Mr. Fox

The question is, "Are there really going to be massive profits?" or are they spending a lot of money on a gamble that it will eventually pay off. I am not convinced they are going to make money and may end up drawing back a bloody stump before it's over. I certainly hope so. It would be a real shame if their cash-grabbing nonsense turns out well for them and for their shareholders. I'd much prefer to see financial tragedy visited upon them. Tit for tat.

The least they could do is pretend they love us and say nice things while they are choking us and pulling our hair.

Even the Quadro P5000 MXM in my Dell Precision turdbook has 16GB of vRAM. It is inexcusable that 8GB GPU options exist today. That should only be on the cheapest and lowest tier garbage-class products that are just one step up from integrated graphics. Nothing new is built to last the test of time or deliver maximum performance. Everything is designed to fail, and deliver structured performance limitations, to ensure a never-ending flow of cash. It is remarkably similar to the pharmaceutical industry and practice of medicine. They do not make money on healthy people or cures. Keeping people on meds forever, and follow up doctor visits to renew prescriptions, and creating new medical problems from prolonged consumption of chemicals that require more meds and more medical care is the gift that keeps on giving. They don't want anyone to be healthy because it is bad for business. PC and electronics hardware companies do not want to manufacture and sell durable consumer products that perform well. They want to sell garbage with a limited lifespan so they can collect more money on upgrades and product refreshes to replace the last generation of trash they sold consumers. Live to pay, pay to live. Just like the old bumper sticker... Ass, gas or grass... nobody rides for free.

I was going to post this video. I'm glad I saved money going with the Zotac 5090.

They are all part of the same circle jerk and worshipping at the same Satanic throne of AI filth.

Yeah, that should be fine. They also constantly change under load to a small degree. That is also normal. If you start seeing 2.0 to 3.0 amps variance under load where one pin is always that much lower than the rest of the pins then you should start investigating what the deal is because something is wrong. You got a lot of stuff done. I look forward to hearing how all the other things worked out once you have more time for testing. If you had a poor mount that would certainly diminish your memory overclock. You do not need to have the high performance IHS super tight. Only tight enough that it fully presses the CPU into the socket pins and the screws are not loose.

I can smell it, too. This gal lets a Jensen in the car. Or, is it a Nadella? They smell the same. And, I can feel it.

I love Skillet. I remember going to their concerts as a young adult and they were very young (18 to 21) when they first started the band.

Your ambient temperature in this photo is 10°F cooler than mine. Congrats on the PSU upgrade.

With the circus of failures at Micro$lop and OpenAI circling the drain, and now (hopefully) NVIDIA standing to lose billions, the bubble might break sooner than later. Fingers crossed. I hope they all burn brightly. It would be great to see the Green Goblin, Samsung, TSMC and others suddenly sitting on a surplus of product that their AI mafia cronies no longer want. The timing of the bubble breaking would also be perfect timing for Micron's recent nasty-finger salute to consumers.

If this POS bill becomes law, 3D printers will be just the start. The brain cancer will metastasize and spread to everything that runs on firmware and software. I used to think blue was a pretty color, but now I find it projectile vomit repulsive.
