    haha that is some serious throwback right there, thanks for that! 🙂 impressive work by Matrox with the drivers, looks like they managed to get them ultra stable!

    similar approach to @Clamibot, but i dont use soap. basically just a cloth that ive previously rinsed with warm water and wrought out so thats its just damp enough to transfer some moisture and use that to get rid of any dirt / dust / oil buildup. i generally dont recommend to use isoprop on any plastic surfaces since its known to be able and leave permanent stains (depending on the plastic).

    duuude, talk about classic hardware, sweet!

    sweet find! every little bit helps, and i especially like the part where power envelope is easily unlocked for this model 🙂 ha, im guessing the vendors couldnt be bothered with increased RMA rates due to huge desktop coolers crushing the brittle silicon chips beneath their high pressure mounting systems 😄 in laptops u only have wimpy lil heatsinks that have barely enough pressure to be kept in place during transport 😅 at least we still got delidding and direct die blocks to help us out in that regard. i got my trigger finger ready... ðŸĪ

    especially considering that Arc is now a dead platform....yay....but lets see, maybe theyll do a 180 and discard the X270 before it even actually releases? lulz agreed, in current times DTRs and monster desktops are absolute luxuries to be talking about or considering spending crazy amounts of money on... (says the guy getting ready to spend a buttload of greens on his new build 😅)

    nice job bud, im sure tons of peeps appreciate what ure doing here 🙂 looking at your sig, are u able to push the RAM further or does it cap out at 3333? also be sure to tighten up secondary and tertiary timings, as well, they bring quite a singificant boost to the table after primary timings have been taken care of 🙂

    yep, lets hope nextgen clevos will bring something other than the all-intel X270 BGA abomination ðŸ˜ĩ

    ill see your direct die liquid metal and up you with silicon-integrated water cooling 😛 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-exploring-on-chip-semiconductor-integrated-watercooling

    good job on getting CRU to work, definitely a very nifty tool to have 🙂 as for refresh rate testing, be careful and take it step by step. i know its more time consuming, but its better to just go in 5 Hz steps or so. if u go too high too fast u might get stuck in a black screen or with artifacts / glitches. as for stability testing, ull be able to see it very quickly if a refresh rate is stable or not. its not like overclocking or undervolting cpu/gpu/ram where errors might need several hours or days to show up. just be sure to have a close look, sometimes its just a thin green line or similar showing signs of an unstable refresh rate setting. more obvious signs is a total black screen or big artifacts / glitches with crazy rainbow colors all over the place. enjoy! 🙂

    agreed with the above, do not mess with swollen batteries, total fire / explosion hazard. get rid of the battery and look for a replacement.

    yep, slim pickins indeed! basically the only fun model for this year would be the Clevo NH55JNNQ, ure welcome to come have a looksie in our owner's lounge 🙂

    thx bud, appreciate the info! so funny to see how the current DDR5 market is a bit like a wild west scenario, i guess vendors are just happy to have any stock available to sell off, barely any time to properly bin the chips they have 😄 golden opportunity for us tuning freaks tho!
  15. jaybee83
    thats an awesome find! could you list the serial numbers falling into this high-oc category? u mentioned before u used a slightly different serial number than originally intended. i checked for them here in europe, but no dice, no listings currently on offer. but last time they WERE listed they went for 80₮, pretty neat. the only offers i could find were on ebay from the US, but shipping and import duties would defeat the whole purpose 😛

    ooor legs of steel and the stamina of a marathon runner 😁

    hey bro @Mr. Fox that AsRock timing configurator ure using, is that for read out only or what are u using it for? currently on the lookout for some handy tools in prep for my upcoming built 🙂 been out of the desktop game for a while so need to do some catch up 😛 first three items ordered since i was able to snipe them on super low prices: Corsair M65 Ultra Mouse Seagate Firecuda 530 4TB SSD G.Skill Tridenz Z5 DDR5-6600 2x16GB RAM more to come soon! ðŸĪŠ

    rock dat obsolete tech! 😄 glad u found something bud 🙂
  19. jaybee83
    that. is. hilarious. and AWESOME at the same time LOL my and wifey are currently looking for a new appartment for rent and part of it is discussing how id be able to fit my upcoming BEAST desktop as well as my workout equipment (i do workouts at home since pandemic start) without it bothering her too much. now THATS a solution she couldnt refuse to accept 😄

    i just replayed World of Goo for like the nth time lulz still fun after all these years. funny how good ive gotten at it that levels which previously seemed IMPOSSIBLE are now doable within like 10-15 min 😄 ill definitely plan to replay the recent wolfenstein series, such an awesome gameplay and story depth... but thatll have to wait until my desktop beast is built 🙂
  21. jaybee83
    jackpot! lotsa people jealous of you for sure 😉
  22. jaybee83
    welcome back to the fold dude! happy to have u around, im sure ull be able to find like-minded mates to discuss ur current or porential future machines 😉 rock on! ðŸĪ˜
  23. jaybee83
    perfect timing to buy a budget to midrange system with prices as they are right now 🙂
  24. jaybee83
    well....definitely not optimal but at least hes replying and having some super slow progress? kinda? 😅
  25. jaybee83
    yep that sounds about right haha will that be a recurring thing, Mr.Fox the hardware reviewer? 😁👌🏞 had a look at the article, nice write up. from what ive seen so far its not big surprise that +200/+400 MT/s is about the max OCability of most DDR5 modules, right? at least for everyday operation without subambient cooling. also how funny that samsung ICs used to be all the rage for DDR4 and are now actually a con with D5 😄
