It seems Azor's former job at Dell gaming division, have big influence on AMD🤮 He is already come a long way make his name in stone at AMD HQ. Remember what AMD said... No need for a huge cooler or the new 600w Nvidia power connector as Nvidia because we go with a more power efficient GPU design and can cut costs due our engineering decision for the GPU reference design. And due the lower GPU's TGP we can now do "cost cutting" on the mounting on the GPU cooler. The shorter time each fabric worker spend on each card.... More profits to AMD. On AMD's own Reddit page, nero1338 writes that he tried to make a warranty claim on his Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but that it was denied by AMD, who in an email reply briefly stated that "temperatures are normal". Barely a day after the post was published, an AMD employee contacted the user and wrote that they wanted to examine the graphics card, whereupon nero1338 was asked to send it to AMD's office in Canada. AMD denies warranty case on overheating Radeon RX 7900 XTX Graphics card yesterday 14:13 Users report that their Radeon RX 7900 XTX tops out at 110 degrees, the fan runs high, and performance drops. It is currently not known what AMD is doing to curb the problems and whether they will start accepting RMA cases on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX that uses the company's reference design MBA. Worth noting is that the owner of an RX 7900 XTX does not need to worry about the high temperatures, as the worst that happens is that the clock frequencies are lowered precisely to prevent overheating and that the hardware is damaged. 110 °C is certainly the limit of what a chip can be expected to do. The performance is already throttled here, which of course is unacceptable for a card that costs more than 1,000 euros. Unfortunately, our samples have not yet had such high values. Apparently only the MBA designs are affected - regardless of whether they are sold directly by AMD or by a board partner. The cards run off the same assembly line anyway. Nice. Just remove the reply/thread from the Hwbot forum without notice and no one will know what happened. And no one will know how flawed the validation software can be.

Even the high end can be disgusting.... AMD Locked Radeon RX 7000 Series Power Play Tables, Limiting Overclocking Overclocking expert @Buildzoid1 on Twitter recently shared a post discussing his frustrations with AMD's overclocking capabilities on the RX 7000 series. Apparently, AMD has locked power play table manipulation on its new GPUs, preventing enthusiasts from customizing power and frequency curves outside their official specifications. https://hwbot.org/submission/5154651_papusan_gpupi___1b_geforce_rtx_3070_4sec_885ms @Mr. FoxLOOOL https://community.hwbot.org/topic/222448-benchhate-pentium-gold-g7400-3700mhz-99826-cb-cinebench-r23-multi-core-with-benchmate/

I don't upgrade every year so I can't say I feed Nvidia with loads of money time after time again. So I'm good. 1800$ / 4 years for a 4090 is more like $450 a year. I spend more money on the rest of the PC platforms or my car each year. But I don't want to pay +-1000$ on a mid high end card. New or old doesn't matter. Thats too stupid. Either go all in for the top of the line and keep it for awhile or just see if you can find a cheap old used. Even real gamers can have fun with the not so new. This way, we would see Nvidia and AMD had to change their price policy. Low or almost no sales of products will force a change.

Sweet spot... Around 40C. Imagine we had the same idiocy tech with newer processors😀 Intel was damn close with 8ht gen ulocked BGA where max boost clocks started drop around 55C. NVIDIA Boost behavior for 30 series cards, seems like RETARDED!!!! Edit. Look at the stupidity.... https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080/29.html This is the custom cards model. What nvidia have done now is to increase MSRP for the absolute cheapes cards (FE). There is different types "sheeple". Pay +1200$ for a card that should be priced at max $800 is somewhat different. Edit. Intel shelves Raja Koduri, out of the GPU unit, back to Chief Architect position Intel has announced that its former boss of the AXG graphics division will be shelved, moving back to his previous role as Intel Chief Architect... a sign that the GPU division of Intel is in serious trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will let it run for an hour more, then call it a day. My son has already gamed on the machine a couple of days without a hiccup so I think its all good. Passed also TM5.

You mean the above 100C ? Long time since I have seen graphics cards reaching the boiling point for eggs😀 Tested a bit with the new build. GPU could run a bit colder but the 12900K is around 50C in games so thats fine results. Far away from Azor's "this is fine" HW temp target, LOOL https://hwbot.org/submission/5153481_papusan_unigine_superposition___1080p_xtreme_geforce_rtx_3070_10239_points?recalculate=true https://hwbot.org/submission/5153482_papusan_unigine_superposition___8k_optimized_geforce_rtx_3070_5747_points?recalculate=true Tested Port Royal stress test.

Want to see some more funny? RTX 4080 seems to not have ECC support in their drivers. I expect the same for the rest of the new 4000 series graphics cards as well. And the new rules at the bot will become even more difficult to handle/understand. How shall they be able to take the "cheaters" if you can't show that ECC is enabled with 4000 series cards? All the top end cards from Nvidia will use same type GDDRX VRAM but only the 4090 have the "cheaters" settings in NCCP/drivers. This just show that Nvidia have created a real bastard graphics card in 4090. https://hwbot.org/submission/5152007_dejo_3dmark___port_royal_geforce_rtx_4080_19168_marks

As long stupid people buy products to stupid prices... We will continue have to pay stupid prices. Isn't that stupid? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is already on sale in Serbia, costs 1400 US Dollars videocardz.com Nvidia throw out the 3rd variant of 3050. Isn't that stupid? Or is it greed?

Yes. We finished everything throughout the night. Helped him with some needed software and the full driver install. So everything is ready before the Windows activation and patches. Now it’s his job forwards make sure that the Redmond mafia don’t screw up his new system. Last picture I’ll post from the finished results. A nice and clean setup and with handpicked parts from me 🙂 Amazing we could make a full custom loop with a nice and big D5 pump + a thicker radiator inside this chassis. The only parts he needs now is buying a new keyboard (we use a cheap spare KB for the setup and testing). And he will need a couple of extra ssd’s for storage and backups. Very nice living right outside the bigger cities. Especially with kids. And cleaner air and easy access to the nature with the small lakes and forests. But very hard winters with limited daylight hours. Yesterday on Christmas Eve the weather was fantastic. Topped out at 10 minus and quiet weather. Today… Snowstorm and the power grid is out. Everything damn dark and only a phone can be used until the battery runs out. Can be like this several hours/days so not so fun. Bro @Etern4l I have looked on the quality from Corsair 1500i and compared. My honest opinion. My be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1500W Power Supply feels so much better in quality. Higher quality finish, from the packaging box, to the whole unit and the cables. In short... Everything feels better. On another level. In the future if I need a new PSU much stronger than 1500W PSU or need a second one I would jump directly on the same brand and never look back.

Thanks. Yep, I use scripts for activating my different LTSC and Win 10 versions on my pc’s. But I have always tried push my kids in the right directions (honesty and being kind and nice people). Never do as the old man, LOOL Using the grey area buying keys is already too much in the wrong direction, HaHa

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...
