very nice base, then later down the line upgrade that to a nicely binned 14900KS and OC the crap out of it 😄

welp if u kill it by just filling it up once with data then it aint worth ur actual data lulz

lulz damn, at that price point 110% fake. please run some benches and let us know how theyre doing. also be sure to check the actual capacity, i.e. via this nifty lil tool: https://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/comment-page-3/ it basically keeps on writing to any selected drive until its full, thus determining its actual physical capacity, no matter what the firmware / OS is saying.

u going with the paste of thermal pad? wasnt it that the paster performs worse than the pad? might be mistaken tho! in any case, keep us updated on your findings 🙂

totally on it, got both my wallet and F5 ready for action 😄 and then sell off my 7950X with a profit due to increased demand?! hahaha also started building up the budget to get a 5090 on launch day, should be a nice upgrade year! 🙂 yups they do. i *think* it was only introduced with AM5 though.

agreed 100% on that. i keep trying to convince people not to "invest" into crypto. even with stocks and the highly people / investor mindset dependent fluctuations of the stock market, u at least have SOME actual reality backing them up, i.e. real companies, real products & services, actual value. same goes for FIAT currencies, u always have the actual economy of a country / bloc of countries backing them up. what do we have for crypto? nothin except the "belief" that it "must be worth something". 🤪 anybody saying gaming or benching is a waste of electricity should focus on crypto first 😄 I KNOW! EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS! ugh, already dreading it....

here we go guys, next crypto craze stealing our beloved hardware coming up: https://www.techpowerup.com/320281/qubic-cryptocurrency-mining-craze-causes-amd-ryzen-9-7950x-stocks-to-evaporate good thing is: if youre on the intel side of life ure safe (for now at least) cuz bad energy efficiency doesnt make them worthy of crypto mining 😄

yep already had my eye on those new seasonic cables, wanna get one in preparation for RTX 50 Series 🙂just havent figured out yet where to buy the cables. anyone have a pointer? as for those "50 mating cycles", its probably equivalent to 8-pin pcie limit of "150W" or the M.2 slot rating of "60 cycles". might all be listed in some spec sheet or white paper but the reality would be much different 🙂

hahaha same thoughts exactly!

keeping tabs on fleabay for 14900Ks as a potential upgrade for my lady's machine, the number of offers has suddenly jumped, likely because of the upcoming KS 😄 👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️ and deeefinitely keeping tabs on this, next upgrade for Hyperion 😛 either that or an RTX 5090, whichever releases first 😄 although for the CPU i might wait a month or so for prices to go down considerably before upgrading. for the GPU doesnt matter, highend prices dont seem to fall anymore anyways after launch day, but the inventory DOES, so yeah...lulz

wth...i have no words for such behaviour 😄 the only thing that makes sense is that theyre trying to haggle down the price or theyre just bitter they cant afford any faster ram... anyways, moving on! duuude, what kinda FCLK clock is that?! 😮 how many cpus did u have to bin to get to that? hahaha

any news on the Kingpin front yet? its been a while, thought something wouldve gone official by now.

aight boiz, get your wallets and your F5 keys ready for RTX 5090 launch day: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-expects-next-gen-blackwell-gpus-to-be-supply-constrained its gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck in other, COMPLETELY UNRELATED news 😛 : https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/nvidia-rallies-to-dollar2-trillion-on-ai-surge-making-founder-and-ceo-jensen-huang-the-worlds-21st-richest-person

word, especially with 6 years warranty on that thing lets enjoy it a bit before replacement. maybe the LF IV or V will be a worthy successor 😄 yeps, delid done, wasnt that big of a difference, just 2-4C lower temps. currently still tuning the installation of the ThermalGrizzly custom IHS, i need to shave down the plastic standoffs by like 2 mm or so for proper mounting pressure. ur liquid suprim is doing a tad better in OC across both core and vRAM vs my air cooled model, should be combo of silicon lottery and better cooling 🙂

i already HAVE the 420 in A-RGB flavour 😉 but i swapped out the fans with black Noctua Industrial IPPC-3000 rpm fans in push/pull 🤣 that plus offset mounting, delidded with LM and custom TG IHS should negate any advantages the III has over the II haha.

good to see OLED finally catching up to VA panels like my Neo G8 at 4K and 240 Hz. I am still hesitant to switch to OLED though due to burn in. i use my monitor for both gaming and office work, and the latter is just not the scenario u want to use an OLED in, especially at 8+ hours a day.... so hanging back and keeping tabs on the OLED developments, while enjoying my Neo G8 🙂

yeah laptops are better off with a more viscous paste due to higher variability in heatsink contact. kryonaut is rather thin and suffers from pumpout over longer periods of time. but freshly applied its pretty solid. i wonder if kryonaut extreme / KPx is better in that regard? still have a huge tube of kryonaut OG, so not planning to get a new paste anytime soon 😄

not only 600W+ TDP air cooler but hes also showing temps at full tilt 100% fan speed 😄

agreed on all points. and i regularly use the mouse pad, too 😄

welp i guess if u got the right kind of kink ud be super happy about worn women's shoes?! 😄 admit it, u only bought it for the mousepad! yes please, bench those mousepads! 😄 indeed the Suprim X coolers are quite capable. iirc they use the same cooler on both the 4090 and 4080 suprim skus 🙂 so u basically got a 600+ W TDP gpu cooler on a 300W gpu 😄

yeah man, give us those highres pics! 🙂

huh? kryosheet beating kryonaut? O.o

that looks interesting, especially with the included skins / layouts for AIDA64, that definitely saves a lot of work and time on setting things up. u happy with it so far? might be a bit too long to fit into my case though 😄 not that the case itself isnt big enough, but i got an empty space I saved for an internal screen, and this one might be a bit too long for that space haha

yep also another item on my todo list, wanting to install a custom panel into my case for sensor readouts. not 100% sure yet if im actually gonna go through with it. definitely enough space but the rather crappy selection of panels on the market hasnt really convinced me completely...

haha i feel ya man, tuning time is becoming rarer and rarer these days. but hey, its all for a good cause, in the end ull remember the quality time spent with family more rather than tuning hardware 😛 and yessss i also still need to do our taxes! 😅
