  1. Hi, everyone. Back from the hospital but I'm still not in good shape as before. It will take some time. Slower talking and the right hand (mouse hand) not exactly where it should be. But hopefully it will be better. Stroke is and have been a terrifying experience. And it scares me. Yep, I am really scared this illness. It takes life and can push you into a wheelchair without you notice it where you can't speak or hear. Not even move yourself. Still a small chance to get second one within the next 3 months. After that a bigger chance to get on live again. I was very lucky as the doctors said, not Being Hit harder. Medication for this shit will help me move forward. And I'll probably have to take it for the rest of my life. And thank you all you good friends for the kind and warming words🙂 Intel Nova Lake Samples Reportedly Begin Shipping With Huge Multi-Core Gains

  6. Hello everyone ! linked is my very very very early version of a pascal to ada lovelace vbios editor. as of right now it can only read bioses !! UPDATE v1.1 enables you to modify clock values and power values. The program fixes the checksum as well, testing needed !! Here is the link, the details are explained in the repository https://github.com/JadeRover/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker Get the latest version from the releases : Releases · JadeRover/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker Pictures :

  7. LMAO - The Bambu Lab fanboys are hilariously bad, like the old Intel fanboys or current AMD fanboys. I deal with it anytime I make a video saying anything negative about Bambu Lab and I own several of their printers, hahaha. Now that Louis is going to war with Bambu Lab (and for good reason), the Bambu Lab fanboys are going out of their mind. 😂

  8. so, opened up my case last night and adjusted the cable connection for both the WVP II into the GPU, as well as the cable into the WVP II (a.k.a. rammed both inside like theres no tomorrow 😄) still saw some imbalance peaks but not enough anymore to trigger the alarm in Alan Wake 2. Started with Black Myth Wukong today, I must say I was surprised to be able and max everything out completely including max RT and DLSS DLAA, running smoothly in the range of 70-80 FPS, with short peaks & dips to 90 and 60 here and there. I guess thats what tuning, OC and a higher power budget gives you 😄 according to all the reviews ive seen they werent able to get more than like 40-50 FPS with everything maxed out, thus DLSS Quality was required, at the least. in any case, thus far i havent seen any imbalance spikes, although power spikes arent as pronounced here as with AW2 before, im almost always voltage limited, rather than power limited. in any case, its been fun thus far, looking forward to dive more into this game with tons of eye candy 🙂 PS: just to be on the safe side, ive got my three other GPU cables at the ready to check and see if any of them would fare better if those imbalance issues start returning....

  9. Thanks brother! My community is mostly 3D printing enthusiasts, but I want to show them how you can mix 3D printing with computing. The guy that is selling me his PC, printed custom Lian Li panel/cable covers for his SFF build. Sure thing. I am going to start off with a desktop CNC machine first, so my waterblock output will be extremely limited, but I will be able to offer custom one-off designs.

  10. If you want to build one for the 5080 Prime that would be sweet in my mATX build. Then the CPU, RAM and GPU would all be custom loop in a SFF chassis, which is extremely rare. The Phanteks XT M3/V3, O11 Mini and Gamdias M4M are only a few SFF cases that are designed with enough intelligence to allow such a build. It allows you to compromise a whole lot less than SFF typically demands. I don't feel like I am missing much or making concessions/sacrifices for the sake of size.

  11. Yeah, he was willing to go cheaper, but I felt bad. Plus he gave it to me with no money down, to inspect it. In many ways, he is the ginger version of me, lmao. As for my channel, https://www.youtube.com/@sliceofmymind While it has been 3D printing focused thus far, with the new look, I am going to pivot to other tech, including PC's. I am just going to talk about the different tech that I love and of course, bring in some commentary on overclocking.

  12. Found a brand new factory sealed Z790 Apex Encore for $400 the other day. Went by and picked it up immediately. Not sure why I wanted it, but I think maybe because I love this 273PQE so much I'll probably put it in that board instead? Maybe I'll just keep it and never open it lol. Figured for the price, for a peak Z790 board and being factory new and sealed I couldn't pass it up. And my never ending hardware addiction continues. 🤪

  14. A valid comparison would me 9700x vs 9800X3D to really see what X3D brings to the table. I do know in FO76 the 9800X3D toasted the 9600x I tested worse than the 14900KS so X3D is magic sauce for some games. Still haven't had time to work with the 270k I picked up from @Talon but I'll get to it soon. The testing I did on the 265k and 5090 was so smooth closer to 13th/14th gen. At 4k the lows are, as always, equal or better than X3D. That has always remained consistent in WoW but not Fallout 76. My wife took my Alienware 4k OLED as an upgrade from her 1440p Asus IPS and I started using a new 3rd gen Asus flat matte OLED which I prefer over glossy curved (she actually prefers curved). So having been running WoW at 4k on both, even with details dialed down the 9070xt is almost constantly pegged at 99-100% everywhere in WoW but what I do notice also is the 5090 spends a lot of time well above 80% utilization and many times close to 90% so WoW is definitely giving it a workout on the level that would make a 4090 or below GPU bound at 4k in many instances. The 9950X3D2 is useless for WoW and DOA for the vast majority of price/performance tasks. $900 for 2-3% better performance on average over a 9950X3D..... At this stage of the game, 270k is the price/performance king overall and depending on games/resolution and some tuning, it is even the better pick over X3D chips for gaming (situational gaming scenarios notwithstanding of course). It isn't pretty over here..... I keep exacting YoY budgets and the cost difference from 2024 to 2026 in what I'm paying across the board is pretty telling from groceries to eating out and more. Yeah, I used PL on my 7950X3D and MSI 7955HX3D. Never heard of CPUSetSetter since I haven't been on a dual CCD in quite some time. Let's see how AM6 pans out..... Looks like Galax might be safe.....was always part of Palit since 2007... https://videocardz.com/newz/palit-releases-statement-galax-kfa2-and-hof-brands-are-to-stay

  16. Relying upon Windoze scheduler, GameBar/XBOX bloatware or AMD drivers isn't going to produce consistent results. I don't even try. I decide for myself and choose the behavior manually using CPUSetSetter. It works fantastic if you haven't already tried it. I create hotkeys and can test on the fly to see in realtime what CPU core mask works best.

  17. Finished testing the Matrix 800W vBios yesterday, basically grabbed top spot in all included benches except for like 2 or so, very consistently beating the Gigachad vBios! All in all, Im currently looking at +71-72% above 4090 stock and roughly +16-17% above 5090 stock, not bad! Gotta love the upgradeability and tuning ability of desktop systems 😄 Now moving on to the Lightning vBios versions, not sure yet if ill also test the XOC versions from Asus and MSI... Monitoring and logging via the WVPII makes things way more relaxed tbh 😄 so far looking good, connector stays very cool, max ive seen thus far was like in the mid 50s, with the inbuilt fan barely starting to spin at that point. still have to do a deepdive on the data collected for the Matrix vBios, gonna do that for every vBios tested so I have a good overview of what kinda wattage my cooling could manage long term 🙂

  19. I am trying a different PSU cable to see if that helps, so far it’s a 6/20 loops in Steel Nomad 🙏. Previous cable was a Lian Li 12vhpwr to 12vhpwr. Now I’m trying a 2x8pin to 12vhpwr. If this fails I will try another PSU. I cleaned the PCIe slots with MAF automotive cleaner. It’s great! It leaves behind zero residues unlike how alcohol can. I pulled all (12) ram sticks and cleaned those as well. I’m thinking CPU socket pins could be suspect as well if a new PSU+cable doesn’t resolve the issue. Maybe the shunt modded 5090 was just too hard on the little 1200 unit or its cable…😂 Would be curious to just test both cards and see which is the best!!!

  20. Just an update. I have another issue going on with my computer.. Both 5080’s crash and lock up my PC. Yes I bought a brand new one from Newegg lol. (Now I have two) I am not sure what it could be. My system was perfectly fine when I unplugged my 5090 at the very end of 02/2026. Now here I am in 05/2026 and it’s locking up after 5 minutes of rendering anything 3D. I have two functional 5080’s it seems. Maybe bad PSU? I have ran R24 and Ycruncher and those run fine .

  21. The fact you suffered several small strokes and escaped relatively unscathed is such a blessing. Your body is telling you to get that stress and blood pressure under control ASAP. Even if your BP runs high the medicines will greatly slow stiffening of the arteries and sudden spikes. That is the real magic of them for potential strokes and heart attacks. My mom had a small stroke at 59 because her sugars were high (A1c = 13+), cholesterol through the roof (300+) and blood pressure through the roof (190/100+) daily due to no exercise and a horrific diet along with bad medicine management and genetics. She figured she could eat whatever she wanted and just had to slam a needle full of insulin into her leg and that would do the trick. She actually went into a coma for two weeks. Testing showed she had suffered many small strokes undetected at the time. Came out scared, followed the program religiously dropped weight, got much healthier then 4 months later fell off and went back to her old habits even though was on her like cold on ice but to no avail. Gained back all the weight plus some extra. A year later she suffered a major stroke, lost all function of her left side, impaired speech and passed away a few months later. She was 60. This is the time you take control brother. Genetics are what they are, but you control how you move and what you eat. If you're a smoker, time to quit. Heavy drinker? Time to cut back. Time to get that diet under control, get your medicines sorted out and come back as @Papusan 2.0 meaner and grumpier! 🤣❤️

  22. Thank you for the update, brother. I am glad they are helping get things under control. The reason hypertension is often called "the silent kiler" is because it sneaks up on you quietly and usually has no symptoms. No, it is never any fun waiting to see if treatment worked. I know exactly how unpleasant that feels and can empathize. The cycle of test > treat > wait > retest sucks. The anticipation of the unknown is psychologically difficult and time changes from seeming to fly to a slow creep. The important thing is that they discovered the need and action is being taken. That is a blessing to you and all that know and love you.

  24. Thank you for the update, brother. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. We are reaching an age where things like this can really be stressful (emotionally and financially) for us and our loved ones. Our mortality becomes more evident to us and we become thankful for small things we once took for granted. Circumstances like this have the potential to strengthen our faith or produce uncertainty, fear and doubt. Keep the faith, brother. We are standing with you in spirit as you walk through this thorny pathway.

  25. @Mr. Fox and @electrosoft I almost sent the money for that scammer 5090 Astral. I had talked to the guy on the phone and he made me feel super comfortable. It’s crazy to even say that lol. But I held back waiting for proof of ownership. And once I saw the pic, I knew something was seriously wrong. Also, I asked chatGPT if the photo was found anywhere online or if the photo was even real. (The floating paper pic lol) ChatGPT said “This is a real photo” 😂😂😂 this didn’t help. Anyways, I ended up getting a Zotac Solid OC 5080 for 1K cash locally just a few hours ago. 5090’s are just wayyy too extreme price wise for me. My system was setup for a water cooled GPU, so I just threw a D5 pump and top in there to allow water to pass through. Flow rate is EXTREME with (5) D5’s and no GPU 😂 online image resizer with hosting I also sold my laptop! I came up with this idea on Saturday to sell it and help fund a 5090 and alleviate the extreme blow for such an extraordinary expensive item. So I listed it for $1,500 bucks. Selling my laptop put me in a really really good position to buy a 5090 now, but even then, I couldn’t grasp the idea of doing it. Then my wife caught wind of me messaging people on FB Market place and making offers. And that idea of dropping 3K was all over with at that point. 😭 Anyways. Gaming on a laptop just isn’t for me. I don’t like the power limits, and the thermal limits. I really love the idea of a laptop. But when it actually comes down to it. It’s just really kinda lame. It worked fine for working from for about 3 months. Update: This Zotac 5080 is insane how well it undervolts. I tried the Gigabyte 5080 Master bios(Does not work drivers won’t load) then flashed the Zotac Extreme bios (This worked great) card maxed out of 1060-1065mv voltage. I am running 2,955@0.895mv. SUB 200 watts in games. It is pretty astounding how well it’s undervolting. Lots of fun 🤩 abnormally efficient GPU that’s for sure. This is roughly a +400 offset, it has some more room I think. Hope you are feeling okay @Papusan have a great night everyone!

  29. I will say this much. After all that I learned about 3D printing, a lot of it will apply to CNC machines. Hopefully, I'll get my first one within the next 6 months and when I do start producing waterblocks, I want certain members in this thread to be the first beta testers.

  30. Interesting couple of weeks. First, I am really focusing on my YT channel for the first time in years. Met some interesting people, notably one guy that we quickly became friends. Started with one message about a 3D printer he was selling on Facebook and now he's like my most supportive subscriber. I have his PC on consignment to see if I can sell it or keep it myself (7800X3D, 4080, 32GB of 6000MTs DDR5, x2 2TB SSDs - one is a Samsung 990 Pro), all contained in a SFF build for $1700. In normal times, this used PC would cost around 1000 to 1200, but I thought $1700 was a fair price. Would do you guys think? I forgot to add, he threw in a 32 Ultrawide Samsung monitor (VA panel, smart TV like), set of good speakers and a razor headset.

  31. Glad to know the GPU side is very well designed, but.... Ugh, skimping on the PSU side on a $50 cable.... As we move on, unless something changes I can see OCP PSUs being the future across the board as a standard feature on all high tier PSUs. Now we have this to bounce off of @de8auer's incoming break down and analysis of the cable too.... ----------------- Sugi finally went full chiller hybrid setup. I like how the rad / chiller are in their own separate place aka balcony.....

  32. Hello eveyrone, Ok so this problem applies only to MXM gpus that have a "pwr" limit (as well as "thrm" limit sometimes) in GPU-Z when doing a benchmark. This is also known as the "40w power bug" Such example : Notice this is not due to hitting the power limit of the card (33% of TDP). Symptoms of the low power bug is a TDP usage around 50% = 40w if you have a TDP of 80w. I think I found the issue. It has to due with a digital signal that is sent to the GPU, the PWR_LEVEL signal : A previous fix was to block the SMB_DAT or SMB_CLK signal so that the EC chip of the laptop wouldn't be able to communicate with the MXM dGPU. This has the disadvantage of stopping all data communication between EC and MXM dGPU = no more thermal data coming in = EC usually ramps up the GPU fan to maximum. According to MXM 3.1 documentation : This signal is not mendatory and it does apply some kind of power reduction when enabled. Therefore I took a gamble and decided to cover it up and see what happens. My fix is to block off the PWR_LEVEL pin with a bit of tape. - I first put some normal paper scotch tape on my plastic desk (to get it nice and flat during cutting process) - I cut it into a thin strip with a very sharp cutter(width of MXM pin) - I removed it from my plastic desk, then applied it with tweezers. The pin is the 9th counting from the first "thin" pin, on the TOP of the MXM module aka side of the MXM gpu where there is the actual GPU die : It's okay if you cover up the 8-5th pin as well as these are reserved pins (no connection inside a laptop) I did this on my dell precision 7720 with GTX 1060M and this has so far resolved the issue, my card can now boost to 100w thanks to the modded bios. Hope this helps someone !

  33. 165fps does seem pretty high unless he is light on addons or not active during the really busy times. I also cannot really buy the 142fps (9800X3D) vs 98fps (9950X) either. I wonder if WoW had its threads across both CCDs. Back when I tested the 7945HX3D it seemed like the drivers + Game Bar mode did not always pin the game to CCD0 so I resolved to just using Process Lasso. 285K in simple 200S boost mode continues to outperform any laptop or desktop chip I tested in the past. No lag or stutter even in the busy areas or raids. His article also has no mention of Arrow Lake which was a pretty mature platform by late 2025 so at least worth a paragraph of discussion in my opinion.. I guess a 9950X3D2 is probably not going to give a meaningful performance boost in WoW either.

  34. Even NWR was impressed with the level of dedication to pass off a clearly stripped 4090 as legit.....visually. You've got to test hardware, period. Unless you know the person, test test test and implement a few other safety measures too like location, access to power to test and securing the item once tested good to avoid a bait and switch. If you can meet at a public swap area at a police station, always use that location. Back during the Cryptodemic, buddy was all excited about a killer 3090 Asus deal on local FB. I told him to insist on meeting at his local police station swap area and he agreed. Seller tried everything possible to NOT meet at the police station even though he was local too so he smartly passed on that one. I've also used Starbucks before to meet up and test hardware because they have plenty of outlets inside. It helps if it is a local Starbucks and they already know you. I used Barnes and Nobles a few times too to quickly test hardware. Let the seller know you WILL be testing the hardware on premises in your own hardware and it will be staying in there after testing and payment (Zelle, PP or Venmo FF) is then tendered. Unless it is a safe area don't use cash or you end up like my college roommate's friend who lived on campus too who met off campus to buy a Macbook Duo and ended up getting robbed. I tried to warn him to do it on campus in the common areas but nope.....off he went and received a pistol whipping and $2k lighter pockets. I remember being in Hong Kong years ago and watching an American lady who was traveling in our group get baited and switched on a high end camera at a downtown store. Funniest thing was watching the sales person who was speaking very passable english suddenly couldn't speak english when she called the police. Police told her there wasn't much they could do as it was her word against his. Lucky for her she used an Amex and was a long standing member. I helped her call her credit card right then and there from a payphone, explain the situation and they immediately put a hold on the transaction. Found out later when she got home they sided with her and told her to mail back the camera with proof of delivery so she did. The store actually called her from Hong Kong and tried to curse her out and insist she had to repay the transaction.....lovely yelling at a 65yr old lady.....classy. Welp...... 🤣

  35. Cost per performance is grossly in the 270k's favor vs both the 9950X3D and 9950X3D2..... Hey, at least MSI didn't angle it to the side like Sapphire did with the Nitro+ 9070xt introducing a needed bend to work in an already fragile connector...... -------------- I am on Intel's side with this one. Just like GPU optimizations where we sometimes have a clearly slower GPU like the 9070xt sometimes hanging with even the 5090 in some instances due to a lack of optimizations along with being optimized for AMD. Even if they went back to monolithic, that doesn't mean games couldn't be optimized to target the subtle (and not so subtle) nuances of each chip and quite frankly just in general. Too many sloppy ports not putting in the work till after release if at all.... Matrix is the sweet spot and I agree. WIth the WVP2, it gives you a sense of safety and monitoring both visually, audibly and within HWInfo. The wired shutdown function if desired is also nice. I do like seeing the little fan icon start to spin.... 5090 is clearly a beast as is vs 4090 and with the Matrix vBIOS it just extends that quite nicely. I do tend to run at stock during the warm times because the 5090 can quickly turn my computer room into a sauna just like the OC'd 4090 and 3090ti did. Plus WoW and FO76 rarely cap out the 5090 especially FO76. Who would want to DDOS notebooktalk? That's odd........

  38. Hilarious.... He is really trying to milk the "pain and suffering" (in his mind) component of this transaction. NZXT offers him a brand new Astral sourced or original MSRP. Methinks he wants the cash value of current retail pricing along with the MB cost (vs RMA) AND wants to retain his old Astral to have his cake and eat it too. Greedy.

On February 27, NZXT accepted the customer’s own counter-offer of $4,378. He then added new conditions and did not sign. — NZXT This statement changes the picture around the case and suggests NZXT made a stronger effort to resolve it than the original Reddit post indicated. Based on the company’s account, it is not immediately clear why the customer rejected an offer at that level.

  41. Man, so far GrapheneOS seems amazing. We grow numb to the hooks companies like Google, crApple and Micro$lop get set into us and we stop even noticing until it's completely gone. I have to use some of this cancerous crap for work, but having it quarantined in a sandbox and in a completely separate secondary user profile that I log out of and Google Services having control of nothing at the OS level is sweet. GrapheneOS even has its own geolocation service that Google can't touch. You have to deliberately opt-in for the Google Nazi surveillance stuff and you can change your mind later. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play Looks like Motorola phones will soon have out of the box support for replacing consumer Android with GrapheneOS. That will be nice since right now the only phone supporting it is Google Pixel (which still seems incredibly ironic and may not last forever if enough people start saying yes to a Google-free phone). Edit: here is where I screwed up on the Micro$lop account that I am locked out of... I use MFA and passwordless accounts. On my other three Micro$lop accounts I had three recovery emails and my phone for proof of identity. On the account I am locked out of I had only one recovery email listed. To reset the authenticator you must prove your identity two ways, create a password to access the acount and then change it back to passwordless access after the authenticator is working again. You also get a recovery code with the passwordless setup. For whatever reason the Micro$lop service that handles phone codes and the static recovery code are "not available right now, please try again tomorrow" and today is the third day. The other accounts I was able to get codes at multiple email addresses to reset the authenticator. When I regain access to the account I am locked out of I am going to add at least two more recovery emails to that account like I have with the others so that I do not have to rely on a recovery code or phone text code.

  42. I was about to ask the same. I had to return a WireView Pro that would not work with my 5090. I had similar issues. But, zero problems with the WireView Pro 2. It has been awesome. I am going to buy another one for my 5080, but have been waiting to see if they will become available on Amazon. I think maybe the original WireView and WireView Pro may not be up to the task of handling the extreme power draw of a shunted, overclocked and EVC2-modded 5090 or one with a high power limit like the Matrix vBIOS.

  43. Yes! Very very hard to buy a 5090. That guilt is STRONG after buying one too. Today’s prices are nuts. 5080 is a value and gets the job done!! Gone are the days of high end affordable GPU’s. It’s a rich man’s club now. EDIT: So happy I found the issue! When that 2nd brand new Zotac RTX 5080 locked my PC up, I was concerned and relieved at the same time. Relieved that the RTX 5080 was not defective. But also worried what the issue could be. The bad cable was ran daily on a shunt modded 5090FE, so it must have took the cable out I guess. What’s weird though, is I had no issues running the 5090FE up until the day I pulled it from the system. So I think maybe it sitting it just degraded? It’s so weird. I’m going to do some testing now and see which is the best GPU! I would prefer a low voltage low power queen if I had to pick. I don’t know what all the fuss or hate about Zotac is either. Both of these cards are built incredibly well. I had a Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC, and that thing felt like a Dollar General toy lol. 😂 these cards feel nice and look very high quality.

  44. Yeah 5090 is certainly fast in Forza, that’s really good though. But man +60% for triple the cost. I’m thinking 1K 5080. VS. 3K 5090. AI has pushed these things to crazy price tags. We got to beg to pay 3K cash for one on FB Market place lol.

  45. Hi everyone, Unfortunately, the mod requested by DJDan is very complex. It also requires a good understanding of the P870xx series architecture. Nevertheless, Rainer is right, and I agree with him. Everyone wants extensions and modifications without realizing how much time, work, and money it all costs! My GFX extension for the two MXM ports (MXM board) automatically supports x16 lanes. That would be the easiest way to implement 16-lane support on the P870xx. But then you can also install the latest graphics cards—provided they fit geometrically—from practically all current manufacturers like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. I think that’s quite something. I’m currently developing the internal flex PCBs for the display and external display. I’d like to extend my thanks once again to Darius. He was the only one who provided me with the RTX 5070 Ti for the project! Thanks also to everyone in the forum for all the support for my projects! And Rainer has also played a huge role in my projects and their practical implementation. That was very important for the further insights and next versions of my boards!!! Greetz Developer79

  47. 100% - if you're not first, you're last. They're no longer first. At least not in my playbook and mine is the only one that matters. Screw 'em... I don't care what they want or think about anything.

  48. I remember the day that I believed that people who said Linux was the future were nuts. Little did I know their statements were a prophecy. The only thing nice I can say about Micro$lop is that I am glad it is "not my circus, not my monkey" LOL. Quite the circle jerk the Redmond Reprobates have become. It used to make me feel sad that they have become such a sucky outfit. I can honestly now say that I really don't give a rat's butt and hope that crApple and Micro$lop both end up going drowning in the cesspool they have created and choking to death aspirating their own feces. Both companies are producers of digital rubbish.
