    Also a long time Chrome user but I’m willing to check this out as it definitely looks interesting. I run a few plugins/extensions on Chrome so hopefully those are supported here? Either way it looks fresh.

    I picked mine up at Best Buy when they had the $1499 sale on it. For the specs the price was hard to pass on.

    Pushing 105w through the little beast, barely breaking a sweat lol. This paste/pad is crazy. Max fans, no cooling pad or anything weird, just sitting on my laptop.

    Checking in with my Omen 16.1" 2021 edition with 11800H and RTX 3070 115w 1440p 165Hz G-Sync/Advanced Optimus 🙂 Repasted it recently with Honeywell PTM 7950 phase change thermal pad/sheet. https://ibb.co/KmPpN6j I'm also using 32gb Dual Ranked Kit of 2933Mhz CL17 Gear 1 instead of the stock 3200Mhz CL22 Gear 2. My biggest gripe is the completely locked down BIOS. If I had access to the Advanced BIOS to tune the memory and run Gear 1 at 3200Mhz CL16 the laptop would be perfect but I haven't found a way in yet.

    @ryan My HP Omen 16.1" 11800H/3070 repasted with Honeywell PTM 7950 (phase change) thermal pad. This stuff is amazing. Not quite Liquid Metal but the best thermal material I have ever used. I got a sheet of it from China, took about 2 weeks for delivery but damn this stuff is crazy good.

    Solid choice on the Unify-X. I’ve read nothing but good things about it and MSI nailed the DDR5 OC this round. I’ve considered picking one up myself.

    What mode are you running your RAM in? In the BIOS there is an option to change the memory speed. I think you'll find that using 3200Mhz Gear 2 is worse than using 2933Mhz Gear 1. Although it's not labeled this. It's labeled SA GV or something similar. There is 20ns difference in latency and not that much difference in read/write to justify the latency hit.

    The i3 is a better sample for sure. Intel is sand bagging so hard with this "low end" locked SKUs. They could have eaisly released higher clocks. But milk milk milk. 🐮🐄 Alder Lake is a beast.
  9. Talon
    Pushing a bit further. Pretty excited to see what the i3 will do now. I'll see if I can get 5.5Ghz out of this chip first though. Not bad for a Pentium dual core in 2022 lol.

    I'm going to blow your mind. Windows Key + Print Screen will make a screenshot for you. Then you can use pictures to crop or whatnot. No need to use paint or anything like that.

    Purchased for the lolz. I also grabbed a 12100F. Just cranked in 140mhz BCLK and booted right up with 6400Mhz XMP.

    Wow. I could stay in that office all day.

    Nice what laptop model is this?

    Pay $200 to have the "chance" of buying a GPU? What a joke.

    It's a really bloated software for sure. It will also hurt your benchmarks. If you need it, make sure you close that crap out completely when trying to bench.

    Have both of the same sets myself lol. I haven't even bothered to try out the 6200 Corsair kit yet. Maybe I'll plug them in tonight and give them a go.
  17. Talon
    Nice!! Not using XMP yet?
  18. Talon
    Stock XMP I with TREFI at 65535 and turn around training enabled. Tested stable for 8000% coverage so far. When I go to 6600 I am still trying to figure out stable voltages. I also have a small fan blowing directly over my sticks. I have the Corsair 6200 CL36 1.3v kit that came in the mail the other day but still have not had time to test it. It's also SK Hynix so curious how those will work out compared to these GSkill SK Hynix.

    I am also still on 0811. It's stable, has BCLK overclock for non-K chips if you want to dabble and has AVX-512 with E cores disabled. I have no plans to ever upgrade unless memory tuning gets vastly improved over this BIOS. @Papusan We are SP twins. My 12900K is also SP92. You got a good chip on first pull so congrats. From what I'm hearing/reading your SP92 is not going to be any worse than a baseline KS chip. EDIT: Looking again at your prediction your cache looks great! You should be able to push that cache to decently high clocks!

    Thank you for preserving as much as possible! Great work!

    Unfortunately I failed to read the highlighted part after reading the first part. Sleep deprivation on launch day, or just plain oversight on my part. Either way I figured the PCIE lanes usually never needed additional power and supplied 75w by SPEC. Unfortunately Asus seems to have built it differently this go. I don't see this on any other manufacturers boards so this is certainly something different.
  22. Talon
    I'm only seeing it on Asus Z690 boards. Looks like Hero, Extreme and Apex all have it. I wondered what it was an quickly read the manual when building the rig. And like I said if you quickly read it, you will think it's only for utilization of a few PCIE cards. It wasn't until I saw the 12v rail voltage and then managed to put two and two together. Also I'm seeing another notebook-review forum, are we headed to that one?

    RTX 3050 Pee Shooter Results -- EVGA card with Gigabyte vBIOS for slightly higher TDP. Good enough for #1 with a stock 12900K lol. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/26066916 @Papusan When you build your Z690 Apex rig, this is NOT optional as the user manual may lead you to believe... I finally discovered why my shit was black screening/crashing under load randomly. I thought I had figured it out, but somehow after I returned from training it's reared it's ugly head again. I again swapped to a low power RTX 3050 card and crashing gone. Ran for hours no issues. I put my 3090 KPE back in and immediately crashed in almost any game. I lowered the power limit to 50% and played for hours. So it has to be PSU? I contacted EVGA this afternoon and they agreed PSU and issued me a cross shipped PSU. Upon further digging I notice my 12v rail is dropping to as low as 11.3v under load. WTF? Surely PSU then... Then I remembered when I built this rig that connection was something new. If you read the Asus manual quickly you may think this is only necessary to hook up when trying to utilize numerous PCIE cards. Nope read further and it says that unless you connect a GPU PCIE cable to this you will have issues with a stable 12v rail. After I connected this cable, 12v is rock stable and no more crashing randomly. What a ridiculous design that I've never seen before.

    Trident Z5 6400 CL32 delivered. XMP booted on my Hero board without issue. Stock run of AIDA64 is nice. Latency is still high but stock sucks, can't wait to see how high I can push these. The Samsung sticks were pretty garbage. These are confirmed SK Hynix as read out from CPU-Z on my sticks.
  25. Talon
    Just picked up the 6400 CL32 sticks from G.Skill. Plan to keep the better of the Corsair SK Hynix vs the G.Skill stuff. Can't let @Papusan have all the fun. Edit: The old forums were there this early morning, and now officially dead. RIP. ☠️
