  1. People that are willing to enable this dung so they can play the latest Battlefield and Call of Duty need to watch this video. It should be terrifying to anyone that has a brain that still functions correctly. Hard to believe that any person of average intelligence could actually believe that Micro$lop is an above-board company that has the interest of consumers at heart. They do not care if people pirate Windows because they are data pirates. And YouTube is kissing their butt.
  2. YouTube and the Micro$lop Mafia. Screw 'em both. May their nasty executives go broke and burn in hell for eternity. I prefer Rumble over YouTube anyhow. I hope a bunch of YouTube content creators get ticked off, leave and move to Rumble.
  3. If it works reliably (unknown) that would be a whole lot better than those stupid thin sense wires. I hate them on all of the crappy new PCIe 12VHPWR (aka 12V-2x6) rubbish cables. Those sense wires really suck. I genuinely do not trust any of them. They are all an unnecessarily fragile and hazardous piece of garbage.
  4. I found them on eBay shipped from China. The idea of using it is still somewhat unsettling and they are $50 a pop. Until the fiasco with CableMod 12VHPWR adapters melting I had always viewed CableMod as a provider of superior quality PSU cables. They have a new 12V-2x6 StealthSense cable (not adapter) that is supposedly a superior solution that seems like a very high quality option that surpasses the quality of what most PSU manufacturers include. It probably is, but I am a bit gun shy. They have some things their competitors do not, like being UL-approved and their StealthSense thing piqued my interest. Nonetheless, It's hard not to feel apprehensive though. Using a third-party solution loses a bit of credibility. If the PSU cable that came with the PSU or the adapter that ships with a new GPU melts and damages the GPU it is easier to point the finger. Whether having a right to point the finger and whether or not they will have your back is a whole different matter. Good chance they will not give you the time of day and just blow you off. If there was one thing that could be said in CableMod's favor is they did not hang their customers out to dry when their defective 90-degree adapters failed. They went beyond what I think any of their competitors would have.
  5. The part you timestamped is one of the rare examples of common sense being easily recognizable when he opens his mouth. His vulgar communication style and his frequent assaults on peers makes it very difficult for knowledgeable enthusiasts to take him and his channel seriously. The lowest common denominators in the personal computing space that run a PC the same as a console will always be the reason we can't have nice things and hardware manufacturers will continue to get away with selling trash. The masses don't know what they don't know and their ignorance is a hindrance to all of us. It gives license to hardware manufacturers and bloatware developers to produce garbage they know most consumers will never recognize as such. As long as it is riddled with rainbow puke and reminds them of the cartoons they enjoy watching on Saturday morning, the sheeple rejoice. If he could clean up his act a little bit and not act like a horse's butt, and didn't charge insane prices for normies to join his Discord and learn things about overclocking and performance tuning, he would be an unstoppable force. He is a very stupid smart guy that makes himself hard for most people to like.
  6. I see that after looking closer to the link you posted. I would only purchase the 12V-2x6 connectors on both ends. But, I don't see them available for sale anywhere in the US.
  7. Ouch... sometimes truth is painful. If Jufes is speaking it, almost guaranteed to be painful. Tact isn't his thing, LOL.
  8. This video was from 2 years ago. This nonsense is out of control and has been for a long time.
  9. If they make one with the same 12V-2x6 connector on both ends the pin-out will be the same regardless of PSU brand. If they only use 8-pin on the PSU side then pin-out could be off between brands (or even models within the same brand) and end in disaster.
  10. All part of the mainstream brainwashing scheme. They do it with everything, not just political brainwashing crap. Whatever the mentally handicapped braintrust wants to make a fabricated reality to support their sicko dystopian aspirations for the world is how they roll.
  11. It is really unfortunate that nobody produces a high quality 90 degree 12VHPWR (aka 12V-2x6) cable. It is really inexcusable. How hard can it be? CableMod produces a new type (Steathsense) that is supposedly the best available but I do not want to be a guinea pig. The straight connections really suck and are not even good for many of the largest cases on the market.
  12. Well, I am glad you got it sorted. No telling how mysterious things like that happen. Micro$lop is pulling lots of shenanigans. I have Windows Update disabled completely and even renamed system files to try to stop it from running, but it somehow manages to do it anyway. I'm so glad I shifted to Linux being my main OS. Seldom ever any nonsense. Well tht thermal sensor I purchased to keep tabs on my 12VHPWR connector temps seems to be working well. It shows up in HWiNFO64 so I was able to add it to my RTSS OSD profile. Worth every penny of the $10 that I paid for it. Now I need to order another for the 4090/Strix build.
  13. That is very odd. Does it have dual vBIOS? Maybe it got swtiched? If not, then maybe a driver update did something. I know NVIDIA has pushed out firmware with drivers in the past. I haven't seen them do that in a long time though. If I remember correctly it was a real hassle that you went through to get that flashed.
  14. I ordered a thermal sensor from Amazon to connect to the T-sensor on my motherboard and it works well. I have the probe inserted between wires in the 12VHPWR cable near the GPU socket. I confirmed the temperature in HWiNFO64 from the T-Sensor is within about 1-2°C of what it shows with my IR thermometer. Looks like I did not need to worry about my 12VHPWR connector melting unless something changes in terms of load balance. Wonder if the Ampinel will release on schedule with enough stock to not immediately sell out? Supposedly will be available for pre-order, but I'm not seeing that it has been yet. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/5914714
  15. Seems like increasing load line to 150% and setting Vout Command for the value you want your voltage offset to match helps with stability. Just setting the offset and doing nothing else is less consistent. This run flat-lines at 3367 MHz core and 1.150V. I am keeping a finger on the 12VHPWR connector and while I can feel it getting somewhat warmer it is not feeling "hot" even though my meter is showing 1350W from the wall. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_port_royal/submissions/5914106 | https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/144195067
  16. This definitely makes a difference in maximum clocks. Setting 1.100V I have no problem running 3450MHz on core. But, the scores go up very little and power draw goes up about 250-300W. I also need to change thermal paste and go back to KPX or Kryosnot because Alphacool Apex I slapped on there after the EVC2 mod is no bueno. Core temps are much higher delta, even with the chiller. The Apex thermal paste is very similar in performance to PTM pad. Very durable and consistent, but too much thermal resistance. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/5914059 | https://www.3dmark.com/sn/9406069 I glued magnets to the back of the plastic EVC2 case and stuck it next to the motherboard below the SATA ports. When I switch to a more effective thermal paste I will route the EVC2 wiring out of the end near the SATA ports so the wiring is less visible. I also redid part of the loop. I added a ball valve at the first radiator that I can turn off and a QDC fitting to connect the return line to the chiller so this totally bypasses the radiators but still uses all five of my D5 pumps. Even though the temps are impeding the benchmark score, look at how much higher the clocks are before the NVIDIAtard room temperature thermal degradation algorithm effs things up. https://www.3dmark.com/compare/sn/8515121/sn/9406069#
  17. Now that I have confirmed it works I will devise a cleaner way of mounting this inside of the chassis.
  18. Yeah! EVC2 mod works. As a quick test, I goosed the core voltage a little and ran an MSI Kombustor and my GPU is pulling another 250W from the wall now (about 1350W) with everything else stock. I purchased a PCB heater and man... so much easier to solder when the PCB is warmed up.
