  1. btw bro @Mr. Fox i was just thinking of you whilst watching the latest vid by Roman, hes showing off TG's upcoming direct die frame incl a matching EK waterblock for Alder Lake, supposedly also compatible with Raptor Lake (starts at around 13:50):
  2. if its only restricted to national usage, that could be realistic. i remember back in singapore they also had crazy offers like that, 100GB+ for like 10 bucks but only nationally (with SG being a city-state, thats not really much area covered lol)
  3. i think, therefore i am / we want, therefore it exists i like 😁👌🏼
  4. hey u gotta start somewhere right? plus theres always gonna be someone higher level than u (in all instances of life), so no sweat, just enjoy 😃✌🏼
  5. i hope u did that right after they lowered their 1Gbps pricing due to the new high end tier speeds haha
  6. nice, they definitely have a fixed spot on my build shopping list 😋
  7. quite the depressing perspective if you ask me 😅if this trend continues, our forum will be more reminiscing about "the good ol days" and keeping classic, EOL DTRs alive rather than discussing current tech (aside from bitchin about it, of course lol)
  8. well, naturally, drivers will stop being optimized for older os plus newer hardware wouldnt be supported anymore. i think the aspect we mostly despise is increased telemetry and junk running in the background / causing additional OS bloat without actually being actively utilized by the user.
  9. yep, no need for an additional monitor and yep again, main limitation for egpu performance is bus bandwith and latency, add to that the sometimes anemic nature of the mobile cpu in question, which cannot keep up with the monster desktop cards...
  10. what makes u say that? will we thus end up with two crappy OS versions in a row instead of alternations? 😂
  11. yessssssss, lets get all those NBR refugees united again under the new NBT roof. glad you found us, enjoy the new fledgling forum! we can use all the help we can get 🙂
  12. dude are those 18(!) fans im counting?! LOL what kinda case is that? here i thought i was the only one nuts enough to go with 14 fans (17 if gpu ends up watercooled or if you count the three gpu shroud fans when aircooled) in the build im planning 😂😁👌🏼
  13. im actually using nvidia inspector to generate a batch file that i automatically run at windows startup. the batch file forces the 980M to lowest possible voltages and clocks no matter the load (completely fine for desktop usage) and thus severely limits its power usage. i manually tested what kinda clocks i can get away with, if u go too low u start seeing graphical glitches and/or stutters.
  14. they actually have an LTSC build available, if u wanna check that out: https://phoenixliteos.com/19044-1566-LTSC-Plus/ as for Win11, the closest to LTSC would be the latest Pro Plus build: https://phoenixliteos.com/22621-169Plus/
  15. i absolutely insist on delidding that chip! 😃✌🏼 btw, new upload from GN comparing the TG contact frame at 35 bucks vs. Thermalright frame at 4.35 bucks from AliExpress *lulz* surprisingly, they are statistically performing the same even though tolerances on the TR frame are way higher. however, installation needs much more finesse and skill to get it just right.
  16. impressive progress! just goes to show how much leeway is left in terms of wide tolerance manufacturing of laptop cooling...
  17. the MUX provides more performance though, since routing the signal through the igpu as in hybrid mode robs u of significant fps in games...
  18. of course bro papu, i chose "acceptable" as the description of choice because "good" or "awesome" wouldve been way too positive a connotation 😂
  19. duuuuude that looks gorgeous, its soooooooooo wiiiiiiiiiiide 😂
  20. LOL, word! Jay is funny and knowledgeable in certain things, i.e. hands on experience with watercooling, but sometimes hes not quite on the money imho. id rather trust moores law is dead on this one, stating that the MAJORITY OF MINING GPUS HASNT EVEN STARTED TO HIT THE MARKET YET! meaning: were still at the BEGINNING of the gpu price crash LOL seriously guys, if this continues i might just grab a dirt cheap 3090ti as a "holdover" placeholder gpu until 40 series is out, widely available and all partners have released their lineup 😂 oh the irony! hahaha
  21. true, drama sells clicks n views. but still, better to be aware than be caught off guard.
