Rage Set

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.

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.

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.

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.

Correct me if I am wrong, and all joking aside, why would someone need to mod this supposedly "KINGPIN" like card that is ready for DICE/LN with the "right" vBIOS? I know this card, apparently, doesn't have an actual binned GPU core, but MSI did appear to go all out on the engineering side in regards to the PCB and components. Unless this is one of the many cases where the marketing doesn't actually match the engineering and you do still have to shunt mod it even with the special vBIOS.

I am not going to lie, this would be me (anyone that knows me, would agree). Practicing my soldering skills on a VERY expensive mobo or GPU. I did that for years and I was able to repair the majority of my mistakes. LMAO, the owner should have tried on a 2K or 3K card first...

See how Frame Chasers shouldn't have even attempted any mods...HE killed the card when he added the second 12vhpwr connector and that melted holes in the PCB. LMAO. Yet, people pay this guy for his expert overclocking/binning 'abilities'?

Another reason why I want to live part time in Norway @Papusan besides the Snow and Cold. When a government agency can produce an entertaining video that also points out a serious consumer issue, you got to give it to them. "The memories may be yours, but the photos are mine" WOW. The Norwegian gov took shots at all companies.

You have a superior binned Red Devil compared to mine. My RD, at stock only hits around 3k. With an UV, I get 3100, maybe 3150. Always my luck, but it is still a super quiet card. Sometimes I question if the fans ever spin up.

I know soldering, PC break/fix and 3D printing extremely well, but I would never label myself an expert. If my YT channel ever reaches 50K+, you won't ever catch me trying to get money out of my community for a device that I damaged. I would probably be too embarrassed to even admit it, lol.

I am sorry, but the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He claimed he was able to "warp" the internal PCB. Clearly, he hasn't watched Northwestrepair - the PCB's on these 5090's are literal heatsinks. He almost likely killed the GPU by a mistake in his shunt mod. This is what happens to people that labeled themselves experts.

Nova Lake is looking like the return of Intel, but it is going to cost. A Z990 mobo is going to be expensive. Stepping down to Z970 and you are losing a lot of PCIe lanes - BCLK OC'ing. If the rumors of the top NL chips costing over 1000 are true, we are back in the days of HEDT - but only two memory channels. Lastly, still no ECC memory support unless you go W980. I am not sure whether it is going to be AMD or Intel that offers the first mainstream platform with quad channel memory support, but it needs to happen.

Only Alphacool has a waterblock, but it is available in multiple shops. While the Red Devil 9700XT is one of the best 9700XT's on the market, I am still debating whether I want to shell out $250 to $300 on the block. For the first time in years, none of my rigs are custom watercooled. They are either cooled by an air or AIO cooler. Mind you, I still have CPU blocks and tons of radiators I could use. The problem is, if I buy the block, I am going to have to get a two-dimm mobo and faster RAM - that is the chain reaction. I don't really want to invest more money into the 1700 platform. With that being said, I may still get the block with how prices of copper are shooting up.
