Cancer!!!! Never ever touch that brand. See for yourself... Have you seen similar before? Probably, because proprietary MB is the normal in laptops. But in desktops? Nope. XPS 8960 Service Manual | Dell US This is how a MB should looks like if they followed the ATX form factor. But Dell and a few others walk their own way with proprietary design. And not only for the board... I fix it for you bro Fox. They are equal Cancer!!! Use of socket CPU, desktop memory sticks and desktop GPU doesn't justify what Dell did with the whole PC package. Proprietary MB, PSU, cooling, bling bling and the PC box is just disgusting. And I won't talk about the very limited and fully locked down bios. That has to be for another day.

Probably +10 laptops, 3 desktops, 2 NAS and 20 graphics cards. All HW are spread around everywhere. So difficult to tell exactly how many I have in my position, HaHa

Yet, you continue collect up new laptops. Hmmm. Hope the new one is the last one you spend more than $200 for. No new modern laptop is worth more. I hope everything works out well for you. Not only for the money, but also for your health. Swift recovery bro Ryan.

New/newer has to be better. Always. Isn't it? @ryan @Mr. Fox++++ Security patch breaks Wi-Fi on Windows 11 PCs with Qualcomm 802.11r Wi-Fi module Just another Windows patch creating problems! A sad, familiar story for Windows users Issues caused by Windows updates are pretty well-documented, thanks to official Windows forums. Recently, Microsoft rolled out an update for another issue which renamed all printers to HP. Microsoft has not responded to the issue related to 802.11r yet, but it's fair to say the software giant will roll out a fix eventually. It only took nearly a month for it to issue a fix to the printer issue. You can live without Wi-Fi for that long, right? It took ONLY Microsoft more than a year to fix one of the most infuriating Windows 11 bugs

Nice, so a slim chance to see 14900KS pop out over New Year if Intel have binned properly. Yup, there is headroom for 6.2GHz chips if Intel push out KS's looking like that one. You mean Canadian dollars? If so maybe save up to the $900 USD floor and I'm sure you'll find something. You can then sell one of the laptops and grab back some of the lost money you spent on the new Jokebook 🙂

FSP preparing 2500W power supply with four PCIe 12V-2×6 GPU power cables FSP is at the forefront of providing power solutions for a diverse range of applications, whether it’s fueling a cryptofarms, a multi-user gaming rig, or an advanced AI compute platform. The upcoming Cannon Pro 2500W power supply, set to launch soon, is to feature 80 Plus Platinum certification, ATX 3.1 standard specs, and an upgraded PCIe Gen5 connector. The Cannon Pro stands out with three PCIe 6+2-pin and four PCIe 12V-2×6 connectors, allowing for the simultaneous use of up to four RTX 4090 cards, or even five with the remaining standard PCIe cables. I wonder how many AD102 dies Nvidia stole from the Global gamers to support China with new gamer server cards... NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090D reportedly launches on December 28th in China Not in 2024, but already this year, gamers in China governments corporations will again have access to RTX 4090 graphics, sort of. The new model called RTX 4090D is a special edition designed to circumvent the U.S. export restrictions on high-performance GPUs that meet the 4800 TOPS threshold. Hmmm. Will these cards also be pushed into AI servers? And can we be sure Nvidia didn't hided a open door for more perfomance as they did with the 'LHR' video cards (Little Hash Rate) to boost sales of gamer cards for mining? Do you trust Nvidia @Mr. Fox @electrosoft? Hmmm. What shall you with yet another Jokebook bro ryan? Are you an collector? I usually get my (old) laptops for my collection... I mean my Jokebooks for free. I don't want to pay for them. Paying above 200$ for a new one... No thanks. Even 100$ is all too much. But I don't say no thanks if they are for free... Free has to be todays word🙂 You can have a lot fun with older HW. Just start build an new cheap PC. Much more fun than expensive Jokebooks.... And you don't need to emptying your wallet.

Intel Brings Huge Improvements To Xe Kernel GPU Driver For Linux 6.8, Arrow Lake & Lunar Lake Gain Additional Support @Mr. Fox Intel Has Ramped Up Development At Linux, Targeted at Improving Xe Graphics Drivers & Offering Support For Next-Gen Arrow Lake & Lunar Lake CPUs

I really hope EU regulation will look on this. Google won’t come around a huge fine when EU are finished with them. They will rip them apart. Google has gone too far now.

It's well known that the Gigabyte cards have inferior PCB design. And from what I have seen/told from repairmans... The Gpu PCB from Asus flex quite a bit (even more than the trashy weird shaped PCB from Gigabyte) and are prone to crack as well due this. Much of this can be avoided with proper support sticks when the card is mounted. Also proper caring when you mount the card/take it out. But I expect some of the crack cases come from inserting/removing of the cards. As well if you ship the card mounted in an pc box. An inferiour PCB design is the major culprit togeteher with user errors as already mentioned. And a good support stick won't always save the card from user errors. A solid PCB design can help reduce this problem. But as we know... Better PCB design cost more money. LOOL. A real crocs family there.

It seems AMD is the one that offer the less appealing tech. Before it was the their HW. Now their software. Their software tech is not worthy to be used in games. From 22:51 @Talon Asus haven't only a problem with melting connectors if paired with Cablemod adapters. Also Gigabyte continue with their nice red arrow stickers pointing out their flawy designed PCB designs.

Yup. Aris is spot on. The design of the fan need to be improved (from 3:21) and from 6:28 he stated "I expected more... Way more". Fancy doesn't always pay off as we know. What Alphacool have done here is right out from the book from our old friend F. Azor

The US Government haven't big enough balls to do that. I mentioned the same in my older posts. They are all without .... You know.

Hmmm. Hope Nvidia have enough access to GDDR6 vram also for graphics cards outside China. I expect Nvidia, TSMC, Samsung and Micron is quite happy with the decision done by the U.S Government. More is more... Isn't it? Btw... Are nvidia alloved to sell cards with GDDR6X vram to the Chinese AI market? Hmmm Nvidia rushes to deliver modified AI GPU chips to China customers, allegedly places 'Super Hot Run' priority order with TSMC Perhaps, now that Nvidia's H20, L20, and L2 GPUs offer lower performance than their counterparts aimed at the U.S. and Europe, Nvidia's China customers need more of China-specific GPUs to achieve desired performance levels. What exactly TSMC is set to produce for Nvidia is something that remains to be seen. Nvidia's rumored lineup of AI and HPC GPUs aimed at Chinese market includes the HGX H20 GPU (SXM card, GH100 silicon, 96 GB HBM3 memory), L20 (PCIe card, AD102 silicon, 48 GB GDDR6 memory), and L2 (PCIe card, AD104 silicon, 24 GB GDDR6 memory) and all of them use existing silicon.

I wonder what Igor did with the review unit he got. I also posted in the thread he created after the review (Yup, fanboys is weird people - they don't accept the truth or the facts). Afterwards he had to temporarily close the thread until he can veryfy what he did wrong. Test: Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Fan - the biggest disappointment of the year Undvik = Avoid in English (Yp, I also speak Svedish).

It's all about innovation bro Fox. Or better say lack of it. This nicely sum up today's tech world..... From 1:30 and please see the whole video. 06:54 - What innovation actually means in 2023

This one? SP109. But sadly no pict of MC SP. You could of course ask him.

An older article. But the reality is still true. The in-house oc'ers/elite/+ their best friends will always get an huge advantage. Getting free top binned HW/HW sharing isn't their only advantage... Backdoor to everything you wish is only for the few. The choosen one's @Mr. Fox The dirty business behind the Hwbot Competitions – A field report | Editorial https://www.igorslab.de/das-schmutzige-geschaeft-hinter-den-hwbot-competitions-ein-erfahrungsbericht-als-editorial/3/ Third, and probably most importantly, the rule change opens a backdoor where each motherboard manufacturer can now provide their sponsored overclockers with a special, tweaked BIOS that does not have to be public at the time of use. Only at the end of the stage, when the best results are uploaded, does the BIOS have to be available in the forum thread. This means that all other participants who are not sponsored by motherboard manufacturers and only have access to public BIOS versions will never have the chance to use this much better BIOS for the Competition Stage. Many of us tried several times to explain this problem to the moderators, but were dismissed as overdramatic and lazy.

They looks nice but follow the tech trend. Looks over performance. Or design over functionality. I'll continue with my Noctua/EK high pressure fans. Not so fancy but they are reliable, ok'ish regarding sound level and offer great performance. I don't need it to look fancy. It seems Hwbot don't like that you change mem settings with software for their Hwbot cups. Ok for the leaderboard but not for their HW cups. Here is another failure from Hw/design engineers. I would never use something stupid/ugly like this 12VHPWR adapter. Tempted to buy it bro @electrosoft?😀 Akasa Releases 12VHPWR to PCIe Power Converters Including L-Shaped Adapter Published 12 hours ago by Hilbert Hagedoorn 3 It could prevent the bend. Akasa has introduced two new products as of December 11, 2023. These include a unique L-shaped adapter and a cable type, both designed to convert a 12VHPWR connector to three PCI Express 8(6+2)pin connections. The announcement marks an expansion in Akasa's product line, focusing on power conversion solutions for graphics cards and PC builds. The first product, named "G-Nexus P24," is an adapter that transforms a 12VHPWR connector from a graphics card to a standard PCI Express 8(6+2)pin format. This adapter is distinctive for integrating three PCI Express 8(6+2)pin connections in an L-shaped design, facilitating improved cable management, especially in small cases where space around the connector is limited.

If they need to fix loads of broken stuff all the time.... They should never ever have released the software in first place. Lack of QC is one of the main reasons. People/workers who do such tasks cost money. If you can't pay for it then let it be (don't release it). You can't even trust huge companies as etc Google/Alphabet. And even if you pay for their services they'll screw you. From the link I posted below.... Update December 10, 2023 9:55 a.m Although Google has now provided affected users with a “ solution ” in the form of a recovery tool, this does not seem to help every user recover their lost files. The reason for this is obvious: Google explained at the end of November that the data loss only affected local changes that had not yet been synchronized with the cloud. As a result, the data never reached Google servers. So no recovery is possible there either. The recovery tool provided by Google with version 85.0.13.0 of the Google Drive desktop client for Windows and macOS is an attempt to restore data locally from users' hard drives. However, if the associated memory areas have already been completely or partially overwritten , the tool is of no help. Affected users reacted visibly angrily in Google's support forum. In particular, those users who have paid for a paid storage expansion complain about data losses of sometimes more than a terabyte , which are now likely to remain irreversible. Google has provided instructions for using the recovery tool in a separate support article . There are also download links for the required version of the Drive for Desktop app. Cloud storage: Data loss from Google Drive will probably remain irreversible in some cases computerbase.de Why on earth offer this type services if they can't do it right? @Rage Set You can only trust yourself. Not the trash companies that offer everything, but fail to deliver. And there is many other reasons also to avoid Cloud storage from etc Google.

The Jedec organization prepares for the next gen thinner Jokeboks. Thinner has to be better🤮 Isn't it @ryan @Mr. Fox And with thinner chassis you can save a lot on the copper for the cooling.

How is it even possible offer such a piece of trash with so many bugs/issues? See the very long list of fixes. Almost nothing have worked properly with this software from what I can see. And be you sure. The bug list will increase and more fixes will be needed. Then fixes to fix the previous fixes. With their track records (on Microsoft level) this bloatware won't be fully fixed.
