Hmmm. AMD want pretty premium for the second 3D v-cashe. But $900 USD will be cheap compared to next gen Intel chips with bLLC (Big Last Level Cache). Can't remember have seen mainstream processors going above $900 USD the last two decades. If AMD had the balls and priced it at $999 it would be in HEDT territory. So close but no cigar Could be there is still some hope for people with less outcome... Intel plans to launch overclockable budget CPUs In overall application performance, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 looks like that KS-style chip, offering a minor 3.9% jump over the 9950X3D in multithreaded performance when taking common workloads into account. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 review: More cache, more cash No Ryzen 9950X3D2 for TechPowerUp, Gamers Nexus, or ComputerBase We're not alone. As VideoCardz noted in their review roundup, Gamers Nexus reacted strongly after being denied a sample, ComputerBase, one of the top publications, was also denied, just like many others that you know for their deep, methodical testing—exactly the kind of reviews that dig into cache behavior, inter-CCD latency, power scaling, and per-game CCD parking quirks, which on a part like this are arguably the whole story.

I have never been happy about the stupid cut out on the backplate to reduce thermal paste costs. Have mentioned this several times. Always a bigger risk damage the GPU with this stupid backplate design. Yep, it can happen anyway but the risk is still less with proper made full cover backplate and extra thermal paste above the chips also reduce the temp on the whole GPU and PCB.

Well derserved bro @Mr. Fox?

New tech for old Papusan bro @Prema🙂 Norway have a very good varranty (5 years whatever happens). The old robot failed and the tech service failed to fix it. All money back. Bought the brand new flagship for this year from Dreame and got a free handheld vacuum cleaner due the intro offer due this is brand new model. I paid $350 on top of the refund and got this two babies for the wife. Happy Wife... Happy life🤩 What I think... Modern vacuum robots won't last 5 years. This means I' will get new models without paying much extra years forwards. First paid for one, then you can just upgrade to next flagship model for free and at minimum costs above the refund when it fails. Look at it this way... No new technology is meant to last. At least not for as long as 5 years. I'm going to seize every opportunity to exercise my Norwegian consumer rights @Rage Set🙂

Not sure what you mean. From what I know only MSI offer XOC tools. But I haven't seen it in use outside of some fab clockers/elite. Edit. Also Galax offer own XOC tool. But only for own cards (5090D and 5090D2).

You can get the xx.xx.xx.50 Asus XOC but the efficiency is pretty bad from the Asus XOC. This is one of the few options if you can't use the Matrix/Lightning vbios due fan problems/move some resistors to make it work on Asus. But running the GPU at 1000W without chiller/huge custom cooling for the GPU ain't what I would do. Benchmarks... Yes but not as dayly 24/7 usage. X-flash vbios versions for better performance this gen have been a mess. Even with the better stock Gigabyte vbios without custom cooling create a mess with the fans. Especially if you have Asus cards. Even retail Lightning can't use their own XOC firmware. So pretty screwed. See also....

Microsoft on track try improve monthly patch-updates. Fantastic😅 Microsoft confirms Windows 11 KB5083769, KB5082052 wrongly forcing BitLocker recovery Microsoft has confirmed that a new BitLocker recovery issue is affecting all supported versions of Windows 11, 10, and Server All the claims of better security down the drain. As expected. The better security was the main reason Microsoft abandoned older hardware from being allowed to upgrade to Windows 11. Suckers!! Unpatched Microsoft Defender flaw lets hackers gain admin access A security researcher has published a working exploit for a Microsoft Defender security flaw that affects Windows 10, 11, and Server.

HeHe😄

Hmmm. Same model as this? "Only" $1688,42 USD (MSRP - no tax) here home. Can this be correct? $2,719.99 for the Samsung 9100 PRO is madness. Even worse if you need to pay some tax on top. Clearly seeing prices for tech go to hell in the US. Btw. Long time seen.Hope all is well bro John🙂 The summary of our one month vacation to come away from the bad weather (rain, wind snow and cold) here home. Complete disaster. We could have been home instead and saved a ton money. Rain record in the Canary Islands A new precipitation record was set for March in the Canary Islands this year, and it was much colder than normal.

Everything will be more expensive forwards. Increased inflation is on the way. The less you buy the more you save. Isn't that correct Jensen? Or maybe >>I'm wrong?🤔 EK announces price hike after the company’s worst reputational crisis The more I see from Asus brand the more I see a sinking ship!!! Asus = Alienware Dell nowadays bro @Mr. Fox DISGUSTING!!!! Not that MSI is much better. They all are disgusting bro @Rage Set Yup, Asus didn't scam you this time. But close. They just help empty your pocket.

Payback time because Windows is so sucky... Nothing with modern Windows is good. Expect gamers will follow same paths. And the sad part... US biggest state (the sunstate) won't be alloweed to use other os than Windoze forwards. That sucks. French government say it's ditching Windows for Linux

Payback time because Windows is so sucky... Nothing with modern Windows is good. And the sad part... US biggest state (the sunstate) won't be alloweed to use other os than Windoze forwards. Because some US states want know everything about you every day. From birth to grave. That sucks. French government say it's ditching Windows for Linux

Payback time because Windows is so sucky... Nothing with modern Windows is good. The sad part... US biggest state (the sunstate) won't be alloweed to use other os than Windoze forwards. Because the users need to verify age in same way as for sucky Windoze (Operating systems must ask for a user’s birth date upon setup). Isn't that stupid? Or is it to keep track of who you are? It still sucks! French government say it's ditching Windows for Linux

Yup, I have mentioned this before. Thermal putty leaking under the core and memory chips ain't nice. For me.... I only use thermal putty on my old cards. BTW. Gigabyte use a lot round stickers with a red arrow to avoid RMA costs🙂

Because of stupid company policy...... MSI should minimum have offered 1200W vbios due dual connectors. But nope... They prefered play the safe game and destroy the value of the overpriced card... Asus is bad. A very bad company, but you can still use their XOC firmware for all SKU from same tier they make when it leaks out. But this won't last. Be you sure. Asus is in change and will make same bad moves and lock out XOC firmware for retail cards. Same as the stupid MSI. Real oc'ing as we know it, will soon only be for the elite, fab clockers and their very best friends. All us others will be locked out from proper firmware, vbios and fab XOC tools. Modders can’t flash the 2500W BIOS on a retail retail Lightning Z cards.

LOL Windows 11's emergency March update is breaking window management Update KB5085516 was meant to fix Microsoft app logins. Now some Windows 11 25H2 users can't move or resize windows after installing it. And what will be broken with the coming fix? @Mr. Fox🤔 Microsoft acknowledges Windows 11's search problems, working on a fix Windows 11's Start menu search is slow and inconsistent. Microsoft confirms fixes are coming, including a unified search update.

Always fun to see Northwestrepair videos😁 From 2:00 (Please turn up the sound to max)🤩 Hmmm. Nope. No thanks. Not in Hell. ASUS raises prices for its Radeon RX 9070 XT GPUs by up to 17% The ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT has seen its price increase from $799.99 to $939.99, a 17.5% increase, which is reflected on the aggregate site PCPartPicker. As for the flagship ASUS TUF GAMING Radeon RX 9070 XT, its price has risen from $849.99 to $989.99, a 16.5% increase. Although the $599 MSRP set by AMD for the Radeon RX 9070 XT has never really been a reality for most Radeon RX 9070 XT models, this new price for the TUF GAMING variant represents a massive 65% increase over what some gamers were able to spend to pick up a Radeon RX 9070 XT at launch.

Intel's Samsung trashphone moment.... Intel BOT Optimization Tool Uses Vectorization, Raises Benchmark Fairness Questions Better. Last week OF THE HOLIDAY with full Calima and bad lung capacity. Now back home. 5C and icecold wind. And it continue....☹️ Edit. 1.7C now and it feels like 1.9 minus showed by the weathercast. But thanks bro @Mr. Fox. Appreciate your consideration 🙂 Now the weather is great outside Africa. 23-25C in the days. I ordered the holiday for the wrong week (Worst Weather in years). We wanted to visit our Danish friends when they was there. The problem was to get different time for the flight from where I live. Hence we travelled 1-2 weeks before we wanted to see them. Hence fiasko for the first 1.5 weeks (Worst Weather in years here down in Canary). Our Danish friends avoid the bad weather because they arrived two weeks later. Luck for them. And bad for us. If we ordered the flight to go from Oslo (500km away) we would need to stay in trashy Oslo 2 more days. When we travelled from Trondheim (home) it was the last chance to avoid that. Now we have paid the full price because Norways is a small country that prefer profits over what people want/prefer.

Microsoft is no longer a company that sells operating systems to PC owners, it entices users onto its platform to monetize them. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3102428/want-me-to-trust-windows-11-again-bring-back-local-accounts.html

LOL @Mr. Fox Latest Windows 11 update is being withdrawn Corrupt files cause the installation to fail. Microsoft has recently faced an ever-growing amount of criticism for bugs and other problems with the Windows 11 operating system. However, the company has promised that they are hearing the criticism and improvements are on the way.

Software or huge driver packages to try fix their hardware to function properly is lame. In the old days you didnt have to install software or drivers to make Intel chips works. Even the chipset driver isn't an real driver. **** also feels like a workaround **** rather than a fundamental improvement in game performance. Instead of broad architectural gains, this approach selectively enhances individual titles through predefined profiles. The biggest limitation is support https://www.guru3d.com/review/core-ultra-5-250k-and-7-270k-plus-processor-review/page-30/

Hmm. Seen more info about this? Intel should stop make such changes within same gen Chips (to upsell the refresh as something new). Almost as Nvidia making new gen fake frames features as the new for new gen Graphics cards. Soon you'll pay extra for software features or slight tuned firmware/vbios versions to milk more money from the more expensive Gpu SKUs. A popular benchmark, Geekbench, says it will issue a warning when Intel’s new “Arrow Lake Refresh” desktop chips enable Intel’s new IBOT feature. Why? Because the benchmark vendor can’t be sure that scores reported with it can be considered trustworthy. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3099125/intel-new-performance-tool-casts-doubt-on-benchmark-scores.html Regarding IBOT. NOT Intel APO. What will Intel brand the Optimizer software feature next time? What buyers of Arrow Lake Refresh should know is that IBOT is not on by default, so if you want this performance boost, you must use Intel’s software to activate the feature. It also is only in 12 games as a start, with no concrete timeline for additional title support. And yes, for those who’ve abandoned Windows: IBOT will eventually come to Linux. But Intel won’t say when—not just yet.

Windows 11 users have heard Microsoft's promises before. That's the problem The trust is almost gone.

Nope, no compute can fix this. The bad weather we have in Norway follow me also down to my favorite place outside Africa. 10 days into my holiday and same bad awful weather every damn day. Someone really hates me🤕 The icecoold from Sept to May in my home place under the North pole ain't enough, then this trash/winter storms in the spring down south. I don't know what to say. Almost giving up. And the Bungalows and outside area isn't built for this type rainy weather/storms. Tiles on the floor everywhere can't drain the flood of rain.The climate is in change. The fix is building more AI slop running on more gas and oil. Sure. I living in one of the coldest an rainy places on earth. The weather being worse and worse. Rest of the world will follow same paths. Sad. Tenerife hit by snow as Storm Therese brings wind and rain to Canary Islands https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/cr51n7yd7v5o
