All about oc'ing..... If you haven't killed any of your hardware before then you're doing it wrong 😀

Done🙂 Ths is propaganda. The big fat lie. Intel admits it needs more Core Ultra 200-series wafers — 'If we had more Lunar Lake wafers, we would be selling more Lunar Lake' Intel this week reiterated that it cannot meet demand for all of its client and data center processors due to insufficient supply, and specifically mentioned that it could use more Core Ultra 200-series Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake wafers to increase shipments of appropriate processors. Not much better than... Consumers Should take a break spending their har d earned money on Mem/prebuilt computers. Buy only buy what you really need. And if you can.... Spend less money. That will help on the greed. Yup, you see me and GN see it the same way. Only differet wordings. Corruption ain't enough. The U.S citizens/tax payers money are in stake (from 17:00). On top the citizens/consumers have to pay more than ever for modern tech. This is Disgusting. Pure evil! And the worst part is... The citizens won't get any help from their own government adm to stop this. Because they are deaply involved into this corruption and messed up situation. -

More E-cores, much better iGPU and much better NPU. Intel will deliver in loads of what you want/hope for. But probably no HT for now. Happy ?😀 But, for a quick summary, you are looking at new P/E-core architectures, along with the advanced 'Celestial' Xe3 iGPU architecture, and a 5th-generation NPU onboard, which will take edge AI to a new level. However, Intel has been decent on the mobile front; however, its market share has declined on the desktop.

Yup that also works. But the HW reviewers at HardwareLux did the same. The card melted anyway😀 But I guess, the chances for wear out being better if you do it that way. Worse if you want put the card in the box while you use your other cards. The tiny connector is trash! -

More on this. Yup, exactly as good old Gigabyte... ZOTAC rejects RTX 5070 Ti fan-issue RMA over “limited tools” and PCB scratches, then offers to dispose of the card Second e-mail. Zotac will be peased to help you to dispose the card. Better say, will you buy another one?😀 -

Work in progress🙂 I may need make an newer OS when I have the time. The old Windows 11 version I have ain't the best for some of the more "modern" 3DMark benchmarks. I may have some time for it in the Christmas holidays. But not what I want to spend my time on. Everyday I see new bugs pop up for the new and shiny buggy mess from Redmond HQ. So maybe it's better wait a year, LOL http://www.3dmark.com/pr/3734586 Great times forwards for pc consumers/gamers. Buy more and get more as Jensen say🤮 -

Too good to be true? And if the connector works as they claim.... When will we see them in the glabal market? CM also claimed their 90 degree adapters was fantastic and reliable. Segotep's Titanload 12V-2x6 cables use heavier-duty pins to prevent meltdowns — brute-force approach purportedly drops peak temps by up to 72% This is nice.... It just follow today's new norm. AMD's problems return: AGESA 1.2.8.0 causes critical crashes and forces several manufacturers to recall their BIOS versions. Could this be the problem that halted shipments of the ASUS ROG MATRIX RTX 5090? We're talking about an electrical buzzing or chirping sound. It's not a problem, but it does suggest poor quality or rather inadequate quality control for a graphics card that costs €4,099. https://elchapuzasinformatico.com/2025/12/asus-detiene-venta-rog-matrix-rtx-5090/ -

I probably could but the xx.85 is more for benching. I'm not so much into gaming anymore. And I also love play with the older cards I have. Connect and then disconnect the tiny trash connector several times doesn't make it better for benching in between the older cards with the 5090. The fragile connector destroy the fun. Every time you swap cards the connector will wear out. Thanks good I have the "overpriced" pin monitoring😀 -

What with a “plain” TX-1600 ? Doesn't this sku being cheaper than the Noctua edition? -

I expect this mess would be a disaster doing RMA with Gigabyte and Zotac. And i'm not sure the RMA process would be much easier with the other brands. I have never seen isopropyl alcohol remove the printing. But 100% sure that Gigabyte cards would get the well known round sticker with the red arrow. Aka RMA rejected (classic Gigabyte). The VRAM printed circuit boards remain on a Thermal Grizzly thermal pad. The writer's slight concern upon seeing the printouts on the thermal pad is perfectly understandable. However, there's no need to panic; the card is fine, it's simply a minor cosmetic issue, as everything else is functioning correctly. Yup, the Chinese have no problem get 5090's. Nvidia and their AIC partners know exactly why we have limited stock and inflated prices for 5090's. Because they all are part of this fraud. NVIDIA reportedly cuts B40 AI GPU production as Chinese AI companies use RTX 5090, Hopper GPUs NVIDIA is reportedly cutting B40 AI GPU production for China, as Chinese AI companies 'largely dependent' on RTX 5090, Hopper and locally-sourced AI chips. -

I don't like this xx.85 XOC vbios. Unstable. Fans work but I can't see fan rpm in GPU-Z. Need to try more later. But still 11th on Hwbot 3DM Firestrike🙂 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_fire_strike/rankings?rankingType=user&page=0&cores=1&hardwareType=gpu -

Black EPDM rubber tubing. Find the cheapest you can get. No need for maintenance with those tubes. I don't like clear tubes. They all will leak some plasticizer. Some worse than others. All black brother 🙂 Seme as my crocs..... Can't live without them. Smart. Put all the eggs in one basket. Micron is killing Crucial SSDs and memory in AI pivot Btw. Intel will launch a very powerful CPU🤐 Gpu power matters. Intel Core Ultra 7 366H Panther Lake iGPU Crushes Radeon 840M On Geekbench Probably not the first one... Should be happy the gpu didn't power up. Is Zotac the new Gigabyte? Desperate needs, Desperate solutions.... OpenAI is so desperate for RAM modules that it's sending employees to stores and retailers to get gaming kits. We are witnessing an escalating situation in the DRAM memory market, reaching levels that are, to put it mildly, unsustainable for the end consumer. -

I wonder what is wrong with the Matrix. Asus went cheapo and cut cost on the QC ? And will we see an updated vbios for the replacements now? ASUS RTX 5090 ROG Matrix Shipments Paused Amid Potential QC Investigation Swedish retailer INET.SE has temporarily stopped shipping ASUS’ GeForce RTX 5090 ROG Matrix graphics cards after identifying a possible quality-control irregularity in early production batches. The retailer issued a notice to customers explaining that it is awaiting clarification from ASUS before releasing more units. Edit. Will this increase the sinking sales of motherboards?🤐 Retail price changes will appear gradually as stores replenish stock. AMD quietly raises CPU prices — Ryzen 9000 and older chips affected AMD Ryzen 9000 series processor, which will soon become more expensive. (Image source: AMD) AMD has quietly raised CPU prices at the distributor level, affecting both Ryzen 9000 and older models. Retail prices will climb as stores restock, adding to an already sharp rise in PC-building costs driven by memory spikes. The new U.S. adm likes to spend it's citizens’ money. Where did they learn that from? Eastern Bloc/Eastern Europe policy before the cold war? I can clearly see a major change in U.S with such move. China do it as well. Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is back in chipmaking with xLight deal worth up to $150 million First look: Pat Gelsinger is once again at the center of U.S. chip politics—this time not as Intel’s CEO, but as executive chairman of xLight, a semiconductor startup that is now set to receive up to $150 million in federal funding. The Commerce Department has reached a preliminary agreement to inject capital into the startup in exchange for a stake that would likely make the federal government the company’s largest shareholder if the deal goes through. -
