  1. yep, for sure. liquid metal under the IHS can easily make a 10-15C difference. 20C might be a bit of a stretch, but it aint unheard of. likely a combo of beneath and above the IHS. plus different cpus, systems etc.... lots of variables.
  2. interesting, so u havent beaten ur best 5950x scores yet in CB20? just judging by the saved scores i mean.
  3. indeed. there were some leaked internal preliminary tests by AMD that showed the following: 1st gen 3D-VCache 5800X3D vs. 5800X = +15% faster 2nd gen 3D-VCache 7000X3D vs. 7000X = +30% faster imagine Intel's reaction when AMD brings 30% faster gaming cpus just a few short months after Raptor Lake hits the shelves, which in turn are only a few % faster than non-3D Zen 4 cpus 😄 its definitely an awesome time for PC enthusiasts with lots of competition going on.
  4. because they will quickly follow-up with second gen 3D VCache in Q1 2023 already! i dont really think AMD is worried too much about Raptor Lake... should be a very close call across all disciplines. in the end ill choose to go with the platform that offers significantly longer lifetime 😛
  5. awesome bud, glad eurocom was able to help you out on this one 🙂 keep that beast alive!
  6. GPU prices be like: haha sorry couldnt resist! ðŸĪĢ but yeah, this is indeed a combination of factors that merits a low-priced new gen of gpus, very strong competition from AMD with RDNA3, flodded used market, mining crash, high inflation, most consumers being cautious and gamin' aint really a high priority in this economy for most people...
  7. noice! +83% performance, now thats what i call a nice jump ðŸĪ˜ ah gotta love the P870 series, what a BEAST! also, nice to see my lady`s 3070 Ti Laptop is getting EXACTLY the same result (117.2 fps avg.) as a 3080 at 150W ðŸĪ 
  8. at least Arctic is doing an exemplary job of getting ahead of this and offering free service to their customers, no questions asked: this behaviour only confirms my plan to go with an arctic LFII 🙂
  9. take ur time, such things better not be rushed 🙂 im not sure if the TM stock bios already implemented support for CFL-R or if u actually need a modded bios for that. but first things first, lets cross that bridge when we get there. as plan B u might still be able to flash Dsanke bios for proper support.
  10. it can sometimes take a bit of time until the capacitors are fully drained of all power. also, be aware that after a cmos pull the first boot takes a lot of time, let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes to make absolutely sure it does not boot. so i assume ure trying to boot with the 9900K? has it successfully booted before in your machine?
  11. have u gotten the 9900K to boot at all yet in your machine? or is that still with ur old cpu? if its with the 9900K and u havent gotten it to work at all, swap back the old cpu and update ur bios & EC to the newest versions. if its with ur old cpu, take out RAM, battery, power cable and the CMOS battery, then keep the power button pressed for 20 seconds, reassemble and try again. thatll reset ur bios, NVRAM and EC to default values in case u made some non-booting changes.
  12. so much for their exaggerated marketing regarding ULTRA UPGRADEABLE LAPTOP when they initially launched the area 51m... aint nobody gonna tell me they HAD to implement those super slight mods so as to make the new gpus incompatible with the old chassis....ugh
  13. im in a similar situation, upgraded my initial 6700K to 7700K and then to my current 9900K. iirc the TM had stronger CPU VRMs on the mobo, so juice-wise ull likely be able to clock higher than me. at the same time though, i have a SiliconLottery binned chip thats in the top 5% of all 9900K so less voltage needed to reach certain multis. one core u can basically go as far as the silicon lets you, u just need to ensure that the applied voltage offset is also stable at the higher core count multis. the max settings i could achieve wattage and thermal wise were the following, at -100mV offset: 1C = 50x 2-3C = 48x 4-5C = 47x 6C = 46x 7C = 44x 8C = 42x note that these settings are for everyday usage, including hot summer days and heavy loads with AVX enabled. so fire and forget, basically. based on testing, i was able to run up to 46x all cores on medium to heavy-ish loads without AVX, gaming could potentially be even higher. so depending on - your ambient temps - your cooling capabilities (i.e. thermal paste, liquid metal, delid, copper IHS, etc.) - your chip quality (UV stability) - VRMs (max wattage possible before your mobo gives out) - usage pattern (AVX, non-AVX or gaming only) u will see significantly different results. best thing to do: get to know your specific chip and its limits in your particular machine with the applications u most use. its a journey! 🙂
  14. yas! the more the merrier, good to have experienced folks from good ol' NBR finding their way here. rock da Alienware & MSI forums here! ðŸĪ˜ðŸ˜
  15. id say yes, were talking almost 10C lower at same voltage and multi and even 2C lower still at one multi higher and +30mV thats basically a delid worth of added cooling right there!
  16. but but but....it looks so NICE! rounded corners! new wallpaper! and most importantly, its NEW and SHINY! ðŸĪŠ
  17. yep thats what im suspecting. planning to check with premamod and a higher tier psu at some point, we definitely have thermal headroom on the gpu for higher sustained / more stable clocks. cpu will be tricky, especially with the upcoming 13900K id wager haha. yep, agreed. im currently testing all possible combinations of ram stick pairs since the G.Skill 3800 kit i have is 4x8GB. so far done with 3 out of 6 possible pairings, no luck yet in breaking the 3500/3800 barriers for G1/G2. what i HAVE noticed though, is that different pairs need different training times to reach 3500/G1, i.e. the very first pairing took about 3 minutes bootloop training, whereas the last one i did last night took 12-13 minutes to finally boot. AIDA64 testing also showed significant performance differences, so im guessing tertiary timings play a big role in this regard. so based on this, even if none of the pairs differ in max Mhz achieved, ill still check their respective performance numbers to make sure i get the best pairing for subtimings. and yes, i also suspect its a combo of cpu imc and mobo (hopefully more of the former!). ur input makes me hopeful that it is indeed the former.
  18. same boat passenger here. im ready to get my mind / socks / butt / everything else blown (off) once i switch to monster desktop land in sep/oct ðŸĪŠ

    Astronomy

    thats actually a quite hilarious idea. or how about the stuff left behind on the moon by the apollo astronauts? that would also be sweet. btw, cant wait for artemis to make headway so we can finally get back to the moon! 4K HDR live stream from the moon, anyone? 😁
  20. true, BGA always sucks, but at least u can give the hardware some leeway in terms of wattage limits (or non-existence thereof, just juice until the VRMs / psu gives out on you! 😛 )
  21. cool man, thanks for the data! can u go ahead and try running firestrike extreme or ultra stress test for like 10 min? furmark has the tendency to artificially throttle down the gpu so we might not be getting the actual peaks. also, up the HWInfo polling to as fast as it can go at 50ms so we can catch any quick peaks, as well 🙂 so far it looks like its working, but doesnt provide much more power headroom vs the stock psu, as seen in the max system power at just 234W...
