The thing I figured out about "fake news" is that it is only fake to those that do not want to believe it. That is why hardly anyone on the left or right watches liberal or conservative "news" anymore. We all get fed a nonstop load of crap and twisted information in a manner that spins the agenda the direction the presenters of lies want it to go. The only way to handle it is to decide which agenda is closer to the truth as one sees it, take the bits and pieces from the source deemed less dishonest, pick the pieces that align with what one suspects is true, and dismiss the rest as nonsense with the understanding that 98% of anything the talking heads that pretend to be journalists say is utter bullshit. The trick is identifying the 2% that is factual. But, I do find it useful to know what makes my adversaries tick and what kind of phoney baloney is floating in their sick little heads.

Since you are in Canada and it is cold outside, set your max overclock and max out the fans and bench it outside. I bet you will break 9K. The GPU is going to be thermally limited long before it actually ever gets hot. Even the high end desktop GPUs suffer from this idiotic and sucky firmware algorithm. The colder you can get that GPU the higher it is going to boost using the applied overclock offset. I post his videos often in this thread. He is really amazing. Check out the other videos on his YouTube channel. Since I subscribe to his channel I see his new videos the day they are posted. I had him replace a bad memory chip on the 2080 Ti FTW3 that I recently sold. He was fast and very reasonable on the pricing. He is near Seattle, WA. -

I still haven't forgiven myself for that and I am not enthusiastic about repeating that mistake. 4090 performance is compelling, but the pricing is as repulsive as it was with 3090. While I believe the 3090 KPE is a fantastic overbuilt GPU, I still regret paying what I did for it and still kind of feel like I got screwed over. I am somewhat disappointed with it and have been since the day it arrived. I do not find it remarkably better than an 3090 FTW3 in terms of performance. The only thing about it that I consider "great" is that it is an EVGA product and backed by their industry-leading service and support. What makes it worse now is that a plain vanilla cracker jack 4090 (sold by a company that I know will be a huge pain in the butt to deal with if I need warranty support) is priced like it is a Kingpin-level halo product. It is sad how seldom anyone leaves feedback for me on eBay. I go out of my way to communicate with them, ship immediately, provide additional information to them about the product after the sale, and give the buyer good feedback. I hear nothing more. I have pinged them numerous times with a message to ask if they received the product and everything was as expected, and they will often reply that they are very happy and thank me, but still leave no feedback. I generally only use eBay as a last resort when my efforts to sell something have failed in another venue. I was going to look at selling on jawa.gg for PC parts, but when I went to sign up it seemed like a real hassle, so I never finished the sign-up process. Pretty chintzy MSI GPU... -

It will be interesting, maybe even a little bit scary, to see how many people actually dumb enough to pay $1000 for such a modest mid-range GPU. This is more than ludicrous. -

That was probably an issue of some sort with the HP laptop. Some of them implement some terribly janky display output messes. Depending on how new it is, if it uses Intel integrated graphics it may not even be physically possible for it to function with Windows 7. The patching done with Flashboot can't deal with the cancer once it has metastasized to that degree. The defective design is botched to the point that it is irredeemable. I am really fed up with the evil bastards that make decisions about technology deliberately doing things to screw everyone that is not content to be part of the zombie sheeple herd. Some are even more stupid than that. Not only do they have no clue about the degree of their own stupidity, they actually view themselves as being smart and cannot be convinced that they are mistaken. -

That Flashboot tool integrates all of them for you in an ordinary Windows 7 ISO. I believe it uses NTLite in the background, but it is a great solution because you don't have to find anything or do any kind of research. Without it, the only way I can do it (even with drivers integrated) is to install from SATA DVD using a PS2 mouse and keyboard, then install the drivers manually after finishing setup. It was like that on Z590 and Z690 for me. The ISOs that were supposed to work did not. -

Merry Christmas, Brother. Blessings to you and your family. Install Windows 7 first on one M.2 SSD. Disable all other drives in the BIOS or remove them from your motherboard. GPT is the better option for an OS drive, while I recommend MBR for data. GPT will give you some flexibility MBR does not afford. (I personally like MBR better, but use GPT for the OS.) Use Flashboot (free will be enough) to create the Windows 7 USB drive. https://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ but note that the Pro version allows you to slipstream drivers and some other things the free version does not. I own the Pro version and like it. You get lifetime updates and the developer is an anti-DRM and anti-SaaS evangelist, so I like supporting a good cause. Note: creating the USB drive with Flashboot will allow Windows 7 to run in Pure UEFI without CSM as long as your GPU supports it. My 3090 does not for some reason. You can try it with CSM disabled. If the GPU gets a code 10 or 43 when you try to install the driver, enable CSM and everything will work fine. You won't have to do anything other than enable CSM. Again, use GPT for the OS for this to work correctly. You can use Flashboot for the Windows 10 USB installer as well. It will also disable the Windows 11 TPM and Secure Boot requirements like Rufus. After Windows 7 is installed, either disable its drive in the BIOS or remove it before installing Windows 10. Again, you want the only drive to be the one you are installing Windows to. If you are going to install Linux, follow the same process so that GRUB or systemd get installed by default on the same drive as the OS. You can guarantee that by making it the only drive available to the OS. After both OSes are installed, enable all drives on your system. Stop and take a few short minutes to create a Macrium Reflect images of your fresh OS installations. It works for making an image of your Linux installation as well. Now you can choose which OS to boot using the BIOS Boot priority hotkey (usually F8). The Dark BIOS has an option to always show that menu during system boot. By following the process I outlined you can remove any drive without that affecting the function of the other OSes because each has its own Boot Manager and has no reliance on the other OSes. Yes, I use EasyBCD on each OS to add the other OS bootloader to the menu so that regardless of which drive you boot from you can choose to load a different OS. I have not had any success adding GRUB or LiLo to the Windows Boot Manager with EasyBCD, so I choose the Linux drive to load it. But, you don't need to use EasyBCD at all. You can let Linux manage it. It will automatically add your Windows Boot Managers to the GRUB boot menu. Something I played with yesterday. I made a Windows to Go installation with Flashboot Pro. I put Windows 8.1 on a 1TB M.2 SATA drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure and it runs like it is installed internally. You can't tell it is running on a USB port. Crystal Diskmark speeds are the same as if the drive was installed internally. I was seriously impressed with everything except Windows 8.1. (I had forgotten what a horrible POS Windows 8.X was, and there is no 3090 driver functionality, even with an INF mod.) I think I am going to tinker with that more, but not using Windows 8.1 garbage. The unpleasant reminder of how horrible it is made me hate Windows 10 just a little bit less. -

With a 666 power limit it should be a "beast" vBIOS. (Yes, I am joking about the number, not the actual power limit.) -

Merry Christmas, everyone. I think Brothers @johnksssand @Papusanwill appreciate this since they are multi-boot users like me and take advantage of using the best OS for the task at hand rather than defaulting to the use of one OS and living with whatever lackluster results doing so produces. One of the issues with booting an older OS like XP, Vista and Windows 7 is the difference in how Disk Checking works and they are constantly fighting with Windows 8.1, 10 and 11 over disk management and corrupting one another in the process. The fix in this article puts an end to that stupidity with a simple registry tweak that allows them to coexist in peace. You simply do the tweak and reboot twice for the change to take effect. Stop Disk Check From Running On Every Boot Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] "NtfsDisableLfsDowngrade"=dword:00000000 "NtfsDisableLfsUpgrade"=dword:00000001 Easier than that, bro. https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts Two PowerShell scripts you should become familiar with...

Previously redacted emails are now released unredacted. Personalizing this seems kind of silly, bro. My family is composed of marriages from a wide variety of ethnic origins, including people from Mexico. Most of my best friends are not white. In all cases those family and friends that I love dearly are American... US Americans to be crystal clear. They are committed to the success and security of the United States first and foremost, and then US allies. They haven't forgotten their roots, but they are US citizens and that is their culture now, and they renounce the idiotic woke left "culture" that seeks to replace traditional values, degrade the traditional family, and erode patriotism and replace that with an unconventional and nefarious "globalist" agenda that values everything that is anti-US Americanism. They do not claim to be "entitled" and they do not believe that lawlessness is acceptable, or that lawbreakers are entitled to anything. They have no right to be here. They are criminals and should be treated as such. Some are decent people, but their entry being illegal makes them lawbreakers, and punishment and deportation are appropriate. Assuming you are an adult now, what happened when you were a kid isn't the same as what is happening now and to pretend it is the same shows both a lack of understanding and support for continuance of the problem. The influx of terrorist and cartels, human trafficing and drug trade were not status quo at the time unless you are still in high school. I don't think anything bad about you and if your entry as a child wasn't kosher or legal, and your family did the right thing after their arrival, the past is in the past now. There are a lot of good, hard-working, honest and kind people entering the US illegally. There are just as many, or more, that are not. It was a different world back then. It wasn't right then and it is not right now, but the wave needs to stop and if the use of force is necessary, so be it. We cannot, and should not, financially, physically or morally support the uncontrolled influx of millions of illegal migrants. When you actually look at the numbers and stop paying attention to the rhetoric from the media, it is staggering and absolutely cause for alarm and drastic measures unless a person is brain-dead. The year before last was already bad, and illegal migration at the southern border doubled in 2021... shameful and unacceptable... yet, Mr. Mayorkas has the audacity to tell us the border is secure... both absurd and dishonest. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/11/09/whats-happening-at-the-u-s-mexico-border-in-7-charts/ft_21-11-01_mexicoborder_2/ But, but 2022 is off the charts and 2023 will be even more devastating unless swift and decisive action occurs. Notice how few are family units and unaccompanied minors versus single adult individuals. The deniers of truth only want to talk about the fringe outliers like the "children in cages" that was never talked about when Obama was allowing it, nor do they talk about how minuscule that number is in the grand scheme of things because the facts are a distracting narrative that do not incite the kind of irrational emotion that works well for advancing their open-border agenda. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters We need to do whatever is necessary to seal our borders (north and south) and block illegal immigration. It should be extremely difficult to enter without authority and there should be punishment for those that do so given our current state of health, social and economic conditions. We should all support legal immigration. I know I do. If those coming here bring value and offer something useful to citizens, I am all for it if they do it legally. Otherwise, they don't belong here and should be stopped, processed as a felon, and swiftly deported to whatever their nation of origin is. If they are claiming political asylum, it needs to be proven by fact and circumstance rather than allowed to stand as an illegitimate excuse.

The E-cores are Atom cores and they are not hyperthreading-capable. Unless you are competing on a lower thread count basis or doing something that doesn't leverage more cores/threads (like lots of games and certain benchmarks) you are losing performance by disabling E-cores. More cores/threads means more work gets done faster on applications that can use more cores/threads. In the scenarios where they cannot be leveraged, disabling them makes sense. If you die before me, please put it in your Last Will and Testament that I get that CPU, LOL. -
