    So glad everything is working out this time around! Last time, you had three points of failure to try and diagnose (MB, Mem, CPU), and returning it all was the right call and paid dividends nicely. 6600 is super golden as is 8800 like on Sugi's setup which is bonkers. Makes ya wonder about the second one you have at this point..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This 9850X3D can do 6600 but fails during TM5. 2233 flat out won't boot but 2200 on stock is just fine. Temps are the problem as they were fine the first few days (~74c under CB23 looping load) and now are hitting 95+ from the jump so I will need to pop the Thermal Grizzly Heatspreader and check the liquid metal application. I needed to install some nylon washers on the backplate anyhow to help with the ~2mm z-height differential anyhow for more AIO options as the eK cr240 Nucleus was the only model that allows a deeper hand torque to somewhat compensate but once offset temps will plummet even moreso. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still fighting the urge to install my 270k in my main rig and eat my own chow till Nova or Zen 6 since even on this Dark Hero with a 9850X3D, it is still more of the same just a bit better..... 🤣 I know if installed as my main, it will get real time tuning and TLC....

    In my opinion, it offers excellent value for money. As I mentioned, the thermal pads are basic; I estimate that with a high-quality thermal pad and the fan at maximum speed, temperatures would stay around 65–72°C.

    Hi The very best thing you can do in this case is to close the loop by soldering on shorter heat pipes. As a next step, you could ask someone with a 3D printer to make a simple tube bender, or even buy one and use 5mm heat pipes to bend them as needed and flatten them to the required thickness at the contact (soldering) points. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283251571555 There’s also the option to adjust the fan blades themselves their number and size. The basic idea however is very good. Great work.

    And yes, i was thinkin like adapting a system for each of the cards, i also saw a pub from GuitarG earlier, who wanted a solution just like that. Then i also had an observation that the exhaust air was hot, but not hot enough (like it's not really pulling away much heat), so i might investigate on this also.

    There are also some cables running there, the upper zone is the best i think for fan intake. So PWM from fan 1, 5V et GND from DVD port pins, and yes it requires a brutal haircut ahah, but pretty simple using hot air station. This is the way, i haven't done it yet from my side, but running the laptop without the keyboard for now. Yes, it's an alienware vBIOS i think, not sure though, but running smoothly till now. By hands, pretty simple, but you have to be gentle tho. Why, don't, that why i'm there for😉, Thanks!

    75°C. Unfortunately, there is still no heatsink comparable to the vapor chamber. In my system, the temperature doesn’t exceed 63°C without liquid metal . I’m only using Thermal Grizzly Duronaut, not the newer Duronaut Pro.

    There isn’t a big difference in performance between the 9900K and 9900KS. Even running at 5.0 GHz, 5.1 GHz, 5.2 GHz, or 5.3 GHz on all cores, the performance difference isn’t significant. At most, you’re looking at around 5–10 FPS on average, and that’s only if you can keep the temperatures under control with air cooling. With a closed-loop liquid cooler (AIO), the thermal situation may improve, allowing you to push the CPU further. However, you still won’t gain more than around 12–14 FPS at most.

    So far I have been strictly playing with 1:1 memory tuning. 6400c28 is completely solid even with 2,200 fclk. I think I may even can stabilize 6600 1:1. But it starts to show IMC limits at 6600 (1:1) I just tried 1:2 today for the first time, DDR5 8000 1:2 posted up first try. Even with only 1.400v VDDIO. There was definitely something seriously wrong with my last setup to not work. PS: These are my setting below. I can't seem to get my latency down much. I am wondering if its OS related at this point. I even tried some manual Nitro Path settings. I am on a really old bios 1401 from 05/2025.

    These are the test results. The maximum values recorded here were obtained with the fans running in automatic mode; with the fans set manually to maximum speed, the temperature did not exceed 72°C. The thermal pads I used aren't top-tier; I used mid-quality pads I had on hand for testing purposes. Temperatures could be improved further with better thermal pads and the necessary software fine-tuning. In my opinion, the cooler performs very well.
  16. Selim1905
    These are the average values with the fans at maximum speed. When the fans were on automatic and not running at full speed, I saw peaks around 81–85.

    Hello. Cicichen ebay's chat work but it's been 6 days he isn't answering to me! I have no idea what's happening with the new watercooling powerful heatsink + RTX 40XX compatibility I ordered. I hope he bought the powerful P775 fan I told him to order. So the heatsink could handle easily 220W+ till thermal throttling. Ampere cards have a bad idle in terms of power. I get 18-20W with X-VSION and Clevo cards from that era. However Turing and Ada are sitting at 3-5W! Very efficient.

    Nice work, Not bad. Thats kinda how i was envisaging my dual fan setup to look like. My version was keeping the fan to GPU pipe but also having the inverse like you have for the GPU to second fan. assume all LMP solder joints there. why no primary fan to GPU plate heatpipe? GPU maybe overloading 2nd fans ability to exhaust heat one question, why not have the 2nd fan nearer the SSD bay? (assume due to heatpipes not working in flipped over layout. Also where is your second fan run from, i see the PWM feed from main fain header, but are you using +5v and gnd from DVD? (as 980M install requires a brutal haircut of the DVD port) i planned on taking feed from USB sub-board (that black plastic covered board bottom left) on the underside how is fan intake working? i have a round hole in my DVD bay floor and a grille in my access panel now 🙂 Regards video output is that via internal display on 980M? which Vbios. How did you bend your heatpipes? Apologies for the critique. love the progress youve made.

    Thanks either a 9900K or 9900KS. Can pay 350 to 380€ with shipping fees.

    Yes, I would consider a 9900K running 5.2 GHz all-core at 1.37V fixed Vcore with AVX2 -2 to be a very good chip, definitely above average and potentially a golden sample/top-binned chip. However, the exact bin quality also depends on stability and the test workload, since some chips can pass light benchmarks at that voltage but need more voltage under heavy AVX2 loads. As for where to find one, unfortunately there’s no reliable way to know beforehand. It’s basically silicon lottery. The best option is to find a seller who can provide actual CPU-Z/HWiNFO screenshots and, ideally, proof of stability at 5.2 GHz / 1.37V. If I come across a properly tested 9900K with these characteristics, I’ll let you know.

    Absolutely, 100% greed motivated. It is a predatory maneuver to bankroll a fanatical and maniacal agenda that is not necessary and would fail on its own merits (advancing AI at an illogical pace). It is a plan destined for failure for the same reasons that taxing the rich into oblivion always fails. You eventually run out of other people's money. Then the house of cards collapses. AI is not bad. It is good and useful. The people and companies involved with freakish and obsessive development of it are the problem. Bad company always corrupts good morals. In some ways it resembles the nuclear arms race. You have wicked nations that would abuse it for nefarious purposes, which requires decisive action to keep them in check through the threat of mutually assured destruction.

    The listings provide evidence of extreme scarcity pricing, but they do not establish a new NVIDIA MSRP. NVIDIA has not announced an official price increase for the RTX 5090. The current figures should consequently be described as observed retail listings rather than the card’s new recommended price. Yep, a huge lie. There is no (extreme)scarcity in the whole. So there is no reason to keep prices so high. Zero... Nada. Even though RAM/NAND prices have gone up several times, there is zero reason to price graphics cards +2 times the suggested retail price. This is classic greed and market manipulation.
  24. Mr. Fox
    Awesome. I am glad it was nothing serious with the 9070 XT. The pricing of GPUs and memory is totally inexcusable. It might have been initially due to supply and demand, but it is so far off the rails now that I no longer believe that and think it is part of a fabricated fraud scheme that has been meticulously engineered by exceedingly wicked people, all of whom deserve unspeakable misfortune and destruction to be visited upon them... tragedy on an order of magnitude that makes a Mortal Kombat "finish him" move look like a love pat. Your plan is a smart one. Maximize what you have. I am happy and proud that we are to blame for your wanton disregard for the frugality and functional limitations of air cooling. I've tried to save a few bucks and learn to like it, but in the end it always sucks for more than one reason, and always the same reasons.

    Hi, the system i worked on so far, "working fine" i would say, its a pure copper plate ajusted to the components of the card, i did dig some cavities for "R22" components in it to allow a direct and good contact between the plate and the GPU die of the 980M. At idle i hit 32-33° for the GPU and 46-47° for hot spot with PTM7950, the plate and heatpipe being cool i would say, but then under load the temp continue to spike and hit the 92° limit and the card start to throttle. I think may be its the heatpipes, that i don't cool effectively underload due to a bad alignement with the fins, or not enough heatpipes? And what's happening is that the heat is not pushed outside quick and effectively enough maybe? What you guys think the improvement is there ? Also, can someone confirm that the hotspot on the GPU is also at the level of the Die? Thanks
  26. SuperMG
    Backlight pins are universal. HP cards, standard cards, Clevo cards, all have it at the same pins!
  27. SuperMG
    Hello, You didn't answer to my question Is an 9900K at 52x all core at 1.37V fixed Vcore and AVX2 -2 is a golden sample/top binned or not? New question: do you know where to find one? Thanks.

    The display isnt connected to the egpu, is that simple 🙂
