ah shoot, you ninja'd me to it... also which paste did you use before? @KING19

Do it.

agreed on all points there. oh geez those FC thumbnails....lulz

damn, sux to be you my friend....time for an external storage upgrade! go gettem Papu! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-makes-1000-profit-on-h100-gpus-report btw, 1000% profit margins, anyone? so yeah, why would they give a crap about us gamers / benchers.... 😄 were only at a MEASLY 50-100% margin or so hahaha

welp, the subscribers are definitely pulling out of floatplane.... https://floatplane.wtf/ other sources also floating around, i.e. reddit / ltt forum, etc. peak was somewhere around 41000 so basically lost 12% of their subs inside 2 days. nice?!

oh ure definitely the cool uncle now... you gotta reputation to uphold moving forward, no pressure! 😄

nice sum up of events thus far. here some links as to the LTT employee and her experiences: https://www.dexerto.com/tech/ex-linus-tech-tips-employee-alleges-mistreatment-and-poor-conditions-2251613/ https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-i-told-i-chunky-fat-ugly-stupid-youtuber-madison-suop-opens-reveals-left-linus-media-group-amid-recent-controversy

haha yep sounds about right! sadly thats also why ill likely not play it anytime soon 😄 i have about one to two hours of personal freetime (best case) a day that i usually spend watching TV shows or tuning / benching my setup 😛 still lots to finetune! AND OMG ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE 😮 there goes my little freeetime.... 😄 edit: just watched the trailer and i had instant goosebumps! btw its hilarious that they even tried to mimick a greek accent while narrating hahaha. in the beginning they did it well but slacked off a bit at the end. still, kudos! 🙂

Some more interesting stuff coming to light in the wake of the GN video: https://www.dexerto.com/tech/ex-linus-tech-tips-employee-alleges-mistreatment-and-poor-conditions-2251613/ https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-i-told-i-chunky-fat-ugly-stupid-youtuber-madison-suop-opens-reveals-left-linus-media-group-amid-recent-controversy phew this sounds terrible... but sadly this somehow fits the overall LTT working environment were now getting deeper insights into...

its hilarious to see my lady all of a sudden following the tech tuber drama like shes part of the tech community. drama at its finest drawing in the masses! 😄

sup mah dudes! i just got myself my very first display colorimeter, very curious to try it out: funny enough, i had its predecessor in my wishlist for ages now, the Calibrite Colorchecker Display Plus. Now that i finally came around to making a purchase i realized its successor was just released like a month ago, perfect timing! apparently the new models have a higher capability to properly calibrate HDR monitors, which is of course nice to have in my case with the up to 2000 nits Neo G8 🙂 have to admit im a total noob when it comes to display calibration, but i figured id give it a shot, especially since the Neo G8 was among the top 3 most expensive parts of my build (after the MSI 4090 and the Asus X670EE).

ive heard / seen good things about Baldurs Gate 3, supposedly breaking all records on metacritic and concurrent player numbers. anyone tried it yet?

welp, when something is so bad u can only either cry in a corner or laugh cynically at it, i usually choose the latter 😄

funny how the highest / best value card of the 40 series is the 4090 😄

shame they didnt include the arctic freezer II in their testing. at 38 mm thickness, thicker than normal tubings and higher overall coolant volume, theyre very competitive. only weak spot with their relatively low RPM fans (very quiet though, good normalized noise performance and very good price / perf. ratio) can be fixed easily, i.e. with a push/pull config with 6x 3000 rpm Noctua fans (as i did in my setup 😛 ) as Fox and electrosoft mentioned, not worried on that front. the commuity will always find new creative ways to delid 😄:

id wager ur thinking could be along the lines of: meh, for "mere gaming" those lower perf gpus are sufficient, cant waste precious gpu cycles of my 4090 monster on that, gotta keep benching! 😁

haha my bad actually, i shouldve figured in your case! 😃 i just jumped right to gaming since thats what the x3D parts are mainly focused on.

noice, please do follow up with performance data, esp. in gaming! welp...we better get used to such extreme weather phenomena, thats gonna be the "new normal" from here on out. i shudder to think what kinda world my lil one will live in at my current age... say what, in only 10 days?! damn tbeyre fast! much respect 😃 ill take that bet! when it comes to games, more cache beats more cores / higher clocks, same goes for intel cpus actually:

i admit with my first win11 install i tried it. i figured hey, gotta experience it for myself before i can make any judgements. boy was i in for a ride, that software is huuuuuuge, so many processes, registry keys and basically impossible to completely remove again... yeah no thx ^^

more than enough for titan quest 🙂

damn, may i ask why ure restricting the cpu so crazily with regards to wattage?

huh, that stuff sounds weird! ive always had TB/USB4 enabled thus far, same for the igpu. the only responsivess issues ive encountered here and there was with excel, but i know for a fact that my current office install is wonky, just havent come around to fixing it yet. and yes, got AMD chipset drivers installed, although i wager thats more important on X3D chips for sheduling. bro Fox, interesting to see that Intel boards face a similar issue with TB/USB4? maybe Jufes has armory crate installed, with that cancer on his system ANYthing is possible 😂

hm not that im aware. i had my previous 6600 kit tuned in to 6200 and tightened timings, ending up with 55 ns latency. with regards to general latency and bandwidth variations, i have seen somewhat worse results when mclk and fclk are not properly aligned, i.e. im getting the best results at a ratio of 3:1 (at 6200 Mhz that would equate to 2067 Mhz IF). most people ive seen just crank up IF to the max stable (2133 to 2200 Mhz depending on chip quality) since the general AMD stance is that synchronization doesnt matter anymore as with Zen 3 for example. but that aint the case, it does matter much less but theres still an impact. in any case, might have to do with his setup or smth particular with X3D parts. but seeing as ure not seeing the same issues, probably not. can u elaborate what exactly hes seeing? dont have wifi here and only limited amount of mobile data 😄

pah, the community will always find a workaround, no worries on that front 😋

aight, finally found some time to catch up on what ive missed here. welcome to the NH55 club my friend, glad you could join! 🙂 no big updates on the Premamod front, havent done any work since last Nov-ish. as mentioned, i just upgraded my lady's machine with a 2x32 GB kit at quite tight tiimings for 3200 Mhz with 16-18-18-38. so next step would be to check and see how far i can tighten the timings at 3200 mhz and/or how far i can push the clocks. next big modding phase will likely be once 14th gen is out, im optimistic that well be able to make it work on the NH55. but no promises, as usual... BLACKY! dude so good to see you here, still remember u as an OG from the NBR days 🙂 nice lil project u got there, congratz on the success! thats the type of user we need here, pushing the limits! just ask brother @Khenglish over in his WTB thread, hes planning to do exactly that lulz: hm interesting symptoms ure describing there. might really make sense to upgrade your PSU. best to keep an eye on total wattages ure consuming, i.e. via a wattmetter from the wall socket. then ull have a better idea if its really due to a weak psu. in any case, a psu upgrade wouldnt be THAT expensive, all things considered 🙂 haha u were right on @full on wife/child grind 😄 finally managing to come up for a bit of air currently.... dont count out our machines just yet, being on the same socket is already more than halfway there 😉
