well the scam part goes without saying, thats just the new normal nowadays. but the fact that crossflashing to different SKUs is BACK is absolutely awesome π btw, first boot in the new case + new fans + new CPU cooler last night, w00t w00t! all fans are spinning and the wifi 7 module works beautifully after driver install, 5.8 Gbps wifi speed for the win! πonly got two minor gripes ill need to iron out in the coming days: three of the fans arent illuminated, so need to check the cabling. and ill also need an additional y-adapter with 4-pin PWM connectors to clean up some of the cabling up front / move it to the back. installing and managing a total of 15(!) 140mm fans takes its toll π will be sure to post some pics once everything is fully functional and tidy π havent properly set up my fan curves yet but i did some quick testing with my 9950X3D in CB24 at stock, it maxed out in the mid 60s with 200W peak LOL. absolutely ridiculous π in any CASE (pun intended!), the Phanteks NV9 is BIG and its finally got enough space to cleanly manage ALL the cables on the backside, me likes. -

got the new case in, old case almost empty of hardware now. disassembled the motherboard last night for a nice thorough cleaning and also replaced all thermal pads on the SSDs, as well as the VRMs and chipsets while i was at it π of course, i also swapped out the intel Wifi6E card with the new Qualcomm Wifi7 model. jeez what a crazy amount of steps and screws and heatsinks it takes to actually GET to the wifi card! whereas in laptops i just remove the back cover and bam, there it is....they could learn a thing or two from that on desktops π next step: get the PSU and all the cabling out of the old case and prep the Noctua fans for the new AIO. that and the new fans have also arrived, so now just waiting on the extra bling light strips for the case, but that aint time sensitive for the transplant π its fun to be tinkering again, but cant afford more than 2h every night before i basically drop dead from total exhaustion π -

waddhup boiiiiiiz Soooo as mentioned before, Ive now pimped our home network up from a crappy ISP Wifi5 router to a Wifi 7 Mesh router by Cudy (WR11000 / BE11000), hadnt heard of that brand before but they seem to be on the up and up recently: While at it, I figured why not use the opportunity and also swap out my Wifi card from the Intel 210ax with Wifi6E to a Qualcomm QCNCM865 Wifi7 M.2 Adapter: until I realized that i need to FRIGGIN TAKE OUT THE WHOLE MOTHERBOARD in order to remove the VRM heatsinks via screws on the back to get to the Wifi module omg... so THEN i figured: F it, if im gonna disassemble my whole build, might as well upgrade the case, fans and the AIO while im at it, clean all the components that will stay the same and start out FRESH π soooo, case first, im sticking to Phanteks and switching over to the NV9 MKII, absolute unit of a case, even larger than my current Enthoo Pro II (going from approx. 77L to 99L total volume LOL): reasons why I chose this case: - welp, SIZE obviously π also looking forward to having more space for cable management on the back vs. my current Enthoo Pro II - motherboard located quite low in the case, so lots of space up top to move my current front AIO to the top - more glass to see inside - moving to all 140mm fans, currently still have 3x120mm at the bottom while im at it, also gonna get the light strips upgrade kit for the case, bling it out some more: next up, CPU AIO, sticking with Arctic but moving from my current 420 LFII to the 420 LFIII Pro. Apparently, the "pro" moniker in this context means that the fans have been upgraded, thus higher static pressure and higher air flow: ill be keeping my Noctua NF-A14 Industrial-PPC 3000rpm for push/pull on the AIO and use the included AIO fans as case fans instead. Also gonna get another 6 Arctic P14 Pro fans to deck out the NV9 MKII: theyre actually pretty impressive specwise, with 187mΒ³/h air flow and 5.2 mm H2O static pressure. This with 6 years warranty and at 30β¬ for a 3-pack. so basically 10 bucks per fan, nice π Lets see how long this transplant will take, I wager itll likely take me a full week of late nights after my lil princess has gone to bed to make this happen. it will sure be fun though! Will update you guys with pics once done π -

the bare copper cold plate was mentioned by Roman, but he wasnt sure if this was also the way they did it in the production version, might have just been for demonstration purposes only / prototype stuff. the rest for sure, amen to that π and yes, too much to ask for, cuz then the "select few" dont have a big advantage anymore and everyone will bitch n moan about increased RMAs eating into their 2000+% profit margins π -

btw guys, Asus Matrix incoming with 2 power connectors (BTF + 12V-2x6). When both are connected, the vbios allows for up to 800W TDP, aint that interesting? Romans video is unfortunately only available in german, but autogen subs are your friend π oooor check out other sources, i.e. https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-geforce-rtx-5090-rog-matrix-revealed-quad-fans-and-up-to-800w-support -

these numbers are crazy. just goes to show that its all about SL these days, custom AIB cards are only worth it from a price stability and stock cooling / design perspective. very good call on the vanguard! +6% on avg fps is insane! haha in the end is was a neck on neck race between the GB Master and GB Master ICE vBioses. the ICE beat the regular Master in several instances but had 1-2 larger losses to the Master, but the Master was overall more balanced without any larger losses. in your case i would test those two in the apps ure most focused on (i.e. WoW π ) naturally, i can only talk for the specific vbios versions i tried, i have no idea if this holds true across all Master vs. all Master ICE vbios versions available on TPU. if you want i can go back and check which specific versions i tested. edit: kool, i had previously attached the exact vbioses i was testing, here you go: https://notebooktalk.net/topic/109-official-benchmark-thread-post-it-here-or-it-didnt-happen-d/?do=findComment&comment=58364&_rid=465 -

jaybee83 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
yup no dice on that front, 1.02 is all she will do, no matter the settiings or vbios versions. on the plus side, the likelihood of this card melting down with the XOC vbios is much lower due to the lower max. voltage. plus temps are nice. on stock fan curve im maxing out at 70-72C on the core, i recently applied a custom fan curve and now baaaarely touching 60-61C in the worst case. admit it, u did that on purpose to have an excuse for another bench run and a fresh install. dude ure doing those fresh win installs like the rest of us reboot our systems π btw, welcome back to the 5090 club, very shocking and unexepected indeed that u came back......not π nice catch with the vanguard, it is indeed basically like a suprim only with a bit less capable cooler and iirc some SMDs missing on the PCB (would have to look that up again tho). in any case, i lucked out on the max voltage / OC front this time around, but were talking like 2-3% difference (if that) on the bleeding edge! -

what?! how is that even possible, wth.... 4-5 months on a backup card...sorry but nah, no amount of savings would be worth that to me π -

lesson learned for the 6090: will not bother to spam refresh during launch, but rather lean back and enjoy the 5090 3-4 months longer until prices come down to normal levels π (watch me eat my words once the 6090 actually launches π) -

jaybee83 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
oh mymy, what have we got here? π welcome to the club bud, curious to see what u can squeeze out of that card. how much did u pay for it? hope u got a good price. yeah, the GB Master vBios seems to be the best if you still need proper fan control. if you dont, then the waterforce xtreme seems to be quite nice, although i dont have any personal experience with that. 1.07V max vcore is quite nice, congratz on that! -

this. due to his always present agenda its difficult not to watch any of his vids and believe his "independent media" stance. sure, independent from external sponsors, but the motivation for bias in any kind of hardware testing or benchmarking is BIG when u offer these "optimization classes" for specific kind of CPUs/GPUs. -

thats one country in all of Asia and i wouldnt consider South Korea an emerging market, rather sits between emerging and industrialized (categorized as either depending on who you ask). https://stockdividendscreener.com/technology/amd-revenue-by-region-and-by-country/ So we have 5 countries (US, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore) making up roughly 98% of AMD revenue. Rest of world, i.e. approx. 185 countries account for a mere 2%. Ofc I expect Nvidia to have a similar lion share in above countries, but their market share in those ROW countries should far exceed that of AMD. -

Death by a thousand papercuts! great to see you again bud π what kinda system are you rocking these days? VERY curious to see what kinda CPU that will be, if at all. heres to hoping that they supercharged their chiplet binning so as to provide the same clocks or maybe even higher than non-X3D chiplets, to have the best of both worlds. plus no more need for any scheduler / process lasso shenanigans π looking forward to this! the thing to consider with AMD cards is that there are lots of regions in the world that barely have any AMD market penetration whatsoever. especially in emerging markets like south america or asia Nvidia is basically the only game in town. sso even if AMD kicks butt in the US and europe, that would barely equate to a drop in the proverbial bucket when looked at on a global scale vs. the preinstalled base and new sales in most other regions. -

soooo ive been playing me some doom eternal, finally got around to installing it and get some demon shooting done here and there. maxed out settings at 4K incl RT im averaging around 250-300FPS π bUTTERY SMOOTH, very nice. fun fact: had to adjust my core OC from +265 down to +250, otherwise the game would crash to desktop with clocks reset to default. now at +250 it seems stable π -

welp...as usual the devil is in the details. since jay was only applying it to 3DMark, yeah sure, itll give u better scores on intel systems as he stated. but lots of people will over-generalize this and apply it for everything. then big surprise, some apps n games will actually give u lower perf with it enabled π thats the big prob nowadays, everything is just painted in black n white, while most of the time the reality is in gazillion shades of grey...#itdepends π
