It is that for sure. Greed and self-aggrandizing business ventures are agnostic to anything else with no regard to who it affects. The agenda needed for furtherance of the corporate enrichment strategy is the only thing that matters. Anything else is an inconvenient annoyance and distraction. It doesn't matter where their money comes from or how it is acquired as long as it comes. He is really skilled at peddling garbage, that is for sure. And, he is worshipped by his garbage lovers.

Hmmm. Nvidia could start competing with their own partners and offer their own homebreved "RTX Spark" laptop and desktops. I’m sure Cook could contribute something with that... He has the needed experience. And Nvidia already do it with their graphics cards. Why not go into Jokebook business once the AI bubble pops?

It's a lack of empathy and a long term perspective, just chasing the next quarter IMO. I'm just waiting to hear how my community is also responsible for this from some people. I'm sure we already have some people transvestigating the Chinese spy.

Exactly. And a clown like Cook would be the kind of moron to take that position.

Jensen came up from the GPU market, so I think he might have had at least some desire to have the fastest GPU and maintain a reputation. We could end up with someone who looks at the numbers and goes "who needs geforce?" and just kills the consumer side.

For business-facing markets it is not too far fetched, but hiring that clown for anything that relates to gaming and PC performance enthusiast interests it would be an idiotic decision. Someone like that nutjob would just perpetuate the likelihood of PC gaming and enthusiast interests continuing to be marginalized and no longer a relevant business pursuit. One need look no further than the crApple product stack and the $hitshow that their garbage represents.

Would you prefer that Cook take over and run Nvidia? I am at a loss for words. President Trump says Apple’s Tim Cook is the only man to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO

Speaking of "dark times" it appears Micro$lop services are down. Everything Micro$lop is down at work. Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Office suite, etc. and I just checked on my personal computer and outlook.com is inaccessible.

I purchased this panasonic toughbook fz-55 mark 2 on ebay. I have been a long time dell roughbook user (3 generations, still have 7414), and all those machines had the GPS built in and worked flawlessly. Am a USCG merchant marine and do lots of boat work, and deliveries. It has this double round connector on the back that I am pretty sure connects to the dock, and allows one to have an external antenna in the vehicle. Blue and red wires connect to it. The toughbook has the Sierra Wireless EM7511 Qualcom Snapdragon X16 LTE-A in it shown in the attached picture, and device manager shows a NMEA port 19 on the Sierra unit. Putty sees that port and GPS data is being read, although its mostly empty due to no GPS antenna. I have an external GPS bluetooth unit, with a usb cable and it works fine. I have searched on the web for information on this unite. Sounds like a need to buy and internal antenna setup, connect into those two spots on that daughterboard. Then route wire and antenna likely up into the display. Looking for where to get the antenna assembly, and maybe instructions on how to install it.

We are living in dark times worldwide and things stand to get much worse in the near future. Wickedness is a way of life now. Setting aside all of the extremely undesirable political troubles and inevitable fallout looming on the horizon and focusing on the technology space, a huge part of it is a concerted effort to monetize everything and convert personal computing into a subscription model in every way possible. The big players don't want PC enthusiasts or general computer users to own long-lasting, powerful and capable hardware or locally installed software that allows a buy-once/use forever scenario to occur. We can say we "don't blame them from a business perspective" but the intent is self-serving and nefarious at its root, designed to extract every ounce of revenue possible and make being dependent versus self-sufficient the end goal. I do blame them. It's the wrong path for everyone. This touches all aspects of life in the world we live in. Essentially the same business model as big pharma. Nobody wants cures or permanent solutions. They want lifelong prescriptions that feed the pig for the same reasons that big tech wants lifelong subscriptions. The end user is no longer a valued customer, we are a source of revenue that needs to be captured in perpetuity. No thanks. Hard pass. I do blame them and that business model. It's messed up and unacceptable.

Not so sure this will help gamers/consumers. Jensen made graphics cards for games and gamers, what will the new leaders do? They can probably nothing about Geforce and gaming. They will probably put all the eggs into AI and severs. Jensen Huang leaves Nvidia with immediate effect The founder is leaving after 33 years as CEO. The CFO is taking over and the product plan will be finalized. There is a lot more into this. All the smuggling of chips and helping build up China's AI capacity (in the grey market) is probably the main reason. And China... They does what they always do. First fill up (stock up) with chips and vram, then make it work the way they want it.... Modded Nvidia RTX 5090 with 96 GB VRAM and custom BIOS surfaces in China

and... he's out! -> NVIDIA Announces CEO Transition NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) Board of Directors announced today that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately. Colette Kress, current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NVIDIA, has agreed to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer. Kress will continue to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer while serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer until a permanent successor has been named. The Board is initiating a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and will consider internal and external candidates.

IIRC, the 8570W cable is different to the 8770W from discussion with GuitarG, I recall the pinout he added to the thread, That said, moving a few cables is preferable to moving all of them...... Best have my steady hands and good eyes that day 🙂 Do we assume that Ali cable is a end to end solution? (could be an equipment pull or an actual manufactured clone) I ask as the "official" has the interposer board which i couldnt see in the Ali advert. Ive also seen the 8770W cables on ebay but again all seem to be missing the board in the middle (assumption is the cable is doing all the pinout changes to make LVDS Mobo and edp/IPS screen "talk" and work. (added in GuitarG's version of the above for 8570W comparison) Just trying to get all the bits to the puzzle...... So 301 is the Normal, 401 is the "dreamcolor". added to the basket 🙂 amongst other ALi items for the machine 😄

I discovered something else that improves CPU performance. There is an option found on the CPU Power Management Control page that needs to be disabled for maximum CPU performance on Windoze and especially so for Linux. On older BIOS (like I use) it is named "Resource Priority Feature" (sounds like something good, but the "priority" is wrong) and on newer BIOS it will be listed as "HWP Autonomous EPP Grouping" (or something similar to that). It is in the same screen where you disable C-states, SpeedShit and Intel Dynamic Platform Framework crap. This setting allows Windoze to control CPU behavior to conserve energy at the expense of maximizing overclocked performance. Linux is even more aggressive at doing that and the power management crap requires more effort to manipulate in Linux. (Maybe because European countries are more Nazi-like in their quest to reduce power consumption and Linux is far more common in Europe than the US. Just a guess on my part.) Anyhoo... disabling this setting increases my Cinebench scores by about 600 points and also see higher CPU-Z single and mult-core benchmark numbers. Using the same CPU overclock settings, the Cinebench score is consistently in the 48.2-48.3K range enable versus 48.8-48.9K disabled. With the setting enabled, CPU-Z multi-thread is in the high 20K range (always under 21K) and single thread in the 950 range. Disabled, it jumps up to these values.

@tps3443 - try the above to see if it works for Ryzen the same. Leave tWR on Auto and use the formula above to control tWR using tWRPRE. With tWR set to Auto you should see the actual value displayed (48 in the above example) in ZenTimings. Tweaked a couple more settings to drop latency a bit more. I think I might be looking for another 8800 or 9000 CUDIMM kit in a few months. (I am seeing some indications that DDR5 prices might start to go down soon. Hope so.) For the interim, I think I am going to strip the chrome heatsinks off my new Corsair Vengeance 8800 CUDIMMs and put them in the second Apex on water and put these 8400 G.SKILL UDIMMs in the Unify-X (also on water) since it is not quite as good at memory overclocking as the Apex boards are.

"three strikes and you're out", what do you know karma was not too far behind, a third lady came out the clown car, place your bets... how many are in there?

IMHO, the only place where chinese copy(?) of DreamColor cable for 8770w is available (9996 pcs left): Direct link to AliExpress Warning: his p/n 6017B0352401, so pls click on the correct proposal (xxxxxxxxx301 is the LVDS version). I would venture to guess that owners of the 8570w can also buy it, but then they will have to carefully pull almost all the wiring terminals out of the connector of the mobo's side and rearrange them to the correct positions, according to the GuitarG pinout table. But the cost of an error due to inattention will be significant (pinouts of 8570w and 8770w are very differents), so they will have to take this risk upon themselves. Based on GuitarG's research, I have compiled my own, so far in theory, version of a custom cable for 8770w mobo -> 30 pin eDP. Dear @JadeRover, can you help me check the correctness of my work?.. And one more question for you. Somewhere earlier our GuitarG wrote that he was able to get the 30 pin screen to work, but not the 40 pin screen. In this case, what would be the best way to deal with the microcables of the two left unused pairs of the eDP interface? Just insulate their exposed leads near the 30 pin connector? Or would it be better to pull their wiring terminals from the connector on the mobo side and insulate them near both connectors? Or even pull them out of the cable completely?.. The custom cable pinout for hp 8770w mobo -> 30 pin eDP screen: ---------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not remarkably different. Much easier than Ryzen and not nearly as persnickety. Z890 is mostly different on the CPU-side of overclocking. There is more crap like NGU and D2D that comes as baggage with the new CPU architecture. No, I am not planning on selling the 5090. It is in one of my Z890 Apex builds. I generally use that one for benching with the chiller and it stays turned off most of the time. I just dropped a new 270K Plus into the Z890 Apex with the water-cooled 5080. The other 5080 is the air-cooled Prime GPU on the open bench with the Z890 Unify-X. I need to delid this new CPU, but it will have to wait until my thumbs are healed up. I had surgery on both thumbs... left one last month and right one on Monday, and I do not have the necessary dexterity at the moment. My right thumb is still bandaged up with stitches and the left one is still limited range of motion.

Is memory overclocking on Z890 similar to Z790? Also, did you sell your 5090? Are you running a 5080 and a 5090?

They are about like one of the crappy little Minisforum NUC-sized (a.k.a turdbook in a box) "gaming" PCs, maybe a little less powerful but close. The PS5 is just more expensive, more limited in function, less repairable and more proprietary. So, these G.SKILL 8400 UDIMM kits aren't that great. I have two kits of them (one is a spare part for emergency backup) and their rated speed is close to their max capability. 8600 is still pretty impressive for 24/7 stability, but I got instantly spoiled by CUDIMMs now that I have platforms supporting CUDIMM. It doesn't really make any difference in the grand scheme of things though. Measurable in memory benchmarks, but not much else once you go beyond 8000-8200 it quickly starts to be irrelevant for anything other than bragging rights.

I was looking at PS5 and PS5 Pro specs as we near closer to GTA6 launch! Yeah lol. Console is locked in at 30fps with no performance modes available for 60fps even being an option. Apparently this limitation is due to the games CPU intensive scenarios. And since the PS5 Pro is running something similar to a Ryzen 3700x desktop 8/16 CPU but it’s clocked about 400-500Mhz slower, and only has 1/4 the L3 cache size of a standard Ryzen 3700X. This is why the 30fps cap is required on even the PS5 Pro. Anyways, I just found that interesting how weak-ish the PS5 Pro’s CPU really is.

I'm looking for some help and information regarding the X170KMG. Has anyone actually tried installing an Intel Xeon W-1390P processor in the X170KMG? Does it boot successfully? 我特别想听听在这个平台上亲自测试过这个CPU的人的意见。W-1390P目前价格相对较低，是一个有趣的升级选择。
