Sorry lost that file years ago for the Ranger, never had the AW18 version

Dont be mad when you have a bunch of passed out pedestrians outside on the sidewalk lol

Perfect, wasnt expecting a full write up but it is very much appreciated. I will probably start collecting more things towards the end of the year as I would like to get some benchmarking in the Winter when I can take advantage of the colder weather with some vacation time I think I still have a couple of weeks worth of time I can use. For the time being though, I did pick up 2x 9800 GTX+'s (55nm) to go with my accellero xtreme 9800's if the old posts are to be believed they dropped temps by around 30C+ so adding some cold air should let me around any temperature concerns for the most part. I also picked up a R9 390X 8GB TRI-X for 40 USD. If anyone here happens across some aftermarket heatsinks please feel free to reach out. I am hoping to collect enough for the GPU's I have, some of them are getting quite rare. I guess at this point starting to collect Waterblocks can be the new hobby once I start diving into that space.

Lets steer this back towards just sharing music for a while eh Gents?

I do the same thing, I do not entertain people wasting my time. In other news, I have been promoted a couple of times at work and its smack dab in the middle of the busy season for my line of work which is why I haven't been able to post. It certainly seems the forum needs some work again and we are entertaining moving the host to another platform. I'll be bugging Hiew about that maybe to happen this holiday weekend. As for actual tech related topics... I have been considering the alphacool 1080mm radiator and stand. 200 USD seems acceptable. If I go this route, are the Nidec Servo's still heralded as one the better fans to go with? I have been partial to the 2150RPM variant as I used it for probably 6-7 years at this point. Taking 3rd place kind of bugs me for the 7900 XTX, so I have been mulling it over for some time but water + liquid metal are likely the only way to hit higher overclocks whilst taming the hotspot.

Welcome to the Forums!

Welcome to the Forums !

Always nice to see a forum member getting their props for carrying out their experiments :) Not sure why but the YTuber calls vbios mods "software shunt mods"

What 3080 are you running? My 1080 is basically dying and wouldn't mind upgrading but I am unsure of the supplement power cable. My chassis was originally a ZM swapped for a DM-G board iirc.

And I am telling you, Prema does not approve of its distribution outside of official channels. We respect Prema's decision as its his IP, this forum will not facilitate the distribution of that BIOS. You can however look for the dsanke bios, which has been uploaded here many times and can provide many of the same functions that are desired.

Anyone sharing Prema BIOS will receive unfavorable actions from Administrators of this forum. I would instead ask around for the Dsanke bios which to my knowledge is free to be distributed.

This was not what I was expecting to see on the forum today @electrosoft lol Things may be finally looking up on my end of things, a sizeable promotion in one hand, and an enticing job offer I'll be interviewing for on Tuesday through a friend of mine. Its nice to have favorable options on the table. Assuming I dont lose both options I'll be looking forward building myself a MO-RA as a congratulatory boon.

It appears to be running ok over here at the moment, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Honestly cant see myself spending more than 700ish for a GPU, that being said I will happily buy used in order to still maximize performance per dollar spent as I have done for years at this point. Though in reality I'll upgrade to suit the need, if there is a title that I must play and I know that its beyond what my 7900 XTX can support then I'll likely sell this card (if today, it would likely be at cost or even a profit strangely enough) to look at the next step up. It would be hard to see anything short of a 4090 as an upgrade. Would have to be bewitched to spend 3k on a GPU though... That being said its all relative, I come from lets just say extremely meager means on more than one occasion so my barometer for such things is skewed in that direction.

I share similar sentiments regarding the 8GB VRAM from an abstract stance, that being said the people who most likely need to be the ones checking in advance as to if that should be a concern are also the most likely to never consider it in the first place. I can think of a litany of uses for 8GB VRAM, but at 24GB Im not thinking of use cases anymore.
