disbelief why? got lucky on the SL? 🙂

DUUUUDE, has been AGES! so good to see you here bud, i just laughed my butt off at your last post 🤣 btw, be sure to update your sig with your desktop specs, lets see what u got 😉

damn, had no idea that mini LED screens have already reached laptops! by any chance, u know the res/size, display model and how many background lighting zones it has? edit: ah its a QHD screen, just realized 😄 the rest of the specs would still be nice tho 🙂 curious

duuude LOL, how? why? 😄

welp "excited" would be a strong word, since im not an apple user. but i always applaud any steps taken (even when forced by EU legislation lulz) to ensure compatibility and reuseability of other devices 🙂

haha sounds like you just fell in love 😄 those are quite the thin bezels for sure... what kinda specs and price tag are we talking here?

ha, was planning to watch this with my wife after we finish book of boba fett 🙂

lol, YOU, my friend, have now entered the point of no return in the rabbit hole realm of benching old hardware 😄

what kinda pricing are you aiming for? are your also considering refurbs or second hand with warranty? just curious 🙂 welp, nothing really changed with regards to the 4090, exactly because of no competition at the perf. level. but the 7900XTX is trading blows with the 4080, sooooo a 4080 Ti makes sense here (for Ngreedia). kool writeup bud, thanks for the data 🙂 no surprise there tho that LM still reigns supreme 😄 point of the kryosheet is the fire and forget strategy plus no risk of corrosion / leaking leading to shorts. i could imagine that being good selling points for a lot of people. too early to tell, usually those "first online shop prices" are way above the regular availability pricing. hoping for the best, expecting the worst as usual! 😄 huh, this is indeed some funky behaviour (which is to be expected with RAM tuning 😄). as others have already suggested, i would check with TM5 (anta777 absolut), as well to verify RAM stability. also be sure u set everything else to stock, especially CPU. GPU is more unlikely in my opionion, but better to be safe than sorry. also good idea with setting everything to "Auto" in the Bios, in combination with a bios reflash and cmos reset. ive read about some instances where some bios settings would retain their last manual values even when reset to Auto. keep us updated on how things go! in the meantime, im currently in the last stretch of 6200 Mhz tuning (tightening timings one by one and verifying stability). next step will be max clocks at 2:1 ratio. ill give 8000 mhz another shot, but willing to downclock to 7800 at tightened timings if i cant get it stable otherwise. welp to be fair, an 850W PSU can nowadays be considered "midrange" and not highend anymore 😄 so nobody in their right mind would pair a midrange PSU with a highend GPU, right? so cant expect it to have a full range of connectors, they gotta cut costs somewhere. sure sure, but then Ngreedia would LOSE MONEY. theyll probably just slap a 1400-1500 USD price tag on the 4080 Ti, not change ANYTHING ELSE in their lineup and call it a day lulz

dude that sounds amazing. keep us updated on your progress, im sure the community would be VERY interested in this 🙂

bro @Aaron44126be like

hahaha i actually meant no surprise there, they wouldnt release "15th gen" just 2 short months after "14th gen"....notice how im including the air quotes 😄 still! planning to upgrade my lady's machine with a 14900k with some prema love in the mix 🙂 duuuuude they look MASSIVE! noice. @Mr. Fox u know whats also noice? following ur advice on going straight with the 1000W Asus XOC vbios. also updated my igpu and dgpu drivers next to the chipset. while playing control i noticed the gpu going up to 750W and finally nooooo mooooore power limit reason popping up. happy camper!

oh yeah total shocker....not 😄

its always about trade-offs. sure, apple can achieve way higher effiency in their walled garden approach cuz they got complete vertical integration from silicon design up to software and os. but id never want to give up on flexibility and modding capability, thats why ill also never switch from android to crapple 😄

aaah bro papu our resident reminder to update our software, nice one! 😄 this one is actually VERY cool, have to check this out with my Samsung microSDs hahaha Magician now supports all of Samsung's branded memory storage products, including internal SSDs, portable SSDs, SD cards, and USB flash drives.

plus this makes crossflashing of vbios versions more annoying. different port configs mean that u might end up with one of the gpu ports not working...super unnecessary!

welp that opens up a completely other can of worms: walled garden, even MORE BGA and add to that software locks (for which apple is infamous for) plus apple has to still prove themselves as a "friend to gamers". sure, they started doing at least SOMEthing, but theyll need to stand the test of time first. and yea, lets not even start talking about price to performance here.... 😅 blasphemy! how dare you jump over to the apple side of life! 😮 GAIZ, GET HIM! /s 😄 seriously tho, what made u switch? jokes aside, interesting to see that Apple has made at least some strides into the right direction. in the end, its still going through translation layers and losing performance vs. native support. plus, as mentioned above, apple will need to prove they mean "gaming business" in the long term, so not just a quick n dirty project that quickly falls off the wagon come next hardware / macOS gen (after Sonoma)... so i remain a bit skeptical in that regard.

better late than never! hahaha any review data on it yet? with those hybrid air/water coolers im always a bit skeptical as to their air only performance...definitely looks way beefier than the stock cooling though, especially on the cpu side! might be something worthwhile to consider with the upcoming 14900K...

welp, one can dream...i like the way that OP it thinking. however, in the end, Clevo is now following the money trail, thin n light BGA crap FTW! 😢

ha, u beat me to the punch, wanted to post the same @HMScott 😄 but heres another beautiful future to dream about: away with resterization and ray tracing, full on neural rendering with "DLSS 10" 😄 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-hints-at-dlss-10-delivering-full-neural-rendering-potentially-replacing-rasterization-and-ray-tracing in theory pretty cool, i mean u can basically "make up" the game as u go along (integrated chatgpt letting u "wish" stuff into existence lulz), but, OF COURSE, NGreedia would put all this behind a proprietary paywall and BEST cloud based so that you own NOTHING. yay, lets go!

hmmm interesting that ur VPP was bumped to 1.95V, might be something to look into on my side. and i feel ya, juuuust when u think u got stability figured out, bam RAM comes back and bites u in the butt haha 😄

as long as u get the dimensions, the mounting holes and the display connector type correct, u can install any other display that ud like 🙂

no worries mate. good to hear about ur stability, feel free to throw ur settings my way 😄 currently still tuning my 6200 timings, on the cusp of overtaking my previous best results with the 6600 kit and still a looot of timings to tune, looking promising!

just stumbled upon a pretty impressive interview with uncle Jensen: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-ceo-shares-management-style-always-learn-make-no-plans I was positively surprised to see how he manages Nvidia and fosters continuous improvement, as well as keeping flat hierarchies and asking for input from all company levels. On the other hand, looking at Nvidia's history, with this kind of flexible management style its actually no wonder theyve been so far ahead for decades now. Basically start-up mentality inside a bigass conglomerate, pretty cool stuff!

i assume uve already gone through all available bios options? if theyre not in there, they would need to be manually exposed by modifying the bios and flashing it....
