Hi. Thanks. The board is in transit and need one more week to arrive. But what bios version did you test with? The release bios or the last beta? If so, any difference between them? Or is Asus firmware release cand and beta's still ridled with bugs?

I'm afraid I'll need use toilet paper. Norway as you know is an high cost country. The massive use of such wipes would ruin my personal economy. Heavy usage for cleanup need other solutions.

MSI Launches Project Zero Motherboards With Hidden Connectors MSI has finally listed the company's Project Zero motherboards with hidden connectors. Like Asus DIY-APE and Gigabyte Project Stealth, MSI's Project Zero essentially moves all the onboard connectors to the back of the motherboard to facilitate cable management and for a tidier aesthetic. And Apple/Dell/alienware's engineers will finally get confirmed they was correct all time regarding proprietary solutions.... Ready for the future AND NEW PUSH FOR EVEN HIGHER E-WASTE? @Mr. Fox @Talon @Rage Set++++ Dell will become the little boy in this mess when every HW company finds their own way of implementing and use new proprietary tech. And Apple needs some tough thinking to find where they stands vs their competitors from Windows land. This will be Ugly. Electronic waste | wikipedia.com

Is this greed or just fake rumors? One thing for sure... Nvidia will do everything they can to keep up ugly high prices as long as possible.

Asus as well as other brands shouldn’t use the worst chips for their flagship products. That’s totally wrong. You pay massive premium for their best products and get chips from the bottom barrel isn’t great. Rather wait throw it out if there is shortage of the better chips/ICs. That’s on Asus and the rest of the greedy companies. They need to stop with this.

I mean 1060 also sold in loads. They have been on top in Steam a long time. Just sad see Asus put up the middle finger for their best 1070 OC card and gave some of them Micron. Remember Asus put out many different SKUs of same tier. At least give their overpriced Strix OC cards the best vram. But nope. It's Asus @Mr. Fox🤔 Because only Micron can offer GDDR6X. Nvidia partnered with Micron for their high end SKUs in 3000 and 4000 series. Edit. https://videocardz.com/newz/micron-24-gbps-gddr6x-memory-for-geforce-rtx-40-series-is-now-in-production

More picture for the pict lover @electrosoft😀 I couldn't resist due it's price. I bought an 1060 card un-seen and I didn't even ask for the brand model when I clicked the buy button. And guess what I got.... Asus 1060 Strix O6GB. And with Samsung vram. Damn stupids at Asus @Mr. Fox They gave their cheaper 1060 OC cards Samsung vram but put in the less wanted Micron vram for their more expensive 1070 Strix OC............ I paid $30 USD for it. Not bad. I put it into the test machine. Run a bit too hot so it need re-paste. The card is never re-pasted because I see the woid warranty sticker is still on top of one of the screws.

I can't use Linux on hwbot. So that's that.... Papusan @ HWBOT | Team PremaMod @ HWBOT

Nice. Cablemod adapter v1.1 is out and now it seems they prepare for a 1.1-v2.0, LOOL https://youtu.be/2UPdeFEy0zA?si=prmXa6sK1WH1bvMw&t=172 The new adapter v1.1 is thighter than the v1.0 burning mess but still not thight enough and will pull out 9:05

From 9:12

Yup. Only the 4090 are able to keep up it's value. We will see what happens closer to Christmas holidays. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ intel XMPs and motherboard QVLs are a useless mess. The QVL list will never be correct as long the testers (elite benchers) at the different brands continue use binned hardware in their testing and validating of firmware. Once again why use binned HW? So the brand can brag about unreliable results that are not rooted in reality. Only to sell overpriced HW. See from 10:15

Yup. And Gamers Nexus have tested their lower end SKU as 4080. Once again wasted opportunity to offer something spectacular or wonderful for the enhusiasts. Just another abortion for the gamer kids but in another design shape. The extra added fans is just an gimic and offer no value. The final conclusion... Not worth buying. The 5-Fan 'MEGA GAMER' GPU Tested: Maxsun MGG RTX So the new 4090 isn't any better than the 4080 Mega-Joke from the review above.

MSI could offer a new 4090 Lightning. But nope. They are more hunged up in gamer gears. Here's another brand that offer no value. Only disgusting prices..... RTX 4090 Five-Fan GPU RTX 4090 Launches For $1,999Oversized, overengineered, and overpriced Being a Chinese company, Maxsun makes no secret that its GeForce RTX 4090 MegaGamer OC will not be available globally. See the Grey box. Asus saw their chance with the Matrix. But this card is only meant as a pretty collector edition card sold in 2000 items at double the MSRP. So in short not an option as a new Kingpin substitute. In short. Only Galax, Asus and MSI can push out real o'cing cards... If they bother do so. Asus have failed become the new EVGA. Colorful have one variant that can compete in the Kingpin league, but very few amount cards and only for the Asian market. + they offer only custom XOC vbios and XOX software for the very few "choosen one".

If you get a Zotac 4090 card then you are screwed. Be sure you check if your prefered 4090 is supported with the EVGA boards. Not sure about the lower Nvidia SKUs. Neither do I know if every AIB models of the newest Radeon cards is supported.

If the refreshed board works as intended and you can sell the old for +600$ there is almost no downsides. Get rid of the White "Apple themed" board also have some value bro @Mr. Fox All black bro @electrosoft🤩

My older posts about dimishing returns........ Bro @jaybee83got it in with a spoon by the old man😂 Main point with tweaking is to get rid of stupid changes done by idiots. Get more performance out from it is an nice bonus. Me inside Microsoft HQ in Redmond.....

THREADRIPPER and socket longevity.…. AMD is the new iNTEL🤣 @Rage Set😬

I fix it for you🤣 More expensive... Means always better performance. Doesn't it? Exactly as newer has to be better @ryan😁 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Mr. Foxare you ready to walk over to the Red side for mooore performance? But don't expect that AMD will offer similar platform longevity as for the older AM4. If you are lucky... Maybe a second and last Cpu gen upgrade @Rage Setcan probably tell more about how long AMD will support Cpu upgrades on the Threadripper platform. AMD Launches Ryzen Threadripper 7000 - Returning to Enthusiasts And you''ll need new ram and new motherboard. Avoid OEM prebuilts because they don't offer oc'ing. AMD want 2.5 times higher price for the 24 cores chips vs Intel 13900KS, but you'll get more threads due no baby cores. China Prices for RTX 4090 Cards Double a Month Before US Sanctions Bite

Cute new names.... As etc Ti Super. What a <<<joke. Hmmm. How will this affect the shortage of 4090 ? And what with the prices? @electrosoft @Mr. Fox U.S. Govt Restricts Shipments of GeForce RTX 4090 to China, Other Countries Starting from November 16, 2023, Nvidia will be unable to ship its A100, A800, H100, H800, L40, L40S, and GeForce RTX 4090 cards and modules for AI and HPC computing to China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam without an export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security. Transferring production to Taiwan is perhaps not a problem for the vast majority of brands as the vast majority of them are headquartered in Taiwan. There is one big exception, though. Colorful, which is one of Nvidia's major customers and which happens to be one of the world's largest makers of graphics cards, only operates in China. It is possible that Nvidia will attempt to supply as many AD102 GPUs to its partner as possible in the coming weeks, though it remains to be seen how this affects the supply of GeForce RTX 4090 products in other countries. In fact, the restrictions are so severe that shipments of Nvidia's AD102 processors are also restricted, which may have an impact on the supply of GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards. U.S. to restrict shipment of NVIDIA H800 and RTX 4090 GPUs to China videocardz.com NVIDIA is now confronted with a significant challenge, particularly concerning its consumer-grade RTX 4090 series. There are numerous companies in China involved in the final packaging of these cards, and many board partners exclusively operate in this country. It’s worth noting that the new set of requirements is set to take effect in just 29 days, which means that NVIDIA has a relatively short window to address and adapt to these regulatory changes. Nvidia stock falls after US government restricts export of H800, A800, and RTX 4090 to China Nvidia's previously skyrocketing stock has fallen almost 5% following news that the US government has extended its ban on chip exports to China. Team Green will no longer be able to sell its A800 and H800 GPUs to entities within the Asian nation, and even the RTX 4090 falls under the new rules.

A better review from Techpowerup..... But yep... Intel put the standard regarding power hog😀 https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900k/23.html Maybe. But it could also mean Asus have done it for the different Asus Z790 boards. You have the Apex (their OC board). Edit. See bro @Falkentyne's post here https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-asus-strix-maximus-z790-owners-thread.1800191/post-29247975 I know what you're talking about. Bios 0036 (maximus z790 Extreme), March 15 2023, 13900k: Cinebench R23, 5.5/4.3/4.5, score=14800 Bios 1303: Score 13990.

Back to the 'Raptor refresh...... Anyone have seen this disgusting behaviour? @Mr. Fox Look at this beauty. Both from Redmond and Asus. If this is correct. Then why make these changes in the firmware? Slower than a year ago: BIOS, Windows? Mitigations? In the test of the three new K-CPUs of the 14th generation Core, the behavior was noticeable again - clearly: Core i9-14900K and Core 5-14600K were no faster in applications than their predecessors, which were released in autumn 2022 on the then current BIOS and Windows 11 were measured. Lo and behold, when the Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K were re-measured on the same current platform using the same CPUs used a year ago, they were 2 to 3 percent slower. An influence from other settings can be ruled out. The cause must be found in the BIOS, in any “mitigations” against known CPU security gaps via the microcode or via Windows updates or in Windows itself. What led to this could not be determined in such a short time, but all three old K-CPUs were run through the application course again for a perfect comparison. The new measurement results are marked “10/2023”, but the old ones from the end of 2022 are still included. Asus controls the 13th and 14th Gen differently Another noticeable feature concerns the BIOS 1303 for the Asus ROG Z790 Maximus Hero: It controls CPUs of the 13th Gen Core in the “Auto” setting for the performance limits PL1 (“Processor Base Power” = PBP = long-term limit) that is active as standard at the factory. and PL2 (“Multi Turbo Power” = MTP = short-term limit) does not start with PL1 = PL2 = Auto = 4,095 watts as before, but sets PL1 to the 253 watts specified by Intel - this value applies after 96 seconds. The new core CPUs of the 14th generation are addressed as usual - albeit outside the official specifications - with PL1 = PL2 = Auto = 4,095 watts. i9-14900K, i7-14700K & i5-14600K in the test: The last core CPUs of their kind against AMD Ryzen 7000 computerbase.com

😀😁😀 And the same will repeat once again we' see 8800 or 9000 kits, LOOL Please don't forget renew your old chair as well. To cool your wallet in the back pocket😁 Cougar's latest gaming chair comes with an integrated RGB fan

You need new ram for the new board😁 But as usual... Expect they don't come for cheap. G.Skill Shows Off DDR5-8600 RAM for Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs G.Skill didn't reveal the pricing for either the DDR5-8400 or the DDR5-8600 memory kits. Cutting-edge memory kits are never cheap so expect to pay a significant premium for them. As for availability, we should see the new Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8400 and DDR5-8600 memory kits by the end of the month.
