Anyone tried to flash the Galax Hof 666 W bios on the 4090? how does it behave?

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/252087/252087

 

 

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

I honestly cannot remember the last time I bought a Windows License. I had MSDN access back in the day for Windows 7, so I have every version of it. I would never buy a license for the crap they put out now. Go to MDL for things like this? I know they are not very much on Kinguin, but I would hate myself if I bought a Windows 10 key.....I would feel like I supported their trash 😁

you mean USA belongs to USA people last time i checked the map america is the north central and south of the country. 

 

8 states were stolen from mexico.  

 

i was crossed illegally when i was a child. we never leeched we never ask for support we never asked for wellware. all the support we had was my mothers hands and will to support us up until now she still is working nearly 80 yrs old. i have nothing to say about USA i lived there all my family are hardworking people. i behave as a good citizen. the USA was my home and am grateful all the years i lived there. now i live in mexico.

 

we also see immigrants here i have 0 income but when i do have money i help them. i dont care how they entered i only care for them to behave. the only thing that i get mad at is when they dont respect our border patrol. or our authorities. in the southern border they have stoned our authorities they have used weapons like wood or metal pipes. 

i dont always judge people there are reasons why people migrate. in any aspect i always put myslf in their shoes. not all are born with privileges like people born in the USA

 

you think i am scum.?  thats another thing i never generalized anything. theres good and bad people everywhere.

 

so say you are a militar and i cross the border would you shoot me. ? or back when i did crossed like i said i was brought there as a child would you shoot my parents and family.? 

 

 

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.

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.

Thanks my friend. Here's some more blessings from snowy Middle Norway. Some of you have never seen the real Northern dreaded dark. This from Christmas Eve 2022. Love you all. And enjoy the small road up to to old Papusan's homeplace. Here you'll get everything.... Loads of clean white snow, clean air, the well known Northern dark in the winter time, the ice cold and the wind. And a mix of everything in between. And enoy the music in the background. I'm sure you know who singing🙂 

Almost done. I will download and install latest version of Win 10 Pro. Up to the son what he will use after the Windows activation. Bought a Win 10 Pro license at Kinguin. Of course the English version. 

 

That looks really nice. Your son will be so happy. Has he seen it yet?

Your singing voice sounds exactly like Elvis, bro.

Doesn't disabling the E-Cores allow you to open up the P-Cores even further though?

 

I think with the E-Cores and hyperthreading disabled (just for giggles), you could possibly gain another 200-300 MHz on top of what you can already achieve.

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.

Honestly, it has SP121 P-Cores and 6Ghz is too easy, so I may just try that out. Before going direct die, I could run 6.2-6.3-6.4 on the cores for gaming with E-Cores and HT still on. 

If you die before me, please put it in your Last Will and Testament that I get that CPU, LOL.

He is submitting benchmarks on HWBOT with 4090, so either he got a different one or has not returned his (yet).

Yeah, if HUB is pooping on an AMD parade, you know it can't be good. While I do think they're generally pretty objective and level-headed, I've always considered them a little biased in favor of AMD. And, that's probably true in the right context... which makes it even more noteworthy advice.

If I could snag a 7900 XTX for about $500-$600 I would be willing to give it a spin. Otherwise, how 'bout no.

The more I see on the pricing for 4080 and previous gen AMD and Nvidia,  I can see there is only one option. 4090 if you can find one at MSRP. Or just buy a cheap mid end card. The 3070 for my son was an ok deal. And the card fits his needs. Going above this SKU performance and you'll be screwed on prices. Or just wait it out until mid spring. 

 

I just watched that video and hour or two ago and Jay is making a lot of sense. I wouldn't want a 4080, but it would make more sense to buy a 4080 than a new 3080 or 3090 if I were going to waste a large sum of money on an overpriced GPU. Though it is not particularly desirable, it is the only one that makes any sense right now even though it is grossly overpriced.

Sad days we're living in right now. Totally nuts.

Of course they will only support 4xxx series cards. They need to offer something brand new so you feel you got something back from the expensive upgrade.

The whole idea is to force the purchase of new hardware and forcing adoption of a trashy crap operating system. It has nothing to do with compatibility or capacity with hardware and everything to do with greed and making computer technology a totalitarian digital ecosystem. The world's technology leaders are filthy scumbags. I wish for tragedy, destruction and financial ruin to visit all of them.

And from 27:34 AMD chose to increase their margins going with chiplets (to cut costs) over trying to compete in high end. Thats a kind of company AMD is, LOOL

I hate having to admit it when this guy is right, but when someone states the truth I have to support it. Right is right no matter whose mouth the words emanate from. AMD is not in the game to win. They never have been. Or, at least they don't behave as if they are. Maybe they don't know how because they haven't won at anything except being the low cost leader since about 2003.

I have the newest revision coming. Someone was running it on their 13900K and they broke the chip apparently via accidental SMD removal, and they sold me the supercool DD block. I had to pay $150 shipped for it though 😞. They are hard to come by in todays time. The guy making them is backed up with orders. 
 

I’m running 6.0P, 4.8E, 5.1R on my current CPU for gaming work etc and hoping this will tame down temps during some heavier benches.

If I had a 3D printer and knew how to use it (or a CNC machine - even better) I would make a direct die frame that is made like the IHS frame but thinner on top. I think if you glue the cold plate in place with a drop of Super Glue on each side in the center, the danger of knocking off the SMDs will be minimized. Latching the cold plate down using the Intel ILM sucks and I think that method carries greater risk if it is not held in place. I think it would be safer to do direct die by using Kapton tape to hold the CPU in the socket and just set an ordinary waterblock on the die. Then the chances of knocking off the SMDs is slim.

I havent really used Asus since they left me high and dry with a Rampage III Extreme with a dead memory channel.

That's the reason most have left Asus, their horrible customer service, and crap QC. I haven't owned one for 10 years. There are too many other manufacturers that have better products IMO. I base my opinion on board quality and customer support combined.

If their warranty service were like EVGA I would be more forgiving of their shoddy QC. Although, I have not forgiven them yet for killing the best 10900KF sample I have ever owned. Probably won't. When they sell you a pile of trash and it takes more than a month to resolve the matter that is unacceptable. When you buy their top of the line products you should get a cross-ship RMA and next business day exchange service. (Not overnight air, but shipped by next business day.) You have to pay to ship their broken garbage to them, wait for them to receive it, then get in line for testing and then wait for them to decide whether to make excuses why it is your fault instead of theirs and the wait for them to determine whether they are going to repair it or replace it, then wait for them to act on their decision. It is an absolute JOKE and I'd like to see them crucified for it. The Rampage board I had that caught on fire was obviously destroyed and it took the idiots 6 weeks to ship a replacement. About 10 days was lost waiting for an engineer to examine it to verify they could not repair it. It was obvious at a glance it was damaged beyond feasible repair. Even if they could have done something it was cosmetically destroyed. Within a matter of about three days the Rampage was replaced by an X299 Dark and I sold the refurbished turd they sent as a replacement almost 2 months after it failed. I never even unwrapped it. It went up for sale on eBay immediately.

I am not confident that MSI or Gigabutt are actually any different when it comes to shoddy service, and I believe ASSrock might be as bad or worse than ASUS. Maybe Brother @johnkssscan speak to how his experience has been, but as an outside observer I was most definitely not impressed by what I think I saw his experience look like with MSI. When my first Unify-X was failing (it was only a few days old) I was fortunate because it was within the 30 day window for return at NewEgg, so I had them swap it out. Even NewEgg has been service than ASUS.

If you buy a good product that is durable you do not need quality warranty service and support. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find good products that live up to my expectations as an overclocking enthusiast.

I would consider a Z790 Apex if it were not so grossly overpriced and I had a spare motherboard to use if it failed (which is likely, unfortunately). I believe it is only available in white and I think it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of aesthetics. Black would have been a more logical choice. I know some people like white components, but it really limits their target market.

More tacky-looking computer crap... LOL. This time from ASUS, not Yeston. They are focusing on this stupid stuff instead of QC. At least it is not effeminate anime crap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1PG1C8D?ref_=posts

Case fans for the Chroma RGB world

Razer Kunai Chroma 120mm and 140mm

With the Kunai Chroma fans, Razer offers its own fans. The integrated Chroma RGB lighting should be a special eye-catcher. With wide speed ranges, Kunai Chroma 120mm and 140mm also give hope for high cooling performance.

I find it difficult to imagine why anyone would buy an Alienware or a Razer desktop. The only plausible explanation for it is abject ignorance. Nobody of ordinary intelligence would deliberately waste their money on the rubbish produced by either of these companies, so ignorance is the only way to explain such irrational behavior.

I think I am cursed. I swear I am. The TRX40 platform has been nothing but trouble for me. My Asus Zenith Extreme II Alpha has died....and this was the replacement mobo for the original that died on me. So in two years, I went through the original Zenith Extreme II, replaced that and sold it. Purchased the Zenith Extreme II Alpha, died and got that replaced. Now this one is suffering from the same Memory 00 - Memory Test error.

 

I don't understand. I am not overclocking the CPU nor the GPU. The RAM is set at 3600 which is perfectly fine for this platform. 

 

Now I have to worry about if Asus is going to replace it, because I don't know if it is under warranty or not. I'm going to send it to them on Friday and wait. I am done with high end consumer PC products. 

You must have stood too close to me and my crummy product sample kooties jumped over onto you.

Have you tried anything but Asus? I have been done with them for quite some time. My go to choice for any MB is MSI.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Creator-TRX40

 

 

Asus reliability is extremely sketchy on their flagship products. I have had nothing but trouble with Rampage, Maximus Hero and Apex motherboards. What is really goofy is the fact that I have had no problems with their cost-conscious options like Prime and Strix motherboards. It makes no sense, because the opposite should be true. You pay a premium price, but do not get a premium product or premium support for it.

This is terribly unfortunate because their enthusiast motherboards have very compelling features and offer performance that is only matched in an EVGA Dark motherboard, but the failure rate and horrible customer service and inconvenience you have to endure isn't a good trade-off for those features. EVGA isn't perfect, but their support and customer-care standards make me always give preference to them over any other brand. Their products are overbuilt and if something goes wrong they swiftly remedy the problem in a hassle-free manner. They don't treat you like a criminal or automatically assume it is the customer's fault and make you wait 3 to 6 weeks to get a replacement. Nobody else does that. The way EVGA operates should be status quo and taken for granted on flagship products no matter what the brand is.

Same thing. A common theme in right-wing circles in Europe too. How can they justify a bias towards the gangster state? 

In my opinion that is a conditioned response because of the numbness of thought the left's droning over utter baloney has created. I think the material they are reporting on is slanted that way, not necessarily the people presenting it. The people presenting it are conservative and more reliably report unvarnished info rather than spin on an agenda, and sometimes the unvarnish truth is offensive. (TBH I always find the liberal woke agenda offensive, on top of being a misrepresentation of info, LOL.) The Ukrainian government is far from what I would view as righteous or angelic, but they're not nearly as messed up as Russian government. Information needs to be reported accurately even when we don't like what we see and hear, or find it offensive or immoral, or seemingly hateful. The mainstream news outlets are never straight about anything with their viewers or listeners. Everything they do is geared toward opinion control and manipulation.
