It's a desktop
There are countless cooling options available
Stop focusing on power efficiency and let it soar
Their main focus is on maximum profits and market shares. And that’s where the Jokebook chips come in. Re-use same chips for desktops only make sense. For them. Not the power enthusiasts. 100% more baby cores for coming laptops is the only option they have to stay within the TDP target for laptops cooling. More P-cores would push all cores boost clock frequency down the drain.
AMD will offer an 40% performance increase for 7000 series chips. And Alder lake can barely offer same performance as AMDs soon EOL chips from 2020. Raptor lake won’t be able to offer a 40% performance increase over Alder lake. And Intel will once again be pushed back to before AMD started with Ryzen chips. 1 steps forward and two steps backwards with those modern E-cores. Awful progress. People asked for more cores. And Intel delivered, LOOL
More bling bling…. People can’t get enough….

Yeah, too funny. 100% accurate, too. I often have to go to the bathroom to wet and comb my hair prior to a teleconference at work because my hair will be doing stupid stuff like his daughter's hair was doing in the video. It looks ridiculous if I do not. The climate where he lives is very similar, but it is hotter and even lower humidity here. Where I live is very similar to Death Valley, CA. It is not even summer yet, but today it is 102°F (42°C) and 10% relative humidity. Next month we will start to see our overnight lows higher than the current temperature.
Does a humidifier help? Or do you need more than one (for different rooms) due the extreme climate? You live in a dust and hot hell. I live in the oppsite climate. Loads of rain, wind, humid weather, Snow, cold (even in the summer) and the dreaded dark season that force you to eat D-vitamines, lots of fish to survive (no sun at all). And I as you. Hate it as hell.

Loving the continued benching and testing of older GPUs on state of the art CPUs knowing you're extracting every bit of performance out of those cards.
I hate shoelaces. One of many reasons I bought Viking shoes with BOA closure system. Same reason I go for the Crocs. Fast and easy locking. And Ok to wear 🙂
Yep, I can have equal fun with older things. I won't pay overprices only to have the newest. I expect 4000 series will be expensive but I don't think the next gen cards will go for 2x MSRP.
Look at the beauty 🙂

Hold on a second!
You mean to tell me the bulk of the massive profiteering the last year or so for GPU makers (especially Nvidia) was due to the crytomining market and now that it is imploding (again) their stocks drop and Nvidia can't definitively state how much of an effect the now obvious miners buying up cards had on their revenue stream?
Really?
I'm quite sure Nvidia know but don't dare tell the truth. The press and the shareholders shouldn't know how they run its business.
Nvidia will pay $5.5 million to settle charges that it unlawfully obscured how many of its graphics cards were sold to cryptocurrency miners. The US Securities and Exchange Commission announced the charges and a settlement with the company today.May 6, 2022Nvidia fined $5.5 million over crypto mining GPU disclosures

Nvidia Stock Plunges, Q2 Revenue Outlook Below Expectations
Dropping 10% after-hours, despite strong 1Q results.
Perhaps more telling, however, is the reduction in Nvidia's CMP (Cryptocurrency Mining Processor) cards' revenue, which the company introduced into the market as a way to lure cryptocurrency miners away from gaming-oriented GeForce cards.
investors must be cautious - there's no way to know exactly what percentage of Nvidia's gaming growth is still attributable to cryptocurrency mining.
As per usual, Nvidia states that it can't accurately forecast how much of its gaming GPU revenue comes from cryptomining. There you have it. Of course they won't tell the whole truth. Greed have its price.

Not a bad start with the new old. The Asic score for the GTX 670 Asus card is 78.6%. And run a bit hot but this is to be expected with a 10 years old card 🙂
Opened up the new old and yep, the thermal stamp was totally dried out. Nothing will survive 10 years wear and tear. And I don't like such cold plate composition. Either pure copper cold plate or a VC. This type coldplates will never give you max thermal conductivity. This GTX 670 was a $440 purchase 10 years ago (equal $583.37 today) and compared to the heatsink design they use on nowadays graphics cards from same SKU line up it should have costed a lot less. Yep, nvidia and the OEM made a lot money going with a cheapo design in the old days.

3 hours ago, Mr. Fox said:If something seems too good to be true, chances are great that is going to be the case. It certainly was for my 5950X experience. Things looked good on the surface, or when looking at benchmark screenshots, but that was about as far as it went. In practical application, the ownership experience really sucked.
Perhaps they only speak of single thread performance because the high boost clock does not work with all core overclocking, or the temperatures are so far out of control that the only way you can do it on all cores is with LN2 (same as Ryzen 9 5XXX). And, yeah... that mickey mouse PBO wuss overclocking nonsense was/is definitely for the birds. With stock and aftermarket software, or using the BIOS, it was never all it was cracked up to be. The other thing is, whatever the clock speeds are, even if they are much higher that last gen, those clock speeds instantly become the new normal. They're no longer special... they're normal and expected. If I can't extract another 500MHz or so on all core on what I buy, then it's not worth a damn. It still sucks at overclocking, and isn't worth buying. About 75-90% of the pleasure I derive from owning a high end CPU or GPU is contingent upon the ability to overclock the crap out of it and have something remarkably better than the gamerkid mama's-boy trash.
Maybe they recently figured out what real overclocking looks like. Or, maybe Frank Azor (who doesn't know) has effectively tutored them on how to cleverly represent things so they appear to be the way you want them to appear. Time will tell. But, we will still be left with having to rely on marketing hype and fanboys like last time and that didn't work well for me. We mostly heard and saw what looked good on the surface and the stuff that wasn't so good, or was worse than it sounded like it was going to be, was not evident until it was too late to undo the mistake.
Nice write up. But my best bet.... More and faster I/O means probably a new round wit their previous mess with 5000 series chips. More doesn't always mean better. How long have they struggled with stabillity issues? Near 2 years now. And I think the reason they won't push it out before the fall. Aka it will be 2 years after the release of 5000 series chips and this means they still have those or simular problems even with the new platform. Yep, 16 real cores will kill the Raptor Hybrid mess in all multi threaded benches/tasks but it will come with a bad taste. Everything new with this new AMD platform will be a mess the next coming 6-12 months.

Greetings all, hope everyone had a great weekend !!
Horrible opening with BGA shilling to hell about how thin it is, absolute sad nonsense GARBAGE paired with Win11 and ChromeOS both being absolute dumpster class. Disgusting but yea, BGA mints cash AMD wants that like Intel, Ngreedia, crApple. We also have Azor the ex-Dellienware anti socketed pro BGA guy also comes to add his share of PR "Gamers looking for a Desktop like experience in a gaming laptop" "Alienware M17 R5" and also his BS about how thin these new BGA dumpsters are, hey please forget the throttling pile what it is lmao. 1/2 of the video is about BGA. Why not open with Desktop beast Zen 4 ? I digress.
Looks like they are adding some BIOS / Firmware level Direct Storage option like Smart Access Storage, more Microshaft propreitary garbage to BGA machines. I hope Vulkan have something, but anyways all this for Gaming is just mostly smoke and mirrors as it's mostly useful for consoles of 8th gen because they are having slow molasses storage. And game devs tailoring for them. I doubt there would be any sort of resource contention reduction like CPU cycles and GPU which will impact in higher performance with that DX Storage except for load times. That upcoming DOA Forspoken already demoed it with even SATA SSDs but they didn't put what's the loading speed without that option...moving on..
SKIP TO 17:35 to get to the actual Hardware
AM4 legacy is shown, no doubt it's a massive achievement even it it's flaws, I like it. So new IOD means I think all the existing nonsensical flaky chips in Zen 3 are things of past ?. No X3D stack on Zen 4, probably as we all know it's just an experiment for AMD.
Zen 4 - New IODie on TSMC 6N with iGPU (waste of space but yeah they want to get more SI orders and also streamline their pipeline probably). 5GHz+ sustained clocks. TSMC 5N node with higher TDP than Zen 3, 15% IPC growth and extra L2 Cache. Yep Cache is the future, Intel knew this with i7 5775C but axed it and made it only for Apple BGA. But AMD cashed on it on EPYC and X3D Gaming processor. And unfortunately no X3D Cache stack, probably AMD decided it's not worth for the extra heat and more cost and they need high speed clocks now.
New IO capabilities are very good, it's having 4 more CPU PCIe lanes over 12900K (20 CPU lanes) (which is same as of 11900K only PCIe link speed changed and Chipset with DMI), AM5's having dual chipset design. Ton of I/O here...ofc the new X670E Segmentation where they are having PCIe5.0 on all and they also say it's having more VRM components too. I feel this is a very bad point they added a segmentation on top Mobo now... Esp the fact is all boards have PCIe5.0 SSD M.2 and GPU X16 lanes slot. Wonder what the extra I/O would be.
So basically AM5's X670E gets an x4 speed PCIe5.0 SSD option on 12900K this has to be done on PCIe slot and not a direct option (meaning X16 GPU lane top slot will be X8 if using 5.0 SSD). I bet Z790 will be on par like this, since LGA1700 has 1800pins so easy for Intel to add more PCIe lanes to the RPL processors. Also insane I/O, I want to know what's the DMI link speed on X670. Z690 got PCIe4.0x8, X570 had PCIe4.0x4, Z590 with 11th gen was PCIe3.0x8 (Same as X570) and Z590 with 10th gen was PCIe3.0x4. But how much does PCIe5.0 SSD even do over PCIe 3.0 even lol in reality, I doubt many use SSDs to max, because if they do the DMI will be choked. Look at it, just 2x NVMe SSDs max throughput is enough to saturate the DMI on Z690.
A shame how segmentation is coming, this marks HEDT death ? I hope not. Fingers crossed for Sapphire Rapids XEON.
Also Extreme Overclocking lol, how AMD will do the OC now is interesting, I want to see if AMD allows like Intel fixed high speed Clock on ALL CORES and not that PBO2 again and call the annoying Curve Optimizer BS and Voltage as OC. They are having new XMP rival though. Gotta see the battle in Fall 2022 🙂
5.5GHz clock rate is shown in the demo btw, that's a big achievement for AMD. Plus Blender workload is clearly shown as Zen 4 based pre-prod CPU is beating out 12900K by 31% in speed (the CPU is 7950X as Lisa Su says both are 16C processors lol). No wonder Big Little gets destroyed by real Big Cores running at super fast speeds.
Nice write up bro. An interesting bit as bro @electrosofttalked about below. IPC and clock speed increase (in benchmarks). What do AMD really offer? Not so sure what they try to claim for the Higher single theaded boost and higher IPC. I can't find this to fits together. 15% higher single threaded bench score with higher boost clocks and included the higher IPC. What made the 15% performance increse the IPC or the higher clock speed? What I know is that Cinebench respond on both (IPC and boost clocks). What AMD show here is somewhat weird vs their statements about the performance increase.
And if you add the 15% perf increase above the older 16 cores 5950X, the new one still offer low sinlgle threaded performance and don't match IPC increase paired with the claimed much higher clock speed. It seems AMD have put all the balls in their hat and offer lower all core boost clocks due the 16 real cores and try offer higher single/double cores clock speed. Aka compete nicely with Intel in gaming and then kill them to breakfast in all cores tasks.
Damn the Intel love for Hybrid and baby cores to try keep the TDP low enough to match most of the small AIO's out there. Intel can brand all their new chips with whatever they want but their chips is a power hog (one of the reasons they is forced to put in those e-cores). A small die help also on the bottom line. Aka the profits.
Yep, what I see from AMD is weird numbers that don't match what they will offer.
https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-amd_ryzen_9_5950x
intel…
Btw. I expect AMD will offer the 3D Cashe tech for the refresh next year. AMD ain’t good offer new chips every year. Re-hash the old is typical AMD.

Btw. A new baby got a new home 🙂 Sorry bro @electrosoftI forgot put on my crocks😁 Hope you are happy enough with the "Norwegian" Viking Boa shoes🙃 Damn good shoes.

Personally i dont see it as a a big deal because no application is going to make the CPU/GPU run at their maximum wattage at the same time besides stress tests. Laptop's power bricks are already limited to 330w i think, anymore wattage it'll require having a second power brick like in the past. At that point you mind well buy a desktop instead and save money.
I still dont like MSI's false advertising about it like its a new thing......
Look at some Youtube videos of the Alienware X17. Cpu clock drop once you have full load on the Gpu. And adding more cores is meant to help you to run other tasks simultaneous in the background. DTR = Desktop replacement. Do more.... Even if you game🙂
Whats the point with an unlocked i9 if it's castrated to run 2.6-3.4GHz in games? And what if you want the Cpu to do more? Damn nice if the Cpu barely is able to run low boost/base clock frequency due the power sharing features to cut costs on cooling/thin over functionality.
https://youtu.be/-fTc-F41P84?t=125
And dual power adapter ain't something new, if they went that route. Have been here the last 2 decades. But as all know... Dual adapters doesn't fit in with thin and slim. Aka design over functionality. Just wait for next gen crippling... Normal Power adapters (280-330W) willl be gooner/gone and the new modern slim 240/250W USB-C adapters is all what you'll get for your gaming-book. Yep, Dynamic Boost will come in new revision and will be more and more important.

Microsoft has also started testing experimental features for Windows 11 with the help of Insiders in the Dev Channel. Yesterday's Windows 11 Preview Build 25120 was the first one to introduce these features. More details on that here.
Yep, Win 11 is the most secure Windows ever. And Microsoft try out a new way forcing you to use their Edge browser.
During the first day of Pwn2Own Vancouver 2022, participants demonstrated various zero-day exploits and security loopholes in popular Microsoft products, such as Windows 11 and Teams.
The new Windows 11 desktop search bar will make you use Edge @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix
The latest Dev Channel Insider Preview Build came with an exciting new addition to the OS.
However, using the new desktop search bar comes with a price many are unwilling to pay.
Every search made through it will default to Edge, ignoring your already preselected browser.-

Wow. What a great reason to avoid purchasing a 3090 Ti Kingpin card. I am already predisposed to avoiding them in the future with only one readily available option, grossly overpriced, and not the best one. If there is going to be no Hydro Copper available for it, then it would be an utterly worthless product to me. While I have no intention of purchasing a 3090 Ti, I would be super pissed to find out after buying a Kingpin card that there was no plan to offer the water block.
And what with 4000 series? Nvidia will push out 4090 first then the Ti version will come later.

surely nobody could stop us from just connecting the fans directly to the mobo instead of the pump? 😋 or is there some kinda gimmick that prevents the pump from switching on if u dont have the fans connected to it? 😅
Nope, Arctic meant it looks prettier with a single power cable from the 3 fans going hided through the water cable sleeving from rad to the pump head and being connected there. Aka one cable fits all from the MB to the pump to power up everything. This means the pump will rotate at minimum if the fans run slow/low load. This is doomed to clogg up the cold plates cooling fins in the pump head before time. And this will hamper the water flow (the water will be hotter than needed).

as @papusan just mentioned, would be interesting to see how the arctic would fare with the corsair fans and vice versa. iirc the arctic rad is much thicker than its corsair colleague, so that leaves the pump and the fans as variables....unless of course the fin density is significantly different between the two rads? or the arctic cold plate is somehow skewed...
in any case, congratz on that "open box" deal! 🙂
The connection between the fans and the the pump is an retarded design from Arctic (but sadly some value it as an advantage because of less cable mess - design over functionality once again). Pump and fans should never have to be connected together as one single unit. The MB have several fan headers for a reason🙃

Next gen I think I'm going full custom water for the CPU, but likely not the GPU since it seems those blocks are a lot less reusable like a CPU block. The Artic cooler was definitely a simple setup and no terrible Corsair software, but the lack of pump control/speed may have been the issue. The rad block was impressive, and may have benefitted from beefier fans to push air through it.
I expect you used the stock fans for the Artic cooler. They are all too weak and run slow. And none should connect the fans together with the pump head as the default setup. The fans is simply too weak if you want best cooling performance. + they reduce pump speed if you use the PWM signal to control the fan speed. The pump will also have a longer life if you restrict it from running slow speed or up and down as a jojo (this also hamper the cooling performance + clogging up the cold plate cooling fins). But most people value minimum fan and pump noise over functionality, sooo.
What benefits will you have from sub 2.5W less power consumption pr/hour for a single Pc or 10? I can understand it if you have +1000 pc's running 24/7/365 but I don't think Arctic have this type consumers in mind.

What a failure. 250W distributed between Cpu and Gpu is a tragedy. In the older days the GPU by itself could get 200W TDP and the Cpu got what it needed. Yep, Ultra High end ain't as before.
MSI is going to reintroduce the Titan lineup with a new GT77 model. MSI claims that this is the first model to feature 250 W total CPU+GPU power where dynamic boosting for the CPU can go up to 160 W. This means the 3080 Ti GPU is left out with a wimpy 90W, LOOL @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix
"By default, the CPU can operate at 75 W and the GPU at 175 W, but when the GPU is not used at its fullest, the system can allocate up to 160 W for the CPU".
Yep, the fantastic modern feature as Dynamic boost help the OEMs to keep their goal as etc reduce/keep same thin chassis thickness/or use cheaper cooling. Just cripple the Graphics TDP with nasty feature to let the Cpu stretch its legs. Or just do the opposite.
All the OEMs have lost the grip on what High end should be. Even Apple call their tablets (iPads) high end, soooo. This is all what you'll get nowadays if you wrap up your wallets and pay for #High End#.

No, I have not. Since the Green Goblin moved to DCH drivers and no longer support traditional drivers I am no longer testing new drivers. I hate the DCH feces and will avoid using them for as long as I can. I don't spend a lot of time gaming, so it is rare that I have to care about Nazi game developers buildiing crappy titles that force you to use a newer driver to play the game. I am fine with "suggestions" but using force is just messed up.
Here's an Out of band standalone driver. NO DCH filthy for Windows 7.

Ya oops, I should have said its win10, which I also assumed most people here just use given the issues with 11. I have avoided W11 out of reasons like this, however it seems as though I have also gotten this in windows 10 updates, however newer updates have seemed to have patched it so far.
I am wanting to ask, can one go from Windows 10 to enterprise via just a key change, or do I need to do a total system reinstallation? I mainly got windows 10 pro because I do not run a server and the keys are cheap, however given the performance and stability benefits, it might be wise to switch. This said, back in the old Notebook review forum, there was a few threads dedicated to optimizing windows, is there anything like that here by chance? I remember a program called donotspy which seemed to do most of the tricks.
Hi. Nope, you'll need to do a clean Windows install. Always do that regardless of version you have.
Here's the Win 10 Tweak library from old NBR. Links go to Tech target but many of the tweaks is shown "How to" in the different posts + you can google the tweaks.
I use... Win 10 Ent 2019 LTSC and Win 10 Ent 2021 LTSC in dual boot. Those Windows versions comes with less bloat.
Then I use the software below. I never follow Microsoft own patch update schedule. I update when I see the need and when I know the patches is safe to install. And I update Win update patches that I myself have downloaded and only when I have disconnected the network. Proper links to threads below.

Here's also a tool for Windows 10 tweaks from Chris Titus. His debloater script tool is brand new and updated and may have some bugs in the beginning. A good tool as well.
And follow the OS forum section. Always updated with new info about Windows and Microsoft stupidity.... Windows
Good luck brother, whatever you want to try🙂

Our old friend, the salesman Frank Azor is out again to promote the advantage with Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards. All is about better performance per dollar. As well FPS pr Watt. Remember buy some popcorn, then just wait for Nvidias response. Gamers is suddenly their target. Why now and not before?
AMD’s new battleground is performance per dollar.

Nvidia releases emergency security driver for Kepler GTX 700 and 600 series GPUs
Sayan Sen · 2 hours ago
And as usual.... nvidia put up the middel finger to those with Kepler based laptop graphics cards.
Nvidia has released a couple of drivers today for Kepler-based GeForce GTX 600 and 700 series cards. However, these drivers are not your usual Game Ready drivers but are important security updates.
As such, the driver changelog does not list any fixed bugs or known issues. The release note only says:
NVIDIA has released a software security update display driver for desktop Kepler-series GeForce GPUs which are no longer supported by Game Ready Drivers. This update addresses issues that may lead to multiple security impacts.
The links to download the new security drivers are provided below:
Download: Windows 10: Standard / DCH (473.47)
You can find more details on these vulnerabilities on Nvidia's security bulletin page here.

So it is likely that Nvidia would save it for a "4090 Ti" refresh down the line.
Waiting for the Ti just means it’s just below 6-10 months before a possible 5000 series release. Having the best from Nvidia’s graphics cards isn’t as before.
And Nvidia isn’t finished with similar scams as they did with the 3080@castrated Vram. Even their cheaper SKUs get same treatment.
The card is rated for a total graphics power (TGP) of 200 W, which is about 30 W higher than that of the RTX 3060.
That catch here, though, is the 192-bit 8 GB of GDDR6X VRAM. We are not quite sure as to why the RTX 4060 is rumored to offer 4 GB less VRAM than the RTX 3060
