If I were Nvidia, I'd use the Holidays to mark down the 4080 to $999 to clear (or at least lessen) inventory then slot in the 4080ti in Q1 2024 at the same MSRP as the 4080ti. Drop the 4080 officially to $999, slot in the 4080ti at $1199 (old 4080 MSRP), drop the 4070 to $499 to meet the 7800xt head to head,, 4070ti to $699 and 4060ti to $349 and $399 to combat the 7700xt but Nvidia is greedy so I only expect some of this to come true. 🙂 If they did the above, gain back some consumer love and really box AMD into a corner who has lost market share since the Cryto-demic era.

I've had none of those problems and our boards are the same and I'm now running the newest BIOS like you. This is having gone through three different sets of memory binning for the best set. I'm sure you've tested each component (RAM, CPU, GPU) at this point so like @Mr. Fox said I'd be wary of a bum board but also the GPU could be suspect and you did a clean install with controlled isolation of update shenanigans too. Any changes since the newest Adrenalin? I would set everything back to auto and if possible pop out the GPU or disable it at the very least and run integrated for a few days and see if anything happens. If everything runs fine, enable the GPU.

Did you run TM5 and WMD too? It might not be memory related. Random as in sitting on the desktop doing nothing or?

Thanks for the in depth testing @Mr. Fox! So basically high end thermal paste without the mess and works best on GPUs and laptops but for direct die and/or LM scenarios it doesn't stack up. I think this is basically the same results JayZ achieved comparing it to KPX but reusable and without the mess.

Jay Port Royal OC adventures with 2x Suprim's and being frustrated lol....

Is this stock hardware or did you upgrade to the M2200M? Was it working fine with the hardware as presented but recently started having issues?

I'll have to try both. I have plenty of laptops that could benefit from improved thermals and the paste sounds intriguing for my NH55. Do you use the paste on your desktops?

I just want to highlight this for later because we know once the binning bug hits you might show up with multiples! 🤣 I was hoping. 🙂 I know when new Intel/Nvidia top end goodies, I can rely on you to snag some so I can see results nice and early! I'm guilty too of being more excited about the RaspberryPi 5 too. 🙂 Hmmmm, I might have to pick some up. I've again had my collection of laptops grow along with other older laptop cooling projects too. The only downside is the greatest of thermal transfer compounds can't outpace an anemic heatsink design.

It's happening....... Who's getting one? I'm pretty sure @Talon will be snagging one. 🤣 Who else on the 17th?

Classic planned obsolescence. They can't just flat out cancel and abandon a previous OS like they want so forced migration by a thousand cuts....(See: XP) Ugh.... Thank you Intel and M$.... ...may I please have another? 🤣

LOL, after the "big reveal" of @HMScott, I figured it was a nice nugget to drop. 🤣 If...*IF*... Nvidia can harness AI and use it to assist or flat out replace traditional rendering techniques and produce equal or better results both in image quality and fps, I'm all for it. It is up to the rest of the industry to equal or best Nvidia with current and potential future AI rendering technologies using their traditional techniques along with RT and XESS/FSR or concede and implement their own AI driven technology. AMD is shifting to ML and AI focus as they can see the writing on the wall for pre-existing rapidly emerging industries and that may include traditional gaming and rendering down the road.

True, you might hope to find an Optimus block (good luck) or get a Bykski or Shyrrik which seem to be readily available for your KP 3090 @tps3443

Got a nice night session in of some desktop cleanup and benches along with tuning my Raptor X15 and corrupting my W11 install pushing it too hard on UV cache with the delidded copper topped 12900k 🤣 Finally passed out at 5am. Newest MSI x670e Carbon BIOS with the 7800X3D. Some basic runs w/ Windows 11 for baseline before a clean install. GPU at stock. CPU = CO @ -30 AC, +25mhz enhancement (!), tuned 6000 A-die. Timespy must have a bug because it said my 7800X3D under the CPU test momentarily hit 6.2ghz. 🤣

Scott Herkelman leaving AMD: https://videocardz.com/newz/scott-herkelman-announces-departure-from-amd And we now are getting Meteor Lake for desktop 2024.... https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-meteor-lake-is-coming-to-desktops-in-2024 With a ho hum 14th gen "refresh" and nothing from AMD, Intel or Nvidia on the horizon, settle in and enjoy your hardware. 🙂

Well you shoulda chimed in and said something so I could have updated the launch page sooner! 🤣 I haven't had much time to do anything with my X15 from that last delid and install. I didn't even re-adjust the tables for UV or anything so I was dragging it out to start working some more with it and thought, "I wonder if there's a heatsink for this yet if ever?" The great thing is unlike the X170SM/KM heatsink which is plenty beefy on its own so its version of this isn't that much better versus the NH55 OEM heatsink that is rather weak especially the CPU portion which is downright anemic.

Looks like there *might* be an after market CPU/GPU cooler for the NH55 finally: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805211337886.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

I usually responded as soon as I signed back on if there were any inbox/email inquires so within 24hrs. I also would confer with other mods to get a group consensus or input on bans, strikes and warnings. Sometimes other mods can see things differently for clarity. If I had to guess, it was a bit too much of poking the proverbial bear even if the stick was laden with truths. Hopefully there is an appeal process or you can escalate but if not that's that. 😞 No way I'm paying $3200/4000 for that card. Seeing more results show it to be no better than others under most conditions just solidifies that even moreso. Even at that price, they sold out quick for their initial run so clearly there was a market for 4090 buyers wanting it. I almost regretted paying more for my Suprim ($1800) even over a base $1600 model but it has turned out to be a very quiet (no to low coil whine) good mem and especially good GPU core clocker even on stock vBIOS and dumps all the heat out of my case so I'm good to go but in hindsight I might have been able to squeak by with a 7900xtx and pocketed (or kept) the ~$800-900+ differential (I think I paid $1910 shipped to my door after tax from 'da egg). If anyone wants to split the difference, the Asus Evangelion Edition is back in stock for $2300 🤣

Sheesh, @Mr. Fox is ~57% higher performance with his 4090 vs your KP 3090. Me looking at your results while sipping my latte... 🤣

You meant to say he is busy defrauding Amazon and Nvidia by returning 4090 cards he has clearly violated the warranty by flashing an unsupported 1000+watt bios and burning the card up. Hope that helps. Sounds like a personal grudge to me with one user to another....might turn into a popcorn worthy event! Somewhere the bean counters have decided addressing it on a case by case basis at this point is more financially sound than issuing an entire recall and replacement program. Only time will tell if this was a good call. Yikes, did you contact the mods to see why you were banned? What community rules did you break? I've never been banned on Reddit but in my defense I think I've posted all of two times in my entire life.....

I have never even heard of grooves.land before.... Like @Mr. Fox points out, If you're going to go big, go right. Really stick to MSI, Asus or if you want to import something the HOF 4090 for a better overall phase and design. I was watching your last video with Starfield @tps3443 and watching those native dips well below 60fps at 4k hurt my soul. 🤣

Most likely setting a template for max draw to compare other OC endevours for comparison and know what the upper limit is. I'm even more curious about his HOF 4090 and the dual power connectors seeing as he was pulling ~1500w from the Strix and pushing his PSU. With dual PSUs and adequate cooling I'm hoping to see something that will differentiate the HOF from other single lead cards. If it hits the same wall, outside of power balancing the dual connectors would be kind of a dead end due to limitations of the 4090 itself.

Or you could be denied a warranty claim for a broken warranty seal sticker which is against the law yet still do it anyhow as Asrock seems to be doing:

KEFI out here talking the talk and walking the walk. Buying hardware out of his own pocket and just pushing it as far as it will go. This is his second 4090 after his first went to hardware heaven and he ordered a HOF 4090 too (second half of video).

Max OC = 3060 from HUB and basically Strix level hardware with some tweaks (as noted by @Papusan). What I took away the most from this review was how impressive those Kryosheets (aka PT) are for cooling getting into the neighborhood of liquid metal even for GPUs. (LM = 58, KS = 60, Paste = 67). Those pads really do seem to be the best of both worlds if you don't want the headaches of liquid metal. Pricing = $4000 US?!?!?!?!?! Is that for real? De8auer going more indepth as always. Max OC = 3090 but better normal out of the box thermal and clock characteristics. These are "binned" from Asus. Optimum (formerly Optimum Tech) quick comparison to FE and MSI Liquid. I'm sure LM would make the Liquid and Matrix even for temps. Again, great out of the box thermal and clocking characteristics but max OC = ~3000 flat Aesthetically, it is gorgeous and would really shine vertically mounted in a nice industrial build. Outside of that? Nothing really special. Average OC across all three cards = ~3050mhz. Also the copper and LM is not going to bode well over time.

TL;DR : Pick your poison. 🙈🙉🙊
