    I no longer use software for lighting controls because virtually all of the garbage is Windows Store filth and I refuse to allow that bloated trash on my systems. ASUS Armory Crate is beyond unacceptable and MSI Center is only marginally better. Armory Crate is a HUGE pig in terms of services and system resource wastefulness. I instead use a separate hardware controller for RGB lighting on my desktops. That also eliminates having to reapply settings after resetting NVRAM. If I want to change colors or lighting themes I use the included wireless remote. Nothing is attached to my motherboard RGB/ARGB ports now. Life is much better that way. That also gives me the control I need for Windows 7 and Linux. (Up yours, Micro$lop, LOL.)

    The GX Corner is an internet Start Page focused on PC gaming, and virtually none of the information that it contains matters to me personally. I prefer to load a blank search page by default. If you enable the slider "GX Corner in sidebar" in settings it will prevent that page from loading when you open the browser. (I also do not care for news or shopping or any other kind of tiled crap to appear on my browser start page. I allow only the weather info.) I also disable all of the social media shortcuts in the sidebar. I do not use any of the social media options present except for Telegram, and I only use Telegram rarely... on demand, and only when someone asks to communicate with me by IM/text. I do not find it useful to have it readily available in the sidebar. I use it too seldom to want it there. I do not allow any kind of instant communication applications to run on my systems automatically because they use system resources and I do not want to be readily accessible to anyone via instant message. I will have to try the background music option. I arbitrarily disabled it without any effort to test it because I did not want any audio distractions while web browsing. But, I will check it out since you like it. 🙂 Overall, I really am liking Opera GX. I really like the CPU and RAM limiter options and have them enabled permanently. I limit CPU to 15% max and RAM to 4GB max.

    If you are referring to the gold color behind the score, that seems to be a cosmetic change with the latest "preview" version (0.10.9 Preview 1) of Benchmate. There are no invalid flags on the runs and an invalid run cannot be submitted to HWBOT.org if memory serves me correctly. Every benchmark run with the Benchmate 0.10.9 Preview 1 version has the gold color there. If I run Benchmate 0.10.8.0 the color is green and the time measurements are the same.
  4. Mr. Fox
    I guess I am not seeing it anywhere. Benchmate usually says "invalid" when the run is not valid and you cannot submit it to HWBOT if the run is invalid. Unless they changed something and now they accept invalid submissions.
  5. Mr. Fox
    Where does it say it is "invalid" on the run?
  6. Mr. Fox
    Those benchmarks were with the PCIe 4.0 NVMe so that is not an issue. Wow, that is an even better score. Nice job. I am going to have to up my cache to 47x. I have been running it at 43x.

    Before swapping out the 970 EVO NVMe SSDs the PCH temps were reaching 80-85 at idle (about what the temps were in the X570 Crosshair) and running SSD benchmarks like ATTO would push the PCH close to 90°C. Now they are upper 60's and running an ATTO benchmark does not change the PCH temps. My office is 25°C (77°F) right now and my PCH temps are 67°C with the system idle or running SSD benchmarks. I ran 4 SSD benchmarks and there was almost no change in PCH temps.

    https://hwbot.org/submission/4951278_ https://hwbot.org/submission/4951268_ So, I fixed the PCH temps with combination of things. The Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSDs were contributing to that for some reason. Swapping them out with the 960 Pro NVMe SSDs in Banshee brought the temps down about 6°C. Don't know why. (In hindsight, those 970s are what I used in the Crosshair and it also had crazy high PCH temps.) Then I added that massive heat sink with a 12 W/mK thermal pad and two 60mm fans.
  9. Mr. Fox
    Thank you. 🙂

    Yes, I remember it. I built part of it, but honestly had totally forgotten about it. That's quite the blast from the past. Eurocom was still a PremaMod partner back then, too.

    There will be security problems and vulnerabilities as long as the human race continues because some members of our species are horrible, evil, dishonest and deserve to die for their abject despicableness. The expectation that any computer is actually safe is utterly ludicrous, and castrating all of them with skanky patches simply because some icky bastard might take advantage of some of them is like going out into the back yard with a fly swatter and believing that doing so is going to make a difference.

    I don't know why the Benchmate validation window has become so gigantic and bloated looking. That totally sucks and it wastes a ton of screen space. It is only like that on W10/11. On Windows 7 it is still the original size and is far more aesthetically pleasing and screen space-friendly the old way. I asked the Benchmate author to explain why the ugly changes. Brother @Rage Setin case you did not see it, I think you have an answer to a question you asked about certificates on W7 in that same thread. https://community.hwbot.org/topic/190025-the-official-benchmate-support-thread/?do=findComment&comment=605278 Seems like HWBOT is malfunctioning again. It is saying my best submissions are not my best, when they in fact are, and not calculating scores.
  13. Mr. Fox
    Thank you. It was definitely worth the extra few dollars paid for it. Much better than rolling the dice in the silicon lottery.

    I can hardly wait for that. I am so excited about seeing what kind of amazing stuff you create. That is very kind of you. Since I do not support Micro$lop Game Stupidos I hope someone that does grabs it and puts it to good use.

    Also try clicking the button on ThrottleStop to "Turn On" because your settings may not be applied if you do not "turn on" ThrottleStop.
  18. Mr. Fox
    Do you have a stock Clevo BIOS or an unlock BIOS (Prema or Dsanke)? If you do have an unlocked BIOS, try setting everything in the BIOS. I have some videos in my YouTube channel for ThrottleStop. They are old and there are some minor differences in ThrottleStop. You can try replicating some of the settings.

    Did you choose the "disable and lock turbo power limits" open in ThrottleStop? If not, do that. If you can disable C-states in the BIOS, do that. Residency has to do with power saving c/p states. Your power limit is also a limiting factor. Set that to the maximum (4095). You can do that in the TPL page in ThrottleStop.

    Cinebench on Linux... Linux OpenGL Performance
  22. Mr. Fox
    I was finally able to install Linux on my MEG Z690 Unify-X setup. I has having difficulting with an error "AHCI Controller Unavailable" that was preventing me from booting any version of Linux I had tried to install. As it turns out, the issue was caused by my optical drive being connected to the ASMedia SATA controller, which is an incompatible configuration for Linux. More details on how I found out what was causing it is in this post. I have installed POP_OS! with Cinnamon DE and it is working like a champ now.

    Wow, that is a LOT of GPUs. I was going to post in on Mercari or FleaBay, but I have been too busy at work, and painting the house for my wife when not at work. I will hold off and wait for you to decide. I am in no huge rush and I don't mind waiting a bit since you are interested.
  24. Mr. Fox
    Sorry I didn't see your post. Strange that I didn't see a notification. It has been a crazy busy time at work. I would assume that it does but I don't really know because I've never needed to use bifurcation. So I can't really answer accurately.

    The Micro$lop Morons are their own worst enemy. The reason Winduhz is all messed up, and has been since W8.X, is because they keep adding crap they call features. Windows 8 was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012 and that marked the start of their decline. I haven't had a lick of respect for them since. They need to just roll back all of the idiotic stuff they have done over the past 10 years and then just leave it the hell alone and stop screwing with it.
