Here is bro @Mr. Fox next killer PC upgrade😁 And who need more than RTX5070 performance with all the fake frames. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra could be your killer PC upgrade Asus always find new ways to increase profits... Asus' monstrous ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 includes expansive curved AMOLED display — also debuts 3,000W power supply and striking PC case Beyond the significant frills (i.e. the screen, the design), it looks like the Edition 20 raises itself above ‘ordinary’ Astrals by leveraging boosted power delivery opportunities. Standout claims for this new graphics card include the provision of a dual-input power subsystem, with a detachable GC‑HPWR adapter, for providing up to 800W to the graphics card. Asus have also increased their prices for their graphics cards. This from the official Asus US Store... ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,329.99 And ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX™ 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition - $4,529.99 Yup, the vanilla 5090 Astral is now above $4.300 USD on their official US Store. That's devastating. And I'm sure the Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 will cost around $5000. Prises have also increased here home. The Astral 5090 OC cost $3767,00 USD (MSRP) here or around $600 cheaper than in USA. Still, damn expensive. The use of Anniversary sales tactic is pure milk cow. Also Msi and Gigabyte milk as hard they can on this

Same statement here. Use the 12V-2*6 cable perfectly fine in 2 months, then BOOM

The stupidity making power connectors smaller and smaller continue. They never learned from the 12V-2*6 failure. Now we also get cute 8-pins(to save board space and costs). Smaller is always better. Just look at the modern Jokebooks. Intel ATX12VO V3 to remove the 24-pin motherboard power connector

ZALMAN Launches ZM-STC11 Thermal Paste With 18 W/m·K Conductivity Published 8 hours ago by Hilbert Hagedoorn 0 ZALMAN has introduced a new high-performance thermal interface material called the ZM-STC11, expanding its cooling product lineup with a silicone-based thermal paste designed for desktop processors, workstation systems, and general PC cooling applications. The company positions the new compound toward users looking for improved thermal transfer efficiency, long operational lifespan, and easier application characteristics. The ZM-STC11 uses a formulation based on dimethylpolysiloxane combined with zinc oxide and aluminum oxide. According to ZALMAN, the compound delivers a thermal conductivity rating of 18 W/m·K, placing it within the higher-performance category of commercially available thermal interface materials for enthusiast and professional desktop systems. In addition to conductivity, the company is emphasizing viscosity optimization. The thermal compound is specified at 2.6 g/cm³, which ZALMAN describes as an ideal balance between spreadability and long-term contact consistency. Thermal paste viscosity plays an important role in maintaining proper contact between the processor heat spreader and cooler surface, particularly during extended thermal cycling and sustained high-load operation.

Thanks for asking bro Fox. And huge thanks. I'm taking it one day at a time. Now I'm trying to reduce my cigar/cigarillo consumption. I may have halved my consumption from around 36. But it's still way too high even with vaping. I have started vaping with low nicotine levels. I'm also trying to reduce or better said change my (food)lifestyle. Eat more healthy food to try lower the blood pressure/cholesterol. It's way above recommended. This on top of medicines I take for it. There is some big changes so I don't know if everything is feasible/doable. It's now 14 days since I had a stroke, so it will take time. The question is whether I can achieve my goals. It's too early to say. But I'll try.... So small steps each day. But it's hard. Very hard to change how you have lived the last +30 years. Big changes at +60 is hard 🙂

Sadly the day has come. Bloated apps everywhere. Real minimalist software is dying. You like the direction we head into bro @Mr. Fox🤔 NVIDIA Control Panel is officially retiring after 20 years for GeForce users

And it willbe worse if the rumors is correct. I would never pay more than MSRP for any Radeon cards. And I'm not even sure I would buy one even if I got it for a fair price below MSRP. If you haven't bought your graphics card yet, you should: the RX 9070 XT could go up by as much as 200 euros, and the RTX 50 series are headed in the same direction.

Tried an older gen GPU? Maybe that will play better with your old gen board. Many motherboards have difficulty with some newer GPUs. Could be that your 5090 FE played better with your motherboard.

And the scumbag is ranked 71 on hwbot.... https://hwbot.org/users/mllrkllr88 Do you trust all results posted on hwbot? Sharing is caring... Isn't it?

Probably the best for several reasons. Not sure I have seen so many org Asus tentacle meltdown Asus cards this time around. If the connector melt into the GPU, then it's nice if it's the org Asus adapter fused to the card😀 Still, I don't like the solution. I hate that stupid lille connector. Even Jonny Guru at Corsair say the connector won't stay properly connected with the card when you pass 6 months. It will loose the connection and here we go... BOOOM! Corsair explains why 12V-2x6 still needs protection despite ... The revised mechanical design is a real improvement. But it’s not a complete solution, because connectors don’t stay fully seated forever. Cable tension from routing, vibration, the weight of a stiff cable pulling at the connector, repeated insertions over time – any of these can gradually work a connector loose. A connector that clicked in perfectly when you first built your system can develop marginal contact six months later without any visible indication. The physics of partial-contact heating are identical whether it was never fully inserted or worked loose after the fact.

This become a problem because you had good contact in first place. Once removed and the connection will break and you get a problem. Cables have now become a consumable items. I mean the tiny trash called 12V-2x6. Those cannot be reused as the good old 8-pin cables. Benching the old gpu's ain't very fun anymore because you need to take out and in your new and shiny GPU if you want the newest in you rig after bench sessions. The modern cables ain't up to task. This tiny trash ruined my hobby.

Some update. Have been to my personal doctor today. Also got my epikrise from the hospital to keep home. I had stroke two places in my brain on left side. But got further info from the epikrise... I have had several small strokes in the frontallap before. I never knew that before. Very rare I have been in an mr machine the last years. So my doctor said I have been pretty damn lucky. My main problem is high bloodpressure (also one of the reasons for stoke outside my higher colestrole). They need to reduce it further. Both the bloodpressure and colestole. But each new dose medicines need to work 3-4weeks to see an effect. Not fun sit here with high bloodpressure and know the risk is still high for a possibel second stroke. But the medicines need to start work properly before they can or should increase doses. The bad coletrole need to be pushed down to 1.4-1.8 if you have had stroke. So here I sit waiting yet another 3-4 weeks to see if things may be better😟 As well, forbidden to drive a car the next +3 months. Yup, fun times. I just love it!

Hi, everyone. Back from the hospital but I'm still not in good shape as before. It will take some time. Slower talking and the right hand (mouse hand) not exactly where it should be. But hopefully it will be better. Stroke is and have been a terrifying experience. And it scares me. Yep, I am really scared this illness. It takes life and can push you into a wheelchair without you notice it where you can't speak or hear. Not even move yourself. Still a small chance to get second one within the next 3 months. After that a bigger chance to get on live again. I was very lucky as the doctors said, not Being Hit harder. Medication for this shit will help me move forward. And I'll probably have to take it for the rest of my life. And thank you all you good friends for the kind and warming words🙂 Intel Nova Lake Samples Reportedly Begin Shipping With Huge Multi-Core Gains

Thanks. Yup, i had a stroke. The mr machine showed that. I need to stay longer now in the hospital and take more tests and the doctors need to find a medicine I need to take rest of my life😢
