oh heck yeah, for sure. im also curious to test the 870 QVO, will be the first QLC drive i get my hands on. i just hope its not TOO crappy 😄 i for one wouldnt touch QLC drives with a 10 meter pole, was already a huge undertaking for me to switch from MLC (970 Pro) to TLC drives (firecuda 530 and 870 Evo).

duude preaching to the choir, agreed on all points! ive also been eyeing 8TB SSDs, but as you said, their pricing is ridonkulous. 4TB drives are the highest cap that still makes sense from a value standpoint. i guess well have to be a bit more patient and make the most out of what we have today 🙂 currently at 60% capacity of my 24 TB setup so still have a bit of room and thus time until the next storage upgrade becomes necessary....

oh the govt banned both, or rather now requires licenses for both to be able and sell into china. theory is that the green goblin thinks the RTX 6000 is worth it, but the 4090 aint. makes sense if u look at the price tags 😄

dayum nice! what kinda storage setup are u running? performance or redundancy first? also, whatcha using that space for? not judging here, im also sporting a 24TB SSD setup 😄

cmon, everyone knows anything below 1000 L/h is for Noobs. go big or go home! /s 😄 yeah i saw that vid today, as well. tbh, i dont agree with his conclusions, at all. he basically cant decide what his message is, aside from dumping on other creators to push his own "commmunity driven" agenda of offering his way too expensive services to his subscribers. this based on the following points: - hes criticizing Igor's lab (actually not done by Igor himself in this case) for pushing 1.6 V through the utilized DIMMs during IMC testing. his argument: XMP only needs 1.45V! check a recent video he made on XMP profiles, his message: XMP for 8000 only works like 5% of the time! sooo, which is it? follow XMP or not? - hes dumping on the approach of only increasing the vDIMM to 1.6V and leaving everything else on auto. well duh, of course a manual tune brings better results. but this is to get a rough overview on IMC differences of countless cpus to compare 13th and 14th gen. so leaving mobo, dimms and settings the same, this is a valid testing base to check for any differences in IMC performance, with the cpu being the only variable left here. - based on the previous two points: hes offering those mobo/cpu/ram bundles for 1000 USD "tuning fee" plus hardware cost. at the same time hes dumping on others for not doing full proper manual tuning when trying to compare a shitton of cpus with each other. then he says XMP only needs 1.45 VDimm, so that means u CAN trust XMP right? soooo if tuning is "so simple" then why charge 1000 USD for his bundles? he lists 6 out of his 9 bundles reaching DDR5-8000+, sooo whats the conclusion here? IS IT so easy, then why charge 1000 USD? is it NOT that easy so then why dump on others for going a quick route for comparison purposes? - hes previously stated that DDR5 tuning is quite complex and not straight forward, especially vs. previous DDR4 tuning. and even after 1-2 years of tuning and learning hes still learning new stuff regarding DDR5. so basically, DDR5 tuning is hard from his perspective. so far so good. at the same time hes dumping on AMD X3D chips for the "complexity" to get them working properly (i.e. installing X3D driver or using process lasso to make sure the VCache die is utilized in games or other cache sensitive apps). basically stating that u cant offer this kinda hardware to the mainsteam masses, cuz its too "hard" to get it working. compare that to him making fun of basically everyone else for not being "in the know" and "too mainstream" or superficial when it comes to hardware tuning. so which is it, Joofus? is hardware tuning easy and u recommend ur "ocmmunity" to go the easy route? or are you and your commmunity "in the know" and everyone else is too stooopid and mainstream superficial for tuning stuff? there are also other points where he constantly contradicts himself. the only commonality i can make out is 1) to make himself look good 2) make other tech creators look bad / unknowledgeable at best / spreading intentional misinformation at worst 3) based on 1+2), advertize his overpaid "consultation" services 4) advertize his discord server, which u can only join by entering a subscription, shocker! so yeah...his vids are entertaining, but his way of going about things is dubious at best. this whole "im the specialized underdog, community first! dont trust the techtuber oligarchy"" has been used soooooooooooo many times in all kinda fields, including politics, religion, business....i mean, cmon, enough already. we get it. u want to push ur channel 🙂 so just say so but save on those theatrics. aight, enough ranting! back to playing some Control, loving this game! 😄 also done with DDR5-7600 tuning, only need to lower the voltages now. next step, taking another shot at 8000!

got it! 276€ brand new, cant complain 😁

thanks bud, much appreciated 🙂 im on the lookout on ebay, new 8TB QVOs are regularly sold there for between 250-280€, just havent gotten around to snipe one yet 😄

good timing to buy storage atm, prices arent expected to drop, let alone stabilize anytime soon... currently on the lookout for a Samsung 870 QVO 8TB for my lady, shes in dire need of more space! speed isnt paramount here, since its mostly media stuff like pics n vids. so QLC should be fine, main thing is maximized space 🙂 i for one should be good for another couple of years with my current 24 TB SSD setup 😄

the green looks kinda "wrong" after being used to the classic red n black form the 900 series era 😄 how will you apply the thermal pads on the vram without them getting squished into the heatsink fins of the cooler?

hahaha i guess the wrong color choice is a small price to pay for such a steal! nicely done!

hmm thats weird, capacity shouldnt matter...

so gaiz, if u ever wanna do a hardcore / weird flex, heres an idea: 4090 skateboard! 😛 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-gpu-skateboard

still broad availability of 4090s in central europe, however prices are creeping up considerably. whereas before you could get your hands on a basic 4090 model at sub 1600€ (incl. tax), ure now looking at roughly 1850+€, with rising tendency... iiinteresting take, thx for those infos, had no idea. so much for "being all about the community" and "independent from big brand sponsors" 😛 sure, no need for sponsors if you can suck out the community hahaha

audience love the underdog and resulting struggle, so of course its gotta be a renegade every single time hahaha. havent started watching it yet but planning to do so with my lady at some point. thanks for the input bud.

ah yes, lets all collect and get uncle papu a bunch of those to kit out his system with 🤣 IMAGINE HIS FACE WHEN HE OPENS THAT PRESENT HAHAHA

and uncomfy temps on the keyboard during typing... maybe they were thinking of users using the laptops on their LAPS and wanting to WARM THEIR FINGERS IN WINTER. like.....ludicrious thinking right there, who does that?! 😄

sounds like a plan hahaha

ha i was juuust about to say id love to see your input on overclocking the A770. especially with regards to how much of an actual performance bump you get out of it 🙂

oh damn such an awesome movie tho @boondock saints. and i never realized there was a sequal and tha NORMAN REEDUS was playing one of the main characters lulz. i guess the last time i saw the movie was waaaaay back before he actually became famous with TWD 😛

hmmmm....with a 9% difference in gpu core clocks but basically no difference in resulting fps u might be limited somewhere else, other than the GPU core. have u played around with vRAM or system RAM, see how that impacts your numbers? but yeah in this case it absolutely makes sense to go the UV route 🙂

this is one of the most annoying factors with current gen laptops: when i was on the lookout to get a new machine for my lady, i had the choice between: 1) socketable cpu paired with socketable DDR4 sodimms, 2) soldered cpu with socketable DDR5 sodimms, or 3) soldered CPU AND RAM. Naturally i went with option 1 and didnt look back 😛 and yeah 16 GB is scratching the limit of what is comfortably doable while being productive these days...

looking forward to your X670E results my man 😉 currently dialing in 7600 timings, bandwidth wise im definitely beating my tightened / final 6200 setup, but curious to see if i can also reach similar latencies. aaaaalso, im noticing during 7600 tightening that i might have to give 8000 ANOTHER go with stability testing. seems like i was too tight on some subtimings haha. still a lot to learn, but making good progress with AM5 🙂 nice tool, havent heard of it before. about time someone offerred a slim version of that armory crate crap 😄 at least for those who dont have any other choice (i.e. on laptops) thought of you right away when i saw jays upload. those issues he described sound super funky. havent run into anything like that either with my 7950X, but couldnt judge the X3D chips since i havent tried those. i might switch over to V-Cache with 8000 series, but ill take my time comparing performance 🙂 at 4K resolution, its barely a 5% difference between 7950X and X3D 😄

absolutely! ill be sure to keep you guys updated if theres anything new to report 🙂

hey bud, there are definitely plans for that, just havent gotten around to it yet 🙂

i see you either switched to a HOF 4090 or got ur hands on the special sauce unlocked voltage vbios from Galax 😄
