Roundup: Thermalright TF4, TF7, TF8, TF9 and TFX in the test – thermal paste from flowing screed to bunker concrete igorslab

$360 vs $500 USD. And the winner is.... AMD😁 Poor those stupid gamers that pay or paid full MSRP for the new and shiny BulldoZen5. See also...... Timestamp from 1:43

Also Vex see the same as me. Nvidia helping out China with AI servers to avoid the US ban. And they really need all the vram and big boy die's they can get. And Nvidia want all the profit they can get from it. Hence they lock their eyes and let em double up vram for gamer cards as etc 4090(D) and 4080 (Super) - intended with only half ov the vram for GAMERS Screwed. The U:S ban is an Joke and Jensen know it. Nvidia doing Nvidia things and put up the middle up finger to the screwed gamers and the idiots in the U:S Governments. Nice.

Roundup with 5 phase change pads in test: Honeywell PTM7950, PTM7950SP vs. OEM PCM5000, PCM8500 and Thermalright Heilos igorslab.de

The most fun I have seen today. AMD Zen5 chips (RYZEN 9000 SERIES) is now rebranded to BulldoZen5. Yup, this one really made my day😁 Final conclution from Hardware Unboxed. Yup, this did not come as a big surprise bro @Mr. Fox The flopp is real! Greedy, unethical testing and false claims come at a price.... AND AMD PAY FOR IT RIGHT NOW. See the time stamp 20:38 AMD rather prefer sell high cost overpriced re-branded boards instead of offering cheaper options.... AMD Delays B840 and B850 Motherboards to Early 2025; X870 and X870E Are Set for September Release

The most fun I have seen today. AMD Zen5 chips is now rebranded to BulldoZen5. Yup, that one made my day😁 Have a nice weekend. Nice to see you back bro @Etern4l. Hope all is well. If you don't mind loosing warranty then use liquid metal on your stock IHS. Better for longeivity on LM. See also bro Fox post. The Rockit IHS (or any good quality custom IHS with slight higher Z-hight) was good for laptops with sloppy heat sink pressure and uneven quality for the ILM in LGA laptops. For desktops... Not so much.

Finally, the juicy fruits poppin up from Microsoft. As they now have started up again new features for older Win 10. Isn't that a good thing bro @Mr. Fox?🤢 Why not just let us have the old OS without new trashy Win 11 features? Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 neowin.com · 9 minutes ago 0 If you are sticking to Windows 10 because it has fewer annoyances than Windows 11, especially in the Start menu, we have bad news for you....

I'm not so sure bro @Mr. Fox. Because everything they touch will turn into problems. Just lovely. More bugs have popped up with this new Win11 update. This is an reminder of never pach on the patch day and rather wait at least 2-4 weeks before you try download and install so called "fixes patches" from Microsoft. Latest Windows 11 update cripples PCs. Here's what to do if you're affected This cumulative update for Windows 11 can slow down PCs so badly that they become unusable.

Just lovely. The usual. More bugs have popped up with this new CU update. Latest Windows 11 update cripples PCs. Here's what to do if you're affected

Hmm. Extra 8 pin have been already on a few boards from both AMD and Intel (Z690 Apex had 6-pin and the Z790 Apex got 8-pin). I don't see Nvidia will push this as requirements for new GPUs. Remember all the older boardsout there that will be paired with 5090, and 95% of them all don't have it. And You can't feed more power to the GPU from the PCIe Gen5 slot. More likely they will make ready for next gen less power hungry AI cards not meant for gaming. Pair two of them and you are good to go (not for gaming). Isn't that disgusting? Also with all the modern RGB bling people want nowadays, charging of the kids tech gears and the need for fan headers with higher AMP rating, the boards need more 12v ompha than you'll get out from the old fashion 24-pin MB connector.

Check out WPD above and see what the software find of Enabled/Disabled services or apps. As well check same settings in O&O shutup. Both programs need same settings applied to offer correct settings. I would ask in Sordum for some help/guidelines. I would also try free AV software to override what Windows try to do so it can take over the control.

Check out Sordum. Maybe you can still use the Defender Control tool v2.1. Also look in the comments section for that tool. Guides in there. As well try free AV software and then white list needed apps/software. Can't remember what Os and build you use. Also check out... *WPD v1.5 RC1 [WPD is a portable app to manage your Windows 10 privacy and firewall settings, uninstall Windows apps, and decide what apps can access your information]. See what it finds enabled/Disabled.

What I meant. If wrong settings is applied in regedit then change the value to the correct one. Maybe you have tried it before. And regarding the added microcode in Windows,... Can be deleted in Windows so only the MC in bios will be used.

Z790 APEX ENCORE/ Z790 APEX TEST BIOS 9933 For XOC 1. need ln2 mode enabled and mode2 if use gear 4 dont use mode 2 (dont use ambient temp OC, only use to LN2 OC) 2. can switch 11F ucode in bios https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-700-600-series/raptorlake-resources/m-p/1035782/highlight/true#M24593 https://community.hwbot.org/topic/220910-asus-rog-maximus-apex-z790-apex-15/?do=findComment&comment=673420

Microcode 0x129. Intel's Raptor Lake refresh has to stay after school - Conclusion https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/prozessoren/64213-microcode-0x129-raptor-lake-refresh-muss-nachsitzen.html?start=9

At least check out... You can check whether Windows Security Center is enabled in the Registry Editor.

Here's the newest X3D chips. And it's from AMD. Maybe he should have used an 13th/14th gen Intel chips, LOOL

I expect loads of people undervolt as mad. On the edge of stability and you'll get weird problems in some tasks/games. And then they will blame Intel or and the MB manufacturers for their self introduced problems. I doub't we will see 300K branding. That will be their next SKU line-up. Maybe an 295K as the KS. Higher clocks but with still same amount cores/threads.

This sum up today's new modern tech. Create disasters to be able to maximice profits. We need bigger chips and with same sorts of cores. And more cores if needed for more performance. Not this modern hybrid or glued togeter tiles mess. @Prema Here's is the latest Intel ME Firmware Update v16.1.32.2473. Can you see what this brings? Probably new security fixes as usual. Or a re-brand. Thanks

I really like good news @Mr. Fox🙂 Google Faces A Revived Class Action Lawsuit For Accessing User Information Without Consent

Yup. And this apply also for the OS. An update made to fix a vulnerability broke dual-boot Windows-Linux PCs neowin.com · 7 hours ago A Windows Patch Tuesday update that was supposed to fix a vulnerability has caused a number of dual-boot Windows-Linus PCs to no longer boot up in Linux. Microsoft has yet to fix this problem.

Intel haven't many other choices. The sales in Korea has sinked as a stone in the ocean and more of this news you see below will increase the damage further. And all the new bugged beta bios from the mb manufacturers don't help on the situation.

See below. File contain innstaller and uninstaller from our old good friend @Prema But no need for latest Intel ME Firmware Update v16.1.32.2418. Also latest MEI driver if this is something you want for the ME firmware.

So even with the MC 0x129 with the new Asus XOC beta bios you got back the SA bug.... Hmmmm. Your reply. I tested the ASUS XOC BIOS that @safedisk posted (v9933) and the SA bug returned to that CPU even with 0x129 MC. What a disgusting soap opera this has become with the different motherboard manufacturers. 1.6V when loading up the OS with the new so called fixed bios (MC 0x129). Could be a detective board but who knows. .
