He have probably forgot what he talked about in the earlier days😎 Maybe we all take wrong... GPUs is all too cheap nowadays. They should have costed at least the double. Or the triple of today🙂 Resurfaced Video Shows Young Jensen Huang Promising ’Inexpensive' GPUs

NVidia, AMD & Intel at CES 2023 - LIES and more LIES Todays word - GREED... Overclocking banned due greed and lack of willingness (will). Amd lock down their more expensive flagship Ryzen gamer kid chips for oc'ing while Intel lock out their non K chips from overclocking. Not so sure whats worst from those two stupids but AMD probably take the whole cake with their non overclockable X3D chips. RIP, Overclockable Intel Non-K Chips, We Hardly Knew Ye tomshardware.com Intel blocks overclocking on locked chips by...doing nothing. In a development sure to disappoint enthusiasts, it turns out that Intel's 'locked' Non-K 13th-Gen Raptor Lake models are not overclockable like the previous-gen Alder Lake chips. We verified that the previous-gen non-K chips can still be overclocked, but unfortunately, the newer 13th-Gen models cannot. According to our industry contacts, it doesn't look like the situation will change any time soon. Regarding greed and stupidity... Apple ain't far away from how Intel and AMD. They take greed to another level.... TRADE IN? Apple will offer you $970 for a $52,000 Mac Pro Cheese grater techspot.com David Imel, a researcher for tech YouTube channel Marques Brownlee, tweeted that they tried pricing the $52,199 Mac Pros at the company's office to determine their trade-in value. The machines can still be purchased from Apple's website, complete with Intel Xeon W processors and dual Radeon Pro W6800X graphics, for the same price, so one would expect Apple to offer a fair amount of that money for trade-ins. Sadly, the company thinks $970 is a fair amount. Isnt it cute... You can order the Apple's Cheese grater today and trade it in tomorrow for a fraction of the price you paid. This even if you never opened the package and tested the fancy Cheese grater. This just show how much todays tech is worth 🙂

I know, but the crippling of max power consumption continue. Last year well above 320W. Now it will be 250W. What with next years laptop models? 200W? The newest USB PD Revision 3.1 specification offer up to 240W of power over full featured USB Type-C® cable and connector. This is the max and the OEMs will never allow this amount sustained high power from the adapter for laptops. So 200w it will be. Or even down to 180W with peaks up to 200W Aka lower max power cosumption than what the GPU in my Clevo laptop consume by itself. And this for the whole Jokebook. Yep, sad times being an laptop jockey... The crippling trend roll faster and faster.

And we will most likely never know how many cables and GPU's they have replaced😎 And I hope this one don't own the 4090. And if he had, I'm sure he would never post pict of his fried cable/connector on reddit if the same happened to him, LOOL And to make it complete. Cable mod offer dual chance to not put in the cable fully seated in the GPU connector. You can reduce the cable bend with the fancy 90 degrees adaper but still fry your shiny 4090😀

Seems Nvidia will go the laptop route for RTX 4060Ti and castrate the TGP. Why do the same for the desktop cards? The same for 4070. There have been rumors regarding Nvidia reportedly pushing the power envelope of the RTX 4070 down to 200 W from 250W. Surprisingly-low RTX 4060 Ti TDP figure could see the GPU consume much less power than the RTX 3060 Ti

Microsoft's system requirements for running Win 11 downplayed by MSI, LOOL Researcher Claims Windows 11 Secure Boot Is Broken On Hundreds Of MSI Motherboards Among the requirements for installing Windows 11 are two security features: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 and Secure Boot. As we’ve documented before, it’s possible to sidestep these requirements and force a Windows 11 install or upgrade anyway. What a kick in the asss, HaHa https://hwbot.org/submission/5175686_papusan_hwbot_x265_benchmark___4k_core_2_quad_q9000_1.22_fps https://hwbot.org/submission/5175683_papusan_hwbot_x265_benchmark___1080p_core_2_quad_q9000_5.08_fps

Still no need to cripple the system down to 250W. They can use hybrid mode (steal needed power from the battery) and 330W power bricks is not utilized. They are good for above 400W peak load and +350w in sustained load. Why castrate the laptops at 250W? A nice way to cut on cooling cost and push you over on next HW refresh.

LOOL and it continue. Either people download the latest and greatest Intel Chipset drivers on Asus own official driver support page or in the driver thread in Asus forum..... They all continue install bugged drivers with a nice surprise as boot errors. And the more warnings you put out in the forum thread, the more they want to download and install, HaHa https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?131838-DRIVERS-Intel-Chipset-MEI-VMD-(6xx-7xx)/page2 Edit. Still not a single world record worth with 13900KS.

I had exactly 1200 in CBR23 but the Benchmate software screwed up (the normal on older HW) so I couldn't post it on the bot. We can continue talk about screw up. Corsair wanted to cater the new and modern thin and slimy but forgot that PSUs engineerd for 2023 should really have an 12VHPWR connector as an option. What is unique with cut on costs? The most unique aspect of this PSU lineup is that instead of having the connectors on the front, they are moved to the side. It begs to question if Corsair is on to something with its new designs & if this is the beginning of a "shift" in designing power supplies by other companies. Corsair hasn't used the Gen5 '12VHPWR' connector on the SHIFT PSUs and that may have to do with the overall clearance provided at the side of the PSU. As we know, the 12VHPWR connector needs around 35 mm of clearance before it can be bent, and most mATX or even ATX cases don't have that sort of room on the sides. As such, Corsair may have selected to go with standard 8-pin connectors that can be fed to a 12VHPWR adapter. I had this laptop a couple of months many years ago. Then sold it. Now the man is dead, so back it went. Not the nicest way to get it back. I will install a newer Win 10 version on it then give it to my mother-in-law. She have an very old laptop with an Intel Celeron 1007U and an small wimpy 15 inch display. That Celeron chips is covered with loads of Norwegian flags on the Hwbot leadeboard🙂 This one will better for her due the bigger screen size. And I have doubled the ram to 8GB. The laptop have never been updated since I helped install 1809 in early 2019. No patch for the OS or Windows Defender. Nothing, and still clean 4 years later🙂 Imagine this... +4 years old OS without getting any OS patches from Redmond, No patches for the Cpu or Gpu from Intel or Nvidia to fix well known vulnerabilities. And no working antivirus software. This old machine have run smoth without a hitch.

Everything Microsoft put they hands on will turn into a disaster. How is this possible @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix ? The culture at Micosoft is rotten and the egineers just foolow common pratice... Never test own products. Microsoft Defender update kills Start Menu shortcuts and program files on Windows "Defender really is the Gift that keeps on giving!" Facepalm: Microsoft Defender should provide plenty of security features for Windows-based enterprises and home customers. Some of those features, however, are turning against users and making system administrators regret yet another unlucky Friday the 13th. As tradition dictates, Friday 13th was a rather unlucky day for Windows users and system administrators worldwide. According to multiple reports, this past Friday Microsoft Defender for Endpoint turned into a shortcut and file "killer." That fateful day, the security suite began to delete application shortcuts from Windows Taskbar and Start Menu, sometimes even removing the linked program files from disk.

Here's the thing... You need to know the source where the driver update come from. Not so sure people would jump on it as sweet candy if they saw that the drivers was for Intel's baby Gaming boxes😎 But, yep some would jump on it anyway. Stupidity will always beat common sense. And as I pointed out in my reply...

Thanks bro Rage 🙂 We Norwegians is weird people, LOOL This is a nice post for bro @Mr. Fox People will never learn!!! https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117609-DRIVERS-Intel-Chipset-MEI-SATA-VMD-(1xx-2xx-3xx-4xx-5xx-6xx-7xx)&p=881836#post881818 My response below... End result.... Edit. And same mess here with same "not needed" driver... Yep, some people never learn

They all will soon go with white models. I expect they do it because of the never stopping (RGB) bling bling trend. White reflect colors a lot more than black. I expect Black chassis still have the bigger audience. My sons chassis is white, but if everything have been white it wouls become awful. The black parts inside the white box make it look a lot better. All white theme will never match all black. Too much of the white color will destroy the whole look for white chassis. Too much black in a black box can't go wrong. As you can see... Black will fresh up the whole white. The small black dog is the "Little Thief".

I have the proper BeQuiet cable and big enough box for this graphics card. And with big enough I mean huge. No problem fit in this “small” card🙂 It’s what it is bro Fox. Modern times. And I expect it’s a lot easier sell this card in the used market than any of the other brands fancy looking cards. I can clearly see that in the retail shops. Always sold out within hours. And we don’t lack 4090 cards in the shops here. A lot of them. Aftermarket is important so you can reduce your loss when it’s time to move on to next level of overpriced graphics cards. But, if you want to empty your stomach... Look no other places than here Nvidia prepare for competition and worse times (people have less money to spend on fun). Going cheaper, reduce component cost to keep up profits if the ASP decrease below MSRP. Not a bad idea, Nvidia. You shine in your greed. Nvidia play the silicon lottery for their consumers... NVIDIA to introduce new variants of Ada GPUs. Starts with already overpriced 4080 die. An updated silicon labeled as AD103-301 brings minor changes to end users, but will help board partners in lowering the cost. comparator circuit New graphics chip to reduce production costs computerbase.de

It seem AMD collect vulnerabilities and prefer push out patches after they have released new products. This time patched only 31 vulnerabilities 🙂 AMD Discloses 31 New CPU Vulnerabilities, Issues Patch Guidance tomshardware.com And yes, Intel follows the same path. But stop the talk about who is best in the class. They are both equal dishonest and both have to implement vulnerabilities to make their products to show better perfomance. Then they have to fix their own created mess with patches after they have been discovered with the panths down. This is classic. Give something with the left hand then backtack it later with the right hand. They should stop implement code to show their products in better lights. Not always😎 AMD try avoid drama. Drama can reduce sales😎 They usually hide what is patched in newer firmware. And they don't patch before they have to. "AMD quietly divulged 31 new CPU vulnerabilities" in a January update, spanning its Ryzen chips for consumers and the EPYC data center processors. The vulnerability update also includes a list of AGESA versions, with mitigations for the impacted processors. Quetly fix the vulnerabilities then throw it out. The end results will sometimes end as this.. Angry owners of their modern HW. .

Nice with a working graphics card. Worse for those that jumped into AMDs new and shiny. Probably not the exact failure numbers but 11% means +1 out of 10 is screwed by AMD 🙂 https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-failure-rates-reportedly-at-11-rmas-piling-up-but-users-not-receiving-cards/ How is the vram clocking?

Remember where it come from. Pcworld got it from... A popular PC subreddit, warning AMD graphics card owners of a malicious website.... Wccftech only wanted a piece of the cake😎 AMD have been in stormy weather lately so why not throw more wood on the fire Edit. This showed up in the used market here home. 300$ off used. Probably discovered that the liquid X is of awful bin quality. Say its brand new and unopened. But why not just return it for refund if its brand new?

I know you brother. So just calm down, sit and have a good laugh😎 Don't do the same as some AMD owners😀 The AMD experience continue....

Im not happy (impressed) with how der8auers did the testing and how he showed the results while the bench run. And weird he didn't test with liquid metal with the vanilla EK Velocity WB and the contact frame (remember the EK waterblock is the same version as the direct die block). Yep, hot air coming out means the that the cooling work. But I flooded the MSI Liquid X rad with some really strong fans with a lot airflow and air prssure. The temps coming out from the rad dropped (faster heat transfer from the radiator). Better flooding the rad with loads of air. In the end.... Msi went for lower noise than better cooling performance. Yep. Until Nvidia find out that they need to do some changes in the drivers to push you on the latest and greatest. Just look at my Zotac posts. +100 FPS on old cards just means Microsoft and Nvidia need to castrate your cards (if you still have a couple of year with driver support. This doesn't matter). Here is more info for you. Expect screw up's.... And always write down (or take pictures - save links for your best results). Be you sure... More screw up's than performance improvements will always be the end outcome from Redmond and HW driver teams. I'm happy to see you are more happy with your new bench results 🙂

https://www.techspot.com/news/97251-corsair-creates-new-psu-side-mounted-power-connectors.html @electrosoftCongrats 🙂 I mentioned MSIs stupid greed before. Maybe they saved 5 cents for the lacking 4 screws? I wish the fans was more powerful (Better have more than less). Some complained about hot air coming out from the rad. I used the 4000 rpm server fans to help on the airflow while I had the Liquid X. But that sound from the fans from Hell still cling/ring in my ears, LOOL

If they follow AMD, then you never know how their QC and QM will pan out😁 Once again AMD screw up. This time a QC problem in their sales/marketing department, LOOL A heartbreaking mistake, AMD now says Ryzen 7000X3D is not launching on February 14th https://videocardz.com/newz/a-heartbreaking-mistake-amd-now-says-ryzen-7000x3d-is-not-launching-on-february-14th Sorry, but my trust in today's tech is lowering and on same level as what they provide/offer you.
