ah no, thats actually after manual tweaking to my needs and usage. i usually try to max out battery life vs performance or max screen brightness 🙂 so the tests u saw was with stock config.

give it some time, im.sure hell not be able to resist at some point mwahaha 😁😎

DAFUQ 🤣

omg dont even know if to laugh or cry on that one....so true 😄

what happened was ever higher board TDPs on desktop GPUs and more and more castrated mobile GPU TDPs 😄

definitely not much left. u might update the RAM to 2133 sticks and OC them to either 2200 or even 2400. Wifi one or two more gens newer... higher capacity SSDs.... maybe custom CPU heatsink for higher OC:...but yeah performance wise not much more to gain 🙂 good job!

add to that the neat battery life, getting around 15-17h of SOT, pretty sweet!

keep us updated on that beastly setup then 🙂

welp, nothing more to add here 😄 sorry i didnt reply earlier, im happy i can even post once every 1-3 days currently 🙂 in any case, the AF2s are definitely good products. and safest bet to get a late revision is to either buy directly from Arctic (website or ebay) or use a shop that has a lot of sales and thus fluctuation. that way u can be sure their products dont stay on shelves too long and are stocked up frequently. duuuude ure going all out with GPU purchases eh? planning to keep all of them or just test, screen and keep the ones u like? in any case, thats taking one for the team 😄 well this trend of comments is concerning....so far i cant really complain about the X670E Extreme i got from Asus, everything functioning as it should. knocking on wood that this will last! funny thing about all this is that rumor mill makes it seem like AMD themselves actually expected more from their own cards... 😅 lets see if they can fix any of those performance bugs via driver updates or if new silicon would be necessary... in any case, making the HORRIBLE 4080 look like a better deal is just....i cant even 🥲

geez... THATs why i keep telling my wife that we cant go to Canada, well freeze do death LOL

huh... hes got something in mind there, and he wouldnt leave a poll like that to chance... dont trust this as far as i can throw the platform's servers 😛

damn dude, someone's planning to go all out on his next build, i know the feeling 😄 that case looks a wee bit small though...just make sure its able to fit those 4090 monster cards 😅 as for those crazy capacity sticks...be aware that the higher cap u go the less speed ull get out of them. what u need so much RAM for, anyways? running whole datasets in memory or smth?

oh dont get me wrong, im not talking about them providing high-end. lets start with following through for one! theyll need to prove first that theyre in it to stay and be able to provide continuous driver updates, performance and stability improvements and widen their tech base. otherwise ure buying a product thats dead in the water just a year or so later. at that points doesnt matter if its cheap or not, its wasted money. yep you and me and basically the whole enthusiast community is hoping for intel to get (even a tiny) foothold in the gpu space. more competition is good, nothing new there. but as we all know, companies are not your friends, so everyone's gotta prove themselves first. that's the overall problem with Ngreedia: they SUCK SO BAD but their products are just spot on, year after year, gen after gen, they prove they can make the best performing GPUs. this combo just sucks big time cuz ud LOVE to buy ANYthing else but you just cant. thats why im also hoping for AMD to get their shit together for RDNA3 and push those cards to their initially intended targets.

LOL take your pick of 3+ year old games maxxed out on the 4090 bud 😄 aside from that, the smoooooooooooooooooooothness even on regular ol' desktop environment is unbeatable. total pleasure to work and play on this monitor 🙂 the 24 or 27 incher (cant tell lol) they provided at my workplace feels SO SMALL in comparison 😄 and very grainy, too...its "only" FHD 😛

shooting the turds, brilliant phrase 😄 yeah always kept wondering about HTWingNut's sudden disappearance, he was so super active, especially with his legendary notebook review threads. just heard rumblings regarding some personal stuff going on...

welcome to the pixel side of life bud 🙂

ha lucky me id never get the idea to buy a new car. turn the ignition keys, driver off the lot and it just lost like 30% of its worth in a blink of an eye 😄 only used cars for me, thank you sir! 😉 well in that case naturally. so uve returned all your 4090s? even the almighty "trashboat"? dont have any benches uploaded thats why you wont find anything 😄 also havent enabled ECC, just leave it off, no real use for it haha keep us posted on how the new kit is treating you 🙂 oh snap, ure sending back the suprim liquid? doesnt ur wife mind if u send back an anniversary gift she gave you? 😅 aside from that, what was the nail in coffin for that decision? the obligatory ECC enabled for benches plus high cost? yep, that definitely wasnt one of Jay's finest moments...i wasnt aware of that seemingly typical RDNA behaviour until i read the comments under that video. seems to be nothing new 😄 i guess he shouldve done minimum amount of research before posting such sensational content! forgive me but ill only believe it when i see it...Intel's got a looooooooooooooooot of ground to cover before earning any trust in the GPU space.

of course, theres always different cases around 🙂

i just hope u wont be too disappointed when getting ur hands on an A770!

just proves that Elon is just as human as the rest of us 😄 including all the idiotic behaviours we demonstrate when pushed into an uncomfortable corner haha

yeah was aware of that but its nice to have an actual manual on how to do it. thanks bud!

awesome man, welcome back. ull find NBT a more than worthy NBR successor 🙂 What the hell? 😮 preach! if you need to attack / curse at something, do it towards the hardware or the companies behind it. but not individual people 🙂

haha i absolutely 100% understand the way u feel. i had a similar thing when i recently switched from my previous huawei mate 20x to the google pixel 7 pro. just waaaay more freefom of customization, starting with unlocking BL and rooting the system. now im finally free of any shackles and can do whatever the F i want with MY phone! 🙂 plus i can look forward to significantly longer and better software update support, both officially by Google themselves and also the community 😉

oh yeah i remember pluto, used it on our google chromecast, quite handy 🙂

1000 members when? 😉
