Rage Set

WOW.

I'm going the nuclear option. I'm selling everything except for the 6800xt, and one of my 3090's. The Asus 3090 White Edition, 6900 XT (with the unused waterblock), and the EVGA 3080 TI's are going.

They can keep that. I rather buy a set of cinema lenses for my S1H.

Getting there. A little better. I am going to run a memtest on it tomorrow but it "appears" super stable.

@Mr. Fox I didn't match your settings one for one, but there you go. I think these sticks are better than the Corsair I have.

I tried using the freeware version of Thaiphoon Burner but that doesn't give me any information on the RAM. I'll try those settings now.

I was starting to regret my Z690 Dark purchase until I've installed the latest BIOS. Before, 51 on the older BIOS, would net me around 10269 pts in CB20 (much lower than my Asus Z690 Extreme, which was weird), but now it is posting above 11k with the same extra BIO settings. Temps are much lower too. Still working on the 6400 RAM kit from G.Skill.

Indeed it is a shame. I have two of the CF525's and it appears that Lamptron took the form over function/power route on their latest fan controllers.

I like his Avatar photo. We are both fans of the Dark Tower novel series. But that isn't me, lol. Thanks though bro

These "toys" are what I am looking to get, hopefully within a year if everything goes according to plan. More capital.

The 12900K is a hot chip. With my smaller MO-RA3 radiator, I am still hitting 100C straight away on certain cores. I am still dialing in the voltage for 51 P-cores/40 E-cores.

Cablemod has cable combs or you can find some cheap ones on eBay. I got cable combs when I got my custom cables from Cablemod

That's definitely above average right there, so that is indeed a very good chip. You should be able to hit 42 on the Ecores. I believe with a delid and the chiller on that chip, you should hit 12500cb

Where did you guys get your 1700 cpu block kits from? I know I can pay a penny to EK for the mount but it will take awhile to get. I'm looking at the 1700 CPU blocks from EK

Lol. I think he's just a proud American who believes in his rights. 😉

eBay will be taking back the money back from you, the seller, if the buyer wins the case. While I highlighted the case where I was sent a chiller that likely did work before the seller sent it to me and I found a broke fuse inside, there are many many transactions that go smoothly.

I was hoping to get my Dark by tomorrow but the snow storm we're getting here caused it to be delayed until Monday. I need a new mounting bracket. I've been spoiled with all of the Asus boards that support both mounting types.

The EVGA Z690 Dark is incoming. I guess I should buy another 12900k and maybe, just may be I luck out with better. Edit: I'm going to sell the Asus Z690-A D4. No reason to keep it now.

Bro, you are contributing. No need for verification. All of us were "DTR" overclockers (some still are) before we went back to desktop. https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/26785502/fs/26785331# My questionable laptop scores, don't judge me, lol. Keep learning and reaching, you are getting there.

I got a notification for the Z690 Dark, literally a day later after getting into the queue. I am not sure if I'm lucky or EVGA overestimated the desire for this board. What to do? I have the Z690 Extreme and the Strix-A...and one CPU for them both. I don't need another Z690 board...but it is very tempting. I could sell the Extreme but then I lose that sexy 10G LAN (yes, it is worth it).

Perhaps I've been lucky with my Asus D4 board. Honestly, and I knew that coming in, that board and my Z690 Extreme are overclocking the same. Obviously I got more testing to do but Asus did a good job with the D4 for plain o overclocking.

I am fine with it but what I am trying to figure out is why my 12900K is short about 1100 points in CB20 against my 5950X. I got a lot to explore. The P-Cores are at 5.0 and the E-Cores are at 4.0. The 5950X was 4.650. Very interesting first runs.

I figured I would create a place for people to talk pfSense firewall software and hardware appliances (made by Netgate or third-party). Whether you are completely new to hardware based firewalls or a seasoned veteran, post anything related. Do you deploy it for home, lab or business? What kind of appliance do you use? Prebuilt? Old PC? VM? What are your favorite packages?

The loading as you scroll makes the page jerk for me. The images POP. I thought it was my browser. I kept my Inspector on, trying to figure it out myself. Now I know.

My 12900K is still rated SP82 on the Z690 Extreme! Yay! At least Asus is consistent.
