I don’t have one.

I don’t know how much pwr it’s actually pulling. Never hits pwr limiter anymore, so I’m happy. 12v stays at 12.1v-12.4v underload but that’s based on GPUz/hwinfo.

Doubled

You still have a 4090 right?

Gaming laptops are still very awesome even if it is all BGA stuff. I’ve been playing on my 4090 laptop a good bit lately. Still running good! I thought about installing some thermal pads on it instead of the thermal putty it has.

Hopefully 1,105 watts GPU power holds up then. 😆

The worst thing that would suck about a melted connector is the work and down time..Re-mount air cooler, mail in, then wait forever. 🫠

I never had any issues with melted 12Vhpwr, (Not that I know of) I’m curious if anyone on here melted a connector yet. Sometimes negativity is very good publicity. Der8auer and Gamernexus touched on this before in one of their videos about this connector. We’re definitely reaching in to a new realm of GPU power which is pretty damn extreme to be honest. I know that 8 pin PCIe connectors have melted in the past as well. But unfortunately we now have this 12vhpwr so fingers crossed 🤞 let’s hope 800w+ holds up @Mr. Fox You got to see this video @Mr. Fox (It’s a good laugh)😆

100c on the connector? I wouldn’t trust that. I feel like if a cable is at 100c it could runaway on you quickly. That’s already 212F. But I do remember reading that 100c was okay. I don’t think it’s that chintzy. Pulling 880+ watts on a single wire it’s good. 🤩 We can’t do that on an 8pin unless we like hard power shutdowns. I do think these cables are sensitive though. I think the internet has also just made us really paranoid. So it’s something me and others check now 😕. GPU temp check, memory temp check, wire temp check 🥴

No burning yet. 880w cook out on 20 loops on my FE. Cable reached a whopping 41c at the hottest point. This is a very unrealistic scenario. I haven’t seen any games use this much power as Steel Nomad. Typically gaming is 400-775 watts. Full tilt 3.3Ghz. It’s okay at 880 watts, then gaming is probably fine. Might be okay with the 12v-2x6. 🥳

I do not think it's as fast as other AIB cards. FE has a slight handicap with bios and clock speed. No, I am not really putting that much effort into it I suppose. I do not think I am the right person to push an FE to that level. 🙂

Excellent scores. My goal was only 17K at the end of the day. I wish I had a faster more modern platform with Rebar, and PCIe Gen4/5, but I don’t.. My score is what it is. And even with the cost of the water-block. It’s $1,000 dollars cheaper. So I can absolutely live with a -2% slower graphics card.

Astral on watercooling with EVC2? No way I have a chance here. He’s at least +4% right now with his chiller and extra voltage control. 😎 My bath water is gonna kill me.

Sure, I’ll race you with same water temp. 32c vs 32c. 😁I don’t have my chiller hooked up, I’d have to dismantle my current hardline loop/pumping setup to do so. https://www.3dmark.com/sn/7094707

🤣. You are so right. And this is why. YESSSS SIRRREEEEE 🤣 Cannot resist that FE ASS lol. BTW, I loved RC CARS. My last one was an Xmaxx 8S in 2020, my first one was a Stampede in 1998. 😃 It’s a hobby I’ll get in to every so often for a little bit lol. Pretty fun though. My kids have a few Traxxas Stampedes.
