Hey y’all! How you all been doing? What’s new? 5090 prices looking kinda crazy right?

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....

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.

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.

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. 😂

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.

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.

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.

So Sorry to hear @Papusan 😞 Speedy recovery brother. Forums wouldn't be the same without you. ❤️

You are in our thoughts and prayers, brother. Get better fast.

They keep trying.....sheesh. Glad @tps3443 didn't get zinged but $2500 for an Astral should be the first warning sign.....

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

Subbed...looking forward to more vids! Same ole Same ole...... Currently on the Arrow Lake fun times.... 5090 still crazy priced with lowest tiered prices starting at $3300 and up. Memory, SSDs still crazy priced. CPUs are supposedly next..... Hope all is well with you and the new business is booming!

I watched the video. Even though they stated multiple times in the video that they are new to 3D printing, it was interesting to watch as they learned about layer heights. Thanks brother!!! Don't be surprised if I make a video about visiting Norway and trying to overclock in the snow LOL. i will definitely be there without my wife, as she hates the cold.

Subbed bro🙂 WVP II won't help on the stupidity mounted on the PSU panels😎 Double up of the stupidity.... 12V-2x6 PCIe-5.1 cable fire: Our GeForce RTX 5090 was hit.

Yes, I think that is a fair price for the world we are living in now. Hard to beat. I am pretty sure I subscribed to your YouTube channel but I don't find it in my gigantic list of subscriptions. What was your channel's name?

Doing well. I hope all is well with you and your family.

yeah naturally i also increased mine with the matrix vbios. as long as temps are in check overcurrent is not an issue, just the imbalance getting my attention.

I have not seen any for pin imbalance, only overcurrent protection, which I fixed by increasing the MVP2 threshold to a higher value in the firmware.

Here is an updated version (core clocks are in the correct format). Set to 2000Mhz (again vrel limit before seing this value) You said the memory was good, it boosted to 2000/4000Mhz ? Because checking again my custom memory clock was not in the expected format, strange that it still worked. I change the memory clock in this _1 version. It is in the expected format in version _1. In version _2 it is in the same format as my last p106m vbios. if you can give both a try that would be good. p106m_OC_checked_1.bin p106m_OC_checked_2.bin

Yep, base clock is now 1230Mhz and boost is now 2000Mhz (you will hit vrel limit before seing this value) Memory is now at 4000Mhz target power is 100w, limit power is 120w and power slider is enabled. Checksum was fixed as well. You can try this @ssj92 teslap6_OC_power_mod.rom

Hello, here is it: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/guide-remove-uefi-image-from-nvidia-vbios/34363?page=1 or ask ssj92 for the help.

Yes, there is a certification issue, might be possible to bypass using OMGvflash by veil for turing cards, any newer cards will not work unfortunately. Pascal works. Even with a hardware flasher it will not work, card will refuse to boot and show error 43.

Just waiting for the grip to arrive. it will be here this week. Once it get it setup I will take a pic of it for you.

hello everyone what is that ? https://github.com/JadeRover/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker

yeah thats hat im afraid of, that its gonna hit me sooner or later, ugh.... aside from the segotep titanload cable that doesnt yet seem to be available anywhere, anyone got suggestions for high quality power cables, preferably with higher than standard amperage rating / AWG? open for suggestions 🙂 otherwise im just gonna stock up with several more seasonic cables and start "binning" them LOL

Yes, I was subscribed. It just got buried in the ocean of subscriptions. I look forward to watching your videos.

Neewer stuff, didn't know anything about that, looks interesting. Post a photo of your setup? Got a p8p to maybe play with :O)

Windows 11 is the most modern, secure, and updated Windows ever—at least that’s what Microsoft keeps saying... Running on 30 years old code, LOL @Mr. Fox In short... Why make the UI/GUI worse when the old works so good?🤔 Windows 11 still runs on code from the 1990s, Microsoft admits

True. I am using Neewer to create a copy of this. I have the rig case, Grip with shutter release, multiple mounts for lenses, filters, etc. I have a LED light and a shotgun mic for my Pixel 8 Pro. Just need a Mic to USB C adapter and I am good to go. That being said, I would ALMOST take the chance on this one because of the hasselblad tuning.

This is my approach atm too. That SP85 270k from you is better (understatement) than my SP83 265k and runs cooler overall to boot which was a pleasant surprise considering I thought that SP83 265k ran so much cooler and better than that trash SP77 265k I sold off. I'm not sure there is much where else to go from here unless on water and/or delid at this point. I am eagerly awaiting Nova and I think I'm going to shut down any/all CPU purchases till then unless a stupidly binned 270k/285k suddenly rears its head and even then....meh. Prices are coming down fast after the initial rush. Newegg has them for $322 and that includes the game AND an Asrock  Pro 850w PSU. Microcenter has a decent bundle deal that has dropped now to $599.99 from the original $649.99 including the 270k + Gigabyte Eagle Wifi 7 Z890 MB + 2x16GB 6400 Crucial kit.

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.

I'm a big fan of BSG Deadlock (unfortunately it's no longer available anywhere) I loved the original TV series as a kid and even the 2004 remake to some extent. Now there is a new contender.

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.

Thanks. Yup, i had a stroke. The mr machine showed that. I need to stay longer now in the hospital and take more tests and the doctors need to find a medicine I need to take rest of my life😢

Fun times. Half the day in the hospital and need to stay here. At the hospital now. The doctors suspect drip(transient/mini stroke). Have to stay here and get blood thinners . Also have to do a CT scan tonight/night and then an MR tomorrow. Have to stay under observation and care. Bad lungs ain't enough 😥

It was one for sure. One of the first things I said when he texted me. Pretty brazen that the scammer even had the balls to call him and speak to him. When scammers get that comfortable and brazen a bullet or knife is the best cure for their filthy and worthless existence.

Brother @tps3443 dodged a scammer bullet yesterday. Glad you were not a victim, Brother T. https://www.overclock.net/posts/29585246/ The scumbag posted the same scam on a Swedish web site. https://www.blocket.se/recommerce/forsale/item/22104267?ci=4

Hmmm. HB couldn't test the new cable for 24 hours to test out Asus claims. This due expensive electricity cost in Cyprus. 1KWh cost around half a Euro. And 600W load x 24 hours would mean about $15. Yet he couldn't afford it. 10 min test is an joke. Why bother at all🤫 And Corsair fail as well.... The CORSAIR ThermalProtect cable is put to the test: can it really prevent RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 cards from overheating? Yup, nothing so far can fully avoid the disaster Nvidia created with the choice of stupidity. The only good to say about the Yellow MSI disaster... 8 pins connectors on the opposite side of the cable so you won't fry (the connectors on) your PSU😀

Sooooo ive had the first incident detected by the WVP II (it already paid for itself just for that!), i was playing Alan Wake II at 4K maxed out with Pathtracing and DLSS Quality and getting a smooth 70-100fps on the matrix vbios. GPU wattage was usually in the range of 650+W, so nothing crazy. GPU temps were fine in the low to mid 60s, with vram hotspot in the low 70s, so far so good. but then the WVP II started beeping, pin current imbalance detected! some crazy values, lowest pin at like 5A with max. at 12-13A O.o alt-tabbed out of the game, checked monitoring data (had hwinfo running in the background), let everything cool off and tried again, got the alarm for a second time. then on the third try pin currents were even and stable again, super weird! cable connector was fine tempwise, saw a max of like mid 50s, nothing to worry about. plus ive got high airflow inside the case going over the gpu connector and the thermal putty applied on the connector pcb location for thermal conductance via the metal backplate. nothing was touched, altered, fidgeted with or changed in any way. rammed that cable into the gpu like theres no tomorrow to ensure full connection and then literally case closed 😋 my usual min-max current gap is in the range of 0,8-1,2A, with some rare instances going to 1,5-1,8 (were talking to like a second each). but never above 2A. and ive been playing and testing with alan wake 2 on the matrix vbios for hours and hours by now, never any issues. this is such an annoying connector! ugh now on the lookout for a potential cable replacement, might as well go with one of the higher rated ones, but definitely not the asus crap 🤣 doesnt make sense though, ive also checked my vdroop and its not even breaching 300mV, its like 220 or so (12.1V at idle to 11.9 under load approx.) from what ive seen on overclock.net thats pretty darn good (seasonic quality, after all). y'all gotten any alerts yet from your WVP Ii? please share!
