Papusan

Thanks my friend. Here's some more blessings from snowy Middle Norway. Some of you have never seen the real Northern dreaded dark. This from Christmas Eve 2022. Love you all. And enjoy the small road up to to old Papusan's homeplace. Here you'll get everything.... Loads of clean white snow, clean air, the well known Northern dark in the winter time, the ice cold and the wind. And a mix of everything in between. And enoy the music in the background. I'm sure you know who singing the Christmas in🙂 Almost done. I will download and install latest version of Win 10 Pro. Up to the son what he will use after the Windows activation. Bought a Win 10 Pro license at Kinguin. Of course the English version.

Thanks to you all🙂 Edited my post with a video of better quality. Remember I'm an newbie into this. And I'm an old man😀

Have a nice Christmas holidays to you all. The very best greeting from the snowy Norway and me. We have now passed into 24. December here home.... Perfect time to say... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first ever video where you can hear my "not the best" in class English. I'm a hell lot better in reading English text/talking english directly to people I sit down with than try speak directly in a dumb small phone/video camera. So it's what it is. Better than nothing🙂 There is always a first time for all, so here it is. Damn you if you click the wrong like button. Always click on the thumbs up Edited with better quality.

Great results brother🙂 But all too much flashy colored lights😁 Now its time for my son have some fun with the water spill and the rest of the components. Will let it sit a few hours for leak testing until he come home for Christmas. Yep, soon Christmas holidays and he will enjoy gaming on a brand new system. Not the big need for the leak test, but I will jump in bed now. Early morning here😁 And this one is for you bro @electrosoft Once again... The old fart, uncrtical filling up bro @Reciever @Hiewforum with fancy pictures, LOOL

None of the options in mid high end is an option now. Nothing! Just save your money and see what pop up middle spring. Worst time ever now outside the awful mining crazyness buying such type cards. Nothing make sense, so just save your money. Period. Btw. Barely started with the sons new pc. The thicker radiator need the place meant for the fans in the front chamber to be able to have place for the pump and the GPU. So we was forced to mount the "helicopter"fans in pull inside the chassis, and on the backside of the pump. But better have a 50% thicker radiator in front. Always a tradeoff if you want to go with a thicker radiator and bigger pump if space is somewhat limited. And for now he will have to use the 4000rpm server fans for the radiator but the speed/noise can be tuned from the MB so not the big issues. But I'm sure he will be very happy when it will be finished 🙂

The more I see on the pricing for 4080/7900 AMD and previous gen Nvidia, I can see there is only one option. 4090 if you can find one at MSRP. Or just buy a cheap mid end card from 3000 series/Radeon. The 3070 for my son was an ok deal. And the card fits his needs. Going above this SKUs performance and you'll be heavly screwed on prices. Or just wait it out until mid spring. Paying near 1000$ for a 2 years old 3080 is plain stupid.

And they aren't anymore. AMD was the first one to push out mainstream processors at $800. And they released a xx80 similar SKU at 1000$. They aren't a low cost leader anymore. Just more expensive than ever. And more expensive doesn't mean more performance. This is where AMD is floating right now. Just look at the reviews.

I wonder if some of you have an advice for an UPS. Need to be with Type F (Norway). Not to expensive. More for ordinary daily use and flashing of firmware. Thanks The store where I can get one without paying 33% on top. See what you can find there. Reviews of the UPS would also be fine. https://www.proshop.no/UPS?o=1028&pre=0&fv~ups_effektenhedstromkapacitetva=1550-5000 From 27:05 AMD is 2 generation behind Nvidia, LOOL And from 27:34 AMD chose to increase their margins going with chiplets (to cut costs) over trying to compete in high end. Thats a kind of company AMD is, LOOL

You'll never understand this bro Fox. And neither do I But for some people....

Lool. Trash everywhere and at massive premium. But people still buy it. Of course they make more of if people are happy with junk. The circle goes around and around as a never stopping clock watch. TEST15 Case fans for the Chroma RGB world Razer Kunai Chroma 120mm and 140mm With the Kunai Chroma fans, Razer offers its own fans. The integrated Chroma RGB lighting should be a special eye-catcher. With wide speed ranges, Kunai Chroma 120mm and 140mm also give hope for high cooling performance.

Sorry, but I couldn't let this topic stay quiet. I replied in the comment section on the review of the new refreshed Dell Alienware black and white junk plastic-box at Tomshardware. This is only my honest opinion. And nothing more. Please post your opinion as well if you want. Link below. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/alienware-aurora-r15-review-playing-it-cooler.3789545/post-22887258 Edit. A PSU review for bro John. Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1650 W Review - Two 12VHPWR Connectors REVIEW POWER SUPPLIES The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1650 W is the only PSU on the market that offers two 12VHPWR connectors, each capable of 600 W. This unit can support two NVIDIA RTX 4090s with their power limits set to max, along with a powerful CPU and other power-hungry components.

Of course they will only support 4xxx series cards. They need to offer something brand new so you feel you got something back from the expensive upgrade. Will be fun seeing DLSS 5 only for 5xxx series cards even if the most powerful 4000 series cards as etc 4090 easly will run it at good FPS🙂 This is Greed, bro King........ Try taste on the word. Do you like the awful taste?

But you'll get latest features such as DLSS3 and enhanced ray tracing performance in a laptop. Isn't that a must have? You don't have this in older models. Not even for real desktop cards.

https://videocardz.com/newz/alleged-nvidia-geforce-rtx-40-laptop-gpu-clock-and-tgp-specs-emerge Rumors, but still very ugly. Castrated TGP and use of the chaeaper castrated die (AD103 vs AD102) for premium. On top less and slower rated vram. Yep, nvidia spreading their love to the laptop gamers. Want one of the new coming gamingbooks, bro @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix? Remember the new tempting xx90 moniker. Latest rumors say... NVIDIA's Ada GeForce RTX 40 series laptop GPUs will offer up to a 30% performance improvement over their predecessors while adding the latest features such as DLSS3 and enhanced ray tracing performance. Up to 30% performance uplift... Is this meant as a joke?

4060 Ti comes castrated vs 3060 Ti. In other words, if you thought the RTX 4080 was disappointing, well, you ain't seen nothing yet. If these rumoured Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti specs are accurate... Just WTF pcmag.com Fewer shaders than the old RTX 3060 Ti. For real. It shows more and more that 4090 is the only viable option from Nvidia within this gen graphics cards. The rest is either castrated or and overpriced. And I have still not yeat coomented comming mobile graphics cards from Nvidia. A small hint what to come... 4090 on AD103 die. What a tragedy we now see coming from Nvidia this and next year.

If it wasn't for the better features Nvidia would be on thin ice. But better features doesn't help much if the prices is too step vs the competitors equal products. Hope AMD is able to push out as many cards they can from the XTX model. But then we have the AIC partners cards. How is the prices for custom cards from AMD vs Nvidia's custom cards? But now we are up in price point much closer to a 4090 FE. I would never ever pay 1300$ over a 1599$ 4090. Even Nvidias MSRP for 4080 would be out of question. Even a huge nope from me at 899$. Who in Hell buy this? Is there anyone out there that will pay this for 4080? If so, then I undertand why Nvidia struggle hard sell out 4080. Ps. Stupid prices isn't much better than stupid products. But people buy it anyway, so...

Could be a long time until we will see 4090Ti or Titan. AMD just don't want to compete. And if they launc a 4090 Ti it will most likely be castrated (not with full fat ADA). Those will go into Nvidia's +6000$ cards for data centers. And Nvidia seems have hard time with their overpriced xx80. The question for today... Will we see a new MSRP before January is over? Or will they hide MSRP and sell it for highest possible price people are willing to pay? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems the HW reviewers/editors at Tomshardware become worse and worse. They post about the new cooling from Dell on on first page but don't want show any temp results in the review. Maybe Dell have told them not to talk about it in their review... Bad publicity can hamper the sales of this new refreshed junkware. Alienware Aurora R15 Review: Playing it CoolerAlienware has finally upgraded its AIO cooler. And here's the picture of Dell Alienwares gaming flagship. Nice cable bend as well 🙂 Exactly the way Nvidia saiid you shouldn't. But its Dell, so it has to be ok.

HeHe As usual... Kepler mobile graphics is treated as <nvidia's> most unwanted stepchild. Pay more... Get less. And the same will happen for Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, Ampere and ADA based Jokebook graphics cards. Does't matter if you pay double up or +5000$ for a gaming Jokebook.... Nvidia hate give you same amount support as for their desktop cards. Wote with your wallet.

I checked my prevous answer on this. The site have been down since 1th Dec. Shortly... Sure😀 Bro Fox still waiting.... In 2100 Edit: Todays fun. Me sitting on pc. Pc went black. Me... What the fuck. Me restart pc and still black under boot up. Me thinking... Whats wrong. Me know it should work. Me checked the power cable for the monitor. Me found the culprit... Me kicking the cable in place and the screen blinking hey you stupid, LOOL... Me feel like this

Yep I also have the 420 and the fix from Arctic lying in the shelf. Took a good 4 weeks to get the free item (Arctic was fast with the email notice but slow on the delivering). But I haven't bothered fix it due the spare part status. A good cooler. But I went for a custom loop for the sons new pc build. No place in that mid chassis for a 420 AIO. I will probably fix it when I have the time and the need for it. I swapped out the fans when I had this AIO cooler in my pc. In push and pull. The orginal fans is a bit weak but quiet. And you can tune down a more powerful fan for less noise, so... You can't have it both with the orginal ARCTIC fans.

And you find what you want in the products sheet Click whatever revision you want https://support.arctic.de/de/lf2-420-rgb Edit. Be also aware of this.
