dayum! whats he got planned? edit: funny to see hes basically sitting on top of GN Steve in NC 😄

what did i miss?

damn, this is one club i didnt invite u to for a reason 😄 u had to come join anyways eh? hahaha. stilll recovering here, second week of sick leave from work. for me covid and the flu are actually very very similar thats why i took a test right away when symptoms started last week. aww nice to know i can still pull off some "youthfulness" 😄 unfortunately, the big 4 has already gotten ahold of me several years back.

wait, did that prospective job offer fall through? it sounded so promising!

awesome update, very valuable info 🙂 will save it locally to have on hand once i get to vbios flashing. /personal rant ive been out of order this whole week with the flu, completely knocked me off my feet. this has only been the second time in my life ive had the actual flu, and both times suuuuuuucked unbelievably. issue being that while other illnesses usually only have a peak that lasts about 1-2 days before tapering off this bloody thing keeps kicking me in the balls for a full week before it finally lets go, its exhausting! now at least able to sit at my desk again without toppling over.....influenza is a b*tch. one thing is for sure: ill never skip another flu shot round again, it wont get easier with age down the road. luckily my company offers them for free to all employees. and, of course, now my little girl started developing a fever last night...my wife remains the last woman standing here keeping the gears turning, i dont know what i would do without her. /personal rant

riiiight, because with 1000W at STOCK youll absolutely WANT to flash other vbios versions 😄 no but seriously, im looking forward to when the first Lightning owners post their 800W and 1kW vbios to TPU so we can all profit from them 🙂 ill wager the 1kW will have the same or similar efficiency (in terms of fps per watt) as the Matrix 800W but with 200W more headroom and thus even less reason to use the leaked XOC 1600W vBios. at some point the 2500W XOC will also leak. just you wait. but honestly, at 1000W im satiated anyways 😄 still havent gotten around to even unpack my wireview pro II, let alone install it, sigh...

ohnoooooo i never unplug it just to "check on it", same with the 4090 i had before. but sometimes theres no way around it, depending on what i need to do. thus far ive plugged my 5090 twice (4090 not 100% sure but max. 3-4 times for the total of ownership duration), number three is upcoming to install the wireview pro II, replace the power cable (cant use right angled anymore, so back to straight) and also add more putty to the backside. after that, the wireview will stay connected, no matter what.

at least not knowingly yet *lulz* its always a nice lil surprise when i unplug the cable to do any kind of work inside my case.... 😛

curious to see which one, if ANY, of my four gpu power cables (all by seasonic) will be inside spec at stock and/or evenly distributed across the pins at higher wattages...

you juuust beat me to it 😄

Wireview got delivered today, but im still at my in-laws, will only get back home this sunday. lets see when ill finally get around to actually installing it LOL. work is gonna get crazy in january ugh...

still plenty of stock, albeit prices are continuously increasing and the low point waaay out of reach by now. out of 40 models listed, 6 are available shortly, with 29 directly available in stock. cheapest is, funnily enough, the FE at 2650€ 😄 at 19% VAT that would equate to 2227€ without tax or equivalently 2621 USD, again, thats currently the cheapest available, so seems like norway @Papusanhas some better luck now with 5090 pricing 😛 oh snap, say wat! didnt expect the next version to be out so soon already. @electrosoft btw bud, just got notified today that my TG wireview pro II was shipped out, hows it looking on your end? 🙂 guess now its time to also order me some additional pots of TG putty pro to completely fill out the backside underneath the backplate. every bit counts when flashing the matrix / XOC 😄

im tending towards the mount, i could do 8000 stable before with this exact cpu :) i only switched out case, fans, cpu aio and updated bios. no changes to the actual hardware. so with bios out of the way that leaves the mount, lets see how it goes.

did you go all out on the vcore of did u do some curve flattening. im wondering if most user reports over on overclock.net with the xoc being super inefficient is cuz they just flash and go full throttle and run into thermal limits right away. i was thinking to fully let the PL loose at 1200W but then manually flatten the V/F curve via AB and check mutliple vcore limits. im sure one can get better results that way. @Mr. Fox any new insights from ur side with XOC vs. Matrix vbios? this. even better if ure still able to snag the older TX-1600 version with 2x 8 pin connectors on the psu end for the two included 12VHPWR cables 😁 although its been going in and out of stock with prices nowhere near its original MSRP. seems to be in high demand, i wonder why.... 😋 @Mr. Fox so i updated my mobo bios to the latest version, this time once through ezflash and second time via bios flashback just to be on the safe side. still cant reach 8000 stable but looks like at 7600 i can go tighter on the timings than before. at this point im suspecting im having a suboptimal mount of the cpu, i remembered that i had some issues installing the arctic freezer III pro onto the cpu, since it only sports two(!) screw points instead of the previous LF II with four. since ill be opening up the case anyways once the wireview pro II gets here, i might as well do another cpu mount and also delid it while at it. maybe using the TG High perf. IHS might help with the mounting, since it sports a larger area and lower overall z height. so much tuning to do, so little time! but still tons fun 😁 and heck yeah, nvidia and amd take ur sweet time with new gpu gens, let the 5090 reign supreme for another 2-3 years, we dont mind 😄

niiice what card is that? 32GB HBM2 sounds sweeeeeet, wanna take off the cooler and show us some silicon pr0n? 😄
