Tenoroon

I got the CPU back in, and wow. Temperatures are so much better. I can actually run this thing at 4.8ghz+ without having to worry about it nearing 95C. I'm still adjusting clocks and voltages as I type this, and I plan on trying to set the static voltage in the BIOS later today. I can run a static voltage with TS, but every time I set it that way in the BIOS, I've needed to remove the CMOS battery as that seemingly bricks the thing. I am a bit hopeful as the few times I've tried to set a static voltage in the BIOS, they were at higher than normal voltages with the cache voltages adjusted too. I'll try just doing the Core voltage and see if that works. Hopefully nothing goes wrong as I don't want to tear this thing apart again lol.

I'm about to go to sleep, and decided it was a good time to the delid. Everything went okay I think besides the LM application... I still suck with that stuff. Hopefully I didn't break anything, but I did feel like I used a bit too much LM. I already have PTSD from it after seeing what happened to my 4930mx... And finally, from my own eyes, I was finally able to see why you guys call that garbage under the stock IHS toothpaste. It really looks terrible! (Sorry that some are sideways, phone formatting is a bit goofy.)

It's for my 8700k. It runs well at 4.5ghz all core @ 1.050 volts and my goal is to get around 5.1~5.2 all core.

The haul... Edit: I noticed these odd spots on the die side of the IHS. I'm assuming they are fine, but do they indicate anything bad or are they just a byproduct of how these IHSs are milled?

Yeah Micron isn't bad nowadays. They had the problems with the early Turing cards, but other than that no problems. Though, as everyone else has said, Hynix and Samsung are the preferable vendors for VRAM as their VRAM tends to clock higher (especially Samsung on newer cards.) Before Micron, there was Elpida, and they were truly bad. I'm glad they got bought out by Micron and can't put their garbage on GPUs anymore but Fermi and Kepler will continue to be haunted by their mere presence lol. A lot of the jokes about Micron memory being bad are because early Micron chips were really just rebranded Elpida garbage...

Are these still available or have they sold?

I've been playing Snowrunner with one of my close friends. We both bought the game a few weeks after it came out and quickly finished the first 3 campaign maps. (Michigan, Alaska, and Taymyr.) We played every now and then in bursts to complete the Phase 1 DLC (Kola Peninsula), but we stopped after that. About a month ago, we found we had time to play, so, since then, we have completed Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the DLC (Yukon and Wisconsin). We are currently on the Phase 4 maps located in Amur, Russia. This place is notorious for being the hardest location in the game due to the poor infrastructure, deep snow and ice, and rocky roads. While this place is tough, the views are quite good. Here's me struggling to climb this snowy path: Hopefully my buddy and I can catch up to the DLC releases as after this map, we have Phases 5-9 to complete, and each Phase comes out every quarter of the year (4 Phases per year). While I do love this game, the multiplayer is buggy, and has had bugs that haven't been fixed since launch. My buddy and I have had to edit the save file 3 times in order to complete missions that broke due to various bugs that still haven't been fixed for the 3 years this game has been out. Besides this gripe, the game is really fun and relaxing... until you tip over in a remote area, in which you will quickly lose your cool 🙂

I'm really excited to see what these new HEDT chips can do. It feels like it's been an eternity since we got the 3175X lol. This thread is going to be returning to its origins from NBR; a bunch of guys with the highest end HEDT components trying to score as high as possible on all of the benchmarks. I love to see it!

I've been reading this thread and am very interested in the AUO 1080p 300hz display. I have a TM with the latest Prema BIOS. Does anyone here know if it would happen to support the B173HAN05.1 display? Also, @runix18 What fan do you use for your TM CPU heatsink? I've been wanting to get a 4th fan for the CPU but don't know the model I would need.

Recently had my G14's screen broken by a kid at school. The kid ordered a new 120hz screen since it was about 3 times cheaper than the stock 60hz one I had. The new 120hz screen uses a 40pin eDP cable instead of a 30pin cable. I ordered a 40pin cable off of ebay and they shipped me the wrong one! It's not even a 40pin cable! I asked for a return within about an hour of the item being delivered to my house, and the company said that I would not get my money back unless I had this dumb warranty void if removed sticker on the cable, but there was never a warranty sticker on the cable! I really hope I can get my money back. I just need this damn laptop working and to be shipped the right cable. I'm just tired of ebay being completely dumb and always having to follow the rules and being screwed over in the end. I understand it can look like I could have swapped cables out, but I don't have any leverage since I can't prove I didn't do it. This is just dumb. If only that company would have shipped the right cable; I don't understand how they could have even messed this up this bad...

Hopefully the last P870TM question I'll post here, but I've been trying to figure out if the vapor chamber chamber GPU heatsink or the T-shaped GPU heatsink is better. I want to push the 1080 in here, but I have the vapor chamber heatsink and I'm not sure which is better. I'm willing to buy the T-shaped heatsink if it is verifiably better, but I don't want to be dropping 70-80 bucks on it if it's worse or equal to the vapor chamber I have now. I'm under the assumption that the vapor chamber is better because it's a vapor chamber and that its mass is seemingly greater than the T-shaped one, but I may be entirely wrong.

The HWBot community right now trying to reason with the staff (Der8auer included): ROMAN! ARE YOU SLEEPING?!

I remember emailing Leeghoofd a while back asking if my Haswell turbo bin unlock runs were allowed. I just wanted a bit of verification on that as it was never mentioned in the rules. I know it might not have been the best way to contact him, but emailing him was easier than creating an account on those forums. I never received an email back which was a bit odd as I'd assume if he has his email linked as "Contact" on the "About us" page that he would at least acknowledge my email and get me an answer. I still submitted those runs as the worst thing that could happen is that they get removed and I receive a warning, but the lack of response rubbed me the wrong way. I don't know if I'm being over the top about it, but it just feels weird that he is seemingly very strict when it comes to rule enforcement, and yet when I asked for some clarification on the rules, I never got a response.

It will... 😉 And it won't be using G6X, probably G6 because 48gb of G6X requires way too much power.

I could understand that some people may not like the idea of meeting up with some random person and being told that the person you will be exchanging goods with is armed, especially in a leftist state. However, I think it's completely reasonable for you to be armed and let the buyer (or seller if you ever buy from marketplace) know that you are. It adds a layer of transparency and in my mind, would make the transaction and the general meetup/sale more safe. If I were you, I would continue doing this unless you see a significant decrease in potential buyers after letting them know you are legally armed. This is just my 2 cents and others may have better advice, (@MyPC8MyBrain has a good point).

They do exist on the NBRCHIVE Forums. I've used them in the past, but too cannot remember the name of the threads lol (all I can remember is that there were 2 of them posted by @DaMafiaGamer). Though, out of fear that the old forums might not have been archived back when they were about to shut down, I saved all of the Dsanke BIOSes alongside what you need to do to the pins for a 8th or 9th gen z170 mod from those threads you were talking about. The Readme_Part 1 file got a bit messed up as I had accidently turned it into a .xlsx file a while ago. The conversion back to .txt worked, but messed with the format. If the new format is hard to read, you can turn the .xlsx file into a .pdf and that will fully restore the original format. Here's the file! https://files.catbox.moe/g3wu9d.zip

I owned a P775TM1, it was a nice machine. Glad you have one too! I am under the assumption you upgraded from one stick to two or four sticks. There should be a reasonable performance gain by using dual channel memory, even if it's a tad slower than the single stick. Could you perhaps send a screenshot of the memory tab in CPU-Z so we can figure out where your problem might be stemming from?

And double the cost of a 3090ti...

Removing the CMOS battery worked. Something about @Mr. Fox BIOS settings doesn't bode well with my P870TM. I understand his guide was for the P870DM3, but it just doesn't like it. I don't do the memory tuning or uncore like he did because I'm not trying to OC my terrible RAM right now. Maybe something with the static voltage for the CPU? I understand what most of the settings do besides the IMON offset, maybe it could be that. I just tried a second time without adjusting as many settings and it still bricked. I hope I don't goof anything up hard enough to render a CMOS reset useless. Edit: Out of all things, the BIOS bricks itself whenever I adjust the cache settings or when I switch from Adaptive to Override voltage for the CPU (It's either one or the other or both). I will look more into it tomorrow as I am going to go out with some friends and am running short on time.

Was trying to tune some settings in the BIOS and I bricked it. I'm holding FN+D before I turn it on and nothing. Is my memory incorrect or did I really mess something up. I'm pretty sure that you can hold FN+D on the Prema BIOS to clear the CMOS.

What Reciever said or a BIOS programmer. My CH341A was probably one of the best purchasing decisions I've made for my computers, it's saved my life many times lol.

This guy has done a lot with his 970, you can watch it evolve through time lol. He does a bunch of other stuff to GPUs, but his most prestigious one is his 970. Maybe you can do the same 😉

Thanks for the tips guys, I've managed to overcome all of these problems now. That said, I'm now wanting to delid the 8700k to push it to its limits. I've been eyeballing the ROCKIT 88 kit as I've it's pretty cheap and some of you guys have used it before, but I'm also interested in getting a better IHS. What IHS would you all recommend? I don't really know where to start here.
