    weeeell....i have no idea what kinda short term insanity rode me there. i guess i at least wanted to give it a chance to prove itself. but nope, its crap, eats up SO MUCH performance, not even funny anymore. so lets hope and see if and when updates will fix this. cuz for now i dont really have time or nerves for another OS install 😅

    here we go: On the read side all very comparable, except for random 4K Q1T1, where mine runs 10% slower. might be due to background crap running or crappy win11 pro performance (yeah yeah i know, im already regretting it 😄) write side sequentials also quite similar. random 4k writes are interesting though, whopping 37% faster for high queue sizes (due to more chips on the 4TB disk?) but also 24% lower Q1T1 performance (could be win11 again).

    damn dude u are FAST! built and windows install inside a few hours lol. took me like 2-3 days to build mine and another 2-3 days to install and set everything up software wise. btw, thats a hell of a card to tide u over until rdna3 @3080 😂👌🏻

    noice! ill follow right up with my firecuda 530 😁👌🏻

    LOL im imagining u in the same state of mind as i was when the UPS truck FINALLY arrived delivering my 4090 😂
  6. jaybee83
    no worries then 🙂 just making sure. so can you provide some before and after temps? what exactly did u do for cleaning? and how do u notice the thermal throttling?

    oh thats gonna be a fun story to watch on GN, they actually offered to buy those metal pieces off him in order to cover the story LOL

    welp... usually id just go for a disassembly and thorough cleaning including repaste and repadding of GPU and CPU, but...no idea how easy this machine is to disassmble or how much experience you have in this kinda stuff. also, no offense, but the way you formatted this thread in combo with your forum handle doesnt inspire a lot of confidence 😅

    dude seriously this just looks so sexy yet so simple 😄 i love it. especially the fact that the gpu takes up like 40% of the footprint hahaha, nice!

    thats the right way to do it! i keep shaking my head in disbelief when reading accounts of ppl online over at overclock.net "spontaneously" deciding to go out and buy a 4090 because they were made aware of them A DAY BEFORE the launch due to the reviews coming out online. im like....wtf 😅 and no, i dont believe that such ppl would be so rich as to just be able and afford such insane purchases on the whim of a moment...

    well they (intel) HAD to compete on price, since both the platform and the power consumption aint cutting it on 13th gen. so instead they shine in RAM OC, raw power and price. something for everyone 🙂

    normally they would make the 8 pin cables split into 6+2 or 4+4 to cover all bases. i guess that was just bad luck with this particular model 😅
  13. jaybee83
    just be sure the cables are compatible for ur specific PSU.

    ok kool, just finished with Macrium Reflect and worked like a charm! Ill keep this tool for the future 🙂 wait what? 4090 in laptop? err....right holy... ok ill only bite when we reach 9000 😄

    hahaha im glad u got something in hand buddy. but dont make the mistake of settling for "worse" hardware only to have it in hand a few days earlier. its gonna bite u in the butt later down the line. and true, the big trusty tech shops in germany are mostly online only or have like a single digit number of brick n mortar stores around. not really convenient. what would be the alternative, like Media Markt / Saturn? 😅😂 LOL thanks for instantly proving my point above @biting u in the butt 😄 in any case, u can just plug in the 8 pin and ull be fine, unless ure planning to do some super serious OCing. also, looking at the pin outs, u could theoretically plug in half of an 8 pin into the 4 pin mobo, just make sure the pins align with each other in terms of their physical shape (some are square, others have rounded corners). HOWEVER! make sure that ure using the proper motherboard connectors on the PSU side. sometimes they have different pin outs for PCIe (gpu) and EPS 12V (CPU).

    aigfht, Hyperion all set up now and had my first real gaming session last night! im an absolute fan of the Wolfenstein series, so I started off again with The New Order. unfortunately, that game is frame capped at max. 60 fps, any workarounds result in sped up physics, bleh. in any case, everything maxxed out the 4090 settled in around 15-20% with 100-150W LOL. gotta love it 😄 as for tuning / overclocking, havent spent too much time on it yet since case cooling is not yet up to snuff. missing tons of fans, so not worth it yet to do any testing. for now, i just set the 7950X to PBO/PBO2 with maxxed out limits and clocks, set a quick n dirty DDR5-6000 on the RAM and off we go! ill be sure to update this thread once i get all the additional cooling gear in and the proper testing / benching / tuning starts 😉
  17. jaybee83
    oh good thinking! reminds me that i havent done any benching yet on the SSD. but in any case, still need to bench the whole friggin system lulz. Hyperion completely set up now though 😁 and had my first gaming session last night, playing through the newer Wolfenstein series once more, love those games! started off again with The New Order - unfortunately, that game is fps locked to max 60 fps and all workarounds entail sped up physics, bleh. on the flipside, the 4090 was running at like 15-20%, maxing out at 100-150W with everything cranked up to the max LOL

    from the info i gathered on the X3D tech, the 5800X3D was a beta run of sorts. they werent confident enough in the new tech to leave it fully unlocked, so they put a voltage limit in place to make sure it doesnt bite them in the butt with RMAs. so second gen X3D should be more mature, no more voltage limiting. however, what might still be in place is lower clocks at stock due to the added power consumption of the L3 cache layer. but thats no biggie, just remove the power limits, up the clocks and off u go (provided VRMs and cooling is up to snuff 🙂 )

    @Papusan I'm currently sorting out all the hardware to sell off after having finished setting up Hyperion. One of the things is to swap out the 850 Pro in my lady's machine with my previous 970 Pro. naturally, i dont wanna to a fresh install, since her system was only set up a few months ago. long story short: i wanna do some system disk cloning. used AOMEI Backupper twice, went through, but clone doesnt boot. i remembered u highly recommending Macrium Reflect so I got myself a copy and currently doing another clone with it. any experiences to share with regards to system cloning? hoping third time's the charm 🙂 her 1TB 850 Pro will then go up for sale. keep an eye out on the NBT marketplace everyone.

    haha i actually got the heatsink version of the 530 but tore it off due to the mobo heatsink. was quite tricky but worth it in the end 🙂
  21. jaybee83
    no word yet from the unicorn master on compatibility with RPL. would be a sweet upgrade though!
  22. jaybee83
    LOL, with such cute lil love stories, who needs telenovelas anymore? 😄
  23. jaybee83
    do you see the issue here? LOL as you said the CPUs keep coming way too fast hahaha. but yeah, i chose AM5 and invested in a monster mobo to at least have that settled for several years. RAM and CPUs will be frequent updates i gather!
  24. jaybee83
    haha yep, i only recently found out myself. plus lucky enough to have an ASUS board to read it out 😛 my learning curve is currently quite steep, so still feeling my way around Ryzen Master, all the Bios options and Ryzen CPU and RAM OC in particular. been out of the desktop game for so long its a bit overwhelming to have SO MANY TUNING OPTIONS ready on hand! 😅
  25. jaybee83
    i think thats a pretty safe bet to make. the measly bump in clocks that the 13900KS promises wont be enough to beat the X3D chips in gaming. however, AMD should be careful not to place similar barriers as with the 5800X3D, i.e. lower stock clocks and voltage/clock limits. we will see whats up soon enough though 🙂
