Tried an older gen GPU? Maybe that will play better with your old gen board. Many motherboards have difficulty with some newer GPUs. Could be that your 5090 FE played better with your motherboard.

And the scumbag is ranked 71 on hwbot.... https://hwbot.org/users/mllrkllr88 Do you trust all results posted on hwbot? Sharing is caring... Isn't it?

Probably the best for several reasons. Not sure I have seen so many org Asus tentacle meltdown Asus cards this time around. If the connector melt into the GPU, then it's nice if it's the org Asus adapter fused to the card😀 Still, I don't like the solution. I hate that stupid lille connector. Even Jonny Guru at Corsair say the connector won't stay properly connected with the card when you pass 6 months. It will loose the connection and here we go... BOOOM! Corsair explains why 12V-2x6 still needs protection despite ... The revised mechanical design is a real improvement. But it’s not a complete solution, because connectors don’t stay fully seated forever. Cable tension from routing, vibration, the weight of a stiff cable pulling at the connector, repeated insertions over time – any of these can gradually work a connector loose. A connector that clicked in perfectly when you first built your system can develop marginal contact six months later without any visible indication. The physics of partial-contact heating are identical whether it was never fully inserted or worked loose after the fact.

This become a problem because you had good contact in first place. Once removed and the connection will break and you get a problem. Cables have now become a consumable items. I mean the tiny trash called 12V-2x6. Those cannot be reused as the good old 8-pin cables. Benching the old gpu's ain't very fun anymore because you need to take out and in your new and shiny GPU if you want the newest in you rig after bench sessions. The modern cables ain't up to task. This tiny trash ruined my hobby.

Some update. Have been to my personal doctor today. Also got my epikrise from the hospital to keep home. I had stroke two places in my brain on left side. But got further info from the epikrise... I have had several small strokes in the frontallap before. I never knew that before. Very rare I have been in an mr machine the last years. So my doctor said I have been pretty damn lucky. My main problem is high bloodpressure (also one of the reasons for stoke outside my higher colestrole). They need to reduce it further. Both the bloodpressure and colestole. But each new dose medicines need to work 3-4weeks to see an effect. Not fun sit here with high bloodpressure and know the risk is still high for a possibel second stroke. But the medicines need to start work properly before they can or should increase doses. The bad coletrole need to be pushed down to 1.4-1.8 if you have had stroke. So here I sit waiting yet another 3-4 weeks to see if things may be better😟 As well, forbidden to drive a car the next +3 months. Yup, fun times. I just love it!

Hi, everyone. Back from the hospital but I'm still not in good shape as before. It will take some time. Slower talking and the right hand (mouse hand) not exactly where it should be. But hopefully it will be better. Stroke is and have been a terrifying experience. And it scares me. Yep, I am really scared this illness. It takes life and can push you into a wheelchair without you notice it where you can't speak or hear. Not even move yourself. Still a small chance to get second one within the next 3 months. After that a bigger chance to get on live again. I was very lucky as the doctors said, not Being Hit harder. Medication for this shit will help me move forward. And I'll probably have to take it for the rest of my life. And thank you all you good friends for the kind and warming words🙂 Intel Nova Lake Samples Reportedly Begin Shipping With Huge Multi-Core Gains

Thanks. Yup, i had a stroke. The mr machine showed that. I need to stay longer now in the hospital and take more tests and the doctors need to find a medicine I need to take rest of my life😢

Fun times. Half the day in the hospital and need to stay here. At the hospital now. The doctors suspect drip(transient/mini stroke). Have to stay here and get blood thinners . Also have to do a CT scan tonight/night and then an MR tomorrow. Have to stay under observation and care. Bad lungs ain't enough 😥

Hmmm. HB couldn't test the new cable for 24 hours to test out Asus claims. This due expensive electricity cost in Cyprus. 1KWh cost around half a Euro. And 600W load x 24 hours would mean about $15. Yet he couldn't afford it. 10 min test is an joke. Why bother at all🤫 And Corsair fail as well.... The CORSAIR ThermalProtect cable is put to the test: can it really prevent RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 cards from overheating? Yup, nothing so far can fully avoid the disaster Nvidia created with the choice of stupidity. The only good to say about the Yellow MSI disaster... 8 pins connectors on the opposite side of the cable so you won't fry (the connectors on) your PSU😀

Windows 11 is the most modern, secure, and updated Windows ever—at least that’s what Microsoft keeps saying... Running on 30 years old code, LOL @Mr. Fox In short... Why make the UI/GUI worse when the old works so good?🤔 Windows 11 still runs on code from the 1990s, Microsoft admits

Nice. Can this be real?

Until May 3 for those interested

Mark Zuckerberg says they will lay off 8,000 Meta employees to justify the $145 billion increase in AI investment Every technology company is completely focused on AI and allocates a large part of its investments there. NVIDIA admits: "AI is more expensive than workers, but companies ignore it," so why are there so many layoffs? The use of AI has spread everywhere, and companies and individuals are increasingly using it in their daily lives. The proportion of people using it at work has skyrocketed in recent years

Already too late and too little..... Microsoft admits Windows 11 lost its way, Nadella pledges to "win back fans" Microsoft built Windows 11 around web wrappers and Electron apps. Now it's trying to undo that.

Hogwarts Legacy is free to claim on Epic Games Store until May 3 Warner Bros. Games and Epic Games Store are offering Hogwarts Legacy as a free PC game for a limited time. The base game is listed with a 100% discount, reducing the regular $59.99 price to free. Source: Epic Games Store

And it continue @Mr. Fox Microsoft need hire new engineers. AI can't fix it. Only stupid think so. Windows 11's April update is now breaking third-party backup apps Windows 11 update KB5083769 is causing software failures with several backup programs. Microsoft hasn't released a fix yet.

The Tax lottery continue in the US. Is this ok @Mr. Fox? At least you get cheaper Whiskey from the Great Britain. No extra tax money for this "KING DEAL" going this to the US government. Aka less money will be shuffled back to the billionairs @electrosoft🤔 That has to be the good thing about this. "In honor of the King and Queen of Great Britain, who have just left the White House, I will remove the tariffs and restrictions on whiskey," Trump wrote in the post. Trump removes whiskey tariffs after royal couple visit – The King and Queen made me do something that no one else could make me do, almost without asking!, Trump writes on Truth Social Thursday afternoon. Jup, the Joke is real. Directly from the source.

Hmmm. Galax has left the PC market. Same did EVGA in the days. Thank's Nvidia for your effort to support gamers/tech enthusiasts and the oc'rs community. GALAX, Creators of Iconic HOF Graphics Cards, Exits PC Business After 30 Years, Palit Takes Over Business & All RMA Support GALAX Is No More, Graphics Card & PC Brand Exits The Industry With Palit Taking Over Control Palit Consolidates Galax Brand Operations and Closes Hong Kong Office Palit has confirmed a significant shift in its brand strategy, with the Galax graphics card brand now being repositioned to focus primarily on the Chinese market. As of April 1, 2026, Galax has been fully integrated into the Palit Group’s internal operations, effectively ending its role as a widely distributed global GPU brand. The change could mean that Galax-branded GeForce RTX graphics cards will no longer be commonly available in international markets. With the brand’s strategic shift, it remains unclear whether the HOF series will continue in its current form or be adapted for the Chinese market. US/global China first. Exactly as Nvidia with Jensen wants.

Microsoft is ruining their operating system because their focus is mostly on low power trashbooks and phone processors. They can't seems to understand the difference between Jokebooks and powerful desktops. The arm and power saving aera has to stop. Before it's too late. Windows 11 is secretly throttling your apps - here's how to catch it Windows 11 quietly slows background apps to save power. It's easy to find throttled processes, and sometimes, it's better to take back control of your CPU. Windows 11 throttles background apps to save power, and it's not always right about which ones deserve it. Power Throttling at the system level and Efficiency Mode per process in Task Manager handle this. With Windows version 25H2, both have gotten more aggressive, even on desktops that aren't on battery. Yup, everything is all about trashbooks and power savings. When will they start understand that most people want a working and powerful pc instead of a pc that's always on standby? Is a pc meant to be off all time bro @Mr. Fox?🤔 Microsoft quietly improved Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 Modern Standby Microsoft has new default settings for Modern Standby and S3. There are also several improvements under the hood on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2.

Hmmm. May I smell coming inflation in the US ? Yup, I think so.
