    The car I am currently driving is literally the first car I have ever owned, actually only recently bought in March (w00t w00t! 🤪) Renault Clio IV from 2017, got it with only 17500 km on the odometer for a steal., so basically a new car. But yeah, I've never been a big petrol head, it's just a tool for me to get around, especially in our region where public transport leaves a lot to be desired. Still, I DO find myself loving it, i mean, hey, it's a different thing when it's your very own amirite? 😎 Besides, first thing I did was to unlock the navigation system (which runs on Windows CE, yikes!) for it to accept non-licensed maps, that was loads of fun (pc enthusiast meets car 😂)

    ill be making the order today for my lady's machine at PCS. unfortunately their customer rep wasnt very helpful or knowledgeable (stating that the system supports XMP profiles but does not support JEDEC....like... wat?! 😂) also zero flexibility for getting a barebone from them. in any case, they still offer best bang for the buck in the EU, so thats where ill go. targeted config: - 3070 Ti - 12600 (at approx 9900K OC levels for now its deffo fast enough for her, upgrade to 12900K or raptor lake in a few years) - 2x8 GB DDR4-3800 taken from my Dark Knight (the things you do for love 😋) - 1TB 850 Pro taken from her current Dell Vostro. will give her my 1TB 970 Pro once I upgrade sometime later this year. - AX201 Wifi included in order, will keep that one although unnecessary since shes already rocking an AX200 via m.2 adapter in her Dell Vostro. will have to sell it off on ebay or here. the aim is longevity to the max, if possible to keep her happy with this machine for at least 10 years (shes had her current Dell for 11!). so im guessing after 4-5 years well do one major upgrade for cpu (12900k or better), ram (32 or 64gb), storage (add to the then existing 2TB ssds) and wifi (whatever is current at that time). the gpu im not worried about in terms of performance, thatll definitely be enough for her since her gaming needs are quite frugal. just hope that the gpu will not give out on us sometime down the line. but hey mobo swap is still an option, amirite? 😋 gotta LOVE upgradeable laptops! 😃😁😎
  3. jaybee83
    yeah thats basically the single most listed complaint about that case ive seen so far, limited space on the backside for cable management...

    cool idea for this thread 😃 OG jaybee83 on NBR:
  5. jaybee83
    sweeeet im actually looking at the enthoo pro II as a case for my future build 🙂 any notes from ur experience so far? also looks like ure rocking the arctic freezer II, is that the 420? exactly the one im planning to go for 😁
  6. jaybee83
    good guide bud, ive personally been using parted magic in a live ram environment via usb stick to properly reset my ssds every once in a while. helps keep them fresh performanse-wise!

    been using the "triumvirate" of thermal pastes ICD, GC Extreme and Kryonaut for ages now, coupled with Gallinstan as a super cheap alternative to brand name liquid metal pastes. still have a huge tube of kryonaut to get through, but looks like there are some new players to check out 🙂 good thread!

    in the end it doesnt matter, since u can just limit the max wattage and turn any 9900 sku into an 9900T, basically. but yeah, its definitely a beast inside a laptop and not straight-forward to tame 😄
  9. jaybee83
    oh boy that depends on like a gazillion factors.... the bin, clocks, voltage, application, ambient temperature, cooling (paste, delid, surrounding thermal pads, etc.) i have mine set up at 42/44/46/47/47/48/48/50x Multis for 8 to 1 cores in use, respectively, with a -100 mV UV applied to it. Idles around 40-50, goes up to 70C with light use (browser, media consumption, games, office, etc.) and up into the 90s under heavy loads (transcoding, benching, etc.) can go up to 5.2 ghz for benches but yeah, that is definitely not stable for everyday 😄

    Have been rocking my current P751DM for about 7 years now: CPU - 6700K (Stock) to 7700K (SL bin) to 9900K (SL bin) Storage 1 - 1TB 850 Pro SATA to 1TB 970 Pro M.2 4x3.0 pcie Storage 2 - Added 2x4TB 860 Evo SATA RAM - Upgraded to 4x8GB DDR4-3800 (dont recall stock config lol) Cooling - Repadded and repasted everything on CPU, GPU, VRMs, PCH with liquid metal, fujipoly pads, kryonaut / Delidded CPU and repasted with liquid metal between die & ihs Wifi - Intel 8265 to Intel AX200 Been thinking about upgrading my 980M to a P5200 for a longer while... At the same time, ive now been saving up for a monster desktop for about 2 years now and planning to drop the cash once AM5 and RTX 40 series come out 😛 decisions, decisions! Maybe ill just do both 😁 My Dark Knight is pretty close to my heart, after all....
  11. jaybee83
    very good info my man 😁 - the fact the machine did not boot is a good sign, means that the ram settings actually do something. but at the same time it also means that the settings are hidden at stock. is it possible in xtu to set ram clocks and timings? - check and see if u can do anything with afterburner or precisionx when gpu oc is enabled in bios - good to see that at least TS allows UV. but as mentioned above, xtu might allow us to access ram tweaking? - kool, definitely some tweaking room left there! - whats the behaviour now with e cores disabled vs. enabled? u mentioned before u weirdly get higher temps and lower scores with e cores disabled. absolutely agree on the binning, delidding, proper cooling part of the cpu. the cooler the better to be able and reach lower voltages and thus higher clocks 🙂
  12. jaybee83
    dude, youre a rock star! so that suggests that going the K route still has advantages even though we are thermally and TDP limited in this chassis, nice! what do the scores look like with E cores enabled? looks like ill have to check with PCS if theyre willing to ship our unit with either a 12700K or 12900K 😛 in their configurator they only offer non-K skus... really too bad they dont offer barebones, but lets see, never hurts to ask 😉 edit: ok i checked with PCS on RAM compatibility, K CPU availability, Screen options and possibility to purchase the system as a barebone. lets see what they have to say, will keep you guys posted 🙂 also checked with brother Prema, seems like PCS is the only Clevo licensed shop in the EU that offers the 3070 Ti model.
  13. jaybee83
    thx for proving my point! 😁🤣 feels good to be back!
  14. jaybee83
    BGA soldered crap FTW! tend to the masses! 😅 im eyeing PCSpecialist here in the EU to get the machine for my gf.
  15. jaybee83
    so 2021 seems to be more "feature rich" eh? 😅 and yeah ive run into a few compatibility issues with 1809 unfortunately. lets see, so far 2021 still seems to be a better choice than win11... thx for the info bud, unfortunately ive run out of reactions to give for today 😇 currently saving up to jump over to the desktop, waiting for AM5 and RTX 40 series to pop up before i pull the trigger. first desktop build in 15 years for me! 😁
  16. jaybee83
    hey bro, since uve tested both LTSC 2019 and 2021, whats your take between the two? been rocking 2019 ever since it came out and thus currently eyeing the successor.
  17. jaybee83
    sweet! here's to hoping that we can re-built the NBR community from its ashes 🙂 do we have some kinda "PR" going on for NBT? so far it seems like word is spreading just by ex members word of mouth (like in my case, had no idea about this until recently)
  18. jaybee83
    technically yes, but for that i would need to downgrade multiple firmware versions, unfortunately more recent versions are not unlockable anymore.... in any case, currently on the lookout for a new phone but its tricky. sorry for the OT, guys! carry on 🙂
  19. jaybee83
    kool, thanks for the pointer! unfortunately im out of reactions for today haha
  20. jaybee83
    haha good point 😄 i shouldve probably mentioned that i manually removed all chinese bloatware crap that was removable and blocked the non-removable stuff from executing (at least as much as possible without having root access). but yeah, as i mentioned in my phone post, its really difficult to find such hardware combo in a phone nowadays, so gotta make compromises, unfortunately...
  21. jaybee83
    Have been rocking a Huawei Mate 20X, chinese model with 8/256GB config. what i absolutely love about this phone is the combo of high capacity battery (5000 mAh), big screen (7.2 inch!), relatively current hardware and stereo speakers. what i dont like: basically no option to unlock BL and mod software (unless downgrading to super old firmware) although its been lotsa fun im currently looking for a replacement, but its difficult to find such screen sizes anymore without going foldable...in any case, im eyeing the asus rog phone 5s, but worried the screen might be too small for my taste...lets see, maybe i can last a few months longer for smth better to show up sometime this year. unfortunately, the battery is getting a bit long in the tooth 😅
  22. jaybee83
    man, this is exactly the kinda stuff that forums like NBR / NBT are awesome for, thanks for sharing!
  23. jaybee83
    very cool, i was actually looking for exactly such a debloater script as by Chris Titus, thx for pointing me to that!
  24. jaybee83
    Longtime SRWare Iron user here, Chromium based with a bit more "focus on privacy". Curious to see what DuckDuckGo will bring to the table once their windows browser is out. Opera GX sounds interesting, might be giving it a whirl 😊
  25. jaybee83
    same same! what would a forum be without the likes of you and papusan haha 😁 hahaha appreciate the warm and fuzzy welcome 😁 as far as i understand you're the guy who made NBT happen? job well done, keep it up! 👍🏼😃 out of curiosity, what kinda member count are we looking at currently? NBT has been up since end of jan this year approx, right?
