its all about style, the noctua 4080 will sport the targeted brown / tan color theme 😁 plus itll be superior to any other gpu fan cooling out there hahaha afaik there is no noctua 4090 yet right?

haha niiiiice that is a bold choice! u should get Noctua on board as a sponsor for that build 😉 now i really wanna see a build thread on this....

sounds fancy! you got a specific color scheme in mind with that case?

thats ok guys, back to the topic at hand 🙂 its weird that ure getting a blackscreen with the 6700k, it should work out of the box. can u test it in another machine to make sure it works? sorry to hear about the 970M my friend...if youre interested i still have a 980M laying around with premamod vbios 😉

welcome buddy! i am sure you will have tons of fun with your P771DM, enjoy! 🙂

good to hear there are still ppl around to keep the NH55 lounge alive 🙂 ill be giving my lady a ram upgrade for her upcoming bday to 2x32 GB at 3200 mhz, should be fun to see how far i can push those. on the current 3800 sticks i maxed out at 3500 gear 1 and 3800 gear 2 with the 12600 cpu in it. yeah thats exactly what im hoping for, better efficiency and binning on the 14th series, just what the doctor ordered for our NH55 machines 😋

oh i sure hope i dont hit a mobo limitation too soon, but rather keep hitting CPU IMC and DIMM bottlenecks. i mean, i paid more than enough for the Asus X670E Extreme to be able and properly pull it forward while upgrading 😛 so far its looking good, only the IMC holding us back. speculating to be able and upgrade my lady's machine to a 14900K down the line with some Prema magic.... 😄 but thats still way in the future hahaha

haha yeaaaah, im a bit of a data hoarder.... 😛 please do tell us more.... build thread incoming? 😉

curious to see if i can get tighter timings at 6200 Mhz with the G.Skill DDR5-8200 48GB kit im eyeing. also wanted to try to run "Gear 2" mode to check and see how high i could get the clocks without focusing on latency 🙂

huh sounds like the forum has gotten more quiet overall? or is this just for the thread? the "townsquare" thread seems to be alive and kickin' tho, plus the membership numbers have gone up considerably since last i checked, so good signs 🙂 besides, im sure other users might just be hibernating for a bit like i did / am doing ^^ not fully back, but might post a bit here and there. nothing to cry about with a 3060 my friend, i must admit my setup is overkill for (almost) everything i do hahaha. for video transcoding its a blast to be able and go through a full movie length clip in like 6-12 minutes via NVENC on the 4090, used to take me like 60-90 minutes on my 9900K previously ^^ plus crazy to see Control maxxed out being able to keep the 4090 in check, but at 4K with RT maxxed out and no DLSS its still chugging along at like 70-90 FPS 😄

thats an absolute steal of a deal, and the 6700xt is basically recommended as the card to get in any and all price/perf. comparisons currently for gpus. its an overall market for value buyers, so luckily we at least still have those previous gen cards around. lets see how long stock will last though... huh, wasnt aware that dual ranking would have any improvements on ryzen 7000, i thought that was just applicable to ryzen 5000?

hahaha nice to be missed boys! no worries i wont completely disappear, actually have NBT open all the time as a sticky tab in my browser, just dont get around to reading / posting much lately 🙂 having a lil princess baby is a blast though, totally different life! still, once my two ladies are asleep i steal myself away to spend time with Hyperion 😋 so if you havent noticed my updated sig yet: upped my storage to a whopping total of 24 TB ssd goodness (redundancy FTW, about time im doing some backup action!) and also rocking a total of 14 case fans now: - 6x noctua NF-A14 industrialppc-3000 in push / pull on my arctic freezer II 420 as intake in the front - 3x arctic P12 A-RGB as intake in the bottom - 3x arctic P14 A-RGB as outlets in thr top - 1x arctic P14 A-RGB in the back as outlet - 1x arctic P14 A-RGB on my ram to keep it cool while i blast 1.5+ V through it for tightest timings so total of 9 fans intake, 4 fans outlets and 1 fan inside the case for a net positive pressure, keeping everything nice n clean / dustfree. those dustfilters in the enthoo pro II work like a charm btw and very easy to clean! here the current rainbow puke goodness: i like the simplistic white of the suprim x in the middle of all those colors, add to that the thin rgb case stripe 😃

oh im having a blast with our cute lil princess! no time for much else except household chores and work, but thats life worth living! 🙂 lulz actually just watched that clip, hilarious how creative those scammers are! 😄 but nah, got very good deals on additional 4TB 860 Evos, 150€ a piece and most of them basically new with super low TBW. very happy about that 🙂 and dude, the lil one is only 3.5 months but already looks waaaaay different from the day she was born, time flies with lil kids... the former, and unfortunately the barebone was the very first thing that was snatched up! makes sense, since it had a one of a kind PremaMod installed on it 😉 (no worries, got permission from the unicorn master to be able and sell it with the machine). sure bud! that one is still available and also comes with preinstalled PremaMOD vBios 🙂 hit me up via DM if youre interested. not that i wanna toot my own horn here, but just in case u guys are interested, i also still got the following hardware to get rid of: - G.Skill RipJaws 2x8 GB DDR4-3800 SO-DIMMs - 330W Delta PSU with 4 pin barrel connector - Rockit cool Delidding kit for Intel 3rd up to 10th gen - Intel Celeron G3900 with stock intel cooler (ikr 😛 used it for testing purposes on my Dark Knight hahaha) can also just check my ebay account gabe-george2 for details. but be sure to hit me up via DM here for NBT discounts haha. yooo Raiderman! NBT da place to be for us old NBR farts hahaha. hope ure well 🙂 oh and here some rainbow unicorn puke for brother papu @Papusanwe all know how much he loves it 😄

sup bitches 😁 thought id come up for air a bit from my "daddy leave" haha i can see our townsquare thread exploded in my absence, good job guys! enjoying Hyperion whenever i find 5 minutes or so for tinkering / media / gaming. just recently expanded my SSD storage to 24 TB total (for redundancy purposes, thought its finally time to get some backup action going). also currently parting out and selling off my beloved P751DM Dark Knight on ebay, damn that took me a while to finally get around to it... next purchase is likely a 2x24GB DDR5-8200 kit, my current 6600 kit has a defective RGB strip on one of the sticks. the new kit would help me avoid any downtime during the warranty process (perfect excuse to upgrade lulz). DDR5 prices have been decreasing incsaaaaanely ever since i got the 6600 kit, crazy stuff! cheers!

whats wrong with this picture....? EXTREMELY LIGHTWEIGHT?! seriously?! *facepalm*

LOL oooooooooooooonly if you have time and feel like it bud 😄 dont wanna cram your freetime full with nonsense 😉

looking forward! i actually didnt choose the black shaft cuz i didnt wanna wait extra long, joke's on me i guess 😄 received an update yesterday that its close, should be here in the coming days 🙂 perfect timing, we got in a HUGE haul of furniture today hahaha dont get confused and mix them up 😄

iirc Eurocom does offer "unlocked" bios versions. theyre not as good as Prema Magic, of course, but still offer more than full stock. do you sport one of those? her? 😄 if one cannot change anything about the hardware, i.e. getting new RAM sticks / new CPU, then u might wanna look into RAM temps, as well. reducing RAM temps under load can help a ton with stability under OC conditions. would involve some modding though, i.e. drilling holes into the bottom cover, using a cooler stand or implementing an additional fan for extra airflow across the modules.

ok, cool! i wasnt aware that MXM-A cards were released for the Ampere gen, good info! in that case theres still a chance then 🙂

any particular reason ure aiming for the Strix? at identical prices all around id probably opt for either Suprim X or Strix myself but with current pricing the Strix is just way way WAY overpriced. while not giving anything back performance-wise. haha lets see how long it takes to wear down your rational parts 😄 welp, at least we still have other choices available, plus the platform behind AB (RivaTuner) will continue to be developed. so theres a chance a custom stand-alone tool will come out or maybe another vendor would take over. im still hoping that EVGA will continue developing their Precision X tool, Ive actually come to prefer it over AB after bro @Mr. FoxFox recommended it (using it with an MSI Suprim X btw, works nicely) thats the smart way to do it my friend. and being a hardware enthusiast doesnt necessarily mean u always play around with the latest n greatest, just means u appreciate hardware at another level vs. regular joe 🙂 sigh, i feel ya... i have roughly 2500€ worth of hardware laying around that i wanna sell off. and plan is STILL to post it here on NBT first. whatever is left over will go on ebay. but that needs time! argh

not only that, but AMD is apparently planning hybrid cpus in laptops with regular Zen4 cores coupled with "Zen4c" cores, basically cut down Zen 4 cores tuned for efficiency, lower clocks and lower peak performance. sounds familiar? 😅 apparently, especially the 7600 and 7900 skus are pretty good, the 7700 is more in a nomandsland and cant really compete with the intel offerings...

good point. like on NBR ud have a separate section where u could list all threads u posted in or that uve subscribed to. that would be quite handy 🙂 unless we already have that option here and ive just been too ignorant to stumble upon it haha

all BGA Clevo X370? more info on that please so i can properly vomit and mourn.... 😅

LOL lovely, nicely put hahaha thats the thing though, right? on one hand u get those STUPID naming schemes and Nvidia doing their best to hide any shortcoming from the consumers via their non-existent spec sheets. on the other hand u get 3090-3090Ti performance in a frigging laptop at one third the board power (which is, of course, awesome, but also still to be proven by third party reviews and hands on users). in the end it just leaves you with a sour bitter taste in your mouth with a hint of confusion and melancholic thoughts towards the "good ol' days"...sigh

wow that sounds....wonky. but hey, if it works, why not? more options! 😄
