Congratulations to you on getting healthier @Papusan! That's always a good feeling. I remember picking on people about the per pin monitoring. I knew if I had that, it would become a new thing to focus on (And it has). What we do not know, does not hurt us. This 5090 Astral is giving me a special kind of feeling though lol. The feeling that the 5080 Astral is not giving me.

For them it's the heredity. Some have never been in work. But the common denominator is same lung illness. And none of those smoked much. 3 sisters have suffered the same fate of the disease. The same goes for my father (the brother). Also my sister (no smoker). The resemblance between them is quite clear. This illness is hereditary. But for me it can be from 3 reason as already mentioned. With triple reasons it is doomed to happen🤨 NVIDIA's connector story: EPS vs. 12VHPWR Connector – Good doesn't always win, but evil does more and more often (background information) | Retro The 12-pin connector as a space-saving art object Because Ampere also brought the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and the RTX 3090 Founders Edition with their avant-garde shaped design to the market. All well and good, but where to put those space-hogging headers? When the PCB designer runs out of space, in the worst case scenario, this is compensated for by a great deal of audacity; others call it creative waste. The problem was that there simply weren't any suitable, upright headers available, not even from Molex in South Korea, who have been diligently producing connectors since 1984 and should know exactly what they're doing (or rather, what they're not doing). However, one thing is crucial here: this 12VHPWR connector was NOT developed by Molex, but rather under the leadership of Astron as a kind of derivative. Corsair GPU Power Bridge rated for up to 105°C melts on RTX 4090 Founders Edition My Corsair GPU Power Bridge (the angled adapter for the power cable) completely melted along the top row of pins. Because it got so hot, it actually melted and deformed the plastic power plug on my RTX 4090 Founders Edition as well.

Good job on that brother. Yeah sorry to hear about the lung problems. For your dad and sisterwas it entirely heredity or did they also do the same type of work that contributed to the problem?

Thanks, both. I have even go down in weight. Close to 5KG down in 3.5 weeks🙂 Target is 75 KG (184-185 height). So still need go down 18Kg. Then I have my cholesterol. I need to get it down from almost 5 to 1.4-1.8. Need to be that low due increased stroke risk. Regarding broken lungs. The work I did, heredity and of course the smoke. so triple reasons for the problem. Papa,his sisters had same lung disease. Also my sister have it now. They have never smoked but still got same lung problems.

Titans are on another level. Many think the Titan is a slightly better Raider, but it is MSI's flagship and it shows. Nice pickup! 4090 and 5090 mobile are much closer than their desktop parts anyhow. I was bidding on a 9955HX3D + 5090 Raider on eBay, but the price got outlandish pretty quick and I was out. It ended up selling for something like $4k so yeah..... Yeah, I am getting ready to open mine back up and sell off several items that missed the first wave along with a few extras too. I'll have to give that driver a dry. I have to admit I haven't had many problems in WoW lately with the 9800X3D + 5090, but if there are DX12 direct issues addressed specifically with WoW, I'm going to want to update anyhow. I've been advocating and have posted this advice several times in this very forum now for this for years now since the 4090. One of the reasons I kept my front panel off was so the 12vhpwr cable could have a clean, straight run for a bit from the GPU/PSU before introducing any type of bends...... With the WV2Pro now, I could put the glass back on, but I like an open case now and zero extra fans needing to run except what's on the GPU and the 420mm AIO fans. Keeps things pretty quiet. That blood pressure is excellent @Papusan!! The fact is is much lower also means the heightened stress on your system will allow it to relax and may even allow your breathing to become a bit more relaxed too. How did you damage your lungs? Was it the smoking or something else? Either way, good job on the BP! Now hopefully we can get that heart rate down. Has your doc asked you to try nebivolol? It is for BP but also helps slow your heart rate a bit too and prevents spikes.

Glad it was just a poor connection. Sort of. Unfortunately, having a poor connection with these garbage cables is common. They are fragile, inferior and the people responsible for making them a standard need to lose their jobs and be forced to find a new occupation. One they are good at, 'cause they suck at their current job.

Glad to see you are making good progress, brother.

Some progress. Today is 4 weeks since the stroke. The bloodpressure is on the way down. Down from 170-190/95 So the risk for a new stroke is reduced. But my heart rate is awful. Hower around 95-100 due broken lungs😗 The lifestyle change and medication seems to help. But this can't fix my broken lungs. It's what it is. Imagine how many users use cables with load balancing problems.

So when I installed a brand new cable, and my balancing sill just wasn’t good at all. And I’m thinking what the heck, the Astral was throwing alarms to let me know balancing was pretty bad. Nothing I could do to fix it. So I followed the 12vhpwr from GPU plug back to PSU plug, and I had it tucked in tightly to hide it with wire management and even pinched or pressed bent in a few places in my case to make things look neater. I pulled the cable out in one spot near the PSU side, and tried to make it as straight as a run as possible everywhere else. And balancing is completely fixed. These cables are crazy sensitive. I’ve never been able to monitor per pin amperage before. And a bend anywhere on the cable even towards the PSU side can completely throw things off. I’m wondering how unbalanced my 5090 FE might have been. This is what I learned, on the PSU side and GPU side you want the cable to be coming straight out to about 50mm length of wire. Then it can start to bend.

Hi Maro, can you share me the link to your Firestrike Score online to check them more deeply. I like your temps by the way! I'm limited by my ram, only 2800 cl16...

Out of all the BIOS versions I tested, BIOS 1.7.3 delivered the best memory frequency and timing results. Using very ordinary Samsung DDR4-2666 memory modules, I was able to overclock them to 2933 MHz with timings of CL17

The main difference between X-VSION and ZRT 4080/4090 is the VBIOS location. X-Vsion is on the back side meanwhile the ZRT one is on the front. Not practical for XVSION as you need to remove the entire MXM from the slot to backup your VBIOS. There are some other differences but it's like different locations of each components near the MXM pins. GPU die, VRAM chips and coils are the same.

Hello, how is your project doing ? I am curious, did you isntall the xeon motherboard ? If so can you get throttlestop and check if the cpu has some overclocking bins ? I am curious if xeons have them as I am currently hesitating between getting a xeon motherboard or a 7920hq motherboard that I know for a fact has +6 turbo overclocking bins. Thanks.

Interesting, idk why they state eDP on DP_D when the XVSION one is on DP_B. Also, this one is same design as XVSION. The one I bought is slightly different. Has 1 less large inductor.

Wow! This is good news. Now I can revert to Origin BIOS. I might message you if things go south. 😁

Probably has been plugged in and removed too many times. So far everything is staying evenly distributed across the pins according to both of my WireView Pro 2, but I have have not disturbed the cables very often. You have been doing a fair amount of GPU shuffling recently and these are pretty fragile connectors.

Just a update since having an Astral, I was able to see the per pin amperage using my Lian Li 12v2x6 cable. And it was really bad. That cable was toast. I swapped to a fresh Corsair cable which has it balanced pretty well. I noticed even just how the cable is routed or tucked in somewhere in your case has a huge impact on good per pin balancing of the cable.

Hard to believe the 5090 Astral OC is $4,329 at best buy and sold by Best Buy then 5% sales tax on top of that. +60% more than launch MSRP. It’s insanity. Also I really thought the RTX Pro 6000 would not increase, but I guess it did. It’s so expensive.

Well in the process of talking about the Raider A18 value I eventually decided to return it. I found a good deal for a used Titan 18 with 14900HX, 4090M and UHD+ 120hz. The build quality is top notch and the vapor chamber is a good boost above the Raider 18 heatpipe solution. The 14th Gen chip does almost as good as the X3D in WoW with some memory tuning. The only thing I want is to do is downgrade the display to either 1600p or ideally 1200p. I reopened my eBay store and am pretty steadily selling off my excess hardware. This week Nvidia released a hotfix driver that addresses DX12 issues in WoW which has been great. A lot of the problems like the screen going black and slowly rerendering everything after opening the transmog window in certain areas has been fixed.

I hope this is of some help. It may be almost identical to the RTX 4080 information.ユーザーマニュアル RTX4090m.pdf User Manual RTX4090m.pdf

https://pdf.directindustry.com/viewerCatalog/zrt-technology/mm4080b6-12g/4598281-1085225.html#open I could only find this. It's the same design and board as the ZRT 4090 (MM4090B6-16G) It's like X-VSION 4080 and 4090. Same PCB, same VBIOS DCB. I have the XVSION 4090 datasheet but it's on another device that I can't access at the moment. Might upload the XVSION one in 7 days.

Can you upload it? I'd like to take a look. Thanks

Bro. You bought the wrong card😀 Why go so damn cheapo? And I know you you love the FE design. Maybe next month the 6000 Pro will go for over 15K. so this will be a damn good deal, LOOL Run and buy, and return that Asus turd🤣 NVIDIA now lists RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB GPU at $13,250 You need all 4 of them for your lonely 5090 😀 And Asus should really offer an fire extinguisher in the PSU package charging +$1000. Who said graphics cards was so damn expensive?🤔 ASUS ROG Thor 3000W Titanium III Edition 20 PSU listed at €999, comes with four ROG Equalizer cables for quad RTX 5090 setup The limited edition PSU includes four ROG Equalizer 12V-2×6 cables for four single GeForce RTX 5090 card. No fire extinguisher, though. ASUS has listed the ROG Thor 3000W Titanium III Edition 20 power supply at €999. This is the company’s new limited edition PSU shown during Computex as part of the... I was so sure I seated the cable properly and it’s been running fine for 11 months now. I suppose MSI prevails nonetheless with their extremely high quality adapters :).
