  1. i dont even know if id rather cry in the corner, laugh my butt of or just shrug at that. i think for my mental health the latter would probably be the best option 😄
  2. even though im not located in the states ive heard this complaint about "PLEASE GIMME MOAR MC STORES!" basically eeeeverywhere. seems like they have a very very cautious approach regarding expansion and would rather focus more on expanding / pimping up their existing stores. cant blame them, high level of competency and service is not easy to implement. same goes probably for EVGA, thats why theyre always late to the party and always low on stock (everyone wants their good shit! 😄 )
  3. got the machine in today! very sleek, got a nice feel to it. and amazing to see how much smaller the footprint is, including the 230W brick which is also way smaller than the 230W brick i originally got with my P751DM. good to see that psu tech also made some progression! next steps: compile driver package, secure erase ssd via linux, prep windows install usb, build system with gf, then install everything and get to tuning 😁
  4. how much u wanna bet theyll say that u did that? due to "unprofessional handling" of the board because u aint one of their "highly trained" technicians? 😂 man this sux a$$, im feeling for ya...
  5. ah, good ol' dremel...reminds me of the time when i dremeled together a complete heatsink for a 960M out of thin copper metal sheets interconnected with thermal paste and thermal pads used for 3D standoffs to lie flush with the card 😂 it actually worked! that was way back on an Asus C90S...good old days haha
  6. yes agreed on the W/mK values not being the end of all, at least not when it comes to exact comparisons. however, they still give an inkling of what to expect, i.e. a 2 W/mK vs. 18 W/mK vs. 75 W/mK should give a good idea of which material would perform better or worse in a direct comparison. that said, 105W at 70s to 80s looks pretty promising, what were ur ambient temps? got any other paste lying around for comparison?
  7. kinda sounds like the way newer windows versions are going.... 😅
  8. hmm....forgive me but im kinda skeptical tbh. a thermal putty at 8.5 W/mK thats supposed to be better than everything else and even on par with LM? 😐 do you have some comparison data or maybe reviews of this stuff? and yeah, with LM ull of course need to do more than one application in the beginning on fresh, naked copper to soak up the pores properly with LM first before it does not get absorbed anymore. enter @papusan and his LM on copper oven baking method 😄
  9. awesome dude! nice to see a fellow quester 🤠 yeah im also playing completionist style but also doing lots of farming (and yes i agree, can be tedious at times). on epic it sometimes gets a bit too easy but later on in legendary ive seen numerous reports that it gets HARD quite fast again. btw i can highly recommend TQVault and TQ Collector to keep track of all your gear and be able to switch around stuff between your characters.
  10. geez....seriously 🤪 this is the kind of thing that makes delayed (or better yet, manual only) updates absolutely mandatory
  11. aaaah....dark mode is the best, on all OSes and all device classes. helps protect my eyes that are accustomed to the dark after countless nights spent tuning hardware and software 😄
  12. welcome back! let's get this show back on the road 😁🤠
  13. yep this article came right to mind when reading your post: https://www.pcgamer.com/students-dont-know-what-files-and-folders-are-professors-say/ like....seriously? they dont know what files and folders are?!?!?! 🙄🤪😵 we are doomed!
  14. kool, looking forward to your reports once it arrives! 🙂
  15. i had to laugh at around 00:50 to 1:00 because thats exactly how i imagine our resident Yeti @papusan and his setup in front of his Igloo 😁😂
  16. thats ok, 1.35V is plenty, especially in a laptop with barely any airflow going over the RAM modules. usually your main problem will be the motherboard traces giving out on you. in my case i maxxed out at 3466 Mhz with my 3800 modules while still being at 1.20V for the VDimm. adding more voltage didnt help at all haha. The gear mode basically sets the RAM clocks in conjunction to the IMC clock so that they are synchronized 1:1. Gear 1 is for synchronized clocks, whereas Gear 2 allows for a 2:1 ratio so as to give the RAM a bit more headroom to stretch its legs, albeit at a performance penalty due to non-synchronous ratio. in any case! first steps: set XMP profile and reboot, switch to custom profile, leave all timings as they are and bump the speed up a bit. properly stress test via testmem5 / ram test of your choise and repeat. once you hit a wall in terms of speed, up the voltage and try again. if that also doesnt pan out, try lowering the primary, secondary, and tertiary timings one by one, followed by testing. i.e.: set TCl from 16 to 15, reboot, stress test. if successful, set from 15 to 14 and test again. if not successful, set back to 16, and continue with the next timing (in this case tRCD). as mentioned before, for all timings the rule of thumb is the lower the faster, except for tREFI where higher numbers are better. remember: RAM OC takes a looooot of time and proper stress testing is super important! since errors in RAM can cause all kinds of weird behaviour like BSODs, sudden shutoffs, system freezing, data loss/corruption, etc.
  17. Go ahead and try these steps here with regards to intelppm.sys: https://thegeekpage.com/fix-blue-screen-error-intelppm-sys-in-windows-10/ Sounds to me like some files might have been corrupted. Either that or its some kind of hardware failure causing the respective drivers to hiccup and timeout.
  18. this is one of the last holdouts of a dying breed my friend...believers of high-performance, upgradeable, tunable, fixable laptop monsters...☠️
  19. yeah thats the tricky part with the binning though: you can bin for different things. all the silicon going towards the 12900KS is only the best at reaching high clocks stable without blowing up. doesnt mean that its also frugal at lower clocks and voltages in terms of wattage. so i wouldnt be too sad about "good silicon" for our specific laptop purposes are all heading towards the KS sku 🙂
  20. sure, go ahead and lets see if we can get a bit more info 🙂
  21. thats one advantage of the 12600 since its missing the e cores, so UV should be straightforward. unless of course it is blocked just like with the 12900 (ugh) thats not good news with the sound driver being w11 exclusive... but clevo has always been a bit finicky when it comes to sound enhancement package installs.... fans seem to be great tho 🙂 cant wait! @electrosoft this was the cherrypicked 12900k right? so now we have an "ideal reference" to orientate ourselves toward. roughly 90% of ideal stock on a desktop sounds pretty sweet to me 😁
  22. ok, so far so good. this seems to be driver related, possibly a faulty driver or component hanging up the system. did you recently install any new components or drivers? when did this start happening? ideally we could fix this by returning your system to an earlier state via system restore.
  23. LOL, u MIGHT think this was done on purpose / planned somehow 🤠
