yeah naturally i also increased mine with the matrix vbios. as long as temps are in check overcurrent is not an issue, just the imbalance getting my attention.

Sooooo ive had the first incident detected by the WVP II (it already paid for itself just for that!), i was playing Alan Wake II at 4K maxed out with Pathtracing and DLSS Quality and getting a smooth 70-100fps on the matrix vbios. GPU wattage was usually in the range of 650+W, so nothing crazy. GPU temps were fine in the low to mid 60s, with vram hotspot in the low 70s, so far so good. but then the WVP II started beeping, pin current imbalance detected! some crazy values, lowest pin at like 5A with max. at 12-13A O.o alt-tabbed out of the game, checked monitoring data (had hwinfo running in the background), let everything cool off and tried again, got the alarm for a second time. then on the third try pin currents were even and stable again, super weird! cable connector was fine tempwise, saw a max of like mid 50s, nothing to worry about. plus ive got high airflow inside the case going over the gpu connector and the thermal putty applied on the connector pcb location for thermal conductance via the metal backplate. nothing was touched, altered, fidgeted with or changed in any way. rammed that cable into the gpu like theres no tomorrow to ensure full connection and then literally case closed 😋 my usual min-max current gap is in the range of 0,8-1,2A, with some rare instances going to 1,5-1,8 (were talking to like a second each). but never above 2A. and ive been playing and testing with alan wake 2 on the matrix vbios for hours and hours by now, never any issues. this is such an annoying connector! ugh now on the lookout for a potential cable replacement, might as well go with one of the higher rated ones, but definitely not the asus crap 🤣 doesnt make sense though, ive also checked my vdroop and its not even breaching 300mV, its like 220 or so (12.1V at idle to 11.9 under load approx.) from what ive seen on overclock.net thats pretty darn good (seasonic quality, after all). y'all gotten any alerts yet from your WVP Ii? please share!

welp the listed hardware specs for that tier are pretty old and weak, anyways....guessing they wanna make sure they can sell their game to as many hardware-starved kiddos as possible 😆 it was just a question of when not if they would be starting to use DLSS and framegen as crutches.... finally back to gaming here, finished high on life 1 + dlc yesterday, now playing through alan wake 2 DLCs 🙂 after that not sure yet, maybe black myth wukong or star trek voyager across the unknown?

was thinking the same thing 😄 sticking to my seasonic original cables, im at 1 amp max difference and in the low to mid 50s max. cable connector temp with the matrix vbios 🙂

awesome! ive been using process lasso thus far, will give this a whirl 🙂 holy crap, i didnt see that one coming!

welp that was a quickie, the lightning Z vbioses only let me run one of the three fans 😄 wont bother testing the XOC versions, so Matrix it is for D2D now 🙂

oh cmon, why even bother to attack our cozy little forum here....

Finished testing the Matrix 800W vBios yesterday, basically grabbed top spot in all included benches except for like 2 or so, very consistently beating the Gigachad vBios! All in all, Im currently looking at +71-72% above 4090 stock and roughly +16-17% above 5090 stock, not bad! Gotta love the upgradeability and tuning ability of desktop systems 😄 Now moving on to the Lightning vBios versions, not sure yet if ill also test the XOC versions from Asus and MSI... Monitoring and logging via the WVPII makes things way more relaxed tbh 😄 so far looking good, connector stays very cool, max ive seen thus far was like in the mid 50s, with the inbuilt fan barely starting to spin at that point. still have to do a deepdive on the data collected for the Matrix vBios, gonna do that for every vBios tested so I have a good overview of what kinda wattage my cooling could manage long term 🙂

congratz on the new phone, shes a beaut! 🙂 and lulz thats funny timing, i actually just switched the other way around and went back from custom to full stock 😄 just dont have the time to tinker with custom roms anymore... yeaaaaaaah.....nope

haha im actually just looking for a good price on a fully functioning chip with no degradation issues, thats pretty much it 😛 ill have to throttle it down to fit inito the cooling / power envelope of her machine anyways, plus i nowadays have barely enough time to do a tiny bit of tuninig on my own setup, so wouldnt have any time budget to do any binning 😄 so basically just tune down the cpu to keep it under control cooling wise and then maybe do a bit of tuning on the RAM side, thats it 🙂 speaking of RAM, finished tightening the timings on my current DDR5-7600 setup, now off to vBios flashing and comparison! also finally got around to setting up / installing / updating firmware on the wireview pro II, loving it!

Ha yup AM5 longevity ftw! been on it with the X670EE since Oct 2022 😄 exact reason why i got it in the first place and went all out on the mobo, enjoying the platform longevity to the max! im definitely curious about the X3D2 and how the reviews will turn out on it. however, im cautious, a mere 10% in productivity and/or gaming will not be enough for me to pull the trigger on it. for that, Zen 6 is already too close to release. my previous upgrade coming from the 7950X to the 9950X3D made much more sense, productivity wise it was in the range of +10-15%, with gaming at a whopping 30-35%. compared to that, wouldnt make sense to switch over to an X3D2 for single digit gains... bro @electrosoft brought up a good point with the IF though, if either that or the IMC is in any way improved ill be very curious to see what kinda extra gains we could get out of it. im a bit doubtful though, since zen 6 is gonna bring updates in those regards anyways, so wouldnt make sense for AMD to push their last zen 5 chips up, would eat away at their perfomance gap to the next gen.... btw guys, anyone with a 14900K(S) willing to part with it for a good price? think might be time for my lady's machine to get an upgrade 🙂 lemme know! im hesitant to pay full price for a new part since its already a bit dated, at the same time i wouldnt trust second hand due to the degradation issues with RPL...

Trondheim! Was actually there a while back to visit a friend, why didnt u say something? couldve gotten some beers 😄 LOL boy am i glad i upgraded my storage setup when i did, i paid less than 500 bucks per 8TB SSD (WD SN850X/P pcie 4.0). I have been summoned! thanks for the headsup, havent checked the forums in a while. was on my own this week with our little princess, mommy on a business trip to italy. and OF COURSE its the exact week that the little one was going through youngling daycare (9 months to < 3 yrs) to kindergarden transition (3-6 years). so needed to juggle work, household and taking care of the little one cuz during the transition shes only staying in kindergarden for 2-4 hours at a time..... SO ready for some sleep this weekend! 😄 btw, absolutely LOVE this 😄 ive been thinking for quite a while now, whether i should get my lady a 14900K(S) or maybe wait and go for bartlett lake. either way, id need to do extensive testing iterations with a bios mod with bro @Prema (if hes got time), so very curious to see how this compares to the standard 14th gen. keep us updated bro!

geeez so basically just unlocking bios functions that should be there in the first place 😄 almost sounds like were back in the Clevo / Alienware days, just on desktop....now THAT shouldnt be a thing ugh

interesting, what kinda tweaks / targets / scope do you guys have in mind for the mod?

damn i saw that vid, felt really sorry for Roman, he definitely didnt deserve this....especially after doing all that due diligence! these market conditions really suck atm. been using winaero tweaker for quite a while now, love that they keep adding this kinda stuff!
