What is a day without smoke? Is it tempting bro @electrosoft ? I mean put in your new replacement CM adaper. I expect you know what to do if the Gpu fans suddenly ramping up without a reason. 41 minutes ago 4090 using 120deg adapter: burnt connector

I don’t think it will help the Ryzen processors. But try with only 8 or less cores and see if the graphics score increase.

Newer faster GPUs don't scale as well in performance on lower resolutions (benchmarks). Probably also in games.

Because the cpu run with less cores. You loose graphics score and total score with more cores running. For best total score you nneed disable a few baby cores on 13900K. And for higer graphics scores you have to disable even more cores but this will hamper the total score. Welcome to todays modern tech world.

The best of both worlds. Proper designed PCB and dual 12VHPWR connectors(less smoke&fire and less broken PCBs). From today. Expect more similar videos forwards with spotlight on Gigabyte and cracked PCBs. Gigabut bro @Mr. Fox?

I expected so. And bro Fox is spot on. And the Intel chipset driver isn't an real driver. If everything is ok and no yellow exclamation mark is shown in Device Manager then you really don't need to do anything. Loads of people got bricked machines (no post and they had to re-install the OS) after ugrading to this driver.

What chipset version?

Yep, I know. That's why I have sixtuple multi-boot setup on my desktop. 3xWin10, 1xWin7, 1xWin8.1 and Win11. And I will add the 7th OS on my desktop for gaming when I get a new NVMe ssd. No need for all this on my Clevo laptop. But I prefer the old Win 1809 LTSC version as main OS. And I have loads of older cards I enjoy have fun with, so... One for all, doesn't fits all needs. The time with one great OS that managed everything is gone.

Or just use Win 10 (1809 - 2021) LTSC. Then he can update to whatever new build/CU patches without being forced into Win 11. This OS version have soon been running 4 years and without any interrupt. Haven't even needed use the Macrium backup.

+320$ for only one single available PCIe 8pin connector you may not even can use. What a waste of metal and components and engineering. What a flawed/awful PSU design. Maybe Asus want 320$ extra for a second PCIE 8pin connector so you can power up an old fashion GPU? Or happy with +80$ premium? People with SFX needs will often buy the cheaper less powerful graphics cards that often come with a single 8-pin GPU power connector. And this PSU is barely usable for what it was meant for. And whats wrong with this article bro @Mr. Fox? One good hint for you... Tweaktown's stupid editor that gave this PSU a golden 99% rank for features this PSU don't have. Yep this editor is either damn stupid or have never touched or seen a good PSU ever before in his whole life. You can't even use this 850W PSU for anything outside a nvidia GPU that have the 12VHPWR connector. Yep, many custom 4000 series Nvidia cards + newest AMD cards will use the old 8-pin connector. You can't do that with this PSU because You'll need the lonely 8pin connector to power up the MB. And what if you need the single 8-pin to power up the MB if you have a GPU with 12VHPWR connector... You won't get any 8 pin connectors at all. Only the few small sata/molex connctors. Nice Where is the fantastic features thats worth a score of 99% in this review?

Make a backup and run Autoruns as adm and see if there is services/processes you can disable. You find link to the software in my profile https://notebooktalk.net/profile/79-papusan/?tab=field_core_pfield_1 And always download the Portable version if that option is available.

Got a nice find. All info I have seen about this XFX 7970 card say you can't adjust the voltage. And nothing show up in new and older MSI Afterburner or Evga software as expected. Voltage just greyed out. But this Asus GPU Tweak tool you can increase voltage from 1.213 up to 1.281 for this old AMD card🙂 This means I can even have more fun with this old AMD card now😎 https://hwbot.org/submission/5291158_papusan_3dmark05_radeon_hd_7970_90088_marks?recalculate=true

Almost as timestamp, LOOL My Cablemod 180 Adapter on a 4090 TUF after 2.5 months of use... 9 days later... Mine finally started to melt too, been 3 months with the 180 adapter... 4000 series haven't 4080Ti so the new 4080 Super will be the old xx80Ti model branding. 3080Ti vs 3090 was minor in difference. You think this will be the new 4080Ti? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4080-ti.c3887 If they do it this way they can continue with 4090 at 1600$. But if the rumors above was correct (20% performance increase that won't match the increased cuda cores above the 4080). Techpowerups info rumors suggest +44% more cuda cores. 14080 vs 9728 cores. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Gets a Huge Price Cut in Europe, Now Available for Less than €800 GPU Shipments Continued To Decline In Q1 2023: NVIDIA at 84%, AMD at 12%, Intel at 4% Market Share

Thanks. What with the 4080 Super? Will it be 1199$ and close to 4090 performance, same as 3080Ti vs 3090? Or will Nvidia continue and brand it 4080Ti? Or and will they put an higher price tag for this SKU? AMD 7970 - 3DM 2001 https://hwbot.org/submission/5290219_papusan_3dmark2001_se_radeon_hd_7970_178411_marks?recalculate=true Fun part bro Fox. If the GPU overclock is too high with the older AMD cards the pc will freeze and the Cpu run full speed. With older nvidia card the bench just blink out in nothing and the Cpu will run normal. In short just start up the bench again without the need for re-start. I'm not very happy with how the older AMD cards works and their drivers.

And what are your take on this? Btw. Galxax seems to adjusting prices. But in Asia and not for the whole stack of cards. I wonder why they make the big change for the 4080 (-140$). GALAX China reportedly lowers the price for select GeForce RTX GPUs, 4080 to be up to $140 cheaper

Yep, it looks like 4080 Super will get closer to 4090 performance (screw those 4090 buyers that paid +$400 in price premium). Looks like Nvidia prefer the Super branding over Ti. And 3080Ti vs 3090 performance was quite close. Hence they need the 4090 Super to be able to sell xx90 cards. In the end... Maybe the better custom 4090 Super AIC cards will land around 2300$. Some maybe even 2400$. Its amusing you have to pay 66% more for maybe 20% higher performance (4090 Super vs 4080 Super) so nothing new here. Both SKUs got one price tier up from previous gen cards. The Super cards should never have existed and the new 4090 Super should have been branded Titan.

@VasudevMaybe add this video in OP post. Der8auer Rants About Misleading W/mK Marketing (Thermal Conductivity)

What rubs me hard the wrong way.... I haven't seen many melted cables/adapters from the OEM or the pigtail cables from the 4090 package the last months (one or two cases I think the last 5 weeks). Remember etc CableMod have sold around 55.000 units. But 4090 more likely sold in the 300-500.000 cards now. And the nvidia 12VHPWR connectors is mostly soldered on all 4000 series cards. So well over 1 mill cards is already sold. So see it this way... CableMods new modern adapers go into the whole stack of the different 4000 series cards. Not only for the 4090s. Many want them due design/and because they have small cute PC boxes (you can't even lock the chassis door due the space the 12VHPWR cable need). And be you sure.... If many of the OEM cables or the Nvidia pigtail mess melting/burn up... We would have seen it on etc Reddit. And you don't find them there only the CableMods adapters that melt up in fire and smoke. Yep, not everyone will tell about their burned up cards on forums/social media, but we should at least have seen some cases if it was a major problem also with the OEM cables/pigtail box adapters. More of same messed up from todays tech world.... This is only rumors... Now its the xx90 cards turn to get the price hike the lower end SKUs got when they launced. 25% up for 10% higher performance. Of course Nvidia won't increase the prices for the other Super SKUs. They just price the top end SKU up $400. Then 8 months later we will get 5090, same as for the 3090Ti. https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/rtx-4000-super-leaked-specs Edit. Forgot. Congrats with the new screen bro @tps3443 🙂

HaHa. So Cablemod have now made the new fire-adapter avaiable for their Store? Could be a better choice if they have improved their QC on newest products. See bolded text. I think I'll stick with the PSU manufacturers own 12VHPWR cable. And they are pretty enough for me. And with a big black box you shouldn't be afraid for the bending cable requirements. Yep, isn't it nice with a big PC chassis?😀 With a small box you risk have to buy those new modern toy adapters to be able to connect the power cables to your nice new GPU. Yep, I'll stick to the best from both worlds😁

Where is the quality control? This is todays normal.... QC issues = CableMod and AMD. I wonder how many got melted connectors/too high voltage drop due bad quality/or their QC issues. A seemingly nice looking adapter can have inbuilt issues that willl pop up and bite you later. Not sure whats best between immediate fire or getting a ticking bomb. What you prefer bro @electrosoft?😎 Ticking bomb, so you can have a nice looking adaper in your pc box a few months forwards? Issues with 40 Series Card disconnecting and Angled Adapter (GPU Disconnects) We both have found that removing the angled adapter helped us und we both are going a few days without the issue, usually it would happen more then once in 3 hours.

Dell Australia found guilty in federal court of deceptive sales practices Ordered to refund monitor purchases, with other possible penalties to follow The company also said that it is considering refunding customers "with interest" to make up for its blunder and is taking measures regarding its pricing procedures to ensure that the mistake doesn't happen again. Dell said a pricing mistake on the website was to blame, which was its defense when the ACCC filed its lawsuit last November.

Sum up: Finally had some time check after reviews. The little 750W SFX I bought in the used market a few weekes ago is quite good. And works perfectly as second PSU for powering more internal peripherals and my older GPUs when the HOF is disconnected from the black box. Happy with the purchase. Everyone should buy a big enough big box. Highly recommended😀 Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Power Supply Review Performance As this is a small factor power supply, there will always be some limitations if you directly compare it to standard full-sized (standard) models. Put simply, there’s only so much performance you can cram in a space as small as this. Despite that fact, however, Cooler Master has still done a really remarkably job here. Not only did this pretty much easily handle all of the tests we threw at it, but in many instances, it did remarkably better than it had any expectation to. The clear highlights come in the fact that this nearly achieves a platinum efficiency level, and providing some of the lowest ripple results we have seen from a small factor design, Cooler Master has packed a lot of punch in this small package!

And don't update. See bolded text below. Newer doesn't always mean better. Btw. Did you test out some claims... They got back Cpu performance with Nvidia's latest drivers. But I doub't that being real for the Cpu.
