  1. highly interesting thread! maybe also make a collection of P5200 vbios versions to help the community in this regard 🙂 hope someone can help out here with the missing versions ure looking for!
  2. deeper pockets indeed, were talking medical, R&D, military and other high-stakes critical systems where such an in-place upgrade is pennies compared with their total system costs. such potent customers are the only reason Nvidia and a few board partners like PNY still offer such cards. their initial system purchases were made with the promise of long-term support including available upgrade paths down the line. so as long as these contracts arent fulfilled yet, Nvidia will HAVE to make standard MXM form factor gpus available to those customers. lucky for us, albeit at high pricing and "lottery style" availability on the open market 😛
  3. aw man here i thought you were already long aware of openRGB, its really a life saver! just one little tool and done, no more having to install 10 different softwares in order to tune in the RGB settings u want! 🙂
  4. hm, this is weird. if it was due to a missing microcode update to support the cpu, it wouldnt boot at all, just black screen. im suspecting that there might be an issue with the VRMs not handling initial boot power spikes from the KS properly? try the following: go into the bios submenus and set all wattage and amperage limits you can find to 125W or 90A max. maybe that could help...

    BIOS settings guide?

    you should try and have a look at the NBRchive, (almost) complete backup of NBR 🙂 its available right here in the forums!
  6. whoa whoa hold the horses there 😄 as far as i can see, that person's analysis is solely based on the appearance of the putty after taking off the heatsink. K5 Pro is quite viscuous, not as thin and liquid as regular thermal paste. so pulling off the heatsink would likely cause "micro-tears" that would look exactly like this. also, the other stuff thats being described @not drying out, oily, etc. is exactly what you would want it to do: to NOT dry out, same goes for regular thermal paste 😛 naturally, using such thermal putty comes with the disadvantage of having to clean it off and that might be a PITA if u take the heatsink off regularly.
  7. you could stick to the thermal putty like K5 Pro, that way u dont need to check which thickness u need exactly.
  8. as you said yourself, its a gamble. could work, could end in disaster 🙂
  9. couldnt agree more. lets hope they learned from past mistakes and listen to their community this time around 🙂
  10. haha whats making you risk going insane-ish? 🙂 good to have u back man! hope the vacay was good, mine is up next friday, wooo 😁
  11. haha as mentioned before, if ur upgrade is still a few months off id be able to offer u my 980M including Prema Mod vBios for unlocked / energy efficient / stable performance 😉 but i gotta switch to my planned monster desktop first haha
  12. AliExpress is your best bet then to get even lower prices. but beware, shipping times might be loooooong, so better order sooner rather than later 😅
  13. ugh that sux, sorry to hear that. what exactly does this tool help u do? just curious.
  14. dayum, 399 MB ISO size is insane! i love it 😁
  15. yep, the 3800 kit im using does actually have Samsung B Die chips. so far no access to any RAM tuning, but the plan is to change exactly that with some unicorn magic 😉 havent gotten around yet to using the new bios chip clamp and cable with my programmer, the past few days have been quite busy in real life haha. but the next week should be interesting, plan is to revive the machine from the current black screen via direct bios flash to the chip, then reassemble, repair the current windows install (got shot during our extensive testing lol), make a system backup and then get back to bios tweaking with Prema 🙂
  16. here is to hoping that there is indeed a worthy X170 DTR successor from Clevo aside from the ghastly X270 recently published 😅 but hey, maybe thats just the all Intel version, lets hold out for an all AMD or AMD+Nvidia socketable version? 😛
  17. omg YES! actually stumbled upon this via the latest Techlinked video and wanted to check out the video, thanks for that 😄
  18. no worries, also got our fun corner for desktop lovers here 🙂 every tech head is welcome here!
  19. this made me smile... crypto can crash and burn for all i care 😁
  20. oh this is a dream come true for the likes of @Papusan and @Mr. Fox, remove the GUI altogether and run everything from command line, lets get that last cpu and ram cycle squeezed out! 😁
  21. welcome back dude! and yes, the NBR die hards / core members have reported for duty here at NBT 🙂
  22. cpu die to copper ihs - liquid metal copper ihs to heatsink - regular paste (going with kryonaut) since its not my own machine i dont like to mess around with liquid metal on top of the ihs, just a precaution. nevertheless, i still expect a significant temperature drop 🙂 btw, the bios clamp and cable is arriving today, wooooo!
  23. so many interesting new pastes to check out! remind me again, why did i go with a humongous 37 gram syringe of Kryonaut? 😄 also still have some leftover stock of ICD and GCE...
