I flashed the new bios once I got the board. Both newer Apex boards is good (White and black). A lot better than the Z690 Apex who capped out at 7200. The best part with the Encore is the black color. I put 8000 for my small 2x16GB 7200 sticks. It seems it works quite ok’ish because it works very well in Y-cruncher. Now above 425W with this power virus🙄 Oh'weel, haven't time fiddle much with the ram. Have no time for that now. But I use 1.40 IVR TX, 1.431V IMC and Auto for the SA. The sticks run at 1.46 with 262xxx tREFI. Mind you, I use only a fan to cool the memory sticks. No WB for the sticks so not the best cooling for higher voltage and clocks. I will test out more when I have more time.... https://hwbot.org/submission/5390752_papusan_y_cruncher___pi_1b_core_i9_14900k_14sec_979ms

Imagine you buy the card then test it. A couple of days later it fails or it fails first time you put it in your pc. You are on the mercy on help from the seller. And the sell also don't got an warrranty so you two need to fix a deal to reduce costs/loss. Who will fully pay for the problems forwards? Or right after you got it? And what if the HW works ok the first two weeks then you run into problems? $3800 USD is still a lot money even if you got unnecessary hardware you didn't need inluded in the deal. Not all deals is as good as you think. But all can be lucky. Or the opposite. This is normally not a problem for me... I often buy a lot used old stuff but very cheap so the loss won't be huge. I can easly live with a loss of 30-80$ on used items. But ++2.5K$ down the drain would be much harder to swallow.

There is no point check Galax warranty. He said there is no warranty because he got it from China so just use it as is. And if I want buy used parts I don't buy not needed parts I need to sell back in the used market to grab back my money.

$3800 USD ? That's more expensive than the 4090 Matrix in limited samples🥴 Yep, a good bin but sub $1000 more than MSRP in many regions. Pay to play, LOOL From the link... P.S. Anyone wondering, there's virtually a highly scarce and non existent market in this country for enthusiast hardware hence the price. So if you buy from certain countries you should pay huge premium for used items? Hmmm.

Thanks..... And here we go brother Fox. The cancer compadres do it big in latest Steam Survey, LOOOL Latest Steam survey sees AMD and Windows 11 crash as a new top language appears techspot.com One of the biggest (but not the biggest) changes last month was in the operating system section. Almost 40% of participants preferred Windows 11 in August's survey, but Microsoft's latest OS fell 1.79% a month later and has now crashed by a massive 6.9%. Windows 10, meanwhile, is up 7.61% for an overall total share of 65%. It seems the Redmond company's quest to get everyone onto Windows 11 needs an extra push. Edit. Yup, 4x8pins would be fantastic.... But Nvidia and their board partners don't like increased costs. Thanks for the heads-up 🙂 No new driver that can fix this? https://videocardz.com/driver/intel-arc-iris-graphics-31-0-101-4952 Fine wine???? Yep, it works that way if the release drivers was bad. Intel Fine Wine: Big performance gains for Arc GPUs one year after release videocardz.com

Thanks for the testing. What with cancer driver install versus NVCleanStall modding on same exact OS? Or did you test the different driver install on same OS? Nvidia only want to give you the bare minimum with the SUPER refresh... . For the RTX 4080 SUPER, this implies a 320W TDP, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is expected to feature a 285W TDP. The only exception is the RTX 4070 SUPER, which would see a 20W increase in power. What's the problem give the 4080 SUPER 400W TDP and slight bump in voltage to utilize higher TDP? https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-4070ti-4070-super-gpus-rumored-to-require-320-285-220w-power Btw. I put in my 14900K. Not a lottery winner. 102P and 80P for the E-cpores. Oh'well it's what it is. The 14900KS is probably out middle/late January if I bother spend more money. Some testing with the 14900K. https://hwbot.org/submission/5388367_papusan_y_cruncher___pi_1b_core_i9_14900k_15sec_339ms Still having black screen / 100% fan issue after switching to 1.1 180° adapter Had problems with the black screen / 100% fan issue so i ordered a 1.1 version of the 180 angled adapter, received it 2 weeks ago. All has been working well for 2 weeks but i just had another black screen / 100% fan again today quickly after launching a game. 90' 12HVPWR cable not compatible with EKWB blocks

Cablemod continue offer high quality 12VHPWR cables/connectors. On top the Cablemod and on the bottom you see the vanilla Nvidia cable.... Yup... Cablemod products can't be any worse than the stock cables that follow the GPU's. Again where is the QC? Shuffled down the drain/toilet to cut costs? If they can't see that their cables/connectors are bent/ broken in their QC you can't expect that they know if their custom cables/adapters fits the cards they are meant to be used with.

Thanks. That would be great. Real all Black Asus "bench" Crocs. Remember Crocs can be used everywhere bro Electro🤩 Run and buy. About time you get a pair now🤩 And all black. Not Apple white.

Thanks bro. Still not determined that. I lack everything of parts here + the cost increase due where I live (long shipping time + taxes). And I have only my pc parts for a few months before I jump on new. No one here want to buy almost new processors on the used market that is out of warranty. The Norwegian shop I normally used also stopped with binned Cpu's. No one will pay for it. Norway ain't the best place for pc enthusiasts. Most we can buy here is vanilla trash. If you want etc some ok thermal pads or in some thickness you need. Nothing to find here. You need order it outside Norway and then wait 4-5 week to get it. And it won't get cheap when it reach Papusan's plaza. 30-40% price increase over what you others have to pay for it. Nice build brother. But why do you really need 20Ft tubes? Because you have put away the chiller in a corner to reduce noise?

For the pict lover @electrosoft Yup, all black brother. Can't get enough of black🤪 But I hate the dreaded "all black" winter dark here up in the inhospitably cold North. Can't have it all☹️

GTX 1070 Strix.... Probably the last benchmarks I'll do with my i9-13900K and Z690 Apex.

Always smart with at least one pump that can serve as backup if 4 of the other pumps go to hardware heaven, HaHa

Yup, this is the drawback with 100C as temp target 24/7/365. As Trevis North (Dell Alienware's lead thermal engineer)say... <they tune the cooling for 100C for all their Jokebooks. If the hw run 80C the thermal paste will last longer. But that would be out of scope for some thermal engineers. They are hired to cut cost... Not make the best thermal solutions!

Not sure if this is fixed or can be fixed... An Odd Limitation For now, the only graphics cards that can handle a 7680x2160 resolution at a refresh rate of 240 Hz with Samsung's curved 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 are AMD's Radeon RX 7000-series that support a DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR 13.5 (and offering a 54 Gbit/s of bandwidth). Meanwhile, the review by QuasarZone indicates that AMD's Radeon RX 7000-series boards can also support 7680x2160 at 240 Hz using HDMI 2.1 when used with a proper 48G cable. By contrast, neither Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs nor Intel's Arc A700-series GPUs could support this resolution at this refresh rate using any kind of connection, according to QuasarZone. Such a limitation is very odd, and its reasons are unknown. However, there could be restrictions in Intel and Nvidia GPU display pipelines or certain limitations in firmware or software.

Nothing different than what he puking out in Hardware Unboxed YouTube videos. Remember Steve Walton was our old NBR friend Hmscott's (Scott Herkelman) favorite tech editor in the older days (due his big love love for AMDs products). And AMD offer products for the mainstream consumers... so....

Greed works. Always. And it seems all main AIB partners is equal or even more greedy than Nvidia itself when they push their 4090 Skus over to the Chineese market for more profits😟 Also scalpers are picking up some OF THE RTX 4090s with a view to reselling them in the Chinese market. ONCE AGAIN WILL THE GAMERS SUFFERS FROM GREED.

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
