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. 🤭

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?

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.

Nice to see you are watercooling. That’s an expensive hobby on its own, at least the initial investment is. What cooling components are you gonna be using? What are you putting this in? 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. https://www.provantage.com/intel-pk8072006347700~7ITEP9KR.htm

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. I found the Clevo 4090 mobile bios on techpowerup VGA data base. And I just flashed it. My brightness controls work in SDR and HDR again now!

Yes I would love to! Thank you.

Here is my 4090 laptop with new bios. Hard to believe my desktop 5090 is so much faster than this. But this gaming experience out of this laptop is amazing. http://www.3dmark.com/sn/10199710

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)

8K gaming beast right there. I do miss the old days though. I wish it would go back to when majority of people didn’t know what PC gaming was lol. GPU’s sat in stock on Newegg for low prices. 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. I feel like everyone would want one. I’m waiting on Intel to turn it around. I still run an Intel rig daily my self. Not really sure what their plans are for HT.

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.

This game is a joke. The graphics are lame. The physics are lame. This is good meme though lool. Definitely possible to overwhelm any GPU and make it run slow though, I can go run Furmark too lol. But so many games have far better graphics, consume even more VRAM, and run way faster than Borderlands 4. I can run KDCII twice on my overclocked and shunt modded 5090FE, and still get better performance than Border Lands 4. I don’t know why some Game Developers do this. I watched this video @Papusan. And I’m actually playing Kingdom Come Deliverance II for the 2nd time. 5090 smashes it 4K full native all settings on experimental graphics, the 4090 could do the job at 4K native all experimental lol. Funny he used that in his video. Because the game is HUGE, and the graphics are great, the game is GREAT.

Dyling Light The Beast comes out tomorrow. Very excited to play this one.

Updated Nvflash for flashing FE's is possible now?

It’s shipping weight that Corsair list on the website for some reason I am not sure why manufactures do this with PC cases.. Corsair 1000= 29.5kg empty or 65lbs empty.

The 011 XL is a beast as well though, they are like 44 pounds empty. Should be very Rigid and well made. I don’t know what 011 my son has. I think it is a 011 Evo not the XL but smaller one. It has glass and mesh panel kit. I’m thinking about putting my case on the floor and incorporating some wheels or some platform for it to sit on that rolls around.

I investigated the 9000D pretty heavily because I wanted one. I ultimately didn’t get one because it’s super expensive and built very cheap for its cost. It has the rattles, it has flex, lots of plastic in places, lots of thin metal everywhere . If you’re okay with that then you will like it. My case empty is twice the weight of a 9000D empty. That alone explains it all. Corsair is making a killing on these cases. Even the 1000D is double weight of a 9000D. So I think Corsair learned a lot with the 9000D and then heavily modified the budget to make it. 9000D=34 pounds 1000D=65 pounds V3000+= 68 pounds

Hard to find a case to be happy with that’s for sure for me anyways. It’s been 6 months already! I’m picky and like to change things too often, and I haven’t wanted to go back to a test bench or any other options and I’m surprised by that. I’ve learned a little since going back to a case. Mainly that I never really loved white cases and white accessories at all. The biggest advantage is because it completely hides dust. The fans, case, and radiators, and PSU always look clean and new. This way you’re not wanting to tear your system apart for a deep clean every year. 😆

The case is slightly Wider than my son’s Lian Li 011 Dynamic, so space behind the motherboard tray is enough to fit a 2 slot GPU flat behind the MB tray, more than enough space, since this case is dual system capable I saw someone do this. But mainly since the case has a basement that can fit everything like two 480’s or a single 480mm with no limits on thickness, PSU’s, Pumps, or even a ITX build in the basement. It’s not setup like 011 cases which place the PSU behind the motherboard tray, your PSU would go in the basement. So most of the useable depth is going to be in the main compartment, or in the basement. But I haven’t had any issues behind the motherboard tray my self. As far as depth goes or long ways of the case. It’s a long case. It’s as long as it is tall. It’s over 26” tall and 26” long. The biggest issue is weight concerns. My PC is so heavy you just can’t move it around. But fortunately since it has these suicide doors and because it’s so long it makes working on it easier. The motherboard is 14.0x14.0 larger than practically any motherboard we can buy today for any mainstream sockets so it does make the case look smaller than it is in pictures merely because this motherboard makes something like a Asus Extreme or Godlike look like a baby board. I think It looks abnormally long as well because some photos I’m not showing the bottom chamber which demonstrates how long it really is. Kinda like the photo below. You can choo choo train some 5090’s and still have room lol. 😂

Guys I was doing some testing after rearranging fans in my Lian Li V3000+ Plus, and with the door closed under a 1200w load my internal case temp is 27c with water temp of 31.3C, if I take the side door off the internal case temp drops to only 26c. I thought this was ridiculously impressive. I have never seen a case run this cool inside with this type of power being dumped. I’ve never been a guy to run my doors on my cases, even my son’s PC has no door on it in his Lian Li 011 packed with fans. But in this case for the past 6 months I’ve kept it sealed up. I don’t know why it runs so cool in there all closed up. Either the design? Or maybe just the internal volume?
