with the X870E Apex. Safedisk commented several times that the SPD is not per JEDEC specs and does not play nice with AMD. I also have a older (early DDR5) G.SKILL Intel XMP 8000 kit that has severe issues on an AMD platform. Doesn't even post with the memory default SPD profile about half the time. The AGESA wigs out trying to train it for some reason.

I'll try it on my M4800, but not until tomorrow. I haven't run Time Spy in a while. We'll see.
