Yeah Intel was being dumb. They were not innovative at all. Releasing terrible re-hashed products. And slowly losing bit by bit for years to AMD, seems like they literally let AMD catch up to them slowly over the period since 2017 when Ryzen first hit the streets. They lost the multithreaded crown first, (They still were not worried) then they lost the IPC crown. When the 10900K launched I knew it was gonna be over pretty soon. AMD now sells the most expensive crazy powerful CPU’s you can imagine. Their new Threadripper line-up is amazing! And they’ve been good for some years now. The one thing Nvidia is doing is they are innovating though. The 5090FE is innovation. High quality GPU I thought when I took mine apart. Their factory Liquid metal setup is top notch, incredible cooler solution, we need this on every GPU, cooling 600 watts on a real 2 slot cooler, the 4090 Asus Matrix failed terribly with factory Liquid Metal. The GPU’s are getting faster and killing it at the forefront performance wise. Even last gen 4090 is still the king compared to other brands. Biggest problem is pricing and popularity. It makes it so tough to buy brand new released products when everyone else wants one. It’s a businesses best friend though. And they’ve now grown to #1 richest company in the world. No competition is also very unfortunate. I do not want to see prices rise again on GPU’s. I hope they don’t because no way I can afford something like a RTX PRO 6000, and I feel like we’re headed that pricing direction.

Guys.. We are so screwed. Nvidia is officially the richest company in the WORLD. 😂

Am I crazy for thinking this? I thought GTX10 series was almost 10 years old. Someone help me understand. I would think 7-8 years would be amazing on a piece of hardware lol.

Yep I am very proud to say that I cook that thing, my best score was 17,315 Steel Nomad so essentially +11% faster than the RTX Pro 6000 in that video. Since we cannot get a waterblock for a RTX PRO 6000 very easily unless you had one custom made it makes me not interested in one. And well they are $8,000 dollars lol..You could probably be cheaper to have a 5090 custom modified with 48GB GDDR7. Truth is, they are overpriced..And since we can cook one for 1/4 the price unless someone runs LLMS that thing should never even be considered. I did really want one a while back. Glad that crush finally went away. 😎 🤣

Put some new liquid metal on the laptop CPU. I think it is working as good as it can for micro cooling.

I didn’t see this message before but anyways. Yeah connector has been very reliable so far. This scenario is extremely unrealistic, and this type of load probably will never happen real world. (Hope not) I think anyone shunting a 5090 should run a 12vhpwr or 12v-2x6 that has wires individually loose so they can check each individual wire with an amp clamp. I actually did check mine before the shunt mod. And it was perfectly balanced. But people may have that happen, one wire is pulling like 20+ amps and running 100c+ and it decides to glow red. I haven’t checked the amperage balancing since because I returned my amp clamp to Amazon. (DC Amp clamps are kind of expensive, like $100+ dollars) but yeah I think 5090+block+shunt requires careful setup. But I feel confident with the cable. I really doubt it would melt after seeing what it can do. That’s not to say someone could not ru. My card in their system using some janky old bent up 12vhpwr cable and cook it to death! lol 😂 @electrosoft Would really appreciate a shunt modded 5090fe, (He doesn’t know this) but if you run Steel nomad completely stock MSI AB closed, it cracks 16k Matching or beating a stock RTX Pro 6000. Overclocking can yield another 8% to 8.5%on top of that. 😎 FE does not stand for Founders Edition anymore, but rather could be FE= “Fire Extinguisher” 🧯 This is playing Starfield 4K native which is not too bad.

Our worst power users are central A/C, and now the dehumidifier under the home. We had loads of condensation underneath the house in crawl space from the A/C. So we had to get a dehumidifier hooked up. Fortunately it keeps the home cooler as well. What’s funny is, this means technically I managed to overclock my RTX 5090, and I squeezed more than a whole RTX 5050 out of it. RTX 5050 Steel Nomad FPS=22-23 STOCK 5090FE Steel Nomad FPS= 142 XOC 5090FE Steel Nomad FPS= 173

I know right? SOLID PSU. That what I want to hear. That’s great! I’m just gonna let it do its thing. Furmark 4K Burner is very unrealistic anyways. This only started to confirm if shunt was working properly. Update: Shunt working as intended.

@johnksss I checked and same test shows 1,611 watts at the wall running furmark 4K on my 3.3Ghz 5090FE. My PSU is only a Lian Li Gold 1200 watt unit. So I guess it’s just busting ass really hard. Systems idles at 527 watts.

You know, I think Nvidia put a hit out on poor ole KEFI, he hasn’t been seen since breaking in to NVflasher and allowing all 4090FE’s to be flashed for 1.100v 🤣 So either he’s locked in a room with a bag on his head, or he’s buried somewhere. Also, he killed that poor 4090 with 1,500 watts 🤣. I think the 5090 might be just a little stronger to such high power though, I’ve looped mine in stability test at 900w with no issues at all. Also, I ordered a wall meter, so I’ll be able to test the power consumption TODAY. But I feel pretty confident my power draw results are close. But we’ll see today. It’s throwing “pwr limit” at 570 watts which is about 1,140 watts inside of Furmark 4K at 3,255Mhz. If that’s actually 1400 watts that is terrifying because it means my PSU might just have a very short life.

Do your clocks/voltage drop in Furmark 4K? That is interesting.

I use to have one with my 7980XE system a long time ago, but it stopped working. I don’t really have any interest in a wall meter. If it’s wrong, then it’s wrong.

The 1100w was Furmark 4K. Power consumption in steelnomad reports 400-440.

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.
