They do look pretty awesome. All of them. I miss HEDT platforms. The most fun I ever had with overclocking was X299. CPU and memory overclocking was epic.

 

I won't be doing anything with computer stuff until I find work though. Lots of applications out and a couple of opportunities that look very promising. A lot of email generated rejections without an adequate review of my qualifications, most likely based on my age (even though that is illegal). I may end up redoing my resume and dropping out the first 20 years of my career history to keep my age concealed from AI filtering and biased recruiters.

Oh yeah I agree, I just enjoy dreaming from time to time, I personally cannot afford any of these CPU’s right now lol. Hopefully you find something soon though employment wise. I’m about to be right there with you. I’m ready to move jobs. I’ve been employed with same company for over 5 years now. Have been making the same money for the last 4 years of that, but my qualifications and workloads have changed substantially to doing more and more. It’s just not sustainable anymore.

Nice! That's going to really be awesome. You're much safer going that route than ordering it from a vendor outside of the US because of how incompetent the shippers are (or dishonest creeps) when it comes to grossly overcalculating tariffs. So many horror stories of victims being charged 2 or 3 times more than the actual tariff. There will be a special place in hell for the folks that do that. I believe it is intentional. but it could just be incompetence. You know they are not giving the "extra" money collected to the government, they are just padding their wallets with the excess collected "by accident" from consumers victims. 

 

This is pretty dang impressive.

 

 

New TRX50 Threadrippers are the absolute best chips available. Intel is supposed to be dropping their equivalent at some point. But nothing yet.
 

I’d want one of the 9970X chips which are 32/64 cores.
 

And don’t forget the Threadripper 9980X 64/128, people are hitting 150,000 in R23 with those chips on air cooling at just 5.1Ghz, and they can push MUCH more on ambient custom water cooling. For $4,500 USD street price.
 

Now, if someone is gaming and needs lots of CPU power, the Threadripper 9980X kinda sucks. Too many cores. And not really viable. Games just don’t handle it as well. I think Process Lasso might fix this though. 
 

This is where the 9970X 32/64 comes in, these chips clock super high. And they absolutely throw down in gaming with performance comparable to the standard 9950X Ryzen chip, and some random outlier results with even better performance than the 9950X. This is where the 9970X will outpace the 9980X though. I have seen a comparison and it gets oddly obliterated in the 1% lows. Even in heavy multithreaded loads we see the 9970X pull ahead of the 9980X. This makes the 9980X only about +25% faster on average. So I really think the best balance is 9970X (32/64) 

I do not recommend the Threadripper pro chips at all for any gaming due to the OCTO channel memory which will double bandwidth, but also double the latency. (who would? lol)😂 
 

I think the entry level TRX50 is excellent with amazing future upgrade ability for YEARS. 
 

I love these big brute systems. My current Dominus Extreme and w3175x performs great in gaming and all of my work apps. But that’s the end of the line. There is no newer higher core count drop in CPU which is unfortunate. And that’s where I think a TRX50 motherboard really shines. Someone could snag a 24/48 9960X for now, and in 5 years they could drop in a 9980X when it’s more in range price wise lol.

Yes, you should be good to go. If you can afford it, buy the EKWB 90° rotary fittings, as they are more durable.

 

I edited my posts above several times so you may have been shopping between edits.

Absolutely lol. Those cheaper 90's will leak. I have seen some brand-new one's leak if any sideways pressure is applied due to weight of a hose or something, and the swivel gets STIFF. The last time I had one leak, I found a small puddle on the back of my 5090FE when it was on air cooling. The scary thing is, I am still using some of them in my build in random places lol. (Those have not shown any signs if

leaking and my loop fortunately holds air, but if I could go back I probably would not have used the cheaper 90’s)

@Reciever Maybe add another pump D5 with the basic top only in the near future in case one fails. The extra pressure and flow allow you to not depend on running 1 single pump at 100% for good performance. Those big rads like flow. Then you can run more pumps and lower speeds or on a PWM profile. Mine are setup where all (4) pumps fall to 20% speed when the CPU is below 50c. If CPU goes over 50c, it means my GPU is pushing some frames, or I am running a load lol. 

With 1 pump, you can run it on the auto/lower PWM RPM, let the water temp reach equilibrium under a full system load, then unplug the pumps PWM, the pump will shoot up to max RPM or max flow rate. You will then see the temps drop on all of your components. This alone tells us more flow will be beneficial. My system still does this with (4) pumps all running at a lower speed on auto with PWM plugged in. Then if I crank them to 100%, I will see everything fall in temps.

That's a nice kit you have assembled in the cart though!

In regards to voltages and 5090s, in the same vein as I was asking awhile ago here about subjecting naturally lower voltage cards to forced, higher voltages via EVC2 or now with the XOC. There is a reason cards are coming off the fab binned at various voltages and qualities:

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9800X3D vs 265k at all thee resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 2160p)

 

Pay particular attention to the 1% and .1% across all the results:

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Is there a review out on this stuff comparing it to other pastes along with other LMs and PTM?

 

 

There is not, but I cannot count the tubes of standard liquid metal I have used over the years. And it does not last long. Of course it will last some time, but it loses its cooling ability. And the first sign is loss in stability. It feels just like degradation. 

 

No more stickers! Looks Much better. I don’t know why I have always left those on laptops before. 
 

Anyone using Liquid Metal needs to try some of the Supercool Liquid Metal. It has changed my mindset completely. The stuff just doesn’t degrade like other Liquid Metal’s do. 
 

It doesn’t perform quite as good as Conductonaut Extreme, but longevity is the best I have ever seen with Liquid Metal. And I will easily take the +2c worse temps for better longevity. This is one of the main reasons I have not hard lined my 5090. Radiator Fan speed really doesn’t matter if your delta sucks. And so far I have held 8c@400 watts and 12c@600 watts. 
 

This is +565@935mv the fans are all turning 1300rpm which results in a 38c GPU temps, with 30c water. 
 

It has already been 3 months since I applied the Liquid Metal. 
 

I have re-pasted Liquid Metal so many times, and degraded Liquid Metal so many times. This stuff is really a miracle TIM! I also re-pasted my Acer Predator 18” 4090 laptop with it too. Excellent LM. It’s like the mix is different on this LM, and drying out or any reaction from gallium and air is slowed or doesn’t happen at all. I’ll be curious to see what 6 months looks like. But typically for me at 3 months mark any other Liquid Metal would already be degraded and a loss in temps or instability is present at the previous overclocks. 
 

The new Threadripper CPU’s are so awesome, been doing some reading on those lately. They have improved IPC so much so, that I do not think it’d be even worth picking up a prior gen Threadripper 7960/7970/7980. 
 

This is how the new chips stack up in Cinebench. 
 

TR 9960X CB R23: 59,000 stock

TR 9970X CB R23: 77,000 stock
TR 9980X CB R23: 113,000 stock

(People with custom loops are overclocking 9980X 64/128 chips to 5.5Ghz on all cores which is just pure insane to imagine how crazy that is and how over the top beastly)

Apparently the 9970X is the sweet spot. 
 

Now here’s where it gets interesting. These chips can run fast DDR5. People were already pushing DDR5 6200-7000 with the older 7960x/7970x/7980x. The new Threadripper 9000’s run DDR5 6400 natively and apparently the IMC is worlds better. And they can easily handle DDR5 7200 right out of the box. Tuning will probably net you closer DDR5 8000 or more. 
 

What a shame DDR5 prices have gone hay wire. Anyways, AMD Threadripper is sick.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to hold onto the 16 Pro Max as long as possible till a member needs an upgrade. Sheesh, 2TB model? Really? That's crazy storage!

 

You should come back and run Ultra or AM5 bro! Something new and different. 🙂

 

Come down the rabbit hole with us! 🤑 With no new hardware on the horizon, it's time to play and tweak either AM5 or Ultra which will undoubtedly be faster than your current setup for gaming as a bonus and harness that 5090 even more.

I know man a 2TB iPhone is pretty wild. People do not believe this, but Verizon had a promotion and the 2TB model was $599.99 over 3yr period. 🤯
 

Anyways, I don’t think I’m gonna change my rig yet. I play 4K, so I’m always GPU bottlenecked anyways. 

But I’m gonna be watching the upcoming hardware. The 9950XD2, and 290K, and hopefully Intels new LGA1900 platform? I’m content for now at least. 

Physx support is suddenly back to RTX50 series GPU’s. Very odd seeing this.
 

Only thing I can think, is maybe Jensen him self sat down to play Metro Exodus EE, and was like “WTF Where’s the Phys-X support for my RTX PRO 6000?” And he makes a phone call, and they send him a new driver enabling Phys-X 32bit on Blackwell GPU’s. And he goes right back to playing his game. 😂
 

I seriously can’t see them enabling this older tech for any other reason. 🤷‍♂️
 

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpu-drivers/nvidia-reinstates-32-bit-physx-support-for-rtx-50-series-as-part-of-its-latest-game-ready-driver-rollout-9-titles-included-in-initial-release

This was Gskill 8200’s at 8800c40 Ycruncher HT on, and only 1.485v. They would do the 90min as well. They could also do it with less voltage. These same rams on another CPU would require 1.485v for just 8600 speeds and still not run VST lol. My Gskill 7200’s responded identically only needing +0.010 more mv. After seeing this, I learned that most DDR5 kits are ahead of their time. And our CPU’s are not. 🤭

I even convinced myself, "Just keep it budget!" and literally the first memory wall I ran up against I just went, "Nope, have to make sure memory is never the issue," and went memory hunting all morning local (+150 miles) and online still I found those somewhat decently priced 9600 sticks to rule out memory being the issue.

 

That is my final form objective to finely tuned G2 8600 or 8800 while testing upper limits even in G4 (gross) just for testing purposes.

 

This is how the rabbit hole starts....everytime....for me. 🤣

 

I haven't checked yet. I usually shoot right to IMC/memory checking and since the Strix-A is rated up to 9066, that and the 9600 sticks will let me comfortably focus on memory but after this initial dial in period (Right now, 8200 is coming down the home stretch comfortable so I'm thinking it is the sticks at this point but I'll be adjusting IMC/VCCSA next), I'll move to CPU OC. It is a 265k, so I'm not holding my breath....

 

 

Do you think you'll be able to dial it in for D2D use or will it be relegated to benching only and just use the stock Astral LC vbios? At least fans work so that's a plus!

 

 

Nice snag!

 

I think we've all wrecked hardware over the years. I know I have in this crazy pursuit.

 

Yeah, picking up used 13th/14th gen CPUs is a crapshoot especially if they have been run before newer bios that add in voltage protections. See if he can get Intel to replace it first.

 

 

lol, no I'm sticking with my 16 pro max for at least another year. I tend to only upgrade when someone on the family plan ages out of iOS updates and the phones trickle down. Last year my wife finally aged out with her X, so she got my 14 pro max and I picked up a 16 pro max. My kids are on 11 pro and 11 pro max and I'm not sure if they'll make the cut next year so I might be upgrading to a 18 pro max but we'll see.....I'm sure my duaghter won't tolerate not being able to upgrade her iOS so that would be at least one.

 

What are you running now?

 

 

It will remove memory sticks from the equation basically especially with that Apex and 285k and knowing how high @Talon was able to run it with his 9600 sticks in G2. Tuned 8600 is a massive uplift over 6400.

 

 

That doesn't bode well (on top of already bad market conditions at least in the US) for 5090 prices and availability. Plus with the market going bonkers, 2026 will be an interesting year. At this rate, new 6000 GPUs from Nvidia definitely aren't launching till 2027 along with AMD. Might as well settle in for another year+ of 5090 dominance......

 

 

 

Are there similar reports on the Phantom 1600w? Newegg has the Phantom for $199.99. I have the MSI AI1300 but never had designs on using that with the 5090 but instead the Nitro+ for my daughter's buildout 2.0. I also have a spare EVGA P2 850w I could use.

 

I was thinking of replacing my EVGA P2 1600w w/ the Asrock 1600w Phantom for the native 12v2x6 connectors when my Wireview Pro 2 arrives and it seems to holding it down over on the OCN forums for some serious benching.

 

 

Be careful not to fall in the expensive binned ram rabbit hole. Most all rams can run 8600c36 or 9000c40 if IMC allows. If the motherboard will boot at high speeds in bios, this means your ram sticks and motherboard are capable of such a speed. So if it post in bios or windows but it’s not stable for daily, your IMC is the limit here. If it doesn’t load in to the bios, then it’s a memory/board issue and better memory/board/voltages/timings might help. 
 

I’m on a 17Pro max 2TB.

I had a 13 pro max for over 4 years previously though, gave to my son. iPhones will survive the good fight lol. 😂 

@electrosoft Did you upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro Max yet?

Thank you! I ordered 2x of the QD2 male and female fittings. Already shipped, hope to get the build done by next week. Any recommendations on tubing? I might need to order something different than what they shipped because it looks a bit short. 

I set up a drain on my most recent build mainly due to size and weight of my case. It’s very easy to maintain though. And I use QD3’s with the drain. So I can flush without moving my PC.
 

I think the most important thing is just to flush everything out really well before setting up the loop. Otherwise all of those tiny debris will collect inside of your cold plate fins. And you will see them after 2 months in your cold plate. And be like (What is that) This reduces flow rate as well. Then you gotta tear everything down and take the block apart. So I advise to go heavy on the flushing before assembly, and after. 
 

Another thing I recommend is running more than 1 pump. If one fails, it won’t even matter. Not just that but the 5090’s LOVE high pressure flow with ambient water. I might demonstrate in a video. I run (4) pumps currently, and while you don’t need that many, it’s nice because we can run them all low and slow and maintain high pressure in the loop, until the wattage starts getting up there. You won’t be disappointed with two pumps that’s for sure. 

One more thing: Many people do not realize this, you can use whichever G1/4 on the rads as the inlet or the outlet, it just does not matter. However, depending on the port you use, make sure the fans are blowing the correct direction based on which port on the rad is the inlet and which side is the outlet. I learned a lot about this from HWlabs guru on overclock.net, It makes a difference. There is a very small water temp advantage by setting this up the correct way. 
 

 Make sure your loop does not leak. It’s not like what people think and water comes dripping or leaking out, soft tubing is easy and unless you receive a fault radiator or fault block it’s not gonna leak. But you can have a leak and never see water at all, but what happens is your loop is pressurizing your system with air and you’ve got tons of micro bubbles everywhere. Instead of water coming out and dripping it leaking, it’s slowly pulling air in. And removing the fill port sounds like opening a soda bottle lol.
 

I know you said you were running a smaller self contained setup, but still all of this stuff applies and may be useful for you. Another thing is, don’t cheap out on fans. After doing this you’re gonna end up expanding pretty fast afterwards probably. That’s what happen to me. I bought an expandable AIO, and went haywire from there.

It's all crazy. Have you checked DDR5 prices? It has tripled to quadrupled in price in the past 30-45 days. Insane. Used kits are selling for 50 to 100% more than what people paid for it.

 

What would we do without these "precious" AI innovators effing things up for the rest of the world? We have them to thank for many of our man-made financial crises. Families are footing the bill for their retarded nonsense. Even the cost of electricity skyrocketing in some areas is directly or indirectly a result of their insane pursuit of this idiotically obsessive business endeavor. They should not get any special incentives or tax breaks by federal, state or local governments and giving them should be illegal.

 

I am not against AI. I use it and see value in it. What I do not see value in is it becoming the most important thing and the cost of living going up to subsidize development of it. That needs to stop. Companies looking to develop it need to absorb 100% of the cost even if it means they do no better than break even. If they can't do it that way and can't afford it without outside help then they need to step aside and excuse themselves from participation. Screw the shareholders looking for instant financial gratification. It should suck to be them rather than it becoming everyone else's problem.

Yeah that sucks about DDR5. I have been ignoring this hobby completely.  Other than using my components. I am not all that up to date on the latest. I’m telling you a 5090Ti X2 could have dropped, and I would have had no idea. Looks like Intel released some of their new server chips though. They have these new fabrication Xeon 6 chips they have a X3D like cache as well. You can also pick from two product stacks this time around:  P core only version, or E core only version in a server/workstation socket 4710. It looks to me like they are not giving up yet, and are taking their time before releasing the new mainstream products.

That sucks!

 

That is one of my fears with open boxes and with how Newegg acts, I could get a DOA and would have to fight with them. I also cancelled my 9950X3D order. I have the 14900KS collecting dust and while the 9950X3D is better in every way (especially in ECO mode), if AMD does release a 9950X3D2, I can either get the 9950X3D for much cheaper than $669 (it did come with a free white MSI 360 AIO) or pick up the 9950X3D2 for around the same price. 

 

Outside of wanting a new GPU, I am all set with memory and storage. Lol, with the prices of RAM...I wonder if I can get my money back for the DDR4 memory I got for TR4 rig...

 

 

Dang, DDR4 actually is overpriced nowadays.  I was able to get my 16x16GB of G.Skill 3200c14 Bdie for around $500 back when I built the Dominus Extreme rig last year. Running 192GB or 12x16gb sticks at 3800 c14-14-14-34 with 1.560v, I am running 2T for daily which is stable. But oddly enough it can bench/game with all of this ram at 1T. Blistering fast though. And the latency is killer good at around 55ns. I love my DDR4. 💯 I think the main downside is people do not realize how much power high capacity DDR4 uses when at this voltage. Running something like TM5 pulls like 140+ watts for the memory alone.

Congrats @win32asmguy!

 

Based on 4k gaming results, the 265k and 285k are almost equal tuned properly depending on silicon quality. I was tempted to pick up @Talon's hardware, but I'm just wiggling my toe in the water for sub $400 for  the MB and CPU and both with a return window if I don't like what I see till January 26th. It gives me a window to reverse a potential bad purchase or perhaps feel it out and if I like what I see perhaps explore further (aka $$$).

 

I know @win32asmguy is just as much into WoW as I am, so I am really curious to see how much smoother the Ultra can handle WoW and how it stacks up against the 9800X3D and 14900KS (wifey's gonna be mad when I "borrow" her rig a few nights to do some testing with the 5090 🙂 ). I know what the 14900KS already brings in Raids and PvP which is a better handling of the .01% especially.

 

My personal prediction is this combo is going to be a banger once tuned for WoW but I'm equal parts curious about Fallout 76 too as AMD just wrecks the 14900KS at 4k disproportionately so. With how cache sings on AMD and Fallout 76, I think bllc is a potential wrecking ball for Intel and Fallout 76 next gen.

 

But this Ultra itch has been bugging me for quite some time.....and it must be scratched.....within reason.

 

 

I just got back a bit ago from Microcenter and OMG the ram prices were scary. Just flat out scary. It was a mad house in there and the checkout and pick up lines were insanely long. "18 minute pickup" turned into a 45-60 min pick up to the point the sales associate was walking down the line and getting names and what needed to be picked up so they would be ready when you got to the counter to speed things up.

 

Still, a $495.10 9070xt and a $205 265k was worth the haul coupled with an Amazon $176 Asus Z890 Strix-A Motherboard. All open box......Now let's all hold hands and pray they all work. 

 

 

The stacks of open box motherboards in there was a sight to see.

 

Wifey and I took a look at cases, and now she no longer likes her EVGA case but fell in love with the Corsair 5000 airflow black case so I sense a case upgrade coming her way. It's a win win as it has much better air flow than the DG-77.

 

 

I was wondering where you disappeared to! Welcome back and you are definitely getting maximum value from that FE!

 

Did you shunt that laptop or just the vbios update only? Imagine a shunt to go along with that sweet sweet bios gains.

 

 

I did not shunt mod it, was going to few months ago but got lazy on the idea, I just flashed it to another 175w 4090 bios . The stock bios was just really weak. Unfortunately with Windows SDR on, it broke my screens brightness controls in Windows and on keyboard. So I have to leave Windows Auto HDR on all the time to control brightness now, since SDR brightness is too dim and turning it up does not work. May have to try another bios. But for the first time ever, auto HDR actually looks useable. 

Not really sure why it’s faster. I have been on 581.94 hot fix for a few days now. 

Hey everyone! Still rocking the same system. My 5090 has been strong! Hard to think its already been 8 months since I got it.  6 months of that has been shunted for 1200w. It has been getting rung out hard though. I essentially lost interest in talking about this hobby and just been using it for work/gaming daily. 😆Something has pulled me back in to talking about the hobby though. I suppose I needed a break from the daily PC discussion lol. 

On another note, tonight I flashed my Acer Predator 4090 18" laptop to some random unverified Asus 4090 Laptop bios from techpowerup, and this thing picked up tons more performance. I am able to pull 175w steady in games, I could never do that before, usually 150-160w before. So, I checked my bios, and apparently my bios was the 1215Mhz clock/ 1590 Boost. And the bios I flashed to now is a 1590 clock/ 2040 boost. My GPUz said mine was a 175W bios, so thats why I never tried this before. So, I flashed out of curiosity. And it's just blowing the doors off of the prior bios that was on this Acer Predator. I am not really sure why. But I can run another +250Mhz on the core. It is really odd. 

Anyways, hello everyone! 

Anyone with a shunted 5090’s cook a cable yet? Mine has been solid running daily still. I think we can have a decent future with the 12v2x6. 
 

I feel like this cable is “Finicky” and so long as we’re all aware of that everything will be alright. 🔥

Who would have ever thought that a 5090 even at 0.895mv undervolt still uses over 630 watts for 1080P Furmark! Lol. 
 

Furmark is excellent for stability testing very quickly. (If your card is shunt modded that is)

The strange thing is, Intel will be bringing SMT back after Nova Lake. So does this mean, Nova Lake's chipset is one and done or they will build in SMT support into the chipset and Nova Lake will be the last SMT-less CPU family?

 

I hate to see Intel like this, even though I did call it out a couple years ago in this thread. Hopefully, they get back into the performance business and if people really need power savings, release an e-core only version of a processor and call it a day. 

I know it really sucks. Intel was always the best. I think they need to release a TRUE 60K+ R23 BEAST-Zilla mainstream chip, and Better gaming performance than 14900KS,  and they will win back the crowd love right away.

Yup, Intel mean the iGPU is very important for the company forwards... Hence the great driver support. Almost on level with their Cpu platform. One years cadence. 

Intel drops day zero game driver support for chips released last year

Sorry, your one-year-old CPU is already on the back burner.

I want to see the new Intel Nova lake with 52 cores. It’s going to have 32 E-Cores, and 16 P-Cores. This would be brutally fast! Even if it had Raptor lake IPC, and was locked down, it would be scoring 57,750 if the P Cores ran at 5.5Ghz, and the E cores ran at 4.3Ghz. (I’d still want one lol)
 

I can only assume it would probably operate at similar or maybe lower speeds to save on power and run cool-ish. So, it would be an absolute BEAST either way.

Such a chip would be amazing.  

I fixed my cracked 5090 FE block! 
 

RTX 5090 FE Block Plexi repair, and re-mounting!
 

I’m playing Dying Light The Beast, this game is very well optimized! Better graphics than Border Lands 4.
 

Game: Dying Light The Beast

Release Date: 9/18/2025
Graphics: Maxed out

Resolution: 4k

Technology: DLAA Native 4K

Frame Gen: x4

Frame Rate: 450-500fps 

Thoughts: Ridiculous. Because my CPU is completely stock by accident when turning on my PC this morning, so it’s at 3.8Ghz and it’s old as hell. 🤣
 

I believe this company learned well, because hardly anyone could play Dying Light 2 even with a 3090. 
 

My son is getting almost 200fps at 1440P maxed out graphics, with FSR frame Gen x2.
