haha yep better safe than sorry after the recent charades 😄

awesome drive for sure that 990 Pro 🙂 i wonder when theyll finally release the 4TB version...

oh my, aint that a lovely timing 😎

then wed have to do in person meet ups or converse by snail mail for our forum threads 😅

oh nice, didnt realize ure also in the Suprim X 4090 club 😄 how high can u go on your core? also, which vbios would u reocmmend? im still on the OG Strix OC since it lets me downclock the GPU suuuuper low for idle operation. but im eyeing the 666W HOF or the Asus 1000W but the latter disables any thermal protections, hum... any input appreciated 🙂 huh, the scandinavians mustve missed that, they still survive their sauna sessions at up to 120°C 😄 but jokes aside, thats what sweating and wind chill factor is for, 42C ambient air doesnt mean that ull die instantly, human body still has thermal controls in place to survive 🙂

yeah its funny how CPUs somehow have a far higher thermal density and require much higher-end pastes / LM whereas GPUs with their insane TDPs are quite "happily chugging along" even with regular pastes.

noice, on that topic im also getting my 8200 sticks in today, excited!

...until they all start burning up, as well 😅crazy times we live in guys...scary af, especially with a lil kid under my wing now. really wonder what kinda world shell be living in when shes my current age....

3240 is damn impressive, i can only go up to 3120 with my suprim X (air) before it settles down around 3045-3060 after heat soaking. vRAM is about the same though at around 1500. yeah so far so good with my seasonic cable, no melting 🙂 *knocking on wood*

haha i never said it would work! 😛 youre absolutely right my man, so back to topic: I also purchased a medium sized mod mat from GamersNexus. I was originally planning to go with the fullsized one, but then got out my measurement tape and realized how FREAKISHLY huge that thing is lulz. wouldnt fit on my desk without having to shove away everything else haha. so medium size it is! btw, its a good timinng to order a mod mat at GN, in case youre interested: they recently published this full length documentary about AMD (planning for Intel and Nvidia in the future, as well): in celebration of that, theyre currently signing autographed mod mats not just by Steve, but also the full team that was involved in the making of said documentary 🙂 aside from that, the current batch of the medium sized mod mat apparently has a print error on it, so youre basically getting a rare "misprint" mistake by GN and they include some goodies to make up for that: sooo yeah, if youve been eyeing to purchase a mod mat, now is a good time! the offer for the additional autographs will last for 7 days after publication of the documentary, so its still valid until..... aw crap, sorry guys, seems like that offer was only valid until 15-Jul LOL. didnt intend to lead you on like that, only realized it just now when checking the publication date of the video 😅 sowwyyyyy

Vasudev my man, havent seen you in forever! how are things? 🙂

ah yes u mentioned that before. in that case u could go the UV route to save on amperage and potentially free up more headroom (unless uve already done so).

it depends. if you have a stock / locked bios then the only hope you have is via Intel XTU for RAM overclocking. youll have to try multiple version of XTU, based on experience there might be some older versions that offer more tuning options for a specific laptop / cpu model than newer ones. so its a trial and error with lots of patience thing....as RAM tuning usually is 😄 and yes, im tuning my RAM, just like basically everything else in my systems haha 😛

if the 7945HX behaves the same with regards to thermal max boosting and the stock thermal limit is the same at 95C then your chip should be maxxed out at 85-90C. but naturally, any additional thermal headroom could come in handy for additional oc 🙂

just sniped myself a Teamgroup DDR5-8200 2x24 GB kit, been waiting for 8200 kits to become more readily available here in europe. i was initially eyeing the respective G.Skill kit, but in the end Teamgroup was cheaper, had better availability and also tighter stock timings, albeit at a slightly higher voltage. normally i wouldnt have bothered to upgrade from my current G.Skill DDR5-6600 2x16GB kit, especially since ryzen 7000 can only go up to like 6200-6600 (mostly depending on cpu IMC). however, one of the G.skill dimms gave out on me with regards to its RGB strip, so wanted to avoid any downtime during the warranty process. funny enough, im actually using the dimms switched off without RGB due to temps, makes roughly a 10C difference between RGB switched on and off lulz. naturally, this has a significant impact on how far i can tighten the subtimings. im also using a 140 mm fan blowing directly onto the dimms for an additional 10-12C drop, so total 20+C less than stock with RGB. thanks for bro @Mr. Foxon providing a headsup on the fickle temperature dependency of DDR5 modules 🙂 the kit should arrive this week, if all goes well, looking forward to it!

haha HECK OF A WAY to introduce yourself, nice! welcome! 🙂 well i for one sure as heck hope that they actually DO improve something between gens, even if based on core count alone it would seem like the same product 🙂 although i jumped on the AM5 wagon personally, im still following the socket 1700 intel cpus closely fpr my lady`s machine. guess how happy i was to hear that 14th gen is still on the same socket, mwahaha. let's see how far we can take Clevo's last upgradeable laptop before they went full on BGA.... 😛 on the subject of HOF cards: i saw u got urself a 4090 HOF. how does it compare with the MSI liquid u had before? do the dual 16 pin connectors even do anything outside of subambient cooling? are you using the 666W stock or 1000W+ xoc vbios? what kinda clocks u getting on core and vram? curious 🙂 welp, first of all: aside from the 2000W+ psu ull need to get urself a postable AC unit and blast ice cold air into your laptop when u tweak / bench it (either that or move to norway in winter and bench outside during nighttime like bro papu 😄 )

very helpful, thanks for the input guys! since ive been out of the loop for like 9 months, whats the conclusions so far with regards to the honeywell pads? where does it slot in vs. high end pastes like kryonaut extreme / KPX / liquid metal?

on this subject...

oooh do i glimpse a 6900XT there? surprising to see that in a fox build 😏 mustve missed that during my absence haha

dude, you must be so proud and excited right now 😁 keep us updated on temps, clocks, performance, everything! u gonna do some tweaking to it, i.e. thermal pads, repasting, etc? huh! hows ur airflow set up? might be sufficient to add an extra fan or two for additional airflow over the heatsinks. also, are the firecuda and wd850x covered by a big fat gpu? mkay...hope this isnt some kinda new trend popping up with 13900K(S) cpus dying left n right 😅 thx for the info on the teamgroup modules 🙂

aw dude i SO wouldve gone for the 7900xtx instead...but hey, at least ure having fun with it 😁😋

ha, ddr5-8200 48GB kits finally available, in the end i went for teamgroup with a tad higher vdimm but also tighter timings vs the gskill kit. looking forward to tweaking it 🙂 bro @Mr. Foxi remember u having some positive experiences with teamgroup modules, right? havent tried them before.

thats basically the pcie 5.0 ssd to get, at least for the time being. i expect upcoming models to be able and saturate pcie 5.0 4x with seq speeds soon, lets hope 4KB performance will also show a nice bump 🙂 no reason for me to upgrade yet, still happy with my Firecuda 530 4TB. but its nice to know that my mobo sports a buttload of pcie lanes, so no worries on having to cap the gpu bandwidth for a fast drive 😁

haha using a thermal pad on the CPU, crazy times we live in 😄 nah, the frame doesnt do much for temps, "maybe" 1 degree improvement, if not related to measurement error. its more for looks and/or easier thermal paste cleaning 😛

what do you get when you combine bros @papusan and @mr. fox ? moderate climate 😋
