It's all about having fun with your hardware, regardless if its a laptop or not. I used to have fun with laptops too. I just much prefer the upgrade, and expand ability of desktops. And I can sit it right next to me on the desk, and look how pretty it is 🤣

Mini room air conditioner? 82f is way too hot to even be sitting in there. I used to run one in my office, it was like a meat locker. Electric bill was a little high, but it was fun for benchmarking.

Need more air flow for that extreme heat you have coming soon 🤣

And from everything I've read, Arrow Lake is going to lay a big turd. AM5 is the only path forward that I am reading. Clock regression, no hyper threading, only sounds like a step backwards to me.

Because it's no longer about what the end user wants anymore. It's about ad revenue, and shareholders needs.

We were saying the same things comparing Windows 7 to Windows 10, what, 6 years ago? What would happen if Windows 7 source code was released? Just a hypothetical? Massive 3rd party driver development, and a jump to first in marketshare...lol

It would be unstable with default bios settings, and overheat of course 🤣

For those that use AM5, and Msi @electrosoft here is the fix for the new bios and 8000mhz ram. Looks like the high voltage setting was broken. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/mpg-x670e-carbon-wifi-bios-7d70v1g1-bugged.396406/post-2255508

Another huge black stain on Intel, and you know as well as I do, they did this on purpose with full knowledge of what they were doing. That trash should have never been released, and they look foolish and desperate for doing so.

You did 🤣

Spoken like a true monitor nerd 🤣🤙

Unless I'm missing something in the BIOS settings, msi needs a failsafe routine added to their code. If my x570 asrock board would fail to post 3 times, it would load defaults, and enter the BIOS. This msi board forces you to reset the cmos, which is annoying. I know this board has a memory "try it", but it's not configurable.

It'll post and boot at 6000mhz. Zero of my settings will post 8000mhz. Both module sets do the same thing.

Well crap, I had to go and be the guinea pig for MSI. Their latest bios broke 8000mhz ram on my board. Ive tried for an hour to get it to post, and it just refuses. Expo on, expo off, it does not matter.

Got my led fixed in my bykski gpu block, and also I am trying these new cable less fans. So far I'm impressed with not having a rats nest of wires, and they perform great for $25 for a set.

On a different note, I am not sure what to do about Windows 10 ending next year. I have the same feeling in my stomach when I was eventually forced to Windows 10. I did not want to give up my beloved 7. Now that I have 10 in a state where I can use it without a bit of vomit in my mouth, they want to force everyone to 11.

@electrosofthttps://us.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-X670E-CARBON-WIFI/support 04/11/2024 AGESA Patch A updated? Was hoping for Zen 5 support

I read that the other day, about Asus releasing support for zen 5. Should mean a sooner rather than later? I'm ready 🤙

Don't have to worry about sag if you slap a waterblock on it 🤣

Funny you post this now. Yesterday my bling bling stopped working in my gpu water block. I like the white or red light, so I will purchase a replacement from Ali express for $6.

That's unfair, you are a ram wizard...those numbers are nuts bro.

Seen a review on Ali about a guy that ordered a $250 Rtx 4090, and received a box of plastic hangers 🤣

Happy Easter to you too my friend!

I do remember him! Atta boy 🤙 The new Bykski waterblock runs around 2c cooler than the stock Raijintek. I was able to get personal bests on several benchmarks, running my full fledged windows 10 ltsc.
