Papusan

For me it's more the fun with the old. I have lost many years tinkering with desktop HW due we could get real DTR laptops. Going back to play with old desktop parts ain't so hard when you see how it went with laptops. You can change ssd's in Jokebooks but thats almost everything you can do with Apple design. Hope you don't have dried grass in your garden and in risk burn down your neighbors houses, HaHa

Here's Papusan's new baby. Imagine this bro Fox. Your old friend went with AMD😆 But $18.88 USD won't ruin my day. And I don't think AMD will make any profits from me (it will continue as so). Say hello to Asus Radeon HD 6870 DirectCU. Pictures for @electrosoft The performance should be around GTX 470. Not the new 4070😁 And the card is from the old Asus. Not the "new" Asus. The old new price was $184.04 here home in the days.

Wouldn't that be nice? The elite and the choosen one will get the chance to fully rule the 2D and 3D benchmarks. This to show of how good the brands products is (worthless for the rest of us). We are there already today bro Electro (Jokebooks). Then you have AMD and their so called unlocked chips (X3D). So both Intel and AMD is there already today 🙂

I wish we could see the same from Nvidia and AMD graphics (full unlocked graphics cards)🙂 Whats the difference between Cpus and GPUs? Why lock down graphics card but not processors? They both have thermal sensors that will throttle down the HW or just shut it down in worst case. Just look at Nvidia graphics... Throttle down boost clocks already before it see 50C. What are they afraid for? We already have 12VHPWR PCI-E connectors for nvidia graphics (600w). Even dual 12VHPWR PCI-E connectors for the HOF (1200w). So there is no reason be afraid for burned cables/connectors. The worst that can happen is a PSU may trip off due it's security mecanism if the load is too high.

From 17:12 what is AMD thinking? Use your prefered cooler and you'll in short lose your warranty. LOOL

A short warning... Be damn careful to update Asus firmware the coming weeks. They are known for offering "no roll back" with newer bios versions and you may be stuck with something nasty from Intel. Also be careful with coming MC patch updates from Microsoft if you don't know how to get rid of the MC code in the OS afterwards. Intel Deploys Undisclosed Microcode Security Update For CPUs Going Back To Coffee Lake Whatever the security vulnerability may be, it evidently affects many of Intel's platforms, including the latest consumer Intel 13th Generation Core Raptor Lake and 4th Generation Xeon Sapphire Rapids server chips. However, it's the first time that recent lineups, such as Alder Lake-N and Atom C series (Arizona Beach), received a microcode update. The lengthy list includes desktop processors dating as far back as the Coffee Lake days and mobile chips starting from Kaby Lake going forward.

Yep. Have already mentioned this here. God bless those stupids that will buy the 8GB version…. https://notebooktalk.net/topic/109-official-benchmark-thread-post-it-here-or-it-didnt-happen-d/?do=findComment&comment=32270&_rid=79

1080P in 24" should be swapped to 1440P and this will increase costs further. And not sure how you can take with you this on a flight. Is this below a joke or a sad story about greed? Gamers will now get the choice between plague and cholera if they have a fixed amount money to spend (see bolded text). Or loan up more with your credit card to pay more for the more expensive graphics card with vram in no-mans land (4070@12GB). New 8 and 12GB mid-range nvidia card should never have seen the light in 2023 but nvidia want you to upgrade within two years to be able to play next gen games. This is greed. Not a Joke. Or it could be both? Enjoy your weekend If the two variants are close in terms of price, then gamers will have to make their choice based on whether their favorite games need 16GB of memory, or a higher-performing GPU with 4352 CUDA cores. Or perhaps go with more expensive GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB or even GeForce RTX 4070 with 12GB. Nvidia Reportedly Prepping RTX 4060 with 16GB of VRAM Nvidia expected to offer fourth GeForce RTX 4060 model.

I fix it for you 🙂 You need compare the correct SKU. And you can't say a 13600K is faster than a 12900K. They don't have same amount cores so can't be compared. Same apply also for graphics cards.

They will continue. Nothing will change! All companies will try maxing out profits from their cheapo made (often defective) products. It's in their nature/blood. They all will try to screw you one or another way. Here is Lian Li that went the cheapo route... They have no problem with selling you defective products. And they know 100% for sure that their defective products will make problems for the buyers within a couple of years (see bolded text below). The AIO dying continues merrily: Lian Li Galahad 360 (1st version) with complete constipation (purchase warning) igorslab.com In the case of the Lian Li Galahad 360 of the 1st version (and also the identically constructed Galahad 240), I have to issue an explicit purchase warning, because such a product should be completely taken off the market. Since there is now a version 2 (certainly for a good reason), it is completely incomprehensible to me that Lian Li simply leaves the defective product on the market. Here the total failure is already included in the purchase.

And the 273K views the last 6 hours ago doesn't exactly help Asus sell more of their hardware. Then add the 514K views from Gamers Nexus Scumbag ASUS video and you get a clearer picture. Yep, Asus is on fire....

I really hope this won't happen...... Blockchain companies want to recoup GPU investment with AI and HPC. I would rather they sell the GPUs in the used market and hope it hit Nvidia and AMD where it hurts most. Cryptominers try to pivot GPU farms to AI workloads after crypto decline Seems Asus and AMD. The two big A branded companies is a "hot" topic in the comment section😆 A preview.... What to expect.

Yep. And I could see the beQuiet power protection in work in real time (never failed), LOOL They are out with a new 1600W PSU. I'm very happy with their previous flagship, but with the second PSU I don't see the need now 🙂 be quiet! Announces Dark Power Pro 13 1300W and 1600W ATX 3.0 Power Supplies By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/09/2023 02:19 PM | 9 comment(s) ] This successor to the award-winning Dark Power Pro 12 series presents a future-proof way to update your system by offering full ATX 3.0 compatibility for next-generation PCIe 5.0 graphics cards, and comes in two wattage classes: 1300 and 1600 watt. And with dual 12VHPWR connector. Read more From the comment section... The more and more heavy weigted 1000D box may need a new wheel plate😆 The new 750W PSU on left side. For 2250W total power and loads of power connectors.

It's alive again. The problem was the power short due trash products from Corsair. Now the question... I mean the lights for the front panel and Corsair flag on the Corsair chassis is with proprietary connector (3 pin ARGB). Not the usual 5v 3 pin ARGB Gen 2. What's the options? This just show that Asus isn't the only one making bad products and offer bad QC for their cheapo made overpriced products. Without the unwanted disgusting ARGB shit show products, this no post mess wouldn't happen. More unwanted junk just lead to more failures. More of everyhing doesn't always mean better. Just away to charge more for nothing of value. Btw. Thanks for the help and suggestions 🙂

I will try mount it back and power up a bit later. I only used the iCUE Com PRO box for two slow spinning fans on the back/rear side. As well power the two orginal Corsair Lighning for the front Corsair flag (Maybe total of 8W together). Never touched this after I put together the machine in early spring the previous year. Maybe I touched the cable to make a bit more room for routing the extra 8-pin cables when I mount the second PSU. A load of cables behind the French doors as it is. And of course the weakest point (the bling bling plastic box I never ever touch screw up). And I have never liked the Sata connectors. They are weak and flimsy. Better quality plastic from PSU manufacturers but I think the extra gears from a few HW gear companies use more flimsy and cheaper plastic quality. The DELL way.

Thanks, bro John. I mean have found the problem. Haven't started up the machine yet, but have troubleshooted the power from the PSU cables. With the Corsair iCUE Com PRO Smart RGB Lighting and Fan Speed Controller connected to the PSU, this will shorts the power. Aka the PSU protection turn of the PSU with Corsair junk connected to the sata connector. I will connect up all the MB connectors and try start it up later this evening. So not the MB or PSU. Just the cheapo plastic box for the bling bling from Corsair. And I don't even use that thingy for fans.

Still a no go. Tried two - tree times. If the CMOS battery is dead and this affect the boot process, shouldn't I have seen any signs of life in the Q-code display or Q-LED indicators when I power on the pc? Nothing show up in there when I try turn on the machine (after disconnecting the power from the wall and PSU button off). Absolutely no action or lights in the Q-code display or Q-LED indicators. Only the argb bling bling lights on the MB/memory sticks show up, and short brief fan spintup before everyting go back to death. In short... The mb get power to turn on the lights but not enough to turn on the Q-code display or Q-LED indicators start lights up when you click the start button. Did you even see any signs of life from the Q-code display or Q-LED indicators? Everything is damn dead when I try turn on the startup button. Only those disgusting ARGB lights Asus throw all over the place on the MB.

As I already have wrote about. I only turned off the psu button and disconnected the PSU cable from the wall. Then removed the two PCIe cables on the old graphic card. Thereafter disconnected the 8-pin PCIe connector from the PSU. Put back the 12 pin connector for the 4090 in the PSU (didn’t connect the 12 pin connector in any cards due I didn’t use the HOF). Then mounted the SFX PSU and connected 2x8-pin PCIe to the graphics card. That was everything. Still this messed up no bot/no post. Like a dead mb. Will try your way later today. There is nothing in my work that should triggered this no bot/dead mb behavior. What a freaking joke this Asus board is.

Thanks. You said “then reconnect the cord from the wall. What with the 24 pin mb connection to psu? Connect it to the PSU afterwards when you have disconnected the power to the PSU? Should I turn on the power button on PSU in between? This doesn’t surprise me with this trash board. Again thanks my friend. Edit. It will be hopeless if this starts being the trend when I swap In and out old and new graphics cards. Or do some small changes.

Fun start after put in the new second PSU. Connected the power and the cable to the wall . Turned on the on start button and nothing. A slight move on the fans and thats it. Disconnected the graphics card and put in a vanilla GTX 750 without power connector. Aka the pc run on the main PSU. Same here as well. The lights on the Asus MB light up (they do that even without the Be Quiet PSU is turned on-the way beQuiet do it) when I connect power and the PSU button. So the power come to the MB and the lights up on the Aqua Computer high flow NEXT screen. Once I try start the pc I hear a slight click and the fans move a milli second the nothing. Dead. Any ideas? But I think this is the MB. I even cleared the cmos and tried start up. Nothing. No lights in the debug screen on the motherboard when I turn on the power after clean shutdown (all power off). Only the fans move slightly and stop. Same with and without graphics card connected. No error only dead machine. Slight move on the fans then nothing. Also checked the new SFX PSU. Connected the power on the bottom pump and it start run as it should.

Yep, not the best for the 12VHPWR connectors being dragged in and out from the PSU (for the GPU side---I have to live with the risk of fire), HaHa. Better say double risk of smoke and fire due double up with 12VHPWR connectors for the HOF😆 All needed cables will be connected to the PSU the whole time now and it will looks cleaner. + the bonus having unlimited of power connectors in all shape and form have it's value. I will never ever again have to find out where I should/shall steal the needed power from. I expext I won't need more than 2250W for a single PC setup. If not, there is still 1300W SFX PSU's for total of 2800W power, HaHa Damn nice with a huge black box that can fit more than a few PC parts🙂 I will never ever be happy with a small nice and cute gamer-box some individuals prefer. The limitations on how you want it (for me huge drawbacks) is all too much to accept. Hmmm. Whats in the right corner bottom?😀

Here it is. The second PSU (Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold 750W PSU) for my Corsair 1000D build. I found an 750W SFX PSU on the used market. And this in my home town. Jumped in the car drove down to town and grabbed it today. I paid 1400 nok = 132$ (New is 180$ here home). The seller (sorts of gamer kid) bought it in April last year. But he have now upgraded to an 4090 so he was afraid 750W PSU wasn't enough (he wanted the new modern PSU's with native 12VHPWR PCI-E CABLE to reduce the chance for the epic smoke and fire with 4090's. 750W offer more than the targeted 600W SFX PSU I looked at. 150W is still 150W more. I will now have loads of power connectors with two PSU's. And I will have access to 2250W power in one box for my needs. Yep, this will be good. 132$ is still a lot for used 750W PSU but the SFX standard add a premium. Pay more for less, LOOL Isn't that the new norm for todays tech bro @Mr. Fox @electrosoft 🙂 The SFX form factor is damn small. Not what I'm used to. Bigger is always better. But the 50Kg PC build will now get another new 2 Kg on it's weight, HaHa I can now finally clean up inside the black box (hide cables and put back the PSU cover at the bottom). The MSI GTX680 Lighning is in the box now. A lot smaller card than the 4090 HOF. For those of you that enjoy hear my fantastic rasping voice😀 I made a video showing of the damn small SFX PSU. Enjoy Edit. I really love the French doors on the 1000D but Corsair should have made a second cover on the backside of the chassis. If you as me want two PSU's but not the second MB setup. I guess they didn't know some people need or want well above 2000W of power in their PC boxes with a single MB setup🙂

Yep, not so expensive but every single cent saved will be transformed into profits. And they have increased the price point for their cards... They don't want make their mid range cards to be even more expensive..... So none buy them. Hence offer minimum for an acceptable price (if you can say that for 40xx series cards). This is a balance bethween buy or not to buy their graphics cards. Nvidia want you back to the stores for next gen graphics cards. They know you can ride out your xx90 longer than 2 years cadence, and they are fine with that. Because you paid them +1500$ for it. They don't want 400-600$ cards ( "budget") to live longer than 2 years before you'll knocking on their doors for new cards that can play next gen games. Cap amount vram down to minimum is the correct way to go if you want the consumers back to the store fastest possible.

Software/driver features over real hardware improvements is a bad deal. Every new gen graphics will get improved software features. And those features won't be backwards compatible. From what I have seen... Want real hardware improvments then go for the top end SKU. Mid-end will get halFbaked hardware improvements. Saved by new fancy PERFORMANCE features (software based). You can't have both. https://hwbot.org/submission/5268943_papusan_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_680_9593_marks?recalculate=true https://hwbot.org/submission/5268974_papusan_3dmark2001_se_geforce_gtx_680_200421_marks?recalculate=true https://hwbot.org/submission/5268940_papusan_3dmark___fire_strike_extreme_geforce_gtx_680_4528_marks?recalculate=true Edit.

A bit too late for 3070 and 3080@10GB cards. But will coming vram feature save the vram castrated 4060 and 4060Ti Nvidia graphics cards from running out of vram? We have now features as DLSS to boost performance... Next level is to use compression features to sell overpriced cards with bare minimum of needed vram. Yep, Nvidia know how to make money. We'll learn more about NTC and how NVIDIA plans to develop this tech at SIGGRAPH 2023 in August. It won't be riding to the rescue of current-gen GPUs, though, that's for sure - and it might be some way down the line before we see it realized. Mind you, Wronski sounds confident enough that it's maybe not as far off as we think... NVIDIA Says It Spends 20% of Its Time on Hardware, 80% on software so they can further cut costs on HW level NVIDIA's new texture compression tech could be the end of VRAM worries tweaktown.com | Gaming | May 5, 2023 NVIDIA has developed a new compression algorithm for textures that looks very impressive. VideoCardz spotted the paper from NVIDIA, which is called 'Random-Access Neural Compression of Material Textures,' and was also shared on Twitter by Bart Wronski, a researcher at Team Green who's part of the project. The Neural Texture Compression (NTC) aims to tackle the spiraling requirements for high-res textures, allowing them to better fit into the available RAM. We're told that it delivers 16x more texels than Block Compression or BC (standard GPU-based texture compression).
