    Absolutely and to watch the market disintegrate like this is rather satisfying.....

    Supply and Demand in full effect; Gigabyte 3090ti $500 off $1649:

    @jaybee83 actually has a G.Skill 3800 rated DDR4 kit in his but I don't know if he's been able to get any type of access to timings yet.

    Unfortunately that will still only get you so far limited at 88w trying to shoehorn a 5950x and leave you at the mercy of varying boosts depending on load (which can be good or bad). On my 5800x desktop after optimizing CO and PBO after the Ageisa update that neutered it I ended up going classic static OC for consistency and stability. Still, it is better than nothing if you're trying to extract optimal performance of the 5950x in a severely underpowered chassis. X170'esque chassis would handle a 5950x with ease. I wish Clevo would offer a 17.3" DTR but as @1610ftw said hopefully Clevo will offer something compelling with AMDs new lineup along with 13th gen.

    This. Clevo had a golden opportunity to really apply all those great power limits and cooling to a much less power hungry and better CPU (before 12th) with the 5000 series and did nothing with it. If they took the hardware of the X170SM/KM and made and had made an AMD variant? I would have been all over it. Hopefully they do something with AM5 better than trying to shoehorn a 5950x in what is available now and fight an uphill battle and still never achieve proper 5950x performance even with all the tweaks.

    That looks beautiful bro! Looking forward to the results. @win32asmguy Any updates on your NH55?
  7. electrosoft
    Yeah, Prema on the KM is basically done. Too many issues. @Sydneyblue so you sold your KM to turn around and build an 11th gen rig vs 12th gen?
  8. electrosoft
    I'll have to add a tube to my collection for testing when available. Looks promising.
  9. electrosoft
    Looking at the design it is a solid, massive copper heatsink that happens to have a water cooling flow system imbedded in it so it looks like it provides solid cooling (especially the CPU) and when you add water cooling at your discretion through the connects it just enhances it more. My P870TM was a monster and I loved it. That VC for the GPU(s) was nice but the CPU heatsink was still a standard one that was decently beefy. Yikes on the thermal pads. That can definitely compromise pairing pressure. As for the ram, unless the modded bios sent sky high voltage through your ram, it wasn't the xmp timings.
  10. electrosoft
    I didn't even push it lol as I was testing baselines at stock for cooling going back and forth to compare data versus the desktop then other work stepped in. On the desktop, as you saw in the X170 forum, it was right there with my SL as both did 5.3 desktop all core no problem CB23 loop and blew the ZtecPC binned CPU out the water (which in turn leveled the other two off the shelf randos).
  11. electrosoft
    It makes you wonder why they would regress from such a nice, beefy heatsink in the 15.6" AMD DTR to what was the final product for ADL? Even 12600's can run hot in there.
  12. electrosoft
    I haven't found someone who tested it in both standard and water cooled version yet. They are priced cheaply on Aliexpress now though so I've been mulling over ordering one to see. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256802893647618.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis!USD!US %2436.00!US %2428.80!!!!!%4021031a5516542938709864495efa22!12000025851981212!sh&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.productList_2002555959075.pic_0 Ah, ok. I use Phobya too but I think I'm going to pop the LTX back in since it is already delidded with the Nickel plated BartX IHS and run it a few days with Phobya again and then a few days with LM and a foam perimeter to note the differences. My heatsink was already previously used in a LM mount from Ztec so it is well soaked as is. I just ordered a more precise, lower range torque screw driver too recommended by a few fellow Pi robots buddies I collab with who use it for all their precision assemblies for a better price (rebrand of many other models): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YXYHVFS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews to really dial it in. I might just stick with the LTX depending on results and sell the SL since the SL is in pristine condition (never delidded) with original box, SL paperwork, etc. I only want to hold onto one of them and the LTX was close enough. Basically, whichever one sells I'll keep the other.
  13. electrosoft
    True, I found this out early on. Basically eating your own chow. The blessing and the curse of using your own screws is you don't need shims or taller IHS's. The curse is of course dialing in the optimal amount of torque. Get a manual (or powered) screw driver with torque settings. Dial in the optimal settings for your unit for maximum pairing pressure: https://www.amazon.com/CDI-61NSM-Torque-Micro-Adjustable-centinewton/dp/B000JXPF12/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1 @Clamibot are you running standard TIM or LM on your CPU?
  14. electrosoft
    I like they gave the CPU a full 4 post mounting but even looking at their past 15.6" designs for desktop CPUs for both Intel and AMD I have no idea how this was their final boss heatsink especially looking at that early prototype. Here's hoping Aliexpress has a good aftermarket design like those that have shown up for the X170, P870 and P77X series.
  15. electrosoft
    BGA issues aside.... My issue is looking at the prototype for this at the trade show versus the final product is a slap in the face in regards to the heatsink. The original heatsink shown was much beefier for the CPU. Whoever decided to go from this: To this: Needs to be evaluated.....unless it is a bean counter then we know why. Who in their right mind evaluated the 12th gen performance and heat generation and decided this was an acceptable solution is mind boggling.
  16. electrosoft
    VMD is a bane when trying to clean install new BGA laptops from Acer too. Their pre-installs come with it enabled but as soon as you nuke the drive it disappears except in the BIOS. You have to disable it there too.
  17. electrosoft
    So are the bulk of you happy or sad about the AVX512 being disabled? I'm indifferent as it didn't make or break my leisure or workflow 🤷‍♀️
  18. electrosoft
    Very nice bro! Definitely post all the juicy stuff! 😁
  19. electrosoft
    AMD looks like it is coming in guns ablazing and while Intel will retain the single core performance crown, AMD will win at everything else. What is the logic behind fusing off AVX512?
  20. electrosoft
    2. Yep. 4. Glad the info helped out!

    Or a cherry picked unit was sent his way.

    MSI's version of the 12950HX hitting 24140 @ ~160w / 95c -50uv in MSI BIOS out of the box in CB23:
  24. electrosoft
    So how goes the comparison with the NH55 vs the Scar? Leaning one way or the other yet? I suspect the Scar cost much more but the one stand out feature I do like is the 17.3" display. I wish they offered a version with the full fat HX but 3060 at a much reduced cost. Any side by side pics?
  25. electrosoft
    Welcome! 1. It has definitely been fixed and improved. You have to exert a little bit of force to get them to come out now. 2.780w will work but some of the old reports on the old forums said it had a not so great design and was a bit on the dirty side. 3. Problems with running 4 sticks at 3200 is a common problem. Locked down BIOS is another. 4. 12th gen Clevo is a 15.6" model for desktop CPU supported laptop here: Apparently the 17.3" X270 is BGA across the board. 5. Prema was supposed to be in the works but it looks like it is DOA due to many issues with the system implementing it. Prema is available on select X170SM-G models.
